Xu Lianyi was lying on the edge of the bathtub. She was originally afraid of water, but after staying in the Wangchuan River for so many years, she was no longer afraid. I'm dead, and I'm still afraid of these weird things, so it's no wonder I want to die.
Not long after she lay on the ground, she was startled by the king's angry footsteps. As soon as she raised her head, a pair of big hands lifted her out of the water. The warm water was sprinkled all over the floor. Xu Lianyi was shocked. Cun Wei, nervously grasping the king's wrist with both hands. I always knew that he was tall, but Xu Lianyi felt that the king's appearance was more refined if he didn't mention it. Now that he lifted her up, she realized that she was like a little chicken in his hands, and could be strangled to death with one hand. kind of.
Such a self, such a great king, how could it be so easy for her to kill him.
"How dare you deceive me." The king approached her, and the breaths of the two were intertwined. Xu Lianyi asked in bewilderment, "I didn't lie to you."
"Really, so you can't remember?" The king smiled instead of anger, and Xu Lianyi couldn't help getting goose bumps from that smile. She obediently did not try to struggle, but blinked her watery eyes, looking at him innocently and docilely.
This look succeeded in reducing the king's anger a bit, but he still did not let go of the hands that grabbed Xu Lianyi's shoulders. She was really soft and weak in his hands, as if she would break if he exerted a little effort. "Just now, the widow asked you how the guard answered, what did you answer the widow? Why, you cherish his life so much?"
He was not angry because Xu Lianyi lied to himself. It is impossible for a person to live in this world without lies, but Xu Lianyi cannot have one in front of him. The most important thing is that Xu Lianyi lied to him for the life of a guard, can it prove that her heart is not like what she said, she is the same person as him, but an illusion shown for survival
It's just that the illusion was so realistic that even he was deceived.
Thinking of this possibility, the king's heart felt as if it was torn apart. He thought he had found a like-minded person, but if the other person cheated just to survive under him in the end, then he would crush her to ashes.
Xu Lianyi saw the ruthlessness in the king's words, but she was not afraid. Instead, enduring the pain, she slowly raised her hands, held the handsome face of the king, kissed him lightly on the forehead, and said, "Believe me!" Me, I don't care about anyone's life, including myself."
"Then how do you explain lying to the widow?"
Xu Lianyi sighed softly: "If I knew that a rare kindness in thousands of years would lead to such a result, I wouldn't say so." She tried to break free from the king's hand, and he was willing to give her this opportunity to explain, So she put it down slowly, Xu Lianyi took this opportunity to hug him, put her little face on his shoulder, and said: "It's just a sudden whim, if the king doesn't like him, just kill him directly, I won't feel bad."
"Is this true?"
"Really." The life and death of others has nothing to do with her. She used to be gentle and compassionate, but what happened? Didn't end up in a tragic end. She had made up her mind a long time ago, and she no longer had to worry about other people's lives.
"If you dare to tell lies in front of the widow in the future, the widow will never give you a chance to explain. At that time, you should be careful about your neck." He said in a threatening tone, but Xu Lianyi's reaction was a smile Yan Ran even hugged his arm and said, "It's really sad for the king to say that. Am I that kind of person?"
"Don't you?" If this woman with a bad stomach said that she was a white lotus, the king would never believe it.
Xu Lianyi smiled, and she slowly put a small hand on the king's heart, and whispered: "Is it true that you can only get your sincerity if you give your heart?"
However, where could she find a heart to exchange for
The king said indifferently: "The widow has no heart."
"Yes." Xu Lianyi pressed his palm against his heart. "Beating here, I am so envious of the king, who can have a heart. But I have nothing."
"A widow's woman, even if she wants the stars in the sky, the widow can pick them for her." The king said arrogantly.
Hearing this, Xu Lianyi's heart was inexplicably sweet. She nestled in the king's arms, suddenly raised her head and gave him a sly smile, fell backwards, and fell into the bathtub. The king was holding her, but he suddenly lost sight of the beautiful woman, and subconsciously reached out to grab her, but was held by Xu Lianyi, and they fell into the water together.
Under the water, Xu Lianyi kissed the king's thin lips, and she closed her eyes to comfort herself who could no longer shed tears. When the two of them surfaced, she hugged the king's neck, her long eyelashes seemed to be wet with water: "Is it okay?"
What can I do
The king didn't speak, but just kissed back again.
None of them spoke.
But after that night, the way they get along has changed. Although the king was kind to Xu Lianyi before, it was just a playmate, a favorite toy, but now it is different, and I can't tell what is different, because he still speaks rudely, but there is a gap between the two. The atmosphere has changed.
Maybe the king himself didn't feel it, but Xu Lianyi knew it very well. All human beings in this world have a heart. The king who kills like hemp and the ghost that climbed out of hell are so compatible.
There is no morality or law to bind them, they are complicit, they are notorious.
But so what.
She had done enough to be a good person, she couldn't stand the pain, howling and struggling in the river of oblivion for countless days and nights, killing and devouring each other, but this couldn't compare to the pain of being tortured by memories in the depths of her soul. She is so caught up in obsession with the past that nothing or anyone can stop her from going back.
Even though all the memories have not been recalled now, she needs to complete five tasks to completely put together the fragments of memories. Despair and pain have already taken root in the depths of her soul. An obsession that cannot be let go.
In the spring of this year, everything was revived, and everything was off to a good start. The king carried out the spring hunting as usual, the only difference was that this time he brought Xu Lianyi with him.
The mountains and plains are full of spring scenery, the wind is good, the flowers are good, and even the air is full of vitality. Xu Lianyi got out of the tent and looked from a distance, and there were many mountains and mountains, towering and stretching, and from time to time, small animals could be seen scuttling around in the trees.
It's a pity that she didn't find these little animals cute in her heart.
She used someone else's body, someone else's heart, and this body is already dead. Before it rots completely, she has to complete the task and leave this world, otherwise she will be judged to have failed, and she will have to return to the bottom of the dark Wangchuan River. It's just her past, it shouldn't be her destination.
At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes, and Xu Lianyi's waist was suddenly grabbed and thrown onto the horse's back. She was startled, and looked at the man behind her in shock: "My lord!"
"Well, you, a woman, are also afraid?"
Nonsense, of course she is not afraid of riding a horse, but she is afraid that one person will accidentally damage this body! There is a time limit for her possession. During this period of time, her body will be like a normal person, able to breathe and eat, but once she is damaged, it will quickly decline. This is equivalent to an early warning of mission failure.
So Xu Lianyi cherishes her body very much. She finally got a warm body, how could she be willing to let it get hurt
"Where is the king taking me?" She leaned back into the king's arms and asked against the wind.
"hunting."
"Just the two of us?"
"You want to be accompanied by many people?"
"Of course not, I naturally hope to be with the king. It's just that the king has done a lot of evil, and the people want to eat your flesh and skin, and they all think of ways to kill you. If they are in danger, the king is born with supernatural powers and martial arts. Naturally, he is not afraid, Ripple But she's just a weak little girl." Xu Lianyi said half-truthfully.
Hearing this, the king sneered: "You woman, you are like a poisonous snake. Others see you differently than widows see you."
"No, no, I'm by the king's side, so I'm really a gentle and beautiful woman." Xu Lianyi justified her name, isn't she the most suitable woman in the world for him
Hearing that she was so shameless, the king didn't bother to talk about her anymore, he suddenly reined in his horse, drew his bow and set an arrow, the sharp arrow brushed past Xu Lianyi's ear, and sank into the forest with a whoosh. Xu Lianyi looked over but saw nothing, the king jumped off the horse neatly, and opened his hands to her: "Come here."
She threw herself into his arms without hesitation. The king hugged Xu Lianyi in his arms, and motioned her to follow behind him. The two of them pushed aside the grass and saw a deer with a very beautiful skin color lying there, killed by an arrow.
"Your Majesty is really powerful." Xu Lianyi clapped her little hands, not stingy with compliments. The king was praised, and he looked indifferent, but the joy in his eyes could not deceive anyone.
"This little deer is so cute, how can you bear to hurt it?"
Suddenly there was a clear and clear girl's voice, both Xu Lianyi and the king were a little puzzled. Turning around, I saw a girl dressed in pink jumping down from the tree like a mountain elf, a few steps up in front of them and went straight to the deer, tried the arteries of the deer, saw that it was completely dead, and went to the deer. Blaming the king, he said, "How can you harm living beings? Don't you fear that you will go to Avici Hell after death!"
It is not ordinary for a young girl to dare to yell at the king like this at such a young age. It's just that the king's originally happy mood was almost ruined now. His eyes gradually turned cold. The girl originally had a long story to say, but she suddenly didn't dare to speak anymore when she caught the other party's line of sight.
Those blood-colored eyes made her feel fear and chills in her heart.
So you see, the only one in the world who can truly look straight at him and stand beside him without fear is a ghost that really crawled out of Abi Hell.
This girl is innocent and pure and kind, logically speaking, it should be what the king desires most, but the king just looks at her coldly, without the slightest intention of being moved.
And Xu Lianyi quickly drew out the dagger at the waist and pressed it against the girl's neck, and smiled: "Quickly tell me, who sent you here?"
