(This chapter involves some spoilers, and those who don't like it can skip it, and it won't affect the plot.) )

After experiencing the devastation of the war, the Xuanling Continent finally ushered in a new life, every layer and every country is actively recovering after the war, and the people are full of hope for the future life, but for some people, life is not as good as imagined.

According to the end of the war between gods and demons two weeks later, the beast layer, in a cave in the territory of the Vermilion Bird Country, a girl with long fiery red hair and a wheat-colored complexion was sitting in the cave without saying a word, and the girl's head had a pair of animal ears that looked like cat ears, but compared to the ears of ordinary cats, the girl's animal ears were more like the ears of a lion, in addition to the animal ears, the girl also had a lion's tail behind her, these details surfaced, this girl is not a human, but a spirit animal.

There was not a trace of expression on the girl's face, as if the victory in the war could not bring her the slightest joy, and the girl's body had fallen a lot of dust, proving that the girl had been sitting here for a long time,

"Sister Shishi! Sister Shishi! Are you there! ”

At this moment, the cry of another girl came from outside the cave, but Shishi, who was sitting in the cave, did not react, as if it was not her who was called at all. A moment later, a girl with animal ears also ran in from outside, this girl looked a little younger than Shishi, and her figure was not as good as Shishi, the animal ears on her head were obviously cat ears, and there was a cat tail behind her. When the cat-eared girl saw Shishi, she had a happy expression on her face, she ran behind Shishi, and suddenly hugged Shishi, who was sitting motionless on the ground.

"Sister Shishi, I finally found you...... Call! The girl hugged Shishi, her face rubbed back and forth on Shishi's back, but Shishi still didn't react at all, the girl didn't think much about it, but sat directly next to Shishi, put her hands on her sides, and asked a little casually: "I've been looking for you for a long time...... I didn't expect you to stay in this cave, Brother Ling Yan? Didn't he say that he would pick you up after the wedding with Sister Xing? ”

The girl whispered a lot in Shishi's ear, but Shishi didn't respond a word, and the girl finally realized that something was wrong, she stood up, walked in front of Shishi, and then crouched down again.

"Sister Shishi...... You...... What's wrong? The girl saw that Shishi's face did not have any expression, which made the girl feel a little frightened, she had known Shishi for many years, and had never seen Shishi's appearance, although Shishi's face did not have any expression, but the girl saw something called despair from Shishi's face.

"Sister Shishi......" The girl trembled and stretched out her hand to Shishi, and gently touched Shishi's cheek, when the girl's fingers touched Shishi's cheek, she instantly took her hand back like an electric shock, "Sister Shishi...... Why is your face ...... It's so cool...... "If Shishi's weird performance just makes the girl feel a little strange, then Shishi's abnormal body makes the girl a little worried."

"It's Xianchan......" Shishi slowly raised her head like an old man who was about to die, and the sound from her mouth was as harsh as two pieces of sandpaper rubbing against each other, "I didn't expect it...... I can still see you......"

"Sister Shishi......" Xianchan is in a hurry now, she has never seen Shishi like this, although she doesn't know what happened, but she has vaguely realized that something big has happened, Xianchan stretched out her hand and gently touched Shishi's shoulder, but Shishi was like catkins, fell down softly, Xianchan hurriedly hugged Shishi, and at the same time took out a bag of water from the storage bag she carried, "Sister Shishi, drink some water first." ”

Shishi shook her head and gently pushed away the water bag handed over by Xianchan.

Seeing that Shishi refused to drink water, Xianchan was a little anxious: "Sister Shishi! You look like this, Brother Ling Yan will be worried if he knows it! ”

"Hehehehe...... Hahaha! When Shishi heard the word Ling Yan, she seemed to hear the funniest joke in the world, and she laughed out loud, "Ling Yan...... Scold...... Xianchan, do you know, he is strict...... Already dead...... It's not just strict...... Zhen'er, Qing'er, dusty, serious...... All of them...... They're all dead......"

"What......" Shishi's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the water bag in her hand was not held steady, and fell directly to the ground, and the water in the water bag was sprinkled on the ground, because the climate of the Vermilion Bird Country was hot, and the water spilled was quickly evaporated, "Brother Ling Yan...... He's dead? ”

"That's right...... Dead, everyone is dead, not even the corpses are left......" Shishi sat up slowly, for some reason, her voice was no longer hoarse, but this tone full of despair sounded even more uncomfortable, "Ling Yan is dead...... Even Zhen'er and Qing'er died...... What's the point of my life...... I should ...... Leave this world with them! Shishi said as she stood up from the ground.

"Don't!" Xianchan was afraid that Shishi would do something stupid, so she hugged Shishi all of a sudden, "Don't be like this, Sister Shishi!" If you don't see Brother Ling Yan's body, it proves that Brother Ling Yan may not be dead, wasn't that the case last time? Maybe Brother Ling Yan is trapped somewhere again, and he is trying to catch up! ”

"Don't say it! I've decided! Shishi grabbed Xianchan's arm and wanted to pull Xianchan's hand away, but Xianchan held Shishi and refused to let go, Shishi was afraid of hurting Xianchan, so she had to give up.

"Don't! Sister Shishi! Even if Brother Ling Yan is really dead! That...... Then there is me, and Xianchan is with you! Don't you want to be graceful? If you really want to seek death, Xianchan will accompany you! Xianchan hugged Shishi's waist and refused to let go, she didn't know if Ling Yan was really dead, but her first task now was to settle Shishi.

"Xianchan! I'm different from you, you still have a future, you still have infinite possibilities! My future has disappeared with Ling Yan's departure, if I don't go with him, what is the point of my life in this world! Shishi's words are full of despair, after these days of thinking, Shishi found that her short life was full of tragedy, she lost her parents since she was a child, and finally found someone who loved her, but she lost each other because of an accident, or twice, so this time, Shishi completely lost confidence in life.

"Don't! Sister Shishi, even if it is ...... Even if you can't be with Brother Ling Yan in this life...... You can still be with Brother Ling Yan in the next life! Our lifespan is already longer than that of humans, and even if he goes through a reincarnation, you can still meet him! After all, Xianchan is a person who has been to the ghost layer, and she quickly came up with a way to persuade Shishi, but her method is really not used by ordinary people.

"Reincarnation ......?" Hearing the word reincarnation, Shishi was suddenly stunned, "I remember...... That man told me that in a hundred years, there would be others in Ling Yan who would come back to this world again. ”

"That's right! It's only been a hundred years, and it's been soon! Although Xianchan wanted to ask Shishi who the person she was talking about, at this time, she couldn't care so much.

"So what? After experiencing reincarnation, all memories will be erased, at that time, will Ling Yan still be Ling Yan? In his mind, I was just a stranger. "Shishi's emotions are unstable, but they can still find the problem. After reincarnation, all memories will be erased, and even her appearance will change, will she really be able to recognize Ling Yan at that time? Even if she recognizes her, will Ling Yan know her after reincarnation?

"This ...... We can go to him and recover his previous memories, isn't that how Limeng's memories are restored? In a hurry, Xianchan thought about the problem a lot faster, but when she mentioned Huolimeng, sad emotions surged into her heart again, she shook her head and forcibly held up a smile, "So, Sister Shishi, everything will be fine, and Xianchan will accompany you to find Brother Ling Yan when the time comes." ”

"Nope! You can't go to him! To Xianchan's surprise, Shishi shook her head very resolutely, "I figured it out, meeting me is actually the biggest misfortune in Ling Yan's life, if there is an afterlife, it is enough for me to silently guard him on the side, he has his own life, I shouldn't bother him anymore." ”

"That's not right! It is the luckiest thing to meet Sister Shishi, not only Xianchan thinks so, but Brother Ling Yan must also think so! Indeed, if Ling Yan was still alive, he would definitely say something similar.

However, Shishi didn't seem to hear Xianchan's words, she still said to herself: "It's not just me, you are not allowed to go to Ling Yan!" ”

"Xianchan is not allowed to go? Why? ”

"For Ling Yan, we are no longer people from the same world as him, not only Ling Yan, Zhen'er, Qing'er, but also others, we don't bother, they should have a new life, not be bothered by the past." Although Shishi's idea is a bit decisive, it is not unreasonable, after all, the person who has been reincarnated is already another person, but he should not be bothered by the things of his previous life.

"But...... But...... Brother Ling Yan is the most important person to me...... If it weren't for him, Xianchan might have ......" Xianchan's eyes were full of tears, and her eyes seemed to reappear again when Ling Yan rescued her at the auction, if it weren't for Ling Yan, she would definitely be living an inhuman life now, "Sister Shishi...... Xianchan, Xianchan will definitely go! Even if Brother Ling Yan doesn't remember Xianchan, as long as Xianchan remembers Brother Ling Yan, it's enough! ”

"Yes!" Shishi grimaced, turned around, and looked at Xianchan coldly. After a while, Shishi raised her fist and punched Xianchan, Xianchan was a little surprised to see Shishi actually raise her fist to herself, but when she remembered the bits and pieces she had spent with Ling Yan, her heart quickly calmed down. Shishi's fist didn't really fall on Xianchan's body, the fist rubbed against Xianchan's cheek, and directly pierced the cave, "With this punch just now, I have already killed you, and there is no spirit beast called Xianchan in the world!" After saying that, Shishi left the cave without looking back.

After Shishi left, Xianchan sat on the ground all of a sudden, she has always fought side by side with Shishi, this is the first time to face Shishi, that kind of coercion, that sense of oppression, at that moment, Xianchan almost really thought that she would die under Shishi's fist, but when Xianchan came back to her senses, she found that her clothes were soaked with sweat. After Shishi left, it took a long time for Xianchan to slowly stand up from the ground, she already understood what Shishi wanted to tell herself, but where Shishi would go next, whether she would meet again in the future, these were still unknown.
