Chapter 270: Life in the World Needs Affection
You canβt judge a book by its cover? Changning guessed what the Shadow was really referring to. Is he talking about himself? Changning suddenly smiled. She had never felt that he was a simple person. It's just that every time I see his childish face that doesn't match his temperament at all, I prefer to believe that he is just a lonely child.
At first, she was able to be completely defenseless against him, and even willing to get along with him sincerely. That's because he doesn't have any cultivation and won't threaten him.
But now it seems that this is not the case at all. But so what? From beginning to end, there was not a trace of hostility in his eyes. That's enough.
"Then let's do as you say, let them go." Changning smiled indifferently, these demons should be extraordinary. She is still shallow in her cultivation now, and she doesn't want to cause too much trouble.
The shadow looked at Liu Changning seriously for a moment, "Let's go and sit with me, I still have some good wine there, let's taste it together." β
Changning didn't particularly like wine, but sometimes, wine could really relieve loneliness, and she walked quickly to the shadow and walked with it. As she walked to the front of the Shadow's courtyard, she suddenly looked at the Shadow, who was just past her chest, "Shadow, it's time for you to lose weight." β
In fact, Changning also knew that even if he subtracted some flesh, his body shape could not be changed. Still, she reminded her with a wicked taste.
The shadow's leisurely footsteps suddenly froze, "You still want to think about how you can look a little older, be careful not to marry the old aunt," he said as he grimaced at Liu Changning. The series of movements on his face were extremely stiff, and even because of his special facial features, this originally extremely cute expression became extremely ugly.
"No matter what I become, he won't dislike me." Changning's tone suddenly became sour. The Shadow's words reminded her of Wen Xu. In fact, she had been thinking about it all along, but at this moment she missed it even more. She didn't panic, Wen Xu really didn't care about her appearance. It was proved when she was in the red.
But she wished those things had never happened. She would rather she still be as she was a teenager, paying attention to the women around him, worrying about whether he would be tempted. At that time, although I was sometimes nervous, it was more sweet.
Unlike now, although there is moving, there is more bitterness and longing.
The last time Wen Xu's sword intent suddenly appeared on her. She had never dared to think about the consequences of Wen Xu's sword. It's just that I want to enter the heart of the upper realm.
Shadow scoffed at what Liu Changning said, "I didn't expect you to be so innocent and believe that there will be infatuated men in this world." Even the merfolk in the Upper Realm, who are known for their infatuation, will also leave their lovers when they grow old. Not to mention human beings. β
Changning shook his head and said to the Shadow, "You seem to know everything, but in fact you don't know anything. Feelings are such a thing as something that can only be understood after experiencing it. Yes, there are many bad roots in human nature. All people like to be lazy, they all have inertia, all people have desires, they can never be satisfied, all people like good things and reject ugly things. However, people have feelings. When you have feelings, everything you see changes. β
"What's changed?" The Shadow pondered for a moment and asked solemnly.
"When you like someone, you feel that it is pleasing to the eye, and when you don't like someone, you feel that they are not pleasing to the eye. Everything is the same. Changning glanced at the shadow strangely when he said this, "Why are you asking this now?" You'll understand these things when you grow up. β
"It's useful to know a little bit more. If what you just said is right. Well, I wish I didn't grow up in my life, and I didn't have anything I liked. Because, those will be my weaknesses. I don't want me to have weaknesses. β
The Shadow's face was extremely serious, and what he said seemed to be well thought out. Changning didn't know what to say for a while. Originally, she hoped that the Shadow would have a yearning for beautiful things. I didn't expect it to be self-defeating.
The Shadow suddenly stopped, "It's here." β
Only then did Changning notice that he had actually arrived in front of a lake. But this lake is not filled with water, but with wine. There may have been a large array of isolation before. Only when I walked here, Changning could smell the mellow aroma of wine in the lake.
The lake is divided into a number of small pools, each of which contains a different color of wine, which is very pleasing to the eye. Even people like her, who don't like to drink very much, are a little eager to try it.
"You're going to enjoy it. I didn't expect there to be such a place in your garden. Changning took a jade cup from the stone table next to him and filled it with a glass of wine.
"What do you mean by drinking like that? Wine has to be drunk in large gulps to taste. Shadow pulls out a jar and fills it with his favorite wine.
The two of them each found a comfortable place to sit down, and neither of them spoke, quietly sipping the wine.
The Shadow adjusted his posture to let the sun shine on him, and when he felt the warmth, he squinted his eyes pleasantly, and his small eyes became a slit. At this moment, the cangsang qi on his body was exhausted, and he looked lazy, and the whole person looked like a giant cat, "Do you know what the wine in your hand is made of?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.
Changning couldn't help but taste the sweet taste she had just tasted again, she looked at the shadow and asked curiously, "How is it prepared?" β
"Anything that can make such a good wine is naturally the essence of the earth. But there's one thing you never imagine. Do you see that red pool over there? "No mistakes, no skipping words. At this point, the Shadow gazes on the colorful pools of the lake.
"I saw it, it was red but transparent, very beautiful." Changning said sincerely, the cup in her hand was the kind of red sprinkle liquid in it, and she secretly thought in her heart that it tasted good.
"It's all made of demon blood." Shadow suddenly opened his eyes as he said this, and there was excitement in his eyes, "Those demon clans come here every other month to send blood, but they still don't repent. It's really funny. β
Interesting? No, no, it's not interesting at all, Changning only felt a wave of nausea in her stomach, what was it that she just drank? Blood? She suddenly felt a little creepy, "You're really ...... enough"
She's tempted to say perverted. But when she thought about it, she didn't think it was anything. She also eats no less animals. Those animals will also become demons if they are cultivated. Speaking of which, the Shadow just bleed them out. Wouldn't it be more cruel for her to eat those animals?
"Demons and humans are natural enemies. I'm just putting some blood on their own, do you need to make a fuss? "No mistakes, no skipping words. The shadow glanced at Liu Changning with disdain.
Changning slowly calmed himself down and took another sip of the blood wine in his hand. There is no trace of fishy smell, sweet and refreshing, and it is indeed delicious. Although she kept hypnotizing herself, she was still a little uncomfortable. Only this time, it's much better than before.
She put down the cup and smiled, people's adaptability is still very strong, isn't it?
"How serious is the situation above?" Changning asked the Shadow as he put down his cup.
"Why are you so curious about the things in the Upper Realm? Although your abilities are not bad. But your strength is too weak. What can you do if you understand? Sometimes knowing too much won't do you any good. The Shadow poured wine into his mouth as he spoke, but this time he drank not his favorite sweet taste, but a bitter taste.
Dissatisfied, he threw down the jar and replaced it with another color.
"Ignorance is a blessing, but I don't want to be the ignorant one. There are some things that always need to be taken care of. If it's not yourself, then it's the people around you. I want to be able to take it on my own and share it with the people around me. I hope that when danger comes, we will not be forced to separate, nor will we compromise. Changning's mood became gloomy when he said this, but some things gradually took root in his heart. For example, her attitude towards life.
She has gradually matured. Although I have had similar thoughts before, I am even walking in this direction. But that's not enough. She wants to make something her habit, a part of herself.
"You're thinking. It doesn't hurt to tell you about the above things. Anyway, I only know it from other people. A strange look flashed on Shadow's face when he said the words others, and then he said slowly, "Compared to the Nether, the Upper World is a much wider world. But it's not just the Terrans. There are also many races, such as the demon race, the demon race, the blood race, the spirit race, the ancient relics race, and some mutant races. Each race has its own territory. Among these races, the Terran race has the strongest strength and the widest territory, two of the four great celestial venerables are from the human race, and three of the eight great sages are from the human race. β
"It's just that although the human race is strong, it can't suppress all races. Those races are now united. Shadow frowned as he spoke, "The territory of the human race is dwindling right now due to the combined pressure of the various races. β
"In short, the upper realm is very unquiet right now. It's not easy to live there. Even Yun Lan, who is a Venerable Venerable, is oppressed by various forces. Shadow pursed his lips at this, seemingly extremely dissatisfied, "Actually, the root of the problem is that humans are full of food and have nothing to do. β
Are humans fed and struggling? Changning's pupils shrank unconsciously. Although the Shadow said it with great ease. But Changning knows that this situation is often the most prone to chaos. She speculated, "Could it be that someone wants to reshuffle the forces of the upper realm?" β
"Reshuffle? That's a very apt description. The corner of the Shadow's mouth smiled, "Those people are indeed dissatisfied with the status quo, so they are ready to move." β
This kind of thing has happened a lot in history, and there is nothing unusual. But it's the most troublesome.
