"That's the story." Dongze looked at Shen Budu and the others sarcastically, "May I ask the elders, what would you do if you encountered this kind of thing? If your most important person was killed, would you be magnanimous?" , Forgive those black-hearted executioners regardless of previous suspicions?"

Shen Budu was speechless for a moment.

Although Xie Jianhuan didn't say anything, he already had the answer in his heart.If someone dared to hurt Shen Budu like this, even if he cut him into pieces, he might not be able to explain the hatred in his heart.

Speaking of which, he hasn't had time to settle the account of the Li brothers.

As if aware of his suddenly cold breath, Shen Budu moved closer to him, patted his back lightly, and asked Dongze, "So you cursed the townspeople of Lanhai?"

"I wanted to kill those people, but then someone came to me and said that there is a better way to make those people's lives worse than death."

Shen Budu immediately grasped the key point: "Who is that person?"

"I don't know." Dongze said indifferently, "I don't know her, and I don't know her name. I just want revenge, and I don't care about anything else."

The mysterious man taught him the gossip spell and the wrong way to break it.He told Zhao Cong the wrong way, and watched the curse intensify, sweeping half of Lanhai Town, like a raging fire, burning all those who deserved it beyond recognition.

The curse has expanded to this extent, and there is no way to lift it.Zhao Cong will be tortured to death, and others will have to spend years or even longer to atone for their sins with red sores all over their bodies, crying and confessing in pain and torture day and night.

The evil people got retribution, but the life of the good people could not come back.

The boy he was waiting for would never be able to wait.

Thinking of this fact, Dongze's heart felt extremely painful. With hatred on his face, he walked towards Song Ruohong who was paralyzed on the ground step by step.

Song Ruohong was tied up by Wuhuada, and couldn't run away. Under Dongze's cold eyes, he was so frightened that he almost lost his voice. He kowtowed and frantically begged for mercy: "Don't kill me... I know I was wrong! I'm sorry Xun'er, it's me—"

His voice stopped abruptly, the throat was punctured by sharp scales, and blood splashed on his face with tearing eyes.

"Don't mention his name." Dongze pulled out the scales and said in disgust, "You don't deserve it."

Song Ruohong's body fell to the ground silently and gradually became stiff.

The three people present could actually stop Dongze, but none of them made a move.Dongze also realized this, and slightly eased his attitude towards Shen Budu and the others: "What else do you want to ask?"

Shen Budu motioned Xie Jianhuan to show him the Heavenly Demon Crystal: "Do you know there is such a thing in Lanhai?"

Dong Ze glanced at it, and said truthfully: "It didn't happen before, it appeared about a year ago. The smell from this thing is very dangerous, and I have never taken the initiative to approach it."

He thought of something, hesitated and said: "It seems that after the person who told me the curse appeared, it also appeared."

Shen Budu was thoughtful.

"If it's okay, I'll go back." Although the three monks in front of him were not like the ones he had seen before, Dongze still didn't want to spend more time with humans, so he turned and walked towards the sea.

Feng Ce suddenly stopped him at this moment: "Wait."

Dongze turned his head, looking a little wary.He was just under the sea, and it was this person who caught him up, so he didn't have a good impression of him: "What are you doing?"

Feng Ce: "Do you still have Song Xun's body?"

"...Naturally." Mentioning Song Xun, Dong Ze's tone was much lighter, "I hid him at the bottom of the sea, and no one will bother him again."

"The shark beads in your body can bring back the souls that haven't dispersed." Feng Ce asked, "Would you like to give it a try?"

Dong Ze was stunned for a moment, with an unbelievable look on his face, and his fingers were trembling for a moment: "You...what did you say?!"

It was also the first time for Shen Budu to hear about it.

"But you should know that the shark bead is the most important thing in a shark's body. Once you take it out, you will no longer enjoy an almost unlimited lifespan, and you will become mediocre and fragile like ordinary people." Feng Ce said, "And Song Xun died. It has been a year, if the soul has dissipated, then there is no way to recover, but the shark beads you took out cannot be restored."

"It's a gamble. Tell me the answer after you think about it."

Dongze blurted out almost without hesitation: "I am willing! I am willing to give it a try!"

At that moment, he actually thought a lot, and even guessed that perhaps this human being just wanted the shark beads in his body, so he made up such a clumsy lie.

But he still couldn't resist the temptation and agreed.

Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance to be true, there is a one out of ten thousand chance that Song Xun can come back to life, not to mention the shark bead, even if it takes his life, he is willing to give it a try!

Feng Ce seemed not surprised that Dong Ze would agree, so he nodded and asked Dong Ze to bring Song Xun's body over.

Dongze couldn't wait to go, and even staggered a bit when he ran to the sea.

Shen Budu watched the shark disappear into the sea, raised his eyebrows at Feng Ce: "When did you become so enthusiastic?"

Feng Ce seems to have a gentle temper, but Shen Budu is well aware of this friend's nature, he is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, he never likes to join in the fun and meddle in other people's affairs, and has a strong purpose in everything he does.Feifeng Pavilion is a first-class intelligence agency in the world, and countless people visit it every day to ask for help. Feng Ce does not completely refuse to accept commissions, but every business must be exchanged with items he likes.

It is impossible to say that Feng Ce was moved by Dong Ze's story.

Feng Ce has seen many similar things, he is not a person full of sympathy.

So Shen Budu didn't expect that he would take the initiative to rescue him.

Feng Ce smiled indifferently, and wrote lightly: "Perhaps I have some similarities with him."

Similarities?

Shen Budu frowned slightly, but seeing that he didn't explain further, he didn't ask further.

Dongze came back soon, holding a boy in his arms.He didn't know what method he used, Song Xun's body was well preserved, and it remained in that 17-year-old forever, with a beautiful and clean face, without any trace of pain.

He carefully placed Song Xun on the ground, and nervously asked Feng Ce: "What should I do?"

Feng Ce only said: "Be patient."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand, the palm of his hand glowed slightly red, and took out the shark bead from Dong Ze's body.

This process was extremely painful, but luckily it was quick enough. Dongze was covered in cold sweat and lay on the ground exhausted, watching Feng Ce sink the shark bead into Song Xun's body.

Everyone looked at the young man on the ground without blinking their eyes, Shen Budu held his breath unconsciously, and was comforted by Xie Jianhuan and tightly held his palm.

After a long time, so long that people couldn't help but start to feel uneasy, Song Xun's little finger moved, and then he opened his eyes in confusion.

Shen Budu heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't help laughing softly, while Dongze burst into tears instantly, regardless of the pain in his body, he forced himself to crawl to Song Xun's side, and hugged him into his arms with sobs.

"Ah Ze?" Song Xun's eyes widened, he was confused and confused, "I... I remember that I seemed to be dead, and I saw the underworld..."

"But I still can't bear it." The young man thought he was still dreaming, and gently wiped away Dongze's tears with his hand, "I know you are waiting for me..."

"I've been waiting for you, I've been waiting for you." Dongze smiled and shed tears, "Finally God has mercy on me and didn't treat me too cruelly."

He hugged Song Xun and looked deeply at Feng Ce: "How can I repay you?"

Feng Ce smiled, and only gave them four words:

"Live well."

-

Dong Ze is no longer a mermaid, but an ordinary person like Song Xun.

The two never returned to Lanhai Town, and after thanking Shen Budu and the others, they left hand in hand.

Maybe, as they agreed before, go to a peaceful and secluded place to live freely; or maybe go to a more lively place to see a different scenery.After all, without the identity of a mermaid, although Dongze can no longer live in the ocean, he can finally walk in the sun openly and aboveboard.

No matter which option they choose, I believe they can live a good life.

Feng Ce also bid farewell to Shen Budu.

"Although I really want to stay with you for a while longer, there are things in the pavilion that I need to go back to deal with." Feng Ce sighed, "Speaking of it, I still feel a little envious of you, seeing how free you are now."

Shen Budu was noncommittal.The days since his rebirth were indeed the most comfortable time for him.

He hooked his lips and patted his friend's shoulder: "I will look for you when I return to Shangling. Remember to prepare good wine then."

"That's natural." Feng Ce looked at him with a smile, "You can go back with me now, I promise to let you drink enough."

Before Shen Budu could speak, Xie Jianhuan's indifferent gaze had already swept over.

At this time, the three of them had left the ancient town of Lanhai and arrived in Puzhou, which is like spring all the year round.Autumn is already chilling in other places, but due to the special terrain and climate, Puzhou still retains the distinct characteristics of spring. The willows beside the bridge are still dark green, stretching their vigorous branches and leaves under the warm sun on a sunny day.

Feng Ce glanced past Xie Jianhuan's unkind face, and said to Shen Budu in a gentle voice: "A'Du, I have something to tell you."

Shen Budu paused, turned his head to signal Xie Jianhuan to wait for him for a while, and walked to a gazebo at the end of the small bridge together with Feng Ce.

There is no one else in the small pavilion, the vermilion lacquered railings are slightly mottled, and the red peonies are in full bloom, clusters of which are closely next to each other, quietly exuding fragrance.

Feng Ce stepped into the gazebo, turned around to look at Shen Budu, and spread out his palm to him, revealing a delicate and shiny jade gourd: "Do you still remember this?"

Shen Budu's gaze paused, and he couldn't help laughing: "Do you still keep it?"

He and Feng Ce are the only two god-level refiners in the world, and they are both high-ranking and powerful. They lack almost everything, and there is nothing that can be given to each other.One time, Shen Budu was refining weapons with Feng Ce at Feng Ce's place, and was bored while waiting for the tools to be completed, so he took a piece of leftover jade and played with carving with a knife.

A few days ago on a whim, Lu Danxu brought him a vine gourd to plant in the yard. Shen Budu looked cute, subconsciously carved a few strokes, and a plump and exquisite small gourd jade ornament appeared in his palm.

Feng Ce saw it at the time, and came over excitedly: "This is good. Can A'Du send me off?"

"Do you like this?" Shen Budu was surprised, and said with a smile, "It's too simple, I'll carve a good one for you sometime."

"This is very good." Feng Ce took the small gourd in his palm, tied it with a rope and put it in his arms, and said with a smile, "I like it very much."

Shen Budu thought he was just saying it casually, but he didn't expect to keep it until now.

"I always carry it with me, and I think of you when I see it." Feng Ce lowered his eyes, "Especially during the time when you were not around."

Shen Budu's heart skipped a beat, knowing that he was talking about after his death in his previous life.

"When the news came, I couldn't believe it, until I saw your coffin in the Tianya Canghai Gate." Feng Ce said softly, "I didn't enter the crafting room again for a month because I was restless, Burned out several stoves."

The number one craftsman in the world would burn out the stove clumsily, and other people might laugh, but Shen Budu felt a little depressed, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

He knew that Feng Ce was sincerely treating him well.

Feng Ce looked up at him, his dark golden pupils focused on his face: "I have thought of many ways to get you back, but your apprentice is one step ahead of me." He paused, "But if I were Dong Ze, I will make the same choice as him."

"I know." Shen Budu felt soft in his heart, wanted to thank him, but felt that it would be too much to say it.Feng Ce thought the same way, smiled and stretched out a finger, and lightly pressed it against his lips, with strange emotions hidden in his eyes: "I didn't say this to thank you, I just wanted you to know..."

"My love for you doesn't just stop between friends."

Shen Budu didn't expect this answer, and was a little stunned for a moment.

Feng Ce smiled lightly, withdrew the finger that was sticking to his lips, and suddenly bent down without warning.

Shen Budu was really taken aback, hastily turned his face away, but Feng Ce's movements did not stop, a soft and hot kiss landed on the corner of his lips.

Shen Budu's breath was stagnant, and he immediately stretched out his hand to push him away, then turned his head subconsciously, and looked at Xie Jianhuan who was waiting on the bridge.

The man in black was motionless, his expression was too far away to see clearly, but the arms hanging by his sides were stretched tightly, revealing several bright blue veins.

The leaves on the top of the head fell by themselves without wind, and before they fell to Xie Jianhuan's feet, they had quietly torn apart and shattered into bits of powder.
