All heavens, the destiny that begins with the path of martial arts

In the wild city, Xiao lay quietly on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a trance.

He has been thinking about what his future will be like.

What should I do now that I can no longer be called a human being?

Do you want to continue staying here?

But I will hurt Luo Luo and Jing Jing...

But if I leave, where will I go?

As he thought about it, Xiao's eyelids became heavier and heavier. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have not slept for a while. He yawned, turned sideways, curled up into a ball, and slowly closed his eyes.

tick-

tick-

The sudden sound of dripping water startled Owl awake.

But when he opened his eyes, it was no longer his room, but a quiet place.

He was lying on the ground, which was also charred black, and there was no other shadow in sight.

"Why am I here..."

Xiao shook his head, stood up and looked around. It was still the same as before. Even though Hei Xuanming was dead, there was no change here.

Perhaps the only thing that has changed is that there is more corrosive black air around.

"Black Xuanming..."

His eyes suddenly fell on a dead tree in the distance. In a trance, Xiao seemed to see someone standing under the tree, waving at him.

I blinked and looked again, but there was no one there, just the illusion of dead branches.

Xiao pursed his lips. What expression should he use to express his feelings?

With sadness in his heart, he walked towards the dead tree.

tick-

tick-

The sound of water sounded again. Owl raised his head and saw some black liquid dripping from the trunk and branches of the dead tree to the ground.

"It feels like crying....are you crying?"

Owl muttered to himself, raised his hand and touched the tree trunk, and the black liquid flowed onto his hand.

The liquid that should have corroded flesh and blood no longer posed a threat. It was just like water, icy and cold.

Suddenly, Xiao turned around and looked around.

"Did I feel wrong?"

Xiao scratched his head. He clearly felt someone blowing air behind him just now.

Suddenly, my eyes focused and I saw a blurry figure in front of me.

Xiao was shocked and ran over quickly.

is it him?

But after running a few steps, the figure suddenly disappeared, and it looked like nothing had happened, with only a few wisps of black mist floating by.

"is not?"

Xiao sighed in disappointment. He wished that this was just Hei Xuanming playing hide-and-seek with him, and he would find him sooner or later.

He turned around spiritlessly and just as he raised his head, his eyes fell on the figure sitting cross-legged on the ground under the dead tree.

"..."

Xiao's eyes narrowed and he opened his mouth, but no words came out.

He walked over in a trance, and he didn't even know what he had done or how he got here.

When I got closer, I could see clearly that it was indeed Hei Xuanming.

He sat cross-legged under the tree, letting the black liquid fall onto his body, making his jet-black armor even darker.

His optics were not lit, but dim.

Xiao walked forward carefully and stiffly, and stopped in front of Hei Xuanming.

As if he had sensed the movement, Hei Xuanming's optical glasses lit up, and he raised his head slightly to look at Xiao.

"Black Xuanming?"

Xiao asked softly. Hei Xuanming didn't say anything, but just tilted his head slightly and looked at him.

Xiao's breathing stagnated, he swallowed deeply, squatted down tremblingly, knelt in front of Hei Xuanming, then stretched out his hand, hesitantly reaching for Hei Xuanming's breastplate.

The cold touch made Xiao's body tremble, and his eyes trembled uncontrollably.

As if he couldn't believe it, Xiao quickly stretched out his other hand and touched Hei Xuanming's body.

"Really... it's you..."

Xiao felt the real cold touch, and the corners of his eyes suddenly curved down, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, but there was some sob in that smile.

"You, are you stupid? Why did you go to find him?"

"You obviously don't have much time left, why can't you stay here until the end?"

"Are you so desperate?"

"Is it worth wasting your last time for me?"

"How can you... be so stupid..."

Xiao started crying as he spoke. He choked and pounded on Hei Xuanming's breastplate with his hands. Finally, he was choked with sobs and could not speak. He lowered his head and rested it on Hei Xuanming's breastplate. Big drops of tears fell on Hei Xuanming's body. His whole body was shaking and his shoulders couldn't stop shaking.

Hei Xuanming's optical glasses flashed, and he raised his hands on his knees, cupped Xiao's face, and made him look up.

Xiao was still sobbing, his eyes were bloodshot and red at the corners due to crying.

Hei Xuanming shook his head, not knowing what he meant.

Then he raised his fingers and gently wiped away the tears on Xiao's face, put his hand on Xiao's head and rubbed his hair.

"Black Xuanming..."

Xiao sobbed, suddenly hugged Hei Xuanming, buried his head in his chest armor, and cried silently.

Hei Xuanming touched his head with one hand and gently stroked his back with the other.

The liquid on the dead tree gradually disappeared and stopped dripping, and Hei Xuanming's body also became somewhat illusory.

Xiao also felt the changes in the body of the person in his arms. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Hei Xuanming helplessly.

"You...how did you..."

Xiao wanted to say something but was interrupted by Hei Xuanming. He watched silently as Hei Xuanming pulled his arm and raised his arm armor. Xiao's sight also fell on the dark blue crystal.

Hei Xuanming stretched out his hand, and his sharp fingertips gently carved marks on the crystal.

But after a while, Hei Xuanming stopped and showed the marks on the crystal to Xiao.

It was a dragon pattern, the same as the pattern on Hei Xuanming's chest, it was his symbol.

Xiao raised his head and looked into Hei Xuanming's optical mirror.

From his eyes, I seemed to understand what he meant.

【I will always be with you and will never leave】

Even though Hei Xuanming didn't say a word, the meaning he expressed was now inexplicably clear.

"Hei Xuanming, I know you will never leave"

Xiao watched as black particles gradually floated out of Hei Xuanming's body, and his body gradually became transparent.

"I know you'll always be by my side."

Xiao choked with sobs, holding back his tears, and looked at Hei Xuanming bravely until he finally disappeared before his eyes.

“Black Xuanming!!”

Xiao shouted loudly, and his voice echoed in the empty space, and he could no longer sense the breath of Hei Xuanming.

......

"Black Xuanming..."

Owl was lying on the bed, murmuring, tears flowing from his tightly closed eyes.

He shrank his body and hugged himself tightly, as if he was hugging another person.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao opened his eyes in confusion.

Looking at the dark night outside the window, Xiao sat dejectedly on the bed, wrapping his arms around his legs.

"It's just a dream..."

Xiao buried his head in his arms, his eyes full of loneliness.

Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye I caught sight of the crystal on my right arm, and the familiar dragon pattern.

"It's not a dream, it's real, you've always been there..."

Seeing the dragon pattern, Xiao burst into laughter, wiped his tears, and gently stroked the pattern on the crystal as if it were a treasure.

The figure of Hei Xuanming appeared in his mind again.

He looked at him quietly, although without saying a word, he had already said a lot to him.

"I'll be fine, don't worry"

Xiao smiled happily, Hei Xuanming nodded slightly, relief and tenderness emerged in the cold optical mirror, and finally turned into particles and dissipated.

And Xiao also waved to him, as if saying goodbye.

You never left, you were always by my side.

very nice......
