Chapter 173

"Unconsciously, how can things that have happened change? Rather than complaining about the past, it is better to find ways to solve future problems."

"You'll die!"

"Know."

"Your thoughts are just like delusions." Although she didn't want to pour cold water on her at this time, Fulilian still put the cruel reality directly into words.

But Ya Xiu just smiled faintly and said calmly: "It doesn't matter even if it is a sad delusion. At least I don't want to give up before trying it. In addition, you may have heard that I made an agreement with Feilun when she was a child. I will abandon her again and never leave her alone again.”

"...That's probably the goddess herself, and we can't deal with it." Fulilian pressed her hands on the table and solemnly emphasized again: "You will die."

"There are many things in this world that are more important than life. I don't want to lose important things or break the promises I made because of my weakness."

"...Neither Feilun nor Zanze, nor even Yubel would want you to take this risk." Fulian's voice gradually contained a hint of sincerity: "Even if I... Same."

"So I have never revealed this plan to you. Although I still say it now, as you said, when I have to say it, it should only be regarded as... a confession?"

"Haha..." She no longer wanted to talk to him anymore, and she knew that she couldn't persuade him at all. Fulilian couldn't help but let out a long sigh and asked: "....Do you really have a chance of winning?"

"Who knows, whether it's a way to get on top of the stage or a dirty trick, you have to try it anyway, whether it's for them, for the previous agreement, or something else... Even if you stand in the way The one in front of me is the real God, so there’s no reason to give up right now, right?”

"..."

Looking at Ash, who had a smile on his face but firm eyes as before, Fulian felt mixed emotions in her heart, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

He was just suffering in silence, and the accusations and objections that he originally wanted to blurt out seemed to be bound by invisible forces and could not be poured out at this moment.

She couldn't help but think back to her time in the elf village... If she could have taught Ash well at that time, how to face the gains, losses, joys and sorrows in the long years as an immortal species, maybe the current situation would be different.

But Fulilian also knew that her openness to life was more of a compromise with the irreversible passage of time.

That seemingly detached attitude actually hides the two elements of powerlessness and recognition of reality.

And Ash...this young demon obviously doesn't want to accept such a fate.

This difference made Fulilian even more distressed.

However, just as her thoughts were swirling, she caught an unusual aura from the corner of her eye.

Due to the interference of the forbidden magic stone, magic detection lost its effect, and she never noticed the figure standing quietly by the door.

"Ah..." The moment her eyes touched her, Fulilian's expression became complicated.

At the same time, Ash, who was immersed in the topic, also noticed something strange about her, subconsciously looked back, and finally... also spotted the girl standing by the door.

.............................

.............................

Not long after the two started talking, Line used her advantage as a warrior to force the three of them out in order to occupy the bed.

The aggrieved Feilun led his people to seek justice, but the two were talking about something and they couldn't interfere.

Originally, they wanted to leave, but the content of their conversation made the three of them unable to move away... The expressions on their faces quietly and subtly changed as the conversation progressed.

Just when that indescribable touch crept into their hearts, Fulian's last look made them tremble violently, and they instinctively wanted to pull away.

But as soon as they took half a step, Ya Phosphorus turned around and looked at them, which made them feel as if their feet were raw and they were unable to move for a moment.

".Come on.`..Have you stopped crying so quickly? (?Those nine...)...I'm sorry," Mr. Ashimeng, I... "I didn't mean to eavesdrop." Feilan, who was strict with etiquette, lowered her head guiltily, her face was pale, and her eyes were flashing with complicated emotions.

She had obviously just heard the conversation between the two of them. The heavy topics about life and death, about promises, and about the future made her head still blank and somewhat unclear.

"I really didn't expect you to have such an idea. How can I put it...imagine the handsome guy above, am I really attracted to you~?" Yubel pretended to be calm and looked at him, as if he was thinking He considered his words over and over in his mind, and after a long time, he tried to muddle through with a slightly provocative tone, but at the end he couldn't help but add:

"But forget about challenging the goddess. That's the Creator. No matter how hard you think, you can't win."

"Of course, I was just joking with Fulian just now. If you are teased, you will lose." Ash smiled and patted Yubel's head, following her words and trying to blur the topic.

Following, but avoiding Feilun's gaze, he stood up and walked towards the direction of the room.

But Yubel showed a troubled expression as he passed by, and he muttered quietly on the spot: "Although I am an idiot, I am not that stupid, right?"

But Zanze followed him silently, and gently tugged on the corner of his clothes: "Master Ash."

"What's wrong?"

"....It's better not to do this. It's too dangerous."

"Let men solve men's matters by themselves."

Ash chuckled helplessly and reached out to touch her hair, stroking her hair as gently as he usually did when petting a cat.

But Zanze just raised his head and stared at him quietly with his lips pursed. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

Because she is just like Fulian. Although this person seems to have some bad taste, she is more serious than imagined and will never compromise on what she believes in.

Therefore, it was pointless to dissuade her, leaving her with a bitter expression and then looking away with a helpless expression.

And it didn't take long for Feilun, who finally collected his thoughts, to walk over quickly and drag him away on the pretext that he had something serious to do.

............................

On the observation deck of the castle, the magician on duty was driven away, but Fearon, whose face was not very good-looking, stared straight at him with her beautiful purple eyes: "Master Ash."

"What's wrong?"

"No matter what decision you make, I will support you, but... I hope you can remember that if you are no longer here, I will definitely not be able to live on."

"Seriously, Fearon, your words are so heavy..."

"Yes... I'm sorry, I'm just so heavy." Although Ash looked troubled, Feilun silently took his hand, held it in his palm, looked into his eyes, and gently To express what is on your mind:

"But...you are such an important person to me."

The ruined Fulian·Golden Land and the Empire: Chapter 23: Unkindness as a teacher·A win-win situation between Celia and Zanze·The only chance of survival?

His admiration for Ash, from childhood to adulthood... In fact, Feilun basically didn't hide it at all.

And this has a lot to do with the initial acquaintance.

In the beginning, it was an otherwise peaceful day, with a sky as blue as gems and clouds floating in the air like cotton candy.

She was playing happily in the yard with her friends, and her laughter was as clear and sweet as a silver bell. However, the enemy invaded without warning and destroyed the town where the family had lived for generations.

Panic spread quickly and enveloped the whole city in an instant. She watched in panic as everything around her collapsed in an instant... She cried out to find her family, but was dispersed by the chaotic scene.

When she was finally reunited with her family, they were all injured in the disaster. Everyone spent the following days in panic, and even left her one by one.

This was by no means the childhood she had imagined. Her life was originally full of laughter and sunshine, but it was definitely not what it was like now.

However, no matter how fervently she prayed in her heart, this conflict could be settled as soon as possible, and the family could return to a peaceful and normal life.

But fate always seems to play tricks on people, and God did not respond to his prayers. Her family members died in that terrible disaster.

Just when she was facing this series of disasters, despair overflowed her soul, she was on the verge of death several times, and she even wanted to commit suicide - Ash suddenly broke into her life.

.............................

Ever since that person walked into her world like a clever arrangement of fate and gave her salvation from body to soul during those days of living in the wilderness, Feilun has been devoutly and carefully nurturing that unique feeling every day. feelings.

Like an extremely delicate glass craft, it seems to have been gently carved by the hand of fate. As long as it is spoken casually, it seems to be destroyed and shattered in an instant and disappear without a trace.

Revealing this emotion undoubtedly requires considerable courage, but just thinking of being able to convey this long-hidden emotion intact to this special person, an indescribable sense of happiness quietly rises in my heart.

"Since I met you, I have changed because of you... I once again have a longing for my destination in my heart; the encounter with you has made me redeemed, and I have become eager to see someone again." In order to prevent him from running away. , Philon clenched Ash's hand tightly in front of his chest, summoned up unprecedented courage, looked into his eyes, turned his heart into gentle words, and confided softly:

"Master Ash, you are my most important and irreplaceable person. I care about you more than anyone else, and I value you more than anyone else. So - please, don't seek death!"

"...You actually think that I want to seek death." Ya Xiu stared at Feilun blankly, an indescribable emotion welling up in his heart, but he lowered his eyes and sighed deeply, shook his head and laughed: "In advance As promised...I have no intention of seeking death."

"But, the opponent is a goddess!" Feilun's voice was trembling, and his eyes were full of worry.

"That's the same."

"Phailon... I must say that your existence is also very important to me." Ash put his hands on her shoulders and called her name softly, but his voice was just like the first night So gentle: "So believe me, I will not leave you, nor will everything come to nothing."

Even though he was so sure, Fearon also knew that he was not lying to himself.

However, this did not make her eyes less worried, because she also knew that these words basically meant that he did not intend to change.

This made her hold back the pain in her heart and she looked like she was about to cry: "Why? I don't need eternal life or anything like that. I just need you to be by my side!"

In her heart, it was never what she was pursuing.

Although she had never had any extravagant expectations, she couldn't bear to take the risk. The risks were completely out of proportion to the rewards. At least she didn't think she could afford to lose; She only hoped to spend ordinary but beautiful days with Ash, watch the sunrise and sunset together, and feel the warmth of life together... That kind of plain and boring life would be enough.

"Obviously I just said..."

"——That's family affection! So...no one can stop birth, old age, illness and death. Normally everyone would accept the death of a loved one, right? Although it's sad, there's nothing you can do about it. Everyone can accept it. , Why isn’t Master Ash willing to accept it?”

Although he had just squeezed out a lifetime of courage, but thinking about the difference in life span between the two and what he had done, even if he was unwilling to give in, Fearon still gritted his teeth and denied it forcefully, but...

"...Even so, I don't want you to die in front of me, and I don't like the saying 'there's no way'." Ashus' answer remained unchanged, and he just said with a smile, "That's true. You, don’t worry like an old mother all the time, and have some faith in me.”

"...I am not a mother, and I just hope that you can be healthy and healthy by my side."

"I'm healthy now..."

"Liar, you are obviously injured now."

Fearon stared at him closely, her eyes full of distress... If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to say anything, she would have asked already.

"....Did you actually find out? I shouldn't have changed much."

"Of course, because I have been looking at you." Feilun stared at Ash quietly, his eyes full of attachment that almost overflowed.

"...To be honest, it's a bit scary when you say that." Ash looked at Feilun's stubborn look, and concealed it, but didn't hide it at all. A warm current surged in his heart, and he was somewhat dumbfounded at the same time. .

He gently stroked Feilun's hair and said softly: "Okay, don't worry. I will be careful and won't let anything happen to me."

Feilun raised his head and looked into Ash's eyes, his eyes still full of worry: "But..."

"You really don't have to worry. Who am I? Haven't I been fine for so many years? I still have many trump cards that you don't know about." Before she could finish speaking, Ash gently took her in his arms as he spoke. He entered his arms, held the soft girl in his arms, and took a deep breath:

"You have grown up in just a blink of an eye. It's really... time flies so fast. The little man you once was has now become so warm."

"...Is this a compliment?" The girl, who didn't know what to say for a moment, retorted coquettishly, but she still hugged him carefully without realizing it.

"It means it's very comfortable to hold."

"If it were someone else, this would be sexual harassment, right?"

"How can there be such pure harassment?"

With his excellent perception, he could still feel the heartbeat of the girl in his arms seemed to be accelerating, but he just smiled bitterly and joked: "However, Feilun is indeed very comfortable to hold. If it is a strange person, it will be very comfortable." I want to kidnap you."

"...Wasn't I kidnapped by you a long time ago?" Feilun buried her face in his arms, muttering softly with a voice that she could hear.

But Ash couldn't say that he heard it, after all, what he said... Fearon might lose his temper.

There is no exaggeration in this sentence, at least Feilun herself is very sure of this. She can't imagine how to spend her days without Ash.

Even just imagining it, that kind of fear was like cold sea water, surrounding her tightly.

She knew that her feelings might be a bit heavy, but she couldn't control her heart. She just hoped that Ash could live well and be by her side.

Even if the person he likes is not him, it doesn't matter. It's better to say it's someone else, so... maybe it's better for both of them.

After all, she is only a human being with a short life span. If she really reveals her feelings completely, it will definitely be bad for everyone.

As for Ash, he didn't know what the girl in his arms was thinking about right now. He just felt the warmth in his arms and the girl's attachment, and patted her back gently, as if comforting a frightened child.

.............................

.............................

Although Feilun's mood was generally appeased, it was not completely appeased.

Knowing that the goddess might send her apostle... or something similar, or she might come here herself, Ash naturally started to make corresponding preparations quickly.

It was just that Philen... he had just promised to treat him properly, and he hadn't had time to call for people to make corresponding preparations.

Millie got the news of Fulilian's coming from somewhere, and dragged him to a drinking party to reminisce about the past.

Fulilian was also very happy to see her old friend here, but unfortunately the situation she was facing now made her lose interest in drinking... although she didn't have much interest in it.

After telling Millie what was happening, Millie slapped the wine glass hard, observing Ash with a look of looking at a rare treasure:

"You, it might not be too late to stop now."

"...I hope so, but I don't think the other party will give up if I stop now."

"Knowing that the situation is not right and may lead to unpredictable risks, you still do such a stupid thing... You are dumber than I knew before." Millie poured a sip of wine into her mouth, and then watched him shaking his head, which made him a little depressed. She couldn't help but retort: ​​"Do you think everyone is like you, idling all day and thinking about nothing, just muddleheaded?"

"Although I really don't have any big goals, and like you said, I'm idle all day, but I live an easy life~! It's so tiring to be like you, I don't want to be like you."

Faced with this accusation, Millie didn't even get angry. She put down the wine and spread her hands very calmly, carrying out her attitude of letting things go, and even felt quite proud of it.
