Are you hungry?
I really didn't know how to react to Zi Ye's words. Excited, feeling sorry for him, not excited. After expounding this matter with great difficulty, I was truly a little excited.
Thus, I was in deep water for a while. My face had previously had a cramp, but now it was even more cramp. The cramp caused tears to seep out from the corner of my eyes.
Zi Ye saw that I had suddenly wiped away my tears for no reason. His ice-cold face unexpectedly melted a little. With a rare gentle tone, he asked, "What are you crying for?"
"I'm touched." I can't say I had a cramp in my face!
Zi Ye hesitated for a moment. He wiped my face with his bony hands and wiped away my tears before asking something I didn't expect. "Are you hungry?"
I suddenly understood why Ziye appeared in the kitchen! His heart was greatly moved, and even his face that had been cramping was now warm again.
But to get down to business, I'm actually really hungry.
Before I prepared to seal the Skinner, I was afraid that if I ate too much, it would affect the movement of the Seal, so I intentionally ate less before sealing it. But who knew that I would be mysteriously thrown into the Underworld, a place where there was no food or drink.
I can imagine the pain in my heart.
When I just found out that I might not be able to eat for a long time in the restaurant, I actually had a faint thought. I wish that I could be a plant in the underworld, I don't need to eat or drink.
The result was not bad. However, when I looked up at the red sun in the sky, my thoughts turned cold. I realized a very objective problem. Even if I became a plant, it would be difficult for a young plant in the mortal world to photosynthesis under the sunlight of the netherworld.
By the way, I haven't counted how long I've been here.
Looking out at the red sun seems to be looking westward even more than I did when I was at the White Sea, which means we didn't actually stay long in that cave. I shouldn't have been out long.
But I was hungry.
I shifted my gaze onto Zi Ye as I said a little embarrassedly, "It's good that you've not even been here for half a day and you're still not very hungry." Actually, I'm a little afraid that even if I say I'm hungry, Zi Ye wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Anyway, he said, it's fine even if I don't eat, so I'll just be a bit hungry, my current requirements are very low. As long as he was alive. As long as she could stay by his side.
Zi Ye looked at me with a puzzled expression. I thought that there was something dirty on my face. I hastily lowered my head to wipe my face. Could it be that I got smeared with ash when I came out? As I rubbed, I asked him if there was anything on his face.
Zi Ye didn't pay attention to my actions and asked, "You said that you haven't been here for more than half a day?"
I thought he was wondering how I knew the time! Then, he pointed to the red sun, which was already half-way to the west, and said somewhat proudly, "I've been able to see the sun's resolution since I was young. How about that, it's very powerful, let me tell you that not only can I rely on the sun to see the time, but also the weather!" This was an amazing ability in the mortal world.
A trace of a helpless smile appeared in the corner of Zi Ye's eyes. "Can you tell the date?"
"This …" My face turned red. I don't know.
At this time, I carefully thought about what Zi Ye meant by that question just now. I suddenly understood what Zi Ye wanted to ask and instantly widened my eyes to look at him. No, how long have I been unconscious? "
Zi Ye replied faintly, "Five days."
A bolt of lightning struck through the top of my head straight into my heart, and I nearly cried out in alarm.
After breathing in and out for a while, I finally managed to digest what I just said. With a face full of disbelief, I said, "You said five days? I was unconscious for five days? So I wasted another five days? I have to be five days late to return to the mortal world? "
As I spoke, Zi Ye's expression darkened after following me for a while. "Do you really want to go back?"
"No, I'm afraid that if I don't go back for too long, my mother will come looking for me! I didn't even go home during my vacation! " I suddenly felt ashamed of my parents. Because I still don't know how to tell my mother that I'm married behind her back, and that I have a son.
The reason I didn't go back during the holidays was because my pregnancy was too big. I had planned to go back home to see my parents after sealing the skinwalker, since I already knew that I could block my pregnancy by drinking animal blood for a while. As a result, when it was the end of the line, the skinwalker even made such a moth out of it.
Just thinking about it made his heart ache. What's more sad is that I actually fainted for five days at a time that should have taken advantage of every day!
They all say that it's been a year since the world began in a different world. I wonder how my mother is doing now, and if it's the same as before, she's been asking Yan Nan's mother about my situation.
She was afraid that if she called me, she would put a burden on my heart. Usually, she would ask about my situation from her mother in Yannan City.
I hope Yannan can tell her mother that I'm doing fine.
Zi Ye looked at my current mood and felt really sad, so he didn't continue talking to me. He just led me to a stone table in the courtyard and sat down. He sat across from me. With a light wave of his purple cloud-like sleeve, a teahouse made out of blue porcelain and white enamel appeared on the stone table.
A white steam rose from the teapot. Zi Ye first poured a cup of tea in front of me, then waved it and passed the cup of water to me. "Don't worry. The time in the Underworld is synchronized with the time in the Yang world."
Zi Ye seemed to know what I was thinking and told me while gently blowing on his lips with the cup of purified water.
But I still have a sadness, I don't know if Ziye can understand. I looked up at him with what must have been a worried expression on my face. "Do you think I won't be able to use my ID if I don't go back for a long time?" There might even be a memorial grave for my family and friends to visit. There might even be some people who would hold onto a piece of paper while whispering to themselves, asking me to bless them all? "
I once had the title of an examiner. Every time I took the exam, there would definitely be various dormitories that would come to find me, whether I knew them or not. They would say that I was here to pay respects, and there would often be people who would directly say to me, "May the exam go smoothly for me."
I really wanted to find a hole to hide in!
But now, I kind of want to find a crack in the ground to climb up.
Zi Ye was helpless after hearing what I said. He shook his head and smirked. "Don't worry. It will be fine."
I asked again, "Zi Ye, if I were to stay here forever, would I wait for my parents and friends?"
Zi Ye's hand that was pouring tea for him paused for a moment before asking me, "Do you want to see them here?"
I know that Zi Ye must have understood the meaning behind my words just now, and I know what kind of answer he would have received. However, facing his rhetorical question, I felt that I could not deceive my own heart.
"No, at least I don't want to see them before I go back." That means I don't want to stay here until the day I die and I can't go back.
Zi Ye's scarlet red eyes stared at the teacup in his hand for a moment before he suddenly placed the cup on the table. He said in a seemingly casual manner, "I will let you go back."
But his tone was a little harsh.
I suddenly felt flustered.
Zi Ye then continued, "I'll go back with you."
"Ever since we got married, I haven't gone to visit my in-laws. I'm lacking in manners."
It was as if a ship had entered my heart, and in the tumult of my emotions, the boat rolled up and down with the waves. After Ziye finished his sentence, I felt as if the boat in my heart had almost flown out of my chest.
I can't help it.
My body seemed to be unable to hold out. They started looking for various places to pour out to show that my body had reached a state of saturation.
The eye was the most suitable outlet.
In the blink of an eye, the hand Ziye reached out to wipe my face was already wet.
The tender flesh that had just sprouted on his face was also wet and stinging from his tears.
I grabbed Zi Ye's hand that was about to retract. My hand was filled with my tears. "Are you speaking the truth?"
I've always been looking forward to one day bringing Ziye home to introduce him to my parents. This is my boyfriend, your son-in-law!
However, the reason why this day had yet to arrive was because, for one thing, I had been busy with various matters related to life and I had no time to think about it. For another, even if I wanted to, I didn't have the time to realize it; and for another, and most importantly, I clearly remembered that I had a conflict with Zishan Ming regarding my attitude towards Uncle Shen.
At that time, Zishan Ming told me that he was a king of the underworld, and his identity made it necessary for him to maintain his dignity to intimidate creatures of all realms. He also said that if my identity was exposed, then I must do what is compatible with this identity.
And I think he's right.
So most of the time I didn't dare talk to him about going to see my parents.
My parents are mortals, born old and sick, they are controlled by nature. They don't have any superpowers, not even on par with Uncle Shen and Shen Tuo. What reason should I use to send this royal family to my ordinary home to meet and chat with my two closest relatives?
It seems like I can't not admit it now. When I'm with Zi Sang Ming or Zi Ye now, I still feel a bit inferior. Especially after I found out I was in love with him.
When not in love, the two of them are parallel, no matter what they do, they will not deliberately consider each other, love each other, the track of life will not only cross, but also overlap, for each other's consideration will become instinctive. It was as if I wanted him to stay with a friend who had been with him for thousands of years, as if he was fighting a battle for my "not being the first to think about myself" with someone I had deliberately paid attention to.
And now he says he's coming home with me.
Zi Ye held my clenched hand in reverse, wrapping around my trembling hand, "Of course it's real. You take care of yourself first, we'll go learn the Purification Technique tonight. Only by training your power as fast as possible will you be able to protect yourself from being trapped while you're traversing the void. "
"You really want to go!"
