[Douluo Dalu] He and the sea

In the afternoon, as the sun rose high, Ating stood on the beach, feeling the sea breeze blowing against her face. She closed her eyes slightly and ignored the footsteps that stopped behind her.

Gu Xiu stood behind her, always keeping a close distance. When Atin took away the soul bone and marrow crystal, he remained silent and said nothing.

A Ting touched the soul bone in her arms, and felt the warmth with her fingertips. Her lowered eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she suddenly lost consciousness for a moment.

"Gu Xiu, my sister sacrificed herself to save you, right?"

"..." Gu Xiu lowered his eyes, his eyes were dark and dark, as if the ashes of death were burned out without any light. His throat moved, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Yes."

The soul bone in her arms buzzed softly, and an indescribable emotion came over her heart. Her fingertips felt numb. She looked at the tide overflowing the beach, her brows filled with tiredness: "She It’s voluntary, I don’t blame you.”

Gu Xiu's eyelashes trembled, his eyes were slightly bright, looking at the boundless sea, his eyes were filled with emptiness: "If it's as you said, that's great..."

"You stay here." She really didn't know what to say to him, so after saying this, she took a few steps forward. Gu Xiu was stunned and quickly followed.

Ating turned sideways and saw that he looked nervous, and said in confusion: "I can follow him by boat..."

She said nothing and looked at him for a while. His current appearance was completely different from the Gu Xiu she had heard from Sister Roy before.

Gazing at his frosty white hair and dejected expression, Atin's heart sank, and her tone softened: "I know what my sister is thinking, but you can't go into the deep sea now."

Before Gu Xiu could speak, she continued talking, her usually bright and clear eyes dimming a little: "Maybe this is wrong, but I can't bring any more trouble to Samuel."

"And..." A Ting smiled vaguely, and she returned the marrow crystal to him: "I don't think Samuel wants to see you for the time being. I'll give this to you. Since my sister left it to you, it's yours." ."

"The siren belongs to the deep sea, and it's time for her to go home." Atin didn't look at him anymore, turned around and walked into the sea. Not far away, two or three dolphins were waiting for her. As soon as she dived into the water, they swam right next to her. , Ating protected his soul bone with one hand, and grasped the dorsal fin of the dolphin next to him with the other hand, getting farther and farther away from the seaside.

Gu Xiu clutched the marrow crystal and stood silently for a long time. After he could no longer see those figures, he turned back and walked to the shore, where he bought a small house with the few silver coins he had left.

Wuhun Palace has been restless recently, so he decided to stay on the shore, even if he could block external dangers for them.

Several dolphins brought her to the edge of the central zone and stopped. Samuel was worried and had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw her coming back, he quickly swam to the side.

A Ting looked languid and smiled. Samuel curled his lips and barely looked at it. He pulled Xiao Zhou over and lifted her up, while saying angrily: "If you can't laugh, then stop laughing." , it’s so ugly.”

"..." She lowered her eyes, stopped smiling, and sat quietly in the boat, looking at the sea in trance.

Samuel didn't ask her what happened. He tried his best to ignore the familiar breath and pretended as if nothing had happened, joking and teasing her all the way.

After passing the Moon Gorge, A Ting felt a little more energetic. She put her hand on her soul bone and hesitated whether she should take it out. After a fierce ideological struggle, she sat down safely on the rock before pulling it out. Samuel asked, speaking as softly as possible: "I'll tell you something..."

Looking at her helplessly, Samuel said a little tiredly: "You've been holding it in all this time, please tell me."

Ating took out the soul bone from her arms and placed it on the palm of her hand. She glanced at Samuel and saw that his expression did not change. She lightly pursed her lower lip and said, "I met Gu Xiu, Sister Roy. Sacrificed."

"...Sacrifice." The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and Samuel half-frowned, a touch of depression covering his eyes. He slightly pulled the corners of his lips, raised his hand to touch the right leg bone, and laughed dumbly: " I have expected this result."

"Human beings are the enemy of soul beasts, and they are also the calamity of soul beasts."

Ating stiffened and stared at him blankly. The sea monster's deep sigh was like a cannonball exploding in her ears. She suddenly felt that the sea water was too cold, and it actually made her whole body feel cold.

"Cecil, we can no longer have any emotional involvement with humans."

In a daze, she could no longer tell who was chanting in her ears. One moment it was Roy, the next it was Samuel. The last thing that stuck in her mind was a new letter she had received a few days ago. The letter comes from the human world beyond the mountains and the sea.

After returning that day, Samuel was disgusted with her going out again. Atin didn't want to make him angry, so he stayed in the deep sea obediently for more than two months. But as the time agreed in the letter got closer, she couldn't sit still. .

The look of Xiao Wu's reluctance to leave before they left, and Tang San's words to her about seeing each other in the future, were always on her mind and were still vivid in her mind.

That night, the bright moon was high in the sky and the evening breeze was cool. She was still sitting on the reef, leaning her chin on the moon while the other sea monsters dived into the deep sea, leaving only two siblings.

"How long do you want to watch?" Samuel put his arm around her legs and looked at her side face, which was still stunned. Atin blinked and said nothing. She was still worried and couldn't sleep.

"..." Samuel raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows. Juan's beautiful face was reflected by the moonlight and became more and more beautiful. He pursed his lips. Even though he was extremely unwilling, he still frowned and said, "If you want to go, just Go ahead."

Ating turned his eyes in surprise and saw his reluctant look, and suddenly felt ashamed: "Samuel, I'm sorry."

"We don't need to talk about this between us." Without thinking about it, it was just for the sake of those two so-called good friends. Samuel couldn't help but sigh: "Tell me, when are you going to come back this time?"

"It shouldn't take long. I plan to explore the Spirit Hall."

When he thought of the entanglement between Wuhundian and Roy, Samuel changed his expression and hurriedly stopped: "Wait, are you the only one?"

Ating shook his head, comforted him, and said softly: "With Gu Xiu."

"Why are you with him..." Samuel had never liked Gu Xiu. He really didn't understand why Roy fell in love with a human being.

"He was once a member of the Wuhun Palace. No one knows the inside story better than him." Ating didn't plan to say too much. She didn't want to worry Samuel.

"How do you care about this person Gu Xiu?" Samuel had only heard Roy talk about it many times, but had never actually met this person.

Ating was speechless for a moment. After all, the impression Gu Xiu gave her was not very good. She recalled his current appearance, and after a while, she sighed: "I didn't know what he was like before, but from my perspective, If these things had not happened, he should be regarded as a leader of the younger generation in the soul master world."

"Everyone has his own destiny." Samuel didn't feel sorry for Gu Xiu, but thought he deserved it. Who knows if he had ever taken advantage of Roy.

Thinking of this, Samuel looked at Atin worriedly. Siren has always been beautiful in appearance and charming in appearance. His sister has always been soft-hearted. If she was deceived by any human outside, she probably wouldn't resist. Opportunity.

A Ting saw his concerns and couldn't help but laugh: "I will protect myself well, isn't there a jade bird following me, don't worry."

The ear fins moved slightly, and Samuel twitched his tail unnaturally. He was coaxed like a child again.

A few days later, Atin had to leave the deep sea. She did not ask Samuel to send her off. She only asked the Jade Bird to go out to explore the road before leaving. Seeing that there were no potential risks, she carried the bag and swam by herself. go out.

It would be closer if she took the trail, and she ate water-proof grass in advance, so she bravely went out alone. She estimated that it would only take half an hour for her to swim to the center, and she would be able to call the dolphins by then.

Atin was under the sea, and the jade bird was following in the sky, watching the wind for her. This was what Samuel had ordered, so that he could tell her immediately if he found something.

"I don't understand, why do you want to become a human being?"

The Jade Bird followed her leisurely. The two of them had become familiar with each other during this time. Now that it left the deep sea, it didn't have so many worries. After all, Samuel couldn't control it and couldn't block it. It's in its mouth.

The clear sea water brushed against her body, and she felt the coolness entering her skin. Her bright eyes narrowed and she slowly exhaled her breath.

"You said you have been a hundred thousand years old. With your cultivation level, why are you afraid of being bullied by someone? Why do you have to go to the human world?"

The Jade Bird has not forgotten the days when it was locked in a cage. It was fed bird food every day and was teased and teased by people. It did not live freely at all. And although those humans did not hurt its life, they did not. It was tortured so hard that it watched the group of people with their own thoughts and battles of wits and courage along the way, but in the end they were all trapped in the storm. It escaped by chance, and it never believed in humans again.

"I want to find a way out. In addition to finding out the truth, I also want to find a way out for the tribe." After struggling to swim to the edge of the central zone, Atin emerged from the sea, breathed evenly, and looked at the little guy standing in the sky. The eyes are like a lake filled with blue water, clear and translucent, turning and shining.

The green jade bird fluttered its wings and looked down at the several dolphins clustered around her. Its black bean-like eyes blinked and looked brightly at the siren girl below. She couldn't help but think, if she saw too much outside, The cruelty will make you homesick like a bird?

This is just a thought, it cannot go back to Sunset Forest, nor can it go back.

With the dolphins leading the way, the speed was much faster. The Jade Bird looked at the shallow sea pool in front of it, glanced at it again and again. It lowered its head and asked in confusion: "Cecil, have you seen the front? There is something in front of you." Personal kind.”

"What?" Atin wiped the water stains on his face, looked up, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The man didn't wear a cloak, so it was easier to recognize him. It turned out that he was still here.

"It's not the human you were talking about, is it?" When they reached a place where they could walk ashore, the jade bird folded its wings and landed on top of Atin's head, curling up as if for the winter.

The little guy wasn't heavy. Atin was afraid that it would fall, so she raised one hand to hold it on. She said goodbye to the dolphins, stepped on the water, and walked slowly to the beach.

"It's him, don't be afraid, he won't hurt you."

Gu Xiu watched her approach without saying a word. He handed over the cloak on his arm and took her to his small room.

Although the room was smaller, the layout inside was quite good. Atin was wearing a cloak that was a few sizes too small. She sat on a chair and looked at Gu Xiu's figure holding soup. She pursed her lower lip and asked again. Exited.

"Have you been here these past few months?"

"Yeah." Gu Xiu was used to being reticent and not good at making small conversations. He could always talk to every corner. When facing Ating, he was always very careful and spoke softly: "I promised your sister, Won’t leave.”

It is estimated that only when he is unconscious, he will talk to himself and say long words.

Just as she was thinking this, a bowl of hot soup was put down in front of her. Atin sniffed it unconsciously. The bowl of soup was very fragrant.

But she has been eating sea fish for almost a year and is not used to hot food.

"The bird next to you..." Gu Xiu said carefully. As soon as he glanced over, he saw the girl quickly raised her hand to protect the bird in her arms.

Gu Xiu: ...He actually didn’t mean that.

Sapphire Bird: ...The bird is suffocated!

He struggled to stick his head out, but before he could finish taking a breath, Atin reached out and covered its head again, looking at Gu Xiu with a wary look on his face: "Can it come with me?"

Gu Xiu nodded and gave her another spoon. He sat opposite A Ting, taller than her and looking very petite.

"We can go together, but we'll get into some trouble."

Feeling a little more at ease, Atin let go of one hand and exposed the jade bird. Gu Xiu didn't look at it too much. He obviously didn't care much. When he met her eyes, the young man spoke again, surrounding the little guy. topic of.

"Can you hide your breath?"

"Yes, besides flying, what birds are good at is hiding." The jade bird saw the power of this human being at a glance. It was frightened for a while, and never thought that the relationship between two soul beasts and a titled Douluo could be so good. Live in peace.

The usually timid little guy was actually smart at this time. It stayed quiet and motionless, just nestling in Atin's arms, acting as a mascot.

After solving the problem of the Jade Bird, Gu Xiu brought the conversation to the main topic: "What are your plans."

"Go to Soto City." Atin took a few sips of soup. She raised her eyes, and a blue light condensed on her fingertips. The faint water vapor from all directions gathered in one place, and followed the contact between her fingertips and the table, and turned into words. .

Gu Xiu lowered his gaze, and when the words came into his eyes, he couldn't help but frown.

Shrek?

In early autumn, the temperature is comfortable and does not change much, but it will still be boring in the afternoon.

Sitting in the carriage, Atin had wiped her sweat several times. She leaned against the wall of the carriage and accepted another square of cloth handed over by the young man.

"If you bear with me a little longer, there will be no traffic jams entering the city."

Fortunately, Gu Xiu brought a lot of cloth towels. When he and Roy traveled together in the past, he would always encounter this situation. The sea tribe likes the cold, and as a cultivator, he cannot stand the heat for a long time. He must need water, otherwise he will become dehydrated and weak. ,Dizziness.

"Thank you." Atin gasped and opened the curtains to let in the wind for a while. Suddenly a green light flashed in. It turned out to be the little guy. It had just gone to explore the road and came back.

Seeing that Ating was feeling uncomfortable, the Jade Bird also hurriedly went out for a few times. It flapped its wings vigorously and fanned out some wind. At the same time, it did not forget to say to Ating: "There are two cars ahead. Let's go there in a moment." We can enter the city.”

As soon as they finished speaking, the carriage they were sitting in shook. Even if Gu Xiudang released some soul power, they sat down again in just a moment. Ating frowned, lifted the curtain and looked outside, and saw them. The carriage in front had just stopped, and he guessed what happened at the front.

"I'll go take a look." Gu Xiu motioned for her to stay and got off the carriage. As soon as he walked to the front, the driver of the second carriage also ran over. The city soldiers had no choice but to push everything to the second carriage. On the driver of a carriage.

"This city soldier insists on tolls. When we were arguing, the horse got frightened for some reason. It just collided with you two. I'm really sorry."

The coachman was an honest young man. After he told everything, he kept apologizing.

Gu Xiu didn't say any more nonsense. He lowered his eyes coldly, pulled off his cloak a little, revealing his cold and stern eyebrows. With just one look, the city soldiers couldn't help but tremble, and quickly retreated to the back, letting go.

The carriages started moving in an orderly manner. After entering the city, the driver of the second carriage stopped them. Gu Xiu raised the curtain and remained silent. The driver was not afraid at all and still said politely: "My lady Say, thank you very much just now.”

"No need." He raised his long eyelashes, and his dark eyes passed over the carriage like a cold light. The jade lacquer carvings and silk curtains were so luxurious and beautiful. Gu Xiu pondered for a while and paid more attention to the side of the carriage. .

Pagoda carvings...seventh floor again...

Could it be…

He immediately had an answer in his heart. He turned his eyes and saw the coachman returning, so he also lowered the curtain.

As everyone knows, Ating has been paying attention to the carriage outside the curtain. The moment Gu Xiu let go of his hand, she happened to see the curtain of the carriage opposite being opened, and she happened to meet the man's eyes.

The girl looked young, with eyes as bright as paint, eyebrows as beautiful as mountains, and a delicate and elegant appearance. She tilted her head and curled her lips, smiling indifferently, not afraid of life at all.
