In Wuyou Town, because of Fang Man's return, everyone knew about Su Huaixin's actions over the years, and they even became dissatisfied with the Qingyang Su family.
The elder and fornicator who guarded the barrier, Ying Yun, maliciously demonized the contracted beast, but he was so soft-hearted and guilty that he refused to kill the contracted beast. He even imprisoned Fang Man and used it as food rations. Qingyang Su family is indispensable for one person who neglects his duties.
Su Yi stayed in the town to deal with the aftermath, and it wasn't until the new elder guarding the barrier appeared that they set off back to Qingyang Mountain.
It was already three days later when I entered Xifeng Pavilion again.
A lake with clear water, a pear tree, the beds, screens, and all the furnishings in the house remain as they were when they left.
Hua Ruxue took off her shoes and sat barefoot under the east eaves, staring at the falling flowers in front of her in a daze. Last night she asked Su Yi, "If I become a demon, will you kill me?"
He bent his eyes, slightly opened the corners of his lips, and uttered three words: "You can't."
Su Yi taught her how to write, how to wear shoes, and how to be a human being. He was so stupid, he still thought she was a human being.
She was just so weak that she didn't have any talent as a monster, so Xiao Shitou had no choice but to plant a problematic spiritual root in her.
With Su Yi's caution, he should not assume that she is not a monster just because she has spiritual roots.
Recalling that at the beginning of the month, when Su Yi took her back to Xifeng Pavilion, he seemed to have tried to make a contract, but failed, and then the mark of the temporary contract appeared on her hand.
Therefore, Su Yi first discovered that she had spiritual roots, and then discovered that she could not be contracted. The combination of the two convinced her that she was a human being, and gave her so much special "care".
But, if she wasn't a monster, where did the temporary contract in her hand come from? She probably just wasn't qualified to be formally contracted.
How can we make Su Yi believe that she is a monster? She doesn't need candy, shoes, or Bigu Pills. She didn't want Su Yi to misunderstand, so as to win his sympathy and mercy.
She is a monster, a fox that can become very powerful.
Maybe, Su Yi will believe that she is a fox until the day she is also demonized.
However, such a day would never come, and she promised Red Fox to live well. As long as she wears a magic weapon to isolate the demonic energy on her hand, she will not become demonized if she does not come into contact with the demonic energy.
"Little Shitou, are you there?" Hua Ruxue asked.
Although the matter between Su Huaixin and Azhao was over, she was vaguely concerned in her heart. Xiao Shitou reminded her to be careful of Wuchen Village. Did it refer to the demonized seventh-level monster?
In the sea of souls, the green stone surfaced and whispered: "Yes."
Circles of blue ripples are interspersed with brilliant golden colors, and small stones occasionally swirl in the sea of her soul, making waves, and she also likes to see them.
"You reminded me to be careful of Wuchen Village. What did you find?"
Samsara Stone thought for a moment and replied: "The demonic energy in that colorful bird is different from other magical beasts."
"It is said that seventh-level monsters cannot be demonized, but the Chang Yingyun family has a magic weapon that can transform seventh-level monsters. It must be not easy to imagine the demonic energy."
If the Chang Yingyun clan abuses demonic energy, sooner or later the tragedy of tens of thousands of years ago will reappear. The monsters will be like that time, everyone shouts and beats them.
"Well, that demonic energy should be -"
The Samsara Stone hung quietly in the air, and there was silence everywhere.
The fox's ears twitched slightly, and the little stone said something she couldn't listen to.
"I seem to have found the trick to the method you recommended yesterday. I'll try it!"
Hua Ruxue quickly exited the sea of souls, stood up and pushed open the wooden door. What she saw was an eight-eyed silver snake that occupied the entire room!
Her right eyelid twitched hard, and she was shocked. When did this silver snake come? She didn't even notice!
The ethereal, melodious and somewhat brisk voice of Samsara Stone sounded in the sea of souls: "When you were sitting under the eaves in a daze."
"Then why didn't you tell me!"
"He means you no harm."
Hua Ruxue: ...Look at his eight eyes that are so angry that they can almost spit fire. Does that mean he has no malice?
This stone called Samsara had never been beaten at first glance. After all, no one would eat a stone.
"Little Shitou, next time, if there is any person or monster approaching, please tell me."
"Okay." The reincarnation stone agreed happily, and lay spinning in the sea of souls again.
After telling the unreliable little stone, Hua Ruxue faced the eyes of Badao who would not be relieved even if he killed her, and asked Yin She with a straight face and a hard scalp: "Is something wrong?"
The momentum must not be lost!
When she was in Wuyou Town, whenever the silver snake appeared, she would always stare at her. She originally thought she could get rid of the silver snake by returning to Luoying Valley. Unexpectedly, he would come directly to the door.
"Little fox, you are so smart, why not take a guess?"
The silver snake spits a long letter, and in addition to the rich floral fragrance, the air is also filled with a sweet fragrance.
"The little stone is snake venom!" He also said that the snake did not mean any harm! How can it be so harmless to poison someone as soon as they meet?
"Don't panic when something happens, you won't die."
"..." She shouldn't ask about this bland stone! You can figure it out with your toes. This snake couldn't be stupid enough to kill her in Xifeng Pavilion openly!
But if she is poisoned, she will feel uncomfortable, okay?
Silver Snake saw Hua Ruxue but didn't answer, and his figure suddenly tripled in size, surrounding her tightly. As he got closer, he could clearly see the subtle red between his silver-white scales. That color seemed to only appear on him. It only appears when you are extremely angry.
He narrowed his eyes, exuding a dangerous aura, "Can't you guess?"
Hua Ruxue turned her head slightly and found that her limbs could not move due to the snake's venom. If Silver Snake really wanted to harm her, she could just take action now.
Snakes are insidious and cold-blooded monsters. His words of "guessing the mind" surprised her. She didn't know whether he sincerely wanted to know what she was thinking or whether he was teasing her.
Before Silver Snake appeared in Xifeng Pavilion today, she had always believed that Silver Snake's hostility towards her stemmed from her occupying the position of Su Yi's contracted beast.
But now it seems not.
If Silver Snake wanted to be Su Yi's contracted beast, he would have had so many opportunities to meet Su Yi along the way in Wuyou Town. It was as if he didn't notice, and all his energy and eyes were on her. He didn't show any talent or make any move in front of Su Yi, and he didn't even look at other people.
What made her feel the most abnormal was when Azhao turned into a demon.
Su Ye didn't care and had no expression. Die Yao sympathized with Ah Zhao and couldn't bear to look at it. Su Zhi saw that the elder he once trusted and respected had almost caused a disaster, and he was struggling and painful in his heart. Su Yi tried his best to treat Fang Man at that time, but he also expressed sympathy and pity before and after.
As for Yin Snake, Yin Snake was the only one who showed joy at that time. He looked like he wished Azhao would go on a rampage and eat everyone.
Therefore, Silver Snake hates people.
It is different from her dislike of people, or it can be called "hate".
Hua Ruxue raised her head and looked directly into Silver Snake's eyes. Her petite figure was reflected in his raised pupils. She pretended to be victorious and said calmly: "You need my help."
Silver Snake sneered, and its eight eyes showed eight different expressions, as if it had heard a big joke.
He did not hide the hatred in his eyes, that kind of hatred, direct and sharp, as if it could not be eliminated even if the mountains and rivers were shattered and the sky collapsed.
In front of her, he never concealed it, as if all his misfortunes were caused by her.
"All the monsters in Xueji Pavilion used to envy you without exception, and so did I." Silver Snake almost gritted his teeth before saying such words.
It was this sentence that made Hua Ruxue suddenly think of the thin silver snake in Xuanying Palace that made Xiaohan Jing light up seventy-six lamps.
She couldn't connect the thin figure in her memory with the tall and powerful eight-eyed silver snake in front of her.
Why? Why did he become like this?
"Seventy-six lanterns! You don't know how happy I am! Seventy-six lanterns, the most talented among all the monsters! I still remember that time when you, who were originally so high, were suddenly kicked down from the clouds!"
There was a hint of nostalgia and excitement in Silver Snake's words. At that time, he should be feeling happy from the bottom of his heart. But the next second, eight eyes were aimed at her at the same time.
"With delicious food, dew, and those caring eyes, I will have everything you had before! With such expectations, I am heading towards hell!"
"You were just abandoned and fell into the place that should belong to you! But I went to hell! Obviously I am the most talented monster, but I went to hell! I don't understand! I thought about it I haven’t been able to figure it out for seven whole years!”
The silver snake's entire body was covered in a faint red color, and every inch of its scales exuded anger.
Hua Ruxue was overwhelmed by his emotions, but there was no fluctuation in her heart at the moment. She could not understand Silver Snake's anger. The Forest of Hundreds of Beasts is the place where useless demons should go. Where is the hell he is talking about?
Why has his talent not only improved, but his original aura has also disappeared?
Pear Blossom flew into the room and landed on Silver Snake's face. He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, slowly shrinking into a silver-white body, and entangled himself beside her.
After a long time, he calmed down, and his eight eyes revealed eight emotions: pity, love, joy, expectation, sadness, despair, resentment, and numbness. It seemed that the demon who wanted to destroy everything just now was not him.
He spoke again, and there was a rare lack of anger in his words.
"You have lived in Xueji Pavilion for three years, and they threw you into the forest of beasts and left you alone for seven years. Now they are going crazy and killing all the monsters in the forest, leaving only one who seems to have extraordinary talent. You! And I made you the lowest temporary contracted beast! Don’t you hate it?"
Silver Snake took another inch closer to her, as if she was angry that she wouldn't argue, or he wanted to convey his full hatred to her, "Your life and death, your stay, all depend on their words, don't you hate it?"
Hua Ruxue's pupils opened slightly, she didn't expect Silver Snake to care so much about her! But she doesn't hate it. She loses what she once had so easily because she is not strong enough.
In the Forest of Beasts, not just in the Forest of Beasts, the weak are not even qualified to survive.
Maybe Xiao Shitou was right. Yin Snake had no ill intentions towards her. She thanked Yin Snake a little apologetically: "Thank you, I'm fine now."
The expression on Silver Snake's face froze for a moment, and then he laughed wildly, as if he had heard some incredible joke.
"You don't hate it? You have been in Xueji Pavilion for three years and you have been in Beast Forest for seven years, but you have never cared about anything? They say snakes are the coldest, but I think you are!"
Hua Ruxue fell into thinking. She had many monsters and objects that she cared about, such as the morning dew and blanket in Xueji Pavilion, the red fox and rabbit, and her favorite candy.
However, you don’t need to eat the morning dew and candies, and you don’t need to use the blanket. The red fox and rabbit have left for a long time.
She didn't understand, "Why do we hate, and what do we hate?"
