These are feudal superstitions!

tick-

tick-

In the dark stone room, water dripped from time to time.

Although it was dark and damp here, it was unexpectedly empty, and even so, it still gave people a gloomy feeling.

This is the dungeon of Ji's family, and all the detainees in it are desperadoes who committed heinous crimes.

But the innermost cell held only one young man.

Looking at his figure, he was a little slender and weak. If he hadn't taken off his coat, he would have thought he was very healthy.

He lowered his head and closed his eyes. Although the eyelashes were not long, they were very thin. His pale face was bloodless and his hair was messy, but it could still be seen that he was a very handsome young man.

There were footsteps in the empty corridor.

The visitor gradually approached the young man, and he opened his eyes. His dark, extinguished eyes suddenly glowed with a gleam of light. He has been locked here for three months, completely separated from the outside world, and knows nothing.

The visitor is the second daughter of the Ji family, Ji Shenyue.

She pushed open the heavy black iron gate and looked at the young man in front of her. Rong Gui was once invincible, even in trouble, he was still optimistic and confident, but now he is as gloomy as if he had exhausted his life.

She hesitated for a moment, and then said, "My sister is missing. Some people said that they saw her in the Dragon Burial Pond. She was in a strange state of mind. Afterwards, she went towards the ice sea. She left a seal for me. Believe me, she's afraid that... she couldn't stand her own sins, so she died on her own..."

Ronggui was silent.

Ji Shenluo's death didn't have much impact on him.

"The leader of Yuzi, the leader of Sword Spirit, and the senior brothers of the two sects..."

Rong Gui still didn't respond, but the look in his eyes dimmed a bit.

He finally opened his mouth and asked the question that made him want to go crazy: "Junior Brother... Qi Sheng, is he okay?" Since he is still alive, Qi Sheng will be fine, right?

"The Demon Emperor was buried in the Dragon Pond and sank to the ground. If it lays eggs, it may be able to be reborn."

"Rebirth... Isn't that a feudal superstition?" Rong Gui murmured.

"You do not believe?"

"I don't believe in rebirth, I only believe in him."

Ji Shenyue was a little moved, but she still gritted her teeth and said the cruel truth: "It takes at least a thousand years for the demon emperor to lay eggs, you can't wait."

"...Ah, what a pity." Rong Guiqiang smiled and let out a breath.

"And Moxiu will be killed in three days." Ji Shenyue said these words, as if exhausting all her strength.

"Is that so..."

Silence.

Dead silence, only the sound of water ticking from time to time.

"Qi Sheng, what did you say in the end?" Rong Gui asked, this was what he wanted to know the most, he didn't understand lip language, so he didn't know what Zhao Qi Sheng said last.

"He said he didn't blame you."

Rong Gui was stunned.

Ji Shenyue exited the cell in silence, the sound of her footsteps fading away.

Rong Gui finally cried aloud, the first time he cried heart-piercingly, crying hoarsely.

The tears shed were for the person I will never see again, and the words of that person——

"Brother, I don't blame you."

The author has something to say:

In this time and space, it is destined that the two cannot be together.

The particularity of their bloodlines has already predestined such an ending.

but--

Mumu is not a stepmother!

Do you still remember the primary school boy (crossed out) by Daming Lake?
