[Comprehensive] living to death

"What are you upset about?"

In Aoshuang, the capital of Qiao Country, the vegetation at the foot of Lingyun Mountain is slightly yellow in winter, and a thin layer of ash has accumulated on the dry roof.A dead leaf fell straight from the branch and hit the top of Ibarbara wood.He waved his hand impatiently and crushed the dead leaf into pieces.

"Ibaraki." Mingyue emphasized her tone.

The white-haired monster stood under the tree with his arms folded, glanced at her, and then looked away.This is the residence of the magistrate, not big, but very clean.There were no outsiders, and Ibaraki didn't know why he was angry, and he returned to his original appearance, with the red ghost horns poking towards the sky angrily.Mingyue had no choice but to go over and pull him, but he pulled his hand away.

This is an unprecedented treatment.Mingyue looked at him curiously, and raised her hand to poke his cheek. "What's the matter with you, is the kid throwing a temper tantrum?" She was funny, and softly coaxed him, "Isn't it because I hugged Itachi yesterday?"

"You also know?" Ibaraki turned his head, his expression quite dissatisfied, "Mingyue, before you said you were a younger brother, I'll let it go. What's going on with this one? How many younger brothers do you have?"

"Pfft—" Even though it was out of date, Mingyue also had a sentence in her mind: How many good sisters do you have?She couldn't help but burst out laughing. "No way, is it really because of this?"

"Mingyue!" The white-haired monster looked at her warningly, his expression became more gloomy, and black anger rose in his eyes again, "Do you think it's fun?"

Mingyue thought it was no big deal. "Occasionally there will be a parallel world, and the people on both sides are essentially the same. So for me, they are all relatives." She scratched her cheek, "and I was quite excited when we first met. Ibaraki, do you really mind that? Then... ..."

Ibaraki stared at her, as if waiting for her to promise something, but Mingyue hesitated.Itachi, no matter which side, is a very special existence to her. Although she knows that Ibaraki is jealous, she is only allowed to hug her younger brother, and she is not allowed to hug the king—not to mention just hugging when she is excited—this... this is a little bit Unreasonable.

Her hesitation and embarrassment all fell into Ibaraki's eyes.The big monster couldn't restrain the anger born of the desire for monopoly any longer, he sneered heavily, turned around and left.

"Hey? Ibaraki don't run away!" Mingyue grabbed his floating clothes, and then threw himself on his back, holding him tightly, "It's no use getting away in anger, let's discuss and solve this problem Is it okay to drop it?"

Ibaraki shook his body, but Mingyue still managed to maintain the tight hug, sticking to his back with a shameless face. "Then what do you want me to do to make you happy? Tell me, everything is negotiable!" She buried her head in his long, fluffy hair, rubbing against each other, looking pitiful, "I'm really sorry that you left him here alone. Empty, lonely, lonely and cold!"

Uh, isn't that a little too much?Mingyue felt a chill in her heart.

But for Ibaraki, her softness has always been useful.The big monster seemed to hesitate, then turned and looked down at her condescendingly, with suspicion flashing in his dark golden eyes. "If I tell you, you will agree? Very good." Ibaraki said bluntly, "From now on, you can't have physical contact with other people except me... No, you can't look at anyone other than me. Everyone no."

"Ahahaha..." Mingyue laughed dryly, "This...isn't this a bit too much?"

There was a sneer that couldn't restrain the killing intent on the monster's face.He stared at her, the dark golden demon eyes were originally oppressive, but now they were densely woven with shadows, black and oppressive, like the prelude to a storm.His cheeks were tense, his chest heaved vigorously, and a low syllable had already burst out, but the next second he turned his face away forcefully, and let out a big breath of irritability.

He endured.As before, he tried to be patient.

Mingyue held his face carefully and tried to kiss him.He didn't refuse, but he didn't kiss back passionately like before, he just lowered his head lightly and let her peck on his lips.

All of a sudden, Mingyue also felt a little wronged and unfair.However, she also endured. "Ibaraki—" she dragged her voice, trying to explain the reasoning again, "I will only be closer to my relatives. Don't you have close friends too? If you hug Shuten-douji, I will definitely not have any objections. ?”

Ibaraki twitched the corner of his mouth, black air rose around the dark gold eyeballs. "Even Shuten-douji, if he gets your attention—" He smiled murderously, "I will kill him too!"

The cruelty and violence that he did not hide anymore, all broke out in this smile.

Mingyue was startled, and it took her a long time to think of a rebuttal: "Wait, what I said is not the case..."

But this time the big monster really got away.As if he wanted to get rid of some emotions quickly, he strode out.Mingyue had no choice but to ask him where he was going.

"I heard that the monsters in the western sea are very strong." Ibaraki threw down such a sentence, and that sentence was quickly scattered in the wind.

Mingyue thought secretly, maybe it would be better to let him vent through fighting.So she stood there and watched him go away, only saying: "Hey, Ibaraki! The old rules—"

"Click to finish!"

……

"I'm thinking, am I being too self-righteous?" Mingyue sighed worriedly, and pushed Zou Yu's head away.The big white-fur tiger shook his head and continued to move closer tirelessly.

The animal riding shed in Cuihuang Palace was cleaned very clean, with only a faint smell of hay.Itachi is brushing a Zouyu.It was the best riding animal in the palace, with black stripes on a white background and swirling stripes on its forehead.Zou Yu lay on the ground reservedly, enjoying King Gong's preferential treatment with peace of mind.Mingyue stared at them, and her melancholy expression was also very beautiful-if she hadn't squatted on the pillar without any image.

Itachi continued his work methodically.Anyone who saw his seriousness and focus at the moment would think that Zou Yu's fur was worth thousands of gold.Hearing Mingyue's sullen sigh, he showed a faint smile instead.Stopping what he was doing, and stroking Zou Yu's head comfortingly, King Gong turned to look at her.He has the same appearance as his younger brother, but King Gong's demeanor is more stable and gentle, which can be seen from his quiet eyes.

"Are you self-righteous...why do you think so?"

"Because he was enduring from the beginning. It's not the first time he has expressed similar meaning, but it's the first time he's so unhappy." Mingyue frowned and sighed, "I know he doesn't feel safe, so I've been trying to express it My own feelings. However, it is simply impossible to ask no one to touch him except him. Sigh, I thought I had been doing a good job, and I could always let him relax slowly..."

Recalling Ibaraki's expression this morning, she lowered her head dejectedly.

A hand touched the top of her head.

"Itachi, you've turned bad." Mingyue said quietly, "You actually touched my hair with the hand that just touched Zouyu."

"It's okay, Cheng Lei is very clean."

Zou Yu also snorted dissatisfied.Mingyue didn't respond, but Zouyu on the other side of her was a little scared and took a step behind her.Zouyu's internal hierarchy is strict, and Itachi's end is the leader.

Itachi withdrew his hand and looked at her thoughtfully.

"Mingyue, do you want to break up?"

"Huh?!" Mingyue's face was full of horror, and she shook her head desperately, "I don't want to!"

Itachi frowned.In the blink of an eye, a bit of majesty belonging to the king was inadvertently revealed.

"Are you afraid of him?" Itachi said lightly, "Or is he threatening you?"

"No, no! Don't misunderstand him!" Just like all people who are in love in the world, seeing that their lover might be misunderstood by their family members, Mingyue immediately forgot the frustration just now and tried to argue for him, "He is very good to me. And he wasn't like this before, it's just because I suffered too much and the shadow in my heart won't get rid of for a while, so I acted in such a childish way. I just complained, and I didn't want to break up at all. Because... I I like him too."

As she spoke, she smirked again.

However, King Gong's expression became even more serious.

"Shadow..."

But it was precisely this kind of thing that was the hardest to get rid of, Itachi thought, and therefore the most dangerous.The shadow is like a poisonous snake, even if everything is fine on the surface, it is unknown when it will suddenly appear and bite someone hard.

King Gong considered for a moment, then spoke. "Mingyue, what exactly do you like about him? If it's just 'like', then it's best to break up."

Mingyue almost fell off the pillar.She wanted to see that it was a joke on Itachi's face, but she only saw a calmness without any personal emotion, which showed that his judgment was not impulsive, but deliberate. "If you say the same thing, you really deserve to be the same person." She muttered, still shaking her head, "No way. It's fine if I really just 'like' Ibaraki, but my feelings for him are far more than that. "

"Maybe..." She smiled, a little embarrassed, but frankly, "My feelings for him are deeper than I can imagine."

King Gong stared at her for a long time, then sighed slightly. "Then there is no other way." He felt a little regretful, but his expression was still indifferent.After staying on the throne for almost seven years, he has been able to deal with things more and more lightly despite the big and small storms.

"Mingyue, be careful yourself." He said, "If you change your mind, you can come back at any time. The position of Dafu is still reserved for you."

"Oh, I'm so embarrassed to say it. I didn't do any practical things before." Mingyue smiled heartily, and the previous awkwardness was swept away.She jumped off the low post and stretched.

"Thanks, Itachi, sometimes it's important to find someone to complain about. I hope I didn't waste your time."

The king's life is always busy.And because of the downfall of the heavens, monsters began to invade the human territory, a series of rumors slowly spread, and itachi, the king of the 塙, had to deal with more things than mountains and seas.But for him who is full of challenges, this kind of life seems to be just what he needs.

"It doesn't matter." Itachi smiled, and suddenly patted her on the head, "For brother, sister's affairs are always free to deal with."

"It's sister, sister!"

Mingyue smiled and wanted to hug him again before parting.But a pair of dark gold eyes wrapped in anger flashed through her mind.She hesitated for a moment, but in the end she just patted King Gong on the shoulder and left with a smile.

She suddenly thought of a sentence. She didn't know where it came from, but the general idea was: Why do some people don't want to fall in love after being single for a long time?Because compared with lovers, getting along with family and friends is much more relaxed and casual.

Having said that...

Mingyue thought, the person who said this must have forgotten how important the love for a lover is.

More than all the inconvenience and annoyance that comes with it.
