Mistress's Promotion

Yu Ling stared blankly at the man in front of him, his eyes became moist involuntarily, he took a step forward in a daze, blood red tears suddenly slipped from the corner of his eyes, but he didn't seem to feel it, looked at the man opposite and murmured , "Li Zhu..."

Seeing his tears, the man seemed to be panicked, and hurried over to hug him, and wiped his eyes distressedly, "Xiao Jiuer, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Yu Ling leaned in his arms blankly, feeling the warmth of this man hugging her, raised her hand stiffly for a while, and hugged him little by little.The man lowered his head and kissed his eyes, coaxing him in a low voice, "Hey, don't cry, I'm here."

Yu Ling hugged him tightly, and said in a daze, "You...call me again."

"what?"

"Call me Xiaojiu again."

The man smiled softly, raised his hand to stroke his long hair, and called him softly, "Xiao Jiu."

His heart twitched violently, Yu Ling bit his lip tightly, buried his head on his chest, and his arms trembled slightly.He guarded this man's original body for 18 years, relying on the lost memories to support his dry life every day. The man who would hug him and kiss him tenderly is no longer there. He vented his heart by killing and fighting all day long. The pain is so painful, but I still can't stop the heartache like madness. It doesn't matter if he is the king of ghosts, or the lord of the wilderness, but the people who want to see can't see it, and the people who want to hug have already turned into dust.He searched for traces of that person day and night, disappointed day by day, despaired day by day, he just wanted to see this person's smiling face again, wanted to hug him again, wanted to hear this person call himself Xiaojiu again, that's all. It's just that, why is it so difficult to achieve?

Yu Ling buried her head in his arms, clutched his sleeves tightly with her fingers, and called him hoarsely, "Idiot, I miss you so much..."

The smile on Li Zhu's face suddenly dissipated. He raised his hand to caress Yu Ling's face, with a sad expression on his face, "Xiao Jiu, I'm sorry I left you alone." Lonely and heartbroken, "In fact, everything here is fake, and I am also fake, you know, right?"

Yu Ling bit her lip tightly, another line of blood and tears dripped down her face.Li Zhu lowered his head to kiss his tears, sucked them up little by little, then raised his head again, and smiled at him, "Kill me, this formation will be broken," he took his hand, and he bowed his head and kissed him. Kissed the back of his hand, "Kill me, then get out of here and live on."

Yu Ling almost bit his lips to bleed, he stared at the other side tightly, held the man's hand firmly, and suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "Will you be here forever?"

"Ok?"

"If I don't kill you, will you always be here with me?"

Li Zhu looked at him quietly, put his head in his arms for a while, pressed his warm lips against his ear, and kissed him lightly, "Yes, you will sleep here forever, and I will always be with you .”

Yu Ling smiled suddenly, he turned his head to meet his kiss, raised his arms around his neck, and leaned on him as before, "That's all right, I won't leave, and you don't want to leave either, we Just be together like this?"

Li Zhu hugged him who was rushing towards him, looked at him in silence for a while, then suddenly bent down and hugged him horizontally, and smiled softly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Being carried all the way to the small courtyard of the Li family, Yu Ling's eyes lit up, she jumped out of his arms and grabbed his hand, and said in surprise, "It's really exactly the same, even the lines on this well that I scratched are exactly the same. Woolen cloth."

Li Zhu smiled, pinched the bridge of his nose, "You have stayed in my house for 13 years, and you have scratched almost everything that can be damaged."

Yu Ling snorted, raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm showing mercy by not scratching anyone."

Li Zhu smiled and nodded his forehead, turned around and sat by the well and patted his thigh, "You used to like to sit here and bask in the sun."

Yu Ling tilted his head, smiled suddenly, turned around and turned into a big white cat and jumped onto his lap, then raised his head and squinted his eyes and gave him a "meow~", Li Zhu laughed and pinched its ears , pettingly said, "It's better to hug like this."

In the warm sunshine, one person and one cat sat quietly by the well, talking and laughing softly. The white cat’s tail happily patted on the man’s leg. , and then rubbed it coquettishly, meowing extremely sweetly.

It seems that time has really frozen here, that person seems to have really come back, Yu Ling sleeps in his arms every day, plays around with him, and lives extremely happily every day, he indulges in the familiar tenderness given by that person He gradually stopped thinking about whether it was true or not. He felt that this was very good. Life and death were no longer so important. He could hold this person's hand all the time and see him smiling at himself. He was already very satisfied.

Yu Ling was lying on the riverside, leaning on her chin and looking at Li Zhu who was catching fish for him in the river, shaking her legs and calling him, "Idiot, there were too many thorns in that one yesterday, I want to eat the one with the big fish head."

"Okay, wait a minute, am I looking for it?" Li Zhu scratched his head, hesitating while holding a fork, "but the fish here are all about the same..."

Yu Ling pursed her lips, raised her finger and pointed to the mountain in the distance, "How about we go over there and have a look?"

Li Zhu put away his fork and sighed, "Oh, if you didn't say it earlier, I've been catching it for a long time."

Yu Ling stood up and handed him his hand, "Why, dare to complain? Be careful, I'll beat you up!"

Li Zhu smiled helplessly, and was about to hold his hand and come up from the river when suddenly his body trembled and his brows frowned.Yu Ling was startled, and immediately got up and ran over to grab his arm, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Zhu snorted, and suddenly pressed his chest tightly and gasped for breath. Yu Ling hugged him in panic, and called him anxiously, "Idiot! Hey, Li Zhu! What's wrong with you!"

Several layers of phantoms slowly appeared in front of Li Zhu, and then his body gradually became transparent. Yu Ling's eyes widened, and he hurriedly hugged him, but a voice that was almost forgotten suddenly sounded not far away.

"Xiao Jiu!!" The voice was very urgent, gradually approaching from a distance, "Xiao Jiu! Get away from him! It's a phantom!"

When the words fell to the ground, Li Zhu in front of him slowly raised his head, showing him a very nostalgic smile, and then seemed to want to reach out to touch his cheek, but the moment he was about to touch him, his body shattered and disappeared, and The beautiful and peaceful scene in front of him also suddenly dissipated. Yu Ling stood in a daze with a pale face, and saw Xiao Sa standing in front of him holding an ice sword, with scarlet blood dripping from the tip of the sword, looking at him nervously, "Xiao Jiu, you Are you okay?"

Yu Ling stared blankly at the blood on the tip of his sword, her pupils trembled suddenly, and she raised her head to stare at Xiao Sa's equally pale face, "...you killed him?"

"...that's a phantom, not the one you love." Xiao Sa took a step closer to him and stretched out his hand, "This formation is too overbearing, but fortunately our two phantoms can be connected, so I can come to your phantom ..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Ling suddenly interrupted him, his voice was gloomy and cold, and he asked him word by word, "I'm asking you, did you kill him?"

Xiao Sa pursed her lips, suddenly withdrew her mana and retracted the ice sword, looked into his scarlet eyes and said calmly, "Xiao Jiu, wake up, it's all fake."

"Fake...hehe," Yu Ling suddenly smiled, but his eyes were icy cold, "So what if it's fake? Come back to reality, can you give him back to me?"

"Little Nine..."

"I finally waited for him, how dare you kill him..." Yu Ling's body slowly rose with a layer of fiery black flames, and his red eyes were about to bleed, "You killed him, haha, how dare you kill him?" he..."

"Xiao Jiu!" Xiao Sa stretched out his hand to grab his arm, his palm was burned by the flames on his body, but he still held it tightly with patience, and said anxiously, "Calm down, those are all illusions, why are you deceiving yourself and others."

"Get out!!" Yu Ling threw him away fiercely, and suddenly raised his hand to summon the magic sword, pointed the tip of the sword at Xiao Sa and said fiercely, "I told you not to meddle in your own business, if you are in such a hurry to die, I will help you!" you!!"

After all, Yu Ling waved the magic sword and slashed at him fiercely. Xiao Sa barely avoided it. His unrecovered body had reached the limit of breaking through two illusions. He staggered a few more steps to avoid the fierce blow of the magic sword. Offensive, but was hit hard in the chest by the flame condensed from Yu Ling's other hand. Yu Ling was absolutely crazy, and his move was fatal. Xiao Sa hesitated whether to fight back, but finally he couldn't bear it, he just raised his sword to resist in embarrassment.

Trying his best to dodge a few more fierce attacks, Xiao Sa finally couldn't hold it anymore, his feet were weak, and he was pierced through the waist and abdomen by the magic sword. He couldn't help screaming, but the magic sword immediately came from him Withdrawing from the body, he pierced hard towards his heart again. Xiao Sa looked at the sword tip that was close at hand, and finally gave up resistance, fell to the ground and closed his eyes.

But the expected pain did not come, he endured the severe pain and struggled to open his eyes, and saw that Yu Ling's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, the tip of the sword touched his heart, cut through the skin, but did not stab, Xiao Sa struggled Looking at him intently, he asked hoarsely, "Why don't you do it?"

Yu Ling stared at him, the flames around his eyes were burning fiercely, "Why didn't you fight back!"

Xiao Sa felt that the person in front of him was a bit blurred, he took a breath while enduring the pain, and smiled wryly, "Xiao Jiu."

"..."

"I just... saw the past between you and that person in the illusion..." Xiao Sa gritted his teeth and slowly propped up his body, leaning his back on the stone wall and muttering, "He called you Xiaojiu... So it was because of him Calling you Xiaojiu..." Speaking incoherently, Xiao Sa raised his heavy eyelids and looked at him quietly, "You... recognized me as him, didn't you?"

The tip of the sword in front of him trembled more and more, Xiao Sa tugged at the corner of his mouth again, showing a slight smile helplessly, "I'm sorry, I was poisoned that day, I accidentally... hurt you, made you misunderstand, really... ...I'm sorry..." Xiao Sa slowly raised his hand, held the burning magic sword weakly, pressed down the tip of the sword, trying to see Yu Ling's face clearly, "But, I don't regret it..."

Finally unable to hold on any longer, he slowly closed his eyes, revealing a self-deprecating smile, "Xiao Jiu, although... you misidentified the person, but I... I am...really..." He took a few breaths, He raised his head against the wall and spat out a few words with his last breath.

"Xiao Jiu, I like you..."

The sound of the sword falling to the ground seemed to be heard in his ears, and Xiao Sa couldn't open his eyes any longer, but the scene in the illusion that made him feel distressed once again appeared in his mind - the boy holding the lazy little white cat in his arms , lifted it into the air and shook it a few times, the kitten stretched its limbs, shook its beard and flicked its tail, squinted its eyes and meowed happily, the boy also laughed, hugged the cat into his arms again, and put his cheek on the cat's face. I rubbed against it, reached out and pinched its ears, and said with a light smile, "Xiao Jiu, you're really getting fatter..."

Xiao Sa felt as if his body was falling into a somewhat familiar embrace. He couldn't help but hooked the few strands of hair that fell on his palm, just like in the illusion, showing a gentle smile, and whispered, "Jiu'er..."
