Both worlds are like dreams

After leaving Jingmeng Garden, Xue Huang said goodbye to Wei Yunzhou and walked around the street alone.

She remembered the shop that Gu Qinglan mentioned and went to have a look.

There were indeed many kinds of snacks in the shop, many of which she had never eaten before, so she bought a little of each.

Then we walked around the willow forest near Bi Bo Lake and unexpectedly met a few kittens there.

It was so furry and cute, and probably because it was hungry, it kept rubbing against her feet.

Xue Huang tore up some of the jerky she bought from the store and fed it to them.

These kittens were not afraid of people and started eating without any hesitation.

Snow Phoenix reached out to touch them, but did not guard the food. It was well-behaved and cute.

A rare smile flashed in her eyes.

A voice came from behind me, "You like cats?"

Xue Huang turned around and took a look, a little surprised, "It's you?"

The person who came was Bai Yu, holding a few small fish in his hand. It seemed that he was also here to feed the cat.

"I didn't expect to meet you here." Bai Yu put the fish on the ground, but the kittens only cared about the meat jerky in Xue Huang's hand and ignored him. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "These heartless little guys, I bring them food every day, but they were bribed by a few pieces of meat jerky from you."

"It's natural for cats to like fish, but some cats don't like eating raw fish."

"Have you ever had a cat?"

"I picked one up when I was a kid."

Bai Yu glanced at her with a complicated look in his eyes, "But it's a white cat? But its face is as black as the bottom of a pot?"

Xue Huang was not surprised and said calmly, "Yes, so his name is Coal Ball."

"Do you remember?"

Xue Huang looked at him, "I remember the cat, and I also remember giving the cat to my two children."

"You... still recognize me?"

"Your master is friends with my uncle. He once said in a letter that the two children he sent were very talented and hardworking. After the fall of the Gushan Sect, my uncle and I went to Gushan. But by then, you had already left. Later, the name of the Black and White Devils appeared in the martial arts world. Although it did not reveal your identity as the orphans of the Gushan Sect, my uncle and I knew at a glance your lightness skills and hidden weapon techniques."

"So, you knew our identities from the first time we met? Then why are you... disappointed that we have become General Shen's pawns?"

"I can't say I'm disappointed, but I feel a little regretful. However, everyone has their own aspirations, and you have your own choices."

"Changfeng and I actually had no choice. We didn't want to kill anyone, but we had no choice."

“Since you know the road ahead is difficult, why not turn back?”

"Easier said than done?"

"Do you feel happy with this kind of life? Living in darkness forever, doing shameful things, with your hands stained with blood."

Bai Yu was silent.

Xue Huang did not ask further questions and said, "Thank you for taking care of me in the dungeon, and thank you for secretly telling me the formula of my second uncle's medicine man technique."

"You know it all?"

Xue Huang nodded.

"I'm sorry," Bai Yu said seriously, "We wanted to kill you so many times. Fortunately... otherwise Changfeng and I would live in guilt for the rest of our lives."

"You don't have to feel guilty. After all, I have never held back on you. If we have a conflict of opinion in the future, I will not show mercy."

Bai Yu looked at her indifferent eyes, and for some reason he felt a little disappointed, because he understood that Xue Huang actually held back against them. Otherwise, with her martial arts, he and Chang Feng would have died long ago. But she was unwilling to admit it, and even unwilling to recognize him, which showed that she must still be disappointed in them.

After all, when she and Rong Yu sent them to Gushan Sect, she smiled and told them to learn their skills well, become famous in the martial arts world as soon as possible, punish evil and promote good. But they ended up becoming killers who assisted Shen Congfeng in killing innocent people.

After a moment of silence, Bai Yu broke the deadlock, "Is the kitten okay?"

"It got lost." Xue Huang said calmly. "It doesn't like the new home I gave it."

"sorry."

Xue Huang turned and left without saying anything else.

Bai Yu sighed.

What was lost was not just the cat, but their lives, their original intentions, and her life.
