Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

"…Don't be angry, okay?"

Mo Hanshang pointed at Mo Hanyu, who was lying on the bed next to him with his back to him.

Mo Hanyu did not respond.

"Hey--"

Mo Hanyu took a deep breath, and sat up to look at him, unable to bear it any longer: "Are you done yet? I've already said it's nothing."

"But I think you misunderstood me." Mo Hanshang blinked innocently, "You have to let me explain it clearly, right?"

Mo Hanyu clenched his fists and tried to hold back something: "Come on, tell me what you mean."

Looking at the angry Mo Hanyu, Mo Hanshang was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "It's really rare that you are so angry."

Mo Hanyu: ...

He shouldn't have had any hope for him.

Mo Hanyu pursed his lips, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and was just about to lie down and continue sleeping when he heard Mo Hanshang say.

"I'm just a little uneasy."

Mo Hanshang didn't look at him. He lowered his head, his pupils unfocused, and seemed to be in a daze: "You seem to be hiding a lot of things from me. I don't know what these things are or what they represent... You disappeared for four years inexplicably. This seems to be a decision made by you and your parents tacitly, but I had no idea."

"Why? Am I not a member of the Mo family?" Mo Hanshang raised his eyes and looked at Mo Hanyu. The figure of the white-haired child was reflected in his deep eyes. "You seem to know everything, but you don't tell me anything. Dad and mom are the same. When asked, they just say you don't need to know..."

"Why? I don't know what's so different about you, but aren't you my brother? Haven't you been by my side since birth? Why do you always act so inexplicably distant?"

Mo Hanshang spoke for a long time, but Mo Hanyu didn't say anything.

"I'm not alienated." Mo Hanyu closed his eyes, his eyes calm, "It's your illusion."

Mo Hanshang looked at him, his eyes became deeper and deeper, and there seemed to be a huge wave in his eyes, surging and seeming to break through the shackles at any time.

The atmosphere was so eerie that you could hear a pin drop in the room.

"..." Mo Hanshang closed his eyes and gently reached out his hand. The switch made a crisp sound, and the lights went out instantly, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

But Mo Hanyu did not feel any discomfort. After suddenly falling into darkness, he adapted to the dim environment in less than a second and could see every detail in the darkness.

Naturally, he could also see Mo Hanshang's flickering eyes.

"...Go to sleep." Mo Hanshang didn't say anything else, just lay down and turned around.

Mo Hanyu tightened his fingers slightly, his eyes darkened, but he still didn't say a word.

……

"Is your Wang family okay?" Nangong Huaxue couldn't help it and looked suddenly at the man next to her who was holding his chin and smiling with squinting eyes.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. It has been dealt with long ago." Wang Ji smiled brightly.

Nangong Huaxue gritted her teeth slightly, trying hard not to look so gritted.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Wang Ji looked a little surprised. "Didn't you say you wanted to handle the affairs yourself? Although Your Majesty is not very experienced at taking over, I believe you can overcome the difficulties."

Nangong Huaxue: ...

Nangong Huaxue looked at the mountain of metal plates at hand, her lips trembling slightly. She closed her eyes and remained silent for a while, as if she had made some decision. When she opened her eyes again, there was tenderness in her eyes.

"Look...it's already so dark." Nangong Huaxue smiled gently at Wang Ji, "Or you can take a rest first and do it tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow and tomorrow, Your Majesty. You should understand this principle better than I do." Wang Ji was unmoved.

Nangong Huaxue: ...

"There are only a few dozen pieces left anyway, and we'll be done with them in a while." Wang Ji estimated the number on the table and said.

Nangong Huaxue took a deep breath, gave up struggling, and worked hard.

Wang Ji watched by the side. When she finished marking a board, she would pick it up and take a look. She would put it down only when she felt there was no problem.

"...By the way." After marking the last board, Nangong Huaxue handed it to Wang Ji. She couldn't help but lie on the table, resting her cheek on her arm, and tilted her head to look at Wang Ji.

"I heard that some immortal appeared in Rongcheng. Is the news accurate?"

Wang Ji took a quick look and seeing that there was nothing wrong, he put it aside and looked at her.

"The people who came said that it suddenly appeared during the sacrifice, ran from the sea, seemed to have communicated with the priest, and then disappeared on the spot."

Wang Ji leaned back in his chair nonchalantly, looking down at her.

"Then...was there anything unusual when He appeared? Like wind and rain or something?" Nangong Huaxue blinked.

Wang Ji's lowered fingers trembled, and his eyes moved slightly: "Some people say that there is light flashing when He appears... Why do you ask that?"

"Isn't that what it says in the storybooks?" Nangong Huaxue said with a smile without hesitation, "When a god appears, there will be thunder, wind, rain, etc... strange phenomena from the sky."

"It's just a trick." Wang Ji smiled faintly, "It should be the attribute that's causing the trouble."

Nangong Huaxue's eyes moved slightly and she nodded.

The properties are really amazing.

Seeing that she was really interested, Wang Ji took out a small black metal cube, placed it on the table with the hole facing up, and pressed the button on the side: "It was recorded, you can take a look."

Nangong Huaxue was just casually glancing at it, but when she saw the projection, she couldn't help but be stunned and sat up straight.

The projected image is so clear that you can even see the faces of the people around you and count the hairs of the people next to you.

[You are offering sacrifice to me...right? ]

Yu'er's hesitant face was reflected in Nangong Huaxue's eyes. When she heard the voice and saw the dress, she couldn't help but be stunned.

She seemed to have heard that person mention that there was such a god...

A human body holding two snakes in his hands, with light coming in and out...

It seems his name is Yu'er.

"What's his name?" Nangong Huaxue watched the video in silence, then turned to ask Wang Ji.

"...I don't know." Wang Ji looked at her, his eyes seemed to shine with an inexplicable light under the light.

"I think there are two people working together, one showing up and the other cooperating." Wang Ji lowered his eyes and said slowly, "Your Majesty should not confuse the story with reality. To put it bluntly, those statues are the so-called spiritual sustenance. If self-awareness really exists..."

Wang Ji pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a half-sarcastic smile.

"There are many things in this world that you don't know. Why are you so sure?" Nangong Huaxue frowned slightly.

"Does your majesty think this is true?" Wang Ji smiled softly, and there was no clue. "Have you seen it, your majesty?"

...She had seen it before.

Nangong Huaxue did not answer and lowered her eyes.

Wang Ji knew that she did not agree with his point of view, but he did not argue with her. He just smiled and put his outer robe on her: "It's late at night, Your Majesty should go to bed early."

Nangong Huaxue then stood up, seeming to be thinking about something.

……

"Don't you believe it?"

Nangong Huaxue sat on the bed, looked at the man at the door, and finally spoke again.

"...I don't believe in God." Wang Ji seemed a little surprised, but still answered her and smiled at her, "Good night."

Having said that, he closed the door.

Nangong Huaxue was still a little dazed. She was the only one left in the huge bedroom. Sitting on the gorgeous and spacious bed, looking at the empty bedroom, the gentle scent of incense came to her nose. It was already autumn, but the bedroom was warm.

Nangong Huaxue raised her head and looked at the rose-purple gauze curtain hanging above her. She thought about something and then wrapped herself in the quilt and lay down.

……

"You little brat..."

Qin Xiao was woken up early in the morning. He looked at the Taotie who had run into his room and was fighting with Qiongqi, and sighed tiredly.

"What's wrong?" Qin Xiao sat up and looked tiredly at Taotie who was pressed under Qiongqi.

Both were young humanoids. Qiongqi held Taotie's chin with one arm and grabbed his hair with the other hand and started pulling.

Taotie was holding Qiongqi's hair in his mouth. When he heard Qin Xiao's question, he spat out the hair he had just pulled out and shouted, "How should I know? I just came to say goodbye, and he is like this-"

"Stop pretending." Qiongqi gritted his teeth and grabbed his cheek, "What's going on in my bed? Huh?"

When Taotie heard this, he belatedly realized what he had done last night. Feeling guilty, he avoided the gaze, pursed his lips and kept silent.

In fact, Qiongqi was not that angry. He pulled out Taotie's fur and then let him go.

"I'm leaving, and I came over to tell you, look how angry you are." Taotie rubbed his red face, feeling a little aggrieved.

"Get out of here." Qiongqi slapped him unhappily.

Taotie looked at Qin Xiao and waved at him: "Let's go."

Qin Xiao nodded and watched him leave.

Then he buried his head in the pillow.

"I'll sleep a little longer." Qin Xiao said, and fell asleep.

Qiongqi:......

Qin Xiao's plan to continue sleeping failed after all. Not long after Taotie left, Qin Jinyi knocked on his door.

"Come down to eat."

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao met Mo Hanyu when he went downstairs and greeted him.

"Are you going out?" Mo Hanyu looked at Qin Jinyi behind him and asked.

"Let's go eat." Qin Xiao said lightly.

"We are going too, shall we go together?" Mo Hanshang, who was beside Mo Hanyu, heard this and his eyes lit up, and he looked at Qin Jinyi.

Qin Jinyi paused and avoided his gaze: "...No."

Mo Hanyu looked at Mo Hanshang, then at Qin Jinyi, frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes.

Mo Hanshang was a little disappointed after getting the answer, but he didn't insist anymore and left with Mo Hanyu.

This hotel has a special restaurant, and breakfast is included. Qin Xiao followed Qin Jinyi to the restaurant and saw many things he had never seen before.

“These are cookies. They are delicious.”

Perhaps because he had seen Qin Xiao standing in front of him for too long, the chef wearing a hat introduced himself to him.

"Here we also have cream of mushroom soup, white fungus and lotus seed soup... Over there we have small cakes that you should like at your age, you can try them."

The chef smiled at Qin Xiao, took out the freshly baked biscuits from the oven which was heated to several hundred degrees with his bare hands, and shoveled them into the basket with a small spatula.

Qin Xiao took a look and finally picked a few with light taste and went back.

"There's a huge difference between here and Rongcheng." Qin Xiao returned to his seat and said to Qin Xiuyun.

"It's the imperial capital after all." Qin Jinyi smiled. "When I first came here, I couldn't close my jaw when I saw all this. But you're pretty calm."

"Are you okay?" Qin Xiao said, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Qiongqi coming over with dozens of stacks of food that were taller than him and putting them on the table.

Looking at the pile of food, Qin Jichen twitched his eyes and looked at Qiongqi: "These must be eaten up, they cannot be wasted."

Qiongqi looked at him strangely: "I know, the people over there have said it many times."

Qiongqi took a lot of meat and stuffed it into his mouth without even looking at it. Qin Xiao felt that there were many hidden eyes watching them, and he felt helpless for a moment.

"Will you all go out for a walk after dinner?" Qin Yun'an's eyes lit up. "I'm quite interested."

Qin Xiuyun glanced at him and said, "Ji Chen and I have something to do in Pet City. Jinyi, you can take the third brother and the others for a walk."

Qin Jinyi responded, looked at the excited Qin Yun'an, then looked at Qin Xiao whose face showed no emotion, and smiled.

When I returned to the hall, I happened to meet Mo Hanshang who was about to take Mo Hanyu out.

"Huh? What a coincidence, do you want to go together?" Mo Hanshang's eyes lit up when he saw Qin Jinyi, and he greeted him with a bright smile.

"Where are you going?" Qin Jinyi didn't see Father Mo and the others, so he asked, "Where are Uncle and the others?"

"Let's go shopping in Yun City." Mo Hanshang replied with a smile, "My mother said that she wanted to spend some time alone with my father, so she asked me to take my brother with me."

"By the way, who is this...?" Mo Hanshang had never seen Qin Yunan before. He wanted to ask when he saw him last night, but he never found the opportunity.

"Ah, hello. My name is Qin Yun'an." Qin Yun'an smiled at Mo Hanshang, "I guess I'm their uncle."

“Oh…” Mo Hanshang nodded with a respectful smile on his face, “Nice to meet you. My name is Mo Hanshang.”

"Where are you going?" Mo Hanyu walked up to Qin Xiao and asked him.

"I don't know, I haven't decided yet." Qin Xiao looked at Qin Jinyi and the others who were still chatting, and felt that he couldn't leave for a while, so he walked to the sofa next to him and sat down.

"What is Yun City?"

"It's a place similar to a market." Mo Hanyu sat down next to him. "There are two large markets here, the Pet Market and the Cloud Market. Pet Market mostly sells magical beast pets or magical pet hospitals, with magical beasts as the main focus. The Cloud Market is all about eating, drinking and having fun, with entertainment as the main focus."

"What's generally available in Yun City?" Qin Xiao half-lay on the sofa, looking at him.

Mo Hanyu pulled off the leather rope on Qin Xiao's head and pulled his hair to signal him to move closer to him. Qin Xiao did not resist, just rested his head on Mo Hanyu's legs and looked at him with his eyes open.

"There are casinos, street snacks... there are so many varieties, I can't list them all at once." Mo Hanyu combed Qin Xiao's hair lightly, divided it into several bundles, and braided them.

"You'll know when you see it." Mo Hanyu said, his fingers flexibly running through the ends of the hair, and he had finished braiding it in a short while.

Qin Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to him. He waited for Mo Hanyu to tie the rubber band and then sat up. A small bunch of braids hung down in front of his face, mixed in with the loose hair, and was faintly visible.

Shadows fell. Qin Xiao looked up, and Qin Jinyi squatted down and asked him: "Do you want to go with them?"

"It doesn't matter." Qin Xiao didn't care much about this, but for some reason, he glanced at Mo Hanshang, "Do you want to come together?"

Qin Jinyi didn't seem to expect him to ask back, and the look Qin Xiao gave Mo Hanshang made him pause. When Qin Xiao turned his gaze back, he pressed down on his heart that suddenly beat violently in his chest and smiled, "I can do it too."

As he said that, he stood up and looked at Mo Hanshang: "But senior, you come here often, right? I'm not very familiar with this place, can I trouble you to take care of me?"

Mo Hanshang raised his eyebrows unexpectedly and nodded without hesitation: "Of course."

Qin Jinyi looked at Qin Xiao again, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual in his eyes, he gradually felt relieved.

For some reason, he always felt that Qin Xiao had seen something.

Qin Jinyi thought of the way Qin Xiao looked at him and Mo Hanshang, and felt a little uneasy.
