Chapter 20: Collecting Servants Like Water
Sighing, Xu Lang gave up the entanglement, wanted to calm down and breathe, and fell deeply into cultivation, of course, the divine sense still covered every corner of the surroundings.
Finally having a psychological belonging, Xi Ruoshui slept very deeply, and her subconscious intention had given up her vigilance. Although she has not been in contact with Xu Lang for a long time, she also knows that her current self believes in this man, once she lets go of the burden in her heart, the whole person is in extreme relaxation, so this is also the first time in a long time that she has slept soundly without scruples.
Listening to this girl's breathing, Xu Lang smiled bitterly again, it seems that he has no way to cultivate, when he meets this girl, Xu Lang has no choice, he can't ignore it, he also secretly hates himself, why can't he let go of that benevolent heart, why can't he be ruthless, drive her away, and there will definitely be danger with her. The next time I meet Eliza, will I kill her, can I beat her? If I can kill her, then how will I face the pursuit of Mengshui Palace in the future? It seems that the life I want is still bleak.
The chaotic thoughts made him upset, and he simply stopped thinking about it, he was the only one in this world, so who would hurt him, then he had to accept his crazy revenge.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang couldn't help but be awe-inspiring, startled the birds and beasts around him to run around, the leaves were Xiao Xiao, unfortunately Ruoshui woke up suddenly, and hurriedly got up, hearing the sound in the tent, Xu Lang's mind returned and hurriedly put away the killing intent, at this time, Xi Ruoshui also walked out of the tent and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"
"It's okay, it may be a monster passing by, scared me, it's gone, you sleep, I'll call you if there's something." ”
Xi Ruoshui looked at Xu Lang very suspiciously, but didn't say anything, and walked straight to the fire, the amazing killing intent made her heart calm down for a long time, so she simply sat by the fire and kept vigil with Xu Lang.
Although she didn't know anything about the man in front of her who couldn't practice, the calmness released by the man still made her feel very strange, this was not at all like the state of a weak person who couldn't help it, and the mentality of wanting to protect him rose in Ruoshui's heart, and he couldn't tell this mentality.
She stood up, walked in front of Xu Lang, and slowly knelt on the ground, Xu Lang looked at her very strangely, without moving, Ruoshui put his hands on the knees of cultivation, put his head deep against Xu Lang's knees, and whispered: "May I serve my lord for the rest of my life, with the will of the water god, until I am old and never betrayed." ”
"What?"
Xu Lang jumped up in shock, his mind was a little confused, this is too unexpected, weird, too unexpected, what is the situation? What is the maid for some reason? What does she want to do?
"Hey, Miss Xi, what are you doing? You can't be like this, I haven't settled down yet, and I don't know what to do in the future, how can you be my maid, you quickly take back your vow!"
Xu Lang said incoherently that this incident made him at a loss and didn't know what to do.
"Young Master. ”
"Young Master?!"
No matter how calm Xu Lang is, now it is messy in the wind, he looks at the posture of regretting the water, and does not give up until he reaches his goal, so he simply sits down again, he steadies his mind and asks.
"Say it, tell what you want. ”
Xi Ruoshui looked at Xu Lang, she said slowly: "I am homeless now, I used to be a big lady, I never thought about anything for life, now I have to adapt to the environment and work hard to live, and you also understand my current situation." Before this, everything you did for the war of the Blood Tiger Mercenary Group, I took a fancy to your enthusiasm and persistence outside of your brain. Maybe in the future, there will be a danger to your life, and it will be even more dangerous for you as a person who can't cultivate, although I am not very strong, I still have some ability to protect myself anyway, which is why I want to follow you. There is another important reason, there is no way for me to leave you at the moment, which will give the master a reason to kill me, so I can only follow you for now. ”
"These are not the main things, for a long time, I lived cautiously, and everyone in the division was hypocritical. Only when you knew that my identity was very sensitive, and you knew that it was dangerous, but you didn't say it, and you were still willing to take me in, so I decided to follow and serve you. ”
In just a few words, although he did not say everything in his heart, he had already expressed his inner thoughts and firmness.
Xu Lang held his forehead with his hand, calmed down his mood, thought about it and finally nodded, even if he agreed to the request of Xi Ruoshui, there are also many elements of sympathy in it.
"Since you said follow me and serve me for the rest of your life, but I have one thing to say first, if you can't do it, then please take back this frivolous decision. ”
Xu Lang looked at Xi Ruoshui with a gloomy face, staring directly at Xi Ruoshui's eyes, even if there was a trace of hesitation in these eyes, Xu Lang would refuse.
Xi Ruoshui nodded firmly, she clenched her teeth and looked at Xu Lang with a firm gaze.
"My request is that once you decide to follow me, then don't betray, and the thing I hate most is betrayal. Maybe you think I'm weak, but for betrayal, I have a thousand means to put you to death, so that you can't live rather than die, you must remember, so you'd better think clearly before deciding your own thoughts. ”
Looking at the weak man in front of her, the boundless chill in her eyes, Xi Ruoshui actually felt the coldness around her, and a cold breath was born from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't help but feel a tremble in her heart, she gritted her teeth and nodded firmly.
"I don't regret my decision, so trust me. ”
Looking at the girl in front of him who was half like a devil and an angel, Xu Lang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to Xi Ruoshui.
"Since you have decided, then I will believe you, hehe, maybe you follow me is the wisest decision for you in this life. ”
Although he didn't understand what Xu Lang said, Xi Ruoshui still nodded firmly, no longer had a trace of hesitation, and soon after, Xi Ruoshui felt extremely wise about his sudden decision in the forest, and he was all glad, if he hadn't made this decision with a hot head at that time, maybe his life would have been different, but it would never be so happy, maybe it was a question of whether he could live or not.
But Xi Ruoshui also regretted a decision she made a long time later, and when she decided to leave, she never approached Xu Lang's side again, because there was no place for her there. I have to admit that Eliza played a very important role in her upbringing, directly affecting her personality.
