Chapter 316 Back in time, Han Mengyao and the evil phoenix!
Mountain villa, living room.
Han Mengyao and Li Guanqi pushed open the door and entered the spacious living room.
The first thing that caught people's attention was the large fish tank placed in the corner. There were several golden carps swimming happily in the tank.
"This is your dad's favorite."
Han Mengyao smiled and looked at Li Guanqi, "He loved fish farming and fishing during his lifetime, and he often took your mother and me to the nearby lake to fish."
"……No."
Li Guanqi shook his head, with complicated eyes, "In my impression, what he hates most is fish.
The person who likes fish farming and fishing...that's me.
When I was a child, I loved fish.
But my dad doesn't like it.
Once, I was...about nine years old?
I took the fish I caught from the river home, cut a big plastic bottle, filled it with water, and kept the fish in it.
When my dad came home, he asked me to throw it away.
I don't want to.
I had a fight with my dad.
He is a very macho man and always sticks to his word at home, so my rebelliousness made him feel very angry.
My dad was furious.
Since then, there has never been any fish in our house...well, except for those on the table, of course."
As he said that, Li Guanqi smiled.
But there was no smile in his eyes, there were just tears shining slightly.
"..."
Seeing this scene, Han Mengyao pursed her lips and gently held Li Guanqi's hand without saying anything else.
What kind of thing can make a man who hates fish the most choose to fish and raise fish in his later years?
She and Li Guanqi knew it very well.
The old man named Li Yangqiu raised the fish in the fish tank and fished by the lake, but they were not actually "fish".
It was the longing for his son who had disappeared for many years, and the... guilt for what he had done in his childhood.
"I never blamed him."
Li Guanqi looked at Han Mengyao with a bitter smile, "I was still young at that time, and I had only one hobby every day. If I wasn't allowed to raise fish, I wouldn't raise it. How could I ever blame him? I had forgotten this a long time ago... But he
, but he still remembers."
Han Mengyao held his hand and looked at him without speaking.
But those beautiful eyes filled with affection seemed to have spoken a thousand words and countless words of comfort.
"call--"
Li Guanqi took a deep breath and calmed down before looking down at his right hand and making a fist.
After the simulator obtains the "Time Earrings" and collects three time items, it unlocks a new function, time retrieval, which is actually similar to a superpower.
The feeling of activating this ability is similar to activating a special ability.
And now, he is ready to activate this ability.
"Buzz——"
In Li Guanqi's right hand, little bits of gold and silver light suddenly appeared, gradually spreading out and covering the entire mountain villa.
Go back in time!
soon.
The entire villa area has changed.
It was clearly early morning before, and the sun outside was bright, but now it suddenly became dim. Looking out the window, the sky was pitch black, filled with colorful twisted light groups.
Li Guanqi has seen this scene before.
In the ancient ruins of the strange world, in that broken small world, the edge of the world also looks like this - in an incomplete world, the edge of space will have this appearance.
The Dream Viewing Sanctuary is located in an alien space, and this alien space is not an independent world, so naturally such a situation will occur.
"here we go."
Li Guanqi's eyes narrowed slightly.
Time travel has begun.
The period we are looking back to now is when the Dream Viewing Sanctuary has not yet built the Mimic Sky Screen.
Li Guanqi withdrew his gaze and looked into the living room again.
The living room at this time was also very different from before. The placement and style of various furniture were different, and the lights were bright.
It didn't take long.
The figure of an old man wearing a light blue sweater gradually appeared in front of the fish tank.
He was a very tall old man. Even though he was old and frail and his body was stooped, he still looked more than 1.8 meters tall.
He just leaned on crutches and stood quietly in front of the fish tank, staring at the fish swimming in the tank with a dazed expression.
"Father-in-law?! This..."
When Han Mengyao saw this scene, she immediately looked in disbelief.
She quickly looked at Li Guanqi beside her, only to find that the man had tears streaming down his face, but he stood motionless.
"My dad is old."
Li Guanqi wiped the tears on his face, took a deep breath, and then chuckled: "This should be when he is 70 or 80 years old?"
Han Mengyao suddenly understood.
This scene now is not real.
"Probably after the age of 82."
Han Mengyao looked at the old man in blue shirt in front of the fish tank and said softly: "This blue sweater is my 82nd birthday gift to him. It is knitted by myself. By the way, your mother taught me how to knit sweaters."
Where's mine?"
"ha……"
Li Guanqi looked at the stooped old man in blue shirt who was leaning on crutches, and smiled with tears in his eyes, "Mengyao, you know, he used to be very strong, and he especially loved to exercise, and it was not about cardiopulmonary exercise.
Just by simply building muscles, he will look stronger than me when he is 50 years old."
But as people age, muscles atrophy.
Li Guanqi never dared to imagine that that strong man would one day become so thin.
"..."
The scene of going back in time reappeared, silently.
At the top of the stairs, suddenly an old woman holding a cane slowly went downstairs and came to the living room with the help of a woman.
That woman was clearly Han Mengyao back then, no different from now.
As for the old woman, although she is old, her eyebrows are gentle and kind, and even though her face is wrinkled, it is not difficult to see that she must have been as beautiful as the woman next to her when she was young.
"mom……"
Li Guanqi smiled and said, "My mother is old too. By the way, have you seen what she looked like when she was young?"
"certainly."
Han Mengyao also smiled and looked at him and joked: "My mother-in-law was really beautiful when she was young. I often told her that it would be a pity not to become a star after she retired as an athlete. Also, if you inherit the beauty from your mother-in-law,
A little, maybe he's not any worse in appearance than Lin Daochang."
"Forget it."
Li Guanqi shook his head and laughed, "Men don't have to be so good-looking. I am very satisfied that I can inherit my father's toughness."
"That's right."
Han Mengyao smiled and gently rested her head on his shoulder.
After that, neither of them spoke anymore.
The effect of time rewind is still continuing, and the rewind screen begins to change.
Sometimes the lights are brightly lit, as bright as day.
Sometimes the lights are all turned off, like late at night.
Li Guanqi held Han Mengyao's hand and walked back and forth in this mountain villa in the process of "looking back in time", looking at the past time one after another.
His parents were sitting on the balcony, and the two elders were quietly basking in the sun.
His mother was sitting on the bed, teaching Han Mengyao how to knit a sweater.
Sometimes, Han Mengyao's parents would come. Li Guanqi's father was the best at cooking. After retiring from his career as an athlete, he even got a chef certificate. Naturally, he would cook and prepare dinners for everyone.
There is also a scene where Han Mengyao is learning to cook from his father.
Then...this villa renovated a kitchen.
"Ha ha!"
Li Guanqi couldn't help laughing when he saw this, turned to look at Han Mengyao, and asked with a smile: "I remember you can cook? How did you do it?"
"Don't blame me..."
Han Mengyao looked embarrassed, "It's your dad. Your dad's cooking is too high-end. The dishes he cooks are not made by ordinary people. All kinds of messy ingredients are processed at the same time. I was in a hurry, and then I forgot that there was still something in the stove.
The soup is simmering, and then it explodes..."
Li Guanqi smiled even brighter and gently held her in his arms.
The scene of going back in time still continues.
After the joyful life scenes, a heavy scene suddenly came.
His mother... seems to be suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
In several consecutive scenes, Han Mengyao was taking care of his mother's daily life, wiping her body, carrying her upstairs and downstairs, and even personally carrying her feces and urine... Sometimes, his mother was furious in her stupid state, and said:
Han Mengyao kept beating and scolding her, but she didn't show any sign of impatience.
"..."
When Li Guanqi saw this, his heart suddenly tightened. He lowered his head to look at Han Mengyao in his arms and said guiltily: "I'm sorry... I'm really, really sorry."
"What's this?"
But Han Mengyao just smiled and snuggled into his arms like a kitten, "I'm telling you, I am your wife, so I must take care of my parents-in-law."
"You can just hire a caregiver for her."
Li Guanqi couldn't help but said, "There's no need to do it in person..."
"No."
Han Mengyao shook her head, "I don't worry about outsiders taking care of her."
"And it didn't take long."
As she said that, she raised her head, looked at Li Guanqi and said with a smile: "Don't worry, after your mother fell ill, I mobilized all the power of the shelter to conduct research in this area. Of course, that was 32 extraordinary years ago. At that time
, our shelter is just a group of stone houses, with almost no scientific research capabilities.
However, there is a superhuman with different blood. His super power is very special. He cured your mother easily and made your mother's thinking more flexible. From the beginning to the end, your mother only suffered from illness.
It’s only been three months.”
"..."
Li Guanqi remained silent, but hugged Han Mengyao tightly in his arms. The guilt in his heart could not be expressed in words at all.
Next, the picture of time becomes increasingly blurry.
In the last scene, they returned to the living room.
Under the dim sky, his parents were sitting shoulder to shoulder on the sofa in the living room. Their figures gradually became less clear, and in the end, only the outline of a light spot remained.
After this scene passed, the environment of the villa was restored again.
Li Guanqi looked out the window.
The sun is shining... Mimicry sky screen.
Time goes back and it's over.
"What kind of ability is this?"
Han Mengyao raised her head from Li Guanqi's arms and looked at him curiously.
"It's called time travel."
Li Guanqi smiled and said: "Now, I can only use it to see some fragments of the past, but maybe... when I become very strong, I can use this ability to change the past, maybe?"
Han Mengyao's beautiful eyes widened slightly, unable to hide the surprise on her face.
"But that's all for the future."
Li Guanqi took her little hand, slowly walked to the sofa in the living room, sat down together, held her in his arms, lowered his head, and smelled the fragrance of sunflowers in Han Mengyao's hair.
"Meng Yao."
"Um?"
"Thank you."
"I told you, I should do it... Guanqi, I love you."
"Me too."
Li Guanqi hugged Han Mengyao tightly and said softly: "I love you too, very much, so... you can tell me everything. I'm back. I'm very strong and can kill the five elements. No matter what you encounter
No matter what difficulties or enemies, I am always there."
"..."
Han Mengyao was silent for a while and then said, "Where should I start?"
"Let's start with this."
Li Guanqi took out a yellowed diary from the space necklace and handed it to Han Mengyao.
"Eh?!"
Han Mengyao was startled, holding the diary, she straightened up and looked at Li Guanqi in astonishment, "Isn't this the diary I gave to Sister Lian for safekeeping?"
"So to speak."
Li Guanqi smiled, "But, as I said before, the weird world is likely to be the future, but we have 100 million extraordinary beings... Well, many of them may have died in reality.
Anyway, let’s call the ‘one hundred million’ in my mouth an imaginary number. No matter what, there are still tens of millions left.
In short, for 100 million extraordinary beings, there are 100 million weird worlds.
In other words... this diary is one of 100 million, and by coincidence, a certain extraordinary person brought it back to reality, and I got it from that extraordinary person...
Oh, by the way, there’s also this.”
With that said, Li Guanqi took out an old trophy covered with mottled marks from the space necklace.
The words "Guanyao" are also engraved on the trophy base.
"A trophy I won in an extraordinary year!"
Han Mengyao was overjoyed and quickly picked up the trophy, her face full of nostalgia, "Ah... it was a hundred years ago. This is the trophy I won a hundred years ago. I defeated everyone on campus at that time."
All of them are the first champions of Chaozhou University."
"Why are these characters engraved?"
Li Guanqi asked with a smile.
"Isn't it bad?"
Han Mengyao looked at him and wrinkled her nose, "Aren't you willing?"
"How is that possible? It's great! Of course I am willing!" Li Guanqi nodded quickly.
"hey-hey."
Han Mengyao smiled with satisfaction and couldn't put it down, playing with the trophy, "When I left, I entrusted your parents to Sister Lian, and also gave her the diary and the trophy for safekeeping, but..."
At this point, the smile on her face gradually disappeared and she sighed softly, "After I came back, after many twists and turns, I was lucky enough to find your parents, and they were also lucky not to be harmed by nuclear radiation and the heterogeneous virus.
But there has been no news about Sister Lian for a long time. No one knows about her, and no one knows whether she is dead or alive.
I asked your parents, and they said that Sister Lian disappeared mysteriously at the end of the extraordinary 19th year before the apocalypse broke out."
The more Han Mengyao talked, the lower her mood became.
"About your departure that year..."
Li Guanqi did not continue to discuss the matter of "Lian". After all, he had no clue, so he directly picked up the diary, turned to the last page, and handed it to Han Mengyao.
——Super 18 years, December 12
I have been watching chess for 18 years.
I can't hold it any longer.
The evil phoenix has an increasing influence on me.
Her kindness to me is true, but I can't give her my body.
She and I must finally come to an end.
Guanqi, I asked Sister Lian to take care of your parents and give this diary to her for safekeeping.
I don't know if I can come back.
What’s more, I don’t know if the person who came back is me, Han Mengyao.
I'm going to the North Pole, where the ice-based spiritual power can help me suppress her power.
And you also have ice powers.
Bless me, watch chess.
I love you.
——
"What the hell is going on?"
Li Guanqi looked at Han Mengyao and said seriously: "Tell me everything, maybe I can help you."
"this……"
Han Mengyao's eyes were complicated and her lips parted slightly, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her eyebrows were furrowed, she lowered her head, gritted her teeth and shouted, "What are you going to do?! No way! Evil Phoenix!!! It took a lot of effort for me to follow him.
We meet again, you have to compete with me at this time... huh?"
Her expression changed slightly.
Han Mengyao's eyes flickered. After a few seconds, she raised her head to look at Li Guanqi and said hesitantly: "She, she wants to talk to you."
"Let her speak."
Li Guanqi nodded.
I saw Han Mengyao lowering her head, her delicate body trembling. It didn't take long for the black hair on her head to quickly change from the roots. From black to red, she turned into a head of fiery red hair in an instant, and the ends of her hair were even brighter.
It has a touch of golden color.
"call--"
She exhaled, slowly raised her head, and looked at Li Guanqi with a smile.
That is Han Mengyao's face.
But she is not Han Mengyao.
In addition to the hair color, the pupils of the eyes have also changed. There is a golden circle on the edge of the fiery red pupils.
The depths of these red gold eyes come from another non-human soul.
And Li Guanqi...has seen this look before!
"It's you."
Li Guanqi's face was expressionless, "Today is not the first time we have met, right?"
"ha."
"Han Mengyao" in front of him smiled and said, "It's good that you still remember me. My name doesn't matter. I don't like it myself. If you can, just call me Evil Phoenix. Of course, if you see this
Face, if you just want to call me wife, I actually don’t mind, hehe.”
"..."
Li Guanqi was silent for a moment.
really.
is it.
After the Liugui Village incident ended, Li Guanqi came to the martial arts hall of Chaofan University one month later and gave Han Mengyao boxing to help her break through.
As a result, after Han Mengyao broke through to the first level, she suddenly lost control and became a little... crazy. She even hugged his head and kissed him passionately.
It was an indescribable tongue kiss experience.
"Are you comfortable that night?"
On the sofa, Xie Huang put his hands on Li Guanqi's shoulders and breathed into his ear, "Are my kissing skills better than hers? More comfortable?"
"Make a condition."
Li Guanqi was unmoved by the wet feeling in his ears, but since it was Han Mengyao's body, he didn't do anything. He just said in a cold voice: "How can I leave her body? Be direct."
"readily!"
Xie Huang stepped back, leaning against the cushions of the sofa, looking at him with a half-smile, his eyes evil.
Compared to Han Mengyao's gentleness, this kind of look is actually more tempting to men.
"Her body has been transformed by my heart for hundreds of years. In fact, it already looks like a phoenix. With some special methods, she can also transform into a phoenix form in a short time."
"But it's still not the real Phoenix body."
"If I had to choose, this half-human, half-phoenix body would not be my first choice."
"So, the key question is, do I have a choice?"
Evil Phoenix came closer to Li Guanqi, almost nose to nose, looking at him with smiling eyes, and her red lips parted slightly:
"A phoenix egg."
"You find me a living phoenix egg, and I leave her body. It's that simple."
