This may be the first time Wen Jiu looked directly at his former fiancée after "that incident".
The two people's eyes met directly. At this moment, Wenying was surprised.
She really didn't know that what she noticed in the crowd was none other than Wen Jiu himself. During the pursuit, she was not carried away by her emotions. She also thought about it, this was a trap, a bait. Maybe,
This is just someone, even a puppet, who is tainted with the scent of warm wine. It doesn't need to be him anyway.
But when she was completely sure that this was the living Wenjiu, Zhongli Wenjiu, she choked up and couldn't say a word.
This chase has been going on for several days, and she has barely had a drop of water. The power to support her normal activities has long been exhausted. What allows her to stand here now is the body's burning of monster power. This is very important to monsters.
It's very normal. It's better to say that most monsters use this method to survive.
——Acquire a large amount of monster power through various methods, and then burn it slowly to maintain survival, or prepare for the next massacre and devouring, the latter requires you to be stronger... For some monsters, just like humans, from simple food
Absorbing nutrients without consuming your own demonic power is a very ridiculous behavior.
Since you have such ability and power, why don't you use it? They won't understand. Just like Wenying doesn't understand that she can survive by superficial methods without having to fight and kill all day long. Although she is a
Although youkai, compared with most humans and the monsters that have integrated into human life, still have primitive and strong demonic nature - she still prefers peace after all.
Maybe now, it's time to have a confrontation.
The sky was dark, dusk had passed, and the twilight that would approach the night at any time was scary. The two of them just stood in the field, separated by a distance that could be said to be long or short. There was no cover here.
There are only desolate open spaces. The winter is so cold, and the cold wind is galloping wildly in the wilderness without shelter.
Wenying's hair was messy and swaying in the wind, like snow trying to break free.
"Answer me!" Her voice penetrated the cold wind, "How long do you want to escape?"
"I have never escaped." Wenjiu said calmly. In the biting cold wind, his long black hair swayed with the wind, forming a sharp contrast with the person in front of him.
"Why are you avoiding me? Avoiding me? I have never wanted to be a woman who keeps getting entangled. I just want to ask clearly, what made you choose the path you are now? I don't want to force you to think about it.
The day in the rumors - the day you left! But you should explain it to me clearly! If you can explain it to me and convince me, I will no longer bother you!"
"I know you are not a woman who keeps pestering you... You have not changed much over the years. I am very pleased."
"You are no longer qualified to be happy with me or anything like that." Wenying shook her head, "I originally thought there was something hidden in this... maybe there is. But I can no longer forgive you, you
Working for the Wuyong clan, and they are such a bunch of bastards!"
Looking at Wenying who was clenching her teeth and looking almost ferocious, Wenjiu just responded lightly:
"This is a really unpleasant thing to say, but I won't refute you. The only thing I want to correct is that I am not working for the Wuyong clan. The only person I helped was Wuyonglan."
"He's the bastard's bastard!"
"I still don't deny your evaluation." Wen Jiu smiled slightly, "You are still as arbitrary as before. It's true that what you said is wrong, but it is undeniable that he is indeed a very powerful guy. No matter what
As a human being, you are still a monster.”
"When did you become so swayed by others?!"
"If you understand this, I won't make any excuses. Rather, I should admit it. I do need an ally strong enough to achieve my goal. Since you are chasing me here, I should take some time to explain. We
Can they be considered friends? For now, he
He has his ideals, and I have my pursuits. As for what, why, and how to do it, it is our personal business. Both of us also know that our goals may be different, but on the way to the goal, we are both determined.
The other party's help is indispensable. At least, it will be more convenient."
"What ideas do you have? What kind of pursuits do you have? After all these years, I don't understand you at all."
"After all, we have been apart for many years... both demons and humans will change." Wen Jiu repeated, "Both things will change."
"If you want to change, just change - you have already changed." Wenying felt a sadness in her eyes, "I know that you may not be able to come back. I'm afraid I only like you in the past."
"Yes, you don't like me."
When she said this, Wenying's disheveled hair made it difficult to see Wenjiu's expression. But his tone was so normal, as if he was describing someone else's insignificant, trivial matter. But she still felt a palpitation in her heart, as if
It felt like she had been exposed. But she had clearly admitted it, hadn't she? What did she care about? She took a few deep breaths, and the cold wind made her conscious. Then, she stabilized her emotions and followed the warmth.
The wine talk continued.
"I did like you, but I'm sorry. If you change, I won't like you anymore."
"Well, what you like is not the real me, nor the person you like no matter what I become."
"Is there anything wrong with this?" Wenying really didn't understand. "Whoever I like is my freedom."
"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to blame you... Rather, I think your choice is correct. From a rational point of view, although your adventures are a bit stupid, they can ultimately be explained reasonably. I chose
You walk with the strong, but you choose to be friends with humans. You are more honest and clear-headed than me. I can’t figure it out now. Did I really...love you like that, the same as you, or just say
, is this just a matter of course?"
Indeed, almost everyone has acquiesced in their relationship. One is Han Chang's biological sister, and the other is Han Chang's good brother. They support each other along the way. Anyone who hears such a story will feel that they are a match made in heaven. But
Just some accidents happened - nothing, things are unpredictable. Although it sounds a bit regretful, this is not a story, they also have their own lives. Living in this world, they have to make choices constantly. It just happens that now their respective choices
, let them drift away.
In fact, Wenying understands better than anyone else.
"I want to refute you." Wenying's tone suddenly became firm, "I assume you are right about everything else, except that you should not compare the strong and humans to be on the same level. Among humans,
There are also strong people, and you should not deny them from the bottom of your heart."
Wen Jiu's expression suddenly changed slightly. He seemed to frown, but also seemed to want to smile. This was by no means a common expression. It would be better to say that they had grown up together since they were young, and he had never seen him know how to ask Yingying.
By doing this, he probably wanted to laugh at me.
"Otherwise...?" When he said it, his face turned completely gloomy. "Human beings are hopeless things. No matter how strong they are, their hearts are still so dirty. They always want to pursue something better.
Great wealth or power. Since there is such a pursuit, it means that they are not satisfied with the status quo and are greedy. Then, they think that they are not rich enough and not strong enough. In this way, aren't they weak? Everyone is
That’s true.”
"How can you say that?! Have you forgotten all those people who have helped us?!"
Wenying yelled out loud. She had never been so emotional today because Wenjiu's words were so unbelievable to her.
"...Have you forgotten what humans have done to your family?" Wen Jiu said with a stern face, "I think you have been with that group of humans for too long and have forgotten their nature. I don't deny it.
, we have received help from many people when we were in trouble - but that was because they thought we were human! If
As a monster, a hundred lives are not enough to die. You have forgotten your encounter with Hanshang. I remember, I still remember my father and my mother - I remember them clearly! I also thought that human beings are divided into
Good and evil, there must be truly kind and truly upright people in the world. I thought that at that time, Han Sheng’s disciples and I..."
His voice was not loud, but his tone was passionate. There was a real change in his mood, and Wenying felt puzzled. Is it because she mentioned humans? Wenjiu's past... will indeed leave a bad impression on humans.
Impression. However, Han Chang, who had similar experiences, has understood it clearly and guided the two of them to learn to face it and let it go. Wenying has already done it, but didn’t he warm the wine? He clearly didn’t... Could it be that he has never let go
, just pretending to be fine just to give them face?
In this case, it would be too unfair to the three of them.
Wenying was completely choked. She didn't know what else she could say. She had reason to suspect that something must have happened in the teacher's sect. That day, his brother fainted on the fluorescent shore and gained access to the depths of the ocean.
It came with Shiranui's power. But in a place he didn't know, Wenjiu killed their master to death... What's the connection between this? He was originally going to make an appointment to meet Han Chang, wasn't he?
In the past ten years, Wenjiu has been burdened with so much infamy. Whether he deserves it or not - the infamy is indeed imposed on him by humans. She still doesn't know what Wenjiu wants to do. She only knows that their path has already been reached.
The end.
She only stuck her head out today and actually saw the pitch-black abyss.
In a daze, Wenying forgot what answer he wanted to pursue. Since he didn't know what he had experienced, what he cared about, and what kind of people his friends were - and he didn't bother to know, then, this
There is really nothing to say about everything. It is not because of these things themselves, but because his attitude has conveyed many "don'ts".
Don't do it, don't chase it, don't ask it.
Then...that's it.
"You can go back to your brother and friends." His tone became gentle again, "Say hello to them for me. This time, I won't make things difficult for you, but if there is another time, I won't do that again.
It's simple. We all have our own positions and things to do. I hope we can get together and get together easily and stop getting in each other's way. Ah, of course...it's useless to say this to you."
"I understand." Wenying's tone was terrifyingly calm.
"Let your human friend... be careful. In addition, let me give you something as our farewell gift."
Wenying, who just lowered her head and was about to leave, silently looked back.
