The corner of his mouth twitched silently.
A hint of inexplicable emotion suddenly flashed across Kuchiki Fuyun's originally empty eyes.
"well......"
The mud rain in the sky continued to fall.
Araki Hayato sat cross-legged on the edge of the crater and lamented in a melancholy tone.
"A little girl like you shouldn't be responsible for the sins committed by our fathers. Your life should be your own decision."
Muddy raindrops fell mercilessly on the pale face.
Kuchiki Fuyun closed his eyes and couldn't help turning his head in the opposite direction. Even though the rain wet the hideous wounds all over his body, he still gritted his teeth and remained silent.
"What a mess..."
He raised his eyebrows impatiently.
Wang Defa turned over and fell to the ground, and asked: "Old man, what exactly do you want to say, can you please be more relaxed?!"
He raised his head and took a deep breath.
Araki Hayato shook his head silently and finally talked about Kuchiki Fuyun's life experience.
In fact, the world only knows that she is the only heir of the Kuchiki family and has the natural right to manage the land and water.
But few people know that being born into a daimyo family in an empire where the sun never sets is probably the greatest misfortune for Fuyun Kuchiki in his life.
Many years ago, when Kuchiki Dongyun was still an infant, his mother died of dystocia.
As for her father, he blamed all this tragedy on Fuyun Kuchiki.
He stubbornly believed that she was an evil person, and it was all because of such a sudden baby girl that he took away his beloved wife.
In the end, his father put aside everything behind him and resolutely went to hell with his wife, willing to die for love and pass away one after another.
And because of this——
Kuchiki Fuyun's father has completely become a shame to the Kuchiki family.
To actually give up his life and the glory of his family for a woman is undoubtedly a cowardly act in the eyes of other great names in the Empire where the sun never sets.
In order to revive the Kuchiki family tradition.
The already old Kuchiki Yasuo learned from the painful experience and could only put away his heavy heart and put all his hopes on the still young Kuchiki Fuyun.
Strict to almost harsh requirements, boring study and practice day after day.
These gadgets have long been commonplace in Kuchiki Fuyun's childhood.
More importantly.
Because it reminds me of the criticized black history of Kuchiki Fuyun's parents during their lifetime.
Kuchiki Yasuo's discipline of his granddaughter can be said to be extreme to the point of perversion.
She is not allowed to play with her peers, let alone any toys that may cause her to become discouraged.
The honor of the family is above all else and personal feelings are irrelevant.
As the daimyo heir of the Kuchiki family, he must be ruthless and must not have any boring personal emotions.
Emotionality represents cowardice, while kindness is a sign of incompetence——
Kuchiki Fuyun's childhood life was completely submerged by this kind of brainwashing and high-pressure education, and there was almost no freedom at all.
A miserable childhood created Kuchiki Fuyun's extreme and indifferent nature.
After the death of the previous generation Daimyo Kuchiki Yasuo, the female samurai with a twisted personality finally succeeded in inheriting the "Tiger of Kai" and firmly sat on the throne of power.
In order to carry out the legacy of the ancestors of all generations who wanted to revive the Kuchiki family, Fuyun Kuchiki's actions began to become frantic.
The one-word dictatorship, coupled with the one-size-fits-all "no-arms" policy, is like a sharp blade, severely cutting off the backbone and hopes of the people of Aomori County, and at the same time cutting off the atoll island that needs to be improved. of all possibilities.
What she wants to do is to use a high-pressure reign of terror to make the entire Aomori County the most efficient chess piece in her hands.
Chess pieces don't need to have thoughts, and they don't even have the right to make suggestions.
If there is no objection, there will be no contradiction.
As the only person playing chess, Kuchiki Fuyun represents the will of everyone in Aomori County, which is supreme and unquestionable.
But looking at it from the other side, her life is also extremely sad. She is just a mere tool to revive the family.
There are no friends, no personal life, and even after Kuchiki Yasuo passed away, there is not even a so-called relative...
"Back then, when I was working under your grandfather, I once persuaded him nicely that he could not continue to treat you like this..."
Araki Hayato smiled bitterly and said: "But he was already old at the time and was eager to train the successor of the family. He simply couldn't listen to my advice. Over time, he even kicked me out of the famous family for this matter. Ten years of friendship were finally ruined."
"This farce should end..."
He pondered for a moment.
Hayato Araki looked gloomy and continued: "The 'ban on martial arts' you promulgated has become a huge disaster for Aomori County. It is time to bring order to the chaos so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment again, and at the same time, you can also find your lost self. "
After a few words.
Including Xue Yun, all the bystanders fell silent.
Holding a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, Hu Kui looked at the seriously injured female warrior in the crater with drooped eyelids, his expression a little sad.
Among the people present, he was the only one whose experience was very similar to that of Fuyun Kuchiki.
They were both born into a distinguished family, and they were also responsible for the peace and rejuvenation of the region. Even the oppression, torture and blows they suffered during childhood were almost the same.
Hu Kui can completely sympathize with Kuchiki Fuyun's misfortune.
However, the paths they chose were completely different.
Under pressure, Kuchiki Fuyun became a vassal of the family, unknowingly losing himself and turning to persecute the people under his jurisdiction.
As for Hu Kui, he has been resisting the high-pressure education of his father Hu Haiquan since he was sensible.
Until the battle of Longdu, Hu Haiquan sacrificed his life for justice, died with the enemy, and died in the wilderness outside Longdu city.
At that time, Hu Kui finally reconciled with his family and at the same time reconciled with himself, vowing to protect the land under his feet and become a qualified city lord.
He glanced at Hu Kui beside him.
Xue Yun instantly saw what was on this guy's mind, and quickly raised his hand to pat the other person's shoulder as a token of comfort.
The two brothers looked at each other, then smiled and nodded in unison. In fact, everything was already said.
In front of him, Kuchiki Fuyun was alone. He was trapped in a cocoon and seemed to have nothing left except his power.
In contrast, Hu Kui not only has faith in his heart, but also has a group of trustworthy and like-minded friends around him.
The endings of the two are completely different——
"You don't have to worry about my affairs..."
He was seriously injured and dying.
Kuchiki Fuyun gritted his teeth and said: "Winning kings and losing bandits have been a phenomenon since ancient times. It's all because my skills are inferior to others, so there's no need to pity me."
"As for my life, it was actually destined to be like this a long time ago..."
There was a pause.
The stubborn female warrior smiled coldly and growled unwillingly: "Living in this sad post-apocalyptic wasteland era, both nobles and commoners have their own destiny, and as the only heir of the Kuchiki family, I don't have any destiny at all. There is no other way to go but to shoulder the mission of revitalizing the family and work step by step."
"This is my life..."
A sad smile.
Kuchiki Fuyun said helplessly: "No matter what, I have to admit it!"
boom--
As soon as he finished speaking, a dull roar suddenly rose.
Xue Yun, who was not far away, raised his foot and stamped hard on the ground. The remaining power was just enough to launch the seriously injured female warrior in the crater into the air.
"Your life... is your own, who are you showing it to?!"
Whoosh~~
Xuankong suddenly flashed in front of Fuyun Kuchiki.
Taking advantage of the situation, he grabbed the opponent's collar and shouted in a deep voice: "This world is not perfect, but you always have the right to choose!"
The sonorous and powerful shouts instantly resounded through the sky.
Kuchiki Fuyun was stunned on the spot, staring at the slightly indignant face of the man in front of him, speechless for a long time.
Everyone was stunned for a while.
They were also shocked on the spot by Xue Yun's actions.
Only Hu Kui on the side took a puff of cigarette silently, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and showed a meaningful smile.
The words Xue Yun said just now were exactly what Granny Ya had warned Hasen before she died in the bamboo forest.
In life, there will always be moments when you cannot help yourself.
In the face of all kinds of suffering and helplessness in the world, apart from gritting one's teeth and carrying it on, the only thing one can do is to maintain one's original intention.
We are not brought into this world to follow the crowd and be complicit.
But to see how the flowers bloom, how the water flows, how the sun rises, when the sunset sets...
Bang~~
He threw his hand and threw the stunned female warrior to the ground.
Sand and gravel are flying, and strong winds are blowing.
"Every injustice has its owner, every debt has its owner..."
Xue Yun waved his hand fiercely, removing the combat status of "Demon Lord of Six Paths", and immediately set off an inexplicable golden whirlwind.
next moment--
The huge ghost beast was summoned, its golden hair stood upright, and the blue lines on its back and torso were like water marks, blooming with dazzling brilliance.
"Big Cat, I'll leave her to you."
Narrow your eyes.
Xue Yun's eyes were blazing and he said in a deep voice: "You make up your own mind on what to do."
Roar......
A low growl came from his throat.
The ghost beast in front of him raised its huge paws, grinned, and slowly approached Fuyun Kuchiki.
In an instant.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
The feud between the Kuchiki family and the Earthbound clan spanned almost half of the history of the post-apocalyptic wasteland era.
Falling into the hands of the Demonic Beast, how could Fuyun Kuchiki have any chance of survival? !
It doesn't take a while.
The ferocious beast monster has already arrived in front of the female warrior. They both looked at each other, but they were only a few feet away.
The fangs were grinding together until they rattled, and the big cat's body was arched high, as if it would pounce forward at the next moment and tear the opponent into pieces.
Looking at the current Kuchiki Dongyun, his forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and he was as silent as a chill and did not dare to let out his breath easily.
"snort! 』
Suddenly he groaned.
Hot air flowed out of his nose, and it unexpectedly hit Fuyun Kuchiki's face.
The ghost beast rolled his eyes, turned around on the spot, shook his head and said coldly: "She's just a useless person. I have no interest in this bitch anymore and I'm too lazy to waste time on her..."
See this.
Everyone couldn't help but turn to stone on the spot, especially Hayato Araki, who let out a long sigh of relief.
"I said, you have to think about it carefully..."
Standing not far away with his hands behind his back.
Xue Yun grinned and reminded: "The other half of the 'soul of beasts' still remains in this crazy woman's body. That belongs to your Earthbound clan. Do you really let her go so easily?!"
"They are just external things. What's more, I have found the meaning of my survival..."
He looked back at Kuchiki Fuyun.
The big cat's eyes were extremely deep, and he shook his head and said: "Even if I don't have the complete [Soul of Beasts], as long as I stay with the boss, I will one day become the strongest freak in the history of the Earthbound clan." 』
"after all......"
Raising its huge head, the big cat couldn't help but look at the sky.
At some point, the muddy rain stopped, and the dark clouds slowly dispersed.
A ray of dawn sun jumped out from the east, penetrated through the thick clouds, and swayed over the dilapidated fields.
Grinning.
The ghost beast was full of confidence and said sadly: "My ancestor once said that he will always watch me in the sky and watch me become a real tiger!" 』
He nodded with satisfaction and waved the beast monster back into his conscious space.
Smiled happily.
Seeing that Da Mao finally let go and made his own choice, Xue Yun was sincerely happy for him.
The petite body was slightly startled.
Fuyun Kuchiki, who was sitting paralyzed in the ruins, his lips trembled slightly, and the tense nerves in his whole body finally collapsed completely.
Compared to the Ghost Beast, her life is undoubtedly full of tragedy.
Not only did he not have the blessings and wishes of his relatives, he didn't even have the courage to make his own choices. He was alone all his life and could only linger in depression.
An inexplicable sadness and grievance surged into my heart.
Raise your arms sharply.
The superior Daimyo Kuchiki Fuyun covered his face and couldn't help crying.
All the unwillingness and pain disappeared with the burst of tears at this moment, and the sun shone on her petite and weak body, turning it into the warmest salvation.
Everyone sighed.
Including Xue Yun, they couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
