CHAPTER XVIII

Chongming leaned over like a ghost, one hand turned into a golden wing, covering my head, but he himself was drenched in the rain, and I hugged him, tears in my eyes.

"Humans are really stupid, why don't you go in and cry in the heavy rain?" Shigeaki didn't seem to mind my hugging him.

"I..."

Chongming didn't look at me, but looked ahead, as if he was talking to me, and as if talking to himself, "How can life be smooth sailing." ”

I was a little surprised that Shigeaki would say such a thing, and looked up at him in disbelief, but because it was obscured by the wings, I couldn't quite see his expression clearly. After a long time, he suddenly asked me, "Eldest sister said, you secretly let the fox run away today?"

I chuckled in my heart, I didn't expect that what I said to Hu Piaopiao so deliberately in a low voice would still be heard by Sinian, "I, I'm just..."

"Thank you. Chongming said suddenly, my heart was sour, and I slowly let go of the hand holding him. He actually thanked me for the fox, and his brows suddenly frowned, but he didn't want to be found out, so he could only use his nails to dig into his palms. Then the two of us fell silent together.

Raindrops hit his wings, ping-pong sounded. But his body was very warm, he didn't move, and I just sat there, not wanting to leave, as if if I was going to lose this man forever.

"You..."

"I..."

Chongming and I spoke at the same time, and Chongming smiled indifferently, "What do you want to say?" Actually, I finally mustered up the courage to ask about the matter between him and Hu Piaopiao, but when he asked me this, I had to change my words, "Are you cold?" He said, "No." I sighed and replied, "I'm not cold." Then there was silence. After a long time, Chongming coughed, "Do you want to hear the story?" I subconsciously sat up straight and nodded, "Hmm." ”

Chongming first exhaled heavily, adjusted his breathing, and then asked me, "Haven't you ever wondered why I don't have a name?"

I looked at him with wide eyes, "Isn't that your name?"

Chongming smiled, "You are stupid! I am Chongming Bird, how can my name be Chongming? Just like the eldest sister, she was originally a flower on the other side, and she was not called the other side. I hadn't thought of this before, so I couldn't help but pull my wings to see his face, Shigeaki pressed my head hard with his wings, "Don't move!" I sat down obediently, "So what's your original name?" Shigeaki sighed, "It doesn't matter." "I can't help but wonder, "Why?" Shigeaki was silent for a moment, "because I made a big mistake, and the patriarch took my name away. I didn't understand that the name could be taken away, so I asked him what kind of mistake he had made.

Chong Ming cleared his throat and said, "There are ancient books, and Yao has reigned for seventy years...... There is a country of support, a bird of dedication, a pair of eyes, words and eyes. It looks like a chicken, and it sings like a phoenix. When the feathers are removed, the flesh flies. It can fight the fierce beasts, tigers and wolves, so that the demons and the evil cannot be harmed. And with the anointment, or a year old, or a few years old. The people of the country do not sweep the door, in order to hope for the Ming set. Before it arrived, the people of the country either carved wood or cast gold, in the shape of this bird. If it is placed between the portals, it will be glamorous and ugly, and it will naturally retreat. I am proud to have been born into such a noble family. In fact, the year I was born, the world has long passed the time when demons are rampant, and some demon beasts have surrendered to the command of the Nine Infants, and they have been secretly active, looking for the true soul of the young master, and they are extremely secretive when they come out to move. Over the years, Jiuying has been hiding his whereabouts and recuperating. The other part was imprisoned in Hitomi Town by the young master using spells. Many large families like us have completely taken on human form, coexisting peacefully with human beings, and in fact protecting human beings. "This reminds me of what Shigeaki said about their family owning a number of companies in human society, and that he himself is my immediate boss.

"I was fifteen years old. The patriarch brought a dozen of us boys to meet the young master. The young master asked each person to draw a jade lot, and finally left me. Since then, I have stayed with the young master. It is a supreme honor. In order to fight against the Nine Infants, who rise at any time, each big family will send the best descendants of the family to the young master every once in a while. "I thought to myself that this model was a bit like military service!

"I have always followed the orders of the young master, and I did not dare to disobey in the slightest, until I met her. Shigemei's eyes softened, as if thoughtful. I blurted out, "Is it Fox Piaopiao?" and he nodded.

In those years, babies disappeared one after another in the world, and the young master realized that this seemed to be related to the nine infants, and she calculated that her true soul had been reincarnated again. But for other reasons, the young master couldn't sense the location of the true soul. In order to find out the facts, the young master sealed the Chongming Bird Soul in my body and filled it with the soul of a wolf demon. I also use the pseudonym Zhen Ming, and I am on the edge of the Nine Babies force every day. I made it look like I was expelled by the young master.,After a few years of hidden life.,Finally gained the trust of a woman named Ruolan.。 However, this Ruolan's level was too low, and she couldn't reach the center of the Nine Infants' rights at all, so I decided to take a risk. I found out that Ruolan directly belonged to the rule of a fox clan, and one of the people that Jiuying trusted was the princess of the fox clan, Hu Piaopiao. But at that time, my identity was just a lone wolf, and how to successfully contact the fox Piaopiao was a rather tricky problem. Shigeaki said this, as if he had touched something, and his voice trembled extremely violently, "I, I," he gritted his teeth, "went to steal a dozen babies, and on the way to the elaborate chance encounter, I pretended to be a pious admirer and offered those babies with both hands." However," Chongming seemed to recall the good things and smiled tenderly, "Piao Piao kicked me to the ground, and she scolded me for cultivating into a human form for nothing, but without a trace of humanity." I was completely stunned, this is clearly not the line that Jiuying's cronies should have. Seeing that there was no one around, she put the baby away with her sleeve, grabbed me by the collar and left. I asked her what she was going to do, and she didn't answer, until we reached the human realm, that she let go of my hand and ordered me to return the children. ”

"She even asked you to pay it back?" I interjected.

Chongming nodded, "Well, the two of us pretended to be medical staff and returned the children to the hospital one by one." For fear of misleading the child's belonging, she also used her spiritual power to find out the child's birth date and parents. "I remembered the two times I saw Fox Piaopiao, and her style was indeed not as vicious as she imagined. On the contrary, she seems to have a lot of helplessness and reluctance.

"However, when we were about to return the last child, the young master's people noticed the fluctuation of spiritual power. She and I immediately took the baby to hide from the attack of the young master's subordinates. Because I didn't want to hurt the young master's people, and Piao Piao also didn't want to fight, so we suffered a lot in this battle. Suddenly, the baby in the fluttering sleeves was thrown out because of the excessive fluctuations, and she was in a hurry to pick it up, but was attacked by the other party. I didn't want my hard-won plan to fall short, so I had to fight back. During the battle, the lone wolf soul in my body suddenly lost control and killed the man by mistake. ”

My eyes widened, "You killed the young master's people?"

Chongming also sighed helplessly, "At that time, I was completely delirious, and when I calmed down, I was already lying on a broken log with Piaopiao, floating in the sea." It was the first time I had looked so closely into her face. Then I realized that she was very young, much younger than me. Although there is a shadow of adulthood between the eyebrows, there is still childishness. I don't understand why she is still so young, and she has to work for the demon of the Nine Infants. At this age, it's clear that he's still under the protection of his parents. Then, her lips moved slightly, and I leaned over to listen, and saw that she was saying that the water was too cold for the child to stand it. At that moment, I knew I was in love with her. I bit the tip of my tongue, broke the young master's spell, and released my true body. All the way to a nearby island. As soon as I picked up the fire, I released the child to warm her up, and I healed Piao Piao. The moment she opened her eyes, she also recognized my identity. Nothing needs to be explained, we all know it. However, neither of us tacitly agreed that either of us would say it explicitly. It was really my happiest time. She and I are like a retired couple, we fish together during the day, pick wild fruits, and watch the stars together at night. We are completely like human beings and absolutely do not use spiritual powers. She doesn't want to be found by Jiuying, and I don't want to be discovered by the young master. Until one day, the child, sick. Chongming folded his wings, and I realized that the rain had stopped at some point. He also walked across from me and crouched down. My body suddenly moved away from his warmth, and a cold wind blew into my bone marrow in an instant.

"The child seemed to be very sick and without warning. Neither of us had such experience and had no idea what to do, but later, Piao Piao told me that her true blood could heal her. At that time, I didn't know why I was dizzy, I didn't want her to do this! Because once she showed her true body, she would be aware of the specific location of the spiritual power fluctuation by other demon beasts! In that case, me and her..."Chongming sighed, and I also looked at him sympathetically, sure enough, in love, whether it is a human or a god, it is selfish.

"I said that human life is fragile, even if you save her this time, she will never escape the fate of reincarnation! Piao Piao ignored me, I stopped her loudly, I said, you show your true body, we can never be together again! Piao Piao cried, she said, do you know why Jiu Ying trusts her so much? That's because the lives of their whole clan are in Jiu Ying's hands! She has lived a life of separation from her parents since she was a child, and she doesn't want this child to be like her, who has not seen her parents and died before she has tasted human affection. Then, she revealed herself, biting her wrist and dripping blood into the child's mouth. ”

I felt sad for a while, Hu Piaopiao was so pitiful, for the sake of her family, for the sake of this child, she gave up her love like this.

Soon, a blue bird felt her spiritual power and came to the island. The blue bird and Piao Piao established a heart spell, which was a spell somewhat similar to the Torch Bird Gu. This is a way for every large family to form a subordinate cronies. Although the names are different, they are the same. Piao Piao handed over the child to her and told her that she must ensure that she returns safely to the human world. But at this time, the people of the Nine Babies arrived!"

My heart trembled, and I felt that something bad was about to happen, "That person is not my opponent, but in order not to be suspected, I implied that she attacked me." Originally, my plan was to take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of her slap and run away with the baby in my arms, but... The truth is... I didn't expect that Jiu Ying had a subordinate hiding in the shadows, and while I was fighting with Piao Piao, that person plotted against me from behind! I don't know what happened after that, until I woke up again, I was rescued by someone of the same clan. Because, in the mission, I changed the plan without authorization, and there was a plot of mutilating human lives and eloping with Piao Piao, so I was taken away by the patriarch as a punishment, at that time, it was still the young master as a guarantee, otherwise, my life would have been gone a long time ago. ”

Chongming patted his pants and stood up, "Go back, I'm hungry." ”
