After experiencing the devastation of the war, Xuanling Continent has finally ushered in a new life. Every country on every level is actively undergoing post-war recovery, and the people are full of hope for their future life. However, for some people, Life is not as beautiful as imagined.
According to two weeks after the end of the war between gods and demons, in the layer of beasts, in a cave in the Suzaku Kingdom, a girl with long fiery red hair and wheat-colored skin was sitting in the cave without saying a word. There is a pair of animal ears that look like cat ears on her head. However, compared to the ears of ordinary cats, the girl's animal ears are more like the ears of a lion. In addition to the animal ears, there is also a lion growing behind the girl. Tail, these details indicate that this girl is not a human being, but a spiritual beast.
There was no expression on the girl's face, as if victory in the war could not bring her any joy. A lot of dust had fallen on the girl's body, proving that the girl had been sitting here for a long time.
"Sister Shishi! Sister Shishi! Are you there?"
At this moment, another girl's cry came from outside the cave, but Shishi sitting in the cave did not respond at all, as if the person being called was not her at all. After a while, a girl with animal ears ran in from outside. This girl looked a little younger than Shishi, and her figure was not as good as Shishi. The animal ears on her head were obviously those of a cat. ears, and a cat tail behind her. After the cat-eared girl saw Shishi, her face showed joy. She ran behind Shishi and hugged Shishi, who was sitting motionless on the ground.
"Sister Shishi, I finally found you... Huh!" The girl hugged Shishi and rubbed her face back and forth on Shishi's back, but Shishi still didn't react at all. The girl didn't think too much, but directly Sitting next to Shishi, he put his hands on both sides of his body and asked casually: "I've been looking for you for a long time... I didn't expect you to still be in this cave. Where is Brother Lingyan? Didn't he say he was holding a meeting with Sister Xing? Will I come to take you back after the wedding?"
The girl said a lot of things in Shishi's ear, but Shishi didn't respond at all. The girl finally realized that something was wrong. She stood up, walked to Shishi, and then squatted down again.
"Sister Shishi...what's wrong with you?" The girl saw that there was no expression on Shishi's face, which made the girl feel a little scared. She had known Shishi for many years and had never seen Shishi like this before. Although there was no expression on Shishi's face, the girl saw something called despair from Shishi's face.
"Sister Shishi..." The girl tremblingly stretched out her hand towards Shishi and gently touched her cheek. The moment the girl's fingers touched Shishi's cheek, she immediately closed her hand as if she was electrocuted. He came back and said, "Sister Shishi... why is your face... so cold..." If Shishi's weird behavior just made the girl feel a little strange, then the abnormality of Shishi's body made the girl a little worried.
"It's Xianchan..." Shishi slowly raised her head like a dying old man, and the sound from her mouth was as harsh as two pieces of sandpaper rubbing against each other, "I didn't expect...I could still see you... "
"Sister Shishi..." Xianchan was extremely anxious now. She had never seen Shishi like this before. Although she didn't know what happened, she had vaguely realized that something big had happened. Xianchan She reached out and touched Shishi's shoulder lightly, but Shishi fell down softly like catkins. Xianchan quickly hugged Shishi and took out a bag of water from the storage bag she carried with her. "Sister Shishi, please drink some water first."
Shishi shook her head and gently pushed away the water bag handed over by Xianchan.
Seeing that Shishi refused to drink water, Xianchan became a little anxious: "Sister Shishi! If you look like this, Brother Lingyan will be worried!"
"Hehehehe...hahahahaha!" When Shishi heard the word "Lingyan", she seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and she burst out laughing, "Lingyan...hehe...Xianchan, you You know, Ling Yan... is already dead... not only Ling Yan... Zhen'er, Qing'er, Feng Chen, Zheng Zheng... everyone... is dead..."
"What..." Shishi's words were like a bolt from the blue. She didn't hold the water bag firmly in her hand and fell directly to the ground. The water in the water bag spilled all over the ground. Because the climate of Suzaku Kingdom is hot, the water spilled is very hot. About to be evaporated, "Brother Lingyan...is dead?"
"That's right...dead, everyone is dead, not even the body is left..." Shishi sat up slowly. For some reason, her voice was no longer hoarse, but her tone was full of despair. Xianchan sounded even more uncomfortable, "Lingyan is dead... Even Zhen'er and Qing'er are dead... What's the point of my life... I should... leave this world with them!" Shishi said as she said While standing up from the ground.
"No!" Xianchan was afraid that Shishi would do something stupid, so she hugged Shishi at once, "Don't be like this, Sister Shishi! Not seeing Brother Lingyan's body proves that Brother Lingyan may not be dead yet. Wasn't this the case last time? Maybe Brother Lingyan is trapped somewhere again and is trying to get back!"
"Stop talking! I've already decided!" Shishi grabbed Xianchan's arm and wanted to pull away Xianchan's hand, but Xianchan hugged Shishi tightly and refused to let go. Shishi was afraid of hurting Xianchan. Chan, I had to give up.
"No! Sister Shishi! Even if Brother Lingyan is really dead! Then...then there is still me, and Xianchan is with you! Don't you want Xianchan? If you really want to seek death , Xianchan will accompany you!" Xianchan hugged Shishi's waist tightly and refused to let go. She didn't know whether Lingyan was really dead, but her first priority now was to stabilize Shishi.
"Xianchan! I'm different from you. You still have a future, and you still have infinite possibilities! My future has disappeared with Lingyan's departure. If I didn't go with him, I would be living in this world. What's the point in the world?" Shishi's words were full of despair. After these days of thinking, Shishi found that her short life was full of tragedy. She lost her parents when she was young, and finally found someone who loved her. However, they lost each other twice due to accidents, so this time, Shishi completely lost confidence in life.
"No! Sister Shishi, even if...even if you can't be with Brother Lingyan in this life...you can still be with Brother Lingyan in the next life! Our life span is longer than that of humans, even if he goes through After one reincarnation, you can still meet him!" After all, Xianchan was someone who had been to the ghost layer, and she quickly came up with a way to persuade Shishi, but her method really couldn't be used by ordinary people.
"Reincarnation...?" When Shishi heard the word reincarnation, she was suddenly stunned. "I remember... that person told me that Lingyan and others will return to this world again after a hundred years."
"That's right! It's only a hundred years, so fast!" Although Xianchan wanted to ask who the person Shishi was talking about, she couldn't care less at this time.
"So what? After experiencing reincarnation, all memories will be erased. Will Lingyan still be Lingyan at that time? In his mind, I am just a stranger." Although Shishi's emotions It's not stable, but you can still find the problem. After reincarnation, all memories will be erased and even the appearance will change. Will she really be able to recognize Ling Yan by then? Even if she recognizes her, will Ling Yan recognize her after reincarnation?
"This... we can go find him and restore his previous memories. Isn't this how Li Meng's memory was restored?" In desperation, Xianchan thought about the problem a lot faster, but when she mentioned the fire When Li Meng was sleeping, sadness surged into her heart again. She shook her head and forced a smile, "So, Sister Shishi, everything will be fine. When the time comes, Xianchan will accompany you to find Ling." Brother Yan’s.”
"No! You can't go to him!" To Xianchan's surprise, Shishi shook her head extremely firmly, "I understand, meeting me is actually the biggest misfortune in Lingyan's life. If there is In the next life, it will be enough for me to just guard him silently. He has his own life, and I shouldn't disturb him anymore."
"That's not right! Meeting Sister Shishi is the luckiest thing. Not only Xianchan thinks so, but Brother Lingyan must also think so!" Indeed, if Lingyan was still alive, he would definitely say similar things.
However, Shishi didn't seem to hear Xianchan's words. She still said to herself: "Not only me, you are not allowed to go to Lingyan!"
"Xianchan is not allowed to go either? Why?"
"For Lingyan, we are no longer in the same world. Not only Lingyan, Zhen'er, Qing'er, but also others, we should not disturb them. They should have a new life, and It's not about being troubled by the past." Although Shishi's idea is a bit decisive, it is not unreasonable. After all, people who have been reincarnated are already another person, but they should not be troubled by the things in the previous life.
"But...but...Brother Lingyan is the most important person to me...If it weren't for him, Xianchan might have..." Xianchan's eyes were filled with tears, and the memories of that year seemed to reappear in front of her eyes. The scene when Lingyan rescued her at the auction house. If it weren't for Lingyan, she would definitely be living an inhuman life now, "Sister Shishi...Xianchan, Xianchan will definitely go! Even if Brother Lingyan doesn't I remember Xianchan, as long as Xianchan remembers Brother Lingyan, that’s enough!”
"Really!" Shishi turned around with a gloomy face and looked at Xianchan coldly. After a moment, Shishi raised her fist and punched Xianchan. Xianchan was a little surprised when she saw Shishi actually raised her fist towards her, but when she thought of every moment she had spent with Lingyan, her heart filled with tears. Calmed down quickly. Shishi's fist did not really fall on Xianchan. The fist rubbed against Xianchan's cheek and punched directly through the cave. "With the punch just now, I have killed you. There is no such thing as anything else in the world." Xianchan’s spiritual beast!” After saying that, Shishi left the cave without looking back.
After Shishi left, Xianchan sat down on the ground. She had always fought side by side with Shishi. This was the first time she faced Shishi. That pressure, that sense of oppression. At that moment, Xianchan She almost thought she would die under Shishi's fist, but when Xianchan came to her senses, she found that her clothes were soaked with sweat. After Shishi left, it took a long time for Xianchan to slowly stand up from the ground. She already understood what Shishi wanted to tell her, but where would Shishi go next and whether she would meet him again in the future? These are still unknowns.
