Ping 'er walked to his side and sat down. She took the tray away from him and looked at his expression with interest. "Hey, Big Blockhead, you don't look as cold and scary as before. Is this how you are usually? Do you treat everyone like this? Hmm … you have a strange personality. Is there a reason behind it? Also, why did Ye Wuchen bring you here? Who are you to him? Hmm … can you tell me more about yourself? I really want to hear it now. "
She asked a bunch of questions in rapid succession. She did not wait for Cold Cliffs to reply before asking the next question. Obviously, she did not expect Cold Cliffs to answer her. After asking the last question, she adjusted her sitting position and rested her chin on her hands. She stared at him without blinking. This time, she was waiting for his answer seriously.
Cold Cliffs's answer was silence.
"Hmph, Blockhead will always be Blockhead … how about this, I'll tell you about my past and you'll tell me about yours. We'll do the exchange. That way, no one will be at a disadvantage. How about it?"
Cold Cliffs: "…"
Ping 'er did not wait for Cold Cliffs to reply. She continued, "My current name is Yan Ping' er. Actually, my previous name was not Ping 'er. It was Fang Ping. Back then, my father was a proper businessman. My mother was gentle and virtuous. She helped my father take care of everything. Phew … the past has become a blur. Even now, I have almost forgotten how my parents look like. "
Cold Cliffs: "…"
"Later on, my parents provoked an enemy and were hunted down … Sigh, speaking of which, these grudges are really annoying. I was like that and so was my mistress … Just like that, my parents were killed. After I escaped, I lost my home. I ran far, far away to a place far away from home. Because I was too embarrassed to beg, I could only scavenge for food. I lived like that for two months … Hmph, the food I ate back then was much worse than what you are eating now. "Ping 'er pouted and snorted.
Cold Cliffs stared at Ping 'er in a daze. Her narration was so casual and natural, as if she was not talking about her tragic and lonely past, but someone else's story. There was no sadness, no resentment, no pain … However, in Cold Cliffs's mind, there was a clear image of a young girl who tragically lost her parents in one night. Her family was torn apart, and she became an orphan, struggling to survive alone in the cold eyes and disdain of others. Suddenly, a sharp pain flashed through his heart.
"One evening, I was hiding in a haystack to sleep when I met the young lady. After the young lady knew about my affairs, she wanted me to follow her. She would take me to a place. Later on, I found out that the young lady's parents were also killed by someone else. We were the same people … Then, the young lady brought me here. The people here made me swear never to leave this place. Only then did they let me stay. Thus, I became one of the members of the Northern Emperor Sect. I became the young lady's maid and sister, following her every day. That year, the young lady was only fifteen and I was only ten. Later on, Grandma Sunflower, who liked me very much, started to teach me the Infernal Spirit Technique of the Northern Emperor Sect. But I was born stupid, and my progress was very slow. Grandma Sunflower had no descendants. Before she died, she passed on her Infernal Spirit Technique to me … If not, I would be the weakest person in this world. That year, I would not have been able to help the young lady escape. "
Ping 'er finished her story without any hesitation. That past, was now very far away from her. Her pain and pain had been smoothed over. Even if she recalled it, she would not feel anything. Perhaps, this had something to do with her optimistic personality.
"The young lady is my best sister. My biggest wish now is to see the outside world. I want to see how it has changed. I want to find the young lady and see that she and her baby are fine. I want her to know that I have always been fine. You must not know that more than half of the people in the Northern Emperor Sect will never be able to leave this place. Alright, I have said what I wanted to say. Now, it's your turn. " Ping 'er changed her tone and looked at Cold Cliffs with a smile, "A man must keep his words. I have said everything, you must say it too."
Cold Cliffs, "… My parents, are also dead." He looked at her for a long time before saying this.
The atmosphere froze. Ping 'er's expression froze. Then, she smiled, "So, we are the same kind of people. Losing our parents at a young age … Is this the reason for your personality?"
"…" Cold Cliffs's personality had a complicated origin. The most direct origin was the bad environment he was born into and the complex hatred he had for his father Feng Zhaoyang. The most fundamental origin was his Demonic Eyes of Blood Massacre.
Ping 'er took his silence as a tacit agreement. She patted his shoulder like a big sister, "Hey, Big Blockhead, it can't be like this right? You make me feel like a child when you are like this. Look, you should look at me. My father and mother passed away suddenly. I loved them very much and was very sad back then. But for the rest of my life, I was free every day and never thought about unhappy things. Just like now, even though I have been locked up here for so many years, I have always been happy. When I was bored, I would purposely bully the poor Little Eight and Little Nine. Do you know, after people die, they will go to the sky and look down at the people below? My father and mother must be looking down at me from the sky. Therefore, I have to live a good life every day. Only when I am happy every day, will my parents be happy too … Am I right? Sigh, your parents are the same. If you keep a straight face every day, even if your parents are dead, they will not be able to rest in peace. How nice would it be to be like me? "
Cold Cliffs, "…"
"Do you think I am right? If you think I am right, why don't you give me a smile? I suddenly want to know how a blockhead like you would look like when you smile, "Ping 'er widened her eyes and looked at Cold Cliffs with a sly smile.
Cold Cliffs's heart skipped a beat. Under her gaze, he realized that he could not bear to reject her request. Like him, she was also a person who lost her parents. Moreover, she lost her parents when she was very young and lost her home. Her parents were killed. In comparison, her experience was much more tragic than his.
A special feeling of sympathy for each other in the same plight had unknowingly and quietly pulled the distance between them closer. Facing her expectant gaze, his lips twitched as he tried to smile … He had already forgotten when was the last time he smiled. In any case, it had been a very long time. After so many years, this was the first time he tried to smile.
"Sigh … sigh! Don't move, don't move! Just like this. " Ping 'er suddenly exclaimed in agitation. Leng Ya was taken aback. He maintained the same stiff expression in her voice. Ping 'er giggled as she looked at him, "Look at you, look at you. You can smile beautifully … … Oh! You really look pretty when you smile. You must smile more in the future. Who knows, you might even charm a lot of girls. "
If there was a mirror, Cold Cliffs would realize how stiff and ugly his expression was. Ping 'er, on the other hand, looked as though she was looking at the most perfect smile in the world. She kept praising him in various ways and even secretly giggled from time to time.
In front of her, something in Leng Ya's heart was quietly melting, and something else was quietly taking shape …
Night fell. The waning moon hung high in the sky and the stars were everywhere.
In the deathly stillness of the land of death, there were no sounds of birds, beasts or insects. Even the occasional gust of wind brought with it an eerie silence. Looking at the stars in the sky, it was as though they were separated by a thin layer of greyish black fog.
Under the night sky, a small shadow crept up to another shadow, knelt down beside him and stretched out his hand to shake him awake.
"Daddy, I want to lean on you to sleep … Daddy wants to hug me to sleep." Little Mo blinked her eyes that were as bright as the stars under the night sky, staring at him unblinkingly.
"Mm, okay." Ye Wuchen smiled as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and let her lie down beside him. Little Mo's little house had been destroyed. They played for a whole day until they were exhausted and had to lie down in the open. To them, tonight was very different from any other day.
"Hehe." Little Mo could not help but giggle happily as she curled up beside Ye Wuchen. After spending a day with him, that feeling grew stronger and stronger. She really couldn't bear to kill him anymore.
Glancing at the young girl beside him, Ye Wuchen looked up at the vast starry sky. He could not fall asleep for a long time.
He could already feel the changes in Little Mo. It was similar to what he had expected, but faster and smoother than what he had expected.
She was a demon … But how could a teenage girl be truly evil? Her evil had complicated reasons, just like Tong Xin. Back then, she had killed so many innocent creatures, not because she had evil thoughts, but because she had lost her mind due to the curse, causing killing to become a kind of instinct for her. When this "instinct" was suppressed by him, she behaved so innocently and even had quite a bit of natural silliness. It was impossible to associate her with "evil."
This kind of girl, what she wanted was as simple as her mind. Although Little Mo was very strong, it was very easy to deal with her. Just like now …
Should he really bring her with him? Ye Wuchen asked himself in silence.
The daughter of a demon … Carrying the order of her parents and the demon weapon, she was searching for the fourth of the ten sacred pearls in Tianchen Continent. Her parents, were they really ordinary demons?
Then, if he brought her with him, would there be a day when he would attract a demon … and a very strong demon, or even the strongest demon. Just like Ningxue and Oculum …
Little Mo had always wanted to go back. Otherwise, she would not have obtained the Fire Spirit Pearl at a time she had been waiting for so long, and tried to use its power. Because only with great power could she have the ability to go back.
He was well aware of how much of what he had said to Bubbly Mo was true and how much was false. If he could, he would rather not meet this girl again. Everything he said, the most direct goal was to save his own life. He succeeded. But now, after spending a day with her, he found that his heart had begun to sway.
She, was actually so similar to another Ningxue. Loneliness, loneliness, helplessness … The Ningxue at the beginning, was so weak that it made people's hearts ache. And Little Mo … She had taken off all the clothes that she had put up, wasn't she the same?
Little Mo's breathing became even and long, and she had fallen into a deep sleep. In her deep sleep, she was not very stable. She moved her body and followed her senses to stick to Ye Wuchen's side. As she moved bit by bit, her whole body shrunk into his embrace. Only then did she assume the most comfortable position and fell into a deep sleep. From time to time, sparkling saliva flowed out from the corner of her mouth, staining his clothes.
Ye Wuchen gently placed his hand on her shoulder. After a long silence, he said softly, "From now on, stay by my side and be an obedient and not willful child."
Little Mo's long eyelashes fluttered slightly as she closed her eyes. Her two small hands gripped his clothes tightly. She let go of all her worries, and this time, she really fell asleep peacefully.

(Seeing the recent depiction of Cold Cliffs and Ping 'er's feelings for each other, many students must have guessed something. Poor Cold Cliffs is destined to be lonely. His awakening needs all kinds of stimulation that will make him despair … Amitabha) ^ - ^
