Chapter 189

Endless silence spreads in the night, and the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the forest sea is heard in the distance, hidden and distant, like an ancient whisper.

Jing Yingrong got up and walked to Yue Xiao's cheek, raising her hand to gently stroke the wet hair.

She looked forward and said softly:
"The moon has risen."

Yue Xiao opened his eyes.

It saw a perfect and flawless moon, and the cold and bright light occupied its field of vision, enveloped its body, and illuminated the entire isolated peak like frost and snow.

Yue Xiao stared blankly.

"It's so beautiful...just like in a dream, just like...when I was a child..."

It muttered dazedly.

"It's really, really good to see a moon like this at the end."

Amidst the faint sigh, its eyes softened little by little, and the amber pupils were sparkling, shining like stars.

I don't know what kind of thoughts it had, but Jing Yingrong saw that the light in its eyes was ignited by some kind of emotion, dancing hotly, like sparks struggling in the embers.

Yue Xiao raised his head with difficulty, and something appeared between his two front paws.

It pushed that thing in front of Jing Yingrong.

"Give it to you."

It was a fluffy thing, about the height of Jing Yingrong, silver-white.

——It’s a bit like Yue Xiao himself.

But fatter, rounder, lying on the stomach, with four short and fat legs spread out, with his head raised and his mouth grinning, showing half of his tongue, as if smiling, looking a little silly.

Jing Yingrong looked at it for a while.

The material for this gift is mainly Yue Xiao's hair, and the colored parts such as the eyes, tongue, and flesh pads should come from those feathers and scales.

She looked up at Yue Xiao and said, "Is it your 'secret'?"

Yue Xiao coughed dryly, trying to cover up something, and said, "Don't ask, just accept it."

Jing Yingrong nodded, touched the round head of the gift, and put it in the ring.

Yue Xiao looked at the sea crab who was following Jing Yingrong closely.

"Stupid," it said.

This time the sea crab didn't throw stones, but took a piece of the bait that Jing Yingrong gave it and put it next to Yue Xiao's claw.

A laugh escaped Yue Xiao's throat.

"It's good to be so smart all the time."

As if everything was finally done, Yue Xiao's expression became more relaxed.It retracted its gaze, gritted its teeth, and stood up trembling on its four legs.

Jing Yingrong: "Do you want to go?"

"Ah."

"Where to go?"

"Go where I came from."

Yue Xiao supported his body with all his strength, his head was raised high, facing the moon, and let out the loudest long whistle in his life:
"Ouch-"

The whistling sound seemed to pass through the desolate years, overlapping with immature calls.

Its haggard and dull hair glowed again at this moment, like a dream under the moonlight.

Yue Xiao ran up.

In the moonlight, there was another figure accompanying it in a trance.

The little figure stumbled and tried hard to chase the moon, but soon became exhausted and fell asleep.

Yue Xiao left the young figure behind.

Yueya, Zongmen, responsibility, joy, anger, sorrow and joy... were all left behind.

It ran faster and faster and flew higher and higher.

The body began to shatter and disintegrate from the end of the hair, turning into silvery fines, dragging out thousands of stardust in the night sky.

It is as if unaware.

The moon opened its arms to it, returning home like this.

In the end, it disappeared into the clear light.

Jing Yingrong stood quietly for a long time.

She looked at the bright full moon, but there was no light in her eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, she stretched out her palm and gave it a vacant touch.

The full moon is erased from the deep black base cloth.

In the night, there is only a thick cloud of darkness, blocking everything.

There is no star or moon tonight.

Jing Yingrong continued to stand still, her eyes darker than the night were filled with undercurrents.

Something was touching her leg, and when she looked down, it was a sea crab.

The crab's small eyes stared straight at her.

"I'm fine," she said.

The sea crab backed away.

Jing Yingrong took out the gift Yue Xiao gave her, the plush little wolf.

She sat down next to the little wolf, and there was a soft touch from her back, which almost made people sink into it.

Jing Yingrong turned sideways and hugged a short fat front paw into her arms, and just sat there in a daze.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Jishajian said: "Are you sad?"

Its untimely question aroused Jijie Pen's dissatisfaction: "You tell her to be quiet."

However, Jing Yingrong's response was calmer than they expected: "A little bit."

Jishajian: "You don't seem to have a little bit."

Jing Yingrong was silent for a while, and said, "I have other things in mind."

Jisha Sword: "What?"

Jing Yingrong said slowly: "It seems to me that I can only see others off forever."

In her deep eyes, Yue Xiao's back running towards the moon emerged, then turned into a cat rubbing its head against her palm, and finally a smiling face.

The almost infinite lifespan means that she can only watch those creatures that she knows or does not know, who is familiar or not, who she likes or dislikes, and walk towards death step by step.

The three spirits in the sea of ​​consciousness didn't seem to understand.

Ji Yanzhu asked puzzledly: "What's wrong? Aren't we always like this?"

As tool spirits, they have witnessed countless life and death, and will continue to witness in the future.

Jing Yingrong didn't answer, and there was deep bewilderment in her eyes.

Before you know it, dawn will break.

Jing Yingrong regained her wandering thoughts and notified Elder Chao.

Elder Chao came very quickly, not only him, but also other elders and deacons of Shanhaitang.

Xue Fei and the others are also here.

When seeing only Jing Yingrong and sea crabs on the isolated peak, both humans and monsters clearly recognized that fact.

"Old Yue, is it... gone?"

Xue Fei still didn't give up, and asked with the last glimmer of hope.

Jing Yingrong nodded slightly.

Tears welled up in Xue Fei's eyes.Hong Fei and Ye Yuan lowered their heads with mournful expressions.

Elder Chao sighed in disappointment.The expressions of those behind him were much more complicated.

"What did it tell you?" Elder Chao asked Jing Yingrong.

Jing Yingrong: "It expressed its gratitude to me."

Elder Chao was taken aback for a moment, then he understood, and said, "Yes, thanks to you being with him these days... But I still don't know why it lost its temper at that time."

Jing Yingrong looked at the rising sun leaping out of the clouds in the distance.

"It got lost."

"get lost?"

"Can't find my way home."

Elder Chao was confused, but Jing Yingrong had no intention of explaining, so he had no choice but to give up.

Because of the need to deal with the cave that Yue Xiao left behind, Elder Chao asked Xue Fei and the others to leave first, and then arrange tasks for the people who came with them.

Those people descended from the isolated peak, and the small voices of their discussions drifted into Jing Yingrong's ears with the wind.

"It's a pity that there is no body left."

"I also plan to get some blood back. Every time it provides the blood to the sect, it will be taken away by the Pill Pavilion. It's a rare opportunity, alas."

"I'm so pissed off, I didn't leave a single hair, but I thought I could get good things first when I followed."

"It's such a pity that the body of a tenth-level monster is wasted like this."

"You don't doubt that the disciple surnamed Jing kept it privately..."

……

The morning sun shines on Jing Yingrong.

Bright and cool.
