My love game is too abstract
#136 - You are family
Under the twilight sun, Little Snake sat on the hillside, hugging her knees, watching a flock of sheep being driven back to the fold by shepherds below.
The wounds on her wings and arms still throbbed, probably from the flight just now.
Her eyes drooped, tears welling up in her sockets.
She hadn't expected the past to come knocking so soon; she had only just tasted the sweetness of life before being forced to leave again.
Every time she was accepted by others, these troubles would ruthlessly intrude into her life, bringing pain to her and those around her.
Perhaps this was the curse of being a mixed-blood, she thought sadly.
"Ji Xiaofei, Tao Hu, Serena..." she murmured these names sadly. Although she had friends in the past, none made her as nostalgic as this time.
Not even a farewell...
She had finally found a warm family, met people who truly cared for her, but reality cruelly snatched all the good things away from her.
Although she had experienced this many times, this time, she felt especially sad.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sob, then her crying grew louder and louder, and she raised her head, crying loudly towards the fiery red sky.
With a smack, a hand slapped the back of her head, directly interrupting her crying.
She covered her head and turned to look, seeing Yarrow standing there with a stinky face.
"Yarrow? How did you-" Her eyes were teary, staring blankly at him.
"How did I what? I haven't asked you yet! What are you doing running so far away at this hour? Your injuries haven't even healed!" Yarrow scolded her loudly.
He still used the magic pot's ability to locate Lula's position and found her using the Soaring Brand.
Lula's injuries hadn't healed, and she couldn't fly far, so he quickly found her on a hillside two or three kilometers away.
After scolding her, Yarrow used a voice transmission spell, and a small spot of light lit up in front of him. He said into it:
"The person has been found. I'll bring her back right away, no need to worry anymore."
The small spot of light received his voice and flew away quickly.
After finishing, he looked at Lula again:
"Do you know how worried everyone was? Serena blamed herself so much that she was already crying, thinking she was the one who lost you."
Hearing this, Lula's nose twitched slightly, and she turned her head away: "But I can't go back."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yarrow slapped her on the head again.
"Don't hit me anymore!" Lula covered her head and said to him unhappily, then lowered her head and murmured:
"You saw it that day too, I was being hunted down. The people who are hunting me down are an organization called the Black Iron Flower Troupe, they-"
"They are heinous and capable of anything. Because you have both the Feathered Serpent God bloodline and weak strength, and can heal infinitely, you are a cash cow to them. So that group of people all want to get you. Now they have obtained your information and are heading towards the royal capital, is that what you wanted to say?"
Yarrow finished speaking for her in one breath.
Lula opened her mouth slightly, staring at him for a long time: "You, how do you know?"
"Deduction... Although I don't think it's too difficult to guess," Yarrow said.
"Now that you know everything, why do you still want to keep me?" Lula asked, "You know their methods, right? Now, if you're still associated with me, it will only bring misfortune!"
"Oh."
Yarrow suddenly realized: "So that's why you ran away."
Lula turned her head away, hugged her knees: "In the past, I also met a very kind old couple. They were willing to adopt me, but after those people found me again, their home, along with the entire village, was burned down."
"I don't know if they are still alive, because at the time I only thought about running away, and ran without looking back."
She buried her head: "I thought they wouldn't be able to find me after I turned into a human, but I didn't expect-"
Saying that, she was silent for a moment before saying softly: "So you'd better stay away from me now, otherwise, if they come, they will also hurt you."
Yarrow looked at her for a long time, then nodded and said: "That's true, so you might as well go further away sooner, so as not to cause us trouble."
Lula's body trembled slightly, but she still slowly got up, opening her wings that were still a little sore. She was just about to take off when Yarrow rushed up and grabbed her.
"Damn it, you're really leaving! Can't you understand good words?" he said to her speechlessly.
"You, what exactly do you want!" Lula said in pain as he grabbed her shoulders, and pushed him away.
"I've already said it! I'm now being hunted down by the Black Iron Flower Troupe, since you know them, you should also understand their methods! Even with Zexi there, you can't avoid them hurting you! And Serena, Tao Hu, Ji Xiaofei, they will all get hurt because of me!"
Her tone was a little hysterical.
"So you just ran away yourself? If you leave, won't they be sad too!" Yarrow said.
"That's better than being implicated by me!" Lula said.
Yarrow looked at the stubborn little fat snake and sighed helplessly: "Do you know that Zexi has now gone to negotiate with the kingdom for you, just to discuss how to protect you next and solve the matter of those Black Iron Flower Troupe people."
The latest novels are available at six * nine * book * bar * first * published!
Lula was stunned for a moment: "Zexi, she... is negotiating with the kingdom for me?"
"After all, in her eyes, you are still her servant, so of course she has to take care of you," Yarrow said helplessly looking at her.
"Today, we have been negotiating with the kingdom all day, just to discuss how to face the Black Iron Flower Troupe's pursuit of you next. Although there is still some risk, it is much better than you continuing to wander outside in fear."
"Now that you are wandering outside, you will be caught by them if you are not careful. Do you want to continue like this?"
Lula was silent for a moment, then shook her head.
"Then come back with me."
She was still standing there hesitantly.
Yarrow stepped forward, took her arm, and checked the injuries on it.
"Don't stand there blankly, you need to change your medicine."
"Why are you-"
"What?"
Lula opened her mouth softly:
"Why help me so much? I'm just a mixed-blood, useless for anything."
"Why so many whys, you are our family now, isn't it right to protect you?" Yarrow frowned.
"Besides, I promised you before that I would make you a pure-blooded Feathered Serpent God, and now I haven't fulfilled it, and you ran away, where should I put my face?"
Lula looked up at him, then turned her eyes away: "I thought you were lying to me..."
"Even if I'm lying to you, I have to let me lie to you for a few more years, right?" Yarrow said.
He stepped forward and picked up Lula.
"Alright, let's go back. I guess Zexi will scold you a few words when we get back."
Lula leaned quietly on his shoulder and nodded gently.
