[Douluo] Dream of Thorns

When she woke up the next day, Ji Tong did feel some tears in the corners of her eyes; this made her a little surprised, she thought she was not so vulnerable anymore, when she lost control of her emotions before, she insisted on snatching people from the Xingluo royal family instead of being sad Booming is an example.But I probably cried the night before, so my heart is indeed calmer now.Then it was to check the vines that did not fall at night and deal with the fresh corpses, and everything was as usual.Only this time, it seemed that someone had moved the trap she set, but she didn't feel it at all.This is scary, which means that she probably died yesterday—this is probably a guy whose soul power is twenty levels above hers, and he has no ill intentions toward her—she is still relatively sensitive to killing intent.

But what does this person want to do?

There is nothing on her that can be used, except for the body of a young girl; the part that can be changed is familiar for no reason, and there is always a sense of intimacy in the subconscious, which has to make her think of some illusion class trap.This made her feel insecure, so the scheduled itinerary was postponed as a matter of course; then, after she had been nestled in the house for a day with sufficient resources and did not go out, there were footsteps outside the door, and the back door was knocked.

"Miss, my master invites you to come over."

Oh, it seems that this change is intended to lure her out, and the person who sent the message seems to be someone she found on the spur of the moment if she didn't cooperate.

Since saying yes, it is better than smashing the door without saying anything.Just for this, Ji Tong gave a pretty good attitude, and he came down five steps away to open the door with Thorn Rose himself, without seeming particularly defensive.Outside was a boy in his early twenties, holding something that looked like an invitation in his hand, bowing to her. "My master invites you to catch up on the old days, there is no malice." He passed the paper in his hand forward, "This is an invitation card, please accept it, miss."

Ji Tong was taken aback.No matter how uncoordinated this kind of polite speech appeared in the capital of killing, it made her a little uncomfortable.Waving a vine, he rolled the paper over and closed the door, Ji Tong said, "Wait, I'll take a look first." The boy also agreed, and just stood guard at the door without any other changes.

It's really inexplicable.Ji Tong looked down while thinking this way, the vines of Thorn Rose naturally formed a defensive formation around her.This invitation card is handwritten, and the paper looks a bit old, as if it has been in the style for more than ten years; but it is indeed a paper product more than ten years ago.Ji Tong vaguely remembered seeing similar paper in Meng Xuanyue's room, it was the kind of hard paper with complicated patterns around it, and the one with small blank spaces was useless except for writing short sentences.There was a flower stuck to the paper, and with Ji Tong's blood, she could bet that it was a thorn rose -- fresh and just blooming.

There is not even a blade of grass here.

Oh, of course, this paper is not the point, the point is the text.The polite words were omitted, and she couldn't believe the rest of the content. "Family banquet... this is my mother?" The invitation was not signed, she turned the paper over and read it twice, but couldn't find any other words.She had left her mother since she was three years old, and she didn't recognize her mother's handwriting at all, so she couldn't tell if it was true or not.It's just that this rose thorn is indeed real, and there is no way to grow anything in the capital of killing. This should be the spirit developed by the rose rose thorn soul master.Biting her lip and thinking for less than half a minute, Ji Tong let out a "tsk".

Just go, since the eight-ring soul master can handle everything in her hands, if something goes wrong, there is still time to run.Furthermore, she had never heard of the third Thorn Rose soul master, and the chances of the boy's master being her mother were quite high.

Go check it out.As she said this to herself, her heart beat faster.It is really not easy to break the blood relationship, even though she had no feelings for this woman before, the reunion after ten years of separation still made her blood boil.Opening the door again, her tone became more formal: "I've been waiting for a long time. Please lead the way, how about it?"

After that, it took half a moment to shuttle back and forth in the town, and it seemed that the destination was quite close to her temporary residence.The boy seemed to be very strong, or the people behind him were very strong, but no one shot at these two people along the way, which is also strange in the inner city.The owner's house is quite a beautiful house, quite big, with a small yard, which looks very luxurious in the inner city.The inner city is actually quite small. Just looking at the size of the house and its glamorous appearance, the owner of the house is not bad.The boy stopped after seeing her at the door, saying that he was not qualified to set foot inside and had to let her go in by herself; the place was not hard to find, just go straight through the door.

The yard was so big and it was still empty, and she had to go alone, which was actually very suitable for burying the mechanism; but she had already come here, and it was inappropriate to raise objections.What's more, on the opposite side is a mother who may be her mother who has been looking for for several years. If she doesn't enter the door, no one will be able to see her.However, precautions must be taken. The thorny rose was tangled up in a ball in his hand, and Ji Tong took a deep breath and took a step.

Then it started running around the yard.

This really has a trick, it's quite difficult, but it's not fatal, it seems like it's for testing strength or training.Ji Tong understood, and after he stabilized his mind, he whipped the vine in his hand and cleared the field with the corrosive venom on the barbs.Then the next round of attack, the difficulty increased visible to the naked eye.

"Is there an upgrade?" She cursed, and with a little tiptoe, she moved forward a long way.Then she found that the idea of ​​the courtyard arrangement was very similar to that of Meng Xuanyue's gatekeeper's alley mechanism, so the processing was much smoother.Of course, in return, she didn't use the agility she had practiced in Meng Xuanyue's place for so many years to hide, but destroyed a lot of things in return to prove her strength.Then she finally entered the door unscathed. Standing at the door was a rather bold woman in a tube top and short skirt.

Looks quite like her.

Ji Tong was still awake at the time, glanced at the chasing □□ and remembered to take a step forward and close the door.The woman nodded, with an enchanting aura different from Meng Xuanyue's. "That's right, you have brains, and you can see through your strength. I haven't lost my reputation." She sighed, stepped forward, pulled Ji Tong into her arms, hugged her tightly and clasped the back of her head, "This You can find the age by yourself...you are better than your father."

The woman was shaking, very violently; she was not afraid, of course, but excited.Ji Tong was also very excited, but she was not used to showing such emotions now, so she hugged back silently and patted the woman on the back twice.The blood connection is almost like cheating, and she can't let go of it. She only needs to look at each other, and she knows that this is a relative who is connected with her blood.

This is her mother, she has never seen it, but she knows it.

The woman hugged her for 2 minutes before she let out a long breath and let her go. "I didn't expect you to find me." She took Ji Tong's hand and walked into the room, twisting her waist with a surprisingly natural seductiveness. "Everyone can come to the city of killing. I didn't expect you to dare to come." She said with a chuckle. "At that time, I was young and frivolous, and I caused too much trouble. After hiding outside for a few years, I regretted getting you involved, so I had to find such a dangerous place—I didn't expect you to come after me, it was mine. kind."

"The trouble you caused back then?" Ji Tong turned to look at her.

"I'll explain to you later, eat first, and then talk about these unhappy things after eating." She raised her head, "The food in the capital of killing is basically poisonous, how about some normal food for you today?"

Ji Tong was stunned for a moment. "poisonous?"

The woman glanced at her coquettishly. "Toxic. Don't stand by the door, come and sit down." She pulled out the chair, turned around and walked across the table, "Killing City probably has a chronic poison like a stimulant. It can be found everywhere, including Food and water. The rose of thorns is addicted to poison, and you won’t experience toxin deposition—there is also a short-term effect. You probably want to kill people recently, right?”

Ji Tong let out a sluggish ah, and sat down a little restrained in the past.The table was filled with home-cooked dishes, and the woman picked up a chopstick for her, smiling softly. "You must know who I am?" She has a kind of submissive temperament at this moment, but it doesn't show it, it can't be seen that she has a child. "Yue'er should have told you."

"Ah? Ah..." Ji Tong didn't react at first, but later realized that it was Meng Xuanyue. "I said, I remember you, you are my mother. Oh yes, she also said..."

"Huh?" The other side blinked.

Ji Tong tilted his head and thought for a while, a faint smile appeared on his face. "Sister Meng said at the time, 'When you see Qiang'er, take a good look at her for me; she has told me to raise her delicately all these years, and there was no treatment around when she was recruited, so don't ruin your body. It’s gone.” She also said that mother didn’t miss her in the capital of killing for so long, and she’s going to blame you.”

Ji Qiang'er chuckled, and the corners of her eyes flashed with dots of light. "Tell me about how you have lived these years." Her eyes were still watery and foggy.

Ji Tong chatted with Ji Qiang'er while eating, and told her how she had lived in the past few years.From the age of three or four, the female workers of the Rose Hotel, how Meng Xuanyue trained her at the age of six, and was taken back to work as a waiter at the age of nine. When I was 11 and a half years old, I went to school, had my own friends, and joined a very reliable team——

There is someone I like, and now that person is getting married.

At first she was emotionally stable, really stable.The matter of being six or seven years old has long passed, maybe everyone who touched her at that time died at her hands.But later, when talking about Shrek, she felt uncomfortable.She said that she divided the dormitory and the two-on-two partner in the soul fighting arena. Her partner even gave her the nickname in Shrek called Xiang Luo Die Wu, and the other partners looked shocked; she said that the two of them trained together She eats and sleeps together, and her roommate doesn't say a word of nonsense, but now she has a good look at people's eyes.

She began to cry as she spoke, and she began to cry as she spoke.Ji Qiang'er was so frightened that she didn't even care about the dishes on her chopsticks, she stood up and arrived at Ji Tong's side as if teleported, and she took out a small handkerchief from somewhere to wipe her face, the fragrance and pattern At first glance, the fabric was embroidered by Meng Xuanyue for her, and she has been wearing it on her body for more than ten years.Ji Tong didn't do anything else, and let her wipe her head up, with a blank look in her eyes.She also told Ji Qiang'er that they wanted to combine schools when they ran out of money, but they were frightened by the title Douluo, and their blood was not suppressed. At that time, only her roommate believed that she could restrain Thorn Rose's instinct. Said that after the start of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, her roommate was not so close to her, and her soul skills could not be inserted into the team, and she could not play.She talked a lot, crying.

Meng Xuanyue is her leader, the woman who raised her, not her mother, she can't be so vulnerable to Meng Xuanyue; before, she could only be weak to Zhu Zhuqing for a while, and she had to bear the rest by herself with.It's different now, her mother is in the same room with her, and she has blood relatives.

Now Ji Tong almost cried out all the bitterness of more than ten years.Ji Qiang'er looked distressed, and went to coax her, just like coaxing the three-year-old girl back then.Ji Qiang'er doesn't know how to coax children, she can tell from the fact that she called her daughter over to meet her before entering the door and went to the yard to check her strength; she hasn't seen a child living under the sun for a long time.Ji Tong cried for such a time, as if she had made up for her all those years ago.

Ji Tong cried so hard, it was probably because of Zhu Zhuqing.When I was a classmate, I didn't feel it at all, and later I didn't have time to pour it carefully. When I told Ji Qiang'er today, she realized that Zhu Zhuqing really took too much weight.Her normal life started from entering school on the [-]th, and ended at the [-]th back to the Black Street. From the beginning to the end, there was Zhu Zhuqing's shadow, and this girl was always with her.The more she talked, the more uncomfortable she felt, as if all the emotions that had been suppressed by the blood pressure in the black street returned, from Wen Wen's quiet tears to her out of breath crying in fragmented speech.Ji Qiang'er sat next to her and listened to her cry, reached out to hold Ji Tong in her arms, and whispered like an ordinary housewife, saying it's okay to cry, mother is here.
