Douluo: After transforming into a soul beast, I will roll inward to save my life

Chapter 440 Nanli: Image Shattered

On the only green paulownia tree on Yori Island, there was a woman dressed in black lying.

After Lingguang left, Dongyun searched almost the entire Day Island. But she didn't find Qingwu, and her last hope was shattered.

Qingwu died in a self-explosion and could not be resurrected.

Patriarch Dongyang is back, Senior Nanxi is back, Donghan is back, but mother... will never come back.

……

The sun shines through the clouds and gently falls on the Sun Island. The golden light is intertwined with the chirping of birds, and the whole island is filled with the breath of new life.

Father and mother were holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes. Nan Li turned around and found that Dong Yun was gone. Her body was still recuperating and she could not use her mental power to detect Dong Yun's location for the time being. However, Nan Li still ran to a place without hesitation.

Nan Li ran quickly to the place where Qing Wu fell. She felt that Dong Yun must be there.

Nan Li ran in front with big strides, a group of flame-feathered sparrows chased her and chirped loudly. Everywhere she ran, there were familiar yet unfamiliar figures, and everywhere there was the joy of reunion after a long separation.

Warmth, reunion, laughter, all of these seemed to isolate Dong Yun. She lay on the sycamore tree irrigated by her mother's blood after her death, just like she was in her mother's arms.

The branches and leaves of the paulownia tree are particularly lush and verdant, swaying gently in the wind. If you say they are like a mother's warm and soft feathers, they are, but a little colder.

"Yangyang! Give me a hand."

Dong Yun stood up when she heard the sound. She saw Nan Li holding onto the tree trunk and gasping for breath. She quickly left the branch and jumped back to the ground.

When Nan Li saw her coming down, he confidently reached out his hand and said, "Why are you coming down? I want to go up!"

Dong Yun always responded to requests and took Nan Li up with a good temper. After making sure that Nan Li was sitting firmly near the trunk, she sat down on the same branch.

Nan Li lay on Dong Yun's lap with a carefree look on her face. Without waiting for Dong Yun to speak, she said, "Yang Yang, do you know why Fu Guang gave me a pair of arm soul bones?"

In front of Jialing Pass, Dong Yun noticed that something was wrong with Nan Li, but she didn't have time to ask at that time. Now that the matter has been resolved and Nan Li's condition has recovered a lot, Dong Yun asked: "What did she do to you?"

Nan Li was waiting for this sentence. As soon as Dong Yun asked her, she started to complain: "I was sealed in a tree trunk by Fu Guang for 900 days. It was pitch black and there was nothing. The wet wood pierced into my body to drain my spiritual power. I also empathized with Fu Guang like a tree. She also infused me with her memories after she came to the Douluo World!"

Dong Yun's heart tightened when she heard this and she tried to get up, but Nan Li was pressing on her legs, not letting her move at all.

Nan Li stretched out a claw, signaling Dong Yun not to rush, "Yang Yang, in those memories, I saw Fu Guang leave the mother tree and take root in the magma for millions of years. Because of a promise, she gave everything she had. The magma that eroded her roots all the time, the lava that tortured her all the time, she stood there and watched the sea and mulberry fields change for millions of years."

"Hongyun and the others returned to Blue Star, and most of the three tribesmen were resurrected. As long as they cultivate their spiritual power, the little ones in the tribe can transform into human form like the alien beasts on Blue Star... But Fuguang can't leave. Her body is connected to the ground veins of Douluo World. The Fusang tree can only grow forever in the Daytime Mountain."

"I don't blame Fu Guang, not because she gave me the soul bone, but because I understand her pain."

"You were so nervous just now because of the pain I endured."

"You told me that it is difficult to have both good and bad things in the world, and it is difficult for the world to be perfect. There are always some mistakes in this world, and most people have sufferings that they cannot express in words."

"But suffering should not be compared. Fu Guang's suffering cannot cover up my suffering, and my suffering cannot bury your suffering."

"You are always like this. You are obviously in great pain yourself, but when you see others in pain, you forget about your own pain. You are busy comforting others but forget about yourself."

"Danqing is right. The wound in your heart has never healed. It will fester again every night when you can't sleep. You should look at your wounds and let go of the past."

Dong Yun always puts the blame on herself. When her tribe members died or were injured, she blamed herself for not being strong enough. When her mother passed away, she blamed herself for being careless. When Nan Li was injured, she blamed herself for not protecting her sister... In fact, she was not the culprit behind all this.

"A-Li, I understand the truth." Dong Yun held back tears and said softly, "Sometimes I wonder if I can feel at ease if I kill all my enemies. The answer is no. Even if I kill everyone in the Spirit Hall, time cannot be reversed."

"After Lord Lingguang left, everyone on Sun Island was happy. Ah Li, you see many people have returned, including my relatives, but I am not very happy. Not only because my mother did not come back, but more because I still cannot forgive myself for what I did in the past."

"Let it go. Everything is over. I can't do it. I can't let it go. I can't forget it. The past is engraved in my heart. I dig it out to warn myself when I make every decision. How can I write off those tragedies of blazing fire and rivers of blood so easily?"

Dong Yun was still blaming herself. No matter how many times Nan Li told her or how many times they argued, she could not change this habit.

Be lenient to others and strict with yourself.

She was very tolerant and even indulgent towards Nan Li, but she was very strict with herself.

Nan Li changed his train of thought and asked, "Then why didn't you kill Qian Renxue?"

Dong Yun answered without hesitation: "Those things were not done by her. They have nothing to do with her."

"It was not you who killed Aunt Qingwu, and this responsibility has nothing to do with you." Nan Li sat up straight, pointed at the shadows left by the grass and trees on the ground, and said to Dong Yun, "When people walk towards the sun, there will be a shadow behind them, and that part is also you."

“Not forgetting the past does not mean you have to face the shadow all the time. The shadow remains on the road you have walked, and you have to walk towards the sunshine.”

Nan Li blinked and smiled, "If you don't know how to get out, I'm still here. I'm a kind, thoughtful, steady and reliable sister who will definitely protect my smart, kind, tough and strong sister."

Dong Yun was amused by her and asked, "You protected me? Are you sure you didn't say the opposite?"

Dongyun was referring to the series of adjectives that came out of Nanli's mouth, saying that her sister was strong and that she wanted to protect her sister. Nanli said as a matter of course: "Oh, these descriptions can't be applied to anyone. Dad always said that people resemble the person they were raised by, and he said that I resemble you, and we look alike."

Dong Yun asked with a smile: "You look like me, are you wronged?"

Nan Li also smiled: "Sister, you are beautiful. I am naturally grateful to be able to look like you."

"It's not like me to be such a chatterbox."

"I have been with you since I was born, I can't deny it!"

The sunlight and the red eyes complement each other, bright, beautiful and dazzling.

Nan Li said to Dong Yun seriously: "You protected me in the past, and now it's my turn to protect you. No matter how powerful you become, no matter how superior your status is, as long as you are you, I will always protect you."

Anyone would be touched by these words, but Dong Yun always had concerns. She asked: "What if I accidentally do something wrong in the future and go against my original intention..."

Nan Li's expression clearly said "Don't I know you?" She said in a joking tone: "You, you still want to push me away, who are you going to cry to if I'm not here?"

Dongyun: "..."

Nan Li is used to playing rogue, "Don't even think about it, I not only have legs, but also wings, you can't get rid of me. Even if you bring a partner back, you can't compete with me for favor."

Dong Yun held his forehead helplessly.

"Dabao, Xiaobao." Chi Feng's voice came from the Chiyang River. Nanli and Dongyun were suddenly startled and their faces became a little stiff.

Nanli: The past is too painful to recall.

Dong Yun: There is no need to talk about the past again.

Chi Feng raised her hand and motioned for the two to look at the woman following behind her, "I'm here to find you."

The fog surrounding the Sun Island has not yet dissipated, and only a few people know the exact location of the Sun Island.

Qian Renxue was wearing a golden palace dress, and her star-like purple eyes looked gentler than usual. Today, she was no longer the noble and majestic young angel, but a friend who came to visit a friend.

Chi Feng brought the person over, waved to the two of them, and turned to leave.

Qian Renxue walked under the sycamore tree with her hands behind her back, and said with a teasing smile: "Dabao, Xiaobao, is she calling you?"

Nanli and Dongyun: Although it is true, we don’t want to admit it.

Nan Li put his index finger to his lips, signaling Qian Renxue not to talk about this topic anymore.

Qian Renxue teased her deliberately, "What's wrong, Xiaobao?"

"Shh! Stop talking, you didn't hear anything!" Nan Li momentarily forgot about his physical condition and tried to jump down to cover Qian Renxue's mouth.

When the whole person was suspended in the air, Nan Li reacted belatedly: Hey, something seems to be wrong.

The geographical environment of Day Island is unique. This tree has been growing for more than 40 years. Even though it is not considered tall in the sycamore forest, it is still 30 to 40 meters tall. Nan Li was sitting at least 20 meters above the ground. She dared to jump down cleanly, but the other two were startled.

"Ali!"

"careful!"

Dong Yun subconsciously grabbed Nan Li's clothes and hung upside down on the tree, just hooking his legs on the branches.

Qian Renxue took a few steps forward to pick someone up, but she didn't expect Dong Yun to be so quick.

Nan Li's body was suspended in the air, and although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually screaming like a groundhog in his heart: How could this happen? Ah! I might as well let me fall! Anyway, I won't die from the fall, which is better than adding another glorious deed!
Nan Li grabbed Dong Yun's hand and tried to climb up like she did before, but her body was too weak and she failed. She looked at Dong Yun, then at Qian Renxue at her feet, like a salted fish that had given up struggling, and let Dong Yun pull her back.

The two returned to the ground, and Nan Li coughed lightly a few times, trying to save his image.

Qian Renxue and Dong Yun smiled at each other, and their eyes said: That's enough, our image has been shattered to pieces.

"Your Majesty Ming Yan, I know there were many misunderstandings in the past, but I didn't expect... today I really look at you in a new light." Qian Renxue said with a smile.

Dong Yun smiled, but said in a quiet tone: "Who said he would protect me just now?"

"This was an accident! That wasn't me! That wasn't my true level!" Nan Li tried to cover up, no, explain.

Qian Renxue looked around and said in a tone of sudden enlightenment: "Oh, it turns out there is a fourth person nearby."

Dong Yun also said in the same tone: "Then the person who was hanging in the air just now, unable to go up or down, was me?"

Nan Li was furious: "You two go over there!"
