Chapter 120 – Soul Fire

Youlianchi, Hongqiao.

The lotus flowers, which are as good as jade and as dark as ink, bloomed all over the entire pond, like small handfuls of soul fire floating on the water.A flying rainbow bridge was erected on it, and a little girl was sitting by the bridge, dangling back and forth with her feet dangling in the air.The snow-white hair was scattered along her back, making her look like a cloud of mist that might disperse at any time.

Huo Lian frowned slightly, wondering if it was due to his psychological influence, Wei Xi's sense of existence seemed to be even weaker after only seeing him for a few days.

It's just that the so-called idea of ​​going to the past came into his mind, Huo Lian didn't even use any strength, his whole body was already floating, and then he landed on the Hongqiao lightly and delicately.It definitely wasn't the power of the wings. If the wings were used, it was impossible for him to be ignorant of such a big movement.The process of coming up from the foot of the mountain just now was the same. Huo Lian didn't expend any effort to climb up the road. Compared with the last time walking the same road, the time was shortened to one-third.

Huo Lian couldn't tell what kind of feeling this was, he just vaguely felt that the air flowing around him seemed to be under his control, as long as he wanted, he could take the wind to go to any place he wanted.

It is impossible to judge where this change came from. Did he suddenly master a certain skill without a teacher?Or did the power sleeping in his body suddenly wake up?It shouldn't be a bad thing to become stronger, but Huo Lian still felt a little uneasy that he couldn't ignore.

Forget it, there should be more than one hidden danger worth worrying about, right?Huo Lian suddenly thought of this incident, and immediately expelled all the haze that shrouded his heart, with a bit of "no worries if you have too much debt".

And he did have something urgent to look for Weixi, so he decided to focus on the present for the time being, took out the pre-prepared things, and placed them in front of Weixi with a three-point fawn. "I remember you liked the flower very much."

Huo Lian appeared by her side, Wei Xi was neither deaf nor blind, of course she found out early on, but for some unknown reason, she never raised her head to look at him.

It's the same now, Weixi just glanced at the... Yanwei flower that the other party handed over.

From the moment it leaves the branch, the life of a flower has come to an end.However, the flower in Huo Lian's hand seemed to be different, the bright red filaments formed into a cluster of flames, burning extremely fiercely, one could almost doubt that it had a scalding temperature at first glance.

Weixi did not accept the gift, but asked, "Are you flattering me?"

This is of course one of Huo Lian's goals, or it should be said that it is his means to achieve his ultimate goal. talk.There are only a few tricks he uses to please women, and he can't think of new tricks after they are used up.

Speaking of deep thoughts, Miss Weixi's thoughts are more than needles in the sea?Huo Lian remembers that Weixi was fine before she set off to find Ludia, well, it can’t be said that they had a good relationship at that time, because Bai Xinyue’s relationship was always awkward, but Weixi still didn’t reach the point where she rejected people. Thousands of miles away?No matter how you look at it, Huo Lian feels that this girl is like a powder keg today, and he is really afraid that if she is not careful, she will blow it up.

It is obviously not a wise move to go straight to the point and directly explain the purpose. Huo Lian began to find nothing to say, "You seem to like this place very much." He brought it here.

It can only be said that this firebird really lacks the experience of talking to women, even if it is a random topic to ease the atmosphere, judging from the result, it still stabbed the ant's nest.

Wei Xi raised her eyes violently, most of the time her big silver-gray eyes were empty, but this time even the dull as fire could see the hatred inside.

"No, I hate this place." And Weixi herself didn't seem to intend to hide it, instead she put all her negative emotions on her face. Even among monsters, her appearance can be called unique and different. Affected by emotions, the whole person looks even more gloomy. "I almost died in this pond, why do I still like it here?"

"..." Huo Lian couldn't answer.He really didn't understand, since he hated it so much, why did he come here several times?The area of ​​Paradise Island is not too small. Except for those places that are occupied by various forces and are not safe, there should be many places that can be used to hang out, right?

Weixi did not choose other places, but chose this place alone, is it to relive the feeling of dying?

In fact, this may or may not be the case, memory is often out of the master's control.What to remember and what to forget, memory often has its own selection criteria.Obviously it was something that I deliberately wanted to forget, but when I suddenly looked back, I found that everything was vivid in my mind.

There are some pasts that Weixi was unable to tell about when she came here last time, but this time she seems to be unable to bear it anymore. "Do you know why I almost died here?"

Could it be that he accidentally fell into the water?Huo Lian held back and didn't make a sound.If this kind of insignificant reason was true, it probably wouldn't still be fresh in Weixi's memory after a long time of baptism.

"I was almost killed. Not by others, but by my own grandfather. At that time, I was just five years old, and I followed my grandfather to participate in the sacrifice of monsters. He brought me here and pressed my whole head on In the lotus pond. His strength is so great, he is determined to drown me here. If I really die, the follow-up should be very simple. I can imagine that my grandfather doesn't even need to bother to destroy the corpse. Throwing the corpse into the pond is enough. I just don’t know, how many lotus flowers can bloom on the corpse of a young child?”

Huo Lian really wanted to ask what kind of reason would make a little girl die?Also, what does it mean that the lotus bloomed on the corpse?Weixi tells a creepy story, and behind this story, there are even more creepy secrets.

If it was Huo Lian not long ago, no matter what doubts he had, he would probably ask them directly without any concealment.But now he has finally learned a truth, it is not a wise move to get to the bottom of it.Once some chatterboxes are opened, countless demons and ghosts will be released.

Although the other party was tight-lipped, Weixi was able to display extraordinary insight, "You want to know what's going on under the lotus pond? You really can't imagine it? This shouldn't be a difficult reasoning. Not far above is On the altar of monsters, only the heart is used for every sacrifice, haven't you ever thought about where the rest of it goes?"

Huolian frowned, he even felt sick.The silt accumulated in the lower layers of the lotus pond is filled with...

No wonder, the flowers that bloom are like wandering souls.

However, Wei Xi seemed to think that he was not uncomfortable enough, and while handing over something, she said, "As for the reason why I must die, you should read this first."

Huo Lian spread out his palm, what Wei Xi had forced into his hand before was a hard scale, the size of half a palm.You can see a very soft and moist light from the front, but when you turn it to the back, a streak of bright red looks very ominous. If you read it correctly, it turned out to be blood.

A scene from the past came to Huo Lian's mind. It was on this Paradise Island that he was rescued by a white python when his life was hanging by a thread.Adding this thing in her hand, a terrifying reasoning was formed - Weixi abruptly took off a scale from her body, it was obviously bloody, but she didn't care at all.

"You have seen my appearance with your own eyes. What do you think about it?" Wei Xi asked pretending not to care.

Huo Lian couldn't answer. After all, too many accidents happened in a short period of time. Compared with Bai Xinyue's injury, the shock brought about by Weixi's transformation into a white python is really nothing to mention.

As for later, there was even less time for Huo Lian to entangle Wei Xi's mixed blood identity.

For his speechless, Wei Xi didn't seem to care at all.It was obviously the question she raised on her own initiative, but she never seemed to really expect an answer. "It's okay, you don't need to answer, I'm used to monsters ignoring mixed blood." While speaking, she withdrew the scale from Huo Lian's hand and threw it into the Youlian Pond.Enduring the pain to take it off, her purpose was just to let the other party take a look.

"The family in charge of the void respects black. If my father is completely demonized, he will also wear black scales. Looking at the whole family, I am the only one who looks like this." That's why she rarely shows the appearance of a monster in front of outsiders, not only Because of the lack of strength of the mixed blood, I'm afraid it's more... the disgust from the heart.

"It's just a white snake, it doesn't really matter much." Huo Lian didn't have the extra energy to consider every word he uttered one by one, he responded casually, and regretted it as soon as he said it.

"Perhaps it really doesn't matter today. All I got was being ignored by the clansmen. That's fine, I'm alone in a place like the Demon Committee, and I don't have any worries."

Whether it is the side of monsters or the side of humans, it is difficult for her to really integrate into it, but Wei Xi thinks that this is not all a bad thing, it is thanks to her undivided attention that she can climb to the current position in the demon committee.However, even these, she will have to give up completely in the future.

Weixi shook her head lightly, the lotus scent sent to her nose by the breeze reminded her of the fact that she almost died here in the past. "Huo Lian, have you really forgotten that mixed blood was a symbol of sin a long time ago. Fortunately, the number of mixed blood is extremely rare. Before me, there were only two records in the long history of monsters, and none of them survived. to adulthood. And after me, there seems to be no more hybrid born."

Huolian's heart tightened for a moment, Weixi's narration made him flustered, but he understood that it wasn't because of the history of monster-beast hybrids, the sentence "Have you really forgotten" that Weixi accidentally mentioned really made Huolian extremely uneasy, did he Really forgot?Forgot those things that should not have been forgotten?

Weixi just stared straight at the pond, the ripples caused by the scales falling into the water had long subsided, but she still stared at the water surface without blinking, she never noticed the uneasiness on Huolian's face, she just cared for herself He said freely, "No matter how you look at it, my birth was just an accident, and it was also an accident full of irony. My romantic father had many lovers besides his wife. Monsters also have human beings. Probably even my father could not have imagined that none of his wife and lovers with the blood of monsters could bear him a child, and I, from a human woman who was not favored Crawled out of the stomach.

"No matter how high and powerful my father is, everyone only remembers how humble my mother was, and the contempt and malice gathered on me. Although I can feel it all the time, I don't understand what it is, moreover Don't say to be on guard. After five full years, my extremely stubborn grandfather probably had to accept that I became the sole heir of the family. Before the sacrificial ceremony, the lingering disgust still prevailed, and my grandfather decided to wipe out my existence completely. The place he chose could not be better. The bones here are no different, no one needs to be noble, and it should have the same ending."

Perhaps the real story is more complicated.But after a long time, what remains in Weixi's memory are only these unforgettable parts, messy and loose.

She didn't even expect Huo Lian to understand the story, she just wanted to say it, so she said it, more like talking to herself.

Shrugging his shoulders, Weixi raised his head, just in time to meet Huolian's extremely deep gaze, half of it was probably because of the backlight, and the other half was because he was thinking about something.

Weixi suddenly realizes that today is definitely not a good time to look back at the past, but those things have already boiled over in her heart, if she still can't talk about it, she doesn't know how she should go through it.She had already missed an opportunity, even though she knew it was a mistake, she would not miss it again.

"Huo Lian, do you believe in extreme peace? I do. On the day I almost died, I encountered the luckiest thing in my life."

Huo Lian wisely stopped responding this time, and before he had thoroughly clarified his own ins and outs, it was really inappropriate to get involved in other people's stories.

However, some things have already happened, happened a long time ago.For the past, anyone can only recall and cannot change.

Weixi took a deep breath. She should have told him this sentence the moment she saw him at the headquarters of the Demon Committee. The limit is reached——

"Huo Lian, you saved me that day."

Huo Lian's gaze was still extremely deep, even a little bit more resistant. "Are you sure it was 'I' who saved you? And not 'others'?"

Weixi smiled slightly, this expression was like carved on a rock, meaningful and firm, no force in the world could destroy it. "I'm sure. You gave me a name that day—I forgot to tell you just now that I didn't have a name before I was five years old. But whether it's 'Wei Xi' or 'Mei Xi', you gave it to me personally Next. Have you now remembered what these two names represent?"
