The dense forest was filled with a warm smell that was absent in the town. It was like the most authentic smell of nature, quietly entering your nose and comforting your whole body. But now, in this forest, the quiet atmosphere was broken and turned into a tense atmosphere.
Chong 'er leaned against the thick tree trunk and cried. Her helpless appearance made one's heart ache. She cried so hard that she could no longer cry out loud. She was so hoarse that she felt that her heart was about to go crazy.
However, Feng Xin Yan felt that this woman was too cowardly and was not worthy of being the descendant of those Black Silk Worms who had died for her. However, she knew that she had promised the Black Silk Worms that she would take good care of Bug 'Er, so she had to cheer her up.
"What if I say that you still have a goal to work for?”
Feng Xin Yan sighed deeply. When she thought about how those Black Silk Worms had fought with all their might to ensure that Chong 'Er was able to escape from the place that had imprisoned her for nearly a hundred years, she felt that Chong' Er had no reason to cry.
Chong 'er raised her teary eyes. She did not understand what Feng Xinyan meant, but when she saw the black silk worm on Little Yuan's shoulder and the black silk worm on Feng Xinyan's hair bun, she shook her head in disbelief. Chong 'er swallowed the sorrow and hatred that burst out of her and looked up at Feng Xin Yan expectantly, hoping that she would tell her what she wanted to hear.
Feng Xin Yan squatted down and took the Black Silk Worm from her hair bun. She placed it in Chong 'er's palm and said with a smile,""They didn't die out. The remaining Black Silk Worms returned to the Sunken Abyss Continent, where they would cultivate into human forms and rebuild the continent. Also, they are waiting for you to find an immortal, waiting for you to go back and find them.”
Feng Xinyan's words were the greatest gift to Chong 'er. Chong' er finally smiled through her tears and placed the Black Silk Worm on Little Yuan's shoulder in her palm. She looked at them as if they were her own children.
" I thought they were all gone…"
Suddenly, Chong 'er looked at the two black silk worms in her palm and raised her head to look at Little Yuan and Feng Xinyan with some confusion. After a moment, she smiled. Chong 'er pulled Feng Xinyan and Little Yuan's hands and placed the two Black Silk Worms back into their palms.
"They are yours now." Chong 'er looked at the two black silk worms with some reluctance. They also let out a faint cry, but soon, one of them returned to Feng Xinyan's hair bun, and the other ran to Little Yuan's shoulder and sat down.
Feng Xinyan and Little Yuan looked at each other. They didn't understand what Chong 'er meant. Did she mean to give these two Black Silk Worms to them?
Chong 'er stood up and dusted off the dust on her body. She glanced at Feng Xinyan and Little Yuan, who had puzzled expressions, and said,"It's not that I'm willing to give them to you, but that they have already recognized you as their masters. I don't know what's going on, but in their eyes, you're both equivalent to me. Trust me, when they reach human form, you will have a loyal friend.”
Feng Xin Yan blinked her eyes in surprise. She could not believe that the Black Silk Worm, who had been desperately trying to compare its size with the thousands of strands of hair on her hair bun, actually treated her hair as its home, as its master? This…this was too strange.
As for Little Yuan, when she found out that the Black Silk Worm treated her as its master, she did not know why she was so happy, but for some reason, she shivered. It was as if she was very afraid of such a thing happening.
Looking at Feng Xinyan and Little Yuan's different reactions, Chong 'er seemed to be filled with motivation when she thought about the fact that her clansmen were still waiting for her to return. She was not afraid of the hardships ahead at all. As for that immortal…to the Black Silk Worms, he was like a legend. They didn't know if they could find him.
Chong 'er also noticed Little Yuan's strange reaction. She had a happy expression on her face, but her body shivered for some reason. When Chong 'er was at the bottom of the river, when she was carrying Little Yuan, she felt that his body was a little different from the others.
Frowning, Chong 'er walked to Little Yuan's side and reached out to touch his head. At that time, when she came into contact with Little Yuan, she did not have the time to carefully observe the strangeness in Little Yuan's body. It was only now that she realized what a terrifying thing she had encountered.
"Are you…a blood puppet?" When Chong 'er spoke, she subconsciously took two steps back. This scene made Little Yuan feel even more strange, but she still nodded truthfully.
Unexpectedly, Chong 'er's face instantly turned pale, as if she had heard something unbelievable.
Feng Xinyan was still teasing the black silk worm that had been trying to get into her hair bun, but when she saw the frightened expression on the worm's face, she felt very puzzled. She then looked at Little Yuan, who was also puzzled, and did not understand what had happened.
"Little Yuan is a blood puppet that has lived for 50 years. Why do you have such a afraid expression, Chong 'er? Previously, when Little Yuan met Cang Xiao, her entire body trembled and her face turned pale, as if she had met her natural enemy. Little Yuan said that she did not know why she was afraid of Cang Xiao. Later on, she found out that she was a black silk worm. In addition, Little Yuan was afraid when she met this black silk worm previously. Little Yuan felt that she was afraid of the black silk worm. But, aren't you the insect queen? Why do you look like you're afraid of Little Yuan?”
Feng Xinyan spoke for a long time before she finally explained Little Yuan's previous reaction. However, what she wanted to know more was why Chong 'er would show such an expression to Little Yuan. It was as if she should be afraid of Little Yuan.
After Chong 'er heard Feng Xinyan's words, she heaved a sigh of relief under Feng Xinyan's puzzled gaze. It was as if she had removed some major hidden danger. This situation could not help but fill Little Yuan and Feng Xinyan's hearts with doubts. However, Chong 'er did not seem to want to explain the reason to them. She suddenly stared at the Black Silk Worm on Little Yuan's shoulder, and her body stiffened as if she had thought of something. She did not dare to look at Little Yuan.
"If you're afraid of the black silk worm…why aren't you afraid of this little thing?”
When Chong 'er asked this question, her voice trembled a little too much. Seeing Buggy 'er like this, Feng Xin Yan felt as if she was about to be drowned in the many doubts that rose from the bottom of her heart!
"Because it expressed its goodwill to me. It can be considered…to have kissed me.”Although Chong 'er's behavior became very strange and even looked a little scary, Little Yuan still answered truthfully.
Chong 'er suddenly closed her eyes and panted heavily, as if she had heard something that made her feel despair. Two streams of tears slowly flowed down her cheeks. Her quiet face was filled with despair. After a moment, she finally opened her eyes, but when she looked at Little Yuan, she was filled with pity.
Buggy's unpredictable expression made Feng Xinyan and Little Sleepyhead frown. They were both thinking about the same thing. Could it be that Buggy couldn't take the blow of losing most of his clansmen and had gone crazy? Why was she so scared, desperate, and pitiful at the next moment?
"Chong 'er, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with Little Yuan?" Feng Xinyan finally could not help but interrupt Chong 'er and Little Yuan's strange conversation and ask Chong' er what had happened.
Chong 'er did not answer Feng Xinyan's question. She just stood there quietly and looked at Little Yuan. For some reason, Little Yuan felt a chill run down her spine and immediately hid behind Feng Xinyan. At this moment, Chong 'er raised her head and looked at Feng Xin Yan. The pity in her eyes disappeared in an instant.
Chong 'er sighed. Looking at Feng Xin Yan's guarded expression, she knew that she must have thought that she had gone crazy from laughing, crying, being afraid, and being pitiful. She shook her head and sighed. She smiled at Feng Xin Yan and said,""I'm sorry. I was a little too emotional and made a fool of myself.”
Feng Xin Yan frowned. She did not know if the insect in front of her had returned to normal. She even felt that the insect that the Black Silk Worms had rescued from the bottom of the river might be fake. Bug 'er could see through her worries, so what she said next completely proved that she was the real Bug' er.
"Little Yuan is afraid of the Black Silk Worm to this extent because he is a blood puppet. The Blood Puppet was a puppet made of blood. It had the flesh and blood of a human, but it had strength and speed that humans did not have. Moreover, they were fed with blood. However, nature needs balance, so this kind of blood puppet will be afraid of a creature that has existed since ancient times, and that is us, the black silk worms. The older the Black Silk Worm, the greater the influence it had on the Blood Puppet. Moreover, Little Yuan, who was only 50 years old, had encountered one of the oldest Black Silk Worms in existence, Cang Xiao.”
Chong 'er explained why Little Yuan was afraid of Cang Xiao and the black silk worms, but she did not explain her strange behavior just now. Feng Xinyan was still puzzled.
Chong 'er knew Feng Xin Yan's doubts, but she could not tell her everything because she still needed to verify everything. Chong 'er shook her head and bowed to Feng Xinyan, saying,""Forgive me for not being able to tell you why I acted so strangely just now, but you have to know that I won't hurt you or Little Yuan. However, we have to split up. As my clansmen have told you, I have to find an immortal.”
Feng Xin Yan still felt that it was a little inappropriate, but everyone had their secrets. Even if Chong 'er did not want to say it, she could not force her to say it. Thinking of this, Feng Xin Yan felt relieved. She helped Chong 'er up and said,""It's okay. I also believe that you don't have any hostility. I have to take Little Yuan to the Kingdom of Xi Yu first to complete my master's mission. After that, I'll return to Sunken Abyss City and save my friends.”
Chong 'er smiled at the serious Feng Xin Yan. She covered her mouth and said,""You came back to save your lover, right?"
Such a simple teasing sentence caused Feng Xin Yan to instantly reveal a bashful expression.
