Chapter 101: He's Watching You from Behind
Yuan Xi ran with her skirt, the dungeon was cold all year round, the yin wind gusted, the cold wind gusted, blowing on her face, like a knife, but Yuan Xi didn't realize it.
Her heart was hot.
Those things that were once unknown are all evidence that Emperor Xudu likes her.
- Silently accompanied her for four years, spring, summer, autumn and winter, when she was seriously preparing for the exam, when she envied the reunion of others, when she thought she was alone, it turned out that she was not empty behind her at that time, it turned out that the Emperor Xudu had been secretly accompanying her, and she was never alone.
- I have suffered more than forty heavenly punishments that are enough to extract a little immortal god bone, but I have never told her. She had questioned him so many times, she had thought that he didn't like it and played with her feelings and wanted to break the net with him, obviously he could have said it at that time, if she knew this, why did she still have those doubts? But he would rather suffer alone, heal silently alone, but he has never said a word to her2.
- He once believed her unconditionally when she was most unconvinced after she came to the underworld, and he agreed with almost all her opinions, and she also made many wrong decisions because of her inexperience, but he never criticized her, but only solved them silently.
- It was he who stood by Jiang Shan's side when she was in conflict with her.
- It was he who said that she was a reformer, so she could decide everything in the underworld.
But he never said a word, never handed over a word of injustice.
Why.
Why.
Yuan Xi ran faster and faster, faster and faster, and finally pinched the magic trick, shrunk the ground into inches, and rushed to the door of the Xudu Hall like a gust of wind.
The magnificent and magnificent Xudu Hall stands at the top of Xudu Mountain, which is the highest place in the underworld, and it is also the beginning of Yuan Xi's succession as a reform official.
Yuan Xi stood at the door of the main hall of Xudu.
If she had a heart, then her heart must be beating wildly right now. Every cell in his body seemed to be burning, shouting, Yuan Xi took a deep breath, and couldn't help but tremble.
She mustered up her courage and stepped into the main hall of Xudu.
ββOn the table of the Xudu Palace, there is a thick stack of documents, and the Emperor of Xudu is behind that stack of documents.
The yin qi in the hall was like a pet, and the moment Yuan Xi walked into the door, it was like seeing the master, and a few wisps of yin qi rubbed the corners of Yuan Xi's clothes affectionately.
If it was before, Yuan Xi would definitely look at it with his eyes down, and then he couldn't help but tease.
But now her heart is very chaotic, her mind is full of the words that Shen Tu said, and the past flashes in her mind.
Yin Qi felt her coming, and Ting Yan naturally felt it too.
It's just that he took the documents too seriously, and he didn't seem to raise his head consciously until Yuan Xi stood in the hall for a while.
He was originally frowning, but the moment he raised his head, a smile appeared on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and the cold atmosphere in the hall suddenly dissolved, and the tenderness under his dark eyes could be easily seen.
Even if it was so far away, Yuan Xi saw it.
"You're here." Ting Yan's eyes always looked in the direction of Yuan Xi, and when he saw Yuan Xi's unusual face, his brows frowned slightly, "You know everything?" β
Yuan Xi was slightly stunned, she pursed her lips and nodded, "What I just knew, it was told to me by Shendi." β
"Although he is young, he has been in the underworld for a long time, but he has always been a child, and he has played well with you, and it is just ......right for him to tell you about Wang Zhenren," Ting Yan said gently.
The clear voice sounded, and it seemed a little ethereal in the quiet hall.
Yuan Xi looked at him with a serious look, and the breath that was originally blocked in his heart seemed to be unable to hold back in an instant.
"It's not Wang Zhenren's business," Yuan Xi shook his head.
Her face was really a little frightened, there was no trace of blood, her small face seemed to be translucent, and she could almost see the blood vessels under the white jade-like face.
The whole face is only red in the eyes, and there is still a trace of blood.
The apricot eyes were filled with tears, and the crystal teardrops hung on the crow's eyelashes, like ice flowers in the snow.
She lowered her eyes, and the tears fell, and Emperor Xudu saw that there were still tears on her face.
It stands to reason that ghosts don't cry, tears are transformed by soul power, and if you cry once, you will lose a lot of soul power. And soul power is the thing that supports the existence of the soul body, if there is no soul power, the soul will be scattered, and it will completely dissipate in the world.
And this is the second time Yuan Xi has cried.
Tears come at the cost of soul power, although not actively.
The tenderness in the eyes of Emperor Xudu was instantly retracted, and the face that was originally extremely tolerant was rarely no longer tolerant, without a trace of expression, his eyes were serious, and he stood up.
Almost instantly, he was in front of Yuan Xi.
He originally wanted to say something, but when he was face to face with Yuan Xi, the pity in those apricot eyes and the easy and unrevealed liking instantly crushed him.
Ting Yan realized something in an instant.
Yuan Xi knew.
It's not Wang Zhenren's business, it's him.
And looking at the red red eyes of her crying, it is very likely that she knows everything she thinks is not worth saying.
Ting Yan secretly pulled Shen Tu into the blacklist.
Sure enough, letting that big mouth know was a wrong decision.
He closed his eyes, stretched out his fingers, and gently helped Yuan Xi wipe his tears, he couldn't pretend to be serious anymore, and his eyes and face were more gentle than just now, "Don't cry." β
The words came out with tenderness that even he hadn't noticed.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have ......" Yuan Xi choked up, barely able to utter a complete sentence.
Tears fell again.
Originally, she only shed a few tears, but she was gently coaxed by Emperor Xudu, and he wiped away the tears with his own hands, and the tears could no longer be controlled, like beads with broken threads, tears were surging desperately, Ting Yan's movements paused, and Jun's face was panicked for the first time.
He wiped her tears with one hand, and took her by the other and mended her soul.
The body is warm, but Yuan Xi's heart is not calm at all at the moment.
She threw herself into Ting Yan's arms.
Tears quickly soaked the fabric of his robe, which he still wears today, and the fabric is softer than silk.
The sound of whimpering came from his chest, muffled.
Ting Yan stretched out his other hand, landed behind her back, and gently wrapped his arms around her waist.
Yuan Xi's body was very thin, probably weak since she was a child, almost a little malnourished, but her hair was black and shiny, scattered behind her, and she was full of arms at the moment, and the fresh orange fragrance on the tips of her hair lingered between her noses.
Ting Yan's body froze slightly.
Yuan Xi's crying never stopped.
Ting Yan was afraid that she would hurt her soul body, and she had been nourishing her soul body with yin qi through her clenched hands.
"I'm afraid that after you know it, you'll only be sad, and it's just a burden for you." His voice came from overhead.
Yuan Xi also thought of this, but it was another feeling for him to say it himself.
"As long as I like you, there's no need to ask you to feel sorry for me and like me with those things."
Like you is my own thing.
This is Ting Yan.
What don't you know? Of course, she knew that Ting Yan had always been this kind of character, and he would rather arrange everything himself than tell her a penny.
His liking is not selfish.
But Yuan Xi hoped that he could be selfish with himself.
"Those things, speaking of which, at that time, were also wishful thinking on my part, and at that time, there was divine punishment, and I moved my mortal heart, and I really deserved to be punished by heaven. You don't know anything at that time. β
"That's my mistake, there's no need for you to know, it will only add to your burden, and then ...... Later, when we were together, there was no need to tell you, but it was just something about old sesame seeds and rotten grain, so I wouldn't take it out and talk about it. β
"As I thought, it will only make you more troubled, and if you regret it because of this, I will only feel distressed."
Yuan Xi shook his head in his arms, "No, no, it's not like this." β
"Before I confessed to you, I always thought that you were using me as a stand-in for some drought girl, and I thought you didn't like me at all, so I was so disrespectful to you, and said so many rebellious things...... If you had known those things a long time ago...... Yuan Xi suddenly paused, and then couldn't help choking up, took a deep breath, and then came to his senses, "Actually, it's also my fault, I was too immature at that time." β
Obviously, there was no need to make that step, but at that time, Yuan Xi had never liked others, and stubbornly thought that Emperor Xudu was using her as a stand-in.
If she was a mature adult, there were obviously so many better solutions, but she chose the most extreme one at that time.
It was so naΓ―ve that something that could have been solved by sitting at a table and talking a few words peacefully almost ended up in a dead end.
"I don't blame you." The scent of orange lingers on the tip of her nose, and the faint aroma is like the first sip of soda in the throat of summer, she seems gentle, but in fact it is warm.
"I didn't care about any reputation at that time, which led to the opportunity for the drought girl to take advantage of it, relying on the fact that I never cared about it, so I wantonly spread rumors. I didn't expect you to like me, and I didn't expect that those little things that you didn't care about would make you so sad, blame me, blame me. β
The big hand brushed the smooth hair, and Yuan Xi's crying finally stopped.
Tears are something that damages the soul, even if she has yin energy, it is inevitable that she will be injured, and if she is another ghost, she may have to cultivate well. Fortunately, Tingyan helped her nourish her soul body, so Yuan Xi just felt a little physically and mentally exhausted at the moment, as if she was tired of crying.
Other than that, there was no other discomfort.
Ting Yan sighed lightly and said, "Don't cry in the future, it will damage the soul body." β
He would only comfort her dryly, always doing more than talking.
Yuan Xi's mood calmed down, and he didn't want to fight with him anymore about the result of your right or wrong.
"I've also heard about Wang Zhenren." Yuan Xi raised his head, there were still some tears on his palm-sized face, and his face was so white that it glowed delicately, like a fine mutton fat white jade, Xu had just cried, the tail of his eyes and the tip of his nose were slightly red, and his originally holy face had a little bit of pity on his face.
Ting Yan's heart moved slightly, and he blinked his eyes before he drove the red lips out of his mind, and his breathing unconsciously became a little heavier.
"Hmm."
"I already knew that he would tell you that Wang Zhenren is also a poor person."
Yuan Xi sighed with a sigh, "It seems that none of the ghost emperors in the underworld have a good past life, and five people can't make up a complete life." β
"If you don't die, you can't die, you can't become a god." Ting Yan said that he had seen countless people's lives in the Great Dao, and he had seen almost any suffering, and it was not unheard of that it was worse than these ghost emperors, but the choice of the ghost emperor was not more miserable, it was a chance, and it was also because of themselves. The underworld chose them to be the ghost emperor, not because of how bitter they were, so they had to give them the right to command all the ghosts in the underworld.
It's that even though they've endured that kind of suffering, their hearts are still pure.
Just like Zhou Qi, his more than ten years are so twisted and perverted, after his death, he has enough power to avenge and kill many people, if he wants, after death, he can even build a ancestral hall for himself, relying on the faith of the people to soar into a god. But he didn't, even with that terrifying power, he never took the initiative to harm anyone, except for the initiator, he never killed anyone by mistake, and he never held anyone high.
And Wang Zhenren is the same, his whole life has been upside down, throughout his more than 30 years of life, only when he was young, he can be regarded as a freshly dressed angry horse, and he is young. Later, he became the target of public criticism, slandered by his classmates who once cherished him, sent to prison by the people's petition, and later praised the torture into a trick. But he never thought of taking revenge on anyone, and even after his death, he gave all his treasures to a few outlaws in prison.
If he has the slightest resentment, he will miss the opportunity to become the Ghost Emperor. Based on his experience, if he has grievances after death, he can become a powerful ghost, but after he dies, his soul is still pure and there is no trace of resentment, and it is precisely because of this that he can become the fifth ghost emperor in the underworld.
To be able to become a ghost of the Ghost Emperor, it must be an extremely clean soul.
If you don't get into the mud, you can't pick the noble lotus.
There are also many opportunities in the underworld, and some people have a miserable life and are miserable, if they can get through it, the opportunities in the underworld may be waiting for them.
But many people missed this opportunity, and many people became powerful ghosts, with countless blood on their hands, and they could no longer have the opportunity to have an underworld.
Yuan Xi sighed, she remembered herself, she was also one of the miserable ones.
Then she thought of Zhou Qi, who was chic and always liked to show people in women's clothes, Wang Zhenren, who looked a little pedantic on weekdays but was kinder than anyone else, and Shen Tu, who was as arrogant as a stinky child...... They have suffered a hundred times more than she had ever suffered, but they are still pure, and even the tigers have their own merits.
Yuan Xi loosened Tingyan's waist.
At this time, I finally realized the shyness, my face was covered with a bit of pink, and a touch of blush climbed up the tips of my ears.
She distanced herself from him as if she had let go of a hot potato.
At this time, she found that Emperor Xudu had been holding her hand, and her face suddenly turned a little red.
In a panic, Ting Yan held her hand, in order to repair her missing soul power, and just a few minutes ago, he stopped, but he never let go, and simply held her hand.
After Yuan Xi saw it, the blush on his face did not fade for a long time.
"Let go, let go, I'm leaving, I discussed with Shen Di to go to Wang Zhenren."
Her eyelashes quivered, like butterfly wings, her wings swept past the tip of her heart, setting off the slightest itch.
As if he had just seen him holding Yuan Xi's hand, Ting Yan moved his fingertips, and only let go of her after a few seconds.
"Go ahead."
Ting Yan turned around very decisively.
Yuan Xi also turned around.
The barrage silently watched the netizens who were in love with the little couple silent.
[Born as bright as the moonlight: secretly watching the interaction of young couples, knocking is earning! ] γ
[Isn't there still me: Hahaha, after watching it for a long time, I didn't dare to speak, I felt like it would disturb them. Although I am a fan of the Emperor, I really bless, after all, Yuan Xi is what I have watched grow up with my own eyes, and I agree with this family business! γ
[Butterfly flapping wings: kissed? Kissed? I'm going to thank you for all the flowers I've been waiting for! I watched you two confess together! Don't kiss one to help the fun! I've got my share of the money! γ
[I'm waiting for you: according to the progress of the couple, they are really slow. It's obviously not a long-distance relationship, it's better than a long-distance relationship! Which little couple doesn't see each other once in ten days and half a month, and when they meet, they are so shy that they both run away! γ
There really is no such couple.
Yuan Xi has never been in love, and I don't know how people talk about it.
But when she talked about it, she had a lot of concerns, between them, not only the heavy responsibility of the underworld, but also the inequality of status, even if Ting Yan was gentle enough and tolerant enough, it seemed that Yuan Xi was also lawless.
But Yuan Xi is too unequal to him.
She didn't know what kind of past he had, nor what kind of road he had walked, all she knew about him was just the tip of the iceberg when they got along, and what others said.
As long as he is willing to hide it, he has too many things that Yuan Xi doesn't know.
For example, he used to be attracted a long time ago, and secretly liked a lot, and for example, those ancient secrets in his and Yu Lei's mouths, if he didn't want to tell her, she wouldn't know.
Both of them said that they were good to her, and she was not uninformed, and believed that they were there to protect her, but this only made her feel a sense of vanity hanging in the air.
Yuan Xi had tried his best to forget about it.
She learns from what happened last time and wants to be a mature person.
Yuan Xi found Wang Zhenren's office, and sure enough, in the office, he saw Shen Di.
Yuan Xi knocked on the door and walked in.
