Fire Moth's Threshold (Part II)
Peach Blossom can easily sneak into the library and steal the illusion essentials that are forbidden for outsiders to see, but she never intended to learn Yuan's illusion, those books are too difficult to understand, and those theoretical systems are too complex and abstract. But the days of stealing cheats every day continue, and Peach Blossom will see Sheng, who is supposed to rest during the day, sitting in front of the window waiting for her every time.
Sheng sat quietly by the window every time, like a cat playing with its own tail, looking out the window and playing with her soft hair. Maybe that's what he was, and he smiled when he noticed her footsteps, and his whole beautiful face was as if carved with determination.
I have to admit that Sheng's talent for learning illusion is much higher than that of the Yuan clan's sons. It didn't take him long to understand all the theories thoroughly, just like Peach Blossom said, all the knowledge of the Yuan family belonged to him.
So I don't want to pretend to be docile and weak anymore. Sheng was still smiling, but in addition to the natural charm in his shallow smile, he also had a faint edge. His half-brothers once laughed at his lowliness and carved it into his bones, but now everyone can see the nobility and pride that he exudes. He is becoming more and more beautiful, but now he will smile and prick the hairpin at his wordsβ tease his brother, even if he will be slapped and unable to stand up, the corners of his bloody lips will be filled with a cold smile, and he will not back down or waver.
"Now is not the time to show your edge......"
"So I didn't let them know the fact that I was better at illusion than they did. When Peach Blossom drugged him, he still laughed innocently and senselessly.
Peach Blossom looked at him with complicated eyes, but at the same time, he suddenly reached out and hugged her tightly: "Thank you...... Although it is worthless for me to say it, believe me, I will definitely give you everything I can give, all ......"
Even if you can change a lot of things, you can't erase your disdain for yourself...... After hesitating for a moment, Peach Blossom still chose to respond to his hug.
"What's next for you? It's time to do something really dangerous, right?" her response made Sheng shudder. Regarding his reaction, Peach Blossom smiled bitterly-
All the same, she was as sober as he was. She knew that she was not loved, but was only used as a powerful prop. She just wants the insecure him to understand that she doesn't have to use herself as bait, and she will firmly help him and protect him.
β...... I'm going out. He opened his hand lightly, looking out the window at the thick night, and his pupils as round as the full moon were marked with determination.
Leaving the distant home is a dark hunting ground where ghosts and spirits are rampant, and even if you are bent here, you can't save your life.
"The weak really can't survive. Sheng smiled calmly and trampled the monster under his feet-
Here he doesn't need to hide his strength, he can continue to show his ambitions, capture all the evil he encounters, and turn them into his pawns.
Peach Blossom looked at him standing in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, Yin Hong's dress was already **** with blood, but his beautiful face was still not filthy, and he smiled innocently and innocently.
"Cheap Slave ......"
"Ah, it's despicable, isn't it?But it's you who obey my plan and brother cannibalism, aren't you?, I just let you see the darkness in your own heart......" He replied to the curse of his opponent at his feet in a clear voice as a spring, and the smile on his lips contained evil breath, "I can only climb up by stepping on your corpses if I drag you all into the abyss...... No matter how ugly it is, I'm going to climb to the top like this...... Remember, it's the God of the City God who killed you......"
Then, he raised the sword of destroying evil that he had stolen from the god of the city god and stabbed it down.
"It's easy to solve it here, there is no more collateral to serve the Yuan family loyally......" Without looking at his opponent again, he smiled at Peach Blossom, the smile was dazzling and intoxicating, but it was especially cruel and evil in the blood.
Manipulating all emotions, lurking in the darkness to quietly wear away at the minions of the prey, and then deliver a fatal blow in the back, what a terrifying demonic spirit......
But he is the master he has been watching, from a well-behaved child to a charming boy of revenge. Sheng lightly crossed the blood stain in front of her, still smiling innocently: "I'm not the same as before, am I?"
It is impossible to be as pure and flawless as before, the young man in front of him smiled beautifully, but his slender white fingers pinched her neck, mischievous and without force, but vaguely and truly revealing murderous intent.
The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. Peach Blossom didn't intend to resent him, but still smiled at the clear eyes with magical power, and slowly stretched out her right hand-
The darkness behind the boy was lit up by the flames, and he suddenly turned back to see the killing dolls twisted and charred in the firelight.
"It's not time yet, Lang Jun," Peach Blossom was still so respectful and gentle, "you're still too eager." β
Sheng didn't speak, just bit his lip in annoyance and looked at the firelight. Peach Blossom thought that he wanted to incarnate the bright and alluring flame, let all the blind moths go crazy for him, sacrifice for him, and then let him grow infinitely...... But he himself was not a moth, desperate for the flame of revenge.
But at this point, he won't hesitate anymore, facing the vigorous flames, he smiled again: "Ah, I don't need to be so impatient, the distant home is mine after all, and I will be trampled under my feet after all......"
The fierce flames crackled, and together with the peach blossoms, they silently witnessed the determination and madness of the young man.
ββΒ·ββ
Peach Blossom knows very well that excessive sobriety will inevitably bring alienation. Attracted by charming smiles and extraordinary talents, Sheng's men gradually and covertly gathered a large group of subordinates.
So there was no need to woo her with false affection, Sheng concentrated on arranging his vast killing plan, only occasionally hastily bringing her some hairpins and jewels as if remembering his negligence, and then running around eagerly like a moth.
Looking at the jewels that shone mysteriously under the candlelight, she smiled slightly wryly.
It doesn't matter, it's good if you're happy, I'm as restless as a moth, Lang Jun.
The long wait finally came to an end, and this time it was the birthday of the state lord, Sheng sat in front of the mirror and smiled calmly.
Never again wearing the colorful clothes of the servants, he knocked over the fat powder all over the table, and even trampled the gorgeous golden hairpin and phoenix hairpin under his feet.
How long has it been since he had put on plain white clothes, how long had he not appeared in front of people in the form of a man? He straightened his white shirt, glanced at the bronze mirror, and without hesitation, picked up the scissors, and cut off the long black and silky hair, which was once full of beaded hairpins.
Peach Blossom didn't stop him, never stopped him. Seeing her in the mirror with a calm expression, Sheng stood up.
"Peach Blossom, what can I do, right? trample everything far away under your feet......" His smile was as intoxicating as honey wine, his amber eyes gently reflected Peach Blossom's face, and his slender fingers gently choked her neck.
"Including me who belongs to a distant family?" Even at this time, Peach Blossom's voice was full of tenderness.
"Do you regret it? You should have known from the beginning that I would not allow you to live...... Sheng's smile became more and more gentle and seductβive, and the power of demagogic power infected Peach Blossom's consciousness like water vapor.
"There's no need to waste your strength on dealing with me, if you wish, I'll disappear without your hands," Peach Blossom just stared at his face, "But, since I'm gone, who knows everything, there's no need for you to die, right?"
Sheng's hand trembled slightly.
"You said that you must not die until you take revenge, with your pride, you also plan to kill yourself after killing the state lord, right?But there is no need to do this, you have worked hard for so long to change the bad luck, isn't dying for the distant family a continuation of the bad luck?so don't die for it......" Gently pulling away his hand, Peach Blossom took the initiative to hug him for the first time.
"But there are conditions for me to kill myself...... I have never stopped you, because I feel that everything that is inflicted on you by a distant family is enough to reward you with several times the madness you have now...... But with a little rationality, you will understand that it is a real mistake to let you become cruel and unscrupulous. I've watched you blacken yourself for revenge, but please don't at least become the kind of being you hate the most...... It is the greatest sorrow to become the same filthy existence as the enemy in order to destroy the enemy, and Lady Luo will not expect you to become such a ......"
"That's enough," Sheng's voice didn't rise or fall through, "there's nothing more to say, tell me the last thing, what would you like to do the most?"
"This is the only thing that will not change, and I want to change my fate. β
Peach Blossom could hear that long sigh, and Sheng also gently hugged her, and his voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible: "Me too." β
So in the boundless hell that followed, there was no place for peach blossoms.
ββΒ·ββ
Sheng survived, he finally got everything, but the oath to leave it all to Peach Blossom was naturally invalid.
Peach Blossom is still a lowly, silent maid.
She didn't ask Sheng what she thought, and Sheng would never be gentle with her again.
Seeing her long-term hard work, the maids who traveled with her occasionally sympathized with her, and the state lord's temperament was moody, she may be the type that the state lord hated.
Petra thinks so, too. But one day when he mentioned his lover to Sheng, he asked about Sheng's feelings, and Sheng did not hesitate to answer that he had someone he loved.
"I see that you are playing with all the women, but you can tell me who you are sincere...... You can't be in love with the Evil Lord, are you?" said Petra, with a playful tone.
But Sheng glared at him more seriously: "What are you talking about." Is there anything strange about her, she is different, only she accepts me when I am most humble and useless, accompanies me through the most humiliating days, and tolerates my filth and betrayal...... That's why I ...... too."
Of course, this is not talking about evil lords. Suddenly understanding who he was referring to, Petra looked at him in surprise: "But you ......"
"Needless to say, I don't have the qualifications to say it anymore," Sheng smiled wryly and pushed open the window, and through the bright moonlight, he could see that Peach Blossom was picking silver osmanthus flowers for his wayward request.
"Before the flower, the moon is a good time to fall in love. But I'm not there, I can't ......be there," Sheng's pale pupils were soaked in moonlight, "In order to step into the threshold of the powerful, I did not hesitate to give up everything and became the most despicable and filthy appearance......"
"Sheng......" felt as if he was about to dissipate into the moonlight, and Petra sighed softly.
But Sheng immediately closed the window again, turned around and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I, who is destined to die for the fire of sin, can only go down with a monster like you......"
Tired of fluttering, a moth pounced into the faint light of fire. The candle hissed as it flickered, and the firelight took the moth's life, then returned to darkness and silence with a sigh.
