Chapter Forty-Six: My Beast, My Lord
When Mochen came back after finishing the matter, it was already the night of six days later, and in the three days since Mo Qinglan woke up to Baili Zhige leaving her, Baili Zhige's life was terrifying, and she couldn't sleep day and night.
So when Mochen appeared in front of him, Baili Zhige sent incense to his ancestors, and he was glad that the life of the Baili clan was finally saved.
"Ancestor...... No, you're finally here. Baili Zhige hugged Mochen, and couldn't care about the mess on Mochen's body, and shouted excitedly.
"What's wrong with her?" Mo Chen's face was gray, and seeing Baili Zhige's expression, he thought that Mo Qinglan hadn't woken up yet, and his grip on Baili Zhige's shoulder increased a lot.
"She's fine, but I'm not good." Baili Zhige said with a bitter face.
Mo Chen breathed a sigh of relief, pushed away the octopus-like person on his body, looked around, and said, "What about her?" ”
"Guarding the carcass of wild beasts in the woods, no one is allowed to come near. The people in the town were injured by her, and they blocked my door every day......"
Before Baili Zhige's words were finished, his eyes lit up, and the person who was there just now had disappeared in an instant.
The night cage is cold in the forest, and there is no starlight, only the moon shines in the forest.
The carcasses of a hundred and ten beasts lay on the ground in a ring, their heads facing one direction in the center, as they had been six days before. The only difference is that the person who was originally lying on the ground is sitting there at the moment, holding a wine jug in one hand, and drinking alone in front of the moon.
The black clothes are like a curtain, the black hair is like a waterfall, and the cold light of the moonlight blurs her face, but her lonely back is outlined in the night.
Qinglan ...... Mo Chen's Adam's apple surged up and down twice, and the words echoed in his chest and stopped at his lips. The time coincided strangely, and he was also standing in the place where he was looking at the woman in front of him that night, but his mood was very different, with two heavens of joy and sorrow.
Mo Qinglan slowly turned his head sideways and looked in the direction of Mo Chen, the moonlight in the corner of his eyes brought a layer of dreamy silver halo, and the killing in his eyes was cold, but there were more hollowness and strangeness that he had never had.
Such an unfamiliar expression made Mo Chen's heart ache, as if Mo Qinglan would disappear in the next moment, as if she did not belong to this dynasty in the first place.
"Qinglan, I'm back." Mo Chen and Mo Qinglan looked at each other, walked forward step by step, and slowly approached her until there was a hint of familiar emotion in the other party's eyes.
Wooden, guarded, complex......
"They ......" The wine in Mo Qinglan's hand pointed at the beasts around him, and raised his head to Mo Chen:
"Saved me. I'm not going to let them not even save a corpse. ”
Mo Chen sat in front of her, gently lowered the long gray cloth bag on his shoulder to his knees, and smiled at her when he heard Mo Qinglan say this, but was about to speak but was interrupted by Mo Qinglan.
"I know that they are animals in your eyes, born to be eaten. If you are here to be a lobbyist, for the sake of your repeated rescues, I won't hurt you, you can go back. ”
The smell of wine in Mo Qinglan's mouth mixed with the woman's faint fragrance faintly passed into Mo Chen's nose, and when he got closer, he found that Mo Qinglan's cheeks were red, but his eyes were becoming clearer and clearer.
The reason why Mo Qinglan agreed to Baili Zhige to stay here and wait for Mo Chen to come back was because he thought that Mo Chen said that he was from Shadowless Valley and knew all about her, and he should also know the murderer who killed her predecessor back then.
It's just that Baili Zhige later said that half of her survival was due to the bright moon pearl, and the other half was because she absorbed the spirit of the beasts, and those beasts died to save her.
For the next three days, Mo Qinglan confronted the people in the town who heard the news in order to save the corpses of the beasts, and she even injured dozens of people in order to protect these corpses.
For a while, the people were afraid that Mo Qinglan didn't dare to come to the forest, so they all turned to Baili Zhige to ask for an explanation, and Baili Zhige had no choice but to hide in the forest during the day and dare to go home at night.
Mo Chen understood after thinking about it like this, Mo Qinglan seemed to be ruthless but was actually a kind person to her, and she always tried her best to repay her, even if the other party was just a brute.
"I'm not here to be a lobbyist. What others think has to do with me, and I depend on you what you want to do. Mochen smiled warmly.
Mo Qinglan paused for a moment to drink, looking at Mo Chen's eyes with light and darkness fluctuating, and finally she handed the wine to Mo Chen.
Mo Chen took it, turned to the dead beast and poured the wine jug slowly, his voice was as soft as a spring breeze:
"I, Mochen, thank you for saving Qinglan, it's not what I expected, but even if I knew I would have to sacrifice your lives to save her, I would still do it. With Qinglan's wine, I salute everyone, Qinglan and I will not let the world eat the skin and cut the bones. ”
Mo Chen's expression was solemn and serious, as if he was not facing a group of beasts but a famous chivalrous and righteous man, this attitude surprised Mo Qinglan, and his heart warmed a little.
The wine was almost poured, and Ink Dust drank the last bit of it. His lips pressed against the rim of the flask, and his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of throbbing.
"Aren't they just beasts in your eyes? What is the purpose of you putting on a show in front of me like this? Bright Moon Pearl? It's in me, but you've got to kill me. Mo Qinglan snatched the wine jug in Mo Chen's hand and said coldly.
"You're trying to say that you're just a different person to be used in front of them, right? You hate them, you hate Ye Changqing and Qin An'an. Is it? Mo Chen looked at Mo Qinglan with a distressed face.
Mo Qinglan looked at Mo Chen steadily, his eyes were cold, the bones of his hands on the handle of the wine pot were clear, the green tendons were bursting up, and the atmosphere around him suddenly became stagnant and heavy.
Mo Chen was a little nervous in his heart, he knew that what he said just now was very serious, firstly, he had poked Mo Qinglan's sore spot, and secondly, he had let Mo Qinglan know that there was another person in this world who knew that she had crossed over. If Mo Qinglan trusts him, it's fine, otherwise he will be in danger tonight.
After a while, Mo Qinglan shook his head lightly, looked over Mo Chen's shoulder at the beast corpse behind him, and said lightly:
"I hate myself."
Mo Chen looked at Mo Qinglan's hand holding the wine jug and was silent.
"When I woke up, I was in a bamboo garden outside Ye Changqing Palace, Qin An woke up earlier than me, and she said that I was too seriously injured and was in a coma for more than half a month. I was really badly injured before I came here, and she looked and built like me, so I didn't think much of it at first. Mo Qinglan said slowly, and the precursor she was naturally referring to in her mouth. Maybe it was the effect of alcohol, or maybe it was because Mochen promised to help her solve the matter of the corpses of this group of beasts, and her heart was very blocked......
"But as time went on, I felt something was wrong with this body." When Mo Qinglan said this, his expressionless face finally changed.
