Chapter Seventy-Four: Peeping
For decades, Mia has taken care of this body, providing it with the most nutritious food, applying the most carefully prepared maintenance cream by the court physician, wearing the lightest and most breathable, soft and comfortable fabrics, and hiding in the Moon Palace's palace from the wind and sun......
To this day, her skin is still fair and delicate, and her already beautiful face amazes those who are lucky enough to see her.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't change the hard fact that this body was more than a hundred years old, and no matter how fair and beautiful its skin was, it had become senile. is like a bright red rotten heart fruit, which is mouth-watering on the outside, but rotten and stinky on the inside, making people stay away. By now, Mia's greatest fear was the surprised glances and compliments from the young Rao, which sounded like hypocritical mockery.
After standing for a short time, Mia felt a little tired and prepared to lie down on the bed and rest for a while. She glanced at the figure in the mirror again, and saw that it was unconsciously slumping, and its weak appearance was obviously not enough to support her to devote herself to meditation
"This damn skin!" Mia cursed under her breath. As soon as the words came out, Mia's mood worsened, because her hoarse voice sounded like an old witch.
Curled up on the bed, Mia, who had gone through vicissitudes, actually felt as dazed and helpless as a girl.
She has ended many lives with her own hands, and she has faced life and death several times in battle, but she has never calmed down to think about such a question - where do those souls attached to the body go after death?
Now, she felt her life pass faster and faster, and the question popped into her mind more and more often, making her uneasy. She sometimes dreams of her departed relatives, and sometimes she dreams of her friends from the Busen people, Nayin and Keith, but unfortunately no one answers her questions.
"When I really have to do it, I have to take a risk." Mia muttered to herself, thinking of her daughter, the Twelve Princess Brun. She is known as the most beautiful woman in the royal city, and wears a blood-colored gem around her neck that Mia gave her in the shape of a tear. Buren also gave the precious gem a name: the Tears of Sirte.
Mia imagined how excited she must have been when she put on Mia's young, beautiful, energetic body. Sure, she'll be a little bit reluctant and will have to take some risks, but as the retro saying goes: the risks and benefits are always equal.
……
The battle between Li Ling and the Iron Armored Rhino lasted for an hour, and there were no less than hundreds of rendezvous.
In a fatal collision, Li Ling's arm was almost broken, and blood stained half of his body.
But the appearance of the ironclad rhinoceros was even more miserable, and the whole body was covered with wounds of large and large sizes, and it was almost impossible to find a complete place.
Several times, Li Ling felt that the beast was about to fall to the ground or flee in a hurry, but each time, it would stubbornly stand up and run towards Li Ling even more fiercely.
"If this trend continues, even if you are the beast of the wilderness, you will have to be executed by my Ling Chi!" Li Ling was enraged, completely dispelled the idea of escaping, calmed down and dodged again and again, fighting back.
There was hardly a fatal weakness on the iron-armored rhinoceros's body, and Li Ling relied on the sharp dagger to insert it into its body again and again. It was like two ferocious beasts in a life-and-death struggle.
In the grass not far away, the cold eyes began to turn frequently, and they opened wider and wider. His gaze kept sweeping over Li Ling's appearance, his supported arms, and his flexible fighting posture.
If anyone walked over at this time and pushed away the grass that was covering the man in black, he would surely find his mouth wide open in surprise.
After another quarter of an hour, the ironclad rhinoceros finally fell to the ground after struggling for a long time, and could no longer stand up.
The exhausted Li Ling fell on Lin at the same time, gasping for breath. The wound pierced by the horn of the ironclad rhinoceros was no longer bleeding, but there was a tingling sensation.
After recovering a little strength, Li Ling struggled to get up, thinking about leaving the place where he almost lost his life as soon as possible. But he thought about it, the more dangerous the place, the safer, so he simply walked straight to the ironclad rhinoceros and sat down.
"Seeing the miserable end of this big guy, I guess no matter how fierce the beast is, I don't dare to make a mistake, right?" Li Ling muttered as he carefully looked at the corpse in front of him.
Gradually, his eyes began to glow, and his stomach gurgled, and he couldn't help but complain: "Fight and kill for so much, my stomach is about to be hungry." This guy is so strong, the meat on his body must be fat and tender, right? ”
Li Ling still had a trace of respect for this huge and powerful beast, but now, he felt that he no longer had the strength to capture those types of prey, so he had to arch his hand and said apologetically: "Brother, all the injuries on my body were caused by you, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”
After thinking about it, Li Ling added another sentence that he himself felt inexplicable: "Remember to stay calm!" ”
After that, Li Ling stopped talking nonsense, took out a dagger and began to cut along the wound on the beast's neck. It didn't take long for a few pieces of tender raw meat to be put into his mouth one by one and chew them deliciously.
After all, he had done this thing many times, and now it seemed that there was a feeling of flowing water.
Li Ling even ignored the dangers that might lurk around him, closing his eyes from time to time, imagining the beast corpse in front of him as a roasted whole sheep with a charred exterior and tender inside.
The man in black hidden in the grass was like a stake, and he didn't move the whole time. Unconsciously, Li Ling's every move completely fell on his eyes
But now, seeing Li Ling's eating with relish, the black-clothed Rao's eyes were about to pop out.
It wasn't until the second, seeing Li Ling, who was burping, swaggering away from front of him, that the black-clothed man came out of the grass. Impatiently, the man in black reached out and tore a piece of raw meat from the beast's body, closed his eyes and chewed it......
"It doesn't taste good, but it's not bad either." The man in black thought. If he knew this, he wouldn't have to be a vegetarian in order to hide his tracks.
After eating, the man in black burrowed into the grass again, and with excitement, wrote down Li Ling's demeanor and appearance and the process of fighting with the ironclad beast last night.
He knew that Queen Mia's servant, that is, his master, Aemon, would definitely be interested in the young man, and he would definitely be rewarded by Aemon. As for the reason, maybe it's because I always have a heart to mind with my master.
It didn't take much effort, and a blue bird flew in the direction of the royal city, driven by Rao in black clothes.
