Chapter 20: The Polar Divide

When Jiuyou woke up, there was a mirror in front of him.

Different from the brass mirror in her room in Yinghua Courtyard, this mirror is exceptionally clear, and she can be pleasantly surprised to find that the person in front of her has the same face as herself.

When she was a child, adults praised her the most, she was beautiful and cute, and her parents were praised a lot, so they had high hopes for her and sent her to learn to dance until she was admitted to the dance academy.

Later, because she had difficulty finding a job, she simply became a game anchor according to her interests and hobbies.

She has lived alone for many years, but she didn't expect that she would suddenly ......

But the good thing is that everything in front of us, although unreal, is a different degree of reality. After the surprise, she did not forget her mission, and nervously entered the mode of searching for the abyss.

Jiuyou walked to the door and couldn't wait to open the door, but she was greeted by maple leaves and snowflakes.

The door was clearly divided into two sides, and there was a dividing line between her feet. On the left, the red wall and brown tiles, the maple leaves are swirling; On the right, it was snowing heavily and the wind was bittersweet.

She was shocked by the scene of autumn and winter, looked at the boots on her feet, made up her mind, and took a step forward.

The red maple leaves and the white snowflakes suddenly intertwined to form a whirlpool, and she stood in the center of the whirlpool, the scene in front of her was changing wildly, and she could capture very little information.

The maple leaves and snowflakes are mixed with the cold wind, and everything is a fierce and cold element. She was forced to get involved, unable to stand still, and was scratched on the cheek by the maple leaf.

Eventually, because she was injured, Maple "defeated" the snowflakes, and the divided season was unified, and the whirlpool disappeared.

She fell heavily to the ground, but fortunately there was a thick layer of maple leaves on the ground, and although she was thinly dressed, she was not too badly injured.

She rubbed her elbows and got up with a wrinkled face, and as she looked around, she suddenly saw a man appear on the stone table in the corner.

The man was dressed in a gold dress with a red background, but in front of him was a plate with steaming chicken legs.

The man slowly tore off the chicken thighs and put them on the plate, and his hands moved gracefully like white jade, like a light undress, and like combing long hair.

Jiuyou watched the man's movements in amazement and walked in front of the man step by step. The man finally finished peeling the chicken thighs, and his spotlessly clean fingers pushed the plate in the direction of Jiuyou, and then looked up.

Jiuyou finally saw his face clearly.

- More like the abyss than the abyss.

To be precise, this face is more mature than the current childish Shen Yuan. The eyes are more determined and the jaw line is more defined. What remains unchanged is the basis for recognizing him as Shen Yuan, is his clear and smooth facial features.

His hand was also much bigger than Shen Yuan's, and seeing Jiuyou looking at him for a long time, he reached out and grabbed her, let her sit on his lap, and fed her chicken thighs.

It's strange that in this case, Shen Yuan didn't feed her grapes or drink wine, but ate meat so down-to-earth.

Could it be that she used to snatch too much chicken thighs peeled by Shen Yuan, but now she has a dream, and the dream alludes to reality, making her reflect on whether her behavior is too much.

"Have you eaten enough?"

Shen Yuan suddenly spoke, seeing that she was stunned, he reached out and picked her chin, wiped his thumb on her rosy lips, and stared at her lips with beautiful eyes.

She pursed her lips nervously, and after a brief gradient of white, pink to red, her lips returned to their rosiness.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan chuckled, and when he raised his eyes and looked at Jiuyou, Jiuyou knew for the first time the real expression of the word "charming eyes like silk".

His eyes were long and flat, with only the light brown eyeballs in the middle rising like hills.

After having a wide fan, most of the time the Nine Friends Royal Fan flew, and the height above her head was about the shoulder of Shen Yuan, so that she could see his mountain-like eyes when she tilted her head slightly to look at Shen Yuan.

She may have paid more attention to these eyes than Shen Yuan herself, because she clearly remembered that the Immortal Emperor easily gouged out Shen Yuan's eyes and said lightly: "Take them to make the spring of the Stygian Sea."

So the Stygian Sea seems to have become a sea of tears in the abyss, day and night, the water flows endlessly, just like the abyss tears do not stop.

And the Emperor of the Underworld did this not to take revenge, but simply because "his life should be like this".

Where there is any fate, she firmly believes that things are man-made.

He was about to take this opportunity to warn him that he must beware of all those who are interested in his eyes, because it is likely that they are the marauders sent by the Immortal Emperor. When Jiuyou opened her lips slightly, Shen Yuan suddenly approached, and her lips were imprinted on her face, where she was scratched by the maple leaf.

The cold weather made her feel no pain after being scratched. But after being kissed by Shen Yuan, a fine and dense pain crawled all over his cheeks.

She subconsciously reached out and wanted to touch it, but stopped in mid-air, and when Shen Yuan's face approached again, she gave him a slap.

Shen Yuan turned around and looked at her thoughtfully. Not to be outdone, she stubbornly looked at him.

The afterglow hit the red marks on Shen Yuan's face, and she gradually lacked confidence. I wanted to ask him if it hurt, but he couldn't open his mouth.

"Punish you...... Let's stay alone tonight. ”

Shen Yuan Huo Ran got up, and Jiuyou, who was sitting on his lap, rolled to the ground. After getting up from the maple leaf ground again, Jiuyou patted his clothes, looked at Shen Yuan, who left with the next sentence, and thought faintly: Come out, Xiao Shenyuan, play the domineering president with me in your dream?

She chased after him angrily, grabbed Shen Yuan's sleeve, dragged him over, faced her, and wanted to ask him what was wrong, but she found a terrible reality: she seemed to be speechless.

Hell, she couldn't talk in her dreams? So how can she tell Shen Yuan that she is Jiuyou, his little junior sister? The Shen Abyss in front of him didn't seem to be able to distinguish her like in the memory beads at all, and even this time Shen Yuan had changed.

Shen Yuan seemed to wait patiently for her to speak, but the corners of his mouth gradually raised a teasing smile.

Several servants with blurred faces passed by, and after saluting Shen Yuan, they secretly glanced at Jiuyou before leaving quickly.

"The girl is finally willing to come out, but unfortunately the weather is bad, and the general is about to leave again."

"Yes, the general has brought the girl back for so long, and before the girl can give him a good face, the two of them will be separated. Alas, creation makes people! ”

I don't know why the servants suddenly talked about the master so loudly, seeing that the person in front of him used Shen Yuan's face to show an expression that Shen Yuan couldn't do at all, Jiuyou suddenly deflated.

Who arranged this kind of plot? Is it okay to return her normal abyss?

"If you don't want to talk anymore, just wait until the winter is over, and I'll talk about it when I get rid of the demons."

Shen Yuan smiled and touched Jiuyou's face, and in order to accommodate her height, he deliberately bent down so that he could look at her.

Jiuyou felt that her face didn't hurt anymore, and Shen Yuan's hand was also warm, which made her wonder: Is this Shen Yuan okay?

Jiuyou grabbed Shen Yuan's sleeve, and the gold dust firefly suddenly appeared, and spelled out a few words with gold dust: I want to go with you.

"No, you can't." Shen Yuan closed his eyes and shook his index finger at Jiuyou a few times, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already serious.

"It's your mission to stay at home and wait for me. What does mission mean? It's you who have to listen to me. ”

When it was over, Shen Yuan tucked Jiuyou's long hair behind his shoulders and stroked her smooth forehead.

Jiuyou could see him clean his stubble chin, and seemed to stop briefly in front of her eyes before moving away.

She didn't get nervous for long before the beautiful atmosphere disappeared.

This made her frustrated and disappointed, grabbed Shen Yuan's belt, buried her head in Shen Yuan's arms, and after a moment of hesitation, he also hugged her shoulder.

Come back obediently.

Gold-dusted fireflies spelled out new words.

"Okay."

Shen Yuan replied.

***

Jiuyou is determined to become a qualified actor, the kind without scripts or spoilers.

After countless circles in the past few days in the "home", that is, the general's mansion, and listening to countless corners, she finally figured out a timeline.

She was picked up from outside by Shen Yuan.

— the same as reality.

Shen Yuan's identity is the Demon Eradication General, and the place where she was picked up is in the north, in an unknown time and space.

- I don't know why.

She is a mute girl, the kind she was born with, and the fortune teller thinks she has a catastrophic physique, the kind that overcomes everyone around her.

- If the original book is ultimately repeated, this prophecy seems to have some truth. After all, only Jiuyu survived, and the other main characters died.

But Shen Yuan's setting is auspicious and good luck, he also loves to wear red and gold clothes, and likes to smile and greet people.

- I can't imagine that Shen Yuan is treated as a koi, just like how to hide fire in water.

But Shen Yuan, as a demon general, does not blink an eye, so he is deeply loved by the people, and when he appears, bold girls will throw flowers at him to express their love.

- both secular and reasonable.

After analyzing the current situation, Jiuyou vaguely realized that the mysterious person did all this to let her experience something, or to get something by completing the task.

Although everything about the mysterious man is unknown, judging from the fact that he (she) sent her to Shen Yuan and provided her with props (gold dust fireflies), everything is not so simple, and she can't think of a purpose yet.

But Jiuyou believes that her own goal should be sober from beginning to end, that is, to take Shen Yuan back.

Combined with what Su Weijun said, at the bottom of the pond, the speed of time passing is extremely slow, if she is in the time gap at the bottom of the pool, obediently listen to the words of the mysterious person, complete the task, and be able to take the abyss, so why not come to this trip?

She lived quietly and lonely in the General's Mansion until the maple leaves were almost gone, and when people rushed to tell each other that the first snow had fallen, Shen Yuan's letter from home was finally delivered.

The carrier pigeon returning from the demon world, the gold dust fireflies on the tail feathers spelled out four words: the main danger, don't read it.

She looked at these four words blankly for a long time, and finally remembered to let the pigeon go.

She sat on the stone bench where Shen Yuan had fed her chicken thighs that day, and touched her cheek.

The cold touch made her look at her fingertips in disbelief, and she also made up her mind at this time, and secretly set off to the Demon Realm to find Shen Yuan back.
