The wind rose and the gravel on the ground began to jump up and down, and the surrounding trees also started shaking. The birds in the forest seemed to sense some danger and flew out of the forest in flocks. Two streams of internal force collided in mid-air, unable to prevail over each other, and gradually, beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of the two men.
"Boom!" An explosion formed between the two, shattering the surrounding rocks and toppling nearby trees. The powerful impact sent everyone flying several feet away.
"Pffft!" A mouthful of blood spurted out from Hong Mao's mouth, bursting into a flower of bright red on his white clothes. "Hong Mao!" Liu Xia shouted in surprise, struggling to get up and rushing over to support Hong Mao's upper body. He hastily fed Hong Mao a medicinal pill.
Blue Rabbit's face was filled with anxiety, asking: "Are you okay?" Rainbow Cat's complexion was somewhat pale, and the blood at the corner of his mouth made him look even weaker. He only felt that all his strength seemed to have been drained away, barely managing to force out a smile, his head spinning dizzily, feeling as if everything around him had darkened, only hearing Blue Rabbit's shouting voice: "Rainbow Cat!" The scattered leaves rustled, leaving behind the lonely bird's cries echoing in the sky...
Sunlight spilled onto the windowsill, and Rainbow Cat slowly opened his eyes, feeling a bit dazzled by the light. He saw Blue Rabbit sleeping with her head propped up beside him, looking tired, with a hint of concern in her eyes. He quietly got out of bed, put on his clothes, thinking of covering her with a thin blanket, but unexpectedly heard her murmur and slowly open her eyes. When Blue Rabbit clearly saw the person in front of her, suddenly, her eyes were filled with surprise: "You're awake!" She exclaimed, hastily getting up and running to open the door, shouting: "Tiao Tiao, Rainbow Cat is awake!" Rainbow Cat asked: "How long did I sleep?" "A day." The events of that day... Rainbow Cat only felt a bit dizzy, Blue Rabbit saw this and poured him a cup of tea, saying: "Drink some water first, you haven't eaten anything for a whole day, we can eat soon."
Rainbow Cat held his forehead and took over the water cup, taking a sip of water, and his mind gradually cleared up. Thinking of that day's affairs, he couldn't help but let out a light sigh. This time, Black Little Tiger's affair was indeed their overthinking.
Looking at the blue rabbit, I have some unknown emotions in my heart. It turns out that you came back just to prove yourself stronger than me, and your proof, apart from your own pride back then, is also for her...
The day before, under the Tianmen Mountain, "Hei Xiao Hu, what do you want to do!" Da Ben looked at Hei Xiao Hu who was panting heavily, the tip of the Ben Lei sword pointed at him, as if ready to strike back at any moment.
"Hei Xiao Hu curled up a cold smile: 'What can I do? You suspect that the Demon Sect has revived, so I can openly tell you that the Demon Sect no longer exists. Since my father's death, the Demon Sect has disappeared with him!'"
"So, what's the point of all this?" Jumping looked at him and said with a complex expression.
Hei Xiao Hu took a deep breath, calming his mind and said: "To fulfill my original vow." As he spoke, his profound eyes gazed at the Rainbow Cat lying on the ground, then looked at the Blue Rabbit with a complex expression, and a hint of unclear emotions flashed in his eyes.
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, what vow? What vow was it? Was it... defeating the Rainbow Cat? Feng Wuxin looked at Qi Xiaolong coldly, the sword in his hand gleaming with a sharp edge, the chill in his eyes not diminishing one bit. "Wait." Lan Tu saw this and walked over to Da Ben's side, pressing down on the hand that was gripping the Thunder Sword. "I believe him." As he spoke, his face gradually became calm once more.
"What?! Dada and the others were shocked, feeling unbelievable. "Lan Tu, you..." "If he really wanted to kill Hong Mao, there was no need to show mercy earlier." Lan Tu looked at Hei Xiao Hu: "You only used 70% of your strength just now, right?"
Tou Tou heard this and stood up, saying: "That's right, your current skills are more advanced than they were back then. Compared to Hong Mao, it's hard to say who would win or lose, and the result might be a mutual defeat. However, neither of you used your full strength, otherwise there wouldn't have been any light tunnels." Everyone heard this and suddenly understood in their hearts that just now was too tense, and they had actually overlooked this point.
At this time, the rainbow cat lying on the ground moved slightly, slowly opened its eyes, and with some effort spat out a sentence: "It's just six successful powers, it's become like this, cough...". Liu Xia was shocked and quickly turned around. Blue Rabbit walked to Rainbow Cat's side and asked, "How are you?" Rainbow Cat shook his head, "Nothing." He looked at Black Little Tiger and smiled slightly, "Thank you." Then he slowly closed his eyes again and said softly, "I'm very tired." Blue Rabbit supported his body and said softly, "If you're tired, sleep for a while." Rainbow Cat nodded and fell into a deep sleep.
Hei Xiao Hu looked at the skeptical Qi Xia, smiled lightly and turned to leave without saying a word. Feng Xuan gave them a cold glance and followed Hei Xiao Hu. The gentle breeze lifted the corner of Hei Xiao Hu's clothes, leaving behind only a resolute back view for Qi Xia. Hei Xiao Hu seemed different...
While Rainbow Cat was reminiscing, Dangdang suddenly burst in: "Rainbow Cat is awake! Are you okay?" Her face was full of excitement. Rainbow Cat looked at Dangdang and shook her head: "I'm fine, Dangdang, thank you." Then DouDou, who had rushed over, took Rainbow Cat's pulse and said: "You've pretty much recovered." Rainbow Cat nodded and said: "Thanks for your hard work, DouDou. Let's go eat!" As soon as she spoke, she got up and walked out. The moment she heard the words "eat", a beautiful flower bloomed on DouDou's face: "Eat? Great!"
He knew this meal must have been cooked by Blue Rabbit himself, they were indeed blessed with good fortune.
At the dinner table, the divine doctor showed off his gluttonous side. The six knights were already used to this scene and weren't surprised at all. Although it was a cold day, they still felt a bit uncomfortable, but since things had basically come to an end, everyone's stone in their heart had fallen to the ground, and they enjoyed the meal together harmoniously.
When they were halfway through their meal, a maid dressed in light green palace attire walked in and said: "Master, Hei Xiao Hu has arrived." Upon hearing this, everyone's chopsticks paused for a moment, and even DouDou stopped moving, her eyes revealing an unclear emotion.
That day, although Hei Xiao Hu didn't use all his strength, he still clearly explained the doubts they had accumulated over many days, but in his heart, there was still a lingering knot.
After all, Hei Xiao Hu was their arch-nemesis back then, and they had tried every means to get rid of them. Now that they knew Hei Xiao Hu's intentions, they were still somewhat on guard.
"Alright, take him to the Peach Blossom Forest then." Lan Tu said calmly, his eyes showing no emotion, but he had already made up his mind. It was time to face it.
Sally looked at Blue Rabbit, hesitated and said: "Blue Rabbit, are you really going to see him?" Blue Rabbit smiled faintly and said: "It's okay, you all continue eating." Sally nodded lightly and said: "Okay." Things must have a beginning and an end.
Han Tian, Ding Dang and Xiao Li watched as Lan Tu got up. Han Tian wanted to speak but stopped himself, watching as Lan Tu walked out.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit dull, and out of curiosity, Dangdang asked in a low voice: "Is that black little tiger, isn't it about Blue Rabbit..." For some reason, she always felt that when they mentioned Black Little Tiger, their expressions were strange, besides being unnatural, there was also... a sigh. "That's right." Jumping put down his chopsticks and replied. Dangdang and the others heard this and couldn't help but be shocked, even Xiao Li said in surprise: "What!"
Although Xiao Li and Hong Mao had known each other for a long time, they had never heard them mention this matter. It's said that the Demon Sect is ruthless and merciless, but it's actually terrifying to hear that they can develop feelings for their own enemies! Looking at the three people with shocked faces, Da Da sighed and said: "Perhaps everything started from the Bi Xue Zhen Qing Seven Leaf Flower."
If it wasn't for Blue Rabbit in the first place, maybe..." Dada stopped talking, and Dingdang and others noticed the strangeness of the crowd, so they closed their mouths and didn't mention it again.
Dà bēn saw the situation and broke the silence, saying: "No matter what, Blue Rabbit will definitely handle it well! Let's not worry about it anymore." After speaking, he got up and said: "I'll go get a few jars of good wine, let's have a hearty drink today!"
Sally heard this, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Didn't you quit drinking? Why are you still thinking about it." Da Ben laughed and said: "Isn't this a happy occasion? Having a few small cups is fine!" After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Sally to respond, and stepped out the door.
Sally saw Da Ben rushing out and quickly said to the people present: "Later, you guys must help me stop him. If he gets drunk again, I'll settle old and new accounts together!" As she spoke, her bright eyes scanned Jiao Jiao and Dou Dou with a hint of threat. The two heard this and their bodies trembled slightly, and they smiled awkwardly on their faces: "Uh, Sally, that time we didn't do it on purpose... It was Da Ben who..." When they met Sally's stern gaze, Jiao Jiao couldn't help but shut his mouth. Who made him guilty? If it weren't for them being greedy and wanting to pull in another partner, things wouldn't have turned out that way. Dou Dou immediately understood the situation and said: "Don't worry, this time we'll definitely stop him!" Seeing Dou Dou's sincere expression, Jiao Jiao also echoed: "That's right!" Sally then put away her slightly threatening gaze. Da Da and Hong Mao watched the three of them from the side, with a deeper smile in their eyes.
Dingdang nodded in agreement and gently pushed him with his arm, asking in a low voice: "Hey, will Dahong go crazy after drinking too much?" Xiao Li looked at Dingdang with a strange smile on his face: "You'll see soon enough." Dingdang looked at Xiao Li's smile and couldn't help but shudder all over, feeling that something bad was going to happen.
In the peach blossom forest, petals fell in profusion. Underfoot were fine fragments of flowers, Blue Rabbit saw that figure's back. Wearing a black robe with his back to her, he slowly approached, as if sensing something, turned around. The two remained silent for a long time before Black Little Tiger slowly spoke up: "Long time no see, Blue Rabbit." Blue Rabbit smiled faintly: "Thanks, Black Little Tiger."
"Don't you want to know why I came here today?" Blue Rabbit raised his eyes and looked up at him, quietly waiting for him to continue.
He seemed somewhat helpless and said lightly: "That day when you used the umbrella cloth to fly over the Tianmen Cave, did you know my inner anger and unwillingness?"
He stood quietly, allowing the petals to fall on him like fine rain, without lifting a hand to brush them away. "I just want to know, have you ever felt any sorrow for my death?"
Blue Rabbit looked at Black Little Tiger and said word by word: "That day, I only heard the sound of the landmine exploding, and I didn't know that you had died because of it. It wasn't until later when the Demon Sect was destroyed and the various leaders went into hiding that we found out you had died in that explosion, which is why your father would stop at nothing to kill us."
A flash of heartache flickered in Hei Xiao Hu's eyes as he said, "I once thought that his heart only had ambitions to conquer the world, and I was just a pawn to him. Only now do I realize that he actually cared about me too."
The blue rabbit nodded silently.
"And you?" Hei Xiao Hu looked at her.
The blue rabbit slightly lowered its eyelids, and the long eyelashes cast a shadow, saying: "That day's melody, I played it to the end."
Hei Xiao Hu was taken aback, suddenly remembering the tune she had played for him that day in the Bamboo Forest. At first, it was for Hong Mao, but now this melody was for himself. He smiled with a sense of relief, and for an instant, he seemed to regain a childlike innocence and satisfaction: "So, I have no regrets." He spoke softly, she listened quietly, knowing that he had let go, and also broke into a smile, as if they were friends who had just finished a conversation.
Hei Xiao Hu looked up at the sky and said, "I should head back." He took a step to leave. "Wait!" Lan Tu called out to him, "That jade pendant, may I..." Hei Xiao Hu pulled out the jade pendant from his pocket and held it in his palm, saying, "Since we are friends, would you mind giving it to me as a keepsake?" Lan Tu was taken aback, smiled lightly and said, "Of course, please take good care of it."
"This is natural." Hei Xiao Hu put it in his arms, and then went forward to help Lan Tu remove the flower petals from his shoulders. "From now on, call me Mo Yue. Hei Xiao Hu has long been dead."
"Alright, Mo Huan. From now on, the gates of Yu Chan Palace will always be open for you."
The dark figure left, the blue rabbit looked up at the sky with a relaxed face. Petals fell on her hair, carrying a little sunlight, and there was an unspeakable beauty.
Out of the peach blossom forest, Blue Rabbit walked onto the stone bridge, standing against the wind. Rainbow Cat saw her from afar and quietly walked over, gazing at her face. The two simply stood there silently; he didn't ask about Black Little Tiger because he knew she would handle it well.
After a long time, Blue Rabbit slowly opened his mouth and said: "From now on, there is no more Hei Xiao Hu in the world, only Mo Yue."
"It seems I understand something," Rainbow Cat said with a faint smile. "Our friend." Blue Rabbit heard this and smiled warmly.
At this time, Da Ben stumbled out, drunk: "Hehe, Hong Mao Lan Tu, what are you doing here? Come on, let's go back and keep drinking!" Sally walked out with a gloomy face, grabbed Da Ben who was about to fall over, and said: "I told you not to drink so much, but you still did! When you two wake up, I'll definitely settle the score with them!" Lan Tu looked at them and smiled: "Looks like someone's going to be unlucky again. But aren't you going over? Afraid that Sally is furious right now, you'd better be careful." Hong Mao smiled and said: "They're having a drunken fit, if I go over now, won't I just get dragged down with them? And when Sally comes looking for me later, this will be a losing deal, no thanks!" Lan Tu couldn't help but laugh, stood up and said: "Let's still go take a look, hopefully they're not in trouble." The two of them walked over using their light footsteps. The sunlight shone on the ground, the gentle breeze carried the faint scent of flowers, the spirit doves danced happily, the white clouds were so soft, everything seemed to have become peaceful...
"Hey, don't drink the water used for washing rags!"
"What's wrong with you, jumping onto the beam!"
"Kan Tian Xiao Li is stunned, what's wrong with him? Come and help quickly! Catch him, don't let him jump around!"
"Stop dragging the tablecloth as an umbrella and flying away! Do you think you're a phoenix?!"
......
"I think your proposal just now is correct."
