Cheesy stories are always too boring.

"When the days settled down, the people began to worry about other things. Their young king should have been perfect."

"The only drawback is that the king has never been able to welcome his destined person, and this perfect country does not have a queen who belongs to it."

"The huge royal court was empty, and the young king began to think about whether it was really necessary to respond to the pleas of his people and find a queen who could complement himself."

"That is not only good for yourself, but also a good thing for the entire country."

"The king thought this way, so he did this. He began to look for his destined person in and outside his own country, but the superior gods seemed to have made a joke with him."

"The gods in the sky made the first joke with the young king."

"The young king can reach the sky, his appearance is noble, and his beauty is unparalleled."

"God said, give you the honor that belongs to a king, give you a look that matches the gods, and give you the power to surpass all living beings."

"God said to the king, your people respect you, fear you, are loyal to you, and protect you. You already have enough. As a price, now, I want to take something from..., something insignificant.

"

"At least, to the king, it is indeed like that, something insignificant."

"Strength, power, status, wealth, appearance, loyalty, people, he still has everything a perfect king should have."

Having said this, Bai Mian paused for a while, picked up the stone cup at hand and took a sip of water.

"Then what did he lose?" Chi Huo couldn't help but interjected.

"It is very impolite to interrupt the storyteller by asking questions before the story ends." Bai Mian smiled slightly, with loving eyes, and looked at the young man across the table.

The look in his eyes made Chi Huo feel excited. He sat down hurriedly, but secretly began to complain about someone's pettiness.

I always say that I am a serious storyteller, but the story I told is not that good at all. To say it is ordinary is not an exaggeration.

Bai Mian put down the stone cup and continued: "The young king lost..."

"It's love." He finally satisfied Chi Huo's curiosity.

But maybe this is part of the story, and these are uncertain things.

"Love, it is really a very wonderful thing. It is dispensable, irrelevant and indispensable - two completely different judgments can appear on the same thing without any contradiction, so it is really

It's very strange." Bai Mian glanced at Chu Qingchen and Chi Huo who were in a daze, and said calmly, "Anyway, I don't understand it. This is not a clear story written in the book, and I am not a bystander. I can't tell it.

Well, this story is completely normal.”

Chi Huo, who had his thoughts exposed, laughed dryly and had no words.

"What the young king has lost is not his own love. He still has the ability to love, the choice to love, and the freedom to love."

"The joke the gods played on him was far more cruel than that. He lost the love of all living beings for him."

"He still has everything. His people respect him, fear him, and admire him, but no one can fall in love with him anymore."

"The king is a kind king. He comforts himself in this way. His queen does not need to fall in love with him, but only needs to love his country and people. But even so, no one dares to stand by the king's side.

Walk side by side with the perfect King.”

"Wang is disappointed, but not desperate. Wang will never give up on any goal he wants to achieve."

"But is that goal really the wish that Wang himself wants to achieve?"

Bai Mian sighed softly, and stroked the sharp fangs of the ghost's face with her long jade fingers. She placed her fingertips on her heart and tapped it three times.

"No one knows the answer, and no one has enough courage to speculate on the king's thoughts."

"Fortunately, the king is very young. He has a long, long time to wait for a queen who can fall in love with him and belong to him."

said the young king.

【Things in the world are never absolute.】

[Even if the decision is made by God, it is not immutable and cannot be changed.]

"The king is not defeated by the gods' play, he is still perfect."

"Then, the superior gods and the young and perfect king made a second joke."

"While the king was waiting for the queen who could fall in love with him, he couldn't help but fall in love with someone he shouldn't have fallen in love with."

[Those who are trapped in the royal court yearn for freedom, ethereal and unpredictable clouds.]

"A girl of noble birth, beautiful appearance, dignified, generous and intelligent, perfectly meets all the beautiful aspirations of the king's people for the king and queen. Everyone thinks that this is a perfect destiny marriage.

.”

[The king brought the still young girl to his side, took good care of her, devoted 12% of his efforts, and personally taught her how to become a qualified king. 】

"Including the girl's mother and the girl's only sister, everyone thinks this arrangement is perfect."

[No one paid attention to the girl's own wishes, her mother could not hear her pleas, and her only sister turned a blind eye to her pain and walked away from home.]

"The girl's elder sister thought she had solved the lifelong problem of her young sister, and happily took her husband and children to a distant place."

"The story should have ended here."

Bai Mian's voice suddenly became cheerful, and he looked at Chi Huo with astonishment on his face with interest.

"If I remember correctly, your ancestor also fell in love with someone he shouldn't love. What about you, what do you think about this?"

The young man in front of him is the direct descendant of Chiyan Ji. The red flame on his forehead means that he has awakened the same ability as his great ancestor.

"Why are you telling stories and getting involved in me?" Chi Huo muttered in a low voice, "Is there any connection between the two?"

"I'm not asking you, so how would I know?" Bai Mian replied with a smile.

Chi Huo was speechless for a moment, but he seriously thought about the question asked by the white-haired boy.

He recalled that he was following the traces of Chi Yan Ji, and saw the bits and pieces left by Chi Yan Ji and someone while traveling north across the Demon Realm. He also recalled the phantom he saw before the Bai Mu illusion collapsed.

Although Chi Huo had already made a guess, he still found it extremely ridiculous.

My family knows their own affairs, it is something that everyone knows very well but keeps silent about.

As the founder of Eclipse Island, one of the four holy places of the human race, Chiyan Ji did not leave any descendants.

All the people on Eclipse Island who are called the direct descendants of Scarlet Flame Princess are actually the descendants of Scarlet Flame Princess's only sister.

Unlike Wu Nian Mountain, which has no trace, and Wu Nian Tower and Tianxiao Academy, which are located in the center of the human domain, the location of Eclipse Island is really special.

It is a human holy land, but it is located in the hinterland of the Demon Realm.

"After the battle at Fangshan, Chiyan Ji felt that she could no longer trust the human race. Before she made a certain decision, she entrusted the most important person in her life to the demon who had traveled with her and the Luoshui Goddess in the sky in the past.

Territory Emperor." Bai Mian held his chin with his hands, looking at Chi Huo and minding his own business.

"Forging a red leaf alliance and forming a friendship between the two clans sounds really wonderful. The premise is that no one takes the initiative to break that agreement."

"But in fact, Chiyan Ji's worries are not unreasonable. After the fall of Xuan Shuangzi, the human race once again violated the covenant and separated from the demon race. The demon emperor who followed the agreement defended himself and the love of his life before passing away.

The descendants left behind a piece of pure land.”

"As the rumors say, the missing Scarlet Flame Princess and the Goddess of Luoshui went to a new world hand in hand. Look, are there any similarities between the two stories?"

The white-haired boy pretended to be innocent, waiting for Chi Huo's response.

"I think it should be different..." Chi Huo was silent for a long time and expressed his thoughts.

Although some things are still difficult for him to accept, they are other people's affairs and he is not qualified to point fingers.

"I don't know what kind of person that young king is, and I don't know what kind of person the Demon King and his ancestors were like thousands of years ago, and whether they are in love or not, but - Eclipse Island has always been a very good place.

The good thing is that it is aloof from the world, clean and simple, the relationship between the islanders is harmonious, and there are not so many intrigues from the outside world."

There are not only humans on Eclipse Island, but also many monsters and beasts. There are wonderful existences that maintain the balance between the three, and the island has a happy atmosphere.

"If it's so good, why did you leave?"

Chi Huo lowered his eyebrows and said in a low tone: "The expectations are too heavy and the shamelessness to face them is Chi Huo's incompetence."

In fact, the elders and parents in the clan never expected what kind of person he could become, right?

No one would ever think that the resources thrown at him would be a useless waste. For a child who was born with a disability and had trouble practicing cultivation, the people of the tribe still pity and love him more than the proud son of the tribe.

We, in order to take into account the poor self-esteem of our little brother, we always restrain our light on weekdays.

He, she, it.

They always say that we are all the same and there is no difference.

Chi Huo laughed at himself. He had always understood that those so-called expectations and burdens were just what he felt.

From beginning to end, the only one he could not face was himself.

"If they never loved each other, why would we exist?" Chi Huo said seriously.

"As for the ancestor, no matter who she falls in love with, it is her own choice."

"If we love each other, that's fine."

"You're right." Bai Mian thought for a while and said seriously, "If we don't love each other, having children must be a very painful thing."

"It's a pity that many people don't think so. They are obviously just spectators outside the story. They just need to read the story quietly and dutifully, but they insist on inserting themselves into the story."
