Chapter 14: Blood
At dusk, the shadow had almost sent them out of this swamp of death, Jiuyue had not yet reacted from the situation just now, her thoughts were still a little sluggish, she looked at her right hand in a daze, her heart was at a loss, thinking back to what the shadow told her, she felt more and more confused about her life experience.

What happened a thousand years ago? Why did she have such a huge and dangerous pet? She didn't feel that she had any preference for snakes, or was she a giant python? Changsheng said that there was no afterlife in this world because she no longer had a memory when she was reincarnated, but just because she didn't remember this memory didn't mean that this memory didn't exist, so was it still her past life, her past?
Jiuyue was still distracted, but she was startled by the scarlet arc halo that suddenly appeared on her right hand, and then she heard the hoarse female voice of the giant python say to her, "Master, the contract of the phantom beast has been reopened on your new body, and you can summon the shadow at any time in the future." β
After saying this, the shadow did not reluctantly turn around and winded towards the depths of the swamp, leaving a frightened Jiuyue looking at its departing back in a daze and confusion.
As if she suddenly thought of something, she turned around in horror and looked at Bo Ying and Cangxuan on the side, but found that their expressions were not different, as if they hadn't heard what the giant python said to her, could it be that the voice of the giant python was only heard by her?
What surprised Jiu Yue the most was that they had come out of this death swamp and Bo Ying and Cang Xuan had no intention of leaving, Bo Ying said that he was just going to the Spirit Binding Clan, and he was in the same direction as them, Cang Xuan directly said that he wanted to send Jiu Yue to Buju Mountain, but she didn't know if Jiu Yue was too careful, she always felt that after coming out of the death swamp, Bo Ying looked at her a little strangely...... It always seems to feel a little cold.
Jiuyue really felt embarrassed to stay with the two of them at the same time, but she couldn't say anything, because both of them had saved her life when she was on the line of life and death, so she had to smile and try to look as normal as possible.
But the next moment, her smile couldn't be contained, because she heard that Bo Ying and Cang Xuan seemed to be brothers.
"What are you doing here?" Cang Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Bo Ying impatiently.
"Ah Xuan, is this the attitude you should have when you see your brother?" Bo Ying responded to him coldly.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that you are now the king of the Xuan Ming clan, the shelf has become a lot bigger, what, I should have a brother?" Cang Xuan said provocatively.
Bo Ying looked at Cang Xuan indifferently, "Ah Xuan, I haven't seen you for so many years, you are still so naΓ―ve." β
Cang Xuan's eyes became cold, "Childish, I'm not very happy to be said by you like this!" Suddenly, Cang Xuan took out the long sword on his waist and swung it like Bo Ying, and the sword body was suddenly injected with raging flames by Cang Xuan, and the temperature around him suddenly rose a lot.
I saw that the water vapor in Bo Ying's hand instantly condensed into a long soft whip, and the soft whip whipped on the ground and raised dust in the sky, he looked at Cang Xuan with a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth, "How did you get the name of the god of war? Where did you go with that Devil May Cry? Where did you pick up this broken sword?"
Seeing Bo Ying looking at him condescendingly in mid-air without hurry, Cang Xuan's body exuded bursts of murderous aura, "I can defeat you with anything, do you think you are powerful? Even a little snake can fight so hard, even Ah Yue can't protect it, why do you say me?"
Jiuyue stood quietly and watched their instantaneous fight, and the fact that the two of them were brothers kept echoing in her mind.
From Jiuyue's point of view, Bo Ying seemed to have the upper hand, as if she was disciplining her disobedient fire dragon, which seemed to make Jiu Yue feel like laughing, but she didn't dare to laugh, because Jiu Yue felt that Cang Xuan was angry and seemed to be partly blaming Bo Ying for not taking a good look at her...... In fact, you really can't blame Bo Ying, after all, she is indeed a big burden, if it weren't for her, Bo Ying wouldn't be so struggling.
The most taboo thing in the battle is distraction, she is there, and it is quite reasonable that Bo Ying can't concentrate on hitting the shadow.
"If you continue to fight, it will be dark. Jiu Yue helplessly looked at the two who were inseparable in mid-air, unable to understand why they had to fight first as soon as they met to show friendship, since they were brothers?
Obviously they were concentrating on the fight, no one paid attention to her at all, Jiuyue reluctantly turned around and walked in the direction of Zitong Town in the west, the sun happened to be not in the mountains, the remnant sun was like blood, like blood and remnant sun, in Jiuyue's memory, the red sky reflected by the sunset was not beautiful at all, only made her feel indescribably desolate.
When Jiu Yue had already walked far away, Cang Xuan and Bo Ying quickly returned to her side, the speed was so good, why did they walk? Isn't it better to fly every day, Jiu Yue thought helplessly.
Jiuyue from Zitong Town to Wuyou Swamp is a whole night's road, seeing that the sky is getting dark, there are no villages nearby, except for the barren is a barren, because Jiuyue is still injured and feels very tired, it is proposed to rest on the spot for a night and get up and hurry tomorrow.
It was really a very convenient thing to have Cang Xuan lighting a fire, the three of them each sat on one side of the fire, Bo Ying and Cang Xuan stopped talking since just now, Jiu Yue felt that the atmosphere was really embarrassing.
The two of them are dressed in red and white, just like the temperament of the two of them, one is flamboyant and the other is indifferent, although they both have a good-looking face, but they don't look very similar, and they really can't imagine that the two of them are brothers.
"That...... Are you hungry?" Jiu Yue said without words, and she was indeed a little hungry.
"Ah Yue, wait a minute......" Cang Xuan got up after speaking, and quickly grabbed a fat hare that Jiu Yue might not be able to hold around his arms in a tree hole not far away.
His speed was so fast that Jiu Yue couldn't close his mouth in surprise, "...... How do you know which tree hole has a rabbit in it?" Is Cang Xuan's judgment based on instinct, just like his intuition in choosing the path? Jiu Yue felt that he couldn't keep up with his rhythm.
Jiuyue looked at the rabbit in front of him stupidly for a moment, and before he could say anything, he saw Bo Ying sitting there next to him and threw out a whip without getting up, and when the whip was withdrawn, a huge brown bird fell from the ground, which was a whole circle larger than Cangxuan's hare......
Because of the death swamp, there are no humans living nearby, so the animals in this vicinity are all extremely large, Cang Xuan's face became a little ugly, turned around and stared at the black rhino group who was drinking water by the lake in the distance, Jiu Yue secretly said in his heart, and grabbed Cang Xuan's right hand to stop his impulsive desire to hunt.
Cang Xuan lowered his head and looked at the palm that was suddenly held by Jiuyue, his face suddenly eased a lot, and he looked at Jiuyue with a heavy gaze, but saw Jiuyue's hippie smile, "This bird and this rabbit are enough for us to eat, can't you let other animals live longer?"
I saw Cang Xuan looking at her with a smile in his eyes, "You feel sorry for them, but I only feel sorry for you." β
The man's gaze made Jiuyue's heart tighten slightly, and he hurriedly let go of the hand he was holding Cangxuan, "How can I feel distressed, you killed other people, and you don't eat others, don't you think you are sorry for others?." β
Said so, but the problem of food is much easier to solve than Jiu Yue imagined, after all, it is a good thing, Cang Xuan stepped aside to deal with the hunted animals, but Bo Ying sat quietly by the fire, as if because the prey he hunted was bigger, so he didn't have to do the rest of the trivial work.
"Yue'er, how did you and Ah Xuan meet?" Bo Ying said lightly, accompanied by his unique gentle and somewhat detached voice.
Jiuyue was slightly stunned, how did she know him? She never seemed to choose to know him, she seemed to be forced to know him, Jiuyue still remembered the first time she saw Cangxuan, at that time...... In the misty darkness of the night, he rode on a huge beast and slashed at other people's heads with his sword, and blood kept flowing down the blade...... Smiled at her like a demon...... There is nothing aesthetic at all about such an acquaintance...... Jiuyue didn't really want to reminisce......
"We ...... The acquaintance was particularly accidental. Jiuyue carefully looked for the words.
"He's like...... I care about you a lot. Bo Ying slowly raised her eyes to look at Jiuyue, and said casually.
"He felt guilty. Jiuyue felt that Cang Xuan Xu felt guilty for messing up her life, but in fact, she didn't have to get married, she was quite happy, this comparison, she would settle it with him, right? But he saved her twice, she only saved him once, and she seemed to owe him a life, but wasn't he the one who put her in danger?
Bo Ying shook his head gently, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "How could he have such an emotion of guilt?" Then he unconsciously turned the white jade wrench on the thumb of his right hand, and his indifferent expression immediately became a little deeper, "If you die, he will be sad, right?"
ββ¦β¦ I'm ...... with him I don't know ...... so well" Jiuyue always feels bad when she thinks of the word death, to say that there are still people in this world who will be sad because of her death? Probably only Honglian, right? I don't know how she is doing now?
Jiuyue raised her head and looked at the stars that were gradually revealing in the increasingly thick sky, when she was in the swamp, she didn't feel how beautiful she looked because she was afraid, and at this moment, in the quiet and peace of the three of them, the misty light intertwined by the stars in the sky was so beautiful that she was intoxicated.
The night breeze was light, Jiuyue felt that she was as small as the stars in the sky, and she worked very hard to bloom her faint light, but one day, maybe because she was too hard, she cut through the dark and lonely night sky, and disappeared in a flash, as if she had never existed.
The rabbit meat on the fire was roasted and bubbling with oil, Jiuyue's stomach was screamed by the greedy 'goo rumbling', Cang Xuan tore off a rabbit leg that had been tested and brought it directly to Jiuyue's mouth, she looked at him in wonder, thinking that she was crippled with one hand, but not two, and had not lost her basic ability to survive.
So she quickly took the rabbit leg in Cang Xuan's hand with her left hand, to show that she could do it herself without bothering him, but Cang Xuan was not angry, and looked at her with a smile, it was also strange, when did this man become so gentle.
After eating, he fell into a strange silence, Cang Xuan sat by the fire on Jiuyue's left, Bo Ying sat on the right, the atmosphere fell into an awkward silence, Jiuyue directly wanted to close her eyes and sleep until tomorrow.
"By the way, why didn't your beast come?"
"I left it in Zitong Town, it can't enter this swamp. Cangxuan Jian raised his eyebrows slightly, "But that guy misses you a lot, and I don't know what you fed it when I was unconscious?"
"Isn't it?it likes me?" Jiu Yue looked at Cang Xuan excitedly, as if she always fit the taste of this giant beast.
"Yue'er is so beautiful, anyone who sees it will love it, let alone those animals. Bo Ying said this coldly, which made Jiuyue not surprised, was he praising himself? Why do you think it is so weird.
Bo Ying stared at the cangxuan eyes with heavy eyes, "Did you say?"
Cang Xuan frowned slightly, but did not answer, just looked at Jiuyue and asked softly, "Ah Yue...... Does the wound still hurt?"
Jiuyue shook her head gently, these two brothers didn't know what was going on, she really didn't want to be mixed with them, so she simply closed her eyes and leaned against the big tree behind her to sleep, she tried her best, she didn't want to find a topic to chat anymore, she wanted to sleep.
Heaven does not fulfill people's wishes, Jiuyue is asleep, but she has a nightmare, she dreamed that the giant python told her that it recognized the wrong person, and kept chasing her to let her return the dragon's blood grass to it, Jiuyue ran and ran, accidentally fell into the water entwined with aquatic plants, this time no one saved her, she watched herself slowly sink into the dark abyss, the world became dark, but when she sank to the bottom of the darkest abyss, she saw a woman standing in front of her with her back to her, the woman slowly turned around, and smiled at her evilly, that face... β¦ It was Jiuyue's own face!
Jiuyue woke up from her dream in a cold sweat, the fire in front of her was still crackling, the night was very quiet, surrounded by the sound of insects and birds, she felt that her head was a little groggy and very uncomfortable, her whole body was sore and weak, and her body felt a little cold, and suddenly a big hand touched her forehead.
Cang Xuan fed Jiu Yue some water, and then let her lean on her body, Jiu Yue gradually felt less uncomfortable, but still confused, she knew in a trance that she was leaning on Cang Xuan's lap, and she didn't feel anything wrong, but felt a sense of security, just slowly moved her body and changed to a more comfortable position.
"You're a little girl...... How can you be so strong?...... DID YOU KNOW...... How worried do you worry me?" he whispered to her, his fingers slowly running over the hair around her ear.
