Chapter 31

As long as the air condensed at this moment,

Xie Lian would know. This sentence,

Might not have been a good question.

Although the two of them had gotten along quite happily these days, it did not mean that they were close enough to make such a request. Without waiting for him to answer, Xie Lian immediately smiled and said, "I was just saying casually, don't take it too seriously."

Hua Cheng closed his eyes,

After a short while,

He smiled and said, "I'll show you when I have the chance in the future."

If someone else said this,

It would naturally be a perfunctory reply. "When I have the chance in the future" was equivalent to "Don't think about it, forget about it". But since it was Hua Cheng who said it,

Xie Lian felt that,

If he said in the future, then in the future, he would definitely do it,

Instead, he became a bit more interested,

He smiled and said, "Okay. Then when you feel it's okay, you can show me again. Let's rest first. "

Tossing and turning until the middle of the night,

He had long thrown the idea of cooking to the back of his mind and lay down on the mat again. Hua Cheng also lay down. No one bothered about it,

Why after each of them had revealed their identities, a Heavenly Priest and a ghost could still lie on the same tattered mat,

They joked and joked,

They chatted randomly.

There was no pillow on the straw mat, so Hua Cheng used his arm as a pillow. Xie Lian also used his arm as a pillow,

He casually said, "Your Ghost Realm seems to be really idle, don't you need to report?"

Not only did Hua Cheng use his arm as a pillow, he also propped up his leg and said, "What report? I'm the biggest. Furthermore, everyone does their own thing, no one can control anyone else. "

It turned out that the Ghost Realm was a group of chaotic and disorganized wandering ghosts. Xie Lian said, "So that's how it is. I thought you guys were unified like the Heavenly Court. If that's the case, have you seen the other Ghost Kings? "

Hua Cheng said, "I have."

Xie Lian said, "Green Ghost Qi Rong has also seen them?"

Hua Cheng said, "Are you talking about that low-class trash?"

Xie Lian thought to himself, "How am I supposed to answer this? Is it? " Fortunately, he didn't need to answer it. Hua Cheng said, "I said hello, then he ran away."

Xie Lian's intuition told him that this' greeting 'was definitely not a normal greeting. Sure enough, Hua Cheng leisurely said, "I also got the title of' Blood Rain Tanhua '."

"…"

So when he said that he destroyed another ghost's lair, he was referring to the Green Ghost, Qi Rong. And this "greeting" meant a bloodbath. In his heart, Xie Lian thought that this greeting was truly out of the ordinary. Rubbing his chin, he asked, "Does Qing Gui and Qi Rong have a grudge?"

Hua Cheng replied, "Yes."

"What grudge?"

"He's an eyesore."

Xie Lian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Could it be that you challenged the thirty-three Heavenly Officials because you found them an eyesore? He said, "There were Heavenly Officials in the Heavenly Court who said that he has low taste and that even the World of Ghosts and Souls despises him. Could it be true?"

Hua Cheng replied, "Of course. Black Water also dislikes him. "

Xie Lian asked, "Who's Black Water?" Then he immediately reacted. "Is it that 'Black Water Sinks Boat'?"

Hua Cheng replied, "That's right. They're also called Black Water Ghost. "

Xie Lian recalled that this Black Water Profound Ghost was also an "Absolute", while Blue Ghost Qi Rong was only a Near Absolute to make up the numbers. He asked with great interest, "Are you very familiar with this Profound Ghost?"

Hua Cheng lazily replied, "I'm not familiar with him. In the World of Ghosts and Souls, I'm not familiar with many people. "

Xie Lian was a bit surprised and asked, "Is that so? I thought you had a lot of subordinates. Then maybe our understanding of 'familiar' is a bit different. "

Hua Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "That's right. In the World of Ghosts and Souls, those who aren't 'Absolute' don't have the qualifications to talk to me. "

This was an extremely arrogant sentence, but he said it so confidently and confidently that it was a matter of course. Xie Lian faintly smiled and said, "Your World of Ghosts and Souls is pretty good. Generally speaking, there are only a few big ones. Unlike the Heaven Realm, where I can't even remember which Heavenly Officials there are in the Heavenly Court. In the Middle Heaven, those waiting to ascend are practically a vast ocean. "

Hua Cheng said, "What's there to remember? Don't remember, it's just a waste of your brain. "

Xie Lian laughed, "Haha, if you can't always remember other people's names, it's quite offensive." It should be known that Heavenly Officials cared a lot about face. Hua Cheng sneered, "If you can be offended over such a small matter, you must be a narrow-minded piece of trash."

After chatting for a while, Xie Lian was afraid that the topic would delve into sensitive areas, so he no longer talked about the difference between the two realms. Glancing at the tightly shut wooden door, he said, "That child, I wonder when he will return?"

When he thought of that deafening sentence 'I want to save the common people', many chaotic images surged up in his mind, but he forcefully suppressed them. At this time, he heard Hua Cheng say, "That sentence was really good."

Xie Lian asked, "What?"

Hua Cheng unhurriedly said, "'I want to save the common people'."

"… …"

Xie Lian felt as if he had suffered a heavy blow.

He turned over and curled up like a shrimp. Covering his face with his hands, he practically wished he had another pair of hands to cover his ears. He moaned, "… … San Lang ah."

Hua Cheng seemed to have moved even closer to him. Behind him, he said in a deadpan manner, "Hm? Is there a problem with that sentence? "

He kept asking, but Xie Lian couldn't change his mind. He turned back and helplessly said, "Silly."

However, Hua Cheng said, "What are you afraid of? Daring to speak of the common people, whether it's to save the common people or to slaughter the common people, I sincerely admire them. The former is much more difficult than the latter. Of course, I admire them even more. "

Xie Lian didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he shook his head. Stretching out his body, he said, "If you dare to speak, you also need to dare to do it. You also need to be able to do it."

He covered his eyes with one hand and said, "Ai. Alright, it's actually not that big of a deal. Han-yue's words are already okay. When I was a bit younger, I said even more foolish things. "

Hua Cheng smiled and said, "Oh? What kind of words? Tell me. "

After a moment of absent-mindedness, Xie Lian recalled as he faintly smiled and said, "Many, many years ago, there was once a person who told me he couldn't continue living. He asked me what he was living for, what was the meaning of living."

He glanced at Hua Cheng and said, "Do you know what I answered?"

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but there seemed to be a glimmer in Hua Cheng's eyes. He softly asked, "How did you answer?"

Xie Lian said, "I said to him, 'If you don't know how to continue living, then you should continue living for me.'

"'If you don't know what the meaning of living is, then please take me as the meaning of your life for the time being. Take me as the pillar that supports you to continue living.'"

"Hahaha … …"

As Xie Lian thought about it, he suddenly couldn't help but laugh. Shaking his head, he said, "Even now, I still don't understand. What was I thinking at that time? Why did I have the courage to say something like becoming the meaning of someone else's life? "

Hua Cheng didn't say anything. Xie Lian continued, "Truly, only someone that young could say something like that. At that time, I really thought I was omnipotent and fearless. Now that you want me to say something like that, I can't say it anymore. "

He slowly said, "I don't know what happened to that person afterwards. Becoming the meaning of someone's life is already an extremely heavy matter, let alone saving the common people. "

Inside Pu Qi Monastery, there was a long period of silence.

After a while, Hua Cheng faintly said, "Something like saving the common people, it doesn't matter. To dare say something like that at such a young age, although it's brave, it's also very foolish. "

Xie Lian said, "Yes."

However, Hua Cheng added another sentence, "Although it's foolish, it's very brave."

"… …"

Xie Lian smiled and said, "I really have to thank you."

Hua Cheng said, "You're welcome."

The two of them stared at the broken roof of Pu Qi Monastery for a while before Hua Cheng said, "However, Your Highness the Crown Prince, we've only known each other for a few days. Is it alright for you to say so much to me?"

Xie Lian let out a sigh and said, "What's the problem? Just do whatever you want. Even if you've known each other for dozens of years, it would only take a day for them to become strangers. If you want to say it, then say it. Strangers meeting by chance, meeting and then separating. If you don't, then separating. In the end, all good things must come to an end. Everyone, just do whatever you want. "

Hua Cheng seemed to chuckle softly. Suddenly, he said, "If."

Xie Lian turned his head and asked, "If what?"

Hua Cheng wasn't looking at him. Instead, he was looking at the broken roof of Pu Qi Monastery. Xie Lian could only see the handsome left side of this youth's face.

He calmly said, "I'm not good-looking."

Xie Lian said, "Ah?"

Only then did Hua Cheng turn his head slightly and said, "If my original appearance wasn't good-looking, would you still want to see it?"

Xie Lian was startled and said, "Is that so? Although there's no reason, I always feel that your original appearance definitely isn't too ugly. "

Hua Cheng said half-truthfully, "That's not necessarily true. What if my facial features are messed up, ugly as a rakshasa and evil as a yaksha? What are you going to do? "

Hearing him say this, Xie Lian originally thought it was a little interesting. So as an overlord of the Ghost Realm, the devil incarnate that would cause all immortals and deities to pale at the mention of his name, he would also care about whether his original appearance was good-looking or not? But when he thought deeper, he didn't find it interesting anymore.

He vaguely remembered that among the various legends of Hua Cheng's birth, there was a rumor that he was "deformed since childhood" and so on. If this was true, then he must have often been discriminated against because of this. It might even have started when he was young. Perhaps it was because of this reason that he was especially sensitive to his original appearance.

Thus, Xie Lian considered his words and said, "About this … …"

Using the most gentle tone, he sincerely said, "Actually, the only reason I want to see your original appearance is because, you see, we're already like this … …"

Hua Cheng said, "Hm? What do you mean by 'like this'? "

Xie Lian said, "… … Right now, we can also be considered friends, right? Then, since we're friends, we naturally have to be honest with each other. That's why I said I want to see your real appearance. What does this have to do with whether your original appearance is good-looking or not? You asked me what I'm going to do, of course I'm not going to do anything. Don't worry, as long as it's your real appearance, I'll definitely … … What are you laughing at? I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart. "

When he said the last few words, Xie Lian felt the body of the youth beside him seemed to tremble slightly. At first, he was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, "Are my words really that good that he's moved to this extent?" But he was also too embarrassed to turn his head to see what was going on. Who knew that after a while, an extremely low laughter could be heard from the side. Xie Lian felt very depressed and put his hand on Hua Cheng's shoulder to push him. "San Lang … … Why are you laughing like this? Is there something wrong with what I said? "

Hua Cheng instantly stopped trembling and turned around. He said, "No, what you said makes a lot of sense."

Xie Lian only felt even more depressed and said, "You're not sincere … …"

Hua Cheng, however, said, "I swear, no matter what, you won't be able to find someone more sincere than me."

Xie Lian didn't want to talk anymore and turned his back to Hua Cheng. "Forget it, go to sleep. Sleep well and don't talk. "

Hua Cheng laughed lightly for a while and said, "Next time."

Although he had already decided to sleep, when Hua Cheng opened his mouth, Xie Lian still couldn't help but answer, "What next time?"

Hua Cheng said in a low voice, "The next time we meet, I will use my original appearance to see you."

There were a lot of things to ponder about in this sentence. Xie Lian originally wanted to ask again, but after one night, he couldn't stop the drowsiness from welling up. He really couldn't hold on any longer, so he fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, when Xie Lian woke up and got up, his side was already empty.

Xie Lian staggered to his feet, walking around the Pu Qi Monastery in a daze. When he opened the door, he didn't see anyone outside. It seemed that it was true, that youth had already left.

However, the fallen leaves had already been swept into a pile and there was a small clay pot standing to the side. Xie Lian went out and carried the clay pot in and placed it on the offering table. At this moment, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something extra in his usually empty chest.

Xie Lian raised his hand to feel it and discovered that under the cursed shackles, there was actually an extra thin chain that was worn loosely.

Xie‌ ‌Lian‌ ‌immediately‌ ‌removed‌ ‌it‌ ‌from‌ ‌his‌ ‌neck.‌ ‌So‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌ ‌a‌ ‌silver‌ ‌chain,‌ ‌and‌ ‌since‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌‌thin‌ ‌and‌ ‌light,‌ ‌he‌ ‌didn't‌ ‌feel‌ ‌there‌ ‌was‌ ‌anything‌ ‌on‌ ‌his‌ ‌body‌ ‌before.‌ ‌And‌ ‌hanging‌ ‌from‌‌ the‌ ‌chain‌ ‌was‌ ‌a‌ ‌crystal‌ ‌clear‌ ‌ring.
