Chapter 21: Painting Dreams

The incense on the table was burning, and the whole room was filled with aroma, but the smoke was very thin.

Li Nuo poured a glass of water for Cang Yue Xun first, poured another glass for himself, and took a sip before saying slowly: "I really don't know where to start with this matter." ”

"Don't worry, you think about it and say it slowly. Cangyue Kaoru said with a calm face and a stiff tone.

"Remember the day we met? I told you that I liked a girl, but I don't know if she really liked me. ”

Cangyue Kaoru recalled the situation of being lazy in Li Nuo's arms all day that day, and nodded slightly.

Li Nuo continued: "Originally, I always thought that I was in love with her, and she loved me no less than I did for her. Until that day, something happened, I found out that she was hiding a lot of secrets, she approached me as if there was another purpose, and I could no longer tell whether her feelings for me were real or fake. ”

"Why don't you ask?"

"After that, I came here and never saw her again. ”

"You're lukewarm to me because of that girl?"

Li Nuo said: "I'm very conflicted, I was very happy when I was with you, and I always couldn't help but want to be close to you, but at that time I would think of her again and feel sorry for her." I think it's hard to open up to you until I figure out if she's true to me. ”

"What if she's true to you?"

Li Nuo lowered his head, held his head in his hands in pain, and said, "I don't know, I really don't want to leave you, but I don't know what to do." ”

Li Nuo was originally an ordinary teenager, his love for Mo Yeyu was sincere, and he never thought of being emotionally attracted to other girls, but there seemed to be providence in the dark, after coming to this world and meeting Cangyue Kaoru, it was not only the beauty and touching of Cangyue Kaoru that attracted him, but also an indescribable fanaticism.

This kind of fanaticism is like a bomb hidden deep in Li Nuo's heart for a long time, and even he has never been aware of it. He didn't fall in love with Kaoru Cangyue at first sight, Kaoru Cangyue was like a spark in the night, he just felt dazzling at first sight, and the fuse was ignited at the slightest contact, and the bomb of his feelings was detonated in an instant, which caught him off guard, but it was penetrating and could not be resisted.

This frenzied release did not completely bury his feelings for Mo Yeyu, but it was definitely a huge shock, so he felt very conflicted and at a loss now.

Seeing his contradictory and painful appearance, Cangyue Kaoru was a little unbearable, sighed, and said, "Anyway, thank you for your honesty, you finally didn't deceive me." ”

The two were silent for a long time, and Li Nuo made up his mind with difficulty and said, "I know this is very bad, so I decided to tell you the truth." If you leave now, I won't keep you anymore, the problem is with me, and I have no right to stop your decision. ”

Kaoru Cangyue continued to remain silent, and the gloomy and lonely shadow was heart-wrenching. I don't know how long it took, but she didn't leave, sighed again, and said in a complaining tone: "I remember you said that day that you may never see her again." ”

"Yes. I don't know how to explain it, but the place where she is is is far, far away from here, like ...... It's like being in another world. ”

"Another world?" Kaoru Cangyue was stunned, "Then how did you get here?"

Li Nuo hesitated for a moment, and decided to hide the matter of Mirror and Beamon, after all, these two things were too appalling for anyone to believe if they said it.

He said vaguely, "I don't know." I was attacked that day and fainted, and before I fainted, I seemed to have passed through a mirror, and when I woke up, I was already in the Huluojia Mountains, and I somehow had the same ability as the beast master, and then I met Xiaoyin, Xiaohong, and Xiaocai. I asked Xiao Caiyi to take me out of the Khuraka Mountains, but I accidentally saved you on the way. ”

Cangyue Kaoru shook her delicate body for a moment and said, "When did you appear in the Khuraka Mountain Range?"

Li Nuo will never forget that day, the 22nd day of the 11th month of the Gregorian calendar, the 15th day of the 10th month of the lunar calendar. But it was the date of the earth, and the day of the world's calendar, and how did he know? ”

Cangyue Kaoru counted the days, and in an instant, she had a lot of thoughts, her eyes stared blankly at the gauze lamp on the table, and it took a long time like a dream, and she said in a distant voice: "Do you believe in fate?"

Li Nuo didn't know why she suddenly said such a sentence, and turned her head to look at Cangyue Kaoru blankly, wanting to answer whether she believed it or not, but these days there have been bizarre events one after another, how can you still conclude that such a seemingly ethereal thing as fate really does not exist.

Kaoru Cangyue didn't really want him to answer, and continued, "I'll show you something." ”

She took out a scroll from the Space Stone and carefully spread it out on the table.

Li Nuo was stunned when he saw the picture, the painting was a man, his face was exactly the same as his, especially the lazy smile, which made Li Nuo feel like looking in the mirror. The man wore a crown on his head, golden armor, a giant sword in his hand, and a seven-colored rainbow under his feet, and his whole body was shrouded in a sea of fire, surrounded by circles of whirlwinds.

The picture is colorful and lifelike, with flames and whirlwinds leaping on the paper, and seven-colored rainbows across the sky, all of which set off the man as if he was descending from the heavens, heroic and brave.

Cangyue Kaoru said: "Look, what's so special about this painting?"

Li Nuo said embarrassedly: "Isn't it a bit exaggerated, am I so wise and powerful?"

No matter how complicated Cang Yuexun's mood was, she couldn't help but roll her eyes and said angrily: "I'm not talking about this, you take a closer look." ”

Li Nuo looked at it carefully for a long time, and said in surprise: "My face was painted later. ”

Kaoru Cangyue looked out the window, as if in deep thought, and said faintly: "Since I was a child, Your Majesty has told me that when the moon god is polluted by blood and the fear of the undead sweeps the darkness, I will be like a lamb, drowning in blood on the altar made of skeletons. Then my prince will come down with seven colored lights, burn the darkness with fire, sweep away the blood with a whirlwind, and save my soul. So since I was a child, I've been thinking about what my prince would be like. I often dreamed that I was in all kinds of dangers, and every time there was a man wearing a crown on his head, wearing gold armor, holding a sword, stepping on colored lights, and carrying flames and whirlwinds from the sky to save me. But when I woke up, his face was so blurry that I couldn't remember what he looked like. I've tried so hard and I can't remember.

"I tried my best to learn to paint, and practiced every day for a long, long time, until the chief painter of the court also praised my painting skills for being outstanding, and the green was better than the blue. I tried to draw the scene in the dream, I drew every detail of the dream, one after another, this one was just one of them, but the face was always blank. I thought I wouldn't be able to draw that person until I met him, so I kept looking forward to it, looking forward to it...... I look forward to the early arrival of the crisis that His Majesty has mentioned.

"Later, when I came to the Holy See, I frantically accepted all kinds of tasks, and I rushed to take everything related to the undead. My teacher, the Privy Counsellor of the Holy See, Lord Hemmingyi, had advised me not to take too many risks, but he did not understand my purpose at all, and I was not afraid of danger, and even looked forward to life-threatening dangers, because I knew that my prince would appear at that time. It's a pity that every time, in exchange for disappointment.

"This time, I was tasked with chasing down Wu Tuo with the Kadi Paladin. I thought this mission was just the same as usual, another expectation, another disappointment. Until ten days ago, on the night of the full moon, when we had followed Wu Tuo to the Khoraka Mountains, I had that dream again, I dreamed of my prince, but the difference was that when I woke up, I clearly remembered his appearance, so profound, so clear, I was so happy that I immediately filled in his face on this picture scroll......"

Li Nuo listened to Cangyue Xun's confession without saying a word, and his thoughts unconsciously devoted himself to her story, as if in a dream, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour, and his thoughts fluctuated: "It turns out that she is a distressing girl who is persistent, and she has paid so many hardships to find the prince of her dreams. ”

At the same time, his mind was violently shocked, from Cangyue Kaoru's telling, he found the key, Cangyue Kaoru remembered that the appearance of the prince in the dream was also on the night of the full moon, and it was the day he appeared in the mirror world, no wonder she asked when she appeared in the Huluojia Mountains, and asked herself if she believed in fate. Could it be that there is really an invisible long thread in the underworld that controls his marriage with Kaoru Cangyue? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence, as soon as he appeared in the world in the mirror, Kaoru Cangyue sensed his existence? This fact was so magical that he couldn't help but be in a trance.

Soak up the memories and continued: "I was not afraid when I was caught by Wu Tuo, but I was looking forward to it, knowing that His Majesty's prophecy was about to come true, and my prince would soon appear and never leave me again. You don't know how excited I was when you fell from the sky, and I wanted to throw myself into your arms immediately, but unfortunately I fell into Wu Tuo's soul binding technique, and I couldn't do anything, I couldn't even open my eyes, and I hated Wu Tuo so much at that time, and hated soul binding at that time. Later, you saved me and held me in your arms, and I felt safer and more satisfied than ever, and I wished that time would stop at that moment. But when it was time to camp, you fool left me alone like a log, and slept like a dead pig, and I was eager to get up and bite you to death.

"On the second day, the effect of the witch soul binding technique disappeared, and the moment I opened my eyes, I really saw you, although you did not wear a crown on your head, and you were wearing gold armor, but that face was exactly the same as what I saw in my dream, I felt that the whole world had become brighter, all the grievances and efforts were worth it, and the moon god had been taking care of me all along. ”
