Murong Zhan brought Xiaoyao back to Jiutian and let her live in his palace. His place is quiet and elegant, and there are not too many people walking around to disturb her. With her current situation, it is best to stay here.
She doesn't look very good, though.
It's been a few days since I brought her back, but she hasn't opened her mouth to speak, she doesn't know what she's thinking, she just stares out the window in a daze all day long, her eyes are always sad, and sometimes she will cry silently.
"Do you want to take you out for a walk?" Murong Zhan came over, he felt that if he didn't take the initiative to ask her to go out, she might never walk around for the rest of her life.
Xiao Yao turned a deaf ear, as if she didn't hear what he said.
Mo Rongzhan lifted her up, "I'll take you out."
"I don't want to go anywhere, so leave me alone." Xiao Yao whispered, her voice was already a little hoarse.
"No." Mo Rongzhan said flatly, reaching out to hold her wrist, "Come out with me."
Xiaoyao tried hard to shake off his hand, "I don't want to go, let me go."
Mo Rongzhan looked down at her, and said in a cold voice, "You look very bad, continue to sit, you are no different from a dead person."
"Then let me die, it has nothing to do with you." Xiaoyao shouted angrily.
"Your life is mine." Murong Zhan said seriously, "I didn't agree that you can die, you have to live."
Xiaoyao whimpered, "I don't know the meaning of living anymore."
Mo Rongzhan saw the tears on her cheeks, and reached out to wipe them away for her, "For yourself, and for the future."
"But..." Wen Tian fell in love with Bai Yi, and this shock made her completely unable to cheer up.
"There's nothing wrong with it." Murong Zhan said forcefully, he didn't like to see her like this.
Xiaoyao couldn't break free from Mo Rongzhan, even her spiritual power seemed to be suppressed by him, she couldn't move at all, "Where are you taking me?"
Murong Zhan said, "You will find out when you come with me."
"Can't you just let me be alone?" Xiao Yao said angrily.
"No." Murong Zhan refused decisively, "You have been alone for a long time."
Xiaoyao stared at the back of his head, "What does it have to do with you?"
Mo Rongzhan looked back at her, "This is not you, you shouldn't be like this."
Then what should she be like? Xiao Yao smiled wryly, uncontrollably thinking of the scene of Wen Tian and Bai Yi's entanglement in her mind, her heart was pierced by a knife, she didn't want to say anything at once, she was quietly led by Murong Zhan to nowhere.
"This is the gate of the Nine Heavens." Murong Zhan pointed to a majestic and sacred gate not far ahead, "It can go to the continent of the world."
"Oh." Xiaoyao responded with a lack of interest.
Mo Rongzhan didn't care about her perfunctory, took her out from the ground gate, and walked along the ladder to Ruoshui, "This is Ruoshui, the boundary between Jiutian and the mainland. I used to be in a bad mood and liked to take a walk here .”
Xiaoyao looked at the crystal-clear lake like sapphire, but in the distance there was a waterfall pouring down like the Milky Way from the sky. This place was as beautiful as a fairyland.
No, this is Wonderland.
"Come." Mo Rongzhan held her hand and led her a step forward.
Xiaoyao was led into the weak water by him, standing on the lake as if walking on the ground, they went to the Yinhe Waterfall.
"Eight hundred quicksand worlds, three thousand weak water depths, goose feathers can't float, and reed flowers sink to the bottom." Xiaoyao whispered, "The weak water world here is completely different from what I imagined."
"Those who have never been to Jiutian don't know anything about Jiutian." Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice.
Xiao Yao said, "Are you trying to talk about me?"
"No." Mo Rongzhan tactfully denied, "You have been here for nine days."
"The Protoss abandoned mortals and ignored the Human Continent. This is a fact, and I am not wrong." Xiaoyao said, "At that time, our entire village was slaughtered by monsters. Where is the Protoss? The Human Continent finally survived for a few years. On a good day, your Protoss is going to start a war again, who do you think will like the Protoss?"
Murong Zhan said, "Mortals are abused by monsters... It is indeed the negligence of the gods."
He didn't say it too bluntly, but he knew that the emperor was wrong about this matter.
Mistakes are mistakes, and we must correct our mistakes.
Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, probably because she didn't expect Murong Zhan to admit that the Protoss was wrong.
"Then you still want to besiege Tianbao?" Xiao Yao asked.
Murong Zhan looked back at her, "You have been in the human continent for so long, you should be very clear about one thing, monsters are inhuman, they are cruel in nature, and mortals are not the same kind but food to them, the surface calm does not mean Always safe, I know what you want to say." Seeing her unconvinced expression, he said again, "Wen Tian is able to suppress other monsters and not harm mortals because of his strength. Snake, before you met him, he was already a very powerful existence, have you never thought about why he didn't come out to protect mortals before, didn't you think that he also relied on eating mortals before?"
Xiaoyao's face turned pale, she had never thought about this question before, "He won't..."
"Are you sure?" Murong Zhan asked seriously, "When did you meet him? Have you seen his previous appearance? Have you seen the real face of Teng Snake?"
"I..." Xiaoyao realized that she had never seen Wentian's real body in all these years, "Even if you said it, then he hasn't hurt mortals anymore."
Murong Zhan said, "You still don't understand what I said, a temporary calm is not a permanent safety."
"It's all your reasoning. You are the Young Emperor, so naturally you are helping the Protoss." Xiao Yao snorted.
"Before I practiced in seclusion, I was always guarding the Human Continent." Murong Zhan said flatly, "A hundred years ago, the Human Continent was ruled by mortal emperors, not by monsters."
It was the first time Xiaoyao heard that he had once guarded the Human Continent, "How do I know if what you said is true? Could it be that the Human Continent was invaded by monsters just because you went into seclusion?"
It can't be said exactly, but there must be a relationship.
"Emperor, he... is a little negligent about the human continent." Murong Zhan said, "I will let the prisoners rule their own world again."
"Ah Tian is very powerful." Xiao Yao said, "Your chance of winning is not high."
Mo Rongzhan looked down at her, "I haven't played in person yet."
Xiaoyao's heart was startled, since she met Murong Zhan, she has been quarreling with him and talking back, and she didn't regard him as a powerful and strong man, but the young emperor of Nine Heavens... will never be weak.
She suddenly felt worried about everyone in Tianbao.
"I'll take you to the front to have a look." Mo Rongzhan saw the change in her expression, the corners of her mouth were raised slightly, she was finally not only immersed in her own sadness.
Although she still stubbornly believes that the grievances between the gods and the monsters are wrong, she will always understand in the future.
