Text: Chapter VIII

The people below understood from the very beginning that they were afraid that this king of the demon world was not on the right path with Lin Chumo, who was liked by the demon. They watched the two children fight each other, and they found it amusing.

Yue Ming was a little more restrained because of the reason for the sound of a thousand falls. Just looking at Lin Chumo's gaze, it has always been extremely cold.

"Xiao Mo, don't mind, Yue Ming is talking about playing." Otochiraku explained.

"I understand." Lin Chumo replied with a smile, but his hands were already clenched into fists unconsciously.

Yue Ming really couldn't stay in such a place any longer, here, everyone was wrong-mouthed and hypocritical. He just wanted to get out of here.

So, he got up and left the place despite the call of the sound Qianluo.

As soon as Yue Ming walked out of the place of the dinner, he saw An Lengyao.

"Styx, why did you get out? I must be happy to hear the sound of laughter from your place from time to time, right? An Lengyao asked with a smile.

"If it's really interesting, will I leave?" Yue Ming waved his hand, "Don't you know about the things in the demon world?" At this time of year, everyone says that they are celebrating my birthday and giving me gifts, but they are just taking the opportunity to set up relationships. ”

An Lengyao raised his head, looked at the colorful fireworks in the sky, and said softly: "Actually, I think no matter what kind of birthday it is, as long as someone thinks about it, it is the best." He has always been very envious of Yue Ming in his heart, he is different from himself, he has been cared for by his relatives since he was a child, and someone always remembers him.

"Yao ......," Yue Ming whispered.

An Lengyao looked at him, and there was a sadness between his eyebrows that could not be concealed: "Yue Ming, compared to me, you are really much better." I was an orphan since I was a child, and I didn't know who my real parents were, or when I was born. Sometimes, I feel like I'm a superfluous person. ”

Yue Ming looked at An Lengyao, and his face became a little sad unconsciously. He has always understood An Lengyao's loneliness. Therefore, he wants to use the friendship between them to make up for him and bring him a little warmth when he has suffered from loneliness since childhood.

After being silent for a while, Yue Ming suddenly thought of something and said, "Who said you don't have a birthday?" Since we are like brothers, then from now on, my birthday will be yours. ”

"Yue Ming, I ......" An Lengyao's heart was a little moved because of these words.

"From now on, we will be brothers." Yue Ming solemnly patted him on the shoulder, "Yao, I know that you have been helpless since you were a child, and since your father died, you have always been alone. However, from now on, you are no longer alone, and if you wish, let us be relatives and brothers to each other. ”

An Lengyao has always been a strong person, and when his father, his adoptive father An Tiankuo, was alive, he often warned him that boys should be brave and strong, and they should not cry easily. However, today, when he listened to Yue Ming's words, he couldn't help but wet his eyes.

"Thank you." An Lengyao said, quietly took out a gold coin that emitted a pale golden light from his pocket, and put it in Yue Ming's hand, "This is a gift I have prepared for you." Happy Birthday! His words were full of sincerity, different from the hypocritical and polite tone of the banquet just now.

Yue Ming looked at the gold coin in his palm and praised: "What a beautiful gold coin, I like this gift very much." ”

An Lengyao bent his lips and spoke: "This gold coin also incorporates some of my spiritual power, and putting it on your body for a long time will also help you improve your cultivation." ”

When Yue Ming heard this, he asked with some concern: "Then you spent spiritual power on this, and it didn't cause any major damage to your body, right?" ”

"Yue Ming, you are underestimating my ability by saying this." An Lengyao pretended to be angry, "Am I so fragile in your eyes?" ”

Yue Ming laughed: "How dare I underestimate you?" I'm just concerned about you, well, blame me for talking too much. ”

Under the beautiful fireworks, An Lengyao looked at the boy with a smile in front of him, this was supposed to be the king of the demon realm, but he put down all his body in front of him, sat on an equal footing with him, and intersected with his heart. He suddenly felt that this originally gloomy life was not so bad, at least, there was friendship in his world.

Yue Ming carefully put the gold coin in his pocket and said, "An Lengyao, don't worry, I will definitely take the gift you gave me." It's the best gift I've ever received on my birthday in years. ”

"I'm ashamed to say that. Doesn't you always receive all kinds of treasures on your birthday, how can I be considered the best gift? An Lengyao said.

"Yao, I say this because I never care about the quality of the gifts, I hope that they contain sincere wishes for me and nothing else." Yue Ming whispered, "Even though I am in a high position and have no worries about food and clothing, I also hope to get friends with my heart. ”

Many people think that he is a lucky person, born as the son of the demon king Yue Xuan, and is destined to be noble and extraordinary in the future. But Yue Ming understands that he is not as happy and carefree as everyone thinks.

"Hades, I understand." An Lengyao replied, "Although I have a humble status here, I, An Lengyao, swear today that in this life and this life, I will treat you as a confidant and brotherhood instead of being false and wronged. Since Yue Ming gave him the warmth he needed, then he would not live up to this friendship.

Yue Ming also nodded firmly and said, "Okay, from now on, we will share weal and woe, and we will be sincere with each other. This sky full of fireworks and everything in the world is our witness. ”

At this moment, countless fireworks were once again set off in the air. In the light, the two boys looked at each other and smiled, determined to keep this vow in their hearts forever.

However, how can there be so many constant friendships in the world? None of these promises can be a guarantee of eternity. At that time, the young Yue Ming would never have imagined that many years later, this gold coin that he had carefully collected would be used by An Lengyao as the best evidence that Lingye, the king of the gods, doubted Yue Ming's murder, and would be the final proof of the disappearance of this friendship.

Of course, that's all for later.

Phantom didn't know how long he had been asleep, and it was the heaviest sleep he'd had in years. In a trance, he faintly felt in his heart that if this life passed like this, it would be better. However, a cute and innocent and childish face appeared in front of him. He knew that he couldn't just stay in a dream forever, that he had a sister and someone he needed to take care of.

He desperately tried to get out of the endless darkness before him, and at last, he opened his eyes, and the large light pierced his eyes, and after a while, he finally saw everything in front of him.

"Brother, you're finally awake!" Phantom Ice's crisp and beautiful voice sounded in his ears.

Only then did the phantom realize that Phantom Ice had been sitting on the edge of the bed, and he slowly sat up with his hands supporting his body, leaning against the head of the bed, and asked, "How long have I been asleep?" ”

"One day and one night. Brother, you don't know how scared I am that you will leave me alone and never wake up. When Phantom Ice said this, his face was full of fear and worry. For her, her brother is the only existence in her small world, and if she loses it, she will have nothing.

"Phantom Bing, brother has worried you." The Phantom patted her on the shoulder soothingly, "By the way, how are you, are you hurt?" ”

"I'm fine." Phantom Ice replied, "Thanks to Brother Ling Guang's timely destruction of that terrible demon dragon, we were saved. You were badly wounded and bled a lot, so he took us to the divine realm to heal your wounds. ”

"I see." Phantom nodded, "Thank you so much this time." ”

"This time, besides him, you have to thank someone. In fact, in the final analysis, your injuries were healed by Brother Lingye. At that time, the miracle doctors here all said that you were too seriously injured, and your vitality was greatly damaged, and if you didn't replenish the essence in time, your life would be in danger. After Brother Lingye found out, he gave you most of his aura. So I said, he's really a great guy! Phantom Ice said with a smile.

Phantom was slightly stunned when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that this time, it was Lingye who saved him. He didn't want to owe him too much favor when he left here. And now it seems that he is afraid that he will not be able to pay it back.

In the days that followed, the phantom quietly recuperated in this beautiful place and full of aura. More than half a month has passed, and most of his injuries have healed, Phantom Ice is naturally playful, her appearance is already cute and well-behaved, plus she looks like she is familiar with everyone, and in just a few days, she has won the love of many people. Even Xin Wenya, who was wary of her from the beginning, couldn't help but look at this innocent and cute little girl differently.

Phantom was very happy to see his sister so endearing. He looked at his sister's carefree smiling face for the past few days, and suddenly felt that this should be the original life of Phantom Bing. She was so young, she should have been pampered and carefree, instead of wandering around with him for days, without food and clothing.

After lunch, the Phantom strolls through the garden, where the seasons are like spring, so you can see the flowers blooming at all times. In the afternoon, the divine realm was shrouded in tranquility, and the sun in the blue sky quietly shone on this beautiful land. In the distance, a few birdcalls were heard occasionally. Other than that, there is no superfluous sound.

The phantom is already quiet, walking in this garden, smelling the fragrance of flowers, looking at the beautiful scenery, and can't help but feel a little comfortable.

As he walked, he suddenly saw a back standing in the depths of the garden, it was Lingye.

Ling Ye heard the footsteps behind him, turned around, looked at the phantom not far away and asked, "Is your injury healed?" ”

Phantom nodded, and replied, "Yes." I heard Phantom Ice tell me that this time it was thanks to the Spirit King's rescue that I was able to save my life. I will always remember this kindness. "Ever since he got better, he has been looking for Lingye to say thank you. But he seems to be busy with official business, and he is not easy to bother him.

"It's just a matter of effort." Ling Ye replied lightly, "Now that your body has recovered, what are your plans next?" ”

Phantom thought for a moment and spoke: "Spirit King, I was just about to tell you that I have caused you too much trouble with Phantom Ice, and now that my body has recovered, I want to leave in the next few days." ”

"You are homeless, and you are leaving here to continue your wanderings. This is not a human world, it is surrounded by aura, and it is inevitable that you will not encounter any more spirited monsters after you leave. You've been adrift with Phantom Ice for so many years, and this isn't a long-term solution after all. It's better to stay here. Lingye said to him.

"This ......," the apparition hesitated. Of course, he also wanted to have a place to live, but he really didn't want to trouble Lingye anymore.

Ling Ye has been good at observing words and emotions since he was a child, and although he is young, he is thoughtful and naturally understands the difficulties of the phantom.

"I just don't have a good assistant by my side, if you want, you might as well stay and help me." Lingye said, "In exchange for your stay here." ”

The phantom understands the original meaning of the night. For a moment, he remembered Phantom Bing's immature and innocent face, and couldn't help but nodded: "Okay, I'll stay." ”

Ling Ye looked at him and smiled slightly: "Then, as a person who helps me do things, you must have a certain ability." Of course, the most important thing is the ability to protect yourself. So, from tomorrow onwards, you can follow me to learn spells. ”

The phantom's heart moved. It turned out that Lingye had already thought of everything for him. The last time he met the demon dragon, he only hated that he didn't know magic and didn't have enough ability to protect his sister.

"If your sister is willing to learn, you can let her come with her." Lingye added.

The phantom moved his lips, but he didn't seem to know what to say. Eventually, he just said "thank you" softly.
