"This... isn't a name, is it?" It doesn't seem like a name worth saying with your head held high.
Tang Ling once again adjusted to his extremely clear boyish voice and asked.
"After I killed my mother when I was born, my father was disgusted with me and didn't give me a name." The child who called herself the Ugly Princess said, "But everyone who sees me calls me Ugly Princess."
This...sounds a bit pitiful.
As soon as Tang Ling felt sympathy in his heart, the ugly princess looked over sideways and said, "What's that expression on your face? After all, I am also a princess. Unlike you, I am just a long worm."
Tang Ling took a deep breath, and then another.
If this hadn't been in a dream, she would have been mad to death.
This is a mirage!
Do you understand mirage?
You ignorant little brat!
"But you look pretty good, you little worm." The ugly princess sneered, "But every time I see you, you only wear a light veil. Are you trying to seduce someone? Little Lang Hoozi."
Tang Ling's face was expressionless.
Why doesn't this dream end?
The ugly princess stopped sneering and suddenly said: "Why?"
"Why?" Tang Ling frowned.
"Why don't you laugh at me?" Confusion appeared on the face of the ugly princess, "Growing up, as long as I imitate the words of people in the cold palace, they will laugh, and they will not hit me when I smile."
Tang Ling was silent.
She is still a princess in the cold palace.
It sounds very pitiful.
"When I arrived at Xuwu Mountain, I imitated the tone of Empress Leng Gong. I called the men a dog slave, the women I called a slave, and the old people I called an old man... Later, both men and women started beating me."
Tang Ling: "..." It's hard not to take action.
"These Taoist priests like to call me a fool, a monster, and a disaster star, so my father sent me here." The ugly princess said disdainfully, "Nonsense! Even the great witch said that I have a strong talent for alchemy, etc.
After I succeed in my cultivation, I will go back and help my father make elixirs, and my father will never be tired of me again!"
Alchemy, great witch?
Tang Ling's eyelids twitched.
At this point, the ugly princess turned into an extremely indifferent face.
"They think I'm stupid, but actually I know everything. I've seen too many eyes in the palace. Have those idiots forgotten that I'm still a princess? How dare they beat me until I can't get up?
Don’t give up!”
Yes, the unloved princess.
Tang Ling sighed.
Even though he is a character in a dream, I still feel a little pitiful.
"Does it hurt?" she asked.
The ugly princess suddenly fell silent. She looked at Tang Ling for a long time, and her expression suddenly turned mad. "Humph, stupid human being, wait until the ancient power in my body is released, and I will wait to die!"
Tang Ling turned around speechlessly, wanting to see if he could wake up after entering the sea water.
The ugly princess stood up and said, "Where are you going!"
Tang Ling had already dived into the bottom of the sea, and suddenly felt a lightness in his body. Then he pulled away from the mirage's body and floated in the air.
By the way, that's how I came down from above just now.
Can you wake up by flying up?
Tang Ling was about to leave when a familiar "meow" suddenly sounded in his ears.
Her upward movement stalled, and she suddenly looked back.
I saw a jet-black cat emerging from the bushes next to the beach. It stared at a pair of green eyes and walked gracefully. A small bell with silver engraved words on its neck rang softly.
When the ugly princess heard the noise, she turned around, limped a little, and approached the cat with extremely uncoordinated limbs. Her expression was indifferent.
"It was just an imitation. Look at that stupid long insect. Sure enough, I didn't see the essence of it."
As she spoke, she touched the cat's head. The cat narrowed its eyes in comfort and kept rubbing the ugly princess's hand.
"Right? Xiao Hei." The ugly princess' voice sounded a little disappointed, "Unfortunately, I haven't asked his name yet."
Tang Ling's heart had long been filled with turmoil.
That black cat, that bell.
Suddenly, countless voices sounded in my memory.
——Sansan, does this bell look good?
——Princess, does a stray cat need such a beautiful bell?
——Get out! Lock up this damn cat with this disaster star!
——Your Majesty, I looked at the sky at night and saw dark clouds covering the moon, and a disaster star falling from the southeast. I suspect that someone other than cause and effect entered the world, and I am afraid it will cause chaos in this world!
This is... the memory fragment that floated over after the memory was triggered by the memory anchor last time!
Tang Ling suddenly woke up.
This is not a dream.
And the ugly princess I saw in my dream last time was not a dream!
It's the contents of Xiao Hei's memory fragments.
However, when she reacted and wanted to eagerly watch the next development again, she was shaken awake by a huge force.
"Tang Ling! Tang Ling!"
Oh my god, who is this...with such strong hands?
Tang Ling felt that if she didn't wake up, she would be knocked unconscious.
She struggled to open her eyelids, opening a crack with difficulty, and then suddenly opened them.
A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old in green clothes was holding her shoulders with both hands and shaking violently.
It was from last night...
"Stop, stop, stop..." Tang Ling hurriedly stopped him. As soon as the words came out, he found that his voice was a little hoarse and his throat was very dry.
"You're awake!" Jun Yiyi's hair was disheveled, her face was as fierce as last night, and she looked like she was angry when she got up.
Jun Fang was more gentle, with her hair loose and only her middle coat on. She thoughtfully asked the maid to bring a glass of water and handed it to Tang Ling, "Is Miss Tang having a nightmare in her sleep? She keeps shouting."
"Yes, it scared me and sister to death!" Jun Yiyi glanced at Tang Ling, "It's so early in the morning, it disturbs people's dreams."
"Yiyi." Jun Fang glanced at Jun Yiyi.
Jun Yiyi curled her lips and said, "I'm going to wash up."
Then he left reluctantly.
Tang Ling drank a glass of water, but still felt thirsty, "I'm sorry for waking you up."
"Nothing, it's time to get up." Jun Fang smiled reassuringly.
"Where are we? There's still an hour left before the escort monk informs you!" Jun Yiyi came over to interrupt after washing, "You've been shouting for a long time, what are you dreaming about? If it's a nightmare, you have to tell it before sunrise, otherwise
It will come true.”
"This is a fabrication made by the wet nurse at home to deceive the child. Do you believe it?" Jun Fang glared at Jun Yiyi, then looked at Tang Ling, took the handkerchief he asked the maid to take and wiped the cold sweat from Tang Ling's forehead. "If you feel uncomfortable,
Have a drink of water again, if you don’t want to say anything, don’t say it.”
Tang Ling smiled at her gratefully, thinking that these two sisters really had two different personalities.
Although Junfang is younger than herself, she does look like an older sister.
She all wants to have such a sister.
"What did I shout?" Tang Ling felt that his hoarse voice must have been caused by talking in his sleep.
Same thing last time.
When I was in Yunlaiju, I just dreamed of Nangong Xun, and I sang a "Requiem" in front of the telescope without knowing anything.
This time he was talking in his sleep again.
After all, Xiao Hei is a dream demon, and every time she recalls the memory fragments, she will make a fool of herself in her dreams.
"It should be 'Meng San'." Jun Fang frowned and thought for a while.
"It's 'Meng San'!" Jun Yiyi yelled at the sink, "so loud and with clear words."
Meng San?
Tang Ling recalled that at the end of his memory, the ugly princess regretted not being able to ask the name of the mirage.
At that time, she recalled this memory from the perspective of a mirage.
Could this be the name of the mirage?
Tang Ling felt that this name was strangely familiar.
Maybe it's because of Xiao Hei.
But...since it is Xiao Hei's memory, why does she start recalling it from a mirage perspective?
Instead of the little black guy next to the ugly princess just now?
Moreover, the little black one seemed different from the previous memory.
How could Xiao Hei, who is so indifferent, make such intimate gestures of rubbing against a human being?
It's really hard to figure out.
"Miss Tang?" Seeing that Tang Ling was in a trance again, Jun Fang thought she was stunned by the nightmare, so she quickly called out twice.
Tang Ling was pulled back to his senses, "It's okay, it's okay, just call me Tang Ling."
Jun Fang was also too polite, which was completely different from Jun Yiyi. When he called her "Tang Ling" just now, her ears were still buzzing.
"Then...can I call you Ling'er?" Jun Fang said with a slight blush.
