Yu Longting saw that my answer was insincere, he lowered his head and bit my lip, "Wanwan, no acting, I actually wish you would blame me."
"How could I blame you? It's clearly you who always sacrifice, and I initially didn't agree with it..." I truly didn't want Yu Longting to make any sacrifices, but there always had to be one of us who needed to.
If it were to be me, Yu Longting's nature would surely lead him to a torment of self-blame.
After he proposed it, I thought about it and could only agree.
A flicker of conflict passed through Yu Longting's eyes, clearly not wanting me to bear any risk.
Eventually, seeing the determination on my face, he relented, "Sleep for a while. You can still get two hours. I'll watch the time for you."
"Yu Longting, do you know how to sing a lullaby?" I looked at my fingers, full of anticipation as I gazed at Yu Longting.
Yu Longting shifted his position, blocking the mountain wind coming from behind, "Want to listen?"
"Mhm." I nodded.
Yu Longting hummed a Russian lullaby out of tune, not a single note was on key, it was more tragic than a car crash scene.
It seems that the Creator is still fair; no one in this world is perfect.
Yu Longting is handsome and intelligent, and his voice is quite pleasant, yet he lacked the gift for melody.
I half-closed my eyes; he wasn't singing the lullaby I was familiar with.
Because I had once sung it to that lost child, to avoid that, he chose the Russian one?
So... what exactly was our past like...
Would you choose to make me forget those memories? Or refuse to admit at all costs that we had a shared history?
These chaotic thoughts flooded my mind like a tide.
Yet, I wasn't afraid, nor did I feel any pain.
It was as though I was just calmly waiting for the right moment to open that sealed box.
In a daze, I drifted off to sleep.
I felt like I had only slept for a short while when I was awakened by a force on my shoulder.
I woke up, a bit cranky, "Is it time?"
"You've slept for two hours," Yu Longting said.
Upon hearing that I had slept until the agreed time,
My sleepiness dissipated quite a bit, and I steadied my spirit.
I took off the Ginseng Bracelet from my wrist and placed it on the bench, "Let's go, let's go, Yu Longting, let's set off quickly."
"You're so tired, I can hardly bear to take you with me," Yu Longting seemed to have noticed that I was more tired upon being awoken than before I had slept, hesitation surfacing on his face.
In my crossbody bag, there was still a Peach, which I gnawed on right in front of him, "Now I'm fully revived."
Immortal Peach truly is Immortal Peach; after eating it, a warm current passed through my meridians, and I was as excited as if I had been injected with chicken blood.
I felt as if I had boundless energy!
"You're hopeless," Yu Longting didn't let me walk by myself, still choosing to carry me down the mountain.
I was still a bit concerned about breaking the current Feng Shui Bottle layout, "The person who can arrange this should be at least as skilled as Qingyang, it's very likely to be that guy Qingyang himself. If he was to bury the Feng Shui Bottles, he would probably hide them really well to prevent them from being found."
Yu Longting whispered to me about it yesterday when we discussed it.
He observed from the celestial phenomena that there must be three particularly powerful Feng Shui Bottles that had altered the Earth Veins and the landscape around here.
"No matter what, one of the Feng Shui Bottles must be buried at the Dragon Head, hiding it won't help," Yu Longting, calculating like a strategist, led me to step in front of the village at the mountain gate.
The village was originally at the Dragon Head, the perfect Feng Shui spot for human habitation.
In the past, descendants who settled here could all have the destiny of becoming Marshals of the Heavenly Canopy.
Now, however, it had become a sinister death trap.
A pile of neglected graves shadowed by the waning moon in the west.
The remaining desolate elegance of Qiong Hua shone on the scattered tombstones.
Several stray dogs roamed back and forth, seemingly in search of food.
The recently deceased were buried in hanging coffins at the village entrance to prevent corpse transformation.
The wild dogs, feeding on the dead, couldn't find the flesh of corpses to eat, and were now emaciated with hunger. Upon seeing me and Yu Longting arrive,
They suddenly ceased their ghost-like swaying and stared at us with bloodthirsty eyes filled with Corpse Qi.
"Yu Longting... these dogs... why are they... so odd?" Even though I was hidden in Yu Longting's embrace, I could still feel the intense greed of the wild dogs towards me.
