Chapter 232: Exploding Thunder
It turns out that there is a fifth person in this room!
Be...... The Blood Clan Saint King is endless!
I forgot to breathe as if I had been electrocuted, and my lord and lady half turned and froze on the ground, and I could only see the snow-white and frozen half of their faces—it seemed that they were like me, and I did not know when the Holy King had been hiding here.
"The Holy King, no one has passed it on, it is really rude, and I hope that the Holy King will ......" The lady was tactful and supple, reacted quickly, and spoke.
Standing in front of the curtain by the window, the Holy King raised his hand and interrupted the lady.
I looked at his raised hand, snow-white to almost transparent, fingers long (chang) redundant, and the back of the hand was a blue vessel, like a silent undercurrent under the snowfield—any moment you could make a mistake and fall into a catastrophe.
Madame kept her mouth shut, and her body retreated slightly, but instead of stepping aside, she stood closer to me, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Wuya, when did you like these children's things too!" the adult turned around, stood side by side with me, and sneered softly, "Baba ran to my Red Castle and hid behind the curtains, what happened?"
The Holy King took a step forward, stirring the air around him as if it was smudged and frozen, and it was pressed with a cold air.
I looked at the moving "person" in front of me, his black robe, five-star, extremely beautiful but also extremely hideous hands, thinking of his body made of glass under his black robe, as well as his fangs, the bubbling dark blue liquid in his body, fear turned into a cicada, stationed in every pore of me, as if someone gave an order, thousands of cicadas chirped in unison, almost overturning me!
"Meiyi, don't come unharmed. The Holy King greeted me softly, and approached me, his posture was graceful, like a leisurely stroll, and he did not pay attention to the Lord and the Lady at all.
"When the Holy King says 'painstaking', please make it clear. The lady reminded in an elegant tone, intended to defuse the tense atmosphere between the Lord and the Holy King.
"Hello Holy King, you have come just in time, Meiyi is about to ask: Why do you want to wash away my memory? Where did my pearl, ring, and purple wings go on my forehead? The Holy King has never seen anything in heaven and earth, and my little gadgets can't enter the eyes of the Holy King, but it is very important to me, if the Holy King takes it, please return it to me. My heart was crossed, and I said loudly. This holy king is hidden here, just now I have a conversation with the adult and the lady, I think he has listened to it, I don't need to hide it anymore, just talk about it, in front of the adult and the lady, he is embarrassed to embarrass my little girl.
The Holy King stopped in front of me, silent, as if pondering what I had said, and perhaps Madame's.
His face was hidden in the black robe and hat, and he was facing me with a black hole, like a black mouth that opened in the night, and there were traps everywhere, and there was no way to hide, so let's meet it.
"And what's wrong with my eyes?" I asked.
There must be something strange in my eyes, and with the age and seniority of an adult, even if he could see that I had the red eyes of a spider, he would not be as shocked as he was just now.
But he said, "It's not red," so what's going on with my eyes?
"Beauty, your eyes...... Anyway. Madame turned her face to look at me, her face serene, with a slight sad smile.
"Hey, you're going to have to make a fool of yourself at this time! You've raised her for sixteen years, and you're ...... I don't know anything!" the Holy King was displeased, but his voice was so soft that it was like a teardrop of pain.
She ...... Since carrying her back from the source garden, she has slept soundly and has never opened her eyes, we ...... How do we know?" there was no impatience in the adult voice.
"Besides, isn't everything done according to your will of the Holy King? How come at this moment, you have actually shirked all the responsibilities!" The lord said proudly: "I am indeed shocked that she is not the person you are looking for at all, and it is impossible, but after thinking about it, it is very good, I have waited for her for sixteen years, and finally woke up, it turns out that she is an ordinary person, and ordinary people are ordinary people, so you don't want to fight her again...... Look for someone else!"
"How can she be an 'ordinary person'!" The Saint King's voice was still pleasant, but it sounded like a poison wrapped in sugar, so sweet that it would still kill people: "Even if she can't help me achieve great things, she is not an 'ordinary person'! You can't keep her in captivity in this Red Castle for the rest of your life!"
"Bring me the mirror!" I cried out no longer. Standing between the three of them, listening to them play dumb riddles, it is better for me to find the answer myself.
"Huh!" the Holy King sneered, raised his arm, and had an extra mirror in his hand.
He threw his hand, and the mirror flew towards me.
"Don't ...... Don't look!" Madame stretched out her hand and tried to stop it.
I grabbed the mirror.
"Beauty!" said the adult, his long eyebrows slanted into his sideburns, and his face was white and cold, and his expression was serious, but with a hint of compassion—what could I not see?
"No matter who you are, you have to remember that you are the child of me and my wife forever, we will protect you for the rest of your life, never change, no one can destroy you—no one can!"
Madame always looked up to him when the adults spoke, and her expression was docile and firm.
My heart was hot, it turned out to be ...... It turns out that they treat me so sincerely! I think I once doubted and disliked them, and I was really a child in vain!
"Wanglou, where have you grown up in the past 2,000 years?" the Holy King disdained, and his voice gradually changed from soft to sonorous: "Since I became the Holy King and was in charge of all the tribes in the heavens and the earth, you have been depressed, obsessed with poetry and books, and refused to share the burden for me, but I thought that you were at least maturing in your heart and knowing what priorities were! I didn't expect you to be unenterprising, how different you were from the foolish 19-year-old boy 2,000 years ago! Do you know what the outside world is like! Do you know how chaotic the world has been!" With my own strength, with the blood clan, I have been overwhelmed and unable to continue! But you are bent on throwing yourself into the pile of old papers, covering your ears and eyes, and the husband and wife are very harmonious, and now you are guarding your children and a loving father, and you are looking at the tower! You open your eyes and take a look! Meiyi is actually in this situation, not what I expected, but there is no turning back, she is a human or a ghost, I have to fight against the water, you don't want to stop me!"
"Haha!" The adult looked up to the sky and laughed, as if he had heard something very ridiculous, and in the blink of an eye, the laughter turned to a mournful scream, only to hear his deep tone with grief and indignation: "'Foolish 19-year-old boy'! Yes, you are very right! 2,000 years ago, I was 'foolish' but loyal to you, following you, repaying you with my life! I know that you made a deal with the blood clan in order to save me, and I could even give you my life at that time, so what is the difficulty of following you and turning into a blood clan? Who would have thought that since you betrayed the five clans, In the past 2,000 years, all kinds of evils have been rampant in the heavens and on the earth, and evil spirits have been full of evils, so how can I 'forge ahead' and how can I 'share the burden for you'? Have I not persuaded me? Haven't I been knocked on the side? What do you do? Even though I feel full of regret in my heart, I am already a blood clan, what can I do but burrow into the 'old paper pile', deceive myself, and anesthetize myself? You are no longer you, and you are not the one who dared to be the first in the world back then? You can't see the rise and fall and the suffering of other races, son of mankind! All you care about is how to continue the deeds of the blood clan for thousands of generations! Boundless! It is you who open your eyes and see! This world is no longer the world it used to be! Beauty is not the 'savior' you expected to come to your rescue and assist you! She is not even a human being! You can let her go! Everything is providence!"
"She's not even a human being"!
This sentence was like a thunderbolt that blasted me to pieces.
Am I not human?
So what am I?
I slowly lifted the mirror in my hand.
"Beauty—" The Holy King seemed to hesitate suddenly, called out my name, and held out his finger to me.
What does he want? Does he want to get the mirror back?
I watched as his fingers reached out, snow-white, slender, and curved, like a five-clawed creature emerging from the ground, volleying into the air, trying to snatch away the truth illuminated by the thunder.
I let out a sigh of relief and lowered my head to the mirror.
