31 | Poking the Ghost Prince for the real face 2

Just by the condensation of the air at this moment, Xie Ren knew. This sentence, may not be appropriate to ask.

Although the two of them had gotten along quite happily over these days, it did not mean that they were close enough to make such a request. Without waiting for him to reply, Xie Ren whirled around and laughed, “I’m just making a casual remark, don’t take it too personally.”

Hua Cheng closed his eyes, and a few moments later, smiled and said, “I’ll show it to you later when I have the chance.”

If someone else to come to such a sentence, it is naturally a casual perfunctory, “there will be an opportunity later” is the same as “do not think about it, forget about it”. But since Hua Cheng said this, Xie Ren felt that when he said “later”, it meant “later”, and he would definitely do it. On the contrary, she was a little bit interested, and guffawed: “Good. Then, when you think you can do it, then show me. Now rest first.”

After tossing and turning until the middle of the night, he had long left the idea of cooking behind and lay down on the mat again. Hua Cheng also followed suit. Neither one of them bothered to find out why, after each of them had made their identities clear, a magus and a ghost could still lie down on the same broken mat, gagging and chatting casually.

There was no pillow on the straw mat, Hua Cheng pillowed his arm, Xie Ren also followed his example and casually said, “Your ghost world looks really free, don’t you need to report to work?”

Hua Cheng not only rested his arms, but also supported his legs and said, “What’s the report? I’m just the biggest. And it’s all on its own, no one can control anyone.”

It turns out that the ghost world is a group of chaotic and unorganized lonely ghosts. Xie Ren said, “So that’s how it is, I thought that you guys were also unified for the sake of things just like the Upper Heavenly Court. Then in that case, have you seen any other ghost kings?”

Flower City said, “I’ve seen it.”

Xie Ren said, “Green Ghost Chi Rong has also seen it?”

Hanagi said, “You mean that waste of poor taste?”

Xie Ren thought, “How can I take this? Yes? No?” Luckily, there was no need for him to pick it up, as Hua Cheng said, “A greeting was exchanged, and he ran away.”

Xie Ren intuited that this “greeting” must not be a normal greeting, and sure enough, Hua Cheng leisurely said, “By the way, I got the number of ‘Blood Rain Scout’.”

“……”

It turns out that when he said that he had taken out another ghost’s lair, he was talking about the green ghost Chi Rong. And this “greetings”, is the meaning of blood washing. Xie Ren thought that this greeting is really unusual, touching his chin, said: “Green ghost Qi Rong with you have a grudge?”

Flower City said, “Yes.”

“What smack?”

“Look at him getting in the way.”

Xie Ren couldn’t help but laugh and cry, thinking, “Could it be that you singled out the 33 Divine Officers because they were in your way? She said, “Some of the Divine Officials in the Heavenly Court said that he had low taste and that even the ghost world disliked him, could it be that this is true?”

Flower City said, “Seriously. Blackwater dislikes him too.”

Xie Ren said, “Who is Blackwater?” Then he reacted, “Is it the ‘Black Water Sinking Boat’ one?”

Hua Cheng said, “Not bad. It’s also called the Black Water Xuan Ghost.”

Xie Ren remembered that this Blackwater Xuan Ghost was also a “Jie”, while the Green Ghost Qi Rong was only a close Jie that made up the numbers. He asked with interest, “Are you familiar with this Xuan Ghost?”

Flower City lazily said, “Not familiar. I didn’t have many familiar ones in the ghost world in the first place.”

Xie Ren was a bit surprised and said, “Is that so? I thought you should have many subordinates. Then perhaps our understanding of ‘familiar’ is a bit different.”

Hua Cheng raised an eyebrow and said, “Not bad. In the ghost world, those who are not ‘Jedi’ are not qualified to speak to me.”

This was an extremely arrogant remark, spoken by him in a righteous and justified manner. Xie Ren smiled faintly and said, ”Your ghost realm is quite good, there are only a few big ones in general. Unlike the Heavenly Realm, the Divine Officers in the Upper Heavenly Court can’t even remember which ones there are, and those to be ascended in the Middle Heavenly Court are simply an ocean.”

Hua Cheng said, “What’s there to memorize? Don’t memorize it, it’s just a waste of brain.”

Xie Ren said, “Haha, if you can’t always remember people’s names, it’s quite offensive.” One must know that Magi are all very good at saving face. Hua Cheng snorted, “To be offended by such a little thing, you can see that you’re a narrow-minded waste of space.”

After chatting for a while, for fear that the topic will go deeper into sensitive places, Xie Ren no longer talk about the difference between the two worlds, glanced at the closed wooden door and said, “This child, Half Moon, I don’t know when he will come back?”

When he thought of that deafening phrase “I want to save the world”, many chaotic images came up in his mind, which he forcefully suppressed. At this time, he heard Hua Cheng say, “That sentence is really good.”

Xie Ren said, “What?”

Flower City said languidly, “‘I will save the living.'”

“……”

Xie Ren was like a heavy blow.

He rolled over, curled up into a shrimp, covered his face with one hand, practically wanting to cover his ears with one more, and moaned|”…… Sanlang ah.”

Flower City seemed to lean a little closer behind him and said in a serious voice, “Hmm? What’s wrong with that statement?”

He kept pursuing, and Xie Ren couldn’t argue with him, so he flipped back and helplessly said, “Silly.”

Hua Cheng, however, said, “What are you afraid of. I sincerely admire those who dare to speak of the Cangcheng, whether they want to save the Cangcheng or slaughter the Cangcheng. The former is much more difficult than the latter, so of course I admire it even more.”

Xie Ren crowed and shook his head, flattened his body and said, “Dare to speak as well as dare to act, and only if you can do it.”

He covered his eyes with one hand and said, “Ugh. Well, it’s nothing really, what Halfmoon said has been alright. I’ve said sillier things when I was a bit younger.”

Hua Cheng laughed, “Oh? What kind of words, tell me.”

After drifting off for a moment, Xie Ren smiled slightly while reminiscing, “Many, many years ago, there was once a man who told me that he couldn’t live any longer, asking me what on earth he was living for, what was the point of living.”

He glanced at Flower City and said, “You know how I answered that?”

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but there seemed to be a shimmering light in Hua Cheng’s gaze. He said softly, “How did you answer?”

Xie Ren said, “I said to him, ‘If you don’t know how you are going to live, live for my sake.’

“‘If you don’t know what’s the point of your living, then please take me for a moment as the point of your living, take me as the pillar that holds you up.'”

“Hahaha ……”

As Xie Ren thought and spoke, he suddenly couldn’t help himself and shook his head, “Even now I don’t understand what I was thinking at that time. Why would I have the courage to say something like becoming someone else’s meaning of life?”

Hua Cheng did not say anything. Xie Ren continued, ”It really is only when one is that young that one can say such things. At that time, I really thought I was omnipotent and fearless. Now that you’re asking me to say such words, I can no longer say them.”

He said slowly, “I don’t know what became of that person. It’s already a very heavy thing to be the meaning of someone’s existence, let alone saving the world.”

In the Bodhisattva’s view, there was a long silence.

After a long time, Hua Cheng faintly said, “It doesn’t matter how it is to save the living kind of thing. To dare to say such things at that young age, although brave, it is foolish.”

Xie Ren said, “Yeah.”

However, Hanagi added, “Stupid but brave.”

“……”

Xie Ren guffawed and said, “Thank you so much.”

Flower City said, “You’re welcome.”

The two men each stared for a while at the small broken roof of the Bodhi Shepherd’s Guan, before Flower City added, “However, Your Royal Highness, we’ve only been acquainted for a few days, is it alright for you to say so much to me?”

Xie Ren gave a “hey” and said, “What’s the problem? Whatever. Even people who have known each other for decades can become strangers in a single day. If you want to talk about it, you can talk about it. We meet each other, and we get together and then break up. If you like each other, you will get together, if not, you will be separated. In the end, there is no such thing as an unfinished banquet, so let’s make it casual.”

Flower City seemed to laugh softly, and suddenly, he said, “False make.”

Xie Ren turned his head and said, “Fake what?”

Hua Cheng did not look at him, looking at the ragged and tattered small roof of the Bodhisattva Guan, Xie Ren could only see the left half of this teenager’s handsome and peerless face.

He said in a faint voice, “I don’t look good.”

Xie Ren said, “Huh?”

Only then did Flower City turn her head slightly and said, “Assuming that my original appearance is not good, do you still want to see it?”

Xie Ren was stunned and said, “Is that so? Although there’s no reason for it, I always felt that your original appearance must not have been too ugly either.”

Hua Cheng said half-heartedly, “That’s not necessarily true. What if I am as ugly as a Rakshasa and as evil as a night fork, what are you going to do?”

Hearing him say this, Xie Ren originally found it a bit interesting: as the overlord of the Ghost World, the Demon King of the World, who is feared by all the Immortals and Gods of the Heavens, would he also care if his own face is good or not? But thinking deeper, he didn’t find it interesting anymore.

He vaguely remembered that among the various legends of his origins in the city of flowers, there were rumors that he had grown up as a deformed child. If that was true, he must have been discriminated against a lot, perhaps even since he was a child. Perhaps that’s why he’s so sensitive to his true nature.

So, Xie Ren weighed his words and said, “Well ……”

In the gentlest of tones, he said sincerely, “Actually, I want to see you as you were, only because, you see, we’re both like this ……”

Flower City said, “Huh? Which way is this?”

Xie Ren said, “…… We are now, also considered to have made a friend, right? Then, since we are friends, of course we should be honest with each other. That’s why I said I want to see your real face, it has nothing to do with whether your real face is good or not. You ask me how I am going to be, of course I am not. You don’t worry, as long as it is your real appearance, I must all …… what are you laughing at, what I said is true.”

Speaking the last few sentences, Xie Ren felt that the body of the teenager beside him seemed to tremble slightly. Originally, he froze for a moment, thinking: “What I said was really so good that it moved him to such a state?” But he was also too embarrassed to turn his head to see what was going on, but who knows, after a while, from the side came extremely low laughter that was leaking out. Xie Ren then felt very depressed, put his hand on his shoulder and pushed a little, “San Lang …… what are you doing to laugh like this? Where did I say is wrong?”

Flower City instantly stopped trembling, turned around, and said, “No, what you said makes sense.”

Xie Ren only felt even more depressed and said, “You are so insincere ……”

Instead, Flower City said, “I swear, you won’t find a more sincere one than me in heaven or on earth.”

Xie Ren didn’t want to talk, rolled over and turned her back to Hua Cheng, “Forget it, sleep. Sleep well and don’t talk.”

Flower City’s side laughed softly again and said, “Next time.”

Although she had already decided to sleep, the moment Hua Cheng spoke, Xie Ren couldn’t help but pick up again, “What next time?”

Flower City whispered, “When I see you again next time, I will meet you in my original appearance.”

This sentence can be pondered quite a lot, Xie Ren should have asked again, but a night down, can not stop the sleepiness uprush, he really can not hold out, so, fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Xie Ren woke up with a start, got up, and his body was already empty.

Xie Ren stumbled up and walked around the Bodhisattva Guan in a daze. Opening the door, there was no one to be seen outside. It seemed to be true that the teenager had already left.

However, the fallen leaves had already been swept into a pile, and a small clay pot stood on one side. Xie Ren went out and carried the pot in, placing it on the offering table. It was at this moment that he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something extra in his consistently empty chest.

Xie Ren raised his hand and touched it, realizing that underneath the spell yoke, there was actually an extra extremely thin chain that was worn loosely.

Xie Ren removed it from his neck in one go. It turned out to be a silver chain, and because it was thin and light, he didn’t realize that he had an extra thing on him at all. And underneath the silver chain dangled a crystal clear finger ring.
