Chapter 118 Autumn Rain Knows the Cold, Things Must Turn to the Extreme

In the early morning, the cold rain was as cold as silk and smoke. The lingering autumn rain was gentle and delicate, dyeing the maple leaves in the courtyard red and washing the fruit in the vegetable garden. The blooming chrysanthemums swayed in the wind and rain, clusters and clusters. Cong Cong, various styles, soft and delicate.

Ji Lin arrived at Wutong's house holding an oil-paper umbrella and carrying several jars of old wine. The rain did not wet her clothes.

She was wearing a white, light silk chiffon shirt with a beige bow ribbon at the neck, maroon casual pants, and a mid-length light brown windbreaker, with her sword still on her body. But he didn't wear any other "jewelry".

The weather was slightly cool, so Ji Lin did not wear white stockings and a short skirt, which disappointed Wutong who was having breakfast.

After breakfast, the two of them carried drinks and food to the four-corner pavilion next to the lotus pond.

The lotus flowers have not withered in early September, but they will begin to wither and fall soon after, which makes the beauty of this season even more rare and valuable.

The beauty that is about to pass away can always make people miss and cherish it more.

The pond lotus dances in the rain, and the pearls are scattered and gathered together, forming a nest of mercury, which releases clear waves.

The rain beat on the lotus flowers, as quiet as a dream, and the autumn breeze was the most alluring, blowing up Ji Lin's soft hair and blowing away a little bit of melancholy in her heart.

Sure enough, it was still the same. Every time she was alone with Wutong, her mental pressure would be appropriately relieved and she would become relaxed and comfortable, even if they were talking about serious matters.

Whether this feeling was peace of mind or something else, Ji Lin couldn't tell clearly, but he knew it in his heart.

In fact, she lived a very tiring life. Since she was a child, Ji Lin had been given high hopes by her father and clan members when she first showed her prowess. When she grew up and inherited the position of clan leader, she could no longer have her own way.

And as the years went by, Ji Lin gradually became the ancestor of China. In front of the younger generations, she had to put on a childish face and put on a solemn and majestic look.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Her appearance is already childish. If she behaves in a frivolous manner, she will give people a very unreliable feeling.

Ji Lin wants his image to be reliable and trustworthy in people's eyes, because this will make people feel more at ease in a collapsing world.

Why does she look so childish? Why does she like children?

Maybe it's because deep down she doesn't want to grow up.

Perhaps it was because she also wanted to have a carefree childhood like the one depicted in the books.

Unfortunately, Ji Lin's wish may never be realized. Even if one day she can go back to the past and experience a long life again, her childhood will be "false" and "hypocritical" because she Her mind has long since matured, and her soul can no longer return to yesterday.

Therefore, Ji Lin had no choice but to make himself stronger and more reliable, and try his best to let future children have a carefree childhood.

The people of China love and respect her because she deserves to be respected. She also loves this land and its people. This heart has never cooled down after thousands of years.

The drizzle was soft, and after silently admiring the scenery for a while, Ji Lin leaned over and took off his boots and white socks, and took out a pair of cotton slippers prepared in advance, which would make it easier.

Her little feet seemed to be no bigger than Wutong's palm. They were delicate and delicate, moderately fat and thin, as white and tender as boiled eggs that had been peeled. Wutong could faintly see the faint cyan blood vessels on them.

Sitting on the wooden chair, Ji Lin, who always valued etiquette and appearance, hugged his legs and put his chin on his knees, making him look even smaller.

"Take it." Ji Lin said softly.

"oh."

Wutong, who withdrew his gaze, stood up and poured her a glass of warm wine. He was wearing black and white mesh pajamas that he usually wears at home, and a pair of slippers on his feet.

"How many days did you take leave?" Wutong didn't ask Ji Lin's reason for coming because he had already guessed it.

"Half a month." Ji Lin reached out, picked up the green jade wine glass, and took a sip.

Old wine has a darker color, a mellow and long aroma, a soft and sweet taste, not spicy, and not easy to get drunk.

Ji Lin inexplicably remembered the first time he learned about the existence of "wine" from Danzhu when he was a child, and the first time he and his brother secretly tasted the wine brewed by his father.

The wine at that time was very unpleasant, turbid and difficult to swallow. She and her brother did not like to drink it, but they cherished it so much that they did not want to waste every drop and were reluctant to drink it.

There are many kinds of wine now, and there are some brands that she has never heard of, but no matter how delicious the wine is, she can never regain the feeling of cherishing it.

very nice.

"Half a month is a bit short. Where do you want to go tomorrow?"

"Let's go to the beach." Ji Lin said casually without thinking too much.

"Very good, just what I want. Let me think about it and bring some more beauties."

"Bring Chaoyu with you."

"Okay, but that kid is too shy and dresses more conservatively." Wutong thought for a while and smiled, "Want to meet Feng Lu and Bing Lu in the future?"

"good."

In a moment,

Ji Lin picked up the jade jug, poured himself another glass of wine, and asked, "What do you think? Now many people have speculated that the dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon."

"My guess is correct. It seems there are many people smarter than me~"

Although Ji Lin had already guessed this result and was mentally prepared, she was still shocked after learning the exact answer from Wutong. Her clear and bright red eyes turned into full

An oppressive golden color.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Lin's heart returned to calm, and his eye color returned to normal: "What do you think?"

"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. I don't like to trouble others, and I don't like to decide for others a path they don't want to take. Therefore, it's better for me to be the Lawyer of the End."

Wutong played with the wine glass in his hand and said nonchalantly: "Moreover, the development process of civilization has far exceeded my initial expectations. Only I can bear the burden. After all, it was promoted by me personally. , no one wants to eat the food I cook, so I have to eat it myself, and I can’t waste food."

"Initial expectation? You will make mistakes too?"

"Oh, as I say, who doesn't make mistakes? The longer I live, the more mistakes I make. The same goes for me. I don't remember how many times I have made mistakes, big and small. I have been making mistakes all my life. Make mistakes and correct mistakes...but you may not be able to see it or know it.”

"I am willing to taste it for you." Ji Lin said resolutely.

She knows the consequences of tasting, but she doesn't mind sacrificing herself because she loves the land and its people.

"Forget it, your little body is too fragile and I can't bear to destroy it."

"Why bother? We are fully capable of avoiding the end."

"It's inevitable, and you should be well aware of this." Wutong said with a smile, "We can only infinitely extend the time for the arrival of the Herrscher of the End, and continue to weaken the power of the Herrscher of the End. But. If we do this, even if humans can defeat the Herrscher of the End, they will never be able to defeat Honkai, because humans at that time will only run away and not dare to move forward, blocking a road that has a chance of defeating Honkai."

"But if you become the final one and become the final trial, humanity will have no future."

"No, I believe you can defeat me. After all, you were saved by me, and I trust the abilities of each of you." Wutong drank the wine in the glass and said, "The Creator is not supreme and cannot be defeated. Weapons created by humans can destroy humans themselves. Artificial intelligence and bionic humans created by humans are better than humans in many fields. You are all better than me, so you can definitely defeat me."

"But what should you do? Why don't you think about yourself?" Ji Lin's eyes were a little red.

Wutong put down his wine glass, leaned forward, and pinched Ji Lin's chubby cheeks. Ji Lin rarely moved away.

"Hold it, don't cry. I have never seen you cry, and I don't want to see you in the future. I hope you will be happy every day.

"Don't worry, things are not as bad as you think. I cherish my life very much. Although I have lived for so long, I have not lived enough.

"Besides, I am also a human being, and there are many people in my heart that I cannot let go of, and those people cannot live without me.

“I am your trial, but from another perspective, you are also my trial, the ‘whetstone’ for me to break out of my cocoon and become a butterfly, moving towards a higher realm.

"I once swore in front of Honkai's will to defeat Honkai and never compromise. I will not break my oath. I will never become a slave or puppet of Honkai, let alone become Honkai. I will become... the master of collapse."

"Really? Are you trying to comfort me?"

"Um."

"One word?"

"Of course. When have I ever broken a promise?"

"You lie a lot."

"But big things don't lie!" Wutong spread his hands.

Ji Lin pursed her thin pink lips and asked, "When will it come?"

"On a day when I feel like letting loose."

"indulgence?"

"Well, everything must be reversed in its extreme. I have restrained myself for hundreds of thousands of years, and I want to indulge as much as I want. Do you mind?"

"Mind." Ji Lin said with a straight face.

"Haha, it's useless to mind, because I can't bear it anymore. Do your best and struggle until the end."

"We will then become enemies."

There are too many things in life that you have no control over.

"So cherish now."

After the two were silent for a moment, Ji Lin said, "You seem to have spoken a lot of human words today."

"I also want to go back to the beginning."

"Then do you still like my appearance?"

Ji Lin lifted the hair beside her ear, moved her big toes, and bit her lips, as if teasing the other person.

"like."

"Oh, you can't go back to the beginning."

Ji Lin put down his legs, put on his slippers, then picked up a large piece of spicy beef jerky and took a big bite.

"Otto is the spy you sent to Dr. May?"

"no."

"I don't believe it!"

"That's not true. Su Mei is the spy I sent." Wutong said with a smile.

"Su Mei?"

Ji Lin frowned and thought of the red-haired woman. She didn't like Su Mei very much. She always felt that the child was too ill-intentioned and had no morals to restrain him. He was not as honest as Xiao Chaoyu.

"Be careful she sells it to you."

"She must have sold it to me, but it doesn't matter. Sometimes, you can get a lot of useful information just through a person's perspective."

"I don't want to go to the beach anymore. Tomorrow, I want to go back to my hometown for a stroll."

"OK."

"Bring Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu with you."

"OK."
