Night 8: Fateful Night 13 1
The air around him seemed to be being pulled by someone and was severely distorted.
I was floating in the air, helplessly watching what was happening below me.
Huang Mingxi covered his chest with his hands, and the emerald green blood flowed out from between his fingers like emerald water.
His fair face became even paler, revealing a terrifying grayness. He looked very weak, as if he would faint in the next second, but he tried hard to stand up straight, looking at the silver-haired boy with cold eyes.
"I feel sad for you, Luo Sheng." Huang Mingxi's voice was neither hurried nor slow, revealing an awe-inspiring majesty. "Thousands of years ago, you were clearly an ordinary human being with a clear distinction between good and evil, but now you have become a hunter who does things without asking for reasons."
The boy named Luo Sheng frowned unhappily. He raised his chin impatiently and said sarcastically, "Yes, a long time ago, I was able to distinguish between good and evil and rescued a blood descendant that looked weak and pitiful. What happened? The blood descendant suddenly went crazy and killed all my relatives. If a hunter happened to pass by, I would not be alive. Since then, I vowed to become a hunter who kills all evil blood descendants. I will never let the same tragedy happen to others again! Am I wrong to do this? Huang Mingxi!"
"So, you want to kill me too?" Huang Mingxi's eyes, which had turned red at some point, were gradually covered with a layer of deep sadness.
Seeing his sad expression, my heart felt like it was stabbed by a needle. I tried to get closer to Huang Mingxi, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't touch the corner of his clothes. An invisible barrier stood between him and me, preventing me from getting close to him.
I anxiously circled around Huang Mingxi, wanting to comfort him but not knowing where to start.
Luo Sheng stared at Huang Mingxi for a long time before he sighed and said, "As long as you are still a blood descendant, I will never reconcile with you."
The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became strange. I looked at the silver-haired boy Luo Sheng, who looked sad, and then looked at Huang Mingxi, who looked sad. I had no idea what was going on.
Ji Youran and Ji Liuli seemed to be suppressed by some invisible force. They were now lying on the ground. Although their eyes were open, they could not utter a word.
It seems they can no longer be counted on.
I looked at my body carefully again - shortly after I lost consciousness, I felt my body become very light, as if it was floating up. When I came to my senses, I found that "I" had left my body and was floating in the air.
Did my soul leave my body without permission?
I was so frightened that I lost my mind and immediately tried to get into my body.
However, no matter how I struggled, an invisible barrier firmly protected my body and Huang Mingxi together, and I couldn't get close to my body at all and could only wander around.
Moreover, it seemed that no one noticed that my soul had left my body. No matter how I spoke or moved, no one noticed my existence.
My body looked like I was asleep, lying flat behind Huang Mingxi.
Huang Mingxi stood in front of me and confronted Luo Sheng.
——What exactly is wrong?
After the initial panic, I gradually realized that the conversation between Luo Sheng and Huang Mingxi was a little strange.
Huang Mingxi said: Luo Sheng was a human being a thousand years ago.
How did he know that Luo Sheng was a human before?
Do they know each other?
Why did Huang Mingxi look so sad when he looked at Luo Sheng?
It's like... being betrayed by the person closest to you.
There was nothing I could do so I could only watch them anxiously.
Huang Mingxi seemed to be seriously injured, and green blood kept flowing.
He suddenly frowned and coughed, then asked with a glimmer of hope: "Not all blood descendants are evil. Those blood descendants who live by sucking human life energy have long been expelled from the blood descendant kingdom and almost all of them have been killed by hunters. The blood descendants now will not harm humans... Even so, do you still have to follow your decision - to kill all the blood descendants?"
"If you don't remove the roots, they will grow again in the spring breeze." Luo Sheng narrowed his eyes unmoved, "Huang Mingxi, I thought you would rather lose your life than surrender to the blood descendants, but I didn't expect... I am so disappointed in you."
Huang Mingxi's body shook and he almost fell down.
"Stop talking! Think of a way to stop the bleeding!" I floated around Huang Mingxi anxiously.
Even if he was a blood descendant or a prince, he couldn't stand the constant bleeding! No matter what kind of creature it was, if it lost too much blood, it would be in danger of death!
This hunter named Luo Sheng is really inexplicable! First he used some weird magic to control me and hurt Huang Mingxi, and now he is talking nonsense to the injured Huang Mingxi. Is he trying to consume Huang Mingxi's physical strength and then take advantage of him?
This is too despicable!
He must be unable to defeat Huang Mingxi head-on, so he wants to delay time! Huang Mingxi is really something! Why is he talking nonsense to his enemy!
However, when I was getting anxious, Huang Mingxi and Luo Sheng looked at each other strangely without saying a word. It's true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is... Bah... Slip of the tongue!
In short, just when Huang Mingxi's face was becoming more and more bleak and I was getting extremely anxious, Luo Sheng took out an exorcism gem bigger than his head from behind like a magic trick.
Looking at the intricate and gorgeous patterns on the gems, my heart seemed to be grabbed by something. For a moment, my blood stopped flowing and I even forgot to breathe.
"Huang Mingxi, if your housekeeper hadn't insisted on getting Yu Linglong and killed the teacher's family, I wouldn't have involved innocent passers-by. The teacher is the benefactor who saved my life. He raised me, taught me, gave me a home, and was so kind to me, but you..." Luo Sheng's voice became more and more excited, and he choked up at the end. The cold boy suddenly looked a little pitiful, "My father and mother died to protect you! Even if you became a blood descendant, I don't hate you! You had no choice at the time, and... you did do a lot for mankind... But! You don't even want to leave me a home, Master!"
“No…” Ji Youran struggled to say, “It’s not like that… Your teacher just died of old age, it wasn’t me who killed him…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Sheng rushed to Ji Youran like a gust of wind. He raised the Demon-Exorcist Gem angrily, his red eyes filled with sadness and hatred: "You are lying!"
A transparent blade extended from the top of the bright red gem, emitting a sacred silver light, and suddenly pierced into Ji Youran's right chest.
Light green blood splattered and Ji Youran let out a groan of pain.
But he did not flinch. He gritted his teeth to resist the severe pain, then took a deep breath and explained with difficulty: "Whether it is a hunter or a goblin, there is a time when life ends... It's just that we always maintain the appearance of our youth, so it gives people the illusion that we will not grow old and die... Your teacher, he is also my friend... and the Yu Linglong you fed to Cha Ye... is actually my family heirloom... Legend has it that Yu Linglong can turn ordinary people into the most powerful hunters... In fact, Yu Linglong has another little-known function, which is to let life start again - that is... rebirth... Your teacher... He is very old... He can no longer keep Yu Linglong... He is also worried that you will be alone, so he gave Yu Linglong to you and asked you to keep it... He told you that many blood descendants coveted it... and asked you to leave, so that you don’t have to endure the pain of life and death... Even when he was dying... He was still worried about you, and asked me to take care of you... Who would have thought that you would bring Yu Linglong back to your teacher at the most inopportune time... The result is what you saw..."
"So... when I rushed home, I saw the teacher dying in your arms? Hahaha! Do you think I would believe it?" Luo Sheng's eyes gradually filled with tears, and he shouted angrily, "Aren't you the teacher's friend? Why didn't you give Yu Linglong to the teacher? Then the teacher wouldn't have died!"
Ji Youran's expression dimmed, and he murmured, "Your teacher... is such an upright person... When I gave Yu Linglong to him for safekeeping, he promised that he would never let Yu Linglong have any mishaps. As a result, he refused to eat Yu Linglong until his death. He did what he promised... But he... No matter what, these have nothing to do with the master... Don't blame him wrongly."
"You all say that you are not at fault, so am I the one who is at fault?" Luo Sheng stood up woodenly, "Because I took Yu Linglong away, the teacher left me..."
"Luo Sheng..." Huang Mingxi called out his name reluctantly.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't fought with you without asking anything clearly, I wouldn't have lost the last chance to save the teacher..." The demon-killing gem in Luo Sheng's hand slowly fell to the ground, making a crisp "clang" sound.
I stared blankly at the people in front of me, unable to describe the feeling in my heart.
Could it be that I was inexplicably turned into a hunter because of a misunderstanding? There really is no conspiracy, right? If the truth is just a misunderstanding... that's too ridiculous!
Moreover, the originally hideous Luo Sheng and the particularly treacherous and hateful Ji Youran seemed to have been whitewashed in an instant.
Luo Sheng is no longer so annoying, but makes people feel a little distressed; Ji Youran is no longer so annoying, but makes people feel very sad.
Now that it has happened, it is too late to regret, but can you please solve the problem at hand first!
Huang Mingxi's blood is almost gone, right? Ji Youran seems to be seriously injured too! And Luo Sheng! It's scary to talk to yourself! And me! Who can help me get back to my body?
As if to confirm my guess, Huang Mingxi suddenly groaned weakly, then fell limply to the ground.
"Owner!"
"Your Majesty!"
Ji Youran and Liuli screamed at the same time.
But they are already unable to protect themselves and now they can't move at all!
I rushed over anxiously, but was bounced back by that damn barrier and almost fell down.
"You... do you hate me..." Luo Sheng, who was daydreaming, suddenly asked me.
Ji Youran looked over in confusion, and found that he was not talking to her, so she turned her attention back to Huang Mingxi.
I pointed at myself hesitantly.
Is he talking to me?
Luo Sheng nodded slowly.
"You can see me!" I jumped up.
"Okay." Luo Sheng continued to nod expressionlessly.
"Then change me back quickly! Huang Mingxi has fainted! Is he okay?" I stomped my feet in dissatisfaction.
"Answer my question." I don't know if Luo Sheng became more stubborn because he was too stimulated. His tone was fierce, as if he was saying, "I will just stand by and watch if you don't answer the question."
I could only say reluctantly: "I can't say I hate you! Before I knew the reason, I really blamed you two. I was just an innocent passerby, but you... But after knowing the truth, although I was about to cry, I still felt that since it had happened, let it go with the wind..."
It's rare for me to be literary for once. Actually, what I want to say is: you and Ji Youran, one lost a teacher and the other lost a friend, which are much more miserable than mine. In comparison, I am not so indignant.
What's more, Huang Mingxi's current situation is really bad. At this critical juncture, if I offend the only intact person at the scene, wouldn't I be seeking death?
