The group's beloved wife: She is the phoenix, she is the king

In a dilemma, I still look to the light. ——Inscription

She looked carefully at the cell where Lu Xintao was detained. There were messy footprints and signs of fighting in the cell, and it could be vaguely discerned that a fierce conflict had taken place in the cell.

There are also mottled marks on the wall, and there is still some remaining strength.

Without deliberately looking for it, Fan Nuoxi could tell that it was left by her.

"That young man just told me that I beat Lu Xintao unilaterally. How come I didn't know that I could be so powerful?" Fan Nuoxi looked at her clean white hands, then looked at the mess in the cell, and said in surprise.

Suddenly, Fan Nuoxi noticed a slight sound in the cell. She subconsciously entered the cell and used magic to investigate.

Soon, Fan Nuoxi found the source of the sound.

She came to the wall with the most scars and looked at the bumpy surface where several tiny insects were gnawing at the power she had left behind.

One or two of them were even burping with satisfaction, which was a naked provocation to Fan Nuoxi.

"Look, I'm not going to punish you today!"

As Fan Nuoxi spoke, he cast a spell to freeze those things, and then put them all into small bottles one after another.

After a while, the storage bag that Fan Nuoxi used to hold these insects bulged visibly.

Fan Nuoxi's head was buzzing as he looked at this thing, but this was not the end.

After a short rest, Fan Nuoxi walked out of the cell and set up a tracing formation. Some things that happened in the cell reappeared before Fan Nuoxi's eyes.

When the scene reappeared, the acupoints that Fan Nuoxi had sealed herself seemed to suddenly become ineffective, her pupils slowly turned red again, and red lines appeared faintly on her face.

"puff--"

Fan Nuoxi couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood, but his eyes became clear again.

She subconsciously lifted her sleeves and looked at her arms, where there were still red lines that had not yet faded. "Is this what happened when I lost control?"

She quickly fixed several acupuncture points on her arm, stabilized the red lines within a certain range, then took out a silver needle and gave it a few injections. The moment the silver needle was taken out, a small stream of blood that was different from the usual color flowed out. Fan Nuoxi quickly took out a porcelain bottle and filled it with magic.

The movements were done in one go, as if they had been rehearsed at some point.

After she untied the acupoints on her arms, her tense nerves seemed to relax suddenly, and beads of sweat appeared on her arms.

Fan Nuoxi felt her body becoming weak again, and this time she suddenly fell to the ground and was unable to get up.

She looked at the porcelain bottle in her hand, feeling sad and not knowing how to feel about it.

After putting the porcelain bottle into the spirit ring, Fan Nuoxi waved his hand to pause the formation, closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing on the spot.

In this way, Fan Nuoxi actually spent a whole half day regulating his breathing here.

During this half day, Fan Nuoxi's physical abnormalities kept recurring, but they were always slowly suppressed invisibly.

After she had almost recovered, Fan Nuoxi opened her eyes with some complexity, stood up by instinct, and walked step by step towards the cell where the Skull was detained.

While she was regulating her breathing, she could always feel an extremely gentle force faintly coming from the cell, nourishing her carefully.

She also used this power to repair her internal organs and meridians, which had lost a lot of blood.

As soon as she recovered, she found that her perception and desire for that power became stronger, so she had to go and see what was going on.

In front of the skull's cell.

The skull, which had not been seen for most of the day, now looked very different from before.

Orange lines appeared on his brow bones and ribs, with obvious fluctuations of power.

The glittering lines between his brow bones were like a sprout breaking through the soil, or like a lively little deer. Every time he had an attack, his bones would seem to be polished, bright but not scary.

The skull was sitting cross-legged, its entire body faintly emitting an orange halo, which seemed quite abrupt under the light of the cell.

He seemed to come from another world and shouldn't be trapped in this small place.

This is what Fan Nuoxi thought after he was stunned.

Perhaps some changes in him attracted Fan Nuoxi so much that she didn't even notice that the pendant she was holding in her hand was faintly flickering on the center of the skull.

Seeing this, Fan Nuoxi didn't want to leave for a moment, but she also felt that it was not suitable for her to stay here.

Until the skull suddenly restrained its momentum and opened his beautiful jasmine yellow eyes.

Yes, those were a pair of beautiful eyes. Compared with the previous blue eyes that had a bit of demonic or even evil spirit, these eyes exuded some warmth and were indescribably pleasing to the eye.

"Is it you... who's back?" The skull looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief, hesitating to speak.

Fan Nuoxi was obviously a little hesitant and surprised, "Do we... know each other?"

There didn't seem to be anything bad about him, but he just had a kind of magic that attracted her.

Just seeing him from across the cell made her feel happy and warm.

"How about we get to know each other again?" The skull smiled embarrassedly.

"Hello, my name is Fan Nuoxi." The moment Fan Nuoxi said his name, something suddenly flashed through his mind, and some words came out of his mouth subconsciously, "Fan of cage, Nuo of promise, Xi of dawn."

After saying this, Fan Nuoxi's brain went blank for a moment.

I subconsciously understood something in my heart.

So, is this my real name?

The flourishing flowers that Ruochen had mentioned to her that day actually had a deeper meaning...

"Fan--Nuo--Xi, your name is very nice!" The skull recited it, his eyes flashing with joy. Then he remembered something and said in distress, "I... I don't have a name. Can you give me a name? Any name is fine. As long as it's yours, I like it."

Fan Nuoxi tilted her head, not agreeing, "Why do you want me to name you?"

The skull was visibly embarrassed, and its beautiful eyes did not dare to look directly at Fan Nuoxi, "Because... because... you are a very nice person!"

Why was she looking at me so blankly? Had she forgotten what happened in the cell before?

But it’s better to forget it, because I will always scare her if I’m like that.

I'm lucky that she's still willing to talk to me, so I shouldn't embarrass her...

The skull saw that Fan Nuoxi's eyes were wandering after hearing what he said, and he felt a little lost.

But what he didn't know was that Fan Nuoxi could hear his thoughts and was wondering why he was thinking these things.

After a long silence, Fan Nuoxi spoke slowly.

"If you are willing to be my friend, I will give you a name, and then you can leave here and see the bigger world outside."

"If you have any concerns, why don't we both calm down and keep the proper distance between strangers, but I will still let you leave here."

The moment Fan Nuoxi finished speaking, the skull asked the choice he wanted in his heart, "Nuoxi, can we really be friends?"

"Why not? You are locked up here because of something wrong."

"You don't hate the people who locked you up, but are getting better. Why can't you have a chance to start over and embrace a new life?"

"Now the opportunity is right in front of you, are you willing to embrace a new life?"

Fan Nuoxi patiently and kindly persuaded.

But Fan Nuoxi didn't know that every word he said was like a trickle of water nourishing the skull's long-silent heart.

"Nuoxi, I want to be your friend."

The skull looked at the woman in front of him with eager eyes, as if he was afraid that he would regret it if he didn't say it.

"Oh, you are really... You can obviously fly solo, but you have to come and hang out with me." Fan Nuoxi teased as he looked at the skull's eager eyes.

The skull grinned, "Didn't you suggest that I embrace a new life?"

"Then you mustn't regret it!" Fan Nuoxi stretched out her little finger to him.

The skull cooperated well and stretched out its finger bones to hook with Fan Nuoxi, "A gentleman's word is as good as a promise. Please give me more advice in the future."
