[Nor will they wantonly and indiscriminately harm innocent people.]
[Besides, Xilin in her previous life had also encountered situations like yours right now.]
[The Judgment-level Honkai Beast "Benares" that was born with her as a Herrscher can also transform into a human form, and she even calls him Bella by chance. ]
[This alone shows that she is still clear-headed. ]
Due to various reasons, Xilin was more confused about Lu Mian's "sudden" transformation into a human, but she did not have even a trace of ill feeling at all.
Facing Xilin's barrage of questions, Lu Mian pulled the corners of his mouth, raised a gentle smile, and said softly:
"I did tell you that I couldn't turn into a human, but wasn't that when we first met? After all these years of 'cultivation', I have achieved some success and can turn into a human again. How can you say that I lied to you?
"And do you really think two years is a short time and everything that happened during that time was sudden?
"Although I have never heard of the fame you have made in the past two years, I have been fortunate enough to witness your deeds of punishing evil and promoting good. Do you want me to list and settle accounts with you?"
"Ah, so you know everything."
After hearing Lu Mian's orderly response, Xilin, who had been questioning aggressively, was stunned at first, and then her eyes softened again and again, but she didn't say anything else.
It is really a happy thing to unexpectedly find out that someone cares about you.
Perhaps, two years is really a long time.
In just a moment, somehow, she suddenly lost her previous rebellious mentality.
When she laughs, she is still as happy and cheerful as before.
A long time, a long time.
Xilin, who felt inexplicably moved, stopped smiling. Although she no longer wanted to ask further questions, she still asked curiously:
"So when did you become a human? What was the scene like then?"
“Um, on the day you left, in front of Bella?” Lu Mian, still chuckling, responded subconsciously.
After saying this, he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.
As expected, after hearing this, the originally gentle expression on Xilin's face suddenly became a little angry and... resentful?
She pouted, a bit like an eggplant or a giant mushroom that had turned into a spirit, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you what's going on.
"As soon as I left, Bella begged you to turn into a human, right?"
After saying this, he didn't care about anything else and moved his hips to get closer, waiting for the right moment to approach.
Afterwards, the two of them started laughing and playing on the sofa.
During this time, Maya passed by with some fruit, put the fruit on the coffee table, and looked at it for a long time with her eyes covered.
Covering your eyes means covering your eyes in the physical sense.
Looking for a long time means looking through the gaps between the fingertips.
Well, the family of three can be said to be happy?
It is said that time is a closed loop. Look, as we walk along, it seems like we are back to the starting point.
After Mei Ya left and the fight was over, the disheveled Lu Mian held Xilin in his arms and helped her fix her dress.
Then he spoke in a gentle voice:
"You've done a good job in the past two years, but what I want to say more to you is that you have worked hard during this period. Welcome home, little angel."
He was not stingy with the recognition and praise that an "elder" could give, and of course, deep concern.
Hearing this, the blush on Xilin's delicate face, who was still a little out of breath, deepened a little.
This time my face turned red.
She couldn't help being excited like a half-grown child, but pretended to be mature and dragged out her voice, "Well - actually it's not as great as you say, and it's not that hard, hehe."
There was nothing wrong with those two sweet, innocent chuckles at the end, but for some reason they seemed a little silly.
It looks like a very beautiful giant insect...
-----------------
[Perhaps the novelty brought by the huge transformation from a cat to a human is very appealing to people, or perhaps your appearance is really too amazing, which can really make people unable to close their legs and walk.]
[In short, Xilin stays by your side all day, even at night.]
That night, on the roof of the villa.
The cold wind was howling. Under the reflection of the starry sky and the aurora, Lu Mian and Xilin sat side by side on the snow-swept roof and talked to each other.
In a place like the Siberian Plain, ordinary people would find even the thickest clothes too thin.
On the contrary, the two people, who were wearing clothes that seemed to have no warmth-keeping effect, looked normal and were talking and laughing.
After all, one of them is a magical cat and the other is a magical girl.
They all sound like alien creatures that are not affected by extreme weather and in most cases only exist in fantasy.
We said we were going to sit and talk, but we've been talking for a whole day, so what else is there to talk about?
It is said that distance creates beauty...
Anyway, Lu Mian couldn't find any interesting topics.
So I can only fall into speechless silence.
Xilin was not much better about this.
During the silence, Xilin looked at Lu Mian's handsome profile, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity arose again and surged into her heart.
She had already experienced this very familiar feeling in the early morning, and her eyes focused as she began to think carefully.
Then, driven by this feeling, the time reflected in her eyes flowed back rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, they returned to the scene before their rebirth—when Kiana and Lu Mian were lying on the same bed.
This face - is it the man who was lying with me and kissing my forehead secretly before? !
Such a thought flashed through her mind, and in an instant, Xilin's golden-orange eyes seemed to be filled with a few strands of frost, as if she had realized something.
At the same time, her magic power, which had caused her a lifetime of suffering after being deceived many times in her previous life, began to become a little restless.
Feeling the subtle changes in the people around him, Lu Mian turned his head and blinked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
This concern, which was no different from the usual one, was met with Xilin's vigilance and alienation.
"Who are you? Where is this place? Is this an illusion you created to gain my trust?!" She seemed to have really returned to the beginning and turned into the bloodthirsty little wolf who accidentally broke into the crowd.
After hearing these words, Lu Mian was confused.
After all, he didn't pay much attention to Kiana's specific condition before he started the simulation, and he didn't know that Xilin had already woken up at that time.
Although I still don’t know why Xilin was fine before, but suddenly had an expression of "I found out the truth" on her face.
But Lu Mian did not hesitate or hesitate, nor did he care about the other party's vigilance and alienation. He grabbed her tender and slender hand and pressed it on his chest, where his heart was beating.
His voice was gentle but firm, his expression was solemn but calm, without any panic or fear, "Although I don't know why it turned out like this, I know that you doubt me now, and you probably won't listen to my explanation or think about having a good talk with me.
"Then come and listen to its voice. It is much more sincere than I am and will never lie to you."
Witnessed by the holy snow and moon and the howling cold wind, the man handed his pounding heart to the girl whose magic power was ready to be unleashed, without even the slightest hesitation.
"Bang, bang, bang—"
Feeling the warmth coming from her palms and the steady yet heavy heartbeat, Xilin remained silent and unmoved.
What does everything in front of me mean?
do not know.
The only thing that is clear is that she can now easily kill the person in front of her with just a flick of her finger.
Perhaps this "illusion" before our eyes can be broken?
Will this prevent deception and avoid getting hurt?
[This time, facing the multiple-choice questions that could be easily answered in the past life or even "in the past", Xilin hesitated. ]
【Didn’t I say that?】
【She is no longer the same person she once was. 】
[She has walked too far, the way she came here has long been blurred. Now when she looks back, she can no longer see a trace of decisiveness in killing.]
Xilin hesitated in her heart, but she withdrew her hand without resistance. The words that came out of her pink lips, which were as red as peach petals, were colder than the snow and the cold wind:
"I'm asking you again, who are you and where is this place?"
It's as if he would kill someone if they disagreed with him.
Chapter 10: Silin Haiyudaga (Two in One)
On the rooftop where the cold wind was howling, Lu Mian and Xilin were confronting each other.
"I'll ask you again, who are you and where is this place?" Although Xilin didn't do anything radical or impulsive, her delicate face was cold.
It was as if they were going to start fighting if they had a disagreement.
She was waiting, waiting for an explanation that was reasonable and convincing.
Seeing this scene, Lu Mian not only did not show any nervousness or panic, but also chuckled gently.
It seemed as if it could warm up and melt all the frost on the Siberian plains.
He smiled, because although the following explanation would certainly be troublesome, it would not be completely impossible to turn around.
After all, given the stubborn nature of this silly girl, once she makes up her mind about something, she will definitely not change it and will definitely be very extreme.
There is only one reason why I am willing to listen to the explanation quietly like now:
Not only do they not think or are unwilling to believe that this world and everything that happens in this world is a carefully prepared false scam, but they are willing to be coaxed into listening to explanations.
What does this mean?
It’s stable!
Anyway, the Magic Cat feels that it is stable, stable!
After waiting for a long time but only getting an inexplicably warm smile, Xilin couldn't help but feel a little impatient. She grasped the fabric of Lu Mian's clothes on his chest and began to shake it back and forth.
At the same time, the sound made by the speaker also gave people a feeling of "I am anxious" that I wanted to be serious but somehow couldn't hold it back:
"I'm warning you! Don't try to fool me with your frivolous smile. I won't buy it.
"Now, give me the explanation I want right now."
Lu Mian was swayed back and forth by the soft force that was obviously still unrestrained.
Knowing that he could no longer "tease" the girl's feelings, he concealed the remaining smile on his face.
She cleared her throat, and because she was being swung, her voice became a rather funny tremolo, "Okay, okay, my little angel, my good queen. I will give you any explanation you want, without any falsehood.
"But in order to explain better, I need to know some important information in advance, such as - why do you suddenly doubt everything that is happening when you have never gotten angry with your family even if you are a little disobedient?"
"Disobedient...tsk." Although Xilin didn't seem to agree with Lu Mian's statement, she didn't refute anything.
After hesitating for a moment, a blush gradually spread across her face, and she explained with a little embarrassment:
“Although I don’t know how much you know, but didn’t you know from the beginning that I have an unusual secret?
“Now let me make it clear, I am a reborn person, and I had a dream just before I was reborn into this world.
"I dreamed that a man kissed my forehead intimately. Now tell me, was it a dream or reality?"
After hearing this explanation, Lu Mian was stunned at first.
He did not have any incredible memory, and about ten years had passed since the day the simulation began.
Naturally, I have to think carefully for a while.
Gradually, trivial everyday memories came flooding back.
Lu Mian pursed his lips as he recalled the farewell kiss with Kiana and figured out everything through Xilin's narration.
I just feel that there are very few times in my life when I am so speechless.
