Chapter 757 A Conversation with Xiaoyu

“Xiaoyu, have you ever fallen in love with someone?” Lin Mengya asked.

The firelight shone on her face, drying the water drops on her face and turning her from a lovely lotus flower just out of water to a gorgeous rose.

Lin Zhongyu glanced at Lin Mengya hesitantly, but finally shook his head.

“If you love someone, you’ll want to give her all good things in the world while trying to protect her from danger. For me, the relics of the Guwei State are my fate, not his. I’ll be selfish if I drag him into this dangerous situation. But now, even if I die later, he’ll at least be able to live on,” Lin Mengya said.

The relics of the Guwei State, what everyone was crazy about but she hated bitterly, now got in her way.

If she could make it through this, everything would be fine. If she failed, she would pass away like a cloud.

Since she had to sacrifice her life, why bother to get him involved in this?

“I see. Sister, have a good rest. We’ll go down the mountain tomorrow,” Lin Zhongyu said.

After falling silent for a moment, he somehow turned and left the cave.

Watching his delicate and thin back, Lin Mengya sighed lightly.

The god of destiny made fools of the people. If she hadn’t raised Xiaoyu in her mansion after saving him, maybe he wouldn’t have become like this.

She had refused to submit herself to fate.

But now, she suddenly realized that fate was the most dramatic screenwriter and no one could escape from being tricked by it.

Xiaoyu was considerate indeed. The moment Lin Mengya put down the bowl of porridge, she saw the clean clothes he prepared beside her.

After changing her clothes and looking at herself in the water for a while, she became a handsome young man again.

Lin Mengya touched her haggard face and could not help but smile bitterly. How could she not feel guilty about lying to Long Tianyu? But she forced herself to perform her duty.

“Sister, have you changed your clothes?” She heard Xiaoyu’s muffled voice from the tunnel.

Lin Mengya was never a sentimental person, and it was not her nature to indulge in memories.

She got up and went downward. A moment later, she appeared in front of Xiaoyu gracefully.

Lin Zhongyu’s eyes lit up. He didn’t know what was going on. Anyway, he found that since his sister woke up in the snake head pool, she seemed to have become more gorgeous and charming.

If he had to describe it with one word, he could only say that his sister became more charming.

Most of charming ladies were of dazzling beauty, dressed in resplendent clothes with luxurious jewelry.

Lin Zhongyu, who had seen plenty of beauties, was naturally not interested in that kind of so-called gorgeous ladies who gave out a fragrance of cosmetics strong enough to linger in his mind for three years.

Lin Mengya was different. She, dressed in plain and simple clothes with her hair neatly done in a bun and no makeup, was of unadorned beauty, but naturally eye-appealing and charming.

Her beauty was not seductive and did not arouse his evil thought, but he involuntarily kept her appearance in mind at first glance.

Rubbing his eyes, Lin Zhongyu found something strange.

In the past, his sister was beautiful, but her beauty was not so... so overwhelming.

Yes, her beauty was overwhelming.

Even among a batch of beauties, she was the most eye-appealing at first glance, as if she were the queen of flowers superior to any indescribably beautiful flower.

In the twinkling of an eye, Lin Mengya walked up to Xiaoyu.

At the sight that this silly boy stared at her blankly and rubbed his eyes from time to time, Lin Mengya reached out to gently rub his head and asked in a soft voice as before, “What are you looking at?”

Xiaoyu returned to himself, scratched his head and said with an embarrassed look, “Nothing, I just find that you seem to be a little different, sister. Just now, I seemed to be possessed and couldn’t look away from you.”

Hearing Xiaoyu say that in embarrassment, Lin Mengya didn’t just smile to smooth things over.

Instead, she reached out to grab Xiaoyu’s wrist and put her slender fingers on his wrist to feel his pulse.

“Who taught you the witchcraft?” Lin Mengya asked with a severe look in her burning eyes.

Despite Xiaoyu’s status and composure, he was involuntarily at a loss how to answer his sister.

Lin Mengya checked on Xiaoyu for a while and pinched him.

Then she said reproachfully with a sullen look, “It’s not easy to learn witchcraft. You learn it without a solid foundation and are over anxious for quick results. Are you seeking death?”

Xiaoyu lowered his head silently, aware of why his sister got angry.

But only in this way could he become her helper instead of her burden in the shortest time possible.

“Tell me, in your clan, are only the members proficient in witchcraft able to get greater power? Or did your uncles have to teach you witchcraft in this way so that you could gain a seat in your clan?” Lin Mengya asked.

Xiaoyu trembled slightly, lowered his head and said nothing.

Lin Mengya took a deep glance at the poor boy. She had just thought that Xiaoyu’s clan was in a mess, but she did not expect his family members to use him as a shield.

“Silly boy, I was a little harsh, but do you know that if you go on like this, you will become a jar of venomous insects rather than a normal person? Fortunately, you are my brother. Now try to feel the difference of your body.” As Lin Mengya said, she patted him on the head tenderly.

She knew that it was not all Xiaoyu’s fault. Although he was eager to get achievements in witchcraft, those who told him about this method actually added fuel to the fire.

Now that she had reunited with Xiaoyu, she would take back what he deserved and avenge his wrongs.

“Eh? What’s going on?” Xiaoyu exclaimed.

Hearing Lin Mengya’s words, he, who had always been obedient to her, involuntarily activated the venomous insects in his body. As expected, the venomous insects were no longer restless and seemed to be much tamer.

At least, he, who had suffered from unbearable pain and itchiness, felt much better now.

He couldn’t help looking up at his sister, both surprised and delighted.

“Now my blood can be considered the king of all poisons. The venomous insects in your body feed on poison, so they are certainly afraid of me. You just said that you seemed to be unable to look away from me. It’s because of the venomous insects in your body. From now on, all those who have been immersed in poison making all the year round will involuntarily submit themselves to me. But don’t worry, it’s no big deal. With my blood to restrain the venomous insects in your body, you can set your mind at ease.” Lin Mengya gave a mysterious explanation that stunned Xiaoyu.

This explained why he found every move of his sister undoubted.

Soon he realized a fatal problem.

He hurriedly grabbed his sister’s arm and said anxiously, “In this case, after you follow me back to the Lieyun Empire, won’t all those people capable of witchcraft discover your identity? I can’t put you in such a dangerous situation!”

Lin Mengya smiled, carefully loosened Xiaoyu’s grip and held his hand.

Meanwhile, she said, “I just called you silly boy, but you are smart this time. It’s all right. You seemed to be unable to look away from me just because this is the birthplace of the toxin of the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass and you just drank my blood. This will happen only when we get out of the cave and my blood is exposed in the air. At other times, they will only find me quite attractive. Fortunately, I’m good-looking and won’t arouse others’ suspicion.”

Xiaoyu nodded immediately and completely put his mind at ease.

However, he could not help but feel a little dejected.

He had thought that he was no longer the docile child in front of his sister this time. Unexpectedly, his sister taught him another lesson.

“What’s wrong? I’m sorry. I was a little anxious, so I was harsh on you. Don’t be angry with me, okay?” Lin Mengya said.

She stroked a strand of long hair on Xiaoyu’s shoulder, thinking his original black hair was smooth and soft to the touch, but now it became grayish-white.

It broke her heart. What had he gone through in the past half a year so that he became like this?

Shaking his head, Xiaoyu held her tender hand.

Although he had reunited with his biological parents, he missed her, from whom he got warmth for the first time in his life, even more.

He took her out through the tunnel and considerately put a fur cloak on her. After that, the two of them sat by the fire as before.

“In fact, I did this voluntarily. I am very grateful to the venomous insects in my body. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to succeed in pretending to be the envoy skilled in witchcraft, replacing him, and helping you,” Xiaoyu said.

Lin Mengya was puzzled by this.

A person like Canying would definitely not trust others easily.

It must have taken Xiaoyu a lot of effort to replace the envoy.

She was more curious about what Xiaoyu was up to.

However, Xiaoyu was no longer the youngster who followed her and called her sister all the time.

There was something beyond his control.

“Well, I’m surprised that you’re so capable. But since you are going to take me back to the Lieyun Empire, you should let me know what I’m going to face, right?” Lin Mengya said.

She was no fool, neither was Xiaoyu.

She decided to visit the Lieyun Empire not only because of Xiaoyu, but also because of the map in her hands.

Now the jade ruler was still in the pool, but the map was in her mind. It was risky to carry anything with her, but her brain now became the most important and safest coffer.
