This girl is a streetwalker in the demon world
Chapter 222 Life and Loneliness
Two miles away from the fishing village, there is a beautiful goose yellow sea of flowers. It seems like a scene in a dream, making people wonder whether they are wandering in the arms of the dream sea of flowers, feeling the layers of soft petals like silk, spreading on the ground to form an unrestrained and beautiful picture.
When the wind blows, the sea of flowers sways slightly. The tender yellow flowers and the emerald green leaves overlap, merge, and then separate, dancing with the caress of the wind.
This is the situation when viewing from a distance. You have the same curiosity about beautiful things, so you take a closer look. The elegant floral scent mixed with the fragrance of the roots and the scent of the soil all rush into your nose. You are about to express your good wishes to the flowers, but suddenly you discover that the flowers that bring you endless imagination are just dandelions that can be seen everywhere in the countryside!
You looked down on it at first, because it was just a wild flower, and who would appreciate wild flowers? But soon, an extremely unusual beauty attracted your full attention and broke your prejudice. The dandelions grew wildly because no one was taking care of them, and their roots and stems were swaying in the wind. It was a vigorous upward momentum, a tenacity that remained tough despite thousands of blows, and an incomparable vitality. You finally felt the weight of life and beauty. At this moment, you just wanted to lie in this sea of wild flowers and let your thoughts fly.
In the middle of the sea of flowers, there are several uninvited guests standing. The wind blows the petals of the dandelions and also blows their robes. Their hair and robes are intertwined, and their veils and swords touch. Family, friendship, love... everything will be played out in this sea of dandelions.
……
"An Ling, are you really going? I always have a bad feeling." Yaxun, who was wrapped like a dumpling, shook the hat on her head and said worriedly. After a day and a night of getting along with An Ling, she felt deeply guilty towards An Ling, especially after hearing too many rumors about her in the past. When facing a "real person" who was sincere and kind and not happy with things or sad with herself, the comparison between the two made her admire her even more. At this moment, she was sincerely worried about An Ling's future and fate.
"Thank you for your concern. You must be careful too." An Ling smiled. Beside her stood Shao Shuang'er and Qishi who were reluctant to leave. An Ling was ready to set off for the imperial capital to meet the legendary "chess player". Of course, she definitely didn't want Shao Shuang'er to participate in such a dangerous matter, but there was no way. After all, it was on the way. Although Shao Shuang'er didn't get the longevity pill from the Xianmen Conference, An Ling's master Xie Kurong did. After Xie Kurong heard An Ling's euphemistic account of Shao Shuang'er's difficulties, he gave Shao Shuang'er a pill that could extend her life for twenty years without saying a word. This matter can be regarded as a beginning and an end. Xie Kurong needed to take Ji Shengchu to his secret base and hide him. In the case of unclear circumstances, Ji Shengchu must not be exposed to the world. And the location of the secret base was only known to him, and even An Ling could not tell it.
Shao Shuang'er took Yaxun's hand and advised: "No matter what happens, life is the most important." She glanced vaguely at Ji Shengchu who was squatting on the ground playing with crickets... Oh no, now she should call him Hu Zi.
"Oh, I'll be careful." As Shao Shuang'er's eyes were fixed on Ji Shengchu, Yaxun said excitedly, "By the way! You don't know, Hu Zi is very powerful, even I can't beat him."
Yaxun's words were somewhat evasive. Shao Shuang'er looked at Ji Shengchu, who had shaved his beard and looked as handsome as a young man in his early twenties, with a strange look. She grabbed Yaxun's arm and said sternly, "Yaxun, do you know who he is? He...he...Alas, I really don't want you to go down a path of no return."
"What do you mean?" Yaxun didn't understand what Shao Shuang'er was talking about.
Shao Shuang'er, who had already tasted the bitterness of lovesickness, just sighed when she heard this, and gently embraced her life-and-death friend who she had just met by chance, and whispered in her ear: "Never fall in love with a man whose past you don't know, otherwise, you will suffer."
Yaxun was shocked and lowered her head hastily. She was too guilty to look Shao Shuang'er in the eye. Her hands, hidden in her robe, were clenched into fists.
An Ling saw everything. She shook her head and smiled bitterly. The only suffering in the world is love. It is like an invisible knife that makes people grow old. I hope this simple and innocent barbarian girl can survive this disaster smoothly...
……
Before leaving, she walked to Xie Kurong who was standing alone in the distance, was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Master, I..."
Unexpectedly, Xie Kurong interrupted her first: "An Ling, you don't have to be cautious when facing me. I am your master and your relative. I will support you at any time. If you have something to do, even if it means going against the whole world, I will not hesitate for a moment."
An Ling opened her mouth but just smiled softly, and replied with deep emotion: "Master, if you hadn't left at that time, how great it would have been. This is what I have wanted to hear the most for countless days and nights. Haha, now I finally heard it, but I have also grown up."
"Do you blame us?" Xie Kurong's tone was filled with sadness. "We are your masters, but we missed all your growth. I didn't see you holding a sword for the first time, nor did I see you grow up to be as tenacious as a grass that can never be crushed. To be honest, I regret it now. The second time I saw you was when I realized that I was no longer your opponent."
"No, Master, as the saying goes, "Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise." Perhaps, that's why I have grown up to be what I am now." An Ling said with a smile.
Xie Kuorong was silent, but the reason for his silence was because of the proverb he had never heard before. Just as Qishi said, he was a wild poet with a high opinion of himself. Regarding his own blind spots in knowledge and the overwhelming strength of his apprentice, he deeply felt what it meant to be "old".
Xie Kurong sighed, "I feel relieved when you are here. I have nothing else to teach you, but remember one thing: protect yourself."
"I know." An Ling nodded seriously in response.
"Well," Xie Kurong looked at An Ling, whose face was young but seemed to contain infinite power, and smiled for the first time in his life. He reminded her, "When you arrive in the imperial capital, try not to associate with those dog officials of Bu Tiansi, and don't meddle in other people's business. Remember, you are very important. Oh, yes, I almost forgot to tell you that your second master, Liu Xiahui, is in the imperial capital now. If it is convenient, he would like to meet you."
"Second Master?" An Ling asked in surprise, "What happened? Why did the Second Master go back? And where is the First Master? Is she okay?"
“Alas…” Unexpectedly, Xie Kurong didn’t seem to want to talk about his two sworn friends. After hearing Yu Lang’s name, he felt a little depressed. He looked into the distance with his hands behind his back and said softly, “I don’t know. I’m afraid she doesn’t want me to know either.”
An Ling sensed something was wrong. The Three Immortals of the East China Sea used to be a group. No matter where they went, they always acted together. When she saw Xie Kuorong was alone, she had many ominous guesses. Unexpectedly, they actually came true. She asked with difficulty: "You..."
“Xiao Ling, you just need to know that from now on, there are no more Three Immortals of the East China Sea in the world. There are only the wanderer Xie Kurong, the Minister of the Great Xuan Army Liu Xiahui, and…” Xie Kurong said, “Seven Killing Sword Princess Yu Lang.”
"Seven Killers..." An Ling's alarm bells rang instantly, and she quickly asked, "Is it... the Seven Killers Sect?"
"Yes, since you want to know, I won't hide it from you." Xie Kurong was a straightforward and decisive person. He hated people who said half of the story, so he told An Ling everything. He continued, "Yu Lang left the sect to join the Futian Army and ventured into the martial arts world with us. After she felt the call of that person, she left us completely. Blind Liu also became normal because of the great stimulation. He said that he wanted to return to the imperial capital to settle past grudges, and then he left too."
"It's funny, isn't it? They all had places to go and things to do, but I was the only one left behind, trapped in a fantasy dream called 'Three Immortals of the East China Sea'. I have always been unwilling to admit this, unwilling to admit that I was the one who was left behind, until you said those words to Seventy, and then I finally woke up. It turns out that I am also a person with nowhere to go."
An Ling's nose felt sore and she wanted to cry, but she still forced a smile and said, "Master, don't say that. My seventieth uncle and I are by your side."
"It's actually no big deal. Maybe we are not on the same path," Xie Kurong said with emotion. "Life is a solitary road that cannot be returned. If you meet someone with a similar temperament on the road, you can walk together for a while. If you feel that it is not suitable, you can just go back to the time when you walked alone."
He turned around and looked at the dazzling sea of flowers in the distance that looked like golden dragon scales in the sunset, as well as the people in the sea of flowers. He whispered to An Ling, "Remember, when you are with the people you are close to, you must cherish the time, because one day, you will be separated from each other."
"It's time for us to set off."
……
An Ling watched Xie Kurong, Yaxun and Ji Shengchu, whose backs were left. As the sun set, their figures gradually became dim until they disappeared.
"Maybe this is life, breaking up and getting back together, but in the end, you still have to move forward alone."
