Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Chapter 199 White Beast

The vines wrapped around his neck slowly tightened, and a feeling of suffocation ensued. Qin Xiao gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, trying to break free, but his limbs were too weak and he was about to pass out.

Fresh air suddenly rushed in, and the cool breath made him open his eyes. His eyes lit up and he found that the grass cage that enclosed him was pierced by a gun. Then there were several sounds of breaking air. The grass cage was completely chopped into pieces, and the vines that bound him were also cut off. He fell uncontrollably and fell into a warm embrace.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Qin Xiuyun's concerned look.

"Are you okay?" Although Qin Xiuyun didn't know who he was, he let down his guard after cooperating with him just now.

At least not an enemy now.

Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then found himself falling into his arms, feeling a little uncomfortable. He stood up, distanced himself from him, avoided his gaze, and nodded.

Qin Xiuyun stood up and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

Qin Xiao glanced at him, pursed his lips, and did not answer.

He hasn't decided yet whether to tell Qin Xiuyun his identity.

There was an odd silence between the two.

"Hurry up, otherwise Han Yu will--" Ye Ningzhi was so eager to save her son that she didn't notice the strange atmosphere between the two and urged anxiously.

"It's useless." Qin Xiao said with a complicated look in his eyes. He touched his chest unconsciously. The jade pendant hidden in his clothes gave off a hint of coldness, which slowly seeped into his heart.

"What do you mean?" Mo Jian looked at him suddenly, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's.

"...It's already been completed, the fusion." Qin Xiao said softly with a look of sadness and confusion in his eyes.

"What do you mean? What fusion? Who is fused with? What's my son's condition now?!" Ye Ningzhi suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Qin Xiao's collar, and asked urgently.

The panic and anxiety almost drove her crazy.

"What do you mean it's already completed?!" Ye Ningzhi's hands were shaking, her voice was sharp, and her eyes showed a bit of fragility.

"Calm down, Ningzhi." Mo Jian grabbed her hand and slowly let it go.

Qin Xiuyun looked at Qin Xiao and said slowly: "How did you know?"

"...Someone just told me." Qin Xiao naturally couldn't say that it was sensed by the blood in his heart, so he just perfunctorily said it.

"Who do you belong to?" Mo Jian was not like Qin Xiuyun, still on high alert, "Lei Ting, Wang Ji, the royal family... or who else?"

"I represent myself." Qin Xiao replied coldly, turning his head to look in the direction the old man left. He felt something and looked a little confused.

He's... a little timid?

Although he was not as strong as the old man, he could still clearly feel the breath coming from somewhere in the mountains.

He made it known on purpose.

Qin Xiao had a complicated expression. He closed his eyes and finally decided to go find Meng Liyun first.

Seeing this, Qin Xiuyun hesitated for a moment and followed.

Ye Ningzhi looked at the direction the two men flew, gritted her teeth, stomped her feet and chased after them. Mo Jian followed closely behind.

Here, Nangong Huaxue looked at the people who were still arguing, then turned around and prepared to go look for the grass ball.

Regardless of whether what the old man said was true or not, seeing is believing. We have to go and see for ourselves, just in case there is still hope.

Nangong Huaxue thought about it, took a half step back and prepared to leave.

But she didn't expect that the old man seemed to have eyes all over his body. Without even turning his head, he waved his hand and made the grass under her feet grow wildly, sticking to her legs like a dog-skin plaster.

Nangong Huaxue: ...

A few flames suddenly shot out from the calf, devouring all the grass leaves in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the vines blocking the road, I felt helpless.

"Didn't you say it was all done? I'll go see what's going on."

Nangong Huaxue dodged the attack of the grass dragon and refused to accept it.

"What's wrong?" The old man was also puzzled that she could ask this question, and slapped her without even explaining.

The old man was very fast. Although she could roughly see his movements, her body could not react and she could only passively defend herself.

But even so, he was still knocked hundreds of meters away by a palm, knocking down several camphor trees, until he was caught by a shadow, and only then did he stop.

Damn this old man.

Nangong Huaxue cursed inwardly, the blood in his chest surged and he spat out blood mist, then raised his eyes to meet the grass dragon that was following closely.

The grass dragon was so aggressive that it opened its bloody mouth and came towards her to bite. She had no time to dodge and instinctively wanted to resist with an attack, but someone intercepted her first.

Wang Ji's eyes were gloomy. He supported her leaning body and looked at the man standing in front of them with a bad face. Qin Xiao cut the grass dragon in half with one knife, and the surging air wave directly knocked it to the ground.

When Nangong Huaxue saw the figure floating in the air, he finally felt relieved, smiled, and his aura softened.

Fortunately, he is fine.

Wang Ji, who was beside her, keenly noticed her change and his eyes became even more obscure.

Nangong Huaxue felt his support and wanted to lean on him to stand up, but halfway through she remembered that she was still pretending and pushed him away.

Wang Ji was a little displeased when being suddenly pushed away.

"Men and women shouldn't touch each other." Nangong Huaxue was also a little unhappy. She frowned and looked at him with a warning look in her eyes, "Why are you so frivolous?"

Hugging each other the first time we met, really...

There was a sudden pain in the heart, and a sour feeling surged up. Nangong Huaxue couldn't help but grab the collar of her clothes at her chest, frowning in pain.

Is the injury too severe?

Although he had lived for so many years in his previous life, this was the first time he had such a reaction. Nangong Huaxue couldn't help but feel a little confused.

I can’t say I’m sad, I’m just a little disappointed, and my heart is heavy…

Before Nangong Huaxue could savor the feeling, her hand was suddenly grabbed and she was forcefully pulled into a cold embrace.

Nangong Huaxue paused and instinctively wanted to resist, but the man's hoarse voice sounded in her ears.

"Four ribs are broken, and the heart and lungs are injured. It's best not to move... Your Majesty."

I don’t know if it was intentional, but the last two words were pronounced with extra emphasis, and even had a hint of chilliness.

Nangong Huaxue: ...

Nangong Huaxue: ……………

Nangong Huaxue:? ? ! ! !

She couldn't find any words to describe her fear at the moment.

Her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her throat. Nangong Huaxue slowly turned her head and looked in disbelief at the man in front of her who was smiling like spring breeze.

Nangong Huaxue opened his mouth, his brain worked rapidly, and finally, he thought of a countermeasure in just two seconds -

She turned her head and waved at Wang Ji with trembling fingers, her voice sonorous and powerful.

"You got the wrong person... Qi Yu--Mr."

Wang Ji: …

Wang Ji didn't know whether to be angry or laugh first.

In the end, Wang Ji laughed twice, said nothing more, and turned his head away.

"Are you okay?" Before Nangong Huaxue could think any more, Qin Xiao appeared in front of them, squatted down, held Nangong Huaxue's arm, and asked with concern.

Suddenly, Nangong Huaxue felt that the person next to him was not a human, but a thousand-year-old piece of ice, emitting cold air.

No wonder she felt that his reaction was strange just now...

The corners of Nangong Huaxue's mouth twitched. Facing Xiao's concern, she should have been moved, but now she was afraid to move.

"It's just a few broken ribs...it's okay." Nangong Huaxue said with gritted teeth.

Qin Xiao nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you're okay."

"Hmm..." Nangong Huaxue glanced at Wang Ji secretly, and felt a little uneasy when she saw that he showed no sign of speaking.

But now is not the time to be coy.

Nangong Huaxue closed her eyes and hardened her heart, and told Qin Xiao what happened here: "...Is he really alive?"

"Yes." Qin Xiao's eyes dimmed when he mentioned this.

Nangong Huaxue felt uncomfortable seeing him like this.

It’s quite complicated to think about it. I followed him my whole life, but never found him until I died. I finally let him go after I was reborn, but he showed up again, still using my friend’s body.

…She was going crazy just thinking about it.

and……

Nangong Huaxue secretly looked at Qin Xiao's expression.

In fact, she didn't understand the persistence of Xiao and the old man. Maybe it was because she had never dealt with Mo Ze, and she didn't understand what magic he had that made two people follow him so wholeheartedly.

But today we may have the answer.

Nangong Huaxue turned his head to look at the Mo family couple who started fighting with the old man as soon as they appeared, and then looked at Yu Qingling and the others who had hidden themselves at some point, and felt a headache.

"……I see."

After Qiongqi finished speaking, his aura became exceptionally calm. He followed Mo Ze's gaze and looked at the bright full moon.

"Since... it's your decision." Qiongqi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the snow-white figure had disappeared.

"What a troublesome thing..." Taotie's muttering came from above his head, but Qiongqi did not turn back.

"You still care so much even after you're dead..." Taotie couldn't help feeling a little annoyed as he thought back to the conversation just now.

"But didn't you still agree to it?" Qiongqi smiled, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and actually showed a bit of relief.

"Let's go."

……

"Where is my child now?!" Ye Ningzhi attacked like crazy. Strong winds blew in a hundred miles' radius. The raging wind blades mercilessly crushed everything they passed into pieces.

But even so, the old man was still adept at it and dodged calmly.

"...What should we do?" Nangong Huaxue looked at the fight between the two sides and felt that she could not intervene, so she hid aside and asked Qin Xiao.

"...Wait here." Qin Xiao's eyes were complicated.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for him to come."

As soon as he finished speaking, the strong wind that had been blowing all around suddenly came down without any warning, as if a pair of invisible hands had calmed down the violent gale.

Ye Ningzhi was startled, and looked up after realizing something. Mo Jian beside her changed his expression drastically, and he put his arm around her waist, stepped back a few meters, and looked over together.

The old man felt the breath and his whole body was shaking. He touched his chest with great excitement and raised his head.

A huge snow-white beast suddenly appeared on the scene. Its body was as gentle as a spring breeze, but the flashing black mark on its forehead made people tremble with fear.

"What's going on?" Qin Xiuyun suddenly appeared beside Qin Xiao and asked.

Qin Xiao looked at the white giant beast that suddenly appeared, his expression was complicated and his eyes became moist uncontrollably.

"Sir...sir..."

The old man was already in tears. He knelt on the ground, looking at the pure white in front of him almost pleadingly, and crawling at his feet.

The next moment, the huge white figure disappeared in full view of everyone.

"long time no see."

Before I could react, a hand was placed on my shoulder.

Qin Xiao was startled and turned his head to look, only to meet those dazzling golden eyes and that flawless face.

The breathtakingly beautiful face slowly raised her eyebrows, and the smile on her face was somewhat seductive: "Why are you crying?"

He thought he had forgotten this voice...

Qin Xiao stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of him, until he heard him talk and felt the cold white knuckles gently caressing his face and wiping away the tears, then he suddenly realized that he had shed tears without knowing when.

"Tell me, who bullied you?" Mo Ze suddenly came closer and asked with a smile.

There was dead silence all around, not even the sound of the wind could be heard.

Mo Ze transformed into a human form in front of everyone and appeared in front of him. No one could see how he changed. When they saw him clearly, they saw that he was wearing a simple snow-white robe with a trailing edge and a collar covered with fluffy snow-colored fur, like the needles of a fox fur.

"I……"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Xiao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but many fragments of memories flashed through his mind and he couldn't help but choke up.

"I thought...you would hate me."

The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, as if he sensed his owner's sadness. Tears flowed uncontrollably, and his sorrowful eyes looked as if they would break in the next second.

Qin Xiao tried to calm himself down, but to no avail. He could only look at Mo Ze pleadingly, hoping that he could understand his feelings.

"Actually...I thought so too."

Unexpectedly, Mo Ze touched the tip of his nose and suddenly chuckled.

what?

Qin Xiao was stunned: "You... also think you hate me...?"

"No." Mo Ze shook his finger and put down his hand on his shoulder, "I thought you would hate me."

"How could it be—?"

"Why not?" Mo Ze looked at the old man who was kneeling on the ground and crying, and said calmly, "If I had given a different answer back then, you wouldn't have been delayed for so many years."

“…But I don’t regret it.”

Thinking of the past, Qin Xiao's eyes darkened and he turned his head away.

Mo Ze laughed and said nothing. He walked up to the old man and slowly squatted down.

"S-Sir..."

The old man choked up, sensed that familiar breath, and looked at him with tearful eyes.

"I finally... meet you... really, really——"

The old man stretched out his hand to him tremblingly, not caring how humble he was at the moment, and wanted to hold that slender and cold hand.

Mo Ze did not stop him. Instead, he let him hold his hand and place it on his forehead as he wished.

"I'm really sorry—"

The old man was shaking all over, as if he was thinking of some extremely horrifying scene. Big drops of tears fell on the back of his hand, burning like sparks.

"If, at that time... I could be like I am now, I wouldn't just be watching from the outside—"

"No." Mo Ze interrupted him and seemed to think for a moment, "Even with your current strength, you can't beat so many people."

The old man choked and said unwillingly: "Then at least... I can take you away--"

"No." Mo Ze touched the tip of his nose with his other hand and smiled helplessly, "Even if you take it away, you won't survive."

Nangong Huaxue: ...

"Then..." The old man still didn't give up, "At least... you can have a complete body, and you won't be killed like that-"

"No..." Mo Ze hesitated, but finally said, "It's useless to have a corpse after he's already dead—"

"Please stop talking!!"

The old man broke down and cried.

Mo Ze: “…Oh.”

Qin Xiao: ...

Everyone:...

This scene was obviously beyond Nangong Huaxue's expectations. She was filled with emotion for a moment and turned her head to Qin Xiao and said, "He is even worse at speaking than you."

Qin Xiao:……?
