The winter sun shone through the mottled shadows of the trees, pouring down through the small gaps in the leaves, covering the quiet sleeping face of the insect. Feng Xin Yan walked for a long distance before she found this forest that seemed to be relatively large. She had carried the seemingly light but still somewhat heavy bug for several miles, believing that it was an animal that liked the forest more.
Feng Xinyan supported Chong 'er and leaned against a thick tree trunk. She was also exhausted. She leaned against Chong' er and waited for Little Yuan to bring the water back. Little Yuan said that she could feel the water source, so when Feng Xinyan found the forest, she also went to look for a water source. After all, it was fine if she did not eat, but she could not go without drinking, right?
Little Yuan's laughter came closer and closer. Feng Xinyan smiled and leaned against the tree trunk to stretch. She stood up and waited for Little Yuan to bring her here. Under the mottled shadows of the trees, Little Yuan's small body was even shorter than some flowers and plants. Seeing him running towards her with a smile on his face, Feng Xinyan could not help but think, how good would it be if he was really a child.
Beside Little Yuan was a small black silk worm. Feng Xinyan was so far away that she could not see one-tenth of its petal-sized body. However, from Little Yuan's actions and smile, it could be seen that the black silk worm must have made Little Yuan happy again. This scene always made Feng Xinyan think of Little Yuan's trembling appearance when she faced this black silk worm.
For some reason, Little Yuan, as a blood puppet, was so afraid of the Black Silk Worm that it was as if she had seen her natural enemy. Even such a small Black Silk Worm could make her legs go weak. However, ever since the black silk worm expressed its goodwill to Little Yuan on their way here, crawling onto his face and kissing him, Little Yuan was no longer afraid of the black silk worm. Instead, it was as if she had telepathy with it and could talk to and play with it.
Little Yuan quickly hopped to Feng Xinyan's side, but the water bottle in his hand was empty, which made her feel very puzzled.
"Didn't you say that you felt the water? Why didn't you bring back any water?" Feng Xinyan frowned and took the kettle from Little Yuan's hand. She looked at his mysterious face with a puzzled expression. He looked really cute.
"Come with me, I'll take you there!”Little Yuan blinked at Feng Xinyan and pretended to be very mysterious. This made Feng Xinyan feel a little helpless.
However, Little Yuan felt very good that she was no longer afraid of this little black silk worm. Ever since the black silk worm expressed its goodwill, the smile on her face had never stopped. Speaking of the black silk worm, Feng Xin Yan raised her eyes and saw the little thing hanging on her right hair bun. It seemed to be thinking about how to stuff itself into her hair bun, but it was helpless. It did not seem small enough and could not fit into the densely packed hair bun.
Feng Xin Yan did not know why this little black silkworm had been following her, but she knew that it did not have any hostility. As for how it wanted to play with her hair, she would let it be.
"Where do you want me to go? I still have to carry Buggy away. Can you spare me?”Feng Xinyan sat down helplessly and massaged her aching back.
She did not know where Little Yuan was taking her, but Feng Xinyan knew that she could not walk any further. This was her limit, okay? She just wanted to drink some water and have a good rest here before bringing Bug 'Er to find the next town.
"Come with me. I promise you won't be unhappy.”When Little Yuan saw Feng Xinyan sit down, she knew that she really could not walk anymore. However, when she thought of the thing she had just seen, Little Yuan ran to Feng Xinyan's side and held her hand as she said coquettishly,
Feng Xinyan shook her head and yawned. She decided to rest here for a while before looking for a water source. She completely ignored Little Yuan's suggestion.
Just as Feng Xin Yan closed her eyes and was about to take a nap, Chong 'er, who had been leaning against the tree beside her, suddenly let out a moan. This caused her to instantly open her eyes and look at Chong' er.
Bug 'Er's peaceful sleeping face had disappeared, and in its place was a pale face. Her fair forehead was covered in dense beads of sweat, as if she was being roasted. Her lips, which had lost all color, were tightly bitten by her teeth, almost being bitten through.
After helping Chong 'er up, Feng Xinyan let her lean into her embrace. Wiping the sweat off her forehead, Feng Xinyan looked at Little Yuan worriedly and said,"What happened? Wasn't he fine just now?"
Little Yuan shook her head in confusion. She did not understand what had happened at all. Suddenly, the black silk worm that had been lying on Little Yuan's shoulder slowly leaped up and moved to the tip of Chong 'er's nose. Then, under Feng Xinyan and Little Yuan's shocked gazes, Chong' er's voice seemed to come from the black silk worm's body.
"I'm fine. It's just that I'm being punished for causing the death of my clansmen. I should be punished…so many clansmen died because of me…because of me.”
Chong 'er's voice suddenly stopped, and the Black Silk Worm flew back to Little Yuan's shoulder from Chong' er's nose. Then, he bent his body and sat on Little Yuan's shoulder as if he was sitting on a chair. His entire body revealed a sad temperament as he stared at the pale-faced Chong 'er.
The little fellow on Feng Xin Yan's head was still ignorant of the world, still thinking about how to become smaller and then burrow into her hair bun.
This time, Feng Xin Yan and the others did not wait long before Chong 'er slowly woke up. The moment she opened her eyes, tears flowed out. She widened her eyes and stared at the dense leaves above her head. Feng Xin Yan didn't know what she was doing, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just waited for Chong 'er to speak again.
After a while, Chong 'er suddenly closed her eyes and sat up in Feng Xin Yan's arms. Chong 'er curled herself up, crossed her legs, and buried her head in her knees. Her sobbing reached Feng Xinyan and Little Yuan's ears.
Feng Xin Yan did not expect that the first thing Chong 'er did after waking up would be to cry.
Was crying useful?
For some reason, Feng Xin Yan stood up in a frenzy and looked at the crying Chong 'er with disdain. A wave of anger surged from the bottom of her heart. Feng Xin Yan could not suppress the anger that burst out of her throat and turned into a rebuke towards Chong 'er.
Feng Xinyan also wanted to cry. She didn't know why she had lost Chu Junqi, the man who had always protected her since she was young. She didn't know why she had lost Feng Qianwei, who had always been an important person in her life even though they had never been on good terms.
She wanted to cry too. She wanted to cry about why she had lost them before she could do anything.
But was crying useful? Would crying bring Chu Junqi and Feng Qianwei back? Impossible! Feng Xinyan knew this very well. That was why she did not show any signs of sadness. She believed that Chu Junqi and Feng Qianwei would help Deng Ze and her to save them.
Therefore, Feng Xin Yan knew that the only thing she could do now was to make herself stronger. Then, he would return to Sunken Abyss City and rescue Chu Junqi and Feng Qianwei. He would be even stronger than Cang Xiao. That was why Feng Xin Yan did not show any signs of crying along the way, because she knew that she had to be strong.
It was the same for Chong 'er. She needed to become stronger and go back to find Cang Xiao to take revenge for those clansmen who had died. Therefore, Feng Xin Yan could not bear to see Chong 'er crying like a coward. Such a person was not worthy of the trust of those dead Black Silk Worms!
"Stand up!" Feng Xin Yan suddenly stood up and tugged at Chong 'er's curled up body. She said sternly,""Stand up!"
Feng Xinyan's sudden outburst stunned Little Yuan. She could not react to Feng Xinyan, who she had never seen before. She could only watch as her anger spread.
Chong 'er's sobs were interrupted by Feng Xin Yan. She bit her lip and raised her pitiful eyes to stare at the furious Feng Xin Yan. She did not know why she was so angry and did not know how she should react.
Feng Xin Yan had given her a very clear statement. Her angry words were like sprinkling salt on Chong 'er's wounds, reminding her of the painful truth." Why are you crying here? Crying for the black silkworms that died for you? Crying for those black silk worms that were killed by Cang Xiao!”
Chong 'er listened to Feng Xin Yan's words as if they were needles that stabbed into her heart. She bit her lip and shook her head in pain, unwilling to answer Feng Xin Yan's question. However, Feng Xin Yan did not give up and continued to press Chong 'er.
"What are you running away from? Don't you want to avenge them? Or have you already given up? Have you given up on those black silkworms that died for you? Chong 'er, why are you so weak!" Feng Xin Yan said every word as she stared at Chong 'er's eyes that were a little unfocused from crying. She was most afraid of seeing people who could no longer stand up because of setbacks.
"Didn't you stay at the bottom of the river for a hundred years to get out? Now that he was out, why didn't he dare to take revenge on Cangxiao! Why are you sitting here crying? Do you think those dead clansmen saved you so that you can cry here?”
Feng Xin Yan's words were sonorous and forceful, smashing into Chong 'er's heart, causing her eyes, which were originally unfocused from crying, to instantly have some luster. But very quickly, the splendor that was like an epiphyllum faded in Chong 'er's eyes. Her gradually lifeless gaze caused Feng Xin Yan's expression to instantly darken.
"You're right. I should be strong for them. However, they are all gone. They are all dead. What else can I work hard for? It's all gone, I don't have it anymore…"
Bug 'er's words were like the only feeling left in her heart. Her pale face seemed to announce her death, and her bloodless lips were tightly shut. She reached out her hands to cover her face, trying to stop her sadness, but soon, tears flowed out of her fingers like a flood.
She really had nothing else to work for.
