Yuliu expects Xuanqing to immediately say the answer to this question, and she hopes that Xuanqing will always keep this secret until the years have smoothed out all hopes and expectations.
She was so conflicted and nervous that she unconsciously played with the empty flask in her hand.
Xuan Qing didn't answer her question directly, but said in a calm tone: "There will only be one seven-tailed bird in the world. ”
It's a statement, not a question.
Fish Six continues to play with the flask in his hand, as if the flask hides a secret that needs to be solved.
"But you know what?" Xuan Qing looked straight at Yu Liu, paused for a moment and continued, "The seven-tailed Luan bird is hermaphroditic. ”
The movements on Yu Liu's hand stopped, and the wine jug held tightly in her hand trembled slightly, but she finally didn't say a word.
"A hundred years ago, I met Qingluan, and she told me the secret of the seven-tailed luanbird, and told me that one day after that, a merman named Yuliu would find me and ask me about her."
"She also said that I can only tell you these things after I have completed the Great Prophecy."
"Did he tell you anything else?"
"Of course, she told me a story about how she fell in love with someone she shouldn't love and made a mistake she shouldn't have made."
Yuliu smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that for him, it was a mistake to meet me?" ”
"It's not the same thing, feelings are never wrong, what is wrong can only be decisions." Xuan Qing said in a deep voice, "For him, after all, he has to shoulder the responsibility of reproducing. ”
"No matter who you meet or what you go through, you will eventually turn back into a female body and give birth to a new life."
"When you met him, was he converted?" Yuliu asked tremblingly.
Xuan Qing nodded: "That's right, she's pregnant." ”
With a "clang", the wine jug in Yu Liu's hand slipped down and slammed on the table, attracting the attention of everyone in the tavern.
The shopkeeper also hurriedly trotted over and asked repeatedly: "Guest officer, the villain is not well entertained, please forgive me." ”
"It's okay, you go down." Xuan Qing waved his hand towards the shopkeeper, and put another gold ingot on the table, and the shopkeeper hurriedly put it away sensibly, nodded and left.
Although the store left, there was no shortage of diners in the store who had good deeds, and they kept glancing at this side, and even a man who was five big and three thick got up and walked directly to Yu Liu, put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Is there anything troublesome about the girl?" You might as well talk to Uncle Ben, and Uncle Ben will help you solve your problems. ”
"Take your hands away." Yu Liu said coldly.
"Ouch, the chick is quite individual, and the uncle likes to have a personality, the more unruly she is, the more enjoyable she is." The man smiled lewdly, and reached out to lift the veil of Yu Liu, and the next moment, his movements stood still along with the surrounding time and space.
Yu Liu didn't pay any attention to this man, looked at Xuan Qing at the opposite table through the veil, and asked the last question.
"Does he regret it?"
Xuan Qing smiled and said, "She really knows you, so she guessed that you would ask this question." ”
"She said she regretted it."
"I see." Yu Liu's voice was a little lonely.
"You know what?" Xuan Qing shook her fingers and continued, "You don't know. ”
"She never regrets meeting you, nor does she regret falling in love with you, she only regrets one thing, and that is that she chose the ethnic group and not you." Xuan Qing Road.
Yu Liu was silent for a long time, and suddenly chuckled, and then couldn't stop laughing.
In Xuanqing's ears, Yu Liu's laughter was even more bleak.
"Maybe this is the punishment of the gods for my mermaids." Yuliu finally stopped laughing and muttered to himself.
"For the seven-tailed luanbird, why not?" Xuan Qing sighed lightly.
"I'm done with my questions, I'm leaving." Yuroku stood up.
Xuan Qing still sat in the same place, and said casually: "Please." ”
"Thank you for the wine." Yu Liu turned his back to Xuan Qing and left a sentence.
"No thanks." Xuan Qing Road.
Yuroku walked to the door of the tavern and stopped.
She turned around slowly, and Xuan Qing was surprised to see a little sparkle on her chin.
Yu Liu gently twisted this tear, and with a flick of his fingers, a crystal clear and bright merman tear flew straight towards Xuanqing.
Xuan Qing grasped the merman's tears, he looked at Yu Liu with an unbelievable gaze, and the other party just threw down a sentence coldly: "This is your reward, the transaction is completed, and the two will be cleared from now on." ”
Yu Liu said goodbye and immediately turned around.
Xuan Qing clutched the merman's tears tightly, feeling the slightest coolness constantly flowing from his palm to his limbs, he said to Yu Liu's back: "Not long ago, I saw her daughter. ”
"Looks like you."
Yu Liu's back seemed to pause, but it didn't seem to be. The moment she left the restaurant, everything was back to normal.
It's just that the man is still standing motionless at the table, his hands hanging in the air, a pose ready to lift something.
Xuan Qing sighed and shook his head, put down a gold ingot on the table and got up to leave the hotel.
Whether that man is dead or alive, the demon doesn't know. She could only leave the tavern with the Xuan Qing in her memory and walk towards the inn where Luan'er lived.
There were still a lot of people at the door of the inn, and the demon was standing beside Xuan Qing boredly, and at this time, someone suddenly was behind her and patted her on the shoulder.
The demon turned his head, it was the old Xuanqing.
"I'm running out of time, it's time to leave." The old man Xuan Qing smiled.
The demon nodded subconsciously, and the next moment she appeared again in the void.
"I'll take you away." Xuan Qing Road.
"Senior, can I ask you a few questions?"
"We still have some way to go, and you can ask whatever you want in the meantime." Xuan Qing winked at the demon and added, "You don't need to pay me anything. ”
"Luan'er is Qingluan's daughter?"
"That's right."
"Is Luan'er also a dioecist?"
"Naturally, it's just that she fell in love with a man, and she chose to show her female face at the beginning."
"Does the ink painting know this?"
"I didn't tell him, and I don't think he knows."
"Did the seniors also love Luan'er?" The demon stopped and asked.
Xuan Qing also stopped, he looked at the demon with a serious face, and shook his head with a smile: "It's been so long, what's the difference between love and not love?" ”
"I just think there are some things that can't be buried by time." The demon said seriously, "No matter how long it has been, even if the loved one is no longer there, love should be eternal. ”
"No matter when and where, when it is mentioned again, love should be beautiful, what it was like when we first met."
Xuan Qing stared at the demon in a daze, and after being silent for a long time, he finally spoke slowly: "Before I met her again, I never believed in love at first sight. ”
