Chapter 188

At that moment, both the Three Demons and Elder Chao understood something at the same time.

Yue Xiao is very old.Its lifespan has long since come to an end, but it is still holding on to prevent people from seeing its weakness and aging.

It is like an old tree that is full of branches and leaves on the outside, but empty on the inside.

Now, the leaves have fallen.

One leaf knows autumn, and the tree can't survive the bleakness after all, and is about to usher in its own death.

It's not that difficult to accept, it's unexpected and reasonable, but no one knows what to say or what to do.

Finally, Elder Chao cupped his hands at Tian Zhong, and said to the three monsters, "Let's send it back."

Xue Feihongfei and Ye Yuan worked together to support Yue Xiao's huge body, and flew towards Yueya under the leadership of Elder Chao.

Jing Yingrong followed silently.

Yue Xiao slept deeply, until he was placed on the top of Gufeng Peak, and there was no sign of waking up.

Jing Yingrong guards it, and Hai Xie accompanies her.

As time passed day by day, Elder Chao would come over to take a look when he was free, while Xue Fei and the three of them took turns to wait with Jing Yingrong.

No one knows whether it will wake up or not. As far as the eyes can see, its fur is getting darker and drier day by day.

A few months passed in a flash.

On a certain rosy evening, Yue Xiao's eyelids moved.

It slowly opened its eyes.

Those animal pupils that were once cold and cold, now only left with deep tiredness.

On the dark background of the pupils, Jing Yingrong's figure was reflected, as if the moonlight was reflected in the deep pool.

Jing Yingrong: "You're awake."

Yue Xiao said in a deep and slow voice, "...um."

"Old Yue, you're awake! I'll call them!"

Xue Fei shouted happily.

Yue Xiao moved his eyes and looked at Xue Fei.

"Don't notify them."

"Old Yue?"

"Tell Chao Chen not to let anyone come over."

"But……"

"You go too."

"what?!"

Xue Fei said in disbelief, "Old Yue, do you know that you...how are you now?"

"I know," Yue Xiao's tone was unusually calm, "so no one should come."

Xue Fei pointed at Jing Yingrong with her wings: "What about her?"

Yue Xiao: "She stays, I have something to tell her."

"...Alright then." Xue Fei said reluctantly.It stared at Yue Xiao, hesitated to speak.

"Old Yue..."

As if something was stuck in her throat, Xue Fei was unable to say the following words.

It closed its eyes, lowered its head, and rubbed its head against Yue Xiao's neck vigorously.

There was a fleeting softness in Yue Xiao's eyes.

"I am leaving."

Xue Fei said, unfolding her snow-white wings and flying far away under the setting sun.

Yue Xiao watched Xue Fei gradually shrink into a point, and finally disappeared completely.

The evening wind is rustling, and the world is lonely.

Jing Yingrong said, "Aren't you saying goodbye to them?"

"No need," Yue Xiao said in a low voice, "I don't want them to see my last appearance."

Jing Yingrong nodded slightly.

"Mirror mirror."

This is the first time Yue Xiao called Jing Yingrong by his name since they met each other.

"Thank you." It lowered its voice and said.

"You're welcome," Jing Yingrong tilted her head, "It's my duty to take care of you."

"Wrong, I'm not thanking you for that."

Perhaps due to weakness, Yue Xiao shook his head slightly, "Thank you for making me feel equal."

Doubt appeared in Jing Yingrong's eyes: "Equality?"

"Yes, equality."

Yue Xiaoyu sighed, "The day you came, I realized that the way you look at me is the same as the way you look at Chao Chen."

"Not like the others."

"The way they look at me and Xue Fei is always different from the way they look at other disciples."

"But you are different."

"I can feel that in your eyes, we are the same existence."

Hearing this, Jing Yingrong slightly opened her lips and said, "So you said, they are disgusting."

Yue Xiao's tone was a little heavy: "Yes."

After a short pause, it said again: "No matter how long I have lived in the sect, how loyal I am to the sect, and how many things I have done for the sect, they will never treat me as the same kind, and will not treat me like ordinary people. .”

"Even though they respected me, feared me, and never treated me badly, it was always based on 'a useful monster'."

Jing Yingrong was silent for a long time, and said: "Human cultivators and monsters, the two sides are generally hostile."

"I understand, I understand... I think they are disgusting, but I don't hate, I don't hate anyone, I just... sad."

Yue Xiao's voice dropped, a little hoarse.

It stared at the ray of sunlight lingering on the edge of the sea of ​​clouds.

"Back then, my cultivation reached the peak of the tenth level, and I was only one step away from stepping into the realm of the beast emperor. But this step, I spent countless years, but I couldn't take it."

"I thought I was looking in the wrong direction, or I didn't do enough. I have never given up. I want to be the first monster in my sect to be promoted to the Beast Emperor. In that case, everyone will be very happy and respect me proud."

"But slowly, I witnessed one after another tenth-level monsters in the gate grow old and die. Among them, there are many who are better and stronger than me."

"I don't know when, I have doubts in my heart."

"Maybe I've lived so long that I accidentally learned things I shouldn't know."

Yue Xiao paused for a moment, his eyes became gloomy.

"Absolute Beginning Guan will not allow the Beast Emperor to appear under the door."

"Every monster with profound potential will have its profound orifice sealed when its memory is vague."

"They have already blocked the way for the monsters under the gate to lead to the Beast Emperor."

Jing Yingrong stared at it: "Even so, you don't hate it, why?"

Yue Xiao was silent for a few breaths, and said: "At that time, I was also angry and unwilling. But after I calmed down, I understood."

"Human cultivators and monsters have a deep hatred, and our sect stepped on the bones of countless monsters to step up to the position of the first sect. Under this background, if a beast emperor is raised under the sect, the beast emperor will turn against him again." If the monster becomes an undercover agent lurking in our sect, it will cause immeasurable damage to our sect. Therefore, from the perspective of the entire sect, it is a very reasonable choice to avoid the appearance of the beast emperor."

"Thinking about this, I admit it..."

Speaking of this, there was a trace of hesitation in Yue Xiao's tone.

"...I thought I really admitted it, but when I realized that my time was running out, the unwillingness came out again."

"In particular, I have become more and more aware that to my sect, I will always be a foreigner, a heterogeneous species. I can't change this until I die."

"So I couldn't help losing my temper, and couldn't help teasing them. I hope that I can take revenge once, so that maybe I won't be so sad. But I can't, because I don't blame them after all..."

"So I'm still sad, very... sad."

Yue Xiao closed his eyes, the clear liquid wet his hair.

"I regard this place as my home, but this place has never really accepted me."
