I removed the transformation spell and reverted to my original little brat appearance. I walked to her side and stroked her silky hair.
"It must be hard for a person to face the expectations of the people around him, right? Even if he didn't know if he would seal that monster.”
Zi Yuan had always been afraid. She was afraid that she did not know when the monster would resurrect and that she would die in order to seal the monster.
Moreover, her ability to predict the future was to know that she was going to die, so she would pass the information to the witch in the past, cleverly transferring her death to others and letting others die in her place. It was really an ironic ability.
A person who pretended to be willful because he was afraid that someone else would die in his place.
I hugged her petite body like a fragile object. At this moment, her body stopped trembling.
"Ziyuan, in the future, when you're afraid, just say it. When you're happy, just smile. You don't have to worry so much because I'll protect you in the future.”
"Really?"
Looking at her frightened expression, I knew that no one had ever told her about these things. It was just that because of her bloodline and birth, she was destined to do something in her life. This 'kindness' that was imposed on her was the same as mine in the past.
I was born with extraordinary talents, and I received elite education in order to inherit the family business. I didn't even have half a friend of the same age. After solving the current problems, new problems would appear. I had always lived in the cage of reality, so after transmigrating, I especially wanted to do things that I had never tried before.
"Don't worry, Ziyuan. No matter what happens, I'll definitely protect you. So, can you leave this place with me?”
When she heard my suggestion, she was indeed very happy, but then she became sad.
"I'm sorry. Although I really want to leave, I still have a witch's mission. I want to stay here and seal that monster when it resurrects.”
"You can seal the monster when it appears. Before that, just follow the surroundings.”
Seeing Zi Yuan's expression, I knew that she would definitely want to seal that monster. She was quite persistent in her sense of mission.
"I'm sorry, but if I leave, the people around me will be very worried. I don't want others to worry about me.”
Still insisting on not leaving? However, it was not impossible. It was just that it was not now but in the future.
"Since you don't want to leave, I won't force you. However, you have to remember that you're mine no matter what.”
I Want Zi Yuan announced her ownership domineeringly, and the party she was talking about nodded with a red face.
"Although you don't want to leave with me, I'll bring you to see the outside world. You haven't seen the outside world here, right?”
"Really?"
After knowing that I brought her out, her originally gloomy expression became cheerful.
"Really, let's leave now.”
I carried her and left using the Tiny Steps. It was autumn now, so it was better to bring her to a farther place.
"Where are we going?"
On my back, she didn't bite her tongue when she ran too fast. After all, the steps of the Wave Subtle Steps were very unique. She didn't feel any wind pressure when she ran.
"Let's go to that mountain. It's autumn now.”
"What's wrong with autumn?"
"There will be scenes that need to be recorded.”
After walking for about ten kilometers, we stopped at a small mountainside. I took out some barbecue tools and roasted meat.
"What are these for?”
Seeing the tools I took out, Zi Yuan asked me this question.
"Have you never eaten roasted meat before?"
Seeing her nod shyly, I guessed that she had never seen a kitchen knife before. Since you don't know, let me cook for you. Barbecue is very delicious.
The meat I bought was already cut into pieces. I'm not boasting, but I haven't even used a kitchen knife before. These barbecue techniques were all imitated after seeing them at a barbecue stall.
As for the fire, I just needed to use the Formless Finger of Calamity to ignite it. The fuel was the nearby fallen leaves and branches. I also cut down a few trees. Of course, I used the Demon-Suppressing Sword to cut them. I don't know if this Demon-Suppressing Sword will be a little helpless. A dignified top-notch divine artifact is actually being used as a chopper by me.
However, it was already good enough that it could be used. At least it was better than being pressed down at the bottom of the cabin. After all, the strength of the people in this world was too weak. There was no one who needed me to draw my sword.
"Delicious."
I will never forget the expression on Zi Yuan's face when she first ate roasted meat.
"Zi Yuan."
"Eh?"
"I hope you can keep that smile of yours forever.”
"Yes."
She was indeed very cute. She was a girl who came from a different world from me, but her fate was so similar in some ways.
"This is for you. I hope you can cultivate well.”
She looked at the book I gave her and opened it. She found that everything on it was something she had never read before.
"This is all the martial arts of the Carefree Sect. Cultivate well. If someone wants to kill you in the future, you can at least protect yourself. This way, the number of guards around you can be reduced, and they won't have to die in your place.”
When she heard me say 'die for you', her expression was a little sad, and then she was afraid.
"Do you know about our witches 'foresight?”
"I know! The witch in the future knew that she would die, so she informed her past self to transfer her death to someone else, right?”
"That's right, this is the cursed fate of us witches. Do you feel scared?”
Hearing this, I finally understood why she had a scared expression just now. She was afraid that I would leave her.
"Don't worry, if your witch's ability is really cursed, then I'll help you break the curse. I'll definitely protect you. Although I'll be gone for a long time, I'll still protect you.”
"Yes, it's an agreement. You definitely can't go back on your word.”
"Yes, yes, my little princess. Let's tick each other.”
The following oath is omitted because I don't know what oath I should make.
This is the first agreement between us.
"Also, I hope you can eat barbecue with me next time.”
"No problem, but the next time we meet, you have to practice all the martial arts in this book. Also, don't let others see it.”
I don't want my martial arts secret books to be leaked. It's fine if it's rubbish. Any one of the Free and Unfettered Sect's martial arts is very strong. Tianshan Plum Splitting Hand, Tianshan Six Sun Palm, Minor Non-Phase Method, Northern Dark Divine Technique, and Wave Subtle Steps. Other than Wave Subtle Steps, which has no special lethality, as long as you master one move, you can dominate a region.
"Yes, let's tick again. I won't let anyone else read this book. You have to eat barbecue with me.”
"Okay, but next time you have to do it yourself. At least you have to learn how to cook.”
Ziyuan took my half-joking words seriously.
"Hmph, if you say that again, I won't care about you.”
As expected, one shouldn't say things like breaking up or not being able to get married in front of a woman, even if the person in front of him was just a little girl.
"Alright, alright, I surrender. Let's just tick each other.”
This was our second agreement. However, I didn't know that the next time we met, Zi Yuan had indeed trained hard in her culinary skills. She treated it as a demonstration for me to mock her when she was young.
"It's about time now. We can go back.”
"Are you leaving after we go back?”
"That's right! I still have a lot of things to do. The next time we meet might be ten years later.”
And you can eat it the next time we meet. Of course, I didn't say the last sentence.
Although Zi Yuan looked a little sad, she still smiled and replied to me.
"Let me show you one last thing.”
Just as she turned around, a gust of wind blew nearby, blowing the red leaves on the ground and the trees. The surrounding scenery combined with the blood-red dusk formed a true autumn wonder.
"This is what I want to show you. If I can draw it, I'll call it 'Red Leaf'.”
Our third promise is that we will come to see the red leaves together next time.
