Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Sisi waited for a while, but when Xuanying didn't answer, she started talking to herself: "Once upon a time, there was a little girl who grew up in the deep mountains. She had no father or mother since she was a child, so naturally she didn't know what father and mother were or what they looked like. But she was still young at that time, so she didn't feel sad, because she had other good friends in the mountains, like little rabbits, little deer, little squirrels... many, many. She just played with them every day, and slowly grew up from a little girl to a big girl."

"One day, she followed an old man who went into the mountains to collect herbs and came to the city. That's when she saw many people who looked similar to her. Among them were old people and children, men and women, as well as young men and girls. Some looked kind, while others looked fierce and scary. The old man who brought her into the city died within a few days. She was so scared that she had to wander around the city."

"But she couldn't speak at that time, and she didn't know the customs of the city people. When she was hungry, she would eat other people's food. When she was cold, she would steal other people's clothes to wear... She got into a lot of trouble."

"These people found that she was very dirty and ugly. Every time they saw her coming, they would either drive her away fiercely or stay away from her. Some of the worse ones would hit her with sticks, pick up stones and throw them at her, or even let dogs bite her..."

"But she is still a child. She doesn't know that it is wrong to take other people's things casually, and she doesn't know that taking things when others are not paying attention is called stealing, because no one has taught her these things. After being scolded and beaten, she can only find a small corner to hide and cry secretly, and no one comes to comfort her. She is very scared, afraid of others getting close to her, and even trembles when she hears others talking, always thinking that others will scold her and beat her."

"Later, she grew up and learned how to speak. She learned the many rules of the city and how to deal with all kinds of people. But in such a big city with so many people, she never met anyone who treated her well, cared about her or pitied her. But she was no longer afraid because she had developed her skills. She no longer needed to beg for food in front of others. She could eat whatever she wanted and get whatever she wanted. No one could bully her anymore."

"But even though she grew up, she was still very ugly. At night, she was even more afraid of being seen. Many years passed, and she was always alone. Sometimes she thought, if there was someone who could think of him and miss her, even if it was only a little bit, that would be great... But she just couldn't find him, she never could... She always wondered why the gods didn't give her a little warmth, why they were so unfair to her, why they arranged such a fate for her, was it just because she was ugly..."

As Sisi continued her story, her eyes were filled with tears, which then rolled down her fair cheeks.

This story had no beginning or end, was bland and not really exciting. Xuanying listened to it patiently and asked, "Are you talking about yourself?"

Sisi wiped her tears and said, "No, it's just a story. It has nothing to do with me."

Xuanying thought, "The woman she was talking about was ugly, but I am extremely beautiful, so she is definitely not the one she was talking about. But why did she tell such a strange story?" Seeing that she was a little sad, he said, "It is better to have no father or mother since childhood than to watch my parents being killed."

Sisi forced a smile and said, "Indeed, I'm afraid few people can endure that kind of pain." She changed the subject and asked, "Are you really not going to eat with me?"

Xuanying said, "I'm not hungry yet."

Sisi ate a few more bites, then stopped eating and suddenly asked, "Do you really hate me?"

Xuanying was stunned, thinking, when did I hate you? Then he shook his head.

Sisi seemed very happy and said, "Yesterday you told me to be careful, and today you were worried that I might get the frost disease. I knew you cared about me to some extent."

Xuanying did not answer.

Sisi added, "I used to think that if a person really hated another person, he would not talk to him much and would stay away from him. Now I know that it is not necessarily the case. For example, you are just a quiet person."

Xuanying said, "This kind of person is very annoying."

Sisi said, "But I like it. I've seen a lot of people who can talk, but few of them are good."

Xuanying thought to herself, what does being talkative have to do with being a good or bad person? This is pure nonsense.

"Actually, I don't like talking either. Often I can't say a word to anyone for days. I'm used to it." Sisi said.

"Is it?"

"Don't look at me talking a lot now. I'm not like this usually. It depends on who I'm with..." Sisi looked indifferent, as if she was revealing her feelings again.

Xuan Ying naturally heard it, and a voice in his heart immediately shouted: "Xuan Ying! Don't forget the blood feud of your parents and sister, and the great hatred of the extermination of the Xuan clan! This woman's origins are unknown, and her motives are unclear. Don't get entangled with her too much!"

Xuanying calmed down, changed the subject, and asked, "Did you ask Granny Ma for me? What did she say?"

Sisi seemed to wake up from a dream and said, "Grandma Ma? No, I forgot to ask."

Xuanying said, "Why don't you take me to find her, and I'll ask her for advice in person."

Sisi said, "That... that's not possible... there are so many soldiers outside, we can't get out."

"Go at night. You are so good that they won't find you."

"That won't work either..."

"why?"

"I have to leave soon, let's talk later..."

"What are you talking about?"

"... Grandma is sick and can't see you these few days..."

Xuanying thought, Sisi kept refusing, there must be other reasons, but he couldn't force this matter on him, so what should he do? After thinking for a while, he said, "Wait a few days, after the rumors of the investigation have died down, you can take me there."

Seeing that Sisi didn't say anything, he said, "From now on, I will listen to you no matter what you ask me to do."

Sisi asked happily: "Really?"

Xuanying nodded and said, "Of course it's true."

"If I tell you to go east, will you go east? If I tell you to go west, will you go west?"

"Of course."

"What if I told you to die?"

"That's up to you."

"I'm just teasing you. I certainly won't ask you to die. What if you don't keep your word?" Sisi suddenly remembered the scene where Xuanying saw her naked not long ago, and her face suddenly turned red.

"I keep my word and I will never go back on my word!"

"Then let's pull the hook."

"That's for little kids to play with."

"No, I want to make a pinky promise!" Sisi smiled like a flower and started to act like a spoiled child.
