After dark, the mountain was a little quiet, with only a few occasional cries of insects.
The winged monster talked for a long time, and suddenly laughed in a hoarse voice. At the same time, he raised his wings and jumped from the place where he was standing to the branch closer to the cherry blossom stream.
"I know, you are actually waiting for the Moon God of Fungus, right?"
——————————————
"Why? Why? Why Why Why!!!"
The originally green pond water turned into a turbid color, and the waves surging on the stone bridge, which broke into cracks in just a moment.
The sky was blocked tightly by the demonic aura in the sky, and this area seemed to have entered the deepest night in an instant.
The demonic wind roared and rolled up the trees in the mountains. The sound of the wind mixed with the crying made Qiao Xi suddenly unable to move.
"I've been waiting for a long time, but you haven't come back!"
"Why abandon me?"
"If I were strong enough, would I be able to keep up with you?"
"It's so cold...I'm so cold, Lord Fengyue God."
"I don't want it, nor do I want it."
"It's so cold in the water. Lord Fengyue God, come here to accompany me."
"Never leave, just stay with me like this!"
——————————————
How happy I was when I lived together in the shrine at that time, how desperate I was when I found out that I was abandoned.
Some people learn to be tolerant while waiting, while others become demons while waiting.
——————————————
If a monster told Yingliu that she was abandoned when she was waiting at the beginning, Yingliu would definitely not believe it, and she would even laugh at the other party fiercely.
——How could a gentle god like Lord Fengyue God abandon himself?
But she had been waiting for too long, and she had gradually begun to feel worried. At this time, someone told her that you were abandoned, and she unconsciously believed it.
It’s like you have been guarding a flower and wanting to wait for it to bloom. You waited and waited for a long time but didn’t bloom. At this time, someone told you that this plant will not bloom.
——Even if you don’t want to believe it yourself, you can’t help but doubt it.
Could this plant really not bloom, right?
Otherwise, why hasn't it bloomed for so long?
At this time, the cherry blossoms seemed to be waiting for the flower that had not bloomed. After someone else said this, they began to think randomly.
——Even if Jiaotu’s memory has been passed down for thousands of years, Yingliu was still just a cub who had never experienced anything. She couldn’t tell the truth about the other person’s words, but she couldn’t help but feel panic.
——Did Lord Fengyue God abandon himself?
He and everyone in the shrine have left here, right?
Otherwise, why wouldn't there be monsters telling me?
Do they want to do it themselves?
Do you think you're too annoyed?
"You are waiting for the Fengyue God to come back, right?"
"He won't come back, he doesn't want you anymore."
"You're too weak."
The winged bird monster said this as if she was gloating, and then she saw Yingliu suddenly raise her head.
The girl of five or six years old has delicate eyebrows and eyes that can be painted, and her blue eyes that are like the sea dripped ink at this moment.
"Now, if I become strong, will he not abandon me?"
The bird demon was stunned by Ying Liu's sudden change of breath, and then became a little excited.
He screamed excitedly.
"Of course! If you become strong, you can keep that beautiful Moon God by your side!"
"I want to be strong..."
Ying Liu opened her eyes wide and murmured:
"How can we become strong... so strong that we can not be abandoned."
"I can help you."
"good."
"So, in exchange..."
——————————————
Qiao Xi saw Yingliu's memory.
When everyone in the shrine was still together, there were warm, luminous pieces of memory, and later, large and dark, bloody memories struggling in the mud.
He couldn't help but hold the folding fan in his hand tightly, and all the emotions he had imagined before became difficult at this moment.
"no……"
"It's not like this..."
He explained weakly.
But Sakura, who was in a crazy state, probably didn't want to hear it at all.
——Only, Qiao Xi was not here when she wanted to hear it, but now Qiao Xi is back, she no longer wants to hear it.
"It's too late...it's already too late, Lord Fengyue God."
The strong wind lifted the waves up, and the cherry blossoms were on the waves, showing a crying and laughing expression towards Qiao Xi on the stone bridge.
She is now an adult monster.
She looked like a pretty girl in her teenage appearance, with long blue hair rolled up behind her, wearing shell-shaped decorations, wearing small sky-blue sleeves, and her long fish tail was covered under the hem of the skirt. She sat in the clam shell held up by the waves, elegantly as if the gentlest Yamato Shikako.
Qiao Xi looked up at her.
"I am a monster deep in the sea, for the Jiaotu and Cherry blossoms, Lord Fengyue Shen, come on."
The girl in the water splashed smiled and controlled the pool water soaked with venom to rush towards Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi's fingers tightened again and again, but in the end he just stepped back.
——Not able to do it.
He had no way to go to Yingluo.
He picked her up since she was a cub and spent countless days and nights with her. At that time, Jiuton even joked that Qiao Xi was like raising a daughter.
——How could he have taken action with such an existence?
After a few times, when he noticed Qiao Xi's concession, the cherry blossoms in the water laughed.
"Oh, this won't work, Lord Fengyue God."
Her voice drifted and sometimes far away, saying something similar to sarcastic without any emotion.
"The water in the pond will surge down the mountain. It should be where humans live, right?"
"Well, it's said that Lord Fengyue God likes humans very much, so..."
“How to choose?”
"Do you watch those humans die or..."
——Why did you kill me?
Lord Fengyue God...
"I am a monster in the deep sea, for the Jiaotu and Cherry blossoms, Lord Fengyue God, come..."
——Kill me!
...
Qiao Xi opened her eyes wide and looked at Yingliu, who was weakly falling from the air in shock.
The light green clam shell splashed a handful of water in the water and then sank. Qiao Xi caught the falling fishtail girl.
"you……"
——It can be avoided clearly.
“Mr. Fengyue…”
The girl smiled slightly and interrupted Qiao Xi's words to say.
"Mr. Fengyue, can you help me tie my hair again?"
"……Can."
--sure.
Qiao Xi held Ying Liu's hand tightly, and her clothes and hair were soaked in water, looking very embarrassed.
He gently moved the girl's hair that was wet in strands on her cheeks, dried it with demonic force, then tied it up little by little from the end of her hair, and finally fixed it to her ear with a clip of a shell - just like he did it countless times a long time ago.
