An hurriedly tried to untie the necklace, but a stern look from Liao Zixuan made the girl's hand weak and retracted subconsciously.
"What do you want to do?"
The young man frowned and asked threateningly, but the girl knew the importance of the necklace and stubbornly persisted:
"I don't need it! Give it back to you!"
"Say it again!" Liao Zixuan took the initiative and took a step closer to An.
As the distance got closer, the girl suddenly panicked a lot.
"I don't have to, still, still..."
She originally wanted to push back, but under the unquestionable gaze of the young man, her voice became lower and lower. In the end, it turned into the girl lowering her head, not daring to look into Liao Zixuan's eyes.
The corrupted head of the Yamata-no-Orochi next to it was a direct medical miracle in this scene. The head that had fallen limply on the ground was stretched out with all its strength. The already big eyes were now kicked even wider, and the expression was full of excitement. unbelievable.
It couldn't imagine that just a few minutes ago, the violent and delinquent girl who was raving and teasing it, and even it felt a little crazy and frightened by the snake, could... seem to have turned into a little girl?
What about the phrase "You've raised your head too high, get down"?
Why did you lower your head first? ?
Everyone is a taboo monster, why do you treat that wolf so differently? ?
An could see that she couldn't be tough in front of Xiao Hei, so she changed her strategy and began to persuade her earnestly:
"Xiao Hei, have you ever thought about what will happen to Yanyu after you gave me the necklace? What will happen to Lord Vulcan? We took the necklace privately. This is not a betrayal of trust, but taking advantage of Lord Vulcan. Trust, this, this is very likely to bear the wrath of God! Xiaohei, you..."
The girl became more and more excited as she talked, as if she could predict Alice's classic rain of meteors and fire from the sky, which would bring down huge meteorites.
But the young man beside him couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted directly:
"Stop! Stop it! An, you seem to have misunderstood something. We are not keeping it for ourselves. I am just borrowing the necklace temporarily. When you use it up, I will continue to send it back to the Flame Territory."
"What...what do you mean? Do you still want to stay in Yuanhai until I come out?"
Liao Zixuan didn't speak, but An already understood from his expression that it was five words.
Do you even need to ask?
"Then...what if I can't get out!"
"Then I'll go in and find you." The young man looked at the girl who asked such an idiotic question as if he were a fool.
An was speechless for a moment, but at this time Yamata no Orochi, who didn't know how to read the atmosphere, spoke.
"Once the trial of the Water God Palace starts...except for the witches...no one else can stay in the abyss...otherwise it will interfere with the trial...In addition...even if you pass the trial... You can’t leave either...until the next witch appears..."
After Orochi's words, An immediately seemed to have the upper hand, showing a proud expression of "Look!"
It seems that at this time, the matter that the two people are arguing about has changed from the "necklace" itself to something more like a venting of emotions.
In fact, both An and Liao Zixuan know deep down in their hearts that they will eventually separate. It is not so much a quarrel now, but more of a...
Reluctant to give up.
And alternative... Farewell.
"You don't have to worry about how I find you. Even if it is closed to me again, it's just an abyss. I will definitely have a way to get back in here!"
Liao Zixuan started to flip the table unreasonably.
The Yamata no Orochi next to him was unhappy after hearing this, and immediately wanted to speak, "Where is a forbidden place like Yuanhai where you can come and leave whenever you want?"
But Liao Zixuan, as if he had expected it, took the lead and raised his head to stare directly at the big snake in the way.
This made the big snake stop talking, and finally all seven heads turned aside.
The unlucky guy who was originally eroded by the Fallen Abyss and beaten to the ground by An wanted to lie down and continue watching, but was snatched away by the other seven of them, completely leaving space for the young couple in its eyes.
the other side.
An was very angry, not only because the young man was swearing arrogantly, but also because she hadn't even retorted yet.
Because no matter whether it was the serious and confident temperament of the young man when he said this, or the fact that the young man had already created a ready-made "miracle" in front of her, she could not find any reason to question it.
An didn't think it was easier to train a "little village girl" into a witch than to enter a closed abyss.
Even comparing the two, it can indeed be described as "just a deep ocean".
"Xiao Hei, you, you are so true!!"
The girl was a little angry and started to cry, stamping her feet hard.
She didn't understand why... why she had to be so good to her, why she had to give her hope, nostalgia, and... when it was time to leave.
"Did you know that the sooner you help Vulcan get rid of the Fall into the Abyss, the sooner Vulcan can protect the Flame Territory again!"
"Do you know that every moment in the Flame Territory, countless people are affected by the corruption of the God of Fire!"
"Do you know that I myself do not exist? I am an illusion created by the Water God for you!"
"Do you know that as long as you give up this fictitious dummy, you can get the Vulcan to favor you more, you can get the safety of thousands of Yanyu people, and you can get a lot of trouble. Necessary dedication and effort! How much is a complete waste of time!”
Looking at the girl who was sobbing with all her strength, Liao Zixuan had no unnecessary words and just held An, who was crying into tears, in his arms.
The girl pressed herself against the young man's broad chest, and the young man's soft words rang in the girl's ears.
"I know."
"If it's anything else, I can accept it, but only you... No matter what you offer me in exchange for it, I won't. I believe that not only me, but the little girl on the boat at this moment will also exchange it with me." Make the same decision."
I was afraid that the girl opposite didn't hear clearly.
Liao Zixuan let go of An in his arms, put his arms on the girl's shoulders, looked directly into An's eyes, and repeated word for word with the utmost seriousness:
"You, I won't change anything."
And An...
An clenched her fists, punched the young man hard on the chest, and the inertial force caused her to fall into the young man's arms again.
The girl buried her head deeply and pressed tightly against Liao Zixuan's chest, in order to cover up what she didn't want to reveal, his face full of unspeakable emotions at the moment.
do you know...
If you continue like this, I really won't be able to leave you.
An knew very well that people are easily paralyzed by the status quo, and therefore forget everything they are burdened with, just like many country people who pool their efforts as a whole village to provide for their development in big cities. They keep saying that they will never forget their hometown, but they can How many years have passed, An has never seen one person come back.
It wasn't until she herself was recruited as a maid and went to Huodian City that she realized that those people were either defeated by reality or had been fascinated by the scenery and left them behind.
An was angry at first, but in the end she became silent. The girl could understand, but she...
I never want to be such a person!
Therefore, Orochi's request and the trial of the Water God Palace are actually just a perfect opportunity, just like "fate".
Even without this opportunity, An's intention to say goodbye was extremely firm.
Liao Zixuan only stood from his own perspective at first, so he didn't understand the girl and thought it was too abrupt and he couldn't accept it. But now... when he felt the trembling body of the girl in his arms, he felt the complicated and painful emotions.
Liao Zixuan understood.
"You know, if it were the original me, I would not allow you to behave like this even if I were to die, and I would tie you to my side even if I die."
"But now..." Liao Zixuan shook his head helplessly.
He stroked the girl's long hair.
Gu Ao
"Although in the past, I have always wanted to cultivate you secretly, but why haven't you... been influencing me?"
Obviously, the "you" in Liao Zixuan's mouth here does not refer to An, but to Vivian.
"It's you who taught me to respect others, not to be too self-righteous, to learn to put myself in others' perspective, and to be...gentle, so that's why I made the decision I have now."
"Ha, speaking of it...is this a kind of fate? It's indeed quite mysterious. No wonder the old aunt of the Water God is so obsessed with studying it."
"In short... go ahead and become stronger, then return to your world and rewrite your future into what you want it to be!"
This time, Liao Zixuan took the initiative to leave the girl, took a step back, and opened the distance between him and An.
There was no retention in his eyes, but... just encouragement and belief.
Sometimes, letting go can be considered a kind of love, right?
"Remember not to die, Ann."
"When the time comes, when we come back to Yuanhai, you must return the necklace to me intact, otherwise, I will not be as easy to talk to as I am now, and I will be really angry!"
"Once I get angry, the consequences... will be serious."
Liao Zixuan deliberately kept a straight face and said fiercely with a serious face.
And the girl...
"Yeah." An nodded heavily.
She never mentioned again that she didn't need the necklace. After all, in order not to make Xiao Hei angry and to fulfill her promise of "immortality", she really needed it very urgently. This necklace was simply tailor-made for her.
The girl stretched out her hand and touched the crystal-clear Water God's Chain on her neck. The cold and refreshing feeling poured into her body along her fingers, gradually sealing off An's heart and burying all her emotions today, allowing the girl to change back to... The original aloof Ann.
After all, a sentimental and sentimental girl cannot pass the test of the Water God Palace. The bandage weirdo who is focused and always vigilant is the cornerstone of An Neng's step-by-step progress to where he is today.
only...
Occasionally, it can still be unblocked.
As for the timing of unblocking.
"Then we... agreed."
"It's agreed!"
"Wait a minute, it's easy to forget just by saying this, right?" An suddenly said.
"Then let's pull..."
Liao Zixuan thought that the girl needed a sense of ritual, so she would just pull the hook, but before he could finish his words, when he had just raised his finger halfway...
He only saw An, who was opposite him, suddenly making a counterattack, at a speed that even Liao Zixuan could not catch...
The girl stood on her tiptoes and touched the young man's cheek with the softness of her lips.
By the time Liao Zixuan recovered from the dullness, shock, confusion, panic, and confusion, the girl had already run away.
It seemed that only the faint feeling of moisture on the skin of his cheeks proved what had just happened.
"Orochi, let's go!"
An Zilai flew to the top of Yamata no Orochi's head in a rather urging tone.
Moreover, Liao Zixuan below saw from a distance that the facial bandage that had been torn off by An originally under the formal attire had been used by the girl somehow, but now it came back again and wrapped around the girl's face.
The other me...I'm sure I won't mind!
This is nothing at all, after all, she is me, and I am her!
Well, that’s right!
Maybe they have been like this countless times!
No wonder Ann wanted the bandage to wrap around her face again, otherwise with how rosy her face was, she could have participated in the apple ripening contest.
The big snake nodded to An, and then, after probably communicating something with An with his mind, after a whirlpool rose, An's figure disappeared from Liao Zixuan's sight.
It would be a lie to say in his heart that he was not feeling disappointed, but now Liao Zixuan's fiery motivation is enough to cover up this feeling of parting. There is only one thought in his mind now.
Get out now and find a new way in!
Just when Liao Zixuan was about to jump into his underwater whirlpool and teleport back to the sea, the big snake suddenly stopped him.
"You...wait a moment..."
"Could your conscience allow me to stay here!?" Liao Zixuan asked hurriedly.
Orochi shook his head. It was a strict rule of the Water God Palace that no outsiders should be allowed during the trial.
The reason why it called Liao Zixuan was for something else.
"I can feel that you were born less than ten years ago?"
cut.
Liao Zixuan curled his lips.
ten years?
It's not even half a year, even if it's full of calculations.
After receiving Liao Zixuan's confirmation, Orochi's expression became solemn.
"The speed of your strength improvement has shocked even me. But because of this, as an elder, I give you a piece of advice."
Realizing that Da She seemed to have something important to say, Liao Zixuan quickly corrected his attitude and listened carefully.
"I believe that if you can maintain this growth rate, you may be able to reach my peak in less than a hundred years, but you must remember, remember, never make the same mistakes I made back then, never ...trying to break through.”
"Don't try to break through?" Liao Zixuan frowned.
"You must remember...this world...does not allow...complete...forbidden monsters..."
"Remember...remember...otherwise what I am like today...is what will happen to you tomorrow..."
The teleported deep sea vortex was taken by the big snake and appeared under Liao Zixuan's feet.
"Wait a minute, you made it clear!"
It's a pity that the big snake didn't respond to Liao Zixuan's call, or in other words, it had already revealed too much.
The only last thing Orochi said to Liao Zixuan, who was about to leave Yuanhai, was...
"To thank you...today you are willing to let go of the witch...to fulfill my long-cherished wish...if the witch can really pass the test...I will give him...a special gift..."
"One day in the future...perhaps...this gift can help you...turn danger into safety...let you and the witch truly..."
The serpent's intermittent thoughts disappeared in his ears as the whirlpool swallowed Liao Zixuan.
Wait for the period of darkness and floating feeling to pass.
Wow!
Liao Zixuan, who had returned to the form of a wolf cub, opened his eyes again and saw the calm sea and... the Astologis anchored not far away.
More and...
A familiar figure of a little girl.
"Xiao Hei!!!"
