This is a completely different version of the legend that is circulating in the town. It is the other side of the noble and brave girl who sacrificed herself for this land, as passed down by word of mouth.

Xia Zhi didn't say anything, but just listened quietly to the girl telling him her inner thoughts under the moonlight, which she might never have told anyone before.

"I chose to escape and trample on my parents' wishes, just to keep myself alive when I was about to die... I was just an unfilial daughter and a coward."

The girl lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly.

"No death, no illness, this is our original wish... But now it seems to be a punishment for us."

Parents and brothers grew old, got sick and died in front of me, and people I knew left me. And the next generation was like a replay, repeating the cycle of life over and over again in front of me.

More than 500 years have passed quietly.

In her eyes, everything was like a kaleidoscope of events. She had experienced so much, yet it seemed to have passed in a flash.

No one can see it, no one can touch it, no one can communicate with it, and no one can tell it all.

There were so many nights when she stood alone under the moon. The moonlight could not illuminate her figure, let alone leave her shadow. She could only cry quietly, blaming herself for her unfilial behavior and expressing her loneliness.

In the end, she chose to hide her feelings and gradually got used to it all.

This is how Cong Yu came into being today.

However, only when you experience it will you be afraid.

She no longer wanted to experience the feeling of gradually giving up everything and closing her heart again.

As she was thinking this, she suddenly felt a warm touch on her head.

"There's no need to get used to that kind of thing, right?" Xia Zhi said, "If you really hate it, can't you just not face it?"

Cong Yu shook his head, his expression dimmed, he looked away and said softly:

"Master, you also know that Cong Yuwan and my mission is to protect this land from the invasion of the evil spirit."

"Yeah." Xia Zhi didn't say anything else, just nodded slightly.

"The evil god has disappeared, the curse has subsided, and this land has ushered in the long-lost peace. ......."

"Ah."

"That means my mission has come to an end."

"Ah."

If it were in the past, the girl would definitely complain unhappily, "Master, is all you can say um?" But now she is not in that mood.

In other words, she was so immersed in her own emotions that she didn't notice these insignificant flaws.

"We will eventually leave our master..."

"If, I'm not used to all this...Ah!"

She covered her head, raised her head angrily and looked at the boy, her eyes seemed to say "what are you doing?"

"So I said, it's okay not to get used to that kind of thing."

Xia Zhi looked into her eyes and said seriously, "Because I will never let you go no matter what."

"...Eh?" Cong Yu kept covering his forehead with his hands, standing there with his eyes slightly wide open.

"Have you forgotten? It wasn't Cong Yu Wan who chose me, but I pulled it out by force."

Xia Zhi ignored the girl's stunned expression and continued, "In other words, I chose you, Cong Yu."

“So, Cong Yuwan’s mission and so on have nothing to do with me.

On the contrary, although your mission in this land has ended, your mission as 'Cong Yu' has not yet ended."

He looked into the girl's eyes and continued, "I will live a long time, much longer than you think."

"On the contrary, you have to get used to living by my side."

"so……"

As Xia Zhi spoke, he leaned forward, gently hugged the girl, stroked her soft emerald green hair, and whispered in her ear:

"...Just leave your future to me, 3.2."

"I won't leave you alone again."

Cong Yu pursed her lips, and the light in her eyes trembled slightly.

It's this warmth.

During the long years of coldness and loneliness, she met the only boy who could touch her and make her feel the warmth of human beings again.

Therefore, she began to crave for this warmth.

We who have nothing yet hope to possess all this, aren't we too greedy and selfish?

She thought so in her heart.

"so……"

Xia Zhi took a deep breath, lowered his head and looked into her eyes, and said softly:

"Please, be my Cong Yu."

"……Um."

Listening to the boy's words, Cong Yu took a deep breath and finally smiled. She nodded gently, and also reached out to hug the boy's body, resting her head on his chest, closing her eyes and whispering:

"I really can't help you, Master."

.......

Chapter 699: Ghosts Can Get Jealous Too

That night... uh, or rather, that early morning, Xia Zhi slept very late.

Because Xia Zhi anticipated that when she woke up the next morning to find that the person she was holding was not "her brother" but "that woman", she would definitely make a fuss, and in order to get a good night's sleep, he would definitely not go back to his room.

Fortunately, Xia Zhi, who originally slept with Hubie, sneaked to his own room, leaving a vacant space there. Xia Zhi also took the opportunity to sneak over and successfully completed a wave of personnel replacement.

Hubie naturally didn't mind his arrival at all, but she seemed to have misunderstood him a little. If Xia Zhi hadn't stopped him in time, she probably wouldn't have been able to sleep well this morning.

After that, with a top-notch pillow like Huby, Xia Zhi naturally slept very comfortably.

until……

"Wake up, Master~"

Xia Zhi felt like his abdomen was attacked.

He opened his eyes and saw a girl with long emerald green hair sitting on him, looking down at him with her head down.

“… Doesn’t this already fall into the category of sneak attack?”

18 He wanted to rub his stomach to relieve the pain caused by the impact, but then he found that the girl's butt was sitting on that place, so he gave up the idea temporarily.

"Didn't the master himself say that I should call you at this time?" Cong Yu tilted her head slightly, and the hair hanging beside her face swayed gently with her movements, making her look particularly cute at this moment.

"I also said that if I haven't woken up by then, I should delay it for fifteen minutes, right?" Xia Zhi said.

"Thirds of a time will not work. I have already been delayed for three fifteen-minute periods."

Where does this setting come from?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, shook his head, looked at her and said:

"If nothing else, could you change the way you wake me up next time?"

"dislike?"

"No one usually likes it, right?"

Uh, but... maybe?

Feeling the softness of the girl sitting on his body, Xia Zhi thought to himself hesitantly.

"Guss..."

The girl let out a sobbing sound that was obviously fake, lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with her little hands, pretending to sob and said:

"I just decided to give myself completely to the master, but I was abandoned by the master... wuwu..."

It makes me sound like I was abandoned after having fun with someone.

Besides, I'm not saying I don't like you.

Xia Zhi complained in his heart and sat up from the bed.

Cong Yu, who was sitting on him, let out a short cry and fell backwards. Fortunately, she floated up in time and did not fall on the bed.

"Where's Hubie?"

Looking around, he didn't see the pillow...Hubby's figure, so Xia Zhi looked at the girl in front of him and asked.

"I went out with sister Xia Zhi and the others."

Cong Yu replied.

"Because Sister Xia Zhi said that the food outside is expensive and not tasty, I confirmed with the boss that I could use the kitchen this morning, and then went out to buy ingredients... I also specially stopped Sister Xia Zhi from disturbing your sleep."

"Oh..." Xia Zhi nodded.

In this regard, he felt that he was not as good as Xia Zhi.

If it were him, it would be basically impossible for him to cook when he could order takeout, right?

"But if you didn't follow them, what would happen if they were in danger?" Xia Zhi thought for a moment and continued to ask.

"That's why I said that everyone here is very nice and they wouldn't do that kind of thing!"

Cong Yu puffed up her cheeks slightly and said dissatisfiedly.

"Besides, didn't Hubie follow them?"

That's indeed no problem.

After touching Cong Yu's head and calming her down, Xia Zhi yawned, opened the door and walked out.

Before Xia Zhi and the others came back, he planned to go to a hot spring to relax... When he wanted to take a bath last night, he was interrupted by a ghost girl.

Thinking this way, Xia Zhi came to the hot spring bath of the hotel according to his memory of the last time he came here, lifted the curtain at the door and walked in.

Then, looking at the gray-haired girl who had occupied the hot spring, he was slightly stunned.

"…Sorry to bother you."

Before Irena could react, Xia Zhi left the bathroom decisively after leaving these words.

Staring blankly at the place where the boy disappeared, Irena's face immediately flushed as if she had finally realized what had happened.

……

"Owner……"

A sad voice came to my ears

"Hmm?" Xia Zhi answered absentmindedly.

"You took advantage of me."

Well this...

"Actually, it was all blocked by the water vapor. I couldn't see anything." Xia Zhi said after thinking for a while.

"Do you think we would believe that kind of nonsense?" Cong Yu complained... Although she didn't seem to see it clearly, that was because most of her 360% attention was on the boy, right?

"You didn't tell me that Irena didn't go with them?" Xia Zhi continued.

"Master, do you mean that it is all our responsibility for not seeing the sign clearly?" The girl said unhappily, crossing her arms over her chest.

Not all of them...

Saying

Xia Zhi looked at her suspiciously: "Are you in a bad mood today?"

Remember the Cong Yu in the past, who wouldn’t care too much when encountering such a situation, and might even have made fun of them, right?

"No!" Cong Yu snorted and turned his head to answer.
