Chapter Forty-Four Shattered News

  I actually wanted to stay outside the house and listen to their conversation, but it didn't seem very polite, so I didn't go. Since the witch said this to me, I thought she had decided to help, but my heart wasn't particularly happy. I don't know why, maybe it's related to my mood.

  After going through a lot of trouble to find the witch, although it's a bit different from what I imagined, but overall it's still pretty good.

  I strolled slowly through Fengmen Village, feeling about the same as when I first arrived. There were very few people around, but those who were here seemed mysterious and hard to fathom.

  I followed the direction Xiao Rou pointed to find Mo Jing Xia, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that in such a small village there would be such clear lake water. The lakeside was lined with weeping willows, swaying gently in the breeze, looking quite picturesque. Mo Jing Xia was under the willow tree, of course, including that big turtle king.

  "What's up, brother? You're out now." The sunglasses hero took off his glasses and put them in his pocket.

  I smiled slightly at the sunglasses-wearing guy and said: "Yeah, I'm out. But what are you doing here? Are you trying to bury Da Wang Ba?"

  "Of course not, this thing that I've worked so hard to get, won't be buried. I'm going to make it into a Gu. But I must have the help of the witch, I know she has many things to say to you, so I brought it here. I'm prepared to bid farewell to it," as he said this, Mo Jian sighed again, "What a pity, its several hundred years of life. Even after death, it will still be made into a Gu by me!"

  "But you don't have to cultivate it into a Gu!" I said casually.

  "The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, applies to us as well. If you don't treat it that way, it will treat you that way. In short, being merciful to your enemy is being cruel to yourself." The Masked Rider said to me with a serious tone.

  Before I could say anything, he came to my front again, with both hands on my shoulders and said: "Brother, what the situation will be like in the future is unknown, but I feel that you are not a simple person, and may dominate our circle in the future."

  "I... how could I possibly..." I'm not being modest, I genuinely think it's impossible.

  "Listen to me, let me finish. I'm saying that if, if there's really such a day in the future, I hope you won't have a merciful heart. That will harm both you and the people around you, do you understand?" The sunglasses-wearing man stared at me and asked.

  Looking at him so serious, I didn't dare to slack off either. I quickly nodded and said: "Alright, got it, Sunglasses Knight."

  At that time, I didn't know that this sentence would remind me countless times in the future and save my life countless times.

  After I agreed, he smiled and said to me: "Okay, since you know, just continue with that silly mode you mentioned earlier, I like that word."

  I'm also quite helpless about this, but I prefer him when he's not being formal. I asked him, "Brother Sunglasses Hero, we're like brothers now, right?"

  "Hmm!" The sunglasses-wearing hero nodded and said, "Although you're taking advantage of me, I'll reluctantly agree."

  "I ask you a question, why do you always like wearing glasses? I think you look more handsome without them."

  "You know what, with glasses on, combat power doubles, so this thing must be worn."

  The sunglasses hero smiled and told me this very far-fetched reason. I know it's not just to show off, there must be another reason.

  I continued to banter with the sunglasses hero for a while, of course, all about his past. From our conversation, I learned that this sunglasses hero's life was indeed not ordinary. After more than two hours, Xiaoyu finally appeared by the small lake, holding a bamboo tube in her hand! It looked a bit different from the one the sunglasses hero had before, with a shiny appearance. Probably not an ordinary bamboo tube!

  "Xiao Rou!" The Ink Glasses Hero exclaimed excitedly.

  What was that sentence again? In love, you don't need too many words, just one glance can understand. When I saw the state of the Ink Knight, I realized how much he liked Xiaorou.

  Xiao Rou ran over and handed the Gu to Mo Jian Xia, smiling as she said: "Wu Po Po asked me to give this to you."

  The sunglasses hero was stunned at the time and said incredulously after a few seconds: "Is this Golden Kui?"

  "Uh-huh!" Xiao Rou nodded and said to Mo Jing Xiang, "Yes, it's the Golden Cauldron. With this, you can refine anything under the sky, including this giant octopus."

  "This time, Wupo's handwriting is really big, great praise!" The sunglasses cavalier received the golden pendant with both hands, and it seemed that this time he had obtained a treasure.

  After Xiao Rou sent him the golden pendant, she quietly handed him a note and whispered a few words in his ear. Then she came to my side, pulled my hand away from Masked Man's line of sight. The moment her hand touched mine, I couldn't help but blush, perhaps because I hadn't had much contact with girls before. After leaving Masked Man for several hundred meters, she let go of my hand and said: "Xiao Long, did the witch already tell you about the situation?"

  "Uh-huh!" I nodded, "Everyone has told me."

  "Now, the situation is that Witch Grandma's body is not as good as it used to be. Do you still remember when I told you she went out last time?" Xiao Rou said here with a bit of discomfort in her expression. "Witch Grandma was planning to go to Tibet to get an amulet for you, but she was ambushed by someone on the way and basically can't perform advanced witchcraft anymore, so she doesn't dare promise anything to you. And as the day when the Nine-Tailed Fox is born approaches, she's very worried in her heart. Originally, she didn't want me to tell you, but I think it's better if I do."

  After hearing Xiaoyu say these words, my heart was as painful as it could be. I really didn't expect that Wupo would become like this for me. The bitterness in my heart was suffocating, and Xiaoyu's tears also flowed out at this time. I had never seen Xiaoyu so sad before, and when I saw her like this, my heart felt as if it had been hollowed out.

  "Xiao Rou, I'm sorry!" I also choked back a sob, "I'm an unlucky person, I actually harmed Witch Grandma, I should die."

  While speaking, I slapped my own face with a loud slap. Xiao Rou came over and grabbed my hand, saying: "Xiao Long, calm down, heaven has unpredictable winds and clouds. This can't be blamed on you, Witch Grandma didn't mean to blame you."

  "But the more it is like this, the more I suffer. Xiao Rou, now even the witch has been injured, and I'm afraid no one can stop the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox anymore. Let's just wait for a month, then I'll let the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox take my life. I'm not afraid of death."

  "Little Dragon, how can you still not understand? Your death won't change anything. Once evil intentions are born, they cannot be taken back, even if you die a million times it will be of no use. The current Nine-Tailed Fox resents everyone."

  "What should we do now?"

  Xiao Rou shook her lips and said to me: "Although it's difficult, there is still hope. For now, the plan is to let you cultivate, see if we can stimulate your past life."

  "What do I need to do?"

  "First and foremost, you must break free from your heart demon. This thing will inevitably bring harm to you if it stays by your side. Its magic may not be particularly powerful, but it is indeed the most terrifying thing. With it by your side, you can't accomplish anything."

  "But isn't it going to be hard to find? It's an intangible thing!" I said with some concern.

  "Don't worry, I'll help you."

  There are many words in my heart that I want to say, but for the time being, I don't know what to say. I can only feel grateful from the bottom of my heart to Xiao Rou, Wu Po Po, Mo Jian Xia and Tang Bing Xue who gave me life.

  Although I also know it's difficult, but with the help of Mò Jìng Xiá and Xiǎo Róu, there should be hope. However, things didn't go as I imagined. When we returned to our previous location, Mò Jìng Xiá was already gone. At first, I thought he went to the restroom, but then Xiǎo Róu told me that he had gone to bid farewell to Wū Pó Pó.

  "It can't be true, Little Rong? Ink Glasses Knight is leaving!" I got a bit excited.

  Xiao Rou nodded and said to me: "Yes, he has to go, he still has more important things to do."
