Chen Qingyuan was startled at first, and then his whole body trembled slightly.
An inexplicable strange feeling surged out of my heart and spread to all parts of my body. My pupils were condensed, my hands were clenched, and my ears were ringing.
At one moment, Chen Qingyuan even thought about nodding his head in agreement.
But the next moment, his thoughts stopped and he regained his senses.
Why should the girl in red, whose origins are unknown, her strength unknown, and as noble as a fairy, want to become a Taoist companion with me?
In Chen Qingyuan's eyes, the girl in red is as clean as snow and unstained by dust. A woman like her should not have a worldly heart.
Many years ago, Chen Qingyuan thought that the girl in red's Taoist monk's words were a joke and a joke and should not be taken seriously.
Now, hearing the words of the girl in red again, if Chen Qingyuan didn't feel any strange emotions in his heart, he was definitely pretending.
He doesn't understand.
Why?
Without clarifying the reason, Chen Qingyuan would not be able to agree.
He could feel that the girl in red had no ill intentions towards him. However, he had so many doubts in his heart that he had to clear them up.
"The girl is joking, I... I am so virtuous and capable that I can become a Taoist couple with the girl."
Chen Qingyuan froze for a moment, lowering his eyebrows slightly, not looking at him, lest his soul would be rippled and out of control.
"So, you refused?"
The girl in red had already expected the answer, but there was still a look of disappointment in her eyes that was hard to catch.
He has not changed in his past life. He is dedicated to seeking the truth and never gets involved in relationships, let alone getting emotional.
"I......"
Chen Qingyuan was about to speak but stopped.
Such silence seemed to the girl in red to be a clear rejection.
In a daze, I recalled what happened a long, long time ago.
Chen Qingyuan in the first life had a level of talent that had not been seen in hundreds of thousands of years. The companions around him were also top masters, and they could have become dominant beings in any previous era.
The girl in red has been following, watching Chen Qingyuan's back. She seems to be very close, but every time the girl in red reaches out her hand, she can't catch it.
After the War of the Ancients ended, only the girl in red survived among those who participated in the war.
The ancient world of Dizhou and the Tianyuan of Northern Wilderness were formed from the ancient battlefields of the past, and the terrifying and strange battle laws still exist today.
Chen Qingyuan's remnant soul is still there, and after going through reincarnation, he slowly replenishes his soul.
All the previous reincarnations either died young or achieved nothing. Until this life, the damaged soul was completely healed and had another chance.
The girl in red had a little thought and used Taoism to quietly change Chen Qingyuan's character.
The reason for doing this is very simple: I want to become a Taoist companion with Chen Qingyuan before he recovers his memory.
In addition, I also want Chen Qingyuan to live a simpler life, unlike the Bingtuozi in the first life who was inaccessible to others.
"Same result."
The girl in red looked cold on the outside but felt sad inside, muttering to herself.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Qingyuan's face.
Fragments of memories that have been dusty for a long time slowly float out from the depths of my heart and appear before my eyes.
A long time ago, in a dark and damp dungeon.
Thousands of boys and girls were imprisoned here, awaiting their death.
This is the dungeon of the Yin Puppet Sect. Every once in a while, some children are captured from the world to refine puppets or use them as special materials. This is inhumane and extremely cruel.
In a dark corner of the dungeon, a seven-year-old girl was huddled, her body cold and trembling from time to time. She was an orphan who was accidentally captured. Her clothes were in tatters and her hair was messy.
With a "boom", the dungeon door opened, and all the children were startled.
A monk in luxurious clothes walked in and grabbed dozens of children to study new puppet techniques.
"Wow......"
Many people began to cry, calling for their parents, or begging for mercy.
The little girl in the corner kept her lips tightly closed, her face was pale, her lips were chapped, and the skin on her lips had more than ten cracks. Maybe she hadn't drank water for a long time.
The little girl wasn't afraid, but she didn't have the strength to cry. She was hungry and tired and couldn't hold on any longer.
Suddenly, there was a huge noise from the upper end of the dungeon.
"Rumble..."
The sound lasted for an hour, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the shouts of killing continued.
Thousands of children in the dungeon were so scared that they all huddled in the corner, hugging each other for warmth. Although there was no use in leaning together, it could add a sense of security to their hearts.
"Clang"
The dungeon door opens again.
The person who came down this time was not a disciple of the Yin Puppet Sect, but a young man wearing black brocade clothes.
The young man is nine feet tall, handsome and handsome.
With a snap of his fingers, the cage was shattered.
With a wave of his sleeves, a lot of food and water appeared on the ground.
The children were very scared and did not dare to come forward no matter how hungry they were. They looked timidly at the young man in black, their throats rolled and their mouths were dry.
"Eat!" the young man in black said.
"Crash..."
A brave child stepped forward, picked up the food, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth. Seeing that there was no danger, the others swarmed over.
Some small and thin children cannot fight for it, so they can only follow at the back, or even be trampled by people around them.
The crying came one after another.
The young man in black frowned and separated the group of children with a wave of his sleeves. He began to distribute the food and asked them to line up in an orderly manner without collision.
Then, the young man in black took part of the food and handed it to some children who were unable to move.
Soon he came to a little girl, and food and water were placed in front of her.
Just as the young man in black was about to turn around and leave, the little girl suddenly rushed over and grabbed the young man in black's ankles tightly.
"Um?"
The young man in black paused and looked back.
The little girl didn't focus on food, she just wanted to seize this opportunity that might change her destiny.
"Please, let me follow you!"
The little girl did not want to continue living a homeless life, nor did she want to be manipulated by others. The process of waiting for death was too painful.
Saying these words seemed to drain all the strength from her body.
She was prepared to die. If this strange man in black refused to agree and took action in anger, death would be a relief and she would not have to suffer in this world.
With a "plop" sound, the little girl fainted due to various factors.
Even though she fainted, a pair of dusty hands still grasped the trousers of the young man in black and refused to let go. Her subconscious mind was very clear, she must either die or change her destiny.
The young man in black looked down at the little girl at his feet, expressionless.
Maybe it was out of pity that I saw my reflection in the little girl, or maybe because I had been alone for many years and thought it would be nice to have company.
So, the young man in black took the little girl away.
