Chapter 288: A Long Talk Under the Moon (Two in One)

Wen Yuan did not answer after hearing this.

His gaze was deep and distant, as if something was brewing, and countless emotions were buried in those obsidian-like eyes.

The next moment.

The air around them suddenly became tense -

An invisible force shrouded the surroundings, and at this time, it seemed that there was nothing strange about it, but Ah Yuan's face gradually turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, she clenched her fists, and blue tendons appeared on her forehead.

It's an invisible encounter.

Ah Yuan's body trembled slightly, and a ruthless look appeared in his eyes.

With a movement of her fingers, a seemingly ordinary black jade appeared in her hand.

If you look closely, it appears to be carved into what appears to be a strange beast - with huge pupils, a hideous smile, and fangs at the corners of its mouth and wings rising from its back.

If Mu Jiujiu is here, he must think that the carving on this black jade is very familiar. The beast she had seen in the Land of the Dead, a large, hideous, bat-like monster.

At this moment, a look close to madness appeared in Ah Yuan's eyes.

If she really can't, she doesn't mind breaking the net with him.

A second before Ah Yuan was about to crush the black jade, the pressure in the air suddenly disappeared, and everything returned to its original state.

Fresh air poured into her guts, and she took a deep breath.

……

It took a while for Ah Yuan to break free from the symptoms just now.

She looked at the man in front of her.

The other party was the same as before, and his emotions still didn't make any waves, and he couldn't see any emotions in his still standing body.

His whole person was calm, as if he had just shot at her, which was also an illusion.

At that moment before, Ah Yuan thought that he would inevitably encounter a fierce battle tonight, but he didn't expect the other party to suddenly stop.

Was this man ready to let her go temporarily, or did he just sense danger? If it's the second one, then his perception is too sharp.

Ah Yuan's eyes flashed with thought.

It's been a long time since that mission accident that she hasn't been in touch with anyone before, but just because she hasn't contacted doesn't mean they won't find her again.

The innkeeper was very good to her, as he said, he really raised her like his own daughter, Ah Yuan was treated like this, and at a moment he had the idea of "it's not bad to live like this", but now he wants to come......

I'm afraid it won't work either.

She has the imprint of belonging to that place, just as she can never be like the innkeeper who is naturally kind, she always looks at people from the point of malice, and the bloodlust engraved in her bones is sometimes stimulated at a moment.

Unbeknownst to the innkeeper, she had already killed many people behind his back.

She is like a monster in the gutter, with another face, an innocent and pure smile on the corner of her mouth, but in her heart she has never broken free from the abyss for a moment.

Ah Yuan raised his eyes and showed a gentle smile: "It's already late at night, then I won't disturb the guests to rest." ”

After saying this, she didn't care whether the other party would answer her or not, and went straight away.

……

Silent night.

Wen Yuan stood alone by the railing, looking at the moonlight in the sky.

- The man just now, very dangerous.

It's not that he hasn't thought about killing her, he is different from Mu Jiujiu, he doesn't have so many soft minds. For this hidden danger, he believes that cutting the grass and eradicating the root is the best way.

But at the moment when he was about to kill him, he suddenly felt a hint of danger.

The other party didn't seem to have the power to fight back, and even had a tendency to be unsupportable, and at the last moment, a strange thought flashed in Wen Yuan's mind - as if at that moment, if he made a move, something irreparable would happen.

He had always trusted his instincts, which had saved his life in countless times of crisis.

So.

He withdrew his hand.

……

Wen Yuan looked at the sky.

At some point, the dark clouds that had just been covered had already cleared a little.

The bright moon is like jade, and the stars are hanging in the sky.

Before, he obviously wanted to go back to his room earlier, but maybe it was in the dead of night, and his thoughts were a little drifting.

At this moment, a small sound suddenly came from behind him.

A trace of irritability rose in Wen Yuan's heart, and he suddenly turned around, only to see a dazed face.

Mu wine wine.

She wore a cosy warm dress with a delicate texture, and her skin looked warmer in the starlight twinkling in the sky. Her black hair was spread out and looked slightly messy.

Maybe it was because she had just woken up, and there was still a trace of confusion in her eyes.

Mu Jiujiu yawned: "Brother Wen Yuan, what kind of hobby are you, you don't sleep in the middle of the night and run out to admire the moon......"

Wen Yuan: "...... How did you wake up? ”

"Guess." Mu Jiujiu stuck out his tongue at him.

"It's cold at night, so I don't wear much." Wen Yuan glanced at her and frowned.

"Got it, got it, Wen Yuanjun, why are you like my mother."

Wen Yuan: "......"

Naturally, he took off his robe and draped it over her.

There was still residual warmth on his clothes, and Mu Jiujiu smelled the faint taste that belonged to him, and felt a little warmer in his heart.

"Are you sleepy?" Wen Yuan said softly.

"It used to be a little, but now it'......"

She won't be sleepy when she sees you, can she say that?

Apparently not.

"How about a little talk?"

"Huh? Ahh

She was still suspicious at the first sound, and when she heard the next, she found that her hand was being grasped, and then swept up out of thin air—

When the robe was in the wind, the ink hair was blowing back, and the other party would use spiritual power to envelop her, and then Mu Jiujiu felt that he suddenly went up and fell between the eaves.

A galaxy in the sky.

She stood on a high place, with a panoramic view of the scene below, rows of lush trees, neatly arranged eaves, and in the night sky, a passing spirit bird let out a crisp long chirping.

There is a feeling of being cleansed of the mind.

Mu Jiujiu exhaled and looked at the person beside him.

Wen Yuan smiled in his eyes, waved his robe, cleaned the roof tiles around them, and then said, "Sit down." ”

Mu Jiujiu looked at him and smiled, and she couldn't help but smile, she took out two soft silk cloths from the kitchen and handed them to him: "Cushion." ”

The two sat down together in the eaves.

The distance between them is very close, and they are already very familiar, but Mu Jiujiu inexplicably feels a little hot on his cheeks.

She touched her face unintentionally and brushed her hair back.

"By the way, were you in a bad mood before?"

Mu Jiujiu remembered the way he looked when he first turned his head next to the railing, and his eyes looked a little deep at that time - was it because of the day's events?

"Well, it was a bit before." Wen Yuan replied.

"Is it because of the crowd?"

"It's not."

"What's the reason for that?"

Wen Yuan didn't answer.

"You say, don't hold everything in your heart, maybe I can share the burden for you." Mu Jiujiu couldn't help but tug at his sleeve.

Wen Yuan glanced at her, saw her smart eyes, and suddenly felt that she was really cute at this time, so he didn't hold back, reached out and touched her head.

Mu Jiujiu was stunned for a moment and looked at him.

Wen Yuan saw her stunned appearance, the crimson color between her cheeks, lowered her eyes, and chuckled.

"Wen Yuanjun, do you know that there is a word called 'touching the head to kill'."

"Huh? What a truth. Wen Yuan raised his eyebrows.

It means that you were very sultry just now, and her girlish heart is about to explode.

"It's not going to grow tall when you touch your head." Mu Jiujiu snorted.

Wen Yuan looked up at her and said, "It's okay, your height ......"

"I could have grown taller, but because of what you just did, my height has stopped growing! You are responsible! Mu Jiujiu deliberately teased him and deliberately made a puffing appearance.

"Well, I'm in charge." Wen Yuan said in a low voice.

His voice was soft, but by chance she heard it.

What am I talking about?

Mu Jiujiu felt like he was about to burn again.

……

The air was suddenly quiet.

Neither of them spoke, and Mu Jiujiu felt that the air was all pink.

She deliberately wanted to change the topic and alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere just now, and she also said hesitantly: "Now you can answer me, why were you unhappy before." ”

Wen Yuan said lightly: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I met a nasty person and remembered some of the past." ”

"That's ......"

"By the way, there's one more thing."

"Huh?"

"Stay away from that woman named 'Ah Yuan'."

"Why?" Mu Jiujiu's eyes widened.

In her impression, this person is just an innocent girl, with a bit of innocence that has not been done in the world, she has talked to her a few times before, and she thinks this person is quite cute.

"A lot of things are not necessarily what they see, and seeing is not necessarily true." Wen Yuan frowned: "In short, she has a problem, and she is clever and clever, you should be careful of her." ”

"That's right......" Mu Jiujiu nodded thoughtfully.

Wen Yuan was a little surprised when she accepted it like this, and he said, "I thought you would question a few words." ”

After all, she had a good impression of Ah Yuan before.

Mu Jiujiu "snorted" and smiled: "Wen Yuanjun, you have to have confidence in yourself, do you think I believe in her or believe in you?" ”

They've all been through so much, okay?

Wen Yuan's heart moved slightly after hearing this, he lowered his eyes and let out a soft "um".

Mu Jiujiu looked up at him.

His figure was already long, and at this time, his robe floated faintly in the moonlight, and his skin was stained with a layer of hazy moonlight, which became more and more moving.

At a certain moment, Mu Jiujiu wanted to paint this scene down and collect it forever.

……

"You're homesick these days, aren't you?"

After a while, Wen Yuan broke the silence.

"Ah...... Well, yes, why do you suddenly ask that? ”

"A few times before, you muttered a few words in your sleep."

At that time, she didn't know what she was dreaming, and she called out a few words "Mom" softly, and he caught it.

"Wow, you actually peeked at me sleeping, with bad intentions." Mu Jiujiu immediately made an expression of "You are actually such a Wen Yuan".

"What do you think, I just wanted to see if you had covered the quilt." Wen Yuan looked a little annoyed.

"Haha, what do you explain, I'll tease you." Mu Jiujiu thought his expression and reaction were really funny.

"Actually, you're right, I do think so...... As you guessed before, I don't belong here, but come from a far, far away place, and our environment there is still a little different from here. ”

Mu Jiujiu looked at the stars in the sky and muttered.

At this moment, her mind is full of the food of their world, the rows of high-rise buildings, and the modern buildings, and the people in a hurry.

I didn't feel much about staying in that place before, but it wasn't until I left that I understood what nostalgia was.

Even if the air is a little dirty, the pressure is a bit high, and the house price is a bit expensive.

But that's home.

Lived for so many years, the place where she was raised.

"I remember a long time ago, you disappeared out of thin air a few times, and you must have used a special, space-shifting method."

Wen Yuan remembered what happened in the Canglan Hall when he first met her.

"Yes~ smart, give you a little flower."

Mu Jiujiu snapped his fingers, and after that, he really took out a spirit flower from the storage ring and handed it to him.

Wen Yuan shook his head with a smile and took it.

Whether it is her words or actions, it will often give him a new feeling.

It's like getting a glimpse of a new and strange world, but then sometimes it feels faint and lonely - this feeling is like he and she are people of two worlds.

"Since you're homesick, it's good to go back and have a look." He said calmly.

"That's a long story...... For example, something like my transfer space is broken, so it might take some time. Mu Jiujiu reluctantly explained.

"Isn't it good here?" Wen Yuan said lightly.

"Of course, this world has aura, people can walk with swords in the sky, and amazing powers, which I have never thought of before......"

Mu Jiujiu muttered: "But, people have roots, Wen Yuanjun, do you understand what I mean?" ”

……

"Your home must be very warm." After a while, he spoke.

That's why it's such a gentle look.

"yes, speaking of which...... I rarely hear Wen Yuanjun talk about his past, can you talk about it tonight? ”

Mu Jiujiu's clear eyes looked at him like this.

Wen Yuan saw his own reflection in it, as well as the starry sky.

There are some things that I didn't want to mention again, but for her, it seems that she can make an exception.

"I'm different from you, I don't have a memory of my parents since I remembered. At that time, he was young and did not have much power to protect himself, and later, he was taken to another place......"

……

A faint moonlight shrouded the earth.

Some were chatting on the eaves, the guests were sleeping soundly in their rooms, the group of people who had lost their holy vessels were anxious and discussing what to do, and some were walking in the darkness.

It was a woman who pushed open the door to the inn and walked into the darkness.

She walked without making any sound, but she was extremely fast, and soon moved away from the inn.

No one knew where she was going, and she swept past the trees, turning east and west, stepping on countless cold bluestones, and finally stopped.

From the outside, it looks like a long-abandoned house, and the bricks and tiles outside are already crawling with moss.

She looked up, and the moonlight illuminated her countenance.

It's Ah Yuan.

"Crunch."

She pushed open the heavy door.

Ah Yuan looked into the distance vigilantly, until he confirmed that no one was following, and then closed the door with peace of mind.

There was a strange smell in the house, in addition to an old damp smell, there was also an indescribable feeling.

Ahead was a dilapidated table, and the two of them stepped forward and lit the candle.

The light immediately illuminated the room, and in front of him was a blood-red candle that looked like it was bleeding with tears flowing down its bright red eyes.

If one were to look around at this time, one would find a shocking sight - there were many skulls piled up in the corners of the room, some of which looked to have been sitting for many days, covered with layers of ash, and some of which were new.

They are densely piled up there, making people's scalp tingle to watch.

As she entered the room, Yuan didn't seem to care, she groped for a moment by the dilapidated wall, only to hear a crisp sound, and a black box was immediately ejected.

She opened it, and inside was a seemingly mundane cylindrical object.

Ah Yuan stared at it for a moment, with a complicated expression in his eyes.

It was something that connected "those people", and there was a time when she thought she would never take it out again.

Ah Yuan placed the bottom of the thing on top of the candle flame, and then the thing melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into smoke and emitting into the air.

Nothing happened.

But Ah Yuan knew that after doing so, those people would be able to know the location.

If they wished, they would be able to come soon.

But at the same time, it also means that she can never go back to the old days.
