"Big sister, I really don't know you.”Since the mask was removed, Hatcher simply took off his black clothes, revealing only his casual clothes. Then, he said,""I suspect that this black dress and black mask have mistaken your vision, or that I look like someone you know, but I've never seen you before, okay?”Haiqi was a little angry.
Yu Xiaoxiao gently took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face that didn't seem to belong in the mortal world. Her skin was as white as snow, and there was a hint of redness. Her nose was like jade, and her red lips were charming and moving. Her eyes were even more beautiful. As she looked around, there were ripples of light, as if she had taken over the world. The gentle breeze ruffled her green hair, giving off a faint fragrance.
Hatch was stunned and didn't know what to do.
She lowered her head and blushed.”The voice was as soft as a mosquito's foot, as if only he could hear it.
" Ah, what did you say?" Hatch was stunned.
Yu Xiaoxiao pinched him hard and scolded,"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? Do you want me to take it all off for you to remember?”
"No, I'm not. "No need," he stammered."I'm not colorblind, nor am I colorblind. To be honest, I've never seen you in my life. You're so beautiful. If I saw you, I would definitely remember you. Really.”
"If you don't have this, then it's fine. But if you do, then I won't mistake you for someone else."”
She looked at Haiqi, not knowing what he was thinking. She stretched out her hand and pointed at Haiqi's forehead. Haiqi didn't know what she was going to do, so he didn't dare to move. He rolled his eyes to see what she could do.
Suddenly, Hatch felt his spiritual altar move. The mysterious box that had never wavered seemed to have heard the call and slowly floated out of his body.
This really surprised Haiqi. No one knew about the mysterious box in his body except him. Even he himself could not make it move at all. Now, it was actually summoned by someone else. It was really unbelievable.
"You, how did you know I had this?”Hatch looked at her in surprise.
"Other than you, me, and that person, there won't be a fourth person in the world who knows that your spiritual altar has the Absolute City Box. Besides you and me, there won't be a third person who can summon it from your body. You can say that you don't know anything, but it has already explained everything.”
"This thing is called the Great City Box?"
"Yes, this belongs only to you. Other than you, no one can truly open it. Therefore, you are the person I am looking for.”
" I don't know why you lost all your memories," Yu Xiaoxiao sighed." You even forgot about me, but I don't care. Let's start over, okay?"”
This sentence was like a bolt of lightning from the clear sky, shaking Haiqi so much that he could stuff twenty toads in his mouth. He was stunned for a long time before he said,"Give me back the box. I, I'm leaving…"
Yu Xiaoxiao bit her lips, tears streaming down her face. At this moment, she could clearly hear the voice inside the box. It was so familiar, so nostalgic.
She looked at Hai Qi in a daze, her heart filled with pain. She knew that the person she had been looking for was standing in front of her, but he was far away. Looking at this familiar face, it seemed to slowly become unfamiliar. The feeling of being so close yet so far made her finally understand that the person in front of her was no longer him, and he would always be the person in front of her.
"You... "What's your name?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked sadly.
" My name is Hatch," Hatch answered carefully,""The sea of the sea, the strange and strange. Grandfather gave it this name.”
"Haiqi, what a strange name.”Yu Xiaoxiao repeated the words a few times in her heart. Her finger touched his forehead again, and the box floated back to him.
"Then, then I'll be leaving." Ocean Monster heaved a sigh of relief.”As he spoke, he turned around and strode forward, afraid of meeting her sad gaze again.
"Hatch, don't make me leave you, okay?”Yu Xiaoxiao's sorrowful cries came from behind him. Haiqi felt as if he was nailed by a nail, his feet were as heavy as lead. He mustered all his courage, but he couldn't take even half a step forward.
Yu Xiaoxiao ran over and hugged his waist tightly, crying out loud. Hai Qi was at a loss for what to do. He panicked and quickly comforted," Don't cry, don't cry!"”
As he spoke, he almost couldn't help but cry. When he saw the tears in her eyes, he felt inexplicably sad. It was as if a stone was blocking his breathing. He didn't know why he felt this way. He was very afraid, but he didn't know what to do. He just wanted to escape far away and never face this pair of beautiful and sad eyes again.
"You've already left me behind once. Don't leave me alone again, okay? I'm afraid..." "I'm afraid that you'll leave like last time and never come back. I'm really scared." Yu Xiaoxiao pleaded.”
Haiqi looked up at the sky. Drops of water fell on his face. He didn't know if it was tears or rain. He sighed and thought,""I don't know anything about what you're saying, but why does it feel so familiar? Could it be that I owe her something in my previous life?”
That was what he thought, but he still said,"Xiao, Miss Xiao, it's not that I want to chase you away, but with my strength, what can you do by my side? I don't even have the ability to protect myself, let alone protect you.”
" My aptitude is mediocre, and I haven't taken my revenge yet. I've been hiding here for months without achieving anything. Every day, I'm afraid of being hunted down by my enemies. I've been doing things like stealing chickens and touching dogs. I've been living a life of fear. It's not easy for me to have a chance to learn from you, but you suddenly appeared and said that you'd leave with me…"
" I don't care. I don't care about anything. I don't need your protection. I can protect myself," Yu Xiaoxiao cried.
Haiqi shook his head helplessly, his heart filled with emotions."Is this destined by the heavens? I'll ask the fortune-teller to read my fortune another day and we'll know.”
So he said," Since you insist on following me, then follow me. If you regret it one day, then leave on your own. However, the premise is that when you follow me, you have to listen to me and don't let anything happen. If you agree, just nod. If you don't agree, then forget it."”
After a long time, Yu Xiaoxiao still did not move, but she still hugged him tightly.
" Then listen to me," Haiqi sighed." You can decide the small things. If you still don't agree, then I'll leave."”
After Yu Xiaoxiao got her way, she was very pleased with herself. She broke into a smile and said," Okay, I'll keep my word." She nodded repeatedly. Her chin hurt from knocking on Haiqi's back, and she wiped her tears and snot on his back. Haiqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It was already the third watch of the night, and the wind and rain had stopped slightly. A wave of tiredness surged up in Hai Qi's heart, and he said,""I don't know what kind of lousy place this is. It seems to be in the middle of nowhere. I'll go look for food nearby and find a water source to take a bath.”
"I'll go with you,"
"What? Are you afraid that I will escape?"
"No, I know where there's water. There's a big pool three miles west.”
"Eh, you've been here before?" Haiqi was puzzled.
" Uh, sort of," Yu Xiaoxiao said,""Don't ask so many questions. Let's go quickly.”
Not long after, the two of them heard the sound of flowing water. They followed the sound and saw a clear stream that flowed through a pool.
The pool was about five meters in diameter, so clear that one could see the bottom. Through the surface of the water, one could vaguely see a few black fish swimming at the bottom of the pool, occasionally popping out of the water and blowing bubbles.
Hai Qi was overjoyed. Not only did they have water to bathe in, but they also had food to eat. It was too satisfying. It was also quite troublesome to find wild animals in the middle of the night. "Are you going to shower first or should I?"”
" Of course, I'll go first." Yu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him."Your body is so smelly. If I go down first, do I still need to take a shower?”
"Also, don't peek at me when I'm bathing. Otherwise, I'll dig your eyeballs out and feed them to the fish.”
Hai Qi's face darkened as he thought, This girl is too stubborn. I have to find a chance to convince her.”
He was bored, so he went around looking for some firewood. He leaned against a big tree and prepared to start a fire, but the firewood was wet. It took him a lot of effort to make the fire burn.
Not long after, he heard the sound of water splashing behind him. Yu Xiaoxiao was humming a beautiful song. Her voice was very pleasant, like a nightingale song, accompanied by the sound of water, and it was gentle.
Haiqi felt an itch in his heart. He wanted to turn around several times to take a look, but he always felt that this was not appropriate. Although he was a thief, he had a good reason to do so. However, he had never done such a thing before. It was difficult for him to make a decision.
" Peeking at a girl taking a shower isn't good enough," he comforted himself. "Not really. En."
Yu Xiaoxiao cursed Haiqi in the water," You idiot! You're not a man! I told you not to look, but you really didn't look! You're the world's biggest idiot! You idiot!"”
If Haiqi knew what she was thinking, he might even want to pounce on her. However, he didn't know and couldn't know, so he could only stay put.
Feeling bored to death, fatigue surged in him again. He stretched his body and closed his eyes for a while before falling asleep. In a daze, he felt something kick his foot. Then, he vaguely heard a voice with some anger," Big dumb cow, it's your turn." Yu Xiaoxiao was dressed in white, like a lotus flower that had emerged from the water, spotless.
"Ah, what?" Hatch opened his blurry eyes and subconsciously said," Oh."
He didn't know what he was going to do. He stood up and shook his head as he thought about it. Then, he said," Oh." He walked to the pool silently, took off his clothes, and jumped into the pool without thinking.
The water in the pool was bone-chilling. He couldn't help but be alert. After he was fully awake, he washed his body carefully, then washed his clothes and dried them. Finally, he put on his clothes and rushed over with the two fish. He smiled and said,"Look, how is this fish?"
" Nothing much," Yu Xiaoxiao used a tree branch to knock on the fire, causing sparks to fly everywhere."Then what do you think of me?"
Haiqi was baffled. He sized her up and shook his head."Nothing much,"
Yu Xiaoxiao pouted angrily."Stupid cow, hurry up and roast the fish. It's stupid and hard, like a stone in a smelly latrine pit. No wonder your martial arts are so bad.”
Hatch didn't know what he did to offend her. He broke a branch, skewered the fish, and slowly roasted it.
The two of them fell into silence, and only the crackling of the fire could be heard. After a long time, Yu Xiaoxiao took out a white pill from her hand and handed it to Hatch."Eat it!"
Hatch took the meatball and felt that it was cold to the touch. It was the size of a pearl, white as snow, and emitted a faint fragrance. "What is this?"
"Don't worry about it. You'll know after you eat it.”
Hai Qi didn't dare to ask any more questions. He put it into his mouth. Before he could taste anything, a chill seeped into his stomach from his throat, washing away the tiredness in his entire body. Spiritual power filled his dantian, and there were faint signs of a breakthrough.
"What a miraculous pill!" He could not help but sigh.
"You call this miraculous?" Yu Xiaoxiao snorted.”
"Hey, don't say that, okay? I've only come to this continent for a few months, and it's already good enough to have a pill to eat.”"I really don't know what I did to offend you. Why don't you beat me up to vent your anger?"”
Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh. Her anger dissipated and she smiled."Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Tell me what your next step is.”
When Hatch heard this, he perked up and said,""When we return tomorrow, hand over the Second Degree Box. After completing the mission, we will go to Ink Peak Tower to learn martial arts. After we master martial arts, we will go to Supreme Wind Cloud City.”
"Why are we going there?"
" To take revenge. My master was killed by the people from Fantasy Spirit Sect,""It's a pity that I don't have the ability and can only stay here. I've always wanted to learn martial arts, but my talent is too poor, and no one is willing to accept me.”
"After that, someone offered me a condition. If I could steal the second degree box, I would be able to become my disciple. Now, there's finally some hope.”As he spoke, he actually became a little excited.
" Yeah," Yu Xiaoxiao praised." At least you've taken the first step."”
"I wonder if my dead master will think that I'm a traitor if he finds out that I've become his disciple again." Haiqi smiled bitterly.”
Yu Xiaoxiao walked to his side and patted his shoulder."Your master knows that you have such intentions. He definitely won't blame you.”
"I hope so…" Hatch thought.
Hatch turned the fish over and sniffed it." It smells so good. It's a pity that there's no salt. But it's okay. Wait for me here."”As he spoke, he handed the fish rod to her and left alone.
When she returned, she saw that he had wrapped something in a large leaf. It was diamond-shaped and emitted a faint salty smell.
" This is tree salt, a strange kind of salt that grows on trees. It's much more fragrant than the salt in the sea,""This is what my grandfather told me."
"Come, try it."
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded and took the tree salt. Looking at his childish appearance, she wanted to laugh but couldn't.
"I didn't expect that after parting, he would actually become like this. He completely made me feel unfamiliar. When will I be able to see the real him?”
The two of them ate hastily and went to bed. They didn't speak for the rest of the night.
The next morning, it was a rare sunny day. The sunlight shone on the ground like golden shards, shining into Hatch's eyes through the branches.
He narrowed his eyes and slowly opened them. He realized that Yu Xiaoxiao was long gone. He called out a few times but no one responded. He felt a little disappointed and inexplicably empty. "Sigh, let her be."
He casually tidied up, washed his face, and silently walked towards the place where the sun rose. Looking at the rising sun, which sprinkled over the earth and revived all things, he felt that the future was like a dream. As he walked, he shouted loudly," Since ancient times, there have been strange people on the sea. When the waves are gone, thousands of snowflakes will roll up. I am standing on an isolated island. Everywhere is the end of the world. Where is my home?"
He had not walked far when he heard someone running over from behind." Hey, why didn't you wait for me?" As he spoke, the person had already reached his side.
Haiqi was happy, but he said,""I thought you'd left,"
" Hmph, don't even think about getting rid of me." Yu Xiaoxiao kicked him."Give me your hand."
"What do you want now?" Seeing her unfriendly gaze, Haiqi subconsciously retracted his hand.
" Just give it to me," Yu Xiaoxiao said angrily. Without waiting for him to reach out, she pulled him to her and bit him hard on the shoulder.
Hai Qi grimaced in pain. He took a deep breath and said,""Are you a dog? Why did you bite me?"
Yu Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and wiped the blood off her lips."This is called marking. From now on, you are mine. No matter where you escape to, I can find you with this mark. En, I've also given you such a mark before.”
" Nonsense," Haiqi said angrily." We have to hurry back and hand in the mission. Otherwise, we won't be able to leave even after dark."”
"Alright, alright, don't be angry anymore!" Yu Xiaoxiao's little hand pulled on Haiqi, who quickly dodged. She continued to pull, and he continued to dodge. The two of them pulled and pulled, and finally, they walked out of the forest.
