Chapter 42 Ugly
Chapter 42 Ugly
Chi Jinnian stood in front of the tent with his hands behind his back, and the curtain was lifted and rolled up on top.
He looked at the pitch-black sky, and his equally pitch-black eyes were bottomless.
The woman I met in Yanliu Lane before and the child Li Wuyue brought back were all monsters, and their targets were all him.
Except for Gu Cong, he has never dealt with anyone related to demons.
Both Fang Shiyun and Gu Cong had yin and yang blood flowing from their bodies, but when Fang Shiyun was sent away from Luozhou by himself, he was already on the verge of death, his meridians were cut off, so it would be good to survive.
So, who would be the one who could control those monsters to attack him.
A footstep approached, and he squinted calmly, watching the lieutenant general walking towards him.
"My lord."
Lieutenant general salutes,
"The second carrier pigeon has flown back."
"In another month, the princess will receive the letter."
Chi Jinnian nodded his head slightly, his eyes fell on the distant place, where there was yellow sand everywhere.
That little boy, is he still dancing his sword under the poplar tree?
It's been two months, he really wanted to hear that little boy's voice again.
Thinking of Ruan Yuan's cute and sensible face, Chi Jinnian's pupils relaxed and his clenched fists loosened.
At this moment, an arrow flew towards the woods ahead.
Chi Jinnian frowned, and when he was about to walk into the tent, he turned back and saw countless black crows flying in the woods over there.
The lieutenant bowed,
"My lord, Miss Li is practicing archery."
Chi Jinnian had no expression on his face. He took another look into the forest and met many small, bright eyes between the branches of the trees.
--------
"Oh, I have been in the world for hundreds of years, so I have a lot of experience."
"But this time, I really don't know what to do."
In a secluded courtyard in the Sanqing Pavilion, a black-haired and white-robed man squatted in front of the lazy cat, carefully poking the cat's fat body with a piece of dog's tail.
"I am a god, if I interfere with ordinary people's affairs and disturb the three-life tree, I will be punished."
"But Hong Xing didn't do good things that day, and insisted on getting involved with the demon."
"I want to manage people, but also monsters, it's so difficult for me—"
He looked up to the sky and sighed, and sat directly on the ground with an aggrieved expression on his face.
The cat ignored him and fell asleep.
Suddenly, there was the sound of someone running in the corridor outside.
"Master! Master!"
The black-haired boy stood up abruptly, patted the dust off his clothes, and swept his hands over his face, a white beard grew out, and there were wrinkles between his brows and eyes, making him look quite old.
"What's bothering you?"
He said something through the door, and his voice was different.
"Master," the kid outside knelt down, "The King Jin has come back to life again, and this time, he brought a demon to wreak havoc on the world."
"The tragedy in Luozhou City may happen again..."
Taoist Sanqing secretly sighed.
How could he not know about these shitty things?
That Chi Jinnian is so easy to die, he is a star.
"Master, please come out of the mountain!"
"Otherwise, I don't know how many innocent people will die, it's too pitiful!"
"Master, take care of it—you are the only one who can invite immortals in this pavilion!"
Taoist Sanqing sighed again.
What are you asking for a fairy, I am that fairy.
Worry about this shit all day, when will it be a head.
--------
"Fang Shiyun, why are you pestering me?"
Ruan Yuan was placed on a large abrupt rock by Fang Shiyun, his eyes were swollen, but his eyes were shining brightly in the deep night.
"It was you who broke your oath first."
"The scar left by the arrow wound on my chest will never be wiped off for the rest of my life."
"So," the tears broke out again, and he looked at the person in front of him like this, but his eyes were no longer affectionate, only resentment remained, "Isn't that enough..."
"The things you have done to me are not enough to break your heart!"
"How dare you... how dare you..."
He couldn't go on talking, one hand tightly grasped the shirt on his chest, no matter what, he would not lean on Shang Shiyun's shoulder.
Fang Shiyun looked at him, one step away from him.
One more step, and he will be able to embrace this person in his arms.
But he raised his hand and put it down again.
He folded his wings, but couldn't cover the scar on his face.
"Yinger..."
"I'm not Yinger!"
"I'm Ruan Yuan, look carefully!"
The little man raised his eyes sharply and stared at him viciously.
"Okay, Yuan'er."
"I'm not entangled with you, I'm protecting you."
"Fang Shiyun, for the rest of my life, I only have this long-cherished wish."
He took a step forward, wrapped his hands around the arms of the little boy,
"Yuan'er, Chi Jinnian is not a good person. He raised demons, burned the entire city of Luozhou, and killed almost the entire city!"
"Your home, my home..."
"People from the northern kingdom never take the lives of people from the southern regions as their own. You are just a pawn in the palace for fun!"
"When Chi Jinnian gets tired of playing, he will abandon you and let you live or die..."
"We are different from them," Fang Shiyun pinched his fingers tighter and tighter, trying to pull the boy's wandering heart to him,
"Believe me, I will definitely find a way to revive the Southern Territory and take our dignity back from the northern barbarians."
"In the future, no one will dare to force you into marriage, or to whip me in the face..."
Fang Shiyun burst into sobs suddenly, raised one hand, and gently stroked Young Master Xiaoqiao's face.
After finally crying not so hard, he squeezed out a few words from his throat,
"I am now... am I...too ugly..."
"Did it... scare you..."
"I'm sorry... Yuan'er... I'm sorry..."
He moved a little closer, tears streaming down his face like a river,
"I watched my mother... go away in the prison."
"No one collects her body, no one buries her..."
Ruan Yuan burst into tears when he heard this.
Those two children holding hands and running in the small courtyard of Fang's family stepped on his heart step by step.
Fang Shiyun's whole body was trembling, whimpering intermittently,
"I'm so scared, I'm afraid that you will suffer in the palace, and I'm afraid that they won't take your life seriously..."
"I'm sorry for grabbing you back in this way..."
Ruan Yuan didn't speak, but the resentment in his eyes was gradually melted by the flood of memories.
At this moment, something approached quickly, and he raised his eyes, Fang Shiyun's arms tightened suddenly, tightly protecting him in his arms.
"princess!"
Gu Cong's sharp claws flew to nothing, but his eyes were burning, staring at Fang Shiyun's hand on Ruan Yuan's chest.
The blood on Gu Cong's body was dazzling in the desert night.
Looking at the blood, Ruan Yuan's mind flashed across Chi Jinnian's face, his misty eyes suddenly became clear,
"Master Gu!"
With a wave of his arm, he hit Fang Shiyun hard, not noticing the tear dripping from the top of his head.
----------
Fang Shiyun was in pain, Ruan Yuan stretched out his arm in a blink of an eye, and Gu Cong firmly grasped it.
When Fang Shiyun came back to her senses again, the little boy had already fallen into the embrace of the fox demon.
"Yuaner."
"You believe him, not me."
Fang Shiyun's gaze pierced into Ruan Yuan's eyes like a knife of grief.
Ruan Yuan took a deep breath, his heart sank, but he turned his face away, leaving no room for it.
The hand protecting his chest was replaced by Gu Cong's.
"Princess, hurry up."
Gu Cong bent down slightly, and opened his remaining hand, the sharp claws were stained with the blood of an unknown monster.
Ruan Yuan looked up and saw several bloodstains on his face.
Tighten your fingers, deliberately avoiding Fang Shiyun's gaze, and hide them in Gu Cong's chest.
With a light body, following Gu Cong's movements, he rose into the air and stepped back.
The desert wind is blowing in my ears, and tears are mixed with memories in my eyes.
A loud voice broke in my ears, the waves of hatred spread out, and my mind was shocked.
"Let him go."
Ruan Yuan suddenly turned his face to the side, and saw Fang Shiyun spread his hell-like black wings again, with a terrifying light in his eyes.
He grabbed it with one hand, Gu Cong stretched out his hand to block it, and there was a sound of flesh and blood ripping apart.
"Master Gu!"
Ruan Yuan screamed, and watched the blood bloom in the air and fell on his face.
All of a sudden, Baguio's face, Ruan You's face, father and mother, Zhihua, Ruhua... flashed in his mind, and a pool of red blood and tears burst out.
His eyes widened and his fingers trembled.
Then let go.
"Princess! Hold on to me!"
"Don't let go!"
Seeing that Fang Shiyun's claws were about to come down again, Ruan Yuan bit his lower lip and pushed Gu Cong back forcefully, his body suddenly fell to the ground, kicking up a piece of yellow sand.
Fang Shiyun opened her eyes wide, her hand that almost fell was frozen in the air.
Ruan Yuan fell to the ground, Gu Cong's blood-stained white corner of his clothes passed by, he raised his eyes, and met Gu Cong's sad and angry eyes.
"Go, he won't hurt me!"
"Walk!!!"
Gu Cong stretched out his bleeding arm to him without hesitation, trying to pick him up,
"impossible!"
Ruan Yuan opened his eyes wide, tears flowed violently, but he was determined,
"I can't...lose you again."
"I've lost too many people."
After he finished speaking, he reluctantly rolled to the side, just avoiding Gu Cong's hand that fell towards him.
"princess--!"
Then, under Gu Cong's exclamation, he threw himself into Fang Shiyun's embrace almost like crazy.
Fang Shiyun picked him up, he grabbed Fang Shiyun's shoulders, and rose into the air again, getting farther and farther away from the blood-clothed young man standing where he was.
The young man looked up at him, his eyes were red, and there was not a single piece of intact clothes on his body.
Ruan Yuan also looked at him, his lips began to tremble, and then shouted at him,
"Walk!!!"
Gu Cong, I remember everything you did for me.
So no matter what, you have to live.
Ruan Yuan closed his eyes in pain, this time he avoided Gu Cong's scorching gaze.

Chi Jinnian: "He's actually mine..." [Speechless]
