atypical prostitute

Chapter 246
On the day Jun Fengxi came back, it was snowing heavily and the sky was clear at the beginning of the day. The sky and the earth were all pale, and the sun hung in the sky bleakly, without any warmth.

In the white snow, he came slowly, with broken sleeves and blood stains, holding a green bamboo umbrella with one hand, moving slowly.

Entering Ye Mansion from the front door, there were countless servants and servants along the way, but no one stopped them. They looked at his withered and lonely figure, whispering in private, and their eyes were full of sadness.

Pass the main hall without entering, and go straight to Nanyuan.

……

……

In the days of snow and ice, a thick layer of ice had formed on the lotus pond, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ice. In the bleak winter, a few scattered lotus branches covered the thin snow, groaning in the cold wind. swaying bitterly.

The stalks and lotus are both lifeless and withered brown. If it weren't for the snow covering a few white lotus petals that were not completely withered and rustling in the wind, who would believe that the white lotus blooming all over the city the night before was not a fantasy dream covering the whole city?

The morning dew will be revived in the Ming Dynasty, when will a person return after death?

"...I...I'm sorry...I...couldn't bring him back..."

Facing the pond full of withered white lotuses, he said sadly and apologetically, his voice was like a gnat, hiding in his throat, only he could vaguely hear it.

Behind him, there were soft footsteps.

Li Ci came slowly, walked to his side, and stood side by side.

Silence for a long time.

"...I thought you weren't coming back..." she said.

"……sorry……"

He said earnestly, the cold air of winter condensed on the eyelashes, forming a layer of crystal frost, which made the blood-dried eyes not so scary.

Li Ci looked at the remnant lotus in the snow, and said tiredly: "...you don't need to apologize to me...the one who really committed the unforgivable mistake was me...if I hadn't been bewitched by their promises, if I hadn't been fooled by the reality If you are cruel, you choose to compromise... If I hug him on the day of saying goodbye... maybe... many things will be different..."

"But there are no ifs in this world... Besides, your decision is not wrong. Even if I am in your position, I may not be able to do better than you... I can only blame...fate...fucking people..."

Jun Fengxi spoke bitterly, walked to the stone bench, flicked her sleeves, and swept out a blank space.

The surface of the bluestone bench was cold, but his heart was even colder.

Li Ci also sat down.

The reasons for grief may vary, but the grief is the same.

"...He...and you, what is...what's going on?"

After pondering for a long time, she still asked, but before Jun Fengxi could answer, she sighed and said, "Forget it, because seeing his eyes, which were lighter than ordinary people's, turned almost transparent gray. , are things beyond my comprehension...not to mention...he has disappeared! No matter what we do, we can't make him... come back to life!"

"...Indeed, no matter how hard we try, he won't survive."

Jun Fengxi said dejectedly, raising her head, under the dying winter sun, faint golden light could be seen seeping from the depths of her skin.

"...I have always been the darling of fate. Whether it is cultivating the Tao or watching the sky, I have unrivaled luck. So... ten thousand years ago, when she disappeared, I arrogantly thought that I could reverse the will of heaven. So I withheld a trace of her soul, and used the next 1 years to keep nourishing it... Waiting has become a habit... Countless people persuaded me to give up, they said that those who defy the sky will eventually get retribution, it is better to let go and wait A similar flower blooms in the Three Thousand Worlds... but I don't want... no similar flower, it's not her after all!"

"...so you approached me, actually..."

Jun Fengxi nodded, and spit out the unspoken part of Li Ci.

"... The soul I left behind is very incomplete, and I need to rely on reincarnation to nourish it... So I have visited three thousand worlds in these 1 years, looking for her traces, and at the same time looking for a special woman like you... Her soul is so completely broken, every time she finds a trace, it takes one reincarnation to perfectly integrate the separated part...Three hundred reincarnations, I have always guarded her, watched her life, watched her grow from a toddler From gray hair to gray, the soul is gradually full from the faint thread like a bright moon... I... Sometimes, she even thinks of me, smiling at the man who looks like me... These tiny sweetnesses make me no longer tired, full of love Sour hope, waiting for eternity..."

"...But I didn't expect God's will to be so cruel...Three hundred times of reincarnation, three hundred times of waiting, finally... Her soul is only a thread away...She...has...will come back ...but...the sky gave me a glimmer of hope, but when the long expectation is about to become reality—"

Speaking of this, Jun Fengxi choked up, his tears had already dried up, so there were no tears in the corners of his eyes, only a thin line of blood slipped across.

Seeing his sadness, Li Ci also hesitated, she pondered for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to speak out a question in her heart.

"... There is one thing... I... hope you can tell me clearly... You once said that one day I will pay a painful price for the power I pursue... At that time, did you already know Yun'er may become the price!"

"Yes." Jun Fengxi said bluntly.

Snapped!
After a slap across the face, Li Ci's face completely sank.

"Since you already knew that Yun'er might become the price for my pursuit of power, why didn't you tell me earlier! He is the reincarnation of the person you expected! You...you...how can...how can..."

Words could not even express the anger in her heart, she hesitated for a long time, and finally turned into a deep sob, frozen in the slightly cold wind.

"...I...I thought her life was just as simple as dying...She is an existence that cannot be tolerated in the world, so in the previous three hundred reincarnations, almost every life...Death...For me, death is nothing but It's a temporary departure, so I..."

"—So you think this time is also a temporary departure?!"

Cruel words like sharp knives cut open Jun Fengxi's skin and gouged out a large piece of heart.

"...I really thought so..."

He muttered, the corners of his lips were pale, and his eyes were as fragile and helpless as a flame that was about to be extinguished in a strong wind.

Witnessing his despair, Li Ci was shocked to find that his furious heart calmed down.

Yes, he was riddled with wounds, no matter how sharp and vicious the accusation was, it could only add an insignificant scratch to the deep and visible bone wound.

So she sighed and said: "The night before last, lotus flowers all over the city were in bloom..."

"……heard……"

"It just happened to be the night of returning to the soul." Li Ci added.

"...Ah, Huihun Ye." Jun Fengxi repeated dumbly.

Li Ci said again: "I saw him. He came back, really... came back... right in front of me, so handsome and peerless. I never thought that there is really a man in the world who can be so beautiful , so beautiful that the gods envy him...he said a lot of comforting words to me, and he didn't have a word of blame, but I...I feel even more uncomfortable..."

"...I hate my incompetence, I hate that I can't stop this from happening...I hate everyone involved in this conspiracy, and I hate myself even more!"

"So I decided, I will give my all,...kill all of them, and I will make all those who participated in this conspiracy pay the price! Destroy the bones and ashes, and there is no redemption!"

As if she was just talking to herself, but also as if she was making a promise, the corners of her mouth were sharp as she looked at the remnant lotus half covered in the snow.

That beauty, like the fire of red lotus, carried the determination of destruction, Jun Fengxi looked at her smile, and raised her head involuntarily.

"...I will help you."

He said, speaking slowly, softly, with unshakable determination.

"I have always stood alone and proudly outside the world of mortals, treating the world as ants. But starting today, I will no longer look at you with that look. I... have nothing left, except revenge... I don't have any strength to support me to live... But... It really is God's will in the dark, and the pseudonym I took off by hand turned out to be real... Feng was born for the phoenix, but Feng can't find the phoenix, even if he has Even with all his abilities, he couldn't find Huang...Only with him is the eternal loneliness..."

Sad, painful, and heavy words flowed out lonely, falling on the soft snow without a trace of echo.

Li Ci glanced at him, and said to himself: "... I was born on the big chessboard of the world, and I have seen a lot of conspiratorial people. They love to manipulate the fate of others and make a mess of other people's lives They are the creatures I hate the most, and they are the kind of person I am unknowingly becoming. As you said, I am very hypocritical. I am clearly in power, but I like to dress myself up as innocent, even if I hurt others, I also want to put a veil of warmth and helplessness on myself. It seems that there are always so many last resorts. But starting today, I will no longer avoid... For Yuner, for this home that can no longer bear any loss, I will No longer being indecisive, I want to fight my way out! Let everyone be punished, including the woman hiding in the imperial city! For this goal, I—— fear nothing!"

Jun Fengxi listened quietly, and suddenly said: "Even if the whole world is an enemy?"

"Yes, even if the whole world is an enemy."

Speaking quietly, Li Ci's face was not agitated, as if he was just stating a very natural truth.

"Okay, it's good that you have this ambition." Jun Fengxi said indifferently.

"I may need your help when necessary."

"I won't be stingy." He said coldly, and suddenly said: "Does he know your thoughts?"

He was referring to Ye Chuan.

"I know part of it, and the other part. I will tell him when the time is right."

Li Ci said frankly that Ye Chuan is a pure Xie after all, a man who has accepted the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor for more than 20 years. Killed half of the court, but his knife was destined not to swing at the woman deep in the imperial city.

Even if he is the same as her, he knows that woman is the culprit!
"Then... according to Lord Hou, let's pacify the Western Regions first. After all, Lord Hou still cares about the relationship between the monarch and his subjects, but when he has more military achievements and higher status, the empress dowager mother and son will be jealous of him." It will get deeper... One day, he will face the situation of choosing one or the other... He has to make a choice."

Jun Fengxi's words are still so cold, as if the overall situation in the world is just a small matter of talking and laughing.

Because the eyes turned silvery white, and the smile was coated with the cold of winter.

"First, the first step is to unite with the Turks to destroy the Guangming Sect!"

Speaking indifferently, his fingers made a shallow hole on the snow-covered bluestone tabletop.
