Chapter 74
Chapter 74
I don't know if it was because the situation in front of me was too shocking, the whole air in the entrance of the courtyard seemed to freeze.
Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen were silent and unable to speak.
And the small black fish in Xue Qing's palm sank to the bottom of the water, with its belly tightly pressed against Xue Qing's palm, the whole small fish was extremely quiet.
Even the translucent fish tail almost hangs down, making it a bit sad to watch.
"This, this, this...!"
Uncle Chen was stunned, he didn't know what to say for a while, he just spit out a few words from his mouth.
"Qingqing, now is not the time to joke around."
Uncle Chen hesitated and spoke again, with a troubled expression on his face, thinking that Xue Qing was using this to coax him to make him happy.
Aunt Chen was unexpectedly silent and did not speak.
"no."
Xue Qing said helplessly.
In fact, he also expected the reactions of Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen.
Erdan probably turned into a demon body because of the sudden awakening of demon power, but he has not adapted to this change of identity, and cannot use the demon power proficiently, so he can't change back all at once.
The fish in the palm seemed to have heard Uncle Chen's words, the little black fish raised its head, and the fish's eyes turned sideways looked at Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen outside.
The fish's mouth opened and closed in the water, and Xue Qing could hear the little fish saying in a low voice, "No..."
It is a somewhat hoarse juvenile voice.
It's the voice of Erdan.
"it's me."
His voice was filled with unbearable sadness.
It's a pity that only Xue Qing could hear Erdan's voice, but Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen couldn't hear it, and could only see the little black fish spitting bubbles in Xue Qing's hands.
Xue Qing sighed dully in his heart, and lost a little demon power towards the little black fish in his palm.
Because Erdan still can't completely control himself to transform into a human form, Xue Qing can only use his own demon power to help Xue Qing transform into a human form.
He wanted to help Erdan transform into a human form on the mountain, but Erdan showed resistance to them.
Erdan didn't want to come back.
Xue Qing had no choice but to use his strength to bring Er Dan back.
After injecting a little demon power, a blue light flashed in Xue Qing's palm, and a wet black-skinned boy appeared in front of them.
His whole body looked like he had been fished out of the water, his black hair was sticking wet to his face, and his eyelashes were drooping, as if he didn't dare to look directly at Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen in front of him.
Erdan looks the same as before.
Except for the black scales that spread up from the arms and spread all the way to the neck, under the light of the lantern lights under the eaves, it reflected a strange and cold light.
Under the silent gaze of Aunt Chen and Uncle Chen, Erdan clenched her hands tightly.
He is afraid.
Everything left him breathless.
It was as if he was waiting for an inevitable death sentence, and the big knife was hanging above his head, ready to whistling towards his neck immediately.
Xue Qing also knew that he could not intervene in the situation at this time.
He and Fahai stood quietly behind Erdan, and the light of the lantern happened to stop at Erdan's feet.
Xue Qing and Fa Hai were huddled in the darkness without light, and under the light, the expressions of Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen were even more clear and invisible.
Seeing the dick that suddenly appeared in front of them, the expressions of Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen went blank for a moment.
It seems that they haven't realized how the little black fish in Xue Qing's palm has become a bastard that makes them worry about it.
"You little bastard! Why don't you know how to go home at night!"
Uncle Chen finally came to his senses, and waved his thin hand to pat the douchebag with his head down. It was obvious from a glance that it was a useless movement.
On the contrary, it seemed like some kind of intimate reproach.
Uncle Chen was not really angry.
On the contrary, under the light, Xue Qing could see a little sparkle in the corner of Uncle Chen's eyes.
He was happy that Erdan came back safely.
Erdan didn't expect Uncle Chen to react like this, so he froze.
After two seconds, his head, which had been lowered all the time, was raised slowly.
His thin and dark face was blank, this time he couldn't react.
This was completely beyond his expectations.
Aunt Chen stretched out her hand to caress Erdan's thin shoulders, and with the other hand, she pushed Erdan's bangs wet with water from her forehead.
"You don't know, we are all worried about you."
"But……"
Er Dan dazedly stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, the strange scales still gleamed on his wrist.
"I am a demon."
Didn't they see the scales on him?
If he was found to be a demon, then why would he react like this?
Shouldn't he be like those Taoist priests, shouting at him to be beaten and killed...?
The strangeness on his body became more and more difficult to conceal, and Erdan also clearly felt that the strange power in his body was getting stronger and uncontrollable.
Although he also admired the Phoenix God, but he changed from a human to a demon, and he definitely couldn't accept it in his heart.
What's more, with the attitudes of those Taoist priests today, Erdan realized the difficult situation of being a demon.
He couldn't face it, and he didn't want to bring disaster to Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, so he went up the mountain alone in a panic.
Also on the mountain, he turned into his original form.
He must be hated.
Erdan thinks so.
But at this moment Er Dan looked at Uncle Chen in front of him pretending to be angry but couldn't help showing a worried expression, feeling the warm touch of Mrs. Chen on her shoulder, her body that had been icy from being soaked in the night mountain spring warmed up again like her heart .
His dripping fingers on both sides trembled. Before he could speak in a hoarse voice, Mrs. Chen reached out and wiped Erdan's wet face with her clothes.
Dry and warm.
But after only two touches, Aunt Chen's hand stopped again.
It seems to remember that there is still a fish in front of Erdan, and I don't know if Erdan will feel uncomfortable if there is no water at this time.
Aunt Chen withdrew her hand and smiled at Er Dan.
"go home."
"We've been waiting for you for a long time."
Xue Qing saw Doe Dan's lips tremble, and the eyes of the usually stubborn, thin boy covered by his black hair seemed to have an irresistible glint of water.
Can't be ignored.
"Don't cry."
Xue Qing couldn't help but speak.
His unfinished words disappeared in his throat when Erdan turned around.
"A demon cannot cry..."
He saw the dark-skinned boy bit his lip, a line of clear tears rolled down from the corner of his eyes, scratched across the sporadic scales that had grown to his face, condensed on his chin, and then fell.
A demon cannot cry, every tear that flows out of his eye sockets is his own essence and blood, which depletes his cultivation base.
No matter how many tears you shed, you will lose a corresponding amount of skill and life span.
For a demon, crying is the least worthwhile thing.
It is obvious that he has endured countless hardships, endured many years of loneliness and experienced many dangers to cultivate this body.
How could he let go of his hard-earned cultivation base in vain just by shedding tears?
Erdan turned his head, Xue Qing saw the tear stains on Erdan's face and the scales on his body shining together.
However, Xue Qing thought, probably because sometimes the tears shed are worth it.
Aunt Chen thanked Xue Qing and Fa Hai solemnly.
Her hair was completely gray and her body was thin, but she still stood up straight.
After thanking her, she held Erdan's hand, and Uncle Chen followed them, and the three of them walked towards the house together under the light of the lantern.
Looking at the backs of the three of them, Xue Qing felt a sudden movement in his heart.
When he came to this world, Xue Qing didn't seem to shed tears from his eyes, at most his eyes were moist.
Maybe it's because of the monster's own protection that it's not so easy to shed tears.
Many times, Xue Qing wondered if he had lost the ability to cry.
Even if it's really hard, I won't cry.
Maybe it must be when the love is strong enough to break through the protective instinct of the monster's body before she shed tears.
Sometimes it doesn't matter if you are a human or a demon?
Demons are not inherently evil, and humans are not inherently good either.
If you are someone who loves you, it will not change because you are a human or a demon.
In the deep night, Xue Qing felt his sleeve being pulled.
It was Fa Hai beside him.
Under the Lingling light and the moonlight, those two-way cold phoenix eyes were surprisingly warm.
Xue Qing felt the top of his head being gently caressed with the palm of his hand. It was obviously a cold jade-like finger, but it was warm when it touched the skin.
He thought that his expression at the moment must not look so relaxed, so that Fa Hai took the initiative to stroke his hair with his palm.
Restrained and gentle.
It is undeniable that Xue Qing's originally dull heart was indeed soothed by this action, and the heavy weight on his heart was relieved.
Tonight's moonlight casts a cold and dusty brilliance on the jade-faced monk who has always been indifferent.
But the immortal who seemed to be riding the wind and the moon slightly lowered his head and stretched out his hand towards the young man in red in front of him.
"Let's go home together."
