Demon King's Repayment - chapter 223

Meng Zhang volleyed up to the top of the mountain with the Shu Fulei (muffin) Yuan Xiang made for her alone. That was where she most often stayed alone. She liked to be in that place closest to the sky, watching the sea on all sides and enjoying rare food.

However, there were already people there that day. The Sirius man was sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain, meditating with his eyes closed, extracting star power.

When Nan He sensed someone near him, he opened his eyes, and nodded to Meng Zhang.

Meng Zhang fell into the purple flower field on the top of the mountain, enjoying the snack in her hand alone, “Are you Ah Xiang’s man? Oh, you actually signed the apostle contract.”

She saw the flash of Nan He’s forehead and knew that Nan He and Yuan Xiang were in a very good relationship.

Nan He didn’t deny it, and hummed softly.

Sirius, like the dragons, had an infinite lifespan. Races like them generally didn’t easily give too much emotion to those short-lived creatures. Most of the ancient mythical beasts liked to play, watching the vicissitudes of the world and the changing mountains and rivers with cold eyes.

“You love a human being like this, won’t you regret it?” Meng Zhang held a spoon, with a little doubt, “I have had many lovers whose life span is not very long. Sometimes, I just sleep or go out. After eating a meal, they wither, die, disappear without a trace, and would never exist in this world. To fall in love with a human desperately, wouldn’t it bring endless pain to yourself?”

Nan He looked at her, “You are asking something like this, probably because you haven’t really liked someone.”

“Nonsense. You little wolf has only lived for many years.” Meng Zhang was not convinced, “I have had more lovers than you. In my opinion, love and desire are the things that merge into one. Each of my lovers, I have had real desires for them, that is, true liking, and I did not deceive them. But as the desires dissipated, this incidental emotion naturally faded away.”

“That’s right, love and desire is one. But if you are truly emotional, you can’t control the desires in your heart,” Nan He stood up from the rock and saw the familiar figure who came there happily.

“Have you ever had this kind of emotion, can’t help but want to be with that person, want to be with her. Seeing her smiling, you are happy from the heart. Seeing her sad, you can’t avoid being sad. If she is not around, her shadow always appears in your mind. Whenever we embrace each other, it is the happiest thing in the world.”

“When you have such feelings, what will happen in the future, whether you will be in pain in the future, and whether it is worth the effort, you have no way to consider these issues.”

Meng Zhang was a little startled.

In these days when Ah Shi was away, his shadow often appeared in her mind.

Rolling with him in the purple flower field, happy as if flying into the sky.

Seeing her crying before leaving, asking for a child, was there a strange feeling in her heart?

Was it her who didn’t understand?

The purple mountain flowers swayed gently in the sea breeze.

Yuan Xiang climbed all the way to the top of the mountain, “Xiao Nan, Ah Zhang, you are here, I found you easily.”

She gave Meng Zhang a large bag of cookies, egg yolks, nougat and other small snacks that were not available in that era.

“The maids said that after the moon rises tonight, the dragon gate will open. We are going back.” Yuan Xiang was there to say goodbye to Meng Zhang, “Thank you for giving me so many good things. Although these are not quite enough, it’s a little bit of my thoughts.”

This friend would sleep for sixty years and she wondered if she had the fate to meet her again.

Meng Zhang opened the bag and smelled a scent that she liked, so she got her head in. When her head was lifted out of the bag, there was already a cookie crumb on the corner of her mouth.

“It’s delicious.” She said, “The value of a gift depends on whether the recipient needs it or not. As far as I am concerned, the things that I enjoy are the most valuable things. Those jewels and artifacts aren’t that great to me.”

Yuan Xiang reached out and took off a purple flower hanging on her hair, “This is lavender? There are so many plants here, so beautiful. I rarely see this kind of flower in this world.”

“What kind of flower is it? Do you know this kind of flower?” Meng Zhang took the flower over.

“Well, the scent of lavender can calm the nerves and help sleep, and the color is also beautiful. It is very popular in my hometown. It is a very romantic flower which says: waiting for love.”

The small blue-purple petals alone looked inconspicuous, until the long spikes were connected together in pieces, subtly occupying the entire hillside with the implicit purple, one would be unconsciously taken by it and shaken by the beauty of the place.

Meng Zhang said something irrelevant, “Some of them like property, some like magical tools, some are obsessed with the secrets of cultivating, and my many gifts will always make everyone happy when they leave. But there is one person who didn’t want anything, just wanted me to leave him a child. Why would he want children that are difficult to raise and have little effect on him?”

Yuan Xiang understood that the person she was talking about was Shi Huaiting, the father of the Shi brothers. This shouldn’t have been her concern, but she also wanted an answer regarding the man who had waited a lifetime to hatch their offspring by himself.
