The fifth night: Fireflies light up the summer 3
I'm not a "flower maniac"!
I pinched my cheeks, which seemed to have grown thicker, guiltily, and immediately saw Huang Mingxi's defensive look, backing away with his arms folded across his chest...
What are you doing? I'm not a pervert!
I licked my lips which seemed a little dry as if I was trying to hide my true intention and looked away.
Then, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a very conspicuous handbag, which he was holding in his hand and covering his chest.
Huh? What is he doing with a bag?
I stretched out my hand in confusion, the target, the handbag.
"You...what do you want to do?" Huang Mingxi's guard, which had just been let down, was immediately rekindled, and he asked with an unstable breath.
…
I was embarrassed for a second, and suddenly said with a sense of malice: "What do you think I want to do?"
Huang Mingxi took a step back and shouted desperately: "If you dare to attack me, you will die!"
Several black lines suddenly appeared on my forehead.
Although I am a human being who is in the process of becoming a vampire, I am still a human being so far!
I'm very kind, okay?
Human beings are such suspicious and fragile creatures!
But when I saw Huang Mingxi's exaggerated reaction, I couldn't help but soften my heart.
It seems that he was really frightened by my action just now.
I had no choice but to touch my nose and ask as gently as possible: "What are you doing with this thing?"
Huang Mingxi blinked and looked at the handbag, with a puzzled expression as if the handbag was not brought by him.
After a long while, he suddenly realized: "It's all because of you !"
What does a handbag have to do with me?
I looked at him in surprise.
"Aren't you going to catch fireflies?" Huang Mingxi pouted in dissatisfaction, "These are bags for holding fireflies. They are specially made by Liuli. Fireflies can survive in the bags for two days without starving or suffocating."
Then I remembered that I was only busy looking for fireflies, but I didn't bring any tools to catch them.
Liuli is still thoughtful.
It seems that Liuli is not as unkind as she usually appears. At least she cares about fireflies, doesn't she?
I excitedly took the handbag and rummaged through the neatly folded bags inside.
I don't know what material it is made of, but it feels smooth and looks very thin, but it doesn't wrinkle at all.
I carefully took out a bag, and although my fingers felt smooth, I could hardly see the outline of the bag. It was like a soap bubble, completely transparent.
Huang Mingxi took out the small transparent bag from her handbag, raised her hand, and I heard a "rustling" sound.
Small transparent bags were floating down in the air, swirling around. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to notice the existence of these bags.
——What is Huang Mingxi doing?
I watched in amazement as Huang Mingxi kept throwing the bag in all directions.
I didn't wake up until my bag was empty.
What is this guy doing? Isn't he here to help me?
I was angry and anxious: "What are you doing!"
Huang Mingxi ignored me. He took out a conch-like object from somewhere, put it to his mouth and blew it gently.
“Wuwuwu——”
The ups and downs of the sound came out from the strange "conch". The ethereal tone was like the wind singing, full of joy.
Okay, I admit that Huang Mingxi plays the "conch" very nicely, but can you first explain what your previous behavior meant?
Huang Mingxi must be here to play a trick on me!
I walked out of the stream angrily and searched among the reeds and low bushes for the small bag that Huang Mingxi had thrown everywhere.
But because the bags were transparent, I couldn't find them with my eyes alone, so I just felt around with my hands.
Just when I finally pinched a corner of the bag, something strange happened.
A few fireflies accidentally flew into the bag, and the originally flat bag in my hand immediately began to swell and turned into a round ball within two seconds.
The fireflies are playing happily in the transparent "ball".
I loosened my hands holding the ball in amazement. The fireflies flashed their wings diligently, and the ball immediately floated up.
At the same time, the small transparent bags scattered around me were occupied by other fireflies.
Transparent "firefly balls" rose up by the stream and soon covered the branches and grass tips.
The fireflies that did not get into the bag danced around the "firefly ball".
From a distance, you would think a grand dance party was being held here - bright yellow street lights lit up in the forest, and countless star-like fireflies flew by in groups, dancing in the wind like the hems of fairies' skirts.
After the firefly balls and the fireflies played around for a while, they all approached Huang Mingxi. Just when I thought Huang Mingxi would be drowned in the yellow fluorescence, the firefly balls stopped approaching and stopped in mid-air.
The melodious music drifted deep into the forest, and the firefly balls swayed up and down and left and right to the cheerful melody, as if responding to the beat of Huang Mingxi.
At this moment, Huang Mingxi was standing in the stream, holding a conch as big as his fist in both hands. The conch was a dreamy light purple, with layers of purple halos constantly fluctuating on the conch, echoing the yellow light emitted by the fireflies.
Huang Mingxi's handsome face looked extremely peaceful. He slightly closed his eyes, and his long eyelashes covered them, trembling gently like a small fan.
I have never been so grateful as I am at this moment.
Fortunately, I was attacked by the Bloodborn.
Fortunately, I am not a normal human being now.
Otherwise, I would definitely regret missing Huang Mingxi's expression at this moment.
Precisely because I am a human who is about to become a vampire, I can clearly see Huang Mingxi's face in the hazy fluorescence.
——Sacred, noble and convincing.
At this moment, the forest and Huang Mingxi, who was surrounded by fireflies, were incredibly beautiful...
"Hey! Why don't you come and thank me!" Just as I was intoxicated by the beauty and the scenery, the music stopped abruptly. Huang Mingxi put away the "conch" and brought me back to reality.
Looking at his smug look, it was as if everything that happened just now was caused by him...
etc!
Could it really be him who did this? Could it be related to the sound of the conch?
"Not too stupid." Huang Mingxi saw through my thoughts at a glance, as if he could read my mind. He explained, "The musical instrument just now is called 'Insect Snail'. It is one of the treasures of the Bloodline World. As long as you blow the insect snail, you can command all the insects at will."
He really deserves to be called the Blood Doctor!
I looked at Huang Mingxi with admiration.
"Wow! So cool!" I rushed over excitedly, "Show it to me!"
With this, can I also command Firefly?
Huang Mingxi quickly dodged to the side and frowned, saying, "You are not a true descendant yet, and you are not yet able to control the power of the snail."
"Stingy!" I pouted and muttered, "Can't you control the snails yourself?"
Humph! You are a pure human being who is even weaker than me!
Huang Mingxi picked up a firefly ball from the reeds, rubbed it in his hands, and looked at me mysteriously: "I am different from those ordinary blood descendants."
"Yes, yes, you are the Blood Doctor, you know everything!" I frowned in dissatisfaction and poked the soft firefly ball in frustration.
With Huang Mingxi's stubborn personality, I have no chance of touching the magical snail.
Ever since I was attacked by the blood descendants, I have been filled with an inexplicable aversion to the existence of "blood descendants".
My mother once said that all life has its unusual parts. Does this also mean that there are good and bad blood descendants? Although Huang Mingxi's driver is a little noisy, he is also an interesting blood descendant, and he will serve Huang Mingxi, who is a human. This shows that the driver is actually a good blood descendant, right? As for the two strange blood descendants who attacked me, although I have long forgotten their appearance, the feeling they left on me is still very clear. They often come back to my mind in the middle of the night and scare me - they should be bad blood descendants.
Since blood descendants can be divided into good and bad, then as a treasure of the blood descendants, is the snail good or bad?
Huang Mingxi kneaded the , as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, as if he had made up his mind, he took out a conch covered with purple light from behind him. He sighed slightly and explained, "The reason why I don't let you touch it is because it has a fatal attraction to the blood descendants. Don't think it is just an unconscious prop. Most blood descendants not only cannot control it, but will be affected by it. In serious cases, they will even lose their self-awareness and become slaves of the insect snail. However, the insect snail will only affect the blood descendants. You haven't become a real blood descendant yet, so you shouldn't be affected too much."
After saying this, he hesitantly placed the snail in my palm and cautiously watched my reaction.
This little thing covered in purple light looks small, but it is heavy to hold and feels ice-cold in the hand.
I looked at the snail curiously and found that it was no different from an ordinary conch. Apart from the purple light that kept passing across its shell, there was nothing special about it.
I turned the snail over and over in wonder, and even blew a long breath into the deep mouth of the snail. Apart from the unpleasant "whoosh" sound, I couldn't make any other sound.
I asked Huang Mingxi in frustration: "Why can't I make any sound?"
The boy showed a look of surprise on his face. He was stunned and silent for a while, then suddenly said excitedly: "Oh my God! You are not affected by the snails? You still have a human heart?"
"Ah?" I looked at Huang Mingxi in confusion.
"All blood descendants will be affected by the snail. This influence can also be called resonance. Didn't a voice appear in your mind, teaching you how to use the snail?"
"So magical?" I curiously put the conch mouth to my ear, and I didn't hear any other sound except the usual "swooshing" sound. And my mother once taught me that this sound, which is often mistaken for waves, is just the sound of air flowing in the conch, which is a natural phenomenon.
Huang Mingxi stretched his neck and came closer, and asked nervously: "Did you hear it?"
I pricked up my ears and listened carefully again. There were indeed no sounds like what Huang Mingxi had described. I could only shake my head honestly: "No."
Huang Mingxi took the snail and squinted his eyes to feel it for a while. His brows were furrowed tightly and his ears moved slightly, as if he was listening to something. After a while, he stuffed the snail into my hand again and said encouragingly, "Try again?"
I had no choice but to put the conch next to my ear again.
A minute later, I returned the snail to him in disappointment: "I didn't hear anything..."
That “huahua” sound doesn’t sound like anyone talking, right?
Huang Mingxi suddenly held my hand tightly. He was as excited as Columbus who discovered the New World. He shook his hands exaggeratedly and said, "You must be an angel sent by God! You are the most peculiar blood descendant I have ever seen!"
"I'm not a blood descendant yet..." I retorted subconsciously.
"This is your most precious thing!" Huang Mingxi was so excited that he danced with joy. "You are the only human being so far who did not immediately become a blood descendant after the Descendant Ceremony!"
What's so exciting about this? You already knew this, right?
I looked at Huang Mingxi holding my hands tightly in confusion. This guy has always adhered to the principle of "no physical contact between men and women", and this is the first time I have seen such an inappropriate reaction...
"You are also the only Blood Descendant who has no reaction to the snails!" The boy's cheeks turned red with excitement. He took a deep breath, "Only Blood Descendants can use the snails. Not only are you not affected by the snails, but you can't even use them. This only proves one thing. You are still a human being in essence!"
What?
"That means I am still a human being, and I will never become a blood descendant in the future, right?" I immediately held Huang Mingxi's hand tightly and looked at him hopefully.
"We can't be sure yet." Huang Mingxi said excitedly, "But we can't rule out this possibility!"
"Oh my God! That's great!" I jumped happily while holding Huang Mingxi's hand.
This way I won't have to worry about absorbing other people's life energy in the future! I can continue to jump around in the sun, make lots of friends, and go back to my parents and be an ordinary girl!
marvelous!
"Ahem!" Just as I was cheering, Huang Mingxi had calmed down. He coughed dryly and said coldly, "Don't be too happy too soon. Everything will be determined after you have completed the full body test."
"What are we waiting for!" I pulled Huang Mingxi back.
"Don't get excited." Huang Mingxi stood still, "We still have to bring the fireflies back first."
"Yes, yes! Fireflies!" However, when I saw the firefly balls hanging all over the tree, I started to have a dilemma again, "How can I take so many back home?"
Huang Mingxi said awkwardly: "Let go of your hand first..."
"Uh, hehe..." I loosened my hands in embarrassment. Huang Mingxi's soft and delicate fingers were taken away by him, and a strange feeling of loss suddenly flashed in my mind.
At the same time, I noticed that the tips of Huang Mingxi's ears had turned red.
No matter when, he is always so cute!
Huang Mingxi pretended to be serious and picked up the snail, put it next to his mouth and blew it gently. The melodious "woo woo" sound floated in the forest shrouded in the night. The gentle melody was different from the melody that controlled the fireflies to drill into the bag by themselves. It sounded like a mother calling, calling the children playing outside to go home early.
The firefly balls dotted on the branches and grass tips began to sway one after another, and gradually gathered into a long firefly belt to the sound of music.
Huang Mingxi played the conch while walking towards the mountain path he came from. The firefly balls followed him quietly, floating towards the Rose Castle in a mighty procession.
From a distance, it looks like the Milky Way in the sky at midnight.
I followed Huang Mingxi from a distance.
At this moment he was solemn, dignified, holy and beautiful.
I should have admired him or liked him even more, but a terrible desire to destroy suddenly surged up.
I want to destroy this perfect scene, I want to disrupt this moving music, I want Huang Mingxi to stop playing, and let him be quiet forever...
——What on earth is wrong with me!
