Volume 2 Pointing the way to the country, Edgeworth is riding the wind. Chapter 084: Fate
Erin's big watery eyes had a little soft light.
The silver glow of the waning moon sprinkled on her tranquil face, adding a bit of grace to the night.
The pitiful appearance of such a beautiful woman made it difficult for Li Yanbei to say half a word.
He nodded slowly and stammered slightly,
"Oh... Oh......"
Being watched by Erin like this, Li Yanbei suddenly felt a little weak.
He didn't know why, only that he couldn't refuse her little request now.
"You... You say. ”
Hearing Li Yanbei's agreement, Erin breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned her eyes to the void and said quietly,
"Did you know that since I was born, I have been treated like a moon by the stars. All the people around me have only respect for me, and this respect also makes me feel a loneliness that ordinary people can never feel. I've never had friends, and every day I'm just confronted with boring spiritual practice. ”
Erin reached out and hugged her knee, and the sadness and loneliness in her eyes intensified.
"I wish I had a friend and someone who would treat me like a normal person. ”
Tilting her head slightly, Erin looked at Li Yanbei.
"I lied to you about my identity, but I really don't want you to know my identity, because I'm afraid that if you know my identity, you'll treat me like everyone else. ”
Glancing at Li Yanbei deeply, Erin said softly,
"You don't blame me. ”
Li Yanbei looked at such a delicate and lovely Erin, and his heart moved slightly.
He believed that no one in the world could resist the gaze of the little girl in front of him, not even himself.
"Of course not. ”
In order to hide his turbulent state of mind at the moment, Li Yanbei squeezed out a smile.
"Everyone has secrets they don't want others to know, and so do I. Don't worry, Lolita, I will never find out your identity, and I will consider you a friend in the future. ”
Hearing Li Yanbei's words, Erin chuckled.
"Yanbei people, thank you. ”
Li Yanbei touched his head, and then laughed awkwardly twice.
"Thank you, you're smart, cute, and talented, in fact, I like to make friends with you. ”
Hearing the word 'like' in Li Yanbei's mouth, Erin's cheeks suddenly turned crimson.
She looked at Li Yanbei quietly, and her eyes were as tender as water.
I don't know why, being looked at like this by Erin, Li Yanbei's heart suddenly beat very fast.
He wanted to look away to stabilize his mind, but found that his gaze seemed to be firmly locked by an invisible rope, and he couldn't take the slightest move from it.
Looking at Li Yanbei's dull gaze, Erin smiled.
As if feeling that such a look was too ambiguous, Erin lowered her gaze slightly.
This shy appearance filled in three points of color, which made Li Yanbei's thousand-year-old state of mind almost lost.
He hurriedly closed his eyes, and then tied the seal with one hand.
"There is clarity and turbidity, movement and stillness, the sky is clear and turbid, the sky is moving and the earth is still......"
After reciting the mantra silently, the restless mind calmed down.
He slowly opened his eyes, and now his eyes were clear.
"Your uncle!"
Li Yanbei scolded secretly.
"Li Yanbei, Li Yanbei, you are more than a thousand years old, how can you be fascinated by this little girl in front of you?
Looking at Erin in front of her, who was contemplating like a delicate flower, Li Yanbei hurriedly guarded her state of mind.
He didn't know why his Dao heart was suddenly shaken, and he didn't know why his state of mind that had been cultivating for all these years was suddenly shattered like a mirror.
He had to blame Erin for all this, because he really couldn't find any other reason.
"This little girl must have been a little vixen in her previous life, and she was also a profound kind. ”
Silently muttering in his heart, he didn't dare to make a sound.
He was afraid that as soon as he spoke out now, the trembling words would reveal his shaky mood.
Seeing that Li Yanbei didn't make a sound for a long time, Erin was a little strange.
Flickering her eyelashes twice, she asked cautiously,
"Yanbei people, you ......"
Probing slightly, Erin's pretty face came closer.
"Are you feeling sick?"
Seeing that Erin was a little closer, Li Yanbei was like a great enemy.
"No... It's okay......"
He shook his hand hurriedly, then picked up the flask that Erin had just put down and took a sip.
Looking at Li Yanbei, who was a little abnormal, Erin looked suspicious.
She tilted her head and pursed her lips slightly.
"Is it that my story is too boring, so you're not very interested. ”
Hearing this, Li Yanbei immediately sat up straight.
"No... No. ”
Forcibly suppressing the disturbed state of mind, he forced a smile.
"It's just that I've been sitting for a long time, and my legs are a little numb. ”
Hearing this, Erin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, I thought you were getting bored. ”
Li Yanbei smiled hard.
"Why, on such a boring night, wouldn't it be nice to have a story to hear? ”
Erin chuckled, then said,
"Yanbei people, in fact, I envy you. ”
Hearing this, Li Yanbei was slightly stunned.
"Huh?"
Erin turned her head and looked back at the waning moon in the void.
"I envy you for being able to make your own decisions about everything, and no matter what danger you encounter, you can deal with it calmly. I only live a free life every day, I just want to live happily, even if it is a meal, I will take it seriously, and never let my stomach suffer. ”
The mood seemed to have returned to normal, and Li Yanbei finally dared to speak again.
He licked his lips that were a little dry, and said calmly,
"Isn't life that simple?"
Erin shook her head slowly.
"Life is never so simple. ”
As if seeing Erin's serious helplessness, Li Yanbei frowned.
"Lolita, where did you get so much trouble at such a young age?"
Erin bit her lip slightly, as if she had secretly made a decision.
She picked up the jug of sake and drank it down.
Seeing Erin like this, Li Yanbei was taken aback. But by the time he reacted, Erin had already put down the empty flask.
"This wine is good, but it is a little strong. ”
Erin wiped the corners of her mouth, then smiled indifferently.
"Drink it, it's hot in the chest. ”
Li Yanbei looked surprised, because he really didn't dare to imagine how long he would get drunk after taking a sip of this half bottle of wine.
"I said, little girl, this is my freshly brewed burning knife, can it not be strong. If you go down this bite, I guess I'll sleep until tomorrow afternoon. ”
Erin's face was crimson, as if she was drunk.
"What is it? I've never heard of it, is it in any of the books you taught me?"
Li Yanbei smiled bitterly, then shook his head and said,
"Burning knives is folk wine, and it is not recorded in the books of the sages. However, there are some relevant descriptions in some rural histories or novels. I also drank this wine by chance in the northeast of the Xiuzhen Realm, and I also asked the restaurant for the method of making wine. This wine is so strong that it usually needs to settle for three years before drinking. But I was a little hungry for alcohol, so I opened it and drank it as soon as it was ready. Well, when we get out of this place, I'll keep it for three years, and when the altar is opened again, I'll invite you to get drunk."
Hearing this, Erin's smart eyes suddenly darkened.
She sighed faintly, and then said slowly,
"There may never be a chance to drink together. ”
Hearing this, Li Yanbei was slightly stunned.
"Huh?"
Looking at Li Yanbei, Erin's misty drunken eyes revealed a faint sadness.
"In three years, maybe I'll be married. At that time, as a husband, how can I have a cup with the people of Yanbei again?"
"Marry?"
Li Yanbei's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.
Because he really couldn't imagine what kind of proud son of heaven was qualified to marry such an excellent girl.
"You ......"
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Li Yanbei seemed to feel a little regretful.
"Are you going to get married at a young age? With your knowledge and intelligence, is there a man you can fancy on this dark light continent?"
"Sneer......"
Erin scoffed, picked up the empty flask and shook it twice, then threw it into the depths of the jungle.
"It's not that I'm arrogant, but there's really no one in this world who can't get into my eyes. ”
Standing up, Erin staggered to Li Yanbei's side.
She sat down beside Li Yanbei heavily, and then patted him on the shoulder with a grin.
"Except for you, my lord. ”
Her face was drunk, and Irene's usual indifference had been burned by the spirits.
"Yanbei people, except for you, my lord, I really don't see any men in this world. ”
The smile on Erin's face grew brighter and wider, but the drunkenness was incomparably seductive.
"Although I haven't been in contact with you for a long time, you are the only man I admire. ”
Raising her eyebrows slightly, the confusion in Erin's eyes became thicker and thicker.
"The only one. ”
