Orphan girl reborn: Why are you clinging to me?

"Wait a minute, why does it sound like you have known each other more than twenty years ago?"

Wang Yujin stepped forward and stood between Ai Jing and Chen Xinghe.

She had finally calculated against Chen Xinghe, reached a contract, and guaranteed her own safety. How could she let Chen Xinghe use Ai Jing to cancel the contract again? She would never agree.

"We did know each other very early on, when I was still in elementary school on this island, and he was a friend of my grandfather."

When Ai Jing finished saying the word "friend", Chen Xinghe who was opposite him snorted coldly, his handsome face was full of ridicule, and Ai Jing lowered his head in shame.

Lin Luo thought they were weird. Ai Jing's grandfather was a member of Xuanmen and Chen Xinghe was a demon. Can they also be friends?

Wang Yujin looked at Chen Xinghe's awkward look and couldn't figure out if he really wanted to kill Ai Jing.

"Chen Xinghe, you are a great demon who has lived for thousands of years. People from the Xuanmen Ai family hurt you. You just returned it at that time. With your demon power, it is not difficult to force Ai Jing's grandfather to lift the ban for you. , Ai Jing was just a primary school student back then, and she probably never harmed you, so why do you still come to embarrass her after so many years?"

"If you don't know, don't talk nonsense." Ai Jing glared at Wang Yujin with dissatisfaction, but instead defended Chen Xinghe, "Uncle Chen was not wrong. It was our family who repaid his kindness with hatred, and later he saved the entire island regardless of the past grudges. people."

It felt uncomfortable to be scolded, so Wang Yujin suppressed her temper and asked angrily:

"I really don't know. Why don't you tell me what happened back then?"

Just as Ai Jing was about to say something, she glanced at Chen Xinghe worriedly and saw that he just turned away and ignored her without getting angry, so she slowly began to tell the story of that year.

"Our family belongs to the Ai clan of Xuanmen. More than a hundred years ago, in order to escape the war, our ancestors moved to this island and have been living on fishing and farming. Our direct descendants have inherited Xuanmen magic. More than ten years ago, a sudden big storm swept across the entire island. The seawater that followed flooded back, submerging all the cultivated land on the island. After the seawater receded, the cultivated land became saline-alkali land, and crops could no longer be grown. Food can only be purchased from outside.

At that time, it was just a little-known island, and the people on the island didn't have much money. At that time, shipping was not as convenient as it is now, and food often couldn't be delivered on time. In the following years, many tribesmen left the island. , went to make a living outside, and there were fewer and fewer people on the island, leaving only the old, weak, women and children, who in many cases had to rely on fishing to survive.

My grandfather is the leader of the clan. He wanted to keep the inheritance left by his ancestors and did not want to see his descendants leave the island, so he came up with the plan of the 'Island of Prayer'. He used the wish fulfillment as bait to attract the island. Outsiders came to make wishes, and then used Xuanmen magic to inspire people's luck. Most people soon realized their wishes. The reputation of the Island of Prayer spreads more and more, and those who come here to pray There are more and more people, and they have brought a steady stream of wealth to the island, and the island has regained its vitality.

At this time, Uncle Chen came to the island. He and his grandfather have been friends for many years. At the invitation of his grandfather, he presided over the rain praying ceremony on the island. When the rain fell from the sky, those who came to make wishes were even more grateful. The magical power on the island was firmly believed in. Grandpa worshiped Uncle Chen as the Dragon God and spread it everywhere. At that time, he was blinded by the glitz in front of him. Little did he know that those suddenly prosperous years were using up the island's last resources. Luck.

Later, storms on the island became more and more frequent. Tourists were afraid of the terrible weather, and the number of visitors gradually decreased. Uncle Chen said that this was God's punishment for the island. It was an act that went against the will of heaven to inspire good fortune. If a little adds up to a big thing, God could no longer ignore it. The punishment was about to come, and the wish-making business must be stopped immediately.

But grandpa and the others couldn't listen at all. Not only did they not listen, they also thought that Uncle Chen's arrival had brought bad luck, just because they found out that he was a demon..."

Ai Jing's voice gradually decreased, and the next words were difficult for her to say.

Wang Yujin's eyes flashed slightly before she continued.

"So, your grandfather and the others deceived Chen Xinghe and placed restrictions on him to suppress the demonic power. They also had to peel off his skin and cramp his muscles as a sacrifice to pray to God not to punish him. Is that so?"

"How did you know?" Ai Jing looked surprised.

"Xuanmen is the same old thing, isn't it like this?" Wang Yujin curled her lips, "You can guess it."

Now that everything had been told, Ai Jing no longer had any scruples and continued to tell the story.

"The storm lasted for three days without letting up. I remember that morning, I hid behind the door and saw my grandfather walking in front. My uncles and uncles carried a man covered in blood into the wind and rain. I We know that it was Uncle Chen they were carrying, but they didn’t come back until the next afternoon.”

Ai Jing's face turned pale. She sniffed and suppressed the pain in her heart.

"We finally found them on the altar. My grandfather and uncles were all lying on the altar with their bodies charred and black. They had not breathed for a long time. The doctor on the island said that they were struck to death by lightning. This is God damn it, no one even dares to collect the corpse...

However, the storm on the island did not stop because of their deaths. The food at home was gradually exhausted, and the wind and waves were too strong. The supply ships from outside could not approach the island, and the ships on the island could not get out. People are starving to death.

It wasn't until the early morning of the seventh day that I woke up from hunger again, but I didn't hear the familiar sound of wind and rain. The sky outside was still gloomy, but the rain had stopped. It was only five o'clock in the morning. I excitedly put on my clothes and ran away. Going out, I thought a miracle must have happened.

I ran to the altar for some reason, but I saw Uncle Chen there. He was standing on the altar, using his demon power to fight against the dark clouds pressing on the island. I knew that it was him who made the storm stop. It was he who saved everyone on the island. "

Ai Jin glanced at Chen Xinghe again out of habit, but found that the other person was also staring at her.

Chen Xinghe's face was livid, and his eyes seemed to be on fire, "You saw what I looked like at that time."

"Yes, I'm sorry!" Ai Jing winced and immediately bowed and apologized, "Uncle Chen, I have always kept this secret. Before today, I have never told anyone."

"What's the secret? Why do you need to apologize suddenly?"

Lin Luo was confused by their strange reaction.

"Hehe, you didn't listen to me when I asked you to study more. Now you know you're worried~"

Wang Yujin was happily minding her own business, looking at Lin Luo's ignorant face, and kindly reminded her.

"To give you a hint, the demon is seriously injured and has to use a lot of demon power. Which form is the most advantageous?"

"Nature is the essence!"

Lin Luo replied smoothly, and then realized that Ai Jing had seen Chen Xinghe's true form at that time, but what was there to apologize for? What kind of monster is he?
