Chapter 54: The Phantom Sisterhood of Life
In the moonlit woodland, a slender figure walked slowly in the forest, and her beautiful face was full of loneliness and sadness. Behind him was a black shadow like a mountain, silently following. Walking lightly, he didn't seem to dare to disturb the woman in front of him. A man and a beast walked through the forest, needless to say that it was Linghu and Ah Cao. In accordance with Xiao Yun's will, he followed Ah Cao all the way, and was a loyal patron saint, carefully accompanying Ah Cao's left and right.
"Why? Did I read it wrong?" Ah Cao's heart was full of gloom, and his mind was full of scenes of the bewitching woman and Xiao Yun embracing each other, like a deep imprint, lingering. If this woman is Aya, maybe Ah Cao won't feel anything wrong, but it's the strange woman. Ah Cao felt a knife-like pain in her heart, and a line of tears fell on her pretty face, and everyone felt pity.
"Hey, human beings are really incredible, and the master is too strange, how good this woman is, why would he abandon her?" Linghu was also quite sad in his mind, perhaps he suddenly lost the master's breath, which made his heart quite unaccustomed, and he always felt that he had lost something.
Maybe this woman is the same as herself, hey, master, where have you gone? But although the spirit tiger has lost Xiao Yun's breath, the traction of the soul still exists. It knew that Xiao Yun was still in this world, but he had only lost contact temporarily, and he would reunite sooner or later. Linghu wanted to comfort Ah Cao with the same words, but it had not yet advanced to the transformation and could not speak, unless it was Xiao Yun who could exchange thoughts with it.
At this moment, Linghu suddenly felt that someone was walking towards them. The other party's soul power seemed to be even stronger, giving Linghu a sense of crisis. Out of instinctive reaction, Linghu quickly cast a concealment technique and slowly disappeared from his figure.
In the distance, Aya strolled over, looked up at Acao, and said that Aya seemed to be a little deliberately avoiding Acao in the past two days. Although Ah Cao is a slave, she is different from other female slaves, Aya knows Ah Cao's life experience, so she made such a choice.
In fact, Aya's good impression of Xiao Yun is no less than that of Ah Cao, as a woman of the withered leaf clan, she is born with a rebellious temperament, which seems to be tough, but she is actually more emotional. Once the fire of affection is ignited, it is uncontrollable, not weaker than Ah Cao, and even more forgetful, and more indomitable, so for love, she would not have chosen to be polite.
This doesn't quite match Aya's character, although she is clearly more sane than Aya. But you must know that in the face of love, any reason is not enough to block, but will be more intense. However, when she found out Ah Cao's feelings for Xiao Yun, she actually endured herself and even retreated.
What is this for? Perhaps only Aya herself understands the answer, and this answer is related to Acao's life experience. "Sister Aya!" Ah Cao saw Aya, and suddenly the grievance full of grievances turned into tears, burst out of her eyes, and then pounced on Aya.
Aya habitually opened her arms and hugged Acao tightly. For some reason, a kind of maternal tenderness melted the diaphragm in their hearts, perhaps the same blood, making them inherently inseparable from each other.
For Aya, Grass is a part of her. Why? Because Cua's flesh is a drop of her blood fused with the fountain of life. Of course, her spirit came from a distant snow-capped mountain, an ancient lost elf.
Xiao Yun didn't know that in fact, among all the secrets of the Withered Leaf Clan, life was the most dazzling and mysterious among them.
The three elders of the withered leaf clan, Agung is of course a gifted god, that is his foresight ability. His position as a prophet was unshakable, but the other two Lunji and Sambo were indistinguishable. Even Sambo has come from behind over the years, while Longji has retreated step by step, but Longji has a little magical power, which even Agung can't compare, that is, life creation.
To be precise, Longi and Samber go to two extremes, one makes life decay, and the other makes decay regenerate and shine.
There are countless lost souls in the distant snow-capped mountains, they are ancient undead elves, but time is too long, even the elves will be gradually worn out, and eventually turn into rotten spirits.
Born on the earth and returning to the earth, born in nothingness and returning to nothingness, this may be the eternal law of the universe. However, there is a supernatural power that can change the trajectory of life. With blood and the fountain of life, re-endow with new life, this magical power is probably not done by anyone in the entire continent, unless it is a legendary god, but let Longji get it.
Of course, everything has a price, making people rotten in exchange for their own strength, said Samber. While giving new life to others, he also makes himself gradually decay, which is Longji.
In the past, Longi's strength made even Agung have to rely on him, but now he can't even compare to the newborn Samber. Longi's obsession with life magic has caused him to lose his vitality, and if it weren't for Agung's strict prohibition of his research, perhaps he would have paid an even heavier price for his own way.
Some people may wonder if Agung is Aya's father, so who is Aya's mother? Aya has no mother, only a father. To be precise, he was not created by Agung, although he had the blood of Agung, but he was actually created by Longi. This is one of the achievements that Longi is proud of, and of course Acao is also a work that Longi is proud of.
Aya was created with the blood of Agung, and Acao was created with the blood of Aya. In the Withered Leaf Clan, except for the three masters and Aya, no one knows the details.
"Silly girl, what's wrong with you?" Aya softly comforted Acao. In Aya's heart, there is still a secret hidden, about Acao. Ah Cao's appearance is different from many people in this world, why is this so, in fact, this stems from Aya's dream, a very strange dream.
Aya in the dream, looking in the mirror at the lake, saw her phantom, it was a beautiful woman, not tall, but extremely delicate, with incomparably beautiful and innocent, but finally turned into a bubble in the sun......
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this is the phantom of life. Ah Cao can only reproduce for a maximum of eighteen years, and on the next full moon day, she will eventually turn into a shadow and disappear without a trace.
It was precisely because she understood her fate that Aya was extremely pitiful, even though she couldn't restrain a trace of jealousy in her heart, but in the end she chose to forbear. Even Aya can't bear to hurt such a delicate and beautiful life, she is like a meteor in the sky, with all the light and heat, she has long been gorgeous and brilliant.
"Did he hurt you?" Aya muttered.
"No!" Ahcao lay on Aya's chest, shaking her head.
"Silly girl, do you still love him?"
"......," Grass nodded.
"Love will make you burn faster, and in the end you will be like a torch, illuminating others but destroying yourself, why bother?" Aya sighed deeply.
"I'm willing to give everything for him, but he ......"
"You may be wrong, he's not that kind of person. ”
"But I see ......"
"What you see is not true. Aya didn't know how to persuade, the only thing that could convince Acao was this reason. "In fact, what he really loves in his heart is you. ”
"Really?" Ahsa raised her pretty eyes and looked at Aya.
"Of course, you are so beautiful, who wants to bear to hurt you?" Aya stroked Ah Cao's hair with great tenderness. At this moment, what is emerging in her heart is completely motherly warmth, like a real sister embracing her sister.
"I don't believe anyone, miss, I only believe you. Aya's face disappeared in an instant, and she burst into a smile, revealing an incomparably bright smile.
"What, do you call me Miss again? Don't call me Sister anymore?" Aya jokingly scratched Acao's nose.
"Miss is sister, sister is miss. Aya replied with a smile, pulled Aya and said, "Miss, I have introduced you, Xiaohu is out!" turned around and shouted at the void.
The shadow of the spirit tiger flashed in front of their eyes. "Look, this is Xiaohu, Xiao Yun calls him Ah Hu. He's having fun, miss, let's try riding it together?"
When the spirit tiger appeared, Aya was stunned, although in her life video, she had witnessed Ah Cao and Xiao Yun riding a divine beast walking in the moonlight jungle together, but she had never seen a real spirit tiger. At first glance, I was really shocked.
"Miss, don't be afraid, it's Xiao Yun's pet, it won't do anything to you and me!" Ah Cao said this, and seemed to have completely forgotten that Linghu had made her suffer a big loss, as if Linghu had become her pet, and stroked Linghu's back very kindly.
"Hmm" Aya tried to stretch out her hand towards Linghu with a glittering gaze, but Linghu subconsciously shrank back, and finally did not resist her touch. The next moment, the two women turned over and walked towards the endless jungle, and the crisp laughter rippled in the depths of the woodland.....
