At night, Jixiang Mountain is exceptionally quiet, and the decaying atmosphere from the secluded north has not invaded the pure land of the back mountain. Zhao Tianlan leaned under a tree by the lake, quietly feeling the deep desire in her heart.

What is it? Is it the feeling of leaving the secluded land and returning to the homeland of the ancestors, or is it ...... It's still the innocent smiling face of the Tangtang girl.

Perhaps, it is neither, and he is just accepting inner torture and looking for the purification of the power of nature.

"Purify? Ridiculous, your hands are stained with the blood of the human race, you ask yourself, are you worthy of her? Even if you are brazen to pursue her, will she accept you like this?" Sabo's face became clearer and clearer in his mind, and Zhao Tianlan knew that it was not Sabo, it was just his own inner demon.

"If you want to save Mu Yuncheng, it's nothing more than your means to curry favor with Mu Tangtang. But you have to know that if you do this, you are likely to put your own life into it, for an ethereal Terran girl who has no feelings for you, do you think it is worth it?" The inner questioning became more and more intense, Zhao Tianlan closed his eyes tightly, and the sweat on his forehead fell.

"No, I'm not expecting Miss Tangtang's gratitude, I'm just going to fulfill my promise!" he began to strengthen his conviction and began to fight back.

"Oh, yes, have you taken every promise seriously? and Mu Tangtang's promise, can it be compared to the oath of allegiance to the King of Linyuan?"

"I didn't turn my back on King Linyuan, I just wanted to exchange myself for Mu Yuncheng. ”

"In exchange for Mu Yuncheng, you have also seen the torture he is suffering now, don't say that the person who wants Wuri is not you, even if you are scorched by the fire of the demon flame every day, and the whipping of the bloody poisonous whip, can you really stand it?"

The picture in the mind of "I ......" suddenly shattered, and the real scene in front of me began to gradually become clear.

To be an enemy of Wusun is to be an enemy of the entire demon race, is it really worth it to do it yourself?

My thoughts seemed to return to the night when I was imprisoned in the camp of the dynasty army, and in the huge tent, there was only myself and the moonlight pouring from the window.

......

The iron chains cast from pig iron locked Zhao Tianlan's hands and feet, and he was almost out of breath when he lost all his internal strength. Standing up straight, his legs had already changed from tingling, sore, and swollen to unconscious.

Zhao Tianlan, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, would never beg for anything from the imperial army, and would rather break his hands and feet than surrender on his knees.

Bursts of vicious laughter sounded from outside the tent, and several sinister and ill-intentioned dynasty soldiers strode in. They seemed to know Zhao Tianlan's identity, and the soldiers in charge of guarding the barracks planned to tease him at night, and even wanted to feed him the food mixed with saliva and urine. When they couldn't open their mouths, they hit Zhao Tianlan's body with their fists, grabbed his hair, and jammed his neck, trying in vain to use these methods to make him open his mouth and eat their humiliating food.

Zhao Tianlan, who would rather die than give in, was exhausted under the tricks of these soldiers, and at the last moment when his consciousness remained, the person who saved him appeared......

When she woke up, the moon was still like water, so she squatted on the ground and drew strange patterns on the sand with branches.

Seeing Zhao Tianlan wake up, she smiled, handed the prepared water bladder to his lips, and nodded to indicate that the water was safe.

"Thank you......" This seems to be the first sentence Zhao Tianlan said since he was captured.

Her large, bright eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of surprise, "Your voice is so magnetic, it's so good." ”

But I didn't know that it was hoarse under extreme thirst, and it was shyness that I hadn't spoken for a long time.

"My name is Mu Tangtang, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

For a while, the empty tent was filled with the joy of dancing stars, as if a ray of sunshine pierced through the darkness and cast a beam of light in Zhao Tianlan's cloud-shrouded world.

His eyes widened, and he looked at the Terran girl incredulously. She is so pure and kind, and she is as lively as a mountain stream, bringing infinite vitality to her world.

"You, why don't you hate me......" He thought she didn't know her identity, otherwise what human would help a demon like this?

Mu Tangtang blinked his eyes, and his head shook like a rattle: "You are different from them, you are human." I heard Brother Yi Yue say, you are the descendant of Zhao Lingfei, and my surname is Mu, the descendant of Mu Wuwu, speaking of which, our ancestors still have a relationship!"

He gave up the last of his defenses, and his gaze softened.

"You must be hungry, I'll go get you something to eat. She stood up suddenly, and walked briskly towards the outside of the tent, but as soon as she stepped half a step over the threshold, she turned back and said, "I will transfer my men to watch over you, and I will not let the soldiers who want to humiliate you come near this tent." ”

Since he was born, Zhao Tianlan has not experienced the taste of being cared for, he knows that he is just a tool of the King of Linyuan, and tools do not need sympathy and warmth. No one has ever really given themselves affection, they either ostracize themselves because of their race or they avoid them because of fear.

Like this, put yourself in your shoes, Mu Tangtang is the first. He only felt that she in front of him was the brightest star in the night sky of Rover City, the most cheerful and lively elf in the frozen snow forest, beauty, cuteness, and kindness were not enough to decorate her, she was a unique existence.

"Mu, Miss Mu. He suddenly realized his rudeness and took the initiative to speak to someone as a prisoner, which was extremely disrespectful to the other party. In Youzhou, such prisoners will be punished extremely cruelly.

"Well, I'm not gone yet, you name it. She retracted her legs, her petite body swaying from side to side, as if she was a child waiting for her parents' orders, and the next moment she was going to rush out to play with her friends.

"No, it's okay...... I'm not hungry, you can go back and rest. He didn't dare to ask for anything, he just didn't want to affect her because of it.

However, Mu Tangtang seemed to sense something, just smiled, and then turned around and walked out. Since then, Mu Tangtang has come here every day to accompany him, and I don't know if it is out of sympathy or feelings, after all, she has also been captured by the demons, so she can understand Zhao Tianlan's mood the most. Although it is said that each is its master, but after contact, she still feels that Zhao Tianlan is kind-natured, but she grew up in Youzhou and developed the habit of being taciturn, which in the eyes of outsiders, it is inevitable that she feels that her character is indifferent.

Only Mu Tangtang has always felt that he will become friends with himself and return to his own world.
