God's Gift

Lu Keming held his head with both hands and kept pulling his hair. He was no longer as calm and composed as before. A bit of panic appeared on his face. He kept muttering to himself: "My ring..."

"Lu Keming, what's wrong with you?" Yu Youyou's voice became much softer.

Lu Keming raised his head, but his eyes were extremely bloodshot, veins on his face bulged, his teeth were clenched, his whole body was shaking, and he shouted at Yu Youyou in a stern voice.

"roll!"

Yu Youyou was stunned for a second and opened her mouth, "What?"

"I told you to get out!" Lu Keming clenched his fists, pushed Yu Youyou into the crack in the cave wall, and pushed her to the other side.

"Don't come over here, get out of here!" Lu Keming's teeth kept chattering because of his trembling. He stared at Yu Youyou, who was confused on the other side of the gap, and retreated into the darkness with his body hunched.

The mental strength in his body had been completely sucked away. Without the suppression of the dragon ring, his pale skin began to crack and scales began to grow out impatiently.

These scales exposed the fact that he was a monster.

Lu Keming retreated to the wall of the cave and gradually knelt down. His scarlet eyes stared at the black scales growing on his hands. He looked towards the gap where Yu Youyou was and took another step back.

The darkness hid his figure, but soon lost its effect.

The wings burst out from his shoulder blades, and the narrow darkness would soon be unable to hide his figure.

Lu Keming looked at the scales on his hand, stretched out his hand, grabbed one of them, and tore it off his hand.

The tail end of the scale was torn off with the skin.

Bright red blood gushed out, and the intense pain reminded Lu Keming of something that happened a long time ago.

"A monster! He has scales on his hands! He's a monster!"

His young body was kicked to the ground. He looked at the children of his age in panic and kept begging: "I'm not a monster, I'm not a monster..."

But the fists and kicks that fell on his body ignored his pleas.

With tears all over his face, he curled up, enduring the pain in his body. He kept denying it in a weak voice: "I'm really not a monster, I'm a human..."

Why was he different from them, why did he have such dirty, ugly things growing out of him, why was he a monster?

The children vented their anger and left together. He dragged his broken arm and crawled to a dark corner. The cars passing by splashed dirty water on him.

He curled up his body, stared at the scales on his arms with resentment, and suddenly, like a madman, he used his other hand that could still move to tear off the scales piece by piece.

The blood flowed more and more, staining the soil around him red.

There was a gloomy and crazy smile on his face.

Then he would be like them.

He was no longer a monster.

Some people stopped with pity, looked at the child covered in blood, and wanted to touch him, but after seeing the strange smile on his face and the scales around him, they left in disgrace.

A tear rolled down from the corner of his eye. Lu Keming opened his eyes and looked at the glowing plants around him. Only his position was dark.

Lu Keming pulled up a smile, and continued to tear off the scales with his hands, until a pile of scales formed on the ground, and the bright red blood dyed all his clothes red.

The scales in the skin and flesh are still growing.

He suddenly let go of his hands, allowing the scales to grow wildly, and his black pupils gradually turned into golden vertical pupils.

Those eyes were like precious gold and stone, without any warmth.

So what if I’m different from others?

Then kill everyone who is different from him.

He was the only one left, so how could he be a monster?

"Heh..." Lu Keming's mouth curled up in a cold arc, and he raised his scaly hand and pressed it on Leng Bai's face. The bright red blood flowed down the skin, and tiny scales covered the lower jaw.

-

On the other side, Yu Youyou, who was pushed to the other half by Lu Keming, stood there blankly. After a while, she scratched her head and left the gap.

Although she didn't know why, Lu Keming seemed to not want her to see him now.

An underground river runs through the gap and flows downwards.

Yu Youyou walked along the river for a while, sat on a rock and closed her eyes.

Lu Keming just said that his ring was missing?

On the other side, when she closed her eyes, the plants on the cave wall began to grow faster, and the vines climbed along the wall until they climbed up a tree.

A silver dragon ring was hanging on the branch, and the dark blue gem was shining with a cool light.

Yu Youyou opened her eyes and touched her chin.

At Lu Keming's place.

"He has a bad temper, right?" Just as Youyou was thinking about it, a vague and distant voice came from the side.

Yu Youyou turned her head and looked at the man in black who had appeared in the forest a few days ago. He stood behind Yu Youyou, his black robe fluttering in the wind.

"No." Yu Youyou shook her head and gave the man in black a negative answer.

After hearing Yu Youyou's answer, the man in black was silent for a while before saying, "I used to be like him..."

"What's the matter?" Yu Youyou tilted her head and asked puzzledly.

"So arrogant and domineering." The man in black looked at Yu Youyou, his face obscured by the black mist, and his voice was distant and ethereal.

Yu Youyou turned her head, supported her chin and looked at the glowing plants on the wall of the cave without responding.

"Young people always think they are invincible and don't care about anything." The man in black also sat down and sighed.

"You seem to understand a lot of things." Yu Youyou pursed her lips and said casually without looking at the man in black.

A light laugh came from beneath the black-clothed man's robe. "Maybe it's because he has lived too long."

Yu Youyou was now interested. She turned her head and looked at the man in black, "How long?"

"Probably..." The man in black said these two words and paused, as if he was thinking.

The air becomes quiet.

"a thousand years……"

"That's not the case either..." Yu Youyou was about to say something soon when the man in black spoke again.

"...20,000 years, or 30,000 years, or 40,000 years..."

Yu Youyou's eyes rolled around and then she fell silent.

Well, that was quite a long time.

"The time is too long, even I can't remember it clearly." The cold wind in the cave blew the fog in front of the man in black, and the fog quickly condensed again.

The man in black looked at Yu Youyou and smiled faintly again.

"What on earth do you have here for?"

Yu Youyou thought for a second and realized that he might be talking about the system. "Oh, this, it asked me to capture Lu Keming."

Yu Youyou pointed in the direction of the gap, where Lu Keming was.

The man in black seemed stunned for a second when he heard this answer, but he quickly came to his senses and asked, "Is that so?"

Yu Youyou nodded, "Yes."

The man in black looked at Yu Youyou with his face covered by black mist, then turned his head away. His voice was ethereal but firm.

"He will love you."
