"After so long, the world has changed so much, but I am still me and have never changed. The night is the most terrible. But for me, is there any difference between day and night?" Qingyi thought.
"Sister, do you know what I truly care about?" Qingyi stared at Ronghua.
Ronghua didn't look at Qingyi because she had no idea how to treat her. She just played the teacup in her hand to divert her own attention.
"Sister, I have known that you are beautiful and clever since childhood. Mother taught you strictly but was gentle with me. I think my character may be nourished by our mother! I am afraid it is the beginning of the tragedy."
Holding the fan, Ronghua stroked and examined it carefully along its lines, "I don't know what you care. The only thing I know is that I don’t want to bother myself to find out what you care about."
Hearing Ronghua’s words, Qingyi raised her head violently and retorted, "Do you think that the hostility could not unlock the seal of my memory?" Seeing Qingyi so irritated, Shigong forgot that she was still angry. He hugged her directly and comforted her, "Don't be angry. Don't hurt yourself with your anger."
Qingyi had already been in a fury. Seeing that Shigong treated her the same as before, she pushed him away directly.
She yelled, "Don't touch me. I asked you to go away. Don't you hear it? I don't want to see you. Don't you understand?"
Looking at Qingyi, who blew her top, Shigong knew that it was not the right time for their reconciliation, but he still bowed his head to give in, "But I want to see you."
Upon hearing his words, Qingyi suddenly calmed down. The tears in her eyes dropped silently, and she felt a bit of pain in her heart.
Ronghua looked up at Qingyi and then called Shigong's name. Hearing it, Shigong turned to look at Ronghua. But when he saw her cold eyes, he didn't know how to speak. "Qingyi," Shigong said timidly. "Shut up," repeated Qingyi.
Qingyi turned around, "I don't need you. Do you think I will hurt myself with the world-changing bow?"
Ronghua looked down with a calm expression, but her hand holding the cup betrayed her inner thoughts. She was also uneasy in mind. Maybe only Qingyi, her own younger sister, would beyond her control in this world! The girl following her in the past had grown up now. Since Qingyi knew that it was her fault that had caused an indelible shadow, she would never forgive herself.
"I remember that in the past, sister, I saw you so painful in your dreams every day, but I had no way to help you or bear it for you. When I learned that you came back from the world-changing platform, I knew that you had been hurt in the Realm of Demons, so I went to the world-changing platform and refined it to keep you away from the pain." Qingyi wiped her tears and said after a deep breath.
"I think it is my greatest tolerance to speak to you so calmly now. But, elder sister, I still want you to know that it was you who gave me a new life. Not everyone can always protect me like you." After finishing speaking, she thought to herself," But I will also grow up! I will not always be the little girl hiding behind you. From beginning to end, all I want is to stand by you and fight by your side."
"I can make up my mind, and you have no right to decide for me."
Qingyi turned around and walked towards the outside. Noticing that, Shigong no longer cared about Ronghua and ran to catch up with Qingyi. He stopped Qingyi and said, "I leave, and you stay here. I won't come to bother you again until you forgive me. OK?"
It was only at this moment that Ronghua fully understood. There was always a scar that could not heal in Qingyi's heart.
Qingyi once lost herself during smoothing over her own mistakes for the gods. In her mind, it seemed that the best choice was to make up for the mistakes she had made. Qingyi struggled to move forward with love and pain. "But, I destroyed all of this."
Releasing Qingyi, Shigong was about to leave. After only a few steps, he turned back and hugged Qingyi again. This time Qingyi did not refuse him. Shigong finally let her go and left after a bitter smile.
Ronghua remembered that Qingyi and Shigong were at loggerheads that day, and she also remembered the last conversation between the two.
"Dare you look at me, look into my eyes, and talk to me? Dare you? You dare not, right? You said that you approached me without any purpose. But what are these now? Are you guilty? I know you are guilty because you are afraid to see my eyes, afraid to see the truth in my eyes. In fact, you already knew who I am and what I aim at. You regard me as a chance to get yourself to the top. You don't want to reincarnate, so you took advantage of me. How dare you do that?"
Ronghua felt a shock in her heart. As if someone had seen what she had done, she took the teacup in a hurry and drank the tea, finding that it was really bitter. Looking at them, Ronghua seemed to see herself in the past. At that time, facing the accusations from everyone, she still said nothing, because she believed he would believe her. But when the man came with them to hurl questions at her, she felt as if a knife had been piercing her heart, tears coursing down her cheeks. "Why would you query me together with them? Have you never believed me?"
Behind Ronghua, a beam of light entered her body from a place where she couldn't see. She didn't notice it. The light seemed to come out from the box, which contained the memories of the world-changing platform.
"You can go back first. If there is anything, I will look for you again." Ronghua secretly conveyed the message to Shigong. She knew he did not leave. Qingyi's current cultivation was not high enough to protect herself if someone stirred up trouble.
Hearing it, Shigong felt relieved and thanked her solemnly. "Thank you, Princess Ronghua."
Ronghua said nothing because she felt sad when seeing the tears in Qingyi's eyes, which revealed Qingyi's sorrow now. Recalling those incidents was like uncovering the scars that were about to heal and exposing the red flesh. It was bloody and painful.
Ronghua sat down and saw him leaving away as if she had seen herself in the past. She shook her head and said to Qingyi, "Calm down. Sit down and have a cup of tea."
Qingyi looked back at Ronghua's expression. Ronghua was very calm and always had an unpredictable smile, pretty but dangerous.
"Sister, making tea is a technique."
Ronghua said with a smile, "A technique?" She stopped speaking but continued the movement of her hands. She scooped some tea leaves in the teapot with a wooden spoon made of mahogany, and then she put the tea in a teacup and poured it with the water boiled in the clay teapot. The steam rose, carrying the fragrance of tea. She could not help but relax. "It’s indeed a technique. If you are not careful enough, the tea will lose its original taste."
The steam with tea fragrance gradually gave birth to fresh breath, giving them a long-lost sense of familiarity, cleaning the desolation in their chest, and making their mind calm and clear. They seemed to see the life that they once had. Gently and softly, Ronghua lifted the teacup of blue-and-white porcelain, without damaging the soul of the tea.
"The tea made without techniques is bitter."
Ronghua held the teacup and handed it to Qingyi. Qingyi reached over her hands to take over the teacup, and she saw a few tea leaves stretching and rotating in the clear green liquid. The tea leaves sank slowly and then rose, and they sank again after rising, repeating three times. The shadow of the tea leaves, and the light of the water complemented each other. It was like a bird, just staying so quietly.
"I used to be like this. I closed my eyes and stayed quietly, doing nothing. That was all of my life, without worries."
"Sister, I haven't tasted your tea for a long time." Qingyi's voice seemed to become soft, and her mood calmed down.
"It tastes wonderful." Ronghua felt relieved. But... "Sister, you rarely make tea, even when we were still on the land of gods." Ronghua smiled. Qingyi knew that there was definitely something her sister wanted to do when she made tea by herself.
"Qingyi...."
"Sister!" Qingyi interrupted Ronghua before she spoke.
"How about explaining that news to me?"
Was that news important?
"Do you believe me?" Ronghua looked at Qingyi and asked softly.
Looking into Ronghua's eyes, Qingyi put down her teacup and said, "As long as you say, I will believe you. As long as you are right, I will believe you."
Have you ever loved someone? Have you ever hated someone?It was easy to love a person. As long as two people offered their own heart sincerely to each other at the same time, they would feel what love was. However, it was difficult to hate someone, because when you hated him, you would wonder how to do it.Could you really assess how important he or she was in your mind clearly?A woman who did fall in love would never let that sincerity and persistence go.Ronghua stood up and looked at the sun tending to fall, "The man I met did not deserve that."There were still a lot of people on the street. When the night came, Ronghua would start to suffer again, but here seemed a little different from the Realm of Demons. At night, the lights were bright here. Even in the cold night, people still lived a happy life, while in the Realm of Demons, it would be the best time to hunt prey.Someone ran over, hit her uni
A lump of black shadows flew towards Ronghua at an extremely high speed. Ronghua was flying and suddenly turned around sharply in an amazingly quick response. A bow secretly appeared in her left hand, and she shot at the shadow without hesitation.The shadow directly swallowed the galloping arrow, and Ronghua was shocked for a second. It’s said that Weilian had been slack in cultivation these years, but apparently, it’s not true. Instead, he became even stronger. However, she didn't saw him cultivating in the Realm of Demons either.As she was thinking, Weilian had caught up and built a wall directly in front of Ronghua. It was a black smoke-liked wall. Ronghua would not consider it as true smoke because she knew this was one of Weilian's talents — the Cage. Once the prey was in it, it could never get out."Damn this man, does he take me as prey?" Ronghua thought indignantly. The Cage would not be solid in the daytime, yet it was evening now wi
Willow branches outside the window drooped. Some flew with the wind, and others remained, seeming to wait for someone. Only loneliness was staying by his side now. After so many years of waiting and searching for her, it appeared that she still kept the everlasting love, with an implication of 'I love you' buried in the memory.Standing at the entrance of the past, she couldn't enter and wouldn't leave, just wanting to ask him, “Do you trust me?” She shed tears, recalling those lies.Ironically, everlasting love came to an end. Only the inconstant love left.He asked, “Whether my love was still everlasting if I forgot my beloved?”She answered that even though lonely, she was willing to wait for the one she loved. Wherever she was, she concealed her identity just for her beloved.In the past ten thousand years, whenever he passed the street corner, snowflakes fell on his shoulders, but she was no longer there to softly
The mysterious territory, full of temptation and danger, was constructed by a strong man at death's door once upon a time. It was just what Ronghua knew from the human race. She didn't know what was in it. But the only point she knew was that this place was dangerous.The entrance of the mysterious territory was in the forest nearby the frontier city. There used to be a lot of Evil Beasts in it. It was no longer peaceful because the mysterious territory was opened. These high-level Evil Beasts rushed out from the forest to kill low-level ones. Some low-level Evil Beasts run out, fortunately, hiding in the woods to kill humans.If they managed to hunt ordinary humans, they would be fine. But if they met humans with high cultivation, they would be severely hurt or even killed. Some were lucky, just contracted with their beast nuclei remained, so they wouldn't die.The crowd entered through the entrance in the forest. They should be youngsters of
This massive flock of Evil Beasts was more serious than they thought. A sizable group of Evil Beasts of unknown level rushed out from the deep forest. Although these people were not weak in power, they did not expect to cope with the crazy Evil Beasts. For a while, they either ran to the tree or flew to the sky. But there still were those who had been overwhelmed by the cluster of Evil Beasts before they had time to respond. They all ran for their lives without any time to help others.Fortunately, the trees here were tall and durable enough for them to survive. Ronghua looked at those aristocratic men. As expected, each of them was pale and petrified. "I am afraid that such a terrible scene will not be seen on their training ground!" thought Ronghua."Don't even think about it. This is the case!" thought Ronghua. She looked up, only to see that the Evil Beasts fled fast. If there had been no major disasters, then it would have been the mysterious territory
Zhong Bancheng was a fierce assault-type spiritualist, so most of his attacks could hardly be resisted. Ronghua dodged his attack everywhere, and it became even more difficult carrying Xia Pumo.People of the imperial clan of Zither saw their companion being attacked so hardly by others. "Although he had been driven out, he also belonged to our imperial clan, and his noble identity couldn't be ignored. How could they let such a fellow lose their face?" They thought."Zhong Bancheng, you are simply too insulting." People of the imperial clan of Zither cried out. Then they all fought back. Ronghua saw that they had solved the problem for her."I could have evaded his attack, but now it is a bit troublesome carrying Xia Pumo," Ronghua thought.Now the attack from Zhong Bancheng was interrupted, so Ronghua took Xia Pumo to fly to the top of a tree."It's amazing," said Xia Pumo. If he didn't see that just now, he wouldn't
He never expected that Murong Zhe turned into a demon. A few days after he woke up, he didn't practice. He just sat on an endless day by day. He was waiting for someone.Finally, he saw him. It was the first time he had seen Murong Zhe in such a long time. Murong Zhe really had turned into a demon. Although he did not believe it, it was true. He advised Murong Zhe not to turn into a demon, but Murong Zhe said, "I like you. If you are willing to seclude from the world with me, I will give up."As a result, he left, because Murong Zhe's reason was unacceptable. After a long time, he could hear the news about Murong Zhe every day, but he was so scared of Murong Zhe.Finally, Murong Zhe's behavior provoked all imperial clans, and they killed him together. Before he died, he said to Xia Pumo with tears, "You finally come to see me." But Xia Pumo burst into tears, indulged in the painful fact that Murong Zhe would soon pass away. Xia Pumo secretly sw
Ronghua and Xia Pumo walked side by side, wondering where they were. Framed by the villain Zhong Bancheng while entering, they reached this dangerous place. Xia Pumo was still calm, but Ronghua had been in a fury.Lingxi was brought away, and Ronghua didn't know her present whereabouts. If she was in danger and unable to deal with it, then Ronghua dared not imagine it.Xia Pumo noticed that Ronghua was angry, but he didn't know the reason. He held his tongue because he had been unwilling to talk to people since childhood. Keeping silence might be better.While they were walking, Ronghua stopped suddenly and stood there. Xia Pumo asked with puzzlement, "What's wrong?" Ronghua looked at him and said seriously, "It is strange here."Xia Pumo looked around, "A bit. We've been here for so long, but haven't yet seen a monster approaching us."Usually, they should have met some danger. But in fact, they did not encounter any
