Chapter 207

Ao Ling sent the Nuliang carp companion out of the Yellow Spring and handed it over to the youkai who had been waiting at the entrance of the Izumo Yellow Spring for a long time.

The man who came to meet Nu Liang was a very important subordinate of Nu Liang Slippery Scoop, and Ao Ling had seen the face of this monster when he was fighting the feathered fox in Kyoto.

Ao Ling put down the little slippery ghost in his arms and looked at the monster with a straight face.

It wasn't until Nu Liang Carp shouted "Bull Ghost" that Ao Ling reacted.

The bull ghost nodded lightly to Ao Ling, "Lord Ling, thank you for taking care of my young master." ”

Ao Ling shook his head, indicating that it was all a trivial matter.

The cow ghost and Ao Ling are not familiar with each other, and after a cursory politeness, he led the slave carp companion out of Izumo, which is full of gods.

The black-haired monster glanced at the rabbit monsters who were quietly grazing around him, and turned back to the Yellow Spring.

King Macang Ye sensed the departure of Ao Ling's breath and returned, took out the eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade that had been put away and put it back on, and got a chance to breathe in the continuous darkness.

Ao Ling pursed his lips when he saw the scars all over his body.

The revenant of the Onmyoji took out a talisman seal, and Ao Ling remembered that it seemed to be the talisman seal that the King of Macang Ye used to carry his belongings.

King Macang Ye seemed to be rummaging for something, and after a long time, he sighed, "The wound medicine has run out." ”

Ao Ling looked at the darkness around him, the number of puppets hidden in the darkness had decreased a lot, and some of them were still some small monsters that couldn't have much impact on King Macang Ye - probably because they strayed into this darkness and were swallowed up in an instant.

Ao Ling still remembered the first time he came to Huangquan and asked what happened after the Hell of the Yellow Springs creature, and the other party's frightened appearance.

"I think you still have a lot of healing sigils." Ao Ling said.

King Macang Ye paused slightly, and a slight smile appeared on his face with a few small scars, "I thought Ling would be anxious and want to rush in to deliver medicine to me." ”

Ao Ling was stunned - if he was really sure that he could enter the depths where King Macang Ye was, he would have gone a long time ago.

"Has Ling also reached the stage of the 'Seven Year Itch'?" The soul of the Onmyoji put together the talisman with the words "healing" and "water" written on it, and after applying spiritual power, he wiped the wounds on his body with the healing water.

He complained casually, his face pale from the filth of his wounds.

Ao Ling looked helpless.

In fact, he also discovered that it seems that since the appearance of the Nuliang carp companion, the king of Macang Ye has always shown obvious restlessness and restlessness.

It can be clearly seen from the fact that he did not hesitate to put away the eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade and the spar of the High Dragon God, and chose to radically and directly strangle those puppet monsters.

"To be exact, we've been seven years past that." Ao Ling stepped into the darkness and began to devour the darkness around him, jokingly: "Maybe that stage will last until seven hundred years." ”

King Macang Ye seemed to take it seriously, and he said very seriously: "Seven hundred years can't be. ”

"Good, good." Ao Ling felt that in recent years, his status with King Macang Ye had been reversed - in the past, the other party coaxed him.

When the black-haired monster noticed this, he couldn't help but fall silent.

After hearing the reply, King Macang Ye treated his wounds, and after a long time he asked, "Sent the slave carp companion away?" ”

"Well, for now."

Will definitely come back when he comes back, Ao Ling feels that with the urine sex of the slave Liang slippery scoop, seeing his son's rapidly growing strength in the Yellow Springs, he will definitely not let go of the great opportunity.

Of course, the most important thing is that Nu Liang is not happy at all that his son grabs his wife's attention from him.

"Sakurahime is a human after all, and Nura Slippery Scoop must want to hurry up and accompany Sakurahime." It is precisely because Sakurahime is just an ordinary human that Nura Slippery Scoop will be careful to guard against any existence that may harm or take away Sakurahime.

Well, like Ao Ling.

For example, the slave carp companion.

"Fortunately, King Ye, you are not an ordinary human." Ao Ling thought, holding his cheeks, "It's not good if it's an ordinary human. ”

"Huh?" The soul of the Onmyoji felt a little puzzled.

"When I went to the future before, I went to Macang's house to see it, but I only saw your remnant soul and that piece of soul jade." Ao Ling said, "I learned from your remnant soul that you were able to be reincarnated as a descendant of the Asakura family, and I thought at that time, when you are reincarnated, I will accompany you through your life as a guardian of you, and you will repay me for giving me a place to stay when I was in Heiankyo." ”

"Before I knew about it, I went back to that era, and I also wanted to find your reincarnation and protect you for the rest of your life."

I just never thought that things would develop like this after that.

"If you're just an ordinary human......" Ao Ling said, pausing here.

He scratched his head, a little unsure of what to do.

Because this kind of thing, which is already doomed to be impossible, is not said at all, or there is no need to hypothesize.

And the Onmyoji finally understood what the youkai was going to say, "Ling means that if I were just an ordinary human, then you wouldn't think about the relationship with me?" ”

Ao Ling paused, and after a while, he answered.

The relaxed expression on King Macang Ye's face disappeared, and he only raised his eyebrows slightly about Ao Ling's unfinished words, and then didn't say anything.

The monster felt a little uneasy, he looked at the silent Onmyoji, touched his nose, and regretted a little that he had to bring up this matter in such a good manner.

Isn't that a blockage for yourself?

Ao Ling sighed, trying to explain something, but in the end he didn't say it.

He felt that he was not wrong in his thinking.

If King Macang Ye was just a human being, he would not say anything to inherit the feelings of King Macang Ye.

- After all, the feelings between youkai and humans can never be equal.

This is the reason why Ao Ling gave up continuing to live with Yoshida Matsuyo and Sakata Gintoki, and it is also the reason why he has always avoided deep friendship with humans.

In the heart, Ao Ling's heart has always been afraid of being abandoned, and he also has a deep fear of loneliness.

That's why he acted before Takasugi Shinsuke and Katsura Kotaro and them, and took the lead in exploring the universe in an attempt to find a way to save Yoshida Matsuyo.

That's why he resolutely gave up the idea of living comfortably with them after saving Yoshida Matsuyo and watching him become a human being.

It's simply because they're all human.

Ao Ling was afraid that after a hundred years of them, he would only be left alone, with nowhere to go.

Time is scary, and it will carve some good memories into the bone marrow.

Those unforgettable people and things have dissipated one after another, but those memories will not pass away, but will appear more and more brilliant under the polishing of time and suffering.

Even after more than a hundred years, Ao Ling still clearly remembers Sakata Ginto's smiles and actions, and even remembers every scar on their bodies when they returned from the battle.

Human life is short and splendid.

For the long-lived and dull youkai, humans are like a ray of light that pierces the endless darkness, extremely moving, always able to bring fatal attraction to the youkai, and also make the youkai left behind by the human beings who have lost their lives fall into the hell of pain and longing.

Ao Ling knew this very well, and because of this, he always kept his distance from humans—even if humans were supposed to be like food to him, it always made him jealous.

Therefore, if King Asakura was just a human being, he would indeed not consider any relationship other than friends.

Unless he becomes a human himself - but obviously, this is no longer possible.

He will become a god, and even if King Macang Ye really can't control himself and take the godhead in the depths of the darkness for himself, Ao Ling and his friends will come up with other ways.

Ao Ling didn't think there was anything wrong with his thoughts, he looked at the silent Onmyoji, and after a long time, he finally lowered his ears and tail, stubbornly not saying a word.

King Macang Ye finished treating the wounds on his body and was resting under the red paper umbrella given by the goddess of Huangquan.

Onmyoji played with the tassels falling from the handle of the umbrella, "Ling likes children very much, right?" ”

Ao Ling was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the topic jumped here, but the topic before he was no longer entangled still made Ao Ling breathe a sigh of relief.

The big black-haired monster said, "Yes, aren't the cubs all cute, little fluffy." ”

Onmyoji smiled slightly, "If the person who values it has offspring, maybe it won't be lonely?" ”

Ao Ling understood that King Macang Ye was referring to his small prejudice and evasion of humans—the fact that he would choose to alienate humans because he would be abandoned.

"No, I think it will be more difficult to have offspring." Ao Ling really couldn't understand the monsters who guarded the offspring of the people he loved, "Don't you think that seeing the similarities between those descendants and the humans who value it will not be even more sad?" ”

"Ling's idea is also very reasonable......" King Macang Ye felt that he was being carried away by Ao Ling's thoughts, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.

"However, most humans and youkai regard their descendants as an extension of their own lives."

Because the same blood flows, and youkai rely on breath to distinguish humans most of the time.

If the blood is continuous, it will always carry the breath of the person in the heart.

That's why youkai who once loved or knew humans wanted to protect their offspring, drawing a touch of comfort and warmth from that familiar aura.

Ao Ling thought for a while, "That's too pitiful......"

"Maybe when we have a child, Ling will understand......"

"Ye King!" Ao Ling's face turned red and interrupted King Macang Ye's words, "Is this your purpose after saying so much!" ”

Onmyoji was a little surprised that Ao Ling had reacted so quickly.

He raised an eyebrow and smiled again, "yes." ”

Ao Ling: "......"

Abba is very disappointed in you, King Ye!

"IMHO, we're all males." Ao Ling looked serious.

King Macang Ye's smile remained unchanged, "Even so, it's not too difficult to create a cub with the blood of you and me. ”

The black-haired big youkai sighed, "Oh, that's not going to work either. ”

"Why?" King Macang Ye frowned.

"The feathered fox cursed me for not being able to continue the bloodline." Ao Ling looked at King Macang Ye's frowning brows and was silent for a while, "Moreover, I can't bear it." ”

Onmyoji snorted - because of the curse.

He paused, "No one needs to produce, just create one, it won't hurt others, what's the reluctance?" ”

"I'm sorry, King Ye." Ao Ling sighed, "I don't want this bloodline to continue. ”

"The feeling of hunger is so hard." Ao Ling closed his eyes slightly, "I don't want my bloodline to suffer such torture again." ”
