041 “Blessing from Heavenly Official” Chapter 40
by☆Chapter 40 Ji Lefang brings you to ask about the fairy music 2
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Xie Lian felt that Hua Cheng’s shoulders seemed to be stiff for a moment.
After a moment, Huacheng looked as usual and said: “I said it. Next time I see you, I will use my original face.”
She smiled gratefully, patted him on the shoulder, and said sincerely: “Very good.”
Neither ridicule nor comfort, don’t say a word, just take it naturally.Huacheng smiled. This time, his expression was truly normal.The two walked a few steps, and Xie Lian suddenly remembered something very important that he hadn’t confirmed to Huacheng yet. He took off the silver chain from his chest and said, “By the way, is this the one you left behind?”
Huacheng glanced at the ring and smiled: “It’s for you.”
Thanks for the pity: “What is this?”
Huacheng said: “It’s not something valuable, just bring it with you for fun.”
Although he said this, Xie Lian knew that this thing must not be that simple, and said: “Thank you very much, Saburo.”
Seeing him put the ring back on, Huacheng’s eyes flickered.Xie Lian looked around and said: “When I heard you say you were coming to Bliss Fang in the gambling house, I thought Bliss Fang was some kind of fireworks place. From this point of view, it looks like a singing and dancing band.”
Huacheng raised his eyebrows and said: “What are you talking about, brother? I never go to the land of fireworks.”
This made Xie Lianqi wonder, and said: “Seriously?”
Huacheng said: “Naturally take it seriously.”
The two of them walked to Mo Yutan’s side and sat side by side. He added, “This place is for me to practice and play. It is considered as one of my residences. I can come and hang out when I have time, and I don’t have time to ignore it.”
Thanks for the pity: “It turns out to be your home.”
Huacheng corrected him: “Residence. Not home.”
After chatting for a while, he thanked Lian and said, “Sanlang, I have something I need to ask you for. I wonder if you are free.”
Huacheng said: “What’s the matter? In my place, if you have anything to say, just tell me.”
After pondering for a moment, he thanked Lian and said, “I was dealing with some matters with Junshan before. I met a young man who may have some connection with my homeland.”
Hearing him mention the word “origin”, Huacheng’s eyes narrowed and he was speechless.Xie Lian continued: “But I didn’t handle it properly at the time and scared him away. Later, I asked someone to search for his whereabouts, but I never saw him again. I just walked around in this ghost market, but I seemed to have met him accidentally. Saburo is the owner of this place. I wonder if you can help me find him? That young man’s face was covered with bandages, and he just escaped from the gate of Paradise Square.”
Huacheng didn’t say much. He stood up and whispered a few words, as if he was channeling someone.After a while, he sat down again and said with a smile: “Okay, just wait.”
He is the master of the ghost market, so it is naturally easier for him to do things than him.Xie Lian breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you so much again.”
Huacheng said: “What is this? But, you just left Lang Qianqiu?”
Xie Lian thought to himself that if Lang Qianqiu was here and was straightforward, it was hard to say what would happen. It would be better to meet up later.He said casually: “I was in the gambling house just now. Your Highness Taihua may have caused you trouble. I’m sorry.”
The contemptuous smile appeared on Huacheng’s face again, and he said: “Where is it? He is not qualified enough to be troublesome.”
Thanks for the pity: “His Royal Highness Taihua is also born like this. When he saw that kind of gambling, he felt that he had to stop it, so he acted impulsively.”
Huacheng said softly: “That’s because he has too little knowledge. He chooses the latter without hesitation between letting himself live ten more years and letting his enemy live ten less years. This is human hatred.” After saying that, he sneered again, crossed his arms, and said: “A fool like Lang Qianqiu can soar. There is really no one in heaven.”
“…”
Xie Lian rubbed his brows a little guiltily and said to himself: “You can’t say that, after all, I am a rag collector and can ascend…”
After hesitating for a moment, he still said: “Sanlang, if you say this, you may have gone too far, but I still want to say one more thing. Your gambling house is very dangerous. I’m afraid something will happen one day.”
This kind of gambling, where children bet on women and people bet on life span and sudden death, is really very sinful.Moreover, it is nothing more than a small fight. If one day the bet becomes too big, Heaven will be unable to stand idly by sooner or later.Hearing this, Huacheng looked at him and said: “Your Highness, have you asked Lang Qianqiu why he rushed out?”
Xie Lian was slightly startled, wondering why he suddenly asked this.Huacheng added: “I guess he must have told you that if he didn’t do this, no one would do it.”
Thanks for the pity: “You guessed it accurately, he did say that.”
Huachengdao: “Then, I am the complete opposite. If I don’t control this kind of place, there will still be another person who will control it. Rather than controlling it in the hands of others, it is better to control it in my hands.”
Thanks for understanding.
Everyone has their own path. He doesn’t know what the ghost world is like, and it’s hard to say much.Huacheng said again: “However, thank you for your concern, brother.”
At this moment, Xie Lian heard a voice coming from the door.A young man said: “City Lord, the boy with the bandage has been found by his subordinates.”
Xie Lian looked towards the door and saw a masked young man in black standing at the door of Bliss Square, outside the bead curtain, bowing slightly.And what he held in his hand was the ragged boy with a bandage.
Huacheng didn’t look back and said: “Bring it here.”
The young man in black carried the young man in and gently placed him on the ground.The boy with the bandage probably knew he couldn’t run away, so he just lowered his head after being put down.Xie Lian accidentally glanced at the young man’s wrist and suddenly discovered that there was a black curse circle on the man’s wrist.
He was very familiar with this thing.
Shackles!
The young man sent the person over, bowed again, and then retreated.Xie Lian should have looked at him more, but at the moment there were people who needed his attention more.He leaned close to the young man and quickly said, “Don’t be afraid. It was my fault last time, and I won’t do it again.”
The young man had big eyes, full of surprise and uncertainty.Maybe he ran away several times and didn’t have the strength to run again.She looked at him and then at the small case on Mo Yu’s couch.Xie Lian followed his gaze and saw a plate of brightly colored fruits on the small case.
It seems that this young man has been hiding here and there for a long time and has not eaten for many days.Xie Lian turned to Huacheng. Before he could speak, Huacheng said: “You can do whatever you want. Don’t ask me.”
Xie Lian couldn’t bear to be polite anymore and said, “Thank you very much.” He took the plate of fruit and handed it to the bandaged boy.The young man snatched the plate away in one fell swoop and started stuffing it into his mouth.
It seemed that he had been hungry for many days and was very hungry.Even when Xie Lian was at his lowest and as hungry as a wild dog, he might not have eaten as voraciously as he did.Xie Lian didn’t know what to say, so he could only say: “Slow down.”
After a pause, he tried to ask: “What’s your name?”
The young man seemed to want to speak vaguely while eating, but he couldn’t speak clearly.Huacheng said: “He may not have talked to anyone for many years, and he is not very good at talking.”
Indeed, it seems that this young man has not even said a few words to Xiaoying, and I am afraid this has already happened.Xie Lian sighed: “Take your time.”
At this time, the young man suddenly opened his mouth and said: “…Yingying…”
Xie Lian immediately looked at him and said, “What did you say? Are you talking about Miss Xiaoying?”
The young man nodded, pointed at himself, and said: “…Firefly.”
Xie Lian understood and said: “You mean, can I call you Ying?”
The young man nodded again.At this time, he had eaten up the whole plate of fruit like a whirlwind.Xie Lian saw that the bandage on his face was stained with blood, black and red. After thinking for a moment, he said warmly: “You have injuries on your face. It seems very serious. Let me help you take a look.”
When this was mentioned, the young man’s eyes showed fear again.However, thanks to his gentle words of persuasion, he sat down obediently.
Xie Lian came to him and took out a bottle of medicinal powder from his sleeve to remove the stained bandage. Huacheng said from the side: “I’ll do it.”
Xie Lian shook his head and slowly took off the messy bandage.
Sure enough, although the young man’s face was a bloody mess, all those terrifying faces were gone, leaving only a series of bright red scars.
The last time I saw Junshan, although there were burns on his face, there was not so much blood on the bandages.Sure enough, this young man later used a knife to cut or scratch the faces left behind by the epidemic.
Xie Lian was applying medicinal powder to the young man’s face, while his hands were shaking slightly.At this time, Huacheng held his wrist and said, “I’ll do it.”
Xie Lian shook his head, gently broke away from his hand, and said in a deep voice: “No need. I will do it myself.”
Eight hundred years ago in the Imperial City of Xianle, many people who were infected with the human pandemic would choose to do this if they had no choice but to do so.That scene was truly hell on earth.Some made mistakes and cut where they shouldn’t have, bleeding to death.Although some people have their faces removed, the wounds never heal.
As Xie Lian put new bandages on him layer by layer, he discovered more and more that the boy’s face and facial features were actually very straight, with a straight nose and clear black and white eyes. He was supposed to be a handsome young man, but now he has such a suffocating appearance.He is the same as those people. Even if those deformed faces are cut off, it will still be a face that makes people have nightmares at a glance. After that, they will never be able to return to their original appearance.
Xie Lian managed to wrap a new bandage on him with great difficulty, and said in a trembling voice: “Are you from Xianle Country?”
The young man looked over with his big eyes. Thanks for asking a few more times, he shook his head.Thanks for the pity: “Then who are you?”
Yingying seemed to think for a while before replying: “…Yong…an…”
This young man turned out to be from Yongan Kingdom!
Xie Lian felt his eyes darken and blurted out: “Have you ever seen…Bai Wuxiang?”
