When Yuan Yuanyuan was asked a name question, she was really speechless...
She actually didn't want to get involved in this kind of mess. Even monsters were very secretive about it. She was a half-monster and she was actually getting involved. She just wanted to leave, the sooner the better. She felt uncomfortable staying here for even a second.
However, many monsters around were looking at her... She came here just to show off, otherwise she didn't have to come at all. If she turned around and left at this time, then everything she had done so far would seem to be meaningless.
Yuan Yuanyuan just stood there, racking her brains to think of a statement that might sound a little cooler, such as... "My name is what you guessed"? Or... "I no longer have a name, and now my name is Yuan?"
No matter how you say it, it feels like you're forcing yourself.
Yuan Yuanyuan stood there for a long time without saying a word. She felt like she was about to break out in a cold sweat. She wanted to imitate the characters in the comics and speak cool and impressive lines, but it didn't seem to be an easy task.
Yuan Yuanyuan, who had never been a class committee member or given a public speech since childhood, was stuck now and couldn't utter a word.
Then everyone saw a huge monster in black clothes standing under the plum tree, with an expressionless face, but not saying a word, with his lips tightly pursed.
Therefore, the identity of a big monster is still very useful. At least, the monsters around now dare not say a word until now, but just secretly look at the "Yuan" in the center of the field.
What, what's going on? Why haven't you said a word for so long? This atmosphere is a little off.
Is this... the feeling of having to be ready to run away at any time
What happened? It seems that Wu Jin just asked a question... He asked what "Yuan"'s real name was. After all, he himself said before that this name was not his real name.
Is this a sensitive question? Why did the atmosphere in the room become wrong after just one question
As the silence got longer, the pressure on the watching monsters grew. Almost everyone felt the strange atmosphere in the field. Although the little monsters didn't know some of the news, the smarter ones had already begun to retreat secretly, leaving only a few monsters standing foolishly in the front to block the swords.
Jixiang Yu did not retreat. He stayed where he was, looking quietly ahead, as if he was unaware of the atmosphere in the field.
Wu Jin has been staring at Yuan Yuanyuan. Even though he may have been injured, he has still managed to hold on until now.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt that he was about to give up, but she still didn't understand why he was so obsessed with this issue.
Just when the silence was making the monsters present feel uncomfortable, Wu Jin's expression suddenly relaxed. He said, "Since Senior doesn't want to answer this, then I will call you Senior Yuan. Senior Yuan... There are some things that I already understand in my mind even if you don't answer. Now, I only have one question."
Wu Jin raised his head and looked directly into Yuan Yuanyuan's eyes. "Which side are you on now?"
…
On Sunday morning, there was fog on Sanquan Mountain, which was seriously inconsistent with the "sunny" weather forecast given the day before. As a result, many people who came to climb the mountain the next day were cheated. The mountain was filled with thick fog and people could not be seen at all. It was very dangerous, so they had to give up their plans to climb the mountain.
When Yuan Yuanyuan found Jixiang Yu, she saw him lying in the small tent. Inside the tent there was a thick blanket, a straw pillow, and his camera and other things.
The quilt bulged up a bit, Yuan Yuanyuan patted it and said, "Wake up, I'm here to pick you up from the mountain. After we get down the mountain, let's have breakfast and then go to bed quickly. I've been busy all night."
He moved around in the middle of the quilt, but there was still no movement. Yuan Yuanyuan simply lifted the quilt and shouted, "Hurry up, or I'll see you naked..."
Then, she saw that the person lying in the middle of the quilt was not Jixiang Yu.
… is a cow cat.
Extra big, extra fat...
It lay there, taking up a large space. If you didn't open it, you wouldn't have guessed there was a cat inside.
It really breaks the common perception of cat's body shape.
Yuan Yuanyuan was so scared that she closed the quilt again. Then she suddenly thought, something is not right. Jixiang Yu stayed in this tent last night. Where is he now
She lifted the quilt again, looked at the cat that seemed to be silent for a long time, and scratched the cat's head with her hand...
“Don’t move my head… I can’t walk anymore. I didn’t sleep all day yesterday and I’m almost dying this morning.” The cow cat suddenly let out a long inhalation, like a dying person letting out a breath.
He said intermittently, "Put away the camera, ahem. Don't bring the tent or anything. Just carry me down."
Yuan Yuanyuan listened to the sound of the cow cat and felt that this guy might really die. His voice was hoarse, a bit like the sound Jixiang Yu made after coughing so hard that the sky turned dark, not to mention the sound of exhaling.
She knew this was no joke, even though it was pretty funny to see a fat, extremely festive-looking cat doing the voice of the gloomy handsome guy who made the auspicious rain…
When Yuan Yuanyuan was riding in a taxi, she kept watching the driver looking back at the big cat she was holding. There was no way, the cat was too big, almost as big as a child, and she needed both hands to hold it.
"Brother, do you need to go to the hospital?"
"No, ahem. Based on my personal experience, I might pretend to be dead for a while. If you see me getting cold, remember not to throw me away. I will definitely come back to life. I will definitely... After a day, if flies attract me, don't throw me away. Remember to drive them away and don't let them come over..."
"… You are really dead, right? What are you talking about faking? Are you still so careless at this time?!"
Jixiangyu refused to go to the hospital, and Yuanyuan didn't know what to do. She moved a small stool over and sat beside the bed, waiting for it to get cold so that she could take immediate action.
It is said that the prototype of Jixiangyu is actually a cow cat... There are many cat monsters in novels, but in real life, Yuan Yuanyuan has seen very few of them. She doesn’t know where so many cats have gone. This is the first cat monster she has ever seen.
The color of cats is also particular. For example, calico cats are basically all female, and the few male cats are born eunuchs. It cannot be said that all orange cats are fat, but the probability of being fat is definitely higher than that of cats of other colors. Cow cats...
Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly paused—the Cow Cat seemed to be a notorious psychopath among cats.
She looked down at the extremely fat cow-like cat again.
…
Yesterday, Wu Jin stopped her and asked her two questions. She didn't answer the first question for a long time. Later, Wu Jin took it back and asked the second question.
As soon as the second question came out, the monsters around started to get restless. Yuan Yuanyuan clearly saw that several monsters were ready to step forward.
The reason why Yuan Yuanyuan was dissed before was simply because he survived. At first, Yuan Yuanyuan didn't understand why even being alive was a sin, but later he understood a little more and began to understand what the monsters meant.
The official monster army has always regarded the Blood Jade Monster Army as a hero... However, we all know now that the people who are most praised these days are often those who have passed away.
All members died... It was an indescribable tragic feeling, just like when Guan Yu was defeated and fled to Maicheng, there was a feeling of powerlessness, so the monsters worshipped the Blood Jade Monster Army as gods.
Now... there are cracks on this statue.
The monsters who had grown up accepting the concept that all members of the Blood Jade Monster Army were dead, when they heard that some of them were still alive, felt probably like when people heard that Pluto was removed from the list of planets.
Under the circumstances, it wasn't a surprise that this happened in the first place... After Yuan Yuanyuan understood the monsters' psychology, she felt that she understood it.
When she was asked the second question yesterday, she was silent for a while. She knew that she could avoid the first question, but there was absolutely no way to avoid the second question.
If she could avoid even this, she would have to face endless enemies.
Before answering, an idea inexplicably popped up in Yuan Yuanyuan's mind.
She is... probably answering for Yiqi now... If she says that she is on the side of the monster, would it be considered as going against Yiqi's wish
Because of this thought, Yuan Yuanyuan felt uncomfortable for a long time today. After she came back, she burned incense for Yiqi again. In fact, if Yiqi was really alive now, Yuan Yuanyuan felt that this brother would definitely be very strong-willed, unlike her, who was strong on the outside but weak on the inside and needed to rely on acting skills to survive.
After returning, Yuan Yuanyuan was busy taking care of Jixiang Yu and had no time to read comics. Naturally, she didn't know that part of last night's plot had already been published in yesterday's comics.
Recently, the Monster Journal has been publishing stories about the protagonists' lives, and rarely about the monsters. So once they are published, it is considered a big deal. Yesterday's story was the biggest event in the monster world recently.
In a very quaint Taoist temple, several old men were sitting around.
"If I'm not mistaken..." said an old man who looked very energetic, "this monster should be Yiqi."
"Yiqi?" Another elderly man said, "If it's him, haha... then the monsters will be in trouble. I know him. He holds grudges."
"Tell me, what are the chances of him joining our side? We need to be active recently, and it will be much easier for us if we have him."
"The monster offended him badly back then, and now he doesn't dare to let too many people know about his affairs."
"You think it's too easy." When those old men were discussing animatedly, the oldest-looking old man, whose hair and beard were all white, said.
"In terms of loyalty, perhaps no one among the monsters can compare to him... Even if what happened back then, what we should consider now is not whether to bring him over, but... how to guard against him." said the old man.
Yuan Yuanyuan, who was taking care of Jixiang Yu at home, had no idea what was going on here.
She didn't know that a dead person could have such great power that he could even make humans afraid to attack monsters...
In a sense, this is also a very awesome person.
At this moment, she just looked at Jixiang Yu lying on the bed.
Ah... it's cold.
