God's Gift

"From that moment on, I realized that death is like the extinguishing of a light. There is nothing left, nothing is left."

Yu Youyou put down the stone in her hand, her eyes as deep as the sea were calm and peaceful. She stroked Ning Yue's hair and asked, "So you moved the ghost domain here and planned for a hundred years just for Ajin's resurrection?"

There was no trace of regret in Ning Yue's eyes. He just rubbed Yu Youyou's hand and said with a smile: "This is her obsession."

"Like this." Yu Youyou responded, and then said, "Do you know how to move the ghost realm?"

"Of course." Ning Yue stared at Yu Youyou intently, his eyes full of smiles, and he could see through Yu Youyou's thoughts clearly, "But why should I care about the life and death of this Gusu person? I don't like humans."

Yu Youyou stopped talking and just lowered her eyes to stare at Ning Yue.

"The gods want to save them." Ning Yue tilted his head, his eyes full of innocence, leaned on Yu Youyou's legs and asked with interest: "When did the gods start to like humans? Because of whom?"

"Lu Keming?" Ning Yue seemed puzzled. "Or is it Shen Minghua, Ye Li, or Fang Ziang?"

Yu Youyou ignored Ning Yue's pretentious look, snorted coldly and said, "You don't need to worry about this."

Ning Yue pursed his lips and muttered, "Then forget it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he laughed again, and said with curved eyebrows: "But I won't tell the gods how to move the ghost realm. You like them now, but I still don't like them."

The expression in Yu Youyou's eyes did not change, but she stared at Ning Yue's smiling face with those calm eyes. After a long time, she pushed him away from her legs, stood up and was about to leave, but was pushed down by Ning Yue again.

Ning Yue pressed Yu Youyou's shoulders and whispered in her ear, "The gods want me to go back. I can go back in two days."

Yu Youyou looked back at Ning Yue and asked, "Don't you want to be a human being now?"

"That's enough." Ning Yue changed the subject and said, "But the gods must agree to my last condition."

"You say." Yu Youyou turned around and stared at Ning Yue seriously, and heard him say:

"I told the God last time that I still have one play to perform. This final play will be in two days, and the God must accompany me to finish it. However, the God must stay in the palace for these two days."

"Why?" There was some doubt in Yu Youyou's eyes, and she looked at Ning Yue's eyes in confusion.

Seeing that she did not agree immediately, Ning Yue smiled again and said coquettishly:

"I need the gods to help me prepare. This is not a difficult thing. I will never be a human again. Can the gods not even agree to this?"

Yu Youyou shook her head and said seriously, "But I haven't told Lu Keming about this yet."

"No problem, I will send someone to inform him, God, don't worry." Ning Yue arranged everything properly. Seeing that Yu Youyou was still hesitating, he approached Yu Youyou regardless of anything and said jokingly:

"God, please have mercy on me and grant my request."

Yu Youyou was frightened by Ning Yue's appearance, and quickly pushed him away, saying, "Okay."

"That's settled." Ning Yue laughed again immediately, stood up and patted his clothes a few times to brush off the dust on the silk. Then he approached Yu Youyou like a fool, showed her the eyebrows she had drawn, and asked:

"God, am I pretty?"

Yu Youyou stared at Ning Yue's straight eyebrows, which were as thick as sticks, and replied calmly, "It looks good."

Ning Yue felt satisfied again. He pinched his fingers together, moved lightly, and sang softly:

"Thinking back on my life, I used to act like a spoiled brat, and even now I don't believe in the past.

"This is also a lesson from God."

Ning Yue walked to Yu Youyou, took her hand, and led her into the house while singing.

He had his usual smile on his face when he sang this song, but his eyes, covered with heavy makeup, contained a deep sadness, which matched the smile, as if he was talking about the impermanence of life.

"He taught me to let go of my resentment, stop being coquettish, and reform myself and change my character...

"Don't linger on the passing water, turn back from the sea of ​​suffering, and realize the origin of the orchid early."

This was different from the erotic songs Ning Yue had sung in the past. Yu Youyou glanced at Ning Yue holding her hand, then looked up at Ning Yue with a smile on his face, and gradually fell silent.

When the two approached, the red fox on the high wall turned over and jumped into the top of the nearby paulownia tree. Its light figure flashed by and then it sat down in the shade again.

He stared straight at the two people's clasped hands, his golden eyes taking on a darker hue under the shade of the trees.

After the two entered the hall, the scarlet fox disappeared into the courtyard.

-

When Fang Ling walked into the house carrying the chestnut cakes, Ning Jin was in the yard, holding a piece of wild grass in one hand and teasing a white cat.

Seeing Fang Ling coming, Ning Jin stopped what he was doing and looked at him. Seeing a large stain on his robe, he frowned slightly.

"How did it become like this?"

As she asked, she walked to Fang Ling, took Fang Ling's hand and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, she found a wound at the base of her palm that was oozing blood.

"I accidentally fell while walking just now, it's okay." Fang Ling smiled foolishly, handed the chestnut crisps in his other hand to Ning Jin, and said with a smile:

"I changed the restaurant today. Jin, come and try it. Do you like the flavor?"

Ning Jin looked at the intact oil paper bag in his hand, his eyes froze for a moment, and after a while he asked:

"It's just a pack of snacks, is it worthy of your protection?"

Fang Ling smiled nonchalantly and said happily, "Everything Ajin does is worth it."

After saying that, he was afraid that Ning Jin would worry, so he explained: "I'm not in any pain at all, Ajin, don't worry."
