Extra: Homeland
The Xuan Clan, beyond the realm, guards the realm, and is not a very well-known mysterious race
The Xuan people live in a world as white as a fairyland, calm and peaceful, isolated from the world. They are immortal, immortal, eternally young, and enjoy eternal life without desire.
It's just that the Xuan people are pure-hearted and have few desires, and they are not keen on reproduction, and the short estrus period every year is only to promote the relationship between husband and wife. The extremely cold climate also made it extremely difficult for Xuan women to conceive, so that there were fewer newborns, and the entire Xuan people only had a population of more than 3,000 for countless years. In order to increase their pregnancy rate, some couples have to leave their homeland to prepare for pregnancy in a warmer climate, until the birth of their child and return to their homeland.
Some lucky humans were fortunate enough to come into contact with the Xuan people, marveling at their long lives, and marveling at their talent for controlling the water element, which is almost equivalent to the legendary ultimate body of the water element elves, so they are also called the water elves. However, this title was not recognized by the Xuan people, and they did not bother to justify anything.
In the last hundred years, the patriarch's son was born, named Xuanyi.
The Xuan people were collectively silent, and did not celebrate the birth of the newborn as usual, because they heard some rumors from the outside world: there was a high-profile new powerhouse named Liao, whose body was the Wolf of the Storm, whose strength was close to that of the Nine Sages, and slaughtered a kingdom in the north with the power of one person. Millions of corpses were buried under the blizzard overnight, and there was no trace of human life in sight, which was the most significant bloody crime in a century.
They did not understand why the patriarch had given his son the same name as the butcher.
Decades have passed, and he has become a handsome and beautiful young man. He is also a sociable, eager to play with children his age and go into the water to fish. It's just that he doesn't know why, he noticed that the attitude of the people of the clan towards him was a little strange, and both adults and children subconsciously kept their distance from him, and this feeling had a ...... Alienated awe.
Because he is a noble young master, why is his father, who is the patriarch, respected and loved by everyone?
I don't understand, I don't want to understand, and I watch children of the same age grow up in silence in talking, laughing, crying and making trouble.
Then one day, he discovered that he could control a blizzard like an arm, as if he had been born with it. For the first time, he had the confidence that he could finally do something, and in a sudden snowstorm, he used this power to rescue the people who had returned to his homeland. It is the duty of the young master to protect the clan, and he believes that he has the ability to share the burden for his father, and he will be able to be the head of the clan in the future.
However, the tribesman did not appreciate him for this, and his frightened eyes gradually turned to fear, and he fled in panic.
At this moment, he only felt cold, and there was an indescribable loneliness, and he didn't understand why the people were afraid of him.
Since that time, he has often had a dream in which a vague shadow of a girl, slowly approaching him, hugging him, and giving him warmth. Who is it? I can't see my face clearly, I just feel familiar, but I can't remember anything.
Small hands, such a small body, feeling warm and extremely warm, never had a feeling that made him very addicted.
Again and again, whenever he wanted to talk to the girl's shadow, he would suddenly wake up and the dream came to an abrupt end.
With this illusory shadow, he no longer feels that the years are difficult, and he no longer cares about other people's eyes and talk about him, he only needs to fulfill the responsibility of protecting the safety of his people, and does not care about the rest. All thoughts are shifted to the identity of the person in the dream, who is she?
When he was one hundred years old, he inadvertently awakened the second form of the seal during a cultivation. Far more terrifying than his ability to control a blizzard, he can control water with ease, and can make the water freeze into ice in an instant, just like the 10,000-year-old ice deep in the ice field under his feet, sharp and indestructible.
This time, instead of being exposed to others like the first time, he chose to hide it deeply, and he was afraid that the next time he would see it in the eyes of his people was not fear but disgust.
Time passes day by day, and the sun is slanting, which means that half a year's day is coming to an end.
The night came quietly and will last for up to half a year.
The lights illuminate the igloos, ice towers and ice sculptures that are located in a particularly transparent and beautiful way, and the aurora is mysterious and dreamy, floating lightly like a streamer, as beautiful as a flame, as bright as a streamer, flickering bright and dark, graceful and colorful, attracting many children, couples and couples to stop and admire, linger.
There is no one among these people, he is used to being alone, and inspecting the territory and cultivating is his daily schedule.
Until one day, he remembered the shadow named Zheng'er in the dream, and he was immediately ecstatic, eager to share the joy in his heart with others, but he ...... No one.
But it didn't matter, the empty and indifferent heart regained consciousness, feeling a little sweet, a little warm, and some inexplicable, lingering pain. He didn't know how he had never had such a strong emotion in his lover, and couldn't help but hug her tightly, kiss her, gently strip off all her clothes, and linger wildly......
The moment he woke up, the wetness in his crotch reminded him of what he had done. Pretending to be calm, he disposed of his turbidity-stained pants, soaked himself in the spring water to wash his body, and then went to the ice palace as usual to greet his father.
"You're in heat, son. The patriarch on the Ice Throne bluntly pointed out the current situation of the Emperor.
His expression suddenly tensed, and he was a little overwhelmed.
"I'm so happy for your growth. The patriarch left the Ice Throne and slowly walked down the ice steps, and stood still in front of him, looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze. "Restrain your eyes and smell, you don't need to declare your displeasure to everyone, no woman likes rude courtship. ”
Awkwardly, he looked away, and subconsciously let out a cold aura to wrap his whole body, extinguishing his restless heart and the flames that were about to move.
The patriarch noticed the cold aura emanating from his son's body, his face changed slightly, and he returned to normal in the next second, and continued: "Now, you have to learn to impress her with your charm, you must be single-minded when pursuing, the Xuan clan is monogamous for life, and you have to respect your chosen partner." ”
"Now?" his father's suggestion made him look at him in a daze, not quite understanding the meaning of the sentence. "I'm only 100 years old, I'm still very young, and the important thing is that there are no women in the clan that I like......"
"And who are you in love with?" the patriarch asked him rhetorically.
He didn't make a sound, just on guard, his father's vast and powerful aura made him feel threatened and nervous. And he can't say that he was introduced into estrus by the woman in the dream, there is no woman named Zheng'er in the Xuan clan, and it is not convincing to talk about illusory dreams.
The patriarch didn't continue to ask, and turned back to climb the ice steps to return to the Ice Throne.
"When did Yin's second form awaken?"
Shocked by his father's sudden anger, he felt like a small boat isolated in a storm, ready to capsize. Stressed, out of instinct, the cold and biting cold quickly diffused from the body, and everywhere it went, it was immediately covered with hoarfrost and ice flowers, and ice spikes continued to stretch out from under his feet, and more and more ice spikes formed a huge cluster in front of him, trying to block the anger from his father.
"Childish. The patriarch tugged at the corners of his lips, releasing a hint of war.
This trace of battle intent made Yan feel an unprecedented threat, and he frantically urged the seal in his body.
The ice field under their feet suddenly began to vibrate and creak, which immediately alarmed the guards at the entrance of the Ice Palace, and they were surprised to find that the source of the movement was not outside, but from the depths of the Ice Palace. With a huge roar, a huge thick ice wall rose from the crystal clear ice palace, knocking down some of the pillars, countless ice blocks and ice chips burst out in all directions, and more thick ice spikes burst out, stabbing the entire ice palace into a hedgehog.
On the square, people gathered more and more, and in the common cognition of the Xuan people, the defense of the Ice Palace was invincible, because the Ice Palace was the will of the patriarch. However, the patriarch is like a god in their hearts, and no one has the strength and courage to challenge the authority of the patriarch, but the scene in front of them has broken their cognition, and someone has destroyed the Ice Palace!
"You're really amazing to me. The patriarch sat on the Ice Throne and said lightly, his grim face showing no surprise at all. "Don't you know that no one is allowed to awaken the second form of the Seal without my permission, not even my son. ”
Panting heavily, the sequelae of detachment made his whole body tremble uncontrollably, his mind was a mess, and he had no heart to distinguish the differences in the patriarch's words.
"There can only be one patriarch in the Xuan Clan, and there can only be one king in the Ice and Snow Realm. ”
The patriarch's deep voice, slow tone, and every word he spit out were like a hammer on his chest, overwhelming people.
At this moment, it was this feeling of being ruthlessly crushed, as if she was annoyed by his arrogance. In a trance, he felt that his father was so strange, which made him feel that he didn't know anything about his father who had been shouting since he was a child. The first form of the Awakening Seal means that you can become an adult and can choose to marry, and the second form of the Awakening Seal is to help your father share the heavy affairs and pressure from the outside world, and want to become strong as soon as possible to better protect the clansmen, isn't this the responsibility of being a son and a young master?
"Give you a day to reflect, and tomorrow this time, you will receive the punishment yourself. ”
As soon as the patriarch's words fell, he felt a whirlwind of heaven and earth being thrown out of the ice palace, and fell heavily on the square outside, full of embarrassment. Glancing at the astonished gaze of the clansmen, he clenched his teeth, stumbled to his feet, slowly straightened his back, and left the square step by step without looking at the broken ice palace behind him.
He didn't notice that the way the people looked at him had changed, and the suspicion and fear of the past had vanished, replaced by envy and admiration.
He returned to his room, his clenched fists still shaking involuntarily. There is fear, there is excitement, and more confusion, mixed thinking and the interference of estrus can't do reflection at all, and I don't understand why I have to reflect if I haven't done anything wrong, my father's reaction is completely unexpected by him, and my father who doted on him when he was a child is almost like two people.
The next day, standing in the square and looking at the beautiful Ice Palace illuminated by the Northern Lights, there was no trace of destruction, and if it wasn't for the profound lesson I received yesterday, I would really mistake everything for an illusion.
The people passing by stopped and saluted him very respectfully, and even some women kissed him in a closet kiss to show their affection, which made Yan who had been estranged a little flattered. couldn't help straightening his chest, with a different mood, and a little uneasy, he stepped into his father's territory-the Ice Palace.
He was greeted not by the patriarch, but by the disciplinarian of justice and justice, who saddled him with a heavy sentence of forty years of solitary confinement. The ice here is not frozen, but the body is imprisoned with ice and only conscious, which can be called torture.
He didn't expect to be able to break through the physical confinement, the Ice Palace was the will of the patriarch, and he didn't want to break free without the patriarch's permission. Perhaps his father wanted to wear away his ambition and usurpation?
Fortunately, he still has the right to sleep, and he can also step into the only paradise - dreams.
