After breaking up, I picked up a beautiful vampire girl

suddenly.

The winds and clouds of heaven and earth gathered together, and a strong wind blew, sweeping across this desolate land with a biting chill.

The whole earth began to tremble at this moment.

The giant dying tree, which had been the only life on the land, began to sway in the strong wind.

Its dry branches twisted in the wind, making a sharp whistling sound, as if it was giving its last wail.

The fruits on the trees fell one by one in the wind, leaving black tracks in the air and finally falling heavily to the ground.

“No…..No no no!”

"No...no, no, no!" Meng Meng waved her hands in the air like crazy, trying to catch the fruits that were about to fall to the ground, but they were too fast and there were too many of them, so she could only watch them slip from her fingertips one by one.

Most of the fruits fell to the ground and turned into a pool of black mud.

They spread out on the ground like black flowers blooming on this barren land.

Mengmeng was kneeling on the ground, her hands covered with black mud, her eyes full of despair and pain.

Just like that day.

That day at the top of the tower.

She watched helplessly as the man shattered one dream bubble after another and ruined one beautiful dream after another.

It wasn't until today that Mengmeng realized how wrong she was.

"No, no, they are all my family, why is this happening..."

"Sister Mengmeng! Let's get out of here first. I feel like this place is just like the defense tower my dad always plays in games. It seems like it's about to collapse!"

Xia Lingyue wanted to hold Mengmeng back, but Mengmeng seemed to understand something and stood there in a daze.

Watching the fruits fall one by one.

"...Is it because I'm here? Is it because you sensed my presence?"

Paji——

The fruits continued to fall, and the towering tree also made a creaking sound, as if it was groaning in pain.

"Li Muhan..."

Meng Meng knelt on the ground, looking up at the giant tree weakly, watching her compatriots one after another bloom black lotus around her.

Tears fell from her eyes and her voice trembled.

It seemed like he was asking a question, but also like he was blaming himself.

"You told me before, 'People should always look forward. No matter what difficulties they encounter, they should live strong. The same goes for you. If you make a mistake, you should accept the punishment.'... Then tell me... where should my fellow tribesmen who have not yet been born look?"

“I thought I could give everyone sweet dreams. I thought that a wave of my hand could bring laughter and joy, enough to make everyone who was sleeping in a dream rest in peace.”

"I was wrong... I only comforted myself by bringing happiness to others."

"My happiness and selfishness are built on the suffering of my people... I was wrong, Li Muhan... I made a mistake, so I should be punished..."

The black lotuses began to slowly wriggle on the ground.

It's as if it has life.

Suddenly, one twisted hand after another stretched out from the black mud, pressing down on the ground, completely polluting the already barren land.

"Ah! What the hell! So disgusting! What are these!?"

Xia Lingyue looked at the black mud under her feet and began to stretch out countless hands.

She was so scared that she jumped up and landed on her brother's back.

“…They are Sister Mengmeng’s family.”

Li Lingsheng frowned and looked around.

As more and more fruits fell from the tree, the area of ​​land contaminated by black mud became larger and larger.

Then more and more black hands stretched out from the mud.

【You are back...】

[Good boy.....Did you bring us nightmares...?]

【We have been waiting for you for a long time...】

【Save us...】

【Save us.....】

Sounds of crying, wailing, scolding and cursing rang in Mengmeng's ears one after another.

The fruit in her arms suddenly exploded, and her cheeks, clothes and hair were all stained with black mud.

"...I came back, but I brought nothing back except myself."

Mengmeng knelt on the ground and did not run away.

Let those arms continue to crawl towards her.

"This is so disgusting! Idiot! Quick! Go and bring Sister Mengmeng out!"

“…It’s so noisy.”

Li Lingsheng covered her head.

"Idiot! It's already this hour, and you're still complaining about me being noisy!?"

"...Sister, can't you hear me?"

"What did you hear...? I didn't hear anything except that the world was going to end!!"

"... there were a lot of people, a lot of people, a lot of noise, men, women, young and old, so many noises, so noisy... it made my head hurt."

"Idiot! Don't scare me! Hey! I didn't hit you on the head just now, did I? Are you okay?!"

Xia Lingyue lay on Li Lingsheng's back and began to observe his head with concern.

"No, it's okay! There's nothing wrong with your brain!? You just wanted to scare me, right!?"

"Sister..." Li Lingsheng felt a splitting headache.

He slowly covered his head, cold sweat running down his forehead.

"Sister Mengmeng...she doesn't want to leave here."

"Ah?! What did you say!?"

Li Lingsheng barely raised his hand and pointed forward.

Xia Lingyue looked up and was so frightened that she gasped.

I saw countless hands gradually lifting Mengmeng's body and pulling her towards the big tree little by little.

【Since you failed us】

Then you can replace us.

[Endure this endless torture]

【You owe us this...】

"Yes..." Mengmeng did not resist.

Her life can be best described as always accepting what is given to her.

Don't fight, don't grab, don't seize, and don't ask.

Everything is there if you have it, and it’s fine if you don’t have it.

And now, if her own people need her to fill this void.

So be it.

"Sister Mengmeng! Idiot! Quick! Hurry up! Go and get Sister Mengmeng back!!"

Xia Lingyue shouted anxiously.

But Li Lingsheng just stood there blankly and said.

"...This is Sister Mengmeng's wish. She, she doesn't want to leave. The current situation is, is her... wish."

"Idiot! Wish you had a big head!"

Xia Lingyue slapped Li Lingsheng on the head suddenly, and then jumped down from behind him.

He stepped on the black mud and rushed towards Mengmeng.

"Sister Mengmeng!! Stop right there!! Come back!!"

The arms formed by the black mud kept trying to grab Xia Lingyue.

She could still try to break free at first, but as the hands got bigger and bigger.

The girl was almost completely wrapped in it.

"Get out of my way!!"

click -

Xia Lingyue took off her mask, opened her mouth and tore those black arms into pieces.

But this did not make her move forward any further.

After being stimulated, the swelling on the arms not only did not fade away, but instead accumulated more and more.

Each one was stronger than the other. They restrained Xia Lingyue and pushed her to the ground.

"Sister Mengmeng!!"

Xia Lingyue raised her head desperately and screamed at Mengmeng on the ground.

Mengmeng has now been brought to the roots of the giant tree.

She vaguely recalled the scene when she first saw the World Tree.

The flowers, the grass, the trees, and the man under the tree.

These memories are being taken away bit by bit.

The beautiful dreams that I have brought to everyone must now be repaid with my own breath.

In the memory at the top of the tower, there was that unruly soul, shouting that his apprentice would beat him up severely.

There was also the young man who broke into his territory with a knife and actually beat him up.

When facing the Five Ghosts, he relied on his own ability to turn defeat into victory at the communication conference.

When helping Xia Yue clear her name, she recalled her past memories of herself and the white rabbit.

Everything was being stripped away from Mengmeng's body bit by bit.

But this is not enough.

It's not full yet.

If this is the case, my people will not be able to rest in peace...

"Okay..." Meng Meng said gently.

"Devour everything about me... let me be your nourishment... I can't take you out, really... I'm sorry."

boom--

Suddenly, a broken arm was thrown towards her fiercely, followed by the girl's angry roar.

"Stop right there! I came here with you! I'm going to take you out with me!"

A scarlet aura surrounded Xia Lingyue's body, and her pupils were also red at this moment.

At the lower back, a pair of small wings also spread out.

"Lingyue... don't come over here again... I will send you and Lingsheng back safely..."

She still remembers Lingyue.

Because these two children were born too late, they had to be sent away while he was still conscious.

"Stop being so fucking conceited! You stupid woman! You're just like my stupid brother!!"

Xia Lingyue raised her hand and conjured up a blood-red long knife, which she fiercely cut off several arms that were trying to pin her down again.

"What do you want, what do you want to do, what do you want to eat? If you want it, just say it! Just say it out loud! That idiot is the same! Every time I bully you, you can't say a word. Honest people like you! You've been bullied all your life!!"

"Lingyue..." Mengmeng looked at Xia Lingyue.

Then he smiled faintly.

"...Now, I just want you to leave safely. Is this considered...saying it?"

"Fuck you!!"

Xia Lingyue kicked her feet and was about to pounce, but the next second, several huge black arms rose from the ground.

She slashed off both arms with her knife.

However, he was slapped hard by the other two arms and flew away. He rolled on the ground for several times and before he could get up, his hands and feet were restrained by the remaining arms.

"Lingyue...I'm sorry..."

Mengmeng's tears fell silently, but she could hardly remember who the girl in front of her was.

"I'm saying this for your own good! Idiot! Why are you crying? Are you a crybaby? You cry when something happens! Why are you crying? Aren't we still here for you no matter how big the problem is!?"

Boom——

That's when.

The ground where the giant tree was rooted began to shake violently.

Then Xia Lingyue was surprised to find that the towering tree was actually alive!

Literally alive! It actually pulled its two thick legs out from the ground.

Then it slowly turned around, and on the other side of the giant tree was a distorted and terrifying face!

"Let me go!! You crybaby!!..."

".....You and your father are so alike."

But... who is your father...

Mengmeng was lifted up by those hands and brought to the twisted and disgusting mouth of the giant tree.

"You are all the same... good people, thank you..."

Snapped--

The monster swallowed Mengmeng into its stomach in one gulp.

Xia Lingyue's pupils suddenly contracted, and she stared blankly at everything in front of her, as if she couldn't believe it.

"......sister."

Li Lingsheng walked towards Xia Lingyue step by step.

The strange thing was that those arms seemed to be afraid of Li Lingsheng and did not dare to approach him at all.

"Let's go back. This is where Sister Mengmeng will be."

"......If I didn't save her, I wouldn't be named Li!!"

"You originally took your mother's last name."

"Then why don't you come on! You're so big! Did you grow up eating dry food?!"

"......I..." Li Lingsheng covered his chest.

The heart of the world has always been to listen to the wishes of others, if that person's wish is to die.

Then I...

"How can I save her..."

"Don't ask me!!" Xia Lingyue desperately bit off several black arms, then turned around and glared at Li Lingsheng.

The row of sharp teeth in her mouth exuded a creepy chill at this moment.

"You and that woman are both mentally retarded! Use your brain to think carefully! Do you really want to save her? Don't talk about the Heart of the World! That's bullshit! You are my brother! You are Li Lingsheng! The son of Xia Lingyue and Li Muhan! Think about it yourself! Do you want to save that woman named Mengmeng?"

Xia Lingyue cut off the arm at her feet, then grabbed Li Lingsheng by the collar, stared at him like a devil, and spoke word by word.

"If you can't figure it out, you don't deserve to be Lao Li's son."
