Chapter 19: Two Little Monsters
The snow was covered with snow among the sparse trees, and the air suddenly burst into a chill.
The icy blue light suddenly appeared on Xia Han's body, and in the dull eyes of the thief and the swordless, Xia Han's ears slowly lengthened, his face changed, and he turned into a young elf in the blink of an eye.
Pointy ears, blue blonde hair, handsome men and beautiful women - this is the image of elves in the hearts of the world.
"Male and female"
The thief stammered, and he pinched his face to make sure he wasn't dreaming. But he couldn't understand how the beautiful princess who was still standing just now had turned into a boy with a face like a crown of jade in the blink of an eye?
"No, it's impossible, how can a girl become a hateful boy!"
His heart began to waver, and even the nosebleed stopped.
"Ice Arrow"
Xia Han got up and launched an attack on the thief, and the snowflakes in the air condensed into ice arrows with a roar, shooting towards the thief's position from all directions.
"Damn, show me what your true body is first!" The thief ignored the incoming ice arrows, only to see a flash of fire in his eyes, and his figure swept towards Xia Han with a bloody light.
Xia Han immediately stopped the Ice Arrow.
"Fireball!" In his right hand, he ignited a fireball that only a second-order mage had learned and rushed towards the thief, under normal circumstances, a mage and a thief would be tantamount to killing themselves when they were close to each other, but this moment was different.
When the thief smirked and aimed his dagger at Xia Han's pants, the fireball exploded.
"Wow!" The thief's sight was seized in an instant. "Icicles!" A sharp icicle was instantly pulled up from the snow and stabbed into the thief from the bottom up without mercy.
"Hmm" The thief's lower body was painful and numb, and he couldn't help but moan. Xia Han took the opportunity to bully him, and raised his left hand to slash the sharp ice cube like lightning. "No," the thief's eyes widened, and the veins in his neck burst open, spurting blood.
This blood drenched Xia Han's body, and he wiped his face.
"You're unlucky if you meet me, I'll fight to find the key point"
Xia Han didn't have the idea of regular warfare, nor did he skimp on despicable methods - he would definitely become an efficient battle mage in the future.
It wasn't until the thief fell to the ground and was silent that Xia Han walked back to Wujian's side slowly with the blood mark, and then picked her up by the waist.
"Your Highness"
Wujian looked at him with some strangeness.
Xia Han lowered his head and smiled, the curvature of the elf form's lips was quite perfect, if it was allowed to grow for a few years, this smile alone could easily capture the hearts of a large number of different surnames: "No sword, thank you for the kiss." β
Xia Han apologized to Wujian, but he didn't know that the upgrade actually had nothing to do with Wujian, it was just that the thief he happened to meet was a pervert who liked to see female surnames.
"But it's strange that I didn't feel that kiss just now."
Xia Han is more concerned about this question, is it because he is too young? Swordless's face flushed instantly as she lay in his arms, and she didn't know whether to answer the question
Facing the cold wind, Xia Han, whose body had turned into an elf, felt that the whole world had changed color, and he ran forward with a swordless sword, as agile as a vigorous deer.
The two of them found a cave to check the injuries of the swordless, the thief's dagger pierced deeply, but did not hurt the critical heart and other locations - with the swordless magical physique, he could recover early the next morning.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, Xia Han went outside to find some food, and then stayed in the cave and waited for tomorrow.
Dinner was his own hands.
"There is no salt or spices, but they are cooked." Xia Han picked up the piece of meat and frowned and took a bite, and handed it to Wujian with a taste that was almost there: "I have eaten it for more than half a year after your mouth, this time it is time for you to eat the rest of me."
He said half-jokingly.
Wujian reached out and took it, and she opened her mouth to bite it. The girl had tasted something even more unpalatable, she had served her food countless times to test for poison, and she had squatted on the ground countless times to vomit - just to give Xia Han something safe.
"Why use your mouth?" Xia Han asked, obviously you can test the poison without your mouth.
Wujian was stunned for a moment, she lowered her head: "This is the condition for staying by His Highness's side." "The first time the Jade City Lord Wujing met with her, he left this condition, and Wujian stayed by Xia Han's side to personally review the food safety for him.
However, there are countless opportunities for her to leave.
"Why don't you leave?" Xia Han picked up another piece of meat, and the taste was a little bitter without seasoning.
"Actually, I wanted to leave at first, but I had nowhere to go" Wujian took a breath, she raised her head to look at Xia Han and smiled: "When I got to the back, I felt that I couldn't let His Highness stay there alone"
ββ
Xia Han was speechless.
After dinner, Xia Han returned to his original appearance and fell asleep tiredly. His spell casting during the day had put a huge load on his body, and the blue and purple skin under his clothes had long reached the limit of his magic power transformation, but he had been pretending to be fine.
In the dark night, Wujian woke up holding her stomach, she stared at the sleeping Xia Han for a long time in the dark night, and then staggered out. She walked out of the cave, stepped through the snow, and walked a few hundred meters to see the dark knights on the opposite side.
"Amazing, courage!" Wujing, who was standing at the front on horseback, praised her coldly.
Wujian raised her head, her indifferent eyes were very nostalgic in Wujing's eyes: "I just don't want to die in front of him"
Such an interesting expression Wujing had seen on another child's face half a year ago, and perhaps this expression was also like Wujing's reflection in the muddy water when he was a child.
It's a beautiful expression. β
His mother, who begged in the cold and sold her ** cheaply, always praised this expression, but the most pitiful woman in the world did not like her son's expression, but felt that his expression could make him live for a long, long time.
She taught Wujing what survival is, and it is precisely because of his eyes that he can kill his father and brother and occupy the throne of the city lord alone.
"No Sword" Wu Jing suddenly stopped killing this girl, he wanted to ask a question: "If you continue to stay by Xia Han's side, what do you want to be for him?" β
Wujian looked at Wujing's eyes, which were frosty, and looked at others sharply. Don't lie - his eyes say so.
"Key" Wujian didn't think that her lies could deceive Wujing, she smiled sadly: "Your Highness is an eagle locked in a cage, I want to be a key that can make him fly out"
Her smile is very beautiful, but it's a pity that Wujing doesn't appreciate it: "It's a pity that you can't stay by his side like this." β
He raised his handβ
"Action!"
The screams woke Xia Han up, and when he found that the swordless had disappeared and rushed out, he found hundreds of knights charging in rotation in the moonlight, and they were holding long swords to pick the girl's body like a toy again and again, and the blood on the snow was mottled.
Xia Han squatted weakly in the cold snow, he looked at the petite corpse flying in the air, her familiar black hair flying in the air.
Sadness, hatred, pain, remorse, all followed by emptiness, suffocating emptiness, Xia Han's heart was shattered with a bang, and then frozen by eternal ice.
He was taken back to the City Lord's Mansion like a puppet.
Frozen city, frozen world, there is no one in it who can make Xia Han feel warm
In the afternoon, another maid brought medicine for Xia Han: "Little princess, this is your medicinal soup." β
Medicinal soup?
"What's in it," Xia Han stared blankly at the bird's head in the bowl.
"Where's the White Eagle!"
The maid took a spoon to blow the medicine cold, and then handed it to Xia Han, she smiled: "The city lord said that the eagle at your door is fat enough, so let us boil it for you to drink." β
Xia Han's stomach suddenly felt sick to his stomach, and he held on to the head of the bed and retched, but he didn't vomit anything.
"Little princess, don't you drink?"
"No, I drink" Xia Han raised his head, his blank eyes became cold a little, and he laughed: "I will drink!" β
ββββ
The carriage rumbled through the morning grassland, and the cold wind blew the vines and grasses, setting off green waves of white frost.
"How does it feel that your Highness has become a ruthless monster?"
In the carriage, Wujing shredded the information in his hand and looked at the girl opposite with a smile.
Sitting across from him, Wujian, who was dressed in tattered clothes, bit his lip and clenched his hands tightly: "Why"
She didn't understand why Wujing treated Xia Han so cruelly.
The key to unlock the cage - Wujian's answer last night didn't satisfy Wujing, but he gave up killing her. Wujing allowed the knights to find a similar girl and put on a good show in front of Xia Han.
And these things are just to turn Xia Han into a ruthless monster?
"The so-called life is to experience pain, wipe away blood and tears in order to grow"
Wujing didn't answer Wujian's words directly, but his smile did not decrease: "You are all outstanding children, such an excellent child is buried by happiness, and the qualifications are not good." β
This is the test he gave to Xia Han, and it was also a test for the swordless.
When the young Wujing was brought back from the slums to the City Lord's Mansion, his father and brother killed his mother in front of him, and because of this, Wujing never believed that pies would fall from the sky all his life - the unicorn of the Dawn Prairie did not attract him, and he would not give Wujian a happy pie.
The Jade City Lord is a sick man.
"You might as well come and hate me, hate me, the man who has tied thorns to you and the man you love! I look forward to the day when you come for revenge, but until then you have to live."
Wujing's smile turned brutal and bloody.
On this night, he left his swordless on a ship in the harbor - in the form of a slave.
"Ship her to the Vermilion Bird Continent and sell her to the children of the Jiyuan, farmers, and nobles with bad conduct, anything!"
Wujing handed over the money to the ship's owner in front of Wujian, and made a terrible deal, brutally chaining Wujian's hands and feet, and then pulling her by the hair to lift her.
"I forgot to tell you"
He makes no secret of his sarcasm: "Your name is Sword, but you're a lowly slut - your parents, just trying to turn you into a lowly person!" β
Sword cheap
[My name is cheap]
Wujian was thrown on the deck, and she looked at Wujing in the distance, struggling to reach out. She didn't want to leave, she couldn't leave the injured boy behind, he would cry in the cage and he wouldn't be free
however
"This is not the place for a brute like you!"
She was thrown into a slave-filled hold by the crew, cold, dark, and rancid. "Girl" "It's a girl!" The men around her held out their dirty hands to her.
"Get out, get out of here!"
Wujian struggled with all her might, she tore the faces of countless people, bit the arms of countless people, and then shrunk her body and hugged her legs, and just curled up in the corner.
Her eyes turned blood-red and frantic, like a beast in the darkness intimidating outsiders, and a creepy feeling enveloped the entire cabin.
"Monster, monster"
On this day, Xia Han was not the only one who turned into a monster.
And then
Time sped up its pace, and two years flew by.
When Xia Han was not yet nine years old, the Gate of the Plane changed, and the prosperous and powerful Jade Empire approached the twilight;
