Text: Chapter 42
Li Moxue sat beside Aiqi with concern: "You have just recovered a little, why did you come out to blow the cold wind?" ”
"You don't have to worry about me all the time, my body isn't so weak, okay?" Zhang Aiqi said, looking up at the starry sky again, "Look at how beautiful the stars are tonight." ”
Li Mo Xue raised her eyes and smiled nonchalantly: "What is this, if you like it, it will be easy for me to create such a situation with my spell." Although she lost the power of her family for generations because she helped Zhang Jiaqi, she did not lose all her divine power.
"Don't!" Zhang Aiqi pursed her lips, "You have consumed so much power to help me, I can't ask you to spend mana anymore." ”
Li Moxue looked at Aiqi and put her hand on her shoulder: "Don't say that again." As I said earlier, we are friends, shouldn't friends give to each other? I saved you willingly, and I have no regrets. ”
"However, you could have enjoyed a better life in the Divine Realm, you are a Divine Division, and the people there respect you very much, but now, not only do you have to carefully conceal your potential in the Human Realm so that others do not see anything unusual, but you have also given up the mana that you should have passed down from generation to generation because of me, I ......" Zhang Aiqi's words choked in his throat. Ever since she learned the price Mo Xue had paid for saving herself, her mood hadn't calmed down for a long time. She felt like a drag oil bottle from the beginning. Whenever she encounters any difficulties, she always has to rely on her friends, and she can't help with anything.
Li Moxue sighed in her heart, and she knew that her actions were always a hurdle in Aiqi's heart.
"Aki, have you forgotten that you once told me that friends are the ones who lend a helping hand to each other when they are in trouble? In order to stop me, you jumped into the passage connecting the two worlds of gods and men, and you were injured, am I indifferent and let you lose your life? Moreover, your actions are not also for the sake of the friendship between us, so desperate. ”
Every time Li Moxue remembers the scene of that day, her heart is full of fear, she can't believe that the two of them were almost separated forever. At the same time, her heart was full of amazement. She never wondered what strength could make a weak human girl so brave that she would even risk her life to jump into the passage to save herself. Now, it's clear that the answer to all of this comes from friendship.
"But, but you are different from us humans, you are from the divine realm, you are naturally much stronger than us, you shouldn't bear such a loss, it's not worth it." Zhang Aiqi shook her head and said.
Li Moxue looked at the girl in front of her, and there was no expression on her beautiful face.
After a long time, she said lightly: "Zhang Aiqi, do you still mind my identity." ”
"No, I'm just ......" Zhang Aiqi hurriedly denied it, wanting to explain.
"If I weren't from the divine realm, would you still mind that? If today, just an ordinary human saved you, would you still have such a big sense of guilt? Li Moxue asked loudly.
"I ......" Zhang Aiqi was speechless for a while. If, if it was just an ordinary person who saved her today, she might not really care so much.
Seeing Zhang Aiqi's hesitant look, Li Moxue's heart was cold: "I told you at the beginning, I am different from you humans, if you have any scruples because of my identity, it is better to give up our friendship as soon as possible, I don't need friends myself." ”
Zhang Aiqi was stunned, she felt that whenever she tried to get close to this lonely girl, she would always be stabbed by her indifferent words. Aiqi thinks probably because of her stupid mouth, sometimes she really thinks about Mo Xue, but she always causes the two of them to be unhappy because of language mistakes. It can be seen that after going through so much, she gradually understands that Mo Xue's seemingly cold words are just a cover for the loneliness in her heart. A person who has more than a hundred years of life, she is in the red dust, but she has always watched her years as a bystander, and no one cares, how lonely it is.
"Mo Xue, I know, what you said is false." Zhang Aiqi suddenly smiled and said to the girl in front of her, "You crave friendship more than anyone else." ”
Her smile gradually dimmed: "The reason why I think you are different is not because I am in awe of your identity, I just can't bear to look at you who are so powerful, because I give up the spells that I am proud of." I think you deserve a better life and I want you to be happy. ”
Li Moxue looked at Aiqi's face, which was a little pale due to injury, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, and the anger in her heart gradually dissipated: "Zhang Aiqi, why do you always think like this?" Do you think I wouldn't be happy if I lost some of my spells? It's just your own thoughts. On the contrary, I am very happy, and I am glad that I can save you with my ability. You're the first friend I've made in nearly a hundred years, and I don't want anything to happen to you. In my mind, spells and identities are just names. If it were possible, I would rather give up all this and be an ordinary person. ”
When Zhang Aiqi heard this, she couldn't help but be moved.
"Moxue, I understand, thank you. I promise you, although I, Zhang Aiqi, am just a human being, but in this life, I will not let you be lonely again, and I will give back to you with the most sincere friendship. Zhang Aiqi said solemnly.
Li Moxue smiled slightly, and flicked Aiqi's head: "You gave me friendship a long time ago, didn't you?" This affection has been with me since we met. ”
Zhang Aiqi couldn't help but hold Mo Xue's hand, at this moment, she really felt that their friendship would continue.
Suddenly, Li Moxue seemed to notice something, and her body stiffened slightly, but she still said to Zhang Aiqi quietly: "The wind is strong, your body is just better, be careful and catch a cold." And it's not too early, you go to bed first. ”
Zhang Aiqi did feel a little tired, she got up and nodded: "Okay, you can rest early." ”
Li Moxue smiled lightly, and after watching Zhang Aiqi walk into the room, her face instantly became a little colder.
"I don't know what the Spirit King has to do when he comes to the world at such a late hour." Mo Xue said to a flower bed not far away.
At this moment, a figure walked out from behind. Although the man's face could not be seen clearly in the dark night, he could still be seen as a teenager by virtue of his slender and straight body.
The young man walked slowly towards her: "I am here today to ask you just one question. Have you really decided to stay here? ”
Li Moxue shrugged her shoulders and replied, "Didn't the Spirit King understand my words that day?" Back when I went to the Divine Realm to find you and save the phantom, I didn't already tell you my answer. ”
Ling Ye stood in front of her and said in a deep voice: "The situation was urgent that day, Zhang Aiqi's life was almost lost, and we didn't have time to say more. Now that she's fine, I'd like to hear your answer again. ”
Li Moxue frowned and said firmly: "No matter how many times you ask me, my answer is only one - I want to stay." "She had made up her mind a long time ago. She has been wandering alone in the human world for so long, and she has long since stopped belonging to the people in the divine realm.
The moonlight coldly sprinkled on Ling Ye's body, and his whole body exuded a pure white light. He looked at her and didn't answer.
After a long time, he spoke: "However, you are originally a member of the Divine Realm, your body is born with the blood of the Divine Realm, you were born different from these mortals, and the Divine Realm is your destination." ”
Li Moxue looked up at him, and suddenly smiled coldly: "I think, I probably understand the purpose of your coming here." I've lost my ability to see through spells now, and even if I go back to the God Realm, there's no way to help you anymore, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. Besides, Spirit King, with all due respect, you are noble by nature, and naturally do not want to be in the company of humans. However, I have been wandering alone in the world for many years, and I have long been used to being here. What's more, I now have a friendship again, although this friendship is ordinary, but it is my only warmth, for this, I am willing to give up everything to stay. ”
"You think I want you to go back to the divine realm to help for my own benefit?" Lingye asked rhetorically.
Li Moxue didn't answer, but from her cold gaze, the answer was self-evident.
Ling Ye shook his head: "I will not force others to change their will, if you are determined to stay, I have no right to interfere." However, I want you to understand one thing: no matter how much you try to disconnect from the divine realm, you will still be one of them. Don't forget, here, you can carefully hide your spells, your identity...... But...... Don't you know that there is one thing that you can't change, that God's lifespan is infinite, that you have countless years, and that these human beings are constantly reincarnated, going through birth, old age, sickness and death, you are always the way you are! ”
Li Moxue couldn't help but be stunned, in fact, in these days, she had never thought about this problem carefully, all these years, she always thought that this year's Aiqi was only fifteen years old, and they still had a long time to spend together. But now, Lingye cruelly described the gap between her and Aiqi in clear words, not identity, not spells, but the time they lived with each other was so different.
In other words, decades later, when Aiqi is in her twilight years, she still has her face unchanged. Little by little, she would watch her friends grow and grow old, and even die, but she would always be a bystander, unable to participate in the vicissitudes of time.
If, a hundred years later, Aiqi dies, then how will she go on in these lonely years?
She couldn't imagine it.
Ling Ye saw that her face was gloomy, and although she couldn't bear it, she had to continue: "I know that you have spent a hundred years here alone, and at that time, you never thought about these problems, because you have no contact with human beings, and you have no bond of friendship. So at that time, the birth, old age, sickness and death of the world were just like a drama in your eyes. But now, you and Zhang Aiqi have formed a deep friendship, you ask yourself, are you willing to watch her go to the end of her life little by little, and you are still in your prime? ”
