Chapter 1235 The most beautiful thing is encounter
Her brother Li Shaohui also has such a talent.
She raised her hand so that the white mouse was level with her eyes: "Can you do me a favor?"
The afternoon sun shines slantingly on the mirror-like lake.
Beside the waterfront platform, Xia Yingluo held a cup of scented tea in her hand, sitting on a wicker chair and drinking it slowly.
As evening approaches, the setting sun gradually takes on brilliant colors.
A tall figure of a man quietly appeared behind her, it was Wei Lingnan: "I seem to be in a good mood today, is there anything good I can do?" He walked over, bent down, and hugged her from behind.
Xia Yingluo didn't look back, with a slight smile in her voice: "I seem to have fallen in love with the sunset here. It's very beautiful, and the wind on the lake is also very comfortable. I don't know if it's an illusion, but the air here seems to be fresher than outside."
Wei Lingnan also smiled: "The man-made scenery here is more perfect than the real nature. If you like it, stay longer." He lowered his head and kissed her ear gently.
Xia Yingluo felt a numbness in her ears and wanted to avoid it, but held back.
She lowered her eyes and sighed: "Wei Lingnan, you can't keep me here forever."
He reached out and held her chin, turning her face to face him: "When you fall in love with this place, I won't be locking you up." By then, even if he drives her away, she won't leave.
“Will there be such a day?” She looked a little dazed.
His kiss fell softly.
The night passed peacefully, and her pretended meekness and confusion satisfied him, so he didn't bother her too much. The two fell asleep hugging each other, lying on the bed and looking at the stars in the artificial night sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
“Aluo.” He called her in a low voice.
“What are you doing?” She responded softly.
He held her tenderly for a long time before saying, "When I was chosen by you from a deserted land, I never imagined that I would be here today." He could hold her in his arms so peacefully, as if he would never be separated for the rest of his life.
Xia Yingluo then said, "Tell me about the past." She didn't really like to hear it, but she tried her best to follow him to paralyze him and create an environment more conducive to her escape.
Wei Lingnan did not notice her little thoughts and spoke slowly: "You are a princess."
“Princess?” She had never thought that she would have such a high status in his fantasy.
He took it for granted: "The Skatana tribe is a matriarchal society. The Queen gave birth to the World Tree, and the World Tree gave birth to fruits - there are hundreds of dark fruits, all of which are male warriors, and there are only a few light-colored fruits, that is Females, princesses. The princesses fight each other, and only one survives, and that one is the new queen."
"It seems like there are no benefits to being a princess?" Xia Yingluo said with little interest, "It's better to be the daughter of a wealthy family on earth, doing whatever you want all day long, eating and waiting to die."
Wei Lingnan smiled: "You were like this before." "Huh?"
"You have no fight with the world and just want to live well," he said. "At that time, you would shed tears when you saw the humblest tribesman being injured. You didn't look like a princess at all. Everyone said that you would be one of the six princesses." The one who dies first in the knockout round.”
“I’m not that weak!” She retorted in a low voice. Even though she knew it was a story, she still couldn’t help but protect her image.
Wei Lingnan laughed again: "Indeed, you are not that weak. They were all wrong."
“I survived?” She turned over and raised her face to look at him.
Looking into her crystal eyes, he softened his voice: "The princesses were still very young at that time, and it was customary to go to the deserted land to select guardians. It was the most dangerous area on the entire planet Skatana. Many monsters, I mean creatures that are considered monsters even to the Skatana tribe.”
“Why are the guardians in such a dangerous place?”
"The guardian is the abandoned child of the World Tree," Wei Lingnan's voice was very calm, and there was no wave. "Some fruits fell from the branches when they were half-gestated by the World Tree and followed the flow of the soil. In the desolate land, they either became food for wild beasts, or died because they could not draw enough nutrients. The fruits of the world trees were abandoned from generation to generation, and only the best among them could struggle to survive, similar to this. When humans raise mastiffs and put many small mastiffs together, the one who survives in the end is the strongest."
Xia Yingluo felt a little chilled after hearing this. Is this how he survived?
On second thought, she felt that she was ridiculous. He was obviously making up the story, so why was she so worried?
“What happened next?” she asked softly.
"There are thousands of abandoned fruits in the deserted land. The year the princesses went to choose the guardians, there were about ten fruits still alive. I am one of them, the weakest one." Wei Lingnan said, " I hid myself deep in the soil to avoid attacks from various wild beasts. That day, behind a big rock, I saw Aluo, who was all dirty—she was crying."
Wei Lingnan said, his eyes slightly distant, as if he was recalling something beautiful.
Xia Yingluo listened intently. Even if she was just making up a story, the story was really good.
She listened to Wei Lingnan continue: "The Desolate Land is too dangerous. She is very weak. Any wild beast here can kill her. However, she has not really entered the interior of the Desolate Land. If she cannot bring one with her this time, If the guardian goes out, there is a high probability that she will be attacked by other sisters with guardians as soon as she leaves here, and she will die without the ability to fight back.
“She was hungry and frightened, and she cried bitterly.
"At that time, I had just escaped from the claws of a wild beast. The fruit was damaged and I was seriously injured. I had not long to live. When I saw A Luo, I couldn't help but cry out, 'Why are you crying? I didn't expect that before I died, I would There is a princess accompanying me. 'Aluo turned around and looked at me in surprise.
“‘What are you?’ she asked.
"'I am the guardian your princess is looking for. Why, don't you even know what a guardian looks like?' At that time, I was still a damaged, dying fruit. The approach of death made me feel very bad. Laughing at her. With tears still on her face, she looked at me carefully and said she wanted to save me.
"I was surprised this time. 'Save me? Do you know how much energy it takes? I'm so seriously injured, you may not be able to save me. If you put all your energy into it in vain, you won't be able to walk to the desert." Find a powerful guardian in the core area of the land.
“‘Aren’t you the guardian?’ A Luo asked.
"'But I'm going to die,' I said, 'and you're too weak. Even if you save me, I can't be your guardian. Following you means waiting to die, right?'
“She sniffled and was about to cry again.”
