The young man in white smiled politely.
"To tell you the truth, I came here last night, but I have never even been to the second floor. To be honest, I came from a makeup store in Huaxiang... There, I saw two young girls, one with an ear I can’t smell it, and I can’t speak with my mouth.”
He heard that it was Zhu Tong from the Death Shadow Pavilion, and Yun's sister.
"I overheard that the two girls had previously been in contact with an invisible person, and then they were entrusted by the little shopkeeper to come to Fangchun Court to give a message to someone. So I I followed him, but didn’t go upstairs.”
It’s Mr. Jiyue. But the people from Fangchunyuan... must be Aoki. Therefore, the Yun sisters came to Qinggui to say something. Several people looked at Qinggui in unison. She had no expression on her face and didn't speak.
Cang Yu shook her fan slightly: "The two little sisters seem to have reported something. The little shopkeeper asked them to pass on a message and promised them to inform them of the whereabouts of a person. In exchange, if the person being conveyed agrees to the matter, she will He will also tell her where the person she is looking for is.”
Shi Wuqi looked at Qinggui.
"What did Yun's assassin tell you? Are you looking for your benefactor?"
Aoki nodded.
Cang Yu continued: "It seems that Qinggui Girl has done this. Then let me tell you where the person you are looking for is."
Before Qing Gui could react, Mu Wan was the first to react. She walked forward anxiously and asked loudly: "What does this have to do with my teacher... and the whereabouts of Yan Muxue? Who are you? What do you want to do with all this nonsense?"
Cang Yu calmly put down his fan and shook up his clothes.
"Are you going to go with us? Your enemy is also there."
They were silent. In this noisy lobby, their silence was so out of place and so inconspicuous, like the ripples caused by a stone thrown into a pond. Turbulent, but meaningless.
Cang Yu turned around and left his last words.
"The people we are looking for are all there."
Before dawn, on the edge of the distant Wule City, in the mountains, another story was unfolding.
With the information provided by Yun Qingzhan and Yun Qingxian, Ye Yuejun came to the suburbs where they met Jiyue Jun. Her sense of smell was very good and she easily found the hiding place of the two men. When they arrived at this dark cave, the other person became obviously alert.
"Don't be afraid," Jiyue-kun said gently, "He is one of our own. This is Mu Ranyanlai Hazuki-kun."
Long Miao seemed to have just put down his guard against Ji Yuejun. He looked at her and stared at the familiar crescent moon. He relaxed a little, and Ye Yuejun slowly walked in.
"Have you explained it clearly to him?" she asked him. Lord Jiyue nodded.
"That's natural. You are so busy that you can forget about serious things."
"Sorry, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence..."
"You can't relax at work."
"...I just don't want you to say that."
Ye Yuejun frowned and sighed. She looked at Long Miao and found that the other party had been staring at her.
"Jiyue Lord should have explained to you... We have no ill intentions, we want to help you."
"I know," Long Miao said, "but you...I always feel that you seem familiar. Have we met before?"
"Your senses are indeed very keen..."
Mr. Jiyue is indeed always liked by small animals or monsters. He always exudes a soft appeal, allowing those keen creatures to detect his "goodness". This may be related to his experiences during his lifetime - he died playing the piano to protect the little monsters. thing. Similarly, Lord Ye Yue also possesses similar affinity, but the origin of this affinity is completely different from Lord Ji Yue.
Long Miao then asked her: "Ji Yuejun said that you have a way to make me become a real person, is it true?"
"...Well, maybe, I'm not sure." Ye Yuejun frowned and looked at Jiyue Jun, "You actually made a promise with him like this? It's too..."
"Ah? I didn't. I just said that it is possible and we are willing to work hard for it." Lord Jiyue shrugged, "This kid still wants to be a human being from the bottom of his heart."
Ye Yuejun smiled bitterly and said with some hesitation: "If that's true, that would be fine... I think it's a little strange - the Taki Mansion adopted you and raised you to be an adult, but it didn't treat you well. Make things difficult for you and punish you at every turn, making you live worse than a servant in the Taki Mansion, and you have to be grateful for it. I heard that any maid can ride on your head, but you still have to make those inexplicable requests to provide for you. People laugh, people are entertained. Don’t you hate humans? I want to understand that.”
"Indeed," Long Miao sighed, his eyes illuminated clearly by the bright sky, "I can't say anything touching, so... do you want to listen to the truth?"
"If you are willing to tell the truth, that is naturally the best."
"I don't know what else I could be but a human being."
Lord Jiyue had been talking to him all night, so he probably already knew his attitude, so he didn't say anything, and just continued to let him talk, so that Lord Yeyue could understand the situation clearly. So, Long Miao continued:
"No matter what, I was raised as a human being, and I know all the rules of human beings... It's funny to say that, until now, I still can't understand, how could there be monster blood flowing in my own body? If not With the wings of the monster that followed me all the way, I might still be escaping from reality. I did kill people, and it was true that I escaped from Taki Mansion, but the same... I don't know where else I can go. Even if I go to the monster In this realm, will I be recognized by them? In their eyes, I must be just a monster, a dog raised by humans. I ran all the way, really confused, until Master Sui Mu found me, I still felt alarmed Very, almost hurt him. But he told me that there is still a way for me to go back... that is, to return to a normal, human life. You will take me to a far away place, right? And then everything Everything will start again, and my evil spirit will dissipate, right?"
Ye Yuejun didn't know what Jiyue Lord said to him, but he was indeed a talent in negotiation. What's more, Takimiao is not that old - he is less than twenty years old. To humans, he is an adult. To monsters, he is just a newborn who is ignorant of the dangers of the world. He can only be thrown into the territory of monsters. Waiting to die. They also don't know how long a true half-demon can live. It may be a compromise between the lifespans of humans and monsters, but the age of monsters also varies, so it's hard to say. For thousands of years, the half-demon that Liu Dao Wu Chang has come into contact with has not lived long due to various internal and external causes.
But no matter what, Ye Yuejun hopes that he can survive.
"The demonic energy...can be dissipated, that's right."
"Really?" He confirmed repeatedly, like a child who was afraid that his parents would renege on their promise.
"I will not lie to you."
Ye Yuejun's eyes gradually softened, as warm as clouds smudged by the early sun. A bright sun was rising behind her. Against the light, her outline became a little blurry in Long Miao's eyes. Her voice was warm and she continued:
"——I am a monster, I once was."
"What..." Long Miao's eyes widened, "I have only heard that among the six impermanences, there is only one monster. That person..."
"Yes." Ye Yuejun interrupted him. She didn't really want to hear that name. "You're right. Because now, I am indeed a complete person from top to bottom."
"Is it true? Isn't it a transformation technique? How did you do it?" Long Miao asked eagerly.
"For some... some reasons, I practiced for more than a thousand years before I was reborn, removed the demonic bones, and became a human being today."
Long Miao suddenly stopped talking, and his eyes became a little strange. This made the other two people a little confused.
"What's wrong?" Lord Jiyue asked him, "Do you have any doubts?"
"I do have doubts...are you a monster? A real monster?"
"Yes. Earlier, I was just a swan goose. My parents... I can hardly remember them. They were both monsters, so I was spared thousands of years of practice. However, if I want to become Human beings still have to take this step."
"Aren't all monsters happy? Most monsters look down on humans... They are weak and short-lived. Why would you think of becoming a human? Or maybe you are just doing it to become the Six Paths Impermanence... But what about Lord Kotsutsuki? He No..."
Ji Yuejun didn't dare to say a word, he realized that this child was really not shy at all - especially when Ye Yuejun's headache band rolled back and forth and jumped sideways repeatedly.
"...I have my reasons. If you follow me in practice, I will tell you slowly."
"Practice..." Long Miao lowered his head and raised his fingers, "For a real monster, apart from the art of transformation, it takes a thousand years to become a real human... Then do I need five hundred years?"
"You're pretty good with your calculations," Lord Jiyue said with a smile, "But that's not how you calculated it."
"No? What's that like?"
Ye Yuejun sighed, turned his head, and looked at the bright sky in the east.
"Depending on personal qualifications, some panaceas can also help with practice. Although, I think, Gaoyue-kun... there may be some shortcuts, but they are not orthodox after all. I hope you can figure it out yourself."
Jiyue-kun leaned over and whispered to Long Miao: "She has a very normal relationship with Gaoyue-kun - and she seems to be thinking about your blood."
"...My blood?" Long Miao looked at his white arms in confusion.
Ye Yuejun turned around, his eyes a little resentful.
"I'm afraid you are being chased by many people these days. Death Shadow Pavilion has an order and even contacted Zuo Jinmen to get some half-demon blood."
"If they want it, I can give it to them?"
Lord Jiyue also frowned and patted him with the hem of his clothes.
"You kid, you are so naive that it makes people laugh. You have lived in the world for nearly twenty years, don't you still know that people's hearts are sinister? Desires are endless, so are humans, and so are demons. Once your value is discovered, today If I want your blood, I will dare to take your life tomorrow, and I will make your life worse than death!"
Long Miao stopped talking.
Hazuki-kun murmured to himself.
"I just want to live... This is good, this is true. Living is the simplest motivation."
"It's just that as a half-demon, you have to move frequently." Lord Jiyue teased.
Ye Yuejun looked at him, looking back and forth a lot, and after a while, she suddenly grabbed his hand. He still had a little bit of white fuzz on his hands - something he couldn't get rid of. When they came into contact with Hazuki-kun, they slowly dissipated and melted into the skin, returning to their former appearance. However, Ye Yuejun still held him tightly, his eyes filled with mixed emotions.
"You...well, what's wrong with you?"
"No, it's nothing." Ye Yuejun let go of his hand, "I'm very happy...Jiyue Jun, listen, this child, he said he really wants to live, wants to...live as a human being."
"etc!"
Lord Jiyue suddenly raised his voice. Ye Yuejun didn't understand why he changed his tone, but then, she immediately noticed his intention. She immediately hugged Long Miao behind her and asked loudly at the bright cave entrance:
"who!"
Even the slightest movement should not escape their ears... But they were in such high spirits that they didn't notice anything strange for a while. By the time the movement was discovered, it was unknown how long people outside had been eavesdropping.
The first thing that reached out was the handle of a knife. What appeared next was a familiar figure. He moved closer against the light, and the dark shadow spread slowly like ink splashed on the ground.
"Let's stop looking at the future."
