Death Princess

"What's the matter, A Tong? Why haven't you woke up yet?"

"It's the first time I directly triggered the spiritual power, and I was just stunned." Zhao Lu's tone was not very good.

"A Tong is not a spirit race, how could it trigger spiritual power? A Tong..."

"There are so many things you don't understand about the Spirit Race!" Chao Lu was beaten by Xuemu, who was completely annoyed by the "A Tong" on the left and the "A Tong" on the right, "Instead of asking questions here, I will tell you How about practicing spiritual power that can’t even turn into a snowflake?” Waving his hands in disgust, “Get out! Get out!! Looking at you, my backlash is about to recur.”

Ou Xuemu was driven away.Han Shuangxue, who watched the fun from beginning to end, burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?! Have you figured out what happened to Jing Yu?" Even facing Han Shuangxue, Zhao Lu's tone was not much better.

"Bo Fan is concerned, so I don't need to meddle in it. According to him, Jing Yu is probably controlled by the person who took her other spiritual feather because of her lack of cultivation. I have a rough look at the corpses." Look, they are all cannon fodder who forcibly used spiritual power but failed to resolve the backlash, and they were probably sent to test some new discovery of their spiritual power transfer. Jing Yu probably happened to see yesterday's scene in a prophetic dream. Time was in turmoil, and he was controlled by the person who took advantage of the loophole, and now he has returned to normal."

"It's back to normal now, and I'm sure I'll become a humanoid sword wielder that my relatives don't recognize. First find a small dark room and lock it up, take me to calm down and then think of a way."

"Pfft, where's the little black room here?" Seeing Zhaolu glaring at herself unhappily, "All right, all right, the black room is the black room, Sister, you have the final say. You don't need to say, I understand, I will Leave without disturbing your alone time."

Just as Han Shuangxue stood up, she turned around and said, "Sister Lu, you have to take it easy, your injury hasn't healed yet, it's the first time for Leng Tong after all." After saying that, she left with a smile on her face up.

"..."

. . .

When Leng Tong opened her eyes, Zhao Lu was anxiously pacing back and forth in the room.At that moment, for some reason, she had the urge to close her eyes and pretend to sleep.It's a pity that the sharp-eyed Chao Lu quickly noticed the movement on the couch, came to Leng Tong with a big stride, and unceremoniously grabbed her hand that had been used to block the knife.

"Block the knife with your hand? Are you a diamond-covered iron shirt, or do you want to be a one-armed hero?" Even though she knew that Leng Tong's hand was not injured, Zhao Lu had to look carefully enough before letting go. opened hands.

Leng Tong avoided Chao Lu's gaze and didn't make a sound.

"Hey——you, you. I..." There were too many words rushing into my mind at once, and Zhao Lu was a little incoherent instead.

It was Leng Tong who took up the conversation, "The one on the pair of knives is your spirit feather?" She asked.

"I..." How should I explain it?Leave a spiritual feather for your body, or as a token of love?Chao Lu, who was always eloquent, was at a loss for words again at this time.

"Chao Lu," Leng Tong sat up suddenly, "I've been paying attention to what you said, what you did, and what you meant these days. It's just that I..." lowered her dim eyes , "I am not worthy of..."

"Don't..."

"Let me finish," interrupted Zhao Lu, "If you don't say it today, you may never be able to say it again in the future."

After a long while, Zhao Lu nodded and sat on the edge of the couch, with half of his back facing Leng Tong.

"I am not what you think," Leng Tong took a deep breath, "I will do whatever it takes to survive, but I am also very timid. I dare not face what I have done, so I put myself Locked in the high wall, it seems that if you don't think about it, things don't exist. Whether it's about the secret cabinet or the royal family, in the face of major events, escaping is always my first choice, but I don't know. Clearly, I cannot escape."

"I bear thousands of blood debts, and these will have to be repaid sooner or later, but I have royal blood flowing through my body, and I cannot avoid these. What you want is the coexistence of the two races, and the world is peaceful, and I, whether it is The blood debt on my body is still my identity, and it is destined to only bring you danger, just like countless times before. I..."

"I don't care!!" It was Zhao Lu's voice, "So much has been done before, so what's so scary about the future? What kind of difficulties and dangers can't we go through together? I'm already in the game. Your presence Whether or not, it won't change my situation at all. Besides, if you are really worried about what you said, shouldn't you stay here, let's face each other honestly, and face it together?"

She said that she doesn't care, she has to face it with herself.

"But I'm afraid!" Leng Tong's voice was no longer calm, "You said that people will change. I don't have the slightest confidence in myself. I don't know that when I really step into the palace, I will change." What would it look like. I wanted to pretend that I didn’t want to participate in it, deluding myself that refusing everything would avoid everything. But you also said, it’s impossible, the emperor can’t let me go, and I It's also impossible..."

"I can't help myself in the vortex, so I am afraid, I am afraid that I will change, I am afraid that I will...injure you again. That knife yesterday...I...if you have any troubles again, I should...I am afraid... ..."

Those two knives that hurt you are my eternal regret and pain...

Hearing Leng Tong's words, Zhao Lu sighed again.

For a long time, "Leng Tong."

"……Um."

"Today, we don't care about anything else. We put all grievances, worries, interests, fears, past, future, etc. behind us. I just want to ask, just one sentence. A Tong, do you have me in your heart? Maybe pretend Leave me? Do you... love me?"

She asked herself if she loved her or not.How can you not love it?But how can...

A long silence.Zhao Lu didn't dare to turn her head back, because, like a criminal who was waiting for the county magistrate's sentence, she lowered her head timidly, she was afraid of Leng Tong's decision, afraid of seeing Leng Tong's expression.

I don't know how long it took, but the long-lasting misty light outside the house has turned into bright sunshine.

"Have."

Zhao Lu almost thought she was hallucinating.Hearing this answer, she opened her eyes wide but forgot to raise the corners of her mouth. She stiffly kept her back facing Leng Tong, afraid that if she turned her head, this beautiful dream would be shattered.

"Yes," Leng Tong repeated again, "Chaolu, I too..."

Zhao Lu hugged Leng Tong, who was half sitting up, in her arms, she couldn't care about anything else.

"Chaolu, I..."

"Hush—" Zhao Lu whispered in Leng Tong's ear, "It will be fine in a while, it will be fine in a while, let me sit and dream for a while, let me... lean on."

No, if possible, don't make it a dream, okay?

Leng Tong fell silent.The hands she raised behind Chao Lu's back were trembling uncontrollably driven by the opposition between reason and emotion.Trembling and shaking, emotions once again defeated reason, and hugged Zhao Lu's shoulders that were not considered big.

It's called a while, but it's really a long time, because the two people who embrace each other don't want to let go.

"A Tong," Zhao Lu whispered in Leng Tong's ear, the warm wind blowing on Leng Tong's ear, itching, "Do you know another meaning of Ling Tong's gift of Ling Tong?"

Vaguely, Leng Tong remembered what He Yi had said not long ago in that dark cave.

Lingyu, a token of love.

"It's a token of love. You have taken all the tokens, and you have already said your words, so you can't go back on your word."

Leng Tong didn't make a sound, the last voice of refusal kept her silent, but she still didn't break free from Chao Lu's embrace.

"You said you were afraid, you don't know what the future will become, but people will change, and you don't know what you will become." Unaware of Leng Tong's inner struggle, Zhao Lu continued, "Actually, I'm also afraid. How can I not be afraid? When we are afraid, we should join hands, face the future together, and change together. Only when we are together can we have a future, right?"

She said that only together, there is a future.

"Actually, the only ones who use spirit feathers as tokens of love are the Phantom Spirits. Compared with the wind control of the Wind Spirits, the lightning control of the Thunder Spirits, the fire control of the Yan Spirits, the ice making of the Cold Spirits, the ice production of the Phantoms The ability to fully act on the word 'human' is actually weaker, but at the same time it is the strongest. Because talent is the foundation of this world, where there are people, there is the past, the present, and the future .And phantom spiritual power runs through the past, present and future."

She gave all of her past, present and future to herself.

"Now, I put my past, present and future together and turn them into spirit feathers and give them to you. I only hope that I can spend the rest of my life with you, change together, and face the unpredictable future together. Ah Hitomi," waved his hand, and a silvery-white light flew out from the two sabers not far away, and flew to Zhao Lu's palm, "Would you like it?"

"I……"

Zhao Lu's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't wait for Leng Tong's next words.

Pound, thump.This is the only sound in the room, but I don't know whose heartbeat it is.

But just when she was about to fall into the abyss of despair, a pair of strong hands slightly pushed her shoulders away, and then, something warm and soft fell between her lips.Warm, but with a scent like ice and snow; soft, but firmer than anything in this world.It used to avoid it because it was afraid of hurting the opponent, but now once it has made up its mind, it will never let go, even if there are cliffs ahead, even if there are mountains of knives and flames ahead.

A wall of ice soaring into the clouds, a drop of water inside the wall, and a ray of light outside the wall.The light penetrates into the wall, and the water hides in the corner of the wall. It is close at hand, but far away like the end of the world.Until today, the light penetrated the wall, the water embraced the light, the wall melted into more water, but also reflected more light.

The two people who kissed in one place hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to rub each other into their own bone marrow.That ray of silvery white light quietly drilled out from Chaolu's fingertips, climbed up the cheeks of the two, penetrated into Lengtong's eyebrows, and merged into her body with a new warm current, washing her veins.And this warm current is just like her former master, a bit playful, but absolutely reliable.

In the distance, in the corner of the wall, pairs of waist knives suddenly jumped out of the scabbard, with curved scimitar spines and sharp tips, and under the involuntary control of the two masters, they formed a heart shape.On the other side of the window, there was a cat standing and a bird parked. The bird tilted its head thoughtfully, and the cat slapped the bird away with a grinning grin.
