Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 799 Xiao Lei's Obsession

Kong Zhe frowned and stared at the girl's face.

Although it wasn't Xiaolei, the girl in front of him gave him a faint sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before...

"Are you...Xiao Zuo? Ah Wu's sister?"

Kong Zhe said the name with some uncertainty.

He finally remembered where he had seen her before, it was at Wu's home.On the photo of the family of three.

This girl is very similar to the daughter in the photo.

However, that photo was from a long time ago, and the two children on it were still very young.But the girl in front of her is more like that child when she grows up.

"Yes, it's me."

Xiaozao nodded dully.

She's still a little confused about the situation.

When she was at the wedding during the day, she was almost desperate when she saw the enemy's manpower on the scene.

Under the circumstances at that time, the strengths of the two parties were too disparate. If Fox God Palace continued to make moves as planned, even if they could get the Green Bamboo Flute, it would definitely result in a loss for both sides.

And the subsequent results also confirmed her guess, the sisters of the Fox God Palace did not do anything.

This is actually part of their previous plan. If the situation of the day does not allow, they can only postpone the action as a last resort.

But in this way, it means that the miko who was selected to participate in the first wedding will be given up for the sake of the overall situation.

The premise of all their actions is not to let the other party get the power of the fox god, so Xiaozao was already mentally prepared at that time. When she said I would like it at the wedding, it was the time when she made up her mind to die.

She has already decided that if she can't kill her 'husband' tonight, then she can only commit suicide, so as to prevent the power of the fox god from leaking out.

Of course, in fact, the safer approach is to commit suicide directly when no one is around.But people cherish their lives after all, even Xiao Zuo couldn't help fantasizing about it, what if, what if the assassination was successful, so she wouldn't have to die.

It's a pity that it turned out that she was overthinking. She underestimated the opponent's strength too much. As a result, she had been preparing for a long time and tried her best to strike, but was so easily caught by the opponent.

At that time Xiaozao's heart was suddenly icy cold.Judging from the strength shown by the other party, I'm afraid she can't even commit suicide.

However, what she didn't expect was that things turned around afterwards.

The person in front of him suddenly changed his appearance, and from his reaction, it seemed that he was not their enemy.

"Are you...'Brother Kong Zhe'?"

Looking at the slightly anxious expression of the person in front of him, such a name suddenly popped up in Xiao Zuo's heart.

This is what Xiaolei calls her lover.

These days I always stay with Xiaolei, and this name is what I hear her repeat the most.

It has been a long time, and this name has penetrated into her heart unknowingly. Before Xiaozao, she had been looking forward to when she could meet this man, and to see what kind of man he was, so that she could fascinate the silly Xiaolei. into this.

Now, she finally saw it.

The man in front of him still looked very young, maybe not much older than her, but his delicate face was faintly resolute, as if he had experienced strong winds and waves.What is more obvious is his eyes.

Xiaozao understood at a glance, it was a look of enduring inner worry.And the person who worried him so much was naturally Xiaolei.Only Xiaolei.

Xiaozao seemed to understand why Xiaolei fell in love with this person.

Hearing the address in her mouth, Kong Zhe froze for a moment, then nodded.

Xiaolei has always called him that, it seems that she does know Xiaolei.

"What's going on? Why are you here? What about Xiaolei?"

Shaking his head, Kong Zhe hurriedly asked.In any case, let's figure out what's going on now.

"Xiao Lei, she..."

Xiaozao hesitated for a moment, but since it was this person, there seemed to be nothing to hide.Xiaozao decided to tell him the truth.

"actually……"

……

Time back to two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Xiao Lei, are you ready?"

In the room specially set up for the envoys of the Fox God in the temple, Xiaozuo looked at the girl in front of her, sighed slightly, and asked softly.

In front of her, Xiaolei had already changed into the wedding dress of the fox tribe, and she was standing in front of the mirror, staring blankly at herself in the mirror.

Xiao Zuo looked up at the time, it was already 10:[-], and there were still [-] minutes before the wedding would begin.

Xiaolei stood in front of the mirror, but kept silent.In this regard, Xiaozao didn't know what to say.

From the standpoint of the Fox God Palace, it is actually a good thing that this girl was chosen as the bride, because the five trained people can be completely freed up, and the chances of seizing the Green Bamboo Flute will naturally be greater.

Moreover, because Xiaolei has been the envoy of the fox god for the shortest time, once things go to the worst direction, the power of the fox god that the temple can obtain from her is actually very little, or even negligible.Therefore, it is in the most favorable situation for Fox God Palace that this girl is chosen as the bride.

But from the standpoint of a friend, she also understands that this is unfair. Xiaolei was always an outsider, but she was pulled in by them by accident. Dangerous errand.

Besides, Xiaolei is too simple, and she has not experienced any training herself. Once she falls into the hands of the temple, it is much more difficult to rescue her than other people.From the standpoint of a sister, she was naturally unwilling to let Xiaolei take this risk.

Therefore, Xiaozao has actually made up her mind before, that she will always follow Xiaolei at the upcoming Scarlet Wedding, and protect her even if she sacrifices her life.

"Do not……"

Just as she was thinking, Xiaolei suddenly spoke, and Xiaozao hadn't recovered yet.

"why no?"

"That's not right..."

Xiaolei stared blankly at herself in the mirror, muttering in her mouth.

"Xiao Lei..."

Seeing her dazed look, Xiaozao thought she was afraid of the next danger.

"Don't worry, Xiaolei, I will attend as your bridesmaid later. I promise, no matter what happens, as long as I am still alive, I will not let you suffer any harm..."

Xiaozao shook her head, and in the end she could only make such a promise.

"No!"

Xiao Lei suddenly turned her head, grabbed Xiao Zuo's shoulder, and shook her head desperately.

"It doesn't matter anymore. But, but..."

"Hey?"

Xiaozao froze for a moment, unable to understand what she meant.

No, it means...

"I'm already engaged to Brother Kong Zhe. I decided a long time ago that I must be the first to show him my wedding dress!"

Xiaolei raised her head, two lines of tears hung on her face, but a smile gradually bloomed at the corner of her mouth.

This is not the first time Xiaozao has seen this tearful and smiling appearance.

"So, sorry, Xiaozao..."

"—I can't participate in this wedding anyway, I don't want to be this bride..."

After Xiaolei finished speaking, she began to slowly undo the wedding dress on her body.Although she was still as clumsy as ever, she did not hesitate in her movements.

Xiao Zuo stared blankly at Xiao Lei who was busy taking off her wedding dress, and suddenly felt a touch in her heart.

This girl who seems to never reject others, and can only be taken away by others, is so straightforward when she really rejects others, and won't even give others a chance to persuade her.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Xiaozao..."

Xiaolei noticed the disappointed look on Xiaozao's face, and felt guilty for a moment.

She knew that her actions would probably plunge everyone in the Fox God Palace, including herself, into a greater crisis.

But no matter what, she couldn't take back what she said just now, because this was her bottom line, it didn't concern the overall situation, any gain or loss, it was just because she didn't want to break her promise to Kong Zhe in her heart.

She may always be in a daze at ordinary times, but she is extremely persistent when it comes to certain big issues.

Xiaolei couldn't express her apology, so she couldn't stop bowing her head to apologize to Xiaozao.

"I'm sorry, I, I..."

If possible, she would like to be able to transfer other people's dangers to her, but if she has to be dealt with by marrying someone else, she can't accept it.

"There's no need to do this, Xiaolei..."

"Hey?"

Xiaolei raised her head in surprise, but in front of her, Xiaozao suddenly showed her a smile, and came over to help her take off her wedding dress.

"Fool, look at your clumsy hands, you can't take off the maiden uniform like this, it will only get tighter and tighter..."

Xiaolei blushed immediately. She had only worn this kind of clothes twice, and both times were helped by others. Now she didn't even know the structure of the clothes.

Xiaolei raised her head cautiously, secretly glanced at Xiaozao's face, fiddled with her fingers, and said in a low voice: "Xiaozao, you, don't you blame me..."

"Strange! Of course I blame you!"

Xiaozao glared at her unceremoniously, Xiaolei immediately lowered her head guilty.

"However, I'm strange that you didn't tell me your thoughts earlier. Since you hate weddings so much, why do you keep it in your heart? Really, it made us all become bad guys..."

"Ah? Yes, is that so..."

Xiaolei scratched her head foolishly, did she actually care about this kind of place?

"But, but, I..."

Xiaolei stuttered a bit and didn't know how to describe it.She wanted to ask herself if being so willful had put them all in danger, but in fact, this was an obvious fact, so there was no need to ask.

"Don't worry, Xiaolei, no one will blame you..."

Xiaozao seemed to understand what she meant immediately.Smiling and patted her shoulder.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, but we have always been too selfish. We only cared about the overall situation, but never considered your feelings..."

Xiaozao shook her head in relief: "I'm sorry, Xiaolei. This time it's my fault."
