() The sparse trees were covered with white snow, and a sudden chill erupted in the air.
Ice-blue light suddenly appeared on Xia Han's body. In the dull eyes of Thief and Wu Jian, Xia Han's ears slowly grew longer and his face changed, turning into a young elf in the blink of an eye.
Pointed ears, blue blond hair, handsome men and beautiful women - this is the image of elves in the minds of the world.
"Male...male..."
The thief stuttered when he spoke. He pinched his face to make sure he was not dreaming. But he couldn't understand why the beautiful princess who was standing just now turned into a boy with a face as beautiful as a crown jewel in the blink of an eye.
"No, it's impossible...how could a girl turn into a hateful boy!"
His heart began to waver, and the nosebleeds also stopped.
"Ice Arrow..."
Xia Han stood up and launched an attack on the thief. The snowflakes in the air condensed into ice arrows and shot towards the thief's position from all directions.
"Damn it, let me see who you are first!" The thief ignored the incoming ice arrows, only to see a flash of fire in his eyes, and his figure rushed towards Xia Han across the bloody light.
Xia Han immediately stopped the ice arrow.
"Fireball!" He ignited a fireball in his right hand that only a second-level mage could learn and rushed towards the thief. Under normal circumstances, getting close to a mage and a thief would be like seeking death, but it was different at this moment.
When the thief pointed the dagger at Xia Han's pants with a grin, the fireball technique exploded suddenly.
"Wow!" The thief's sight was snatched away in an instant. "Icicle!" A sharp icicle was instantly pulled out of the snow and mercilessly pierced into the thief's body from bottom to top.
"Well..." The thief's lower body was in pain and numbness, and he couldn't help but moan. Xia Han took the opportunity to bully him, and raised the sharp ice with his left hand and slashed through it like lightning. "No..." The thief opened his eyes wide, and the blood vessels in his neck
It split open and spurted out blood.
The blood covered Xia Han's body, and he wiped his face.
"It's bad luck for you if you meet me. I'll look for the key points in a fight..."
Xia Han has no idea of formal combat, and he is not stingy with despicable tactics - he will definitely become an efficient battle mage in the future.
It wasn't until the thief fell to the ground without making a sound that Xia Han slowly walked back to Wu Jian, following the blood marks, and then picked her up by the waist.
"...Your Highness..."
Wu Jian looked at him strangely.
Xia Han lowered his head and smiled. The curvature of his elf-shaped lips was quite perfect. If he let it grow for a few years, this smile alone could easily capture the hearts of many people of the opposite sex: "Wu Jian, thank you for your kiss."
Xia Han apologized to Wu Jian, but he had no idea that the upgrade had nothing to do with Wu Jian. It was just that the thief he happened to meet was a pervert who liked to look at women.
"But it's strange...I didn't feel anything about the kiss just now."
Xia Han was more concerned about this question. Could it be that he was too young? Lying in his arms, Wu Jian's face instantly turned red. She didn't know whether she should answer this question...
Facing the biting cold wind, Xia Han, whose body turned into an elf, felt that the whole world had changed into another color. He hugged Wu Jian and ran forward, as agile as an energetic deer.
The two found a cave and checked Wu Jian's injuries. The thief's dagger stabbed deeply, but did not damage the critical heart and other parts - with Wu Jian's miraculous physique, he could recover early the next morning.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Han went outside to find some food, and then stayed in the cave waiting for tomorrow.
He made dinner himself.
"There's no salt or spices, but it's cooked at least." Xia Han picked up the piece of meat and took a bite with a frown. It tasted almost as good as before and handed it to Wu Jian: "I've been eating it for more than half a year in your mouth. It's your turn to eat me this time."
The rest..."
He said half-jokingly.
"..." Wu Jian reached out and took it, she opened her mouth and took a small bite. This girl has tasted even worse things. She has picked up food and tested poison countless times, squatted on the ground and vomited countless times - just to
Leave the safe things to Xia Han.
"Why use your mouth?" Xia Han asked, obviously you can test poison without using your mouth.
Wu Jian was stunned, and she lowered her head: "This is the condition for staying with His Highness." Wu Jing, the Lord of Jade City, left this condition when he met her for the first time. Wu Jian stayed by Xia Han's side to personally review the food safety for him.
.
However...she has countless opportunities to leave.
"Why don't you leave?" Xia Han picked up another piece of meat, which tasted bitter without seasoning.
"Actually, I wanted to leave at first, but I had nowhere to go..." Wu Jian took a breath, raised her head and looked at Xia Han and smiled: "After arriving, I felt that I couldn't let His Highness stay there alone.
..."
"..."
Xia Han was speechless.
After dinner, Xia Han returned to his original appearance and fell asleep tiredly. His spellcasting during the day put a huge load on his body, and the bruised skin under his clothes had already reached the limit of magic conversion, but he kept pretending that nothing happened.
.
In the dark night, Wu Jian woke up clutching her stomach. She stared at the sleeping Xia Han for a long time in the dark night, and then staggered out. She walked out of the cave, stepped through the snow, and walked several hundred meters until she saw the black darkness on the other side.
Painted Knights.
"Amazing, your courage is commendable!" Wu Jing, who was standing at the front on horseback, praised her coldly.
Wu Jian raised his head, her cold eyes looked very nostalgic to Wu Jing: "I just don't want to die in front of him..."
Wu Jing had seen such an interesting expression on another child's face half a year ago. Perhaps, this expression was like Wu Jing's reflection in the muddy water when he was a child.
'This expression is beautiful.'
His mother, who begged in the cold and sold her sex at a low price, always praised Wu Jing's expression. However, the most pitiful woman in the world did not like her son's expression, but felt that his expression made him happy.
He lived a long, long time.
She taught Wujing what survival was, and it was precisely because he had such eyes that he was able to kill his father and brother, and occupy the throne of the city lord alone.
"Wu Jian..." Wu Jing suddenly was no longer in a hurry to kill the girl. He wanted to ask a question: "If you continue to stay by Xia Han's side, what do you want to be for him?"
Wu Jian looked at Wu Jing's eyes, which were filled with frost, looking sharply at others. Don't lie - his eyes said so.
"The key..." Wu Jian didn't think her lies could deceive Wu Jing, she smiled sadly: "His Highness is an eagle locked in a cage... I want to be the key that allows him to fly out...
.”
Her smile was beautiful, but it was a pity that Wujing didn't appreciate it: "That's it...it's such a pity that you can't stay with him like this."
He raised his hand——
"action!"
The screams woke up Xia Han. When he realized that Wu Jian had disappeared and rushed out, he found hundreds of knights charging in turns in the moonlight. They held the long swords and flew the girl's body like a toy again and again.
The blood stains were mottled.
Xia Han squatted helplessly in the cold snow. He looked at the petite body flying in the air, and her familiar black hair flying in the air like thousands of threads.
Sadness, hatred, pain, regret... everything was followed by emptiness, a suffocating emptiness... Xia Han's heart shattered with a 'pop', and was then frozen by the eternal ice.
He was brought back to the city lord's palace like a puppet.
In the frozen city, in the frozen world, there is no one inside who can make Xia Han feel warm...
In the afternoon, another maid brought Xia Han medicine: "Little princess, this is your medicine soup."
Medicinal soup?
"What's in it..." Xia Han looked at the bird head in the bowl with blank eyes.
"Where's the White Eagle!"
The maid took a spoon and blew the medicine to cool down, then handed it to Xia Han. She smiled and said, "The Lord of the City said that the eagle at your door is fat enough, so he asked us to boil it for you to drink."
Xia Han's stomach suddenly felt nauseated. He held the head of the bed and retched, but nothing came out.
"Little princess, don't you drink?"
"No...I'll drink..." Xia Han looked up, his blank eyes getting colder, and he laughed: "I know how to drink!"
————
The carriage rumbled along the morning grassland, the cold wind blew through the vines and raised green waves of white frost.
"Your Highness has turned into a heartless monster...how do you feel?"
In the carriage, Wujing tore up the information in his hand and looked at the girl opposite with a smile.
Sitting opposite him, Wu Jian, who was wearing tattered clothes, bit his lip and held his hands tightly: "Why..."
She didn't understand why Wujing treated Xia Han so cruelly.
The key to unlocking the cage - Wu Jian's answer last night did not satisfy Wu Jing, but he gave up killing her. Wu Jing asked the knights to find a similar girl and put on a good show in front of Xia Han.
And these things are just to turn Xia Han into a heartless monster?
"The so-called life is to experience pain and wipe away blood and tears in order to grow..."
Wujing did not directly answer Wujian's words, but his smile did not diminish: "You are all naughty children... It would be bad for such naughty children to have their qualifications ruined by happiness."
This is the trial he gave Xia Han, and it was also the trial he gave Wu Jian.
When Wujing was brought back to the city lord's palace from the slums as a child, his father and brothers killed his mother in front of him. Because of this, Wujing never believed that pie would fall from the sky - Chen Xi
The unicorn on the grassland did not attract him, and he would not give Wu Jian a happy pie.
The Lord of Jade City is a sick man.
"Why don't you hate me... Hate me, the person who tied thorns for you and the man you love! I look forward to the day when you come to take revenge, but before that, you have to live..."
Wujing's smile became cruel and bloody.
That night, he left Wu Jian on a ship in the port - in the form of a slave.
"Transport her to the Suzaku Continent and sell her to gentry, farmers, aristocratic children with bad conduct...anything can be done!"
Wu Jing handed over the money to the ship owner in front of Wu Jian, completing a terrible deal. He brutally tied chains on Wu Jian's hands and feet, and then lifted her up by her hair.
"Forgot to tell you..."
He made no secret of his sarcasm: "Your name is Jian, but it is a lowly and lowly person - your parents just want to turn you into a lowly person!"
Sword...cheap...
【...My name...is called Jian...】
Wu Jian was thrown on the deck. She looked at Wu Jing going away and struggled to reach out her hand. She didn't want to leave... She couldn't leave the injured boy behind... He would cry in the cage...
He can't get zi you...
However...
"This is no place for a beast like you!"
She was thrown into a cabin full of slaves by the crew, which was cold, dark, and smelly. "Girl" "It's a girl!" The men around her stretched out their dirty hands to her.
"Go away, go away!"
Wu Jian struggled with all her strength. She tore countless people's faces and bitten countless people's arms. Then she curled up in the corner and hugged her legs.
Her eyes became blood red and crazy, like a wild beast threatening outsiders in the dark...A creepy feeling enveloped the entire cabin.
"Strange, monster..."
On this day, Xia Han was not the only one who turned into a monster.
Then...
Time has accelerated its pace, and two years have passed by in a hurry.
When Xia Han was not yet nine years old, the plane gate mutated and the Emerald Empire ushered in dusk...
