Hundreds of days and nights to become a goddess

In Mu Qinghen's memory, he has spent nearly 300 years in the City of Beasts.I grew up here, took root here, and met Reina here.

Mu Qinghen likes to be quiet, and he never interferes with the affairs of the Ten Thousand Beasts City on weekdays.Compared with the rights, wealth, and power that Reina pursues, what he yearns for more is the daily life of looking through books and various herbs, or going out to relax after the rain.

Mu Qinghen could sense Reina's recent irritability, he knew that Reina's patience with him was decreasing day by day, even though Reina didn't show it on the face yet, he also heard the news that the bodyguard team was being rebuilt.

Follow the guards... Even if Mu Qinghen doesn't care about the affairs of the city, he still knows what it means.Mu Qinghen didn't blame Lei Na, because he knew it was his fault first.After all, he was the one who agreed to Lei Na's becoming a Taoist partner, but he has not given any further response for a long time.It is reasonable for Reina to be disappointed with him.

The only thing that makes Mu Qinghen feel strange is that he clearly remembers that he had such deep feelings for Leina back then, but why every time he thinks about it, his heart doesn't shake at all.Even if Lei Na chooses to betray now, what he feels is only relief, not... jealousy or heartache.

Could it be that Mu Qinghen is naturally heartless and desireless?

A heavy rain that had not happened in a hundred years fell in Wanshou City. Accompanied by strong winds, all the early blooming flowers in Wanshou City were knocked down.

The rain lasted for three days and three nights. When Mu Qinghen opened the door after the rain stopped, all he saw were fallen petals.It is clearly spring, but it lacks the thriving vigor, and instead adds seven points of decadence.

Mu Qinghen stood in front of the corridor and watched quietly for a while, then went back to the room and asked the boy to fetch a pen and paper, and then left the City Lord's Mansion.

There is an unnamed lake in the City of Beasts. It is not very big, but the scenery is extremely beautiful.Mu Qinghen likes to come here after the rain these years, because every time after the rain, the calm lake will be covered with a thin layer of water vapor, like a soft veil, lining the entire lake with mist.

This unnamed lake is not remote, but very few people come here.Most of the transformed monsters like lively and exciting places. For them, things like watching the lake view after the rain are better than going outside the city to arrange a fight.But it is also because of this that Mu Qinghen can be at leisure and come here often.

The heavy rain lasted for three consecutive days, and the lake level rose a lot, almost covering the wooden bridge connecting the river bank and the pavilion in the middle of the lake.Mu Qinghen took the little boy across the wooden bridge to the lake pavilion. While the little boy was laying paper and ink, Mu Qinghen stood in the pavilion looking at the scenery by the lake, and sighed softly in his heart.

In previous years, this day was the most beautiful time when hundreds of flowers bloomed, but it was a pity that it lost a lot of color this year.

"Master, everything is ready, do you want to draw?"

A child's inquiry came from behind, Mu Qinghen nodded and returned to the stone table.He had already memorized the scenery of the Wuming Lake by heart, and after a while, a pair of ink and wash appeared vividly on the paper.

After finishing the painting, Mu Qinghen held the pen and looked at it for a long time. For some reason, he always felt that there was something missing in the whole painting, but he couldn't figure out what it was for a while.

After a while, Mu Qinghen finally put down his pen, lowered his eyes and said to the little boy, "Take it."

"Yes." Xiaotong could see that he was not in high spirits, so he obediently responded, and began to pack his things.

Mu Qinghen walked on the wooden bridge and was about to go back home, when he looked up, he saw the light pink figure standing under the willow tree not far away by the lake.

It was still early at this time, and there was only one person standing alone by the unnamed lake, which was sparsely populated, which was eye-catching.Mu Qinghen led the little boy across the wooden bridge to the lakeside, and finally saw the woman's appearance clearly.

"is her?"

After recognizing who she was, Mu Qinghen paused and stopped, slightly amazed in his heart.At this time, the woman also seemed to have a sense, turned her head, and looked in his direction.

"...Mu, Mr. Mu?"

Although she didn't make a sound, with Mu Qinghen's cultivation level, she could see her mouth clearly.

Same as last time, whenever he got close to her, Mu Qinghen would have a very familiar feeling.What that feeling was, Mu Qingchen couldn't say, but he knew that there seemed to be something about her that was attracting him.

Then it was still the same as last time, Mu Qinghen walked over again.

"Son."

The little boy reminded him quietly behind him, Mu Qinghen pursed his lips slightly, waved his hand sideways, and said, "You go back first, I'll be back home in a while."

"But son, if the city lord finds out—"

"It's not your turn to comment on my affairs."

Rarely, there was a trace of unhappiness in Mu Qinghen's tone.No matter how good-tempered Mu Qinghen is, he is also a cultivator at the stage of transformation. The boy trembled all over, so he dared not talk too much. He turned around with Mu Qinghen's painting and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Mu Qinghen from behind.

"Wait, leave the painting."

Mu Qinghen took the painting from Xiaotong's hand, watched the person walk away, and then walked slowly towards the tree.

"Mr. Mu, I didn't expect to see you here." Sensing Mu Qinghen approaching, Chu Huan, who was waiting for success, turned his eyes away from the lake, put on a just right smile on his face, and looked at him Said, "I mistakenly identified you as an old friend of mine that day, how offensive."

"It's okay." Mu Qinghen shook his head, involuntarily lowered his tone, and replied gently.

"I am very similar to that old friend that Miss Chu knew?"

"...Like, very similar."

Mu Qinghen's words seemed to bring back some of her memories, seeing her smile faded a lot, replaced by a sad expression mixed with nostalgia, Mu Qinghen was speechless for a moment.His eyes lowered, but he inadvertently glanced at a jade pendant hanging around her waist.

When he found the piece of jade, Mu Qinghen's heart suddenly trembled, which surprised him.

Mu Qinghen has always thought that he is a person who has no desires and no desires. Although he has a gentle temperament, he is very indifferent, and there are very few things that can attract his attention.Even when he got along with Lei Na, whom he had known for hundreds of years, he never had any other unnecessary reactions, but this woman named Chu Yunxin in front of him, he had only met twice, but every time he would have this feeling...

He opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then asked carefully: "I don't know where the jade pendant on Miss Chu came from."

Of course I got it from your senior brother Gu Qingyun, and you made it yourself, a little art master with a perfect score in the handicraft class!

Chu Huan had expected that he would ask this question a long time ago, seeing Mu Qinghen jump into the pit that he and Chang Mochen had prepared long ago, he was obviously very happy in his heart, but he still showed that melancholy look on his face. appearance.He gently stroked the vivid phoenix pattern on the jade pendant with one hand, and said: "This is the token that the old man gave me many years ago."

"A token?"

Mu Qinghen's voice raised half a degree unconsciously, and he didn't realize that he had lost his composure until he realized that the woman from the opposite side was looking at him in surprise.

He was startled, then adjusted his emotions, and explained: "I'm sorry, I just suddenly thought... Isn't Mr. Chang who was with you that day your Taoist companion?"

Chu Huan's face became a little ugly, and his fingers unconsciously clenched the jade pendant until his knuckles turned white, "That's not the master's order...Of course, if it wasn't for that person who left without saying goodbye, and suddenly there was no news, I wouldn't have, It's not that-"

In the middle of speaking, Chu Huan suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something that he shouldn't have said just now, he stopped the next words all of a sudden, as if he was suddenly relieved of all his strength, he shook his head lightly, No more words: "I'm sorry, maybe it's because you are too similar to him. If I'm not careful, I'll say too much."

Mu Qinghen didn't expect that he would get this kind of answer. He recalled Zhizhou's undisguised desire to possess the woman in front of him every day, and also thought of the situation that she would appear here alone today, and he couldn't help feeling faintly that he might Guess what.

"It's not peaceful in Wanshou City. You are alone, and be careful in everything." After Mu Qinghen thought about it, he still felt uneasy after all, so he said, "I'd better send you back, where do you live?" ?”

"Are you sending me?" Chu Huan gave him a half-smile look, then shook his head, "I'm afraid I'll be even more dangerous if you send me back."

"You know who I am?"

"Mu Gongzi, Mu Qinghen, I heard about it later."

Mu Qinghen probably knew what she had heard, so he didn't mention sending her back.

Mu Qinghen didn't talk much, and Chu Huan knew that awakening his memory needs to be done step by step, and haste makes waste, so he didn't tease him any more.

The two stood side by side, staring at the lake silently for a while, and Mu Qinghen finally bid farewell.

"Master Mu, have you ever wondered why you understand lip language?"

Just before Mu Qinghen left, Chu Huan asked suddenly.

Mu Qinghen never thought about this question, and he always took it for granted that he knew lip language, so when Chu Huan asked him, he couldn't answer for a while.

After a while, he asked back, "Ms. Chu still thinks I'm Su Juntang?"

"..." Chu Huan was silent for a long time, then lowered his eyes desolately, shook his head and said, "No, I was dazed."

Mu Qinghen didn't know how to answer her, the two looked at each other speechlessly, and finally had to leave separately.

Chu Huan, who successfully completed the task, swept away the melancholy on his face just now, and went to meet Chang Mochen with joy, would never have thought that after he and Mu Qinghen parted ways, Mu Qinghen returned to the City Lord's Mansion and took the The paintings along the way were spread out on the desk.After looking at it for a long time, I finally picked up the pen and painted a touch of pink on one of them...
