Yunjin hunched me on his back and flew over the colorless black woods. The overflowing miasma buried everything in gloom and chaos. Even the bright moon in the night sky was affected by this filthy air and turned into a
The color is gray and white. There is the whistling wind in my ears. The wind pours into my ears, which stings a little, as if I am about to lose my hearing. I don't care about the direction Yunjin is heading, and I seem to have forgotten the purpose of coming out with Yunjin tonight.
, the whole heart was occupied by Meng Yunzhong's words, and there was no time to think about anything else.
"If she can let go, I will terminate the engagement. Such a far-fetched marriage will not bring her happiness. If she insists on doing this, I can only give this life back to her."
The cloud brocade moved quickly in the empty sky, but I always stayed in that wooden house, staying on Meng Yunzhong's helpless and sad face.
"...I can only give this life back to her..."
I still can't understand the meaning of this sentence. Is there only compromise in the end? Then why bother to make a bet? Why bother to set up a trap? Why bother to force something plain and comfortable? Why... I finally understand that I have spent all my time
My intention was not to ridicule You Ruojun's persistence and jealousy, not to worry about the fox demon's deal, not to know the so-called secret between me and Meng Yunzhong, I just wanted to bet myself on it, to put my relationship with Meng Yunzhong on the line.
Bet on your future.
I finally understood that in this bet, You Ruojun might only lose his life, but if I lost, I might even lose my heart.
These competitive scrambles.
Even if Meng Yunzhong didn't put his heart on You Ruojun at all, even if Meng Yunzhong was willing to spend time with me on this cliff, even if... so what? In the end, he still couldn't let go of the kindness that that woman had shown him, and he couldn't let go of him.
The brotherly love between you and your adopted brother.
Or, if I win and take You Ruojun's life, can he stay with me for two years? But I am a demon! I can live for ten years or a hundred years with just a daze, but, for decades,
Afterwards, he only left a pile of bones. Do you want him to believe that I will never grow old or die? If one day he knows that I killed You Ruojun, then how should I face it?
To him? Will he forgive me for setting a trap to take him as my own out of jealousy? Even if it is all because of love.
Yun Jin turned sideways, and the moon in the distance suddenly rose. The sudden feeling of weightlessness made me come back to my senses, and I realized that the corners of my eyes were already wet. But there was no time for me to sort out the questions I had just asked myself.
Yunjin had slowly landed on the ground, and I had to pull out of my confusion to see what the surrounding environment was like.
I sniffed the air around me, immediately cheered up, and put aside the words "Meng Yunzhong" for the time being, because the surroundings were surrounded by strong demonic aura, and it was also mixed with a faint demonic aura. Could it be that demons coexist in this place?
?
When I got off Yunjin's back, I realized that the soil under my feet was different from other places. I always felt that there was a strange spiritual energy coming up from the ground, as if it was going to burst the ground. Looking around, it was nothing more than an ordinary forest.
, and the place where we are is not a very big open space, but it always makes people feel a little different.
Without plants, there was no grass growing in this open space.
Yunjin leaned close to the ground and walked back and forth around me cautiously. It seemed that even it felt that the monsters here were not so easy to deal with.
I searched for movement in a wider area through the shadows of trees. After observing for a long time, except for the spiritual energy that was constantly flowing up from the soles of my feet, there seemed to be no other movement.
"Yunjin, is this where you found the scarf?"
Yun Jin hummed in affirmation.
"There are all demons here, and the spiritual energy is too strong, so it may not be easy to deal with. It seems that we need to take a long-term approach and cannot act rashly. I'm afraid we have to investigate the background of the demons entrenched here."
Yun Jin groaned again.
"Then let's go back to Xiaozhu first. I'm afraid there won't be any clues here tonight."
Just as I was talking, my peripheral vision turned to the side of the open space and there was a faint light. I was a little surprised, but the light was very ordinary. I signaled Yun Jin to continue to be alert, and I walked in the direction of the light spot.
When I got closer, I saw that there was a piece of light green jade embedded in the soil, which refracted the moonlight and revealed the light spot just now. I bent down to pick it up, but was immediately stunned.
Isn't this the piece of Hetian jade that the young master of Fu Yuan's family wears on his waist? I was shocked, but I seemed to be expecting it. It seems that the hidden monster here has nothing to do with Fu Yuan's family.
So I held this "clue" tightly and secretly decided to go to the Yuanwai Mansion to find out.
After leaving that place filled with demonic energy, I asked Yun Jin to go back to the small building and came to the sleeping town again. The night in the town was still very quiet, but I had an increasingly uneasy feeling that this quietness might just be
It's just an appearance used to cover up.
The ivy on the wall of Yuanwai's Mansion was dark at night, but at this time, it seemed to me like black juice flowing from the mansion, immersing Yuanwai's Mansion in darkness.
I went directly to the young master's room. Although the furnishings and atmosphere were no different from the last time, I was at least sure of one thing. The jade pendant indeed belonged to him. There was still a vague evil spirit about him, but no matter what,
But I have never been able to connect him with a demon. The eldest young master of Yuanwai Mansion cannot be a demon no matter what. But if there is a demon around him, there should be signs of demons in this mansion, but I have checked several times.
But they found nothing.
No matter how much I speculated, it was useless. This time, there was no clue. I held the jade pendant and stood blankly in front of the young master's bed.
After struggling for a while, I unconsciously thought of You Ruojun's illness. A demon hunter's illness, but he can only seek medicine from this seemingly ordinary Yuanwai Mansion. I'm afraid it's not an ordinary prescription. Maybe I should start from this point.
, let’s see what the origin of the person who can cure the demon hunter is.
After secretly making a decision, I left the Yuanwai Mansion again. This fourth visit should not be so futile, right?
The next day, at the same time, Meng Yunzhong came to the wooden house as scheduled and had lunch with me. I seemed to feel that this was the most peaceful and comfortable period of my day. As long as I sat face to face with him, my heart would naturally relax.
Relax and become a mortal, a weak woman. Everything in life is just waiting for the agreement with him.
The third day, but this day was different. I had to pull my thoughts out of this comfort. It was not because of You Ruojun’s bet, but just out of curiosity. The open space filled with demonic aura was always
In my mind, there is also the unique tranquility of Yuanwai Mansion, and I always feel that all the weirdness may be related to You Ruojun, or even to Meng Yunzhong.
"Brother Yunzhong, has Sister You's illness still not improved?"
Meng Yunzhong held the bowl, looked up at me, and then shook his head.
"The medicine to treat the disease hasn't been prepared yet?"
"I asked yesterday and was told that I still owe some medicine."
"What kind of medicine is it? Is it difficult to find it?"
"I don't know about this. Only the person who prepares this medicine knows the recipe."
"So mysterious? Who is the person who dispenses the medicine?"
"I heard from my sworn brother that he is the eldest young master of Yuan Fu's house. I want to repay the favor."
To repay the favor...I immediately thought of the handsome young man, the person who dispensed the medicine. Is it really him?
"Is this young master's medical skills so good?"
Meng Yunzhong shook his head and said: "Master Fu does know some medical skills, but this prescription was obtained by chance. It is a coincidence that it can cure Ruojun's disease."
"Is there such a coincidence? It seems that God has favored Sister You."
Unexpectedly, Meng Yunzhong sighed again: "Because I haven't taken the medicine yet, Ruojun has been very weak these days, and it's getting worse."
"Really? Then...when can we find this medicine guide?"
"I don't know, I'm just worried that if you don't take the medicine, Ruojun may get sick..."
"Brother Yunzhong... you seem to care about Sister You very much..." I looked at the gloomy expression on his face, and suddenly felt a trace of jealousy, but I immediately came back to my senses, now is not the time for me to be jealous.
He looked up at me, as if he was a little stunned by my reaction, but immediately smiled slightly.
"Look at you, what are you thinking about?"
"I know that I can never replace Sister You." I deliberately turned my face away, but secretly glanced at the expression on his face.
He shook his head helplessly but fondly: "If you are the savior of my adopted brother and me, and your adopted sister's sworn sister, you are naturally my sister. You can't be sworn with me, Jinlan, so naturally you can't take her place."
.Do you also want to be my sister?"
"Brother Yunzhong, do you mean to make fun of me?" I looked at him coquettishly, but saw a gentle but playful smile on his face. I felt very satisfied in my heart. At least, he would not be the so-called "savior".
"Is this side showing in front of you?"
"You still call me brother? Do you really want to be my sister?"
I was speechless for a moment, but I felt extremely happy.
"From now on, please call me Yunzhong."
He suddenly became serious, as if he was speaking to me very solemnly, and I unconsciously put away my smile. I just looked at him dreamily, temporarily forgetting the idea of comparing myself with You Ruojun, and only seeing the person sitting opposite me.
"Yun——Zhong——"
I called out the name with some hesitation. Even though it had been called out thousands of times in my heart, when the actual words came to my lips, I was still a little at a loss. The pounding feeling in my heart was still so obvious, as if
At this moment, this name had covered up all my thoughts. The panic in my heart made me lower my head unconsciously. I suddenly realized that such an unobstructed confusion seemed familiar to me, but it seemed that I had never seen it before.
Yes. This makes me a little confused, a little nervous, and a little surprised.
Silence filled the room like this. I waited for his response for a long time, but found that my mind was blank, but he was subtly silent, which made my heart even more restless.
"Yun Zhong..." I felt a little uncomfortable for a moment and almost said the last two words. I raised my head and wanted to change the subject and break the awkward silence, but I happened to meet his hot gaze. It turned out that
, his response is here.
"How about... let's go help Sister You find some medicine?"
I wanted to try to avoid his gaze, but in the end I still couldn't let go, so I forced myself to meet his eyes, but my whole body seemed to be on fire, as if I had to put in a lot of effort.
, can he control his body. But my words made his eyes stop suddenly, and he returned to the melancholy before.
"This...this prescription can be considered a secret. I don't know if Master Fu is willing to share it easily."
"However, Sister You's illness is getting worse day by day. If it continues, it will only become more dangerous. If you don't try, how will you know that he won't tell you? Moreover, I also hope that Sister You will get better soon, so that... you can move back as soon as possible.
It’s a wooden house…”
The word "curing a disease" may not be worthy of the name, but the latter sentence really comes from the heart. Meng Yunzhong looked at me, which actually made me feel a little uncomfortable.
"That's all, I'll discuss it with my sworn brother when I get back. If Master Fu is willing to tell me, we'll go find Yaoyin immediately. Let's eat quickly."
"Can you take me with you?" I picked up the bowl and hesitated several times, but I couldn't help but ask.
Meng Yunzhong looked at me with some confusion. As expected, I concealed my inner fluctuations and hurriedly looked for a reasonable explanation.
"I...I'm just worried about Sister You...Besides, I also want to meet this young master Fu."
Meng Yunzhong's face was still full of doubts, and his brows wrinkled slightly.
"I...I mean, I also want to see my illness..."
In desperation, I can only come up with this reason.
Meng Yunzhong suddenly put down the rice bowl in his hand, looked at me nervously, and frowned even deeper.
"Yinluo, what's wrong with you? Has the injury from last time not healed yet?"
"No, no..." I shook my head, "It's my blood... I want to know why it turned into the current color."
I breathed a sigh of relief slowly. This excuse should be justified. Meng Yunzhong thought for a moment, but immediately looked at me with concern and said:
"Yeah. That's fine. In the past, you said you had suffered from strange diseases, so you should go and see if you have indeed been cured."
"Yeah." I nodded, feeling a lot of uneasiness in my heart.
