Chapter 382: The Old Man of the Secret Realm
Shen Zhiyou originally thought that Wei Lingxiao would order those men who were secretly ambushing her to besiege her with all their might, and she was even ready to fight hard.
As a result, those aura fluctuations around the surroundings only appeared for a moment, and after a short period of more than ten seconds, they disappeared.
Shen Zhi raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Could it be that she misestimated Wei Lingxiao's purpose?
Wei Lingxiao invited her over this time, was it really just to chat, talk about her heart, and miss the old?
Shen Zhiyou quickly snorted coldly in her heart, and a hint of mocking coldness flashed in her eyes.
How could a person like Wei Lingxiao do something that had no interest in him? The so-called wind and snow were just a means for him.
Let's take a look, what kind of moth does this Wei Lingxiao want to do!
At this time, Wei Lingxiao, who had been silent for a moment, finally spoke again.
"Zhiyou wants to know, where is the little boy you saved in the secret realm now?"
Shen Zhiyou glanced at him unceremoniously and said, "Of course I want to know, otherwise, why do you think I am here?"
The "little boy" mentioned by Shen Zhiyou is a special little guy she met in the secret realm in her previous life.
That little guy didn't know how he ended up in the secret realm, and his whole body was scratched by the claws of the spirit beast, and there was almost no intact place.
However, even so, the little boy still held a sword that could not be broken, and attacked the spirit beast that was dozens of times bigger than him!
The spirit beast roared angrily and pounced on the little boy!
With just one claw, the little boy should be killed.
Shen Zhiyou watched for a while, and after all, he was moved by compassion, and a spirit rune sent the spirit beast to the western sky.
It's just that the little boy whose face was covered with the blood of the spirit beast didn't express his gratitude to Shen Zhiyou at all, but wiped his face and said angrily: "Who told you to meddle in your business? I don't need you to save me!"
Shen Zhi raised her eyebrows in surprise, and soon, a touch of mockery appeared on her face.
"Well, I'm clumsy, I don't see that you don't need anyone else to save you at all. Goodbye...... Oh no, it's better not to say goodbye, lest I accidentally and meddle in saving someone who shouldn't be saved. ”
After Shen Zhiyou finished speaking, she simply turned around and left.
The little boy gritted his teeth, glanced at the spirit beast that could no longer die, thought about it, and actually followed.
In this way, Shen Zhiyou had a small tail behind her.
Shen Zhiyou had long known that the little boy was following her, but since she hadn't detected any malice in the little boy's body, she didn't bother to catch up with the other party.
The days passed, and one day, when Shen Zhiyou was eating, she suddenly found that the little boy was hiding in another corner, secretly eating wild fruits, chewing bloody and tasteless raw meat.
Looking at the little boy who was skinny all over his body and the clothes on his body were dirty, Shen Zhiyou still couldn't continue to be ruthless after all.
She took out a piece of dry food from the storage ring and slapped it neatly on the little boy's hand.
"Here you go, take it. ”
The little boy was about to refuse, but Shen Zhiyou suddenly said: "I didn't give it to you for nothing, if you eat my things, you have to work for me." Continue to eat these unnutritious raw meats, or eat my dry food, you choose. ”
After Shen Zhiyou finished speaking, she didn't look at the little boy again, walked to the side, and continued to eat lunch.
The little boy gritted his teeth and stared at the dry food in his hand, as if he were staring at an enemy, but his eyes flashed with countless struggles.
In the end, he compromised with dry food.
After all, the aroma of dry food is incomparable to that of fishy, cold and astringent raw meat.
So, this little tail, which had been following Shen Zhiyou for many days, went from secretly following it to openly dragging Shen Zhiyou's side.
And when Shen Zhiyou was hunting and lighting fires, he would also command him to clean up his internal organs and collect firewood.
Later, Little Tail will even take the initiative to do some physical work within his ability.
In order to show his appreciation, Shen Zhiyou will also give him more food.
Gradually, Little Tail and Shen Zhiyou got used to this mode of getting along, and because of the abundant food and nutrition, Little Tail grew taller day by day.
However, the relationship between Little Tail and Shen Zhiyou is still not hot.
It's not that Shen Zhiyou holds a grudge, but that little tail is really too twisted, every time the relationship with Shen Zhiyou gets a little closer, he will stay away a little awkwardly, and he has a cold face for several days, refusing to talk to Shen Zhiyou.
Over time, Shen Zhiyou didn't bother to pay attention to this awkward little tail.
The transformation of their relationship stems from a near-fatal adventure.
Shen Zhiyou planned to go to the cave of an eight-rank spirit beast and dig up some raw materials for talismans.
Because this operation was too risky, even Shen Zhiyou was not a little sure, so she let Little Tail stay at a good distance from the cave, and after leaving some self-defense talismans for Little Tail, she ran in by herself.
Little Tail didn't know the danger of this operation, he thought that Shen Zhi's tryst would come out soon, just like before.
As a result, he waited for hour after hour, until the sun was about to set, and the little tail couldn't wait for Shen Zhiyou.
He finally panicked.
Just as he was thinking about whether to go into the cave to find out, a loud bang came from the other side of the cave.
The little tail tightened his heart, and he pulled his legs and ran to the cave!
When he ran to the vicinity of the cave out of breath, he was shocked and frightened to find that Shen Zhiyou's cave had collapsed!
"You...... Where are you? Did you come out?!"
The little tail tore and shouted loudly towards the collapsed cavern.
It was quiet, and there was no response.
Little Tail couldn't control the worry and fear in his heart anymore, and ran towards the pile of small hill-like cave rubble, throwing the spirit runes in his hand one after another!
Boom Boom!
Woohoo!
The runes still had a certain effect on the rubble, but it was only a small gap.
"You don't die! You don't die! You can't die!"
Little Tail simply dropped all the talismans and dug a pit with his bare hands.
His mind went blank, and he didn't know if what he was doing made sense.
He only knew that he couldn't let the person who gave him the only warmth die quietly like this.
He didn't even know the other person's name!
The little tail was dug from the evening until it was dark, and then until the moon and stars were scarce.
His hands were already bleeding, and the sounds of wild beasts rang out all around him.
This is the beast that has run over with the smell of blood.
If the little tail continues to dig like this, even if it doesn't starve to death, it will have to die in the mouth of the spirit beast.
Just when a wave of despair swelled up in his heart, a bright light suddenly rose to the sky!
Immediately, a boulder pressed on the cave was suddenly pushed away by a pair of slender jade hands!
The little tail fell to the ground with a "plop", and his eyes looked at Shen Zhiyou, who was embarrassed, but also appeared at the mouth of the spirit beast cave with great energy.
Without the serious injuries or deaths he imagined, Shen Zhiyou looked too good to be better.
"You...... Little one, are you crying?"
Shen Zhiyou walked in front of Little Tail and looked at the little boy who was even more embarrassed than her in surprise.
The corners of the little boy's mouth twitched, his eyes turned red, and he twisted his neck quickly, without spitting out a word to Shen Zhiyou.
Seeing Shen Zhiyou who appeared in front of him alive, he was awkward again.
However, the wounds on his hands had already informed Shen Zhiyou of what had happened before.
Warmth appeared on Shen Zhiyou's face.
She took the little one to the spring, carefully washed his wounds, and anointed him with elixir.
"Thank you, little one. Today, I did almost confess there. If you hadn't dug a gap for me, I wouldn't have been able to find my way out so quickly. ”
Shen Zhiyou smiled at the little tail.
The little tail glared at Shen Zhiyou, and after biting his lower lip vigorously, he said word by word: "Don't take this risk in the future, when I grow up, I will definitely become the most powerful person in the entire Xuanwu Continent, and when the time comes, whatever you want, I will put my hands in front of you." ”
Shen Zhiyou raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, then I'll wait." ”
Since that day, the relationship between Shen Zhiyou and Little Tail has become harmonious.
Shen Zhiyou didn't take Little Tail's words to heart.
In getting along day by day, she has long regarded Little Tail as her younger brother.
Since he is a younger brother, of course, he must guide and protect him with his heart.
It was at that time that Shen Zhiyou knew that the reason why Little Tail's temperament was so awkward and why his guard was so heavy was all because of his unfortunate childhood.
Shen Zhiyou thought that they would always rely on each other like this.
As a result, not long after leaving the secret realm, she encountered the catastrophe of her previous life, Wei Lingxiao.
Almost the first time she saw Wei Lingxiao, Shen Zhiyou had a heart-warming feeling.
And Wei Lingxiao also took good care of Shen Zhiyou, looking like a messenger protecting flowers.
The little guy seems to look at Wei Lingxiao very unpleasantly, and every time, he has to oppose Wei Lingxiao openly and secretly.
And Wei Lingxiao put on a generous look, and said to Shen Zhiyou helplessly: "It seems that I really don't have any childlike fate, and your younger brother really doesn't like me everywhere." ”
Shen Zhiyou also had a headache, and several times she called the little guy out alone and asked him what the reason was, he hated Wei Lingxiao so much.
The little one's awkwardness was done again, and he twisted his head and didn't speak at all.
Shen Zhiyou rubbed her forehead helplessly.
On the one hand, there is the person she likes, and on the other hand, the little brother she puts in her heart, Shen Zhiyou also finds it very difficult.
It can only be said that the mind of the little boy is really difficult to understand.
Until the last time, the little boy stared at Shen Zhiyou and said word by word: "He is not a good person, you leave him, and I will raise you in the future." ”
Shen Zhiyou laughed out loud and said to the little boy: "You little guy, do you think that when I am with Ling Xiao, I want him to raise me? Hmm? Where do you think your sister Zhiyou seems to need someone else to raise you? You are still too young, you will be able to understand why your sister is with Ling Xiao's brother in the future." ”
The little boy turned his head and gave Shen Zhiyou the back of his head.
Shen Zhiyou thought that the little guy was awkward again, so she didn't think much about it.
So, she didn't see it, and the little boy's eyes flashed gloom.
As a result, that night, Little Tail said goodbye.
For a period of time afterward, Shen Zhiyou almost went crazy looking for this little boy who she had already regarded as her own brother.
fearing that he would meet an enemy;
worried that he would not be well fed and clothed;
I am worried that he will not be able to find his way back after this moment of negative energy......
As a result, even if Wei Lingxiao's secret guard was used, she couldn't find any trace of the other party.
It wasn't until three full years later that she gradually stopped thinking about it.
After many years, when Wei Lingxiao mentioned the little boy in the secret realm again, Shen Zhiyou's heart was actually a little touched, but this touch had nothing to do with Wei Lingxiao at all.
Because, for Shen Zhiyou, the little boy is one of the few warm memories in his previous life.
It would be nice to know the whereabouts of the little one.
At the very least, it would be enough for her to know that the other party is alive and well.
And compared with the little guy, Wei Lingxiao's scum is obviously not worth mentioning.
Hearing the meaning of Shen Zhiyou's words, Wei Lingxiao felt a little uneasy in his heart.
A flash of anger flashed in his eyes, but a smile that was both gentle and dangerous appeared on his face.
"Zhiyou had never spoken to me like that before. ”
"That was before, and I never thought that one day I would die at the hands of Your Majesty. ”
Shen Zhi sneered coldly, showing no weakness in his tone.
Looking at Shen Zhiyou, who was so stubborn and aggressive, Wei Lingxiao's expression became helpless again.
"What happened back then can be regarded as something else. ”
In the helplessness, there seems to be a little bit of spoiling.
However, Shen Zhiyou, who would be affected by Wei Lingxiao's every move, had already died in the past, so no matter what kind of expression Wei Lingxiao made now, he could no longer shake Shen Zhiyou.
What's more, it is a fact that Wei Lingxiao is talking about loving her while marrying someone else in a blink of an eye, Shen Zhiyou is not a fool, she will never accept any form of betrayal.
So, she hooked the corners of her lips and said, "What is hidden or not, Your Majesty has no need to say it again." Anyway, it is a fact that I was forced to die on the cliff by His Majesty, if Your Majesty really thinks that I died pitifully in my previous life and wants to tell me more truth, then tell me directly, besides Your Majesty, if I have any other enemies. ”
Shen Zhiyu seemed to be speaking very relaxed, but her tone and expression were extremely cold.
Before tonight, Wei Lingxiao always felt that Shen Zhiyou should still have old feelings for him.
After all, when Shen Zhiyou looked at herself in the past, in addition to admiration, there was only admiration in her eyes.
And now, Shen Zhiyou not only has no admiration in her eyes, but also a little impatience.
Wei Lingxiao's heart seemed to be thrown into the cold and dark deep sea, and slowly sank.
It also strengthened his determination to do what he did next.
