You will only return to reality after two days.
The Five Tigers Retreat's entire body stiffened.
They curled up in a corner and cried helplessly.
Outside the house, Reiko did not hear a response for a long time.
She did not care and continued, "I think you should know that she made the preparations for you before she left. She must have hoped that you could continue to live well in a place where she could not see you. The dead are gone.
Cherishing the present and the future is the best way to repay senior Cheng Ye. "
In the cellar compartment in the kitchen.
In addition to the various fresh ingredients and daily necessities that occupied two rooms, there were also gifts that Cheng Ye had left behind according to the interests and hobbies of the 79th Fu Mourning God.
Those things..,
Were all carefully prepared by Cheng Ye before she was terminally ill.
Every gift was filled with her love and blessings for the Fu Mourning God.
However, she did not know how to give them to them.
Therefore, she used her spiritual power to seal them and wrote that note for her successor.
However, Cheng Ye never expected..,
The Five Tigers Retreat would find the "will" that she had deliberately clipped in the document for her successor.
He even accidentally left it in the corner of the kitchen... and Reiko picked it up and became suspicious.
In the house..,
The Five Tigers Retreat's dry eyes once again welled up with tears. What she said..,
Of course, he understood. It was precisely because he understood how good his My Lord was..,
That he was so reluctant to part with her.
"Sob sob... I don't want to listen... I don't want to listen..."
The hoarse sobbing sounded like the sound of a carpenter sawing wood.
It was filled with helplessness and sadness.
Reiko's amber eyes dimmed a little.
She looked down at the group of little tigers at her feet who were staring at the door. She sighed helplessly. "Alright, food... you should eat more. The little tigers are very worried about you."
After saying that, Reiko bent down and carried the little tigers who did not want to leave into her arms one by one. The little tigers were all listless and pitiful.
Reiko was just about to turn around when she heard the sound of stumbling footsteps. She was delighted. Sure enough, the next moment, the door to the room opened with a "whoosh". The Five Tigers Retreat grabbed her clothes with red eyes and asked hopefully, "Master, I heard from Fox's Assistance that you, you came from hell, right?"
Seeing the anticipation in his eyes, the smile on Reiko's face froze, and the joy in her eyes quickly faded. After a long silence, she replied, "Yes, I was originally a dead person from hell."
The Five Tigers Retreat's eyes lit up, and they asked eagerly, "Then can you help me find My Lord? I want to know if she is doing well and if she misses us. Since even the dead can become an inquisitor, does that mean she can return to … "
"She won't be coming back." Reiko interrupted him, shattering his beautiful dream once again.
The Five Tigers Retreat's faces turned pale, but they continued to ask, "Why? You can even … "
Reiko opened her mouth, but when she saw his hopeful eyes, she suppressed the cruelty that surged to her throat. She turned her head to the other side and said in a low voice, "As far as I know, her soul was reincarnated not long after she passed away."
"I don't believe it! She couldn't let go of This Pill, how could she reincarnate just like that?! "
The Five Tigers Retreat cried out in despair. Reiko staggered and almost fell from his push, even squeezing the baby tiger in her arms. Reiko's expression completely collapsed. "Don't you know whether she let go of it or not?"
The Five Tigers Retreat was stunned. Yes, she had arranged all the funeral arrangements, including their daily necessities after she left. Her diary said that the Government of the Hour would choose a powerful Inquisitor to succeed them after she left.
She believed that they would live well, so when she left, she was completely relieved and didn't miss them, even though she was reluctant to part with them.
"I don't believe it … I don't believe it …" The Five Tigers Retreat covered their eyes and began to cry again.
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not!"
Seeing him escape from reality and refuse to come out, Lingzi had a feeling of exasperation at his failure to live up to her expectations. She was so angry that she turned around and left right after she finished speaking. Her straightforward back view made Five Tigers feel as if their hearts and minds were torn apart.
Was she going to leave too? Did she not want him anymore? Don't … don't … don't leave him behind … don't let him face the endless darkness alone … don't …
The surging tears kept flowing, and the thick mist completely blurred his vision. The Five Tigers Retreat's legs turned to jelly, and they fell to the ground in a sorry state. In the end, they lowered their heads in resignation, hugged their knees with both hands, and cried silently.
This was his own choice, but his heart still hurt so much …
Suddenly, a warm palm supported his arm. The Five Tigers Retreat was startled, and the moment they raised their heads, they were pulled into a warm embrace.
The familiar and fresh fragrance of plants filled their nostrils. The Five Tigers Retreat's eyes widened, and they wrapped their arms around her waist in disbelief.
"I-I thought you had already left …"
Reiko raised her hand and patted his head gently. "Ah, I'll go and put the little tigers back."
"Boohoo … I thought you were angry …"
Reiko increased the strength of her hand, and directly rubbed the Five Tigers Retreat's beautiful white hair into a chicken's nest. "Ah, I'm quite angry." She was furious that he didn't cherish her time and time again.
"Boohoo … I thought you didn't want me anymore …" The Five Tigers Retreat's arms tightened, and warm tears soaked Reiko's clothes.
"How could that be?" Hearing this, Reiko sighed. She held his shoulders and put some distance between them. Her slender fingers gently wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes. "Don't cry. You've always been the one who didn't want me. I haven't cried yet!"
"I'm sorry … I'm sorry … I know I'm wrong … but I can't control myself. I'm sorry, Your Excellency." The Five Tigers Retreat kept apologizing, and self-blame and guilt drowned him like a flood.
"Silly …" Reiko looked straight into his amber eyes and said seriously, "You didn't hurt me. It's not wrong to miss someone. The only thing you did wrong was to torture yourself. This is definitely not what Your Excellency wants to see."
"Also, don't worry. No matter what happens, I won't leave you behind. I promise."
"… Boohoo … I'm sorry … I'm sorry … My Lord … Lord … boohoo …"
All the worry, fear, and longing that he had been shouldering alone all this time exploded in an instant. The Five Tigers Retreat reached out his hands and tightly hugged Reiko's neck. He leaned on her shoulder and cried loudly.
"It's okay. It's okay … It's okay …" Reiko patted his back again and again to comfort him. The stone that had been pressing down on her heart finally fell to the ground.
After a while, the Five Tigers Retreat's crying gradually stopped. He withdrew from Reiko's arms and looked at the wet cloth on Reiko's shoulder with his red and swollen eyes. His fair and tender face was slightly red.
Reiko followed his gaze and laughed out loud. Seeing that he lowered his head in embarrassment, Reiko reached out to pull him. "Let's go!"
The Five Tigers Retreat dodged her hand and took two steps back, looking at her closely.
"My Lord, thank you for your love, care, and companionship all this time. I will keep those beautiful memories well. From now on, I will start a new life with this lord in front of me, just as you wish. "
Under Reiko's astonished gaze, the Five Tigers Retreat knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully. "Lord Xia Mu, my name is the Five Tigers Retreat. I am a gift to the Duke of Integrity. I have never killed a tiger before and am only a short knife. If you don't mind, the Five Tigers Retreat is willing to be a sharp knife in your hands from now on. We will protect you and cut down all obstacles for you. "
"Little Retreat?"
Before Reiko could react, a strange power suddenly rushed into her body. She widened her eyes and felt it in a daze. This power was like a clear spring in the mountains, refreshing her mind. There was even a sweet taste.
This is … the power of the Five Tigers Retreat?
This power quickly turned into her own spiritual power. Then, like an epiphyllum, with her as the center, it bloomed in an instant.
Her body that had been exhausted for a long time was filled with power. The long-awaited feeling of fullness made the Five Tigers Retreat moan in comfort. Her thin and weak body became sturdy and strong in an instant. Even her height increased by a lot. In the warm golden light, the youth's facial features also grew slightly. She was more beautiful and handsome than before.
Reiko looked at the vastly different Five Tigers Retreat in astonishment … Could this be the contract that Fox's Assistance talked about?
The Five Tigers Retreat in the golden light opened their eyes. Seeing Reiko's somewhat dazed expression, the corners of their mouth slowly curved into a faint smile. They stretched out their hand and pointed in the direction of the courtyard.
"My Lord, look!"
Reiko turned her head in confusion. Then, her eyes widened in astonishment.
— — What entered her eyes was no longer a barren land. The barren land, withered plants, dried up pond, and dilapidated walls were all gone.
The green grass was like a cushion. Sporadic flowers adorned it. The pond was filled with crystal clear water. The dark green lotus leaves rippled with the waves. There seemed to be the sound of frogs croaking. However, the most beautiful thing was still the huge cherry blossom tree by the pond. On the mottled branches, pinkish-white petals bloomed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Clusters of petals were tightly squeezed on the branches, forming sweet flower balls.
When the wind blew, the pinkish-white petals danced in the sky. It was as beautiful as a fairyland.
"So … Fox's Assistance wasn't lying. It really is beautiful …"
His slightly cold fingers gently hooked her warm and soft fingers. Then, he held her tightly.
At some point, the sun had broken free from the shackles of the dark clouds and peeked its head out. Golden fragments of light scattered everywhere in This Pill. It also scattered on the big and small body that stood side by side under the eaves of the corridor. It looked … so beautiful.
Around the corner, the two Tai Dao bathed in sunlight secretly withdrew their hilts.
"Heh, what an interesting Ji Jun. "
"Little Retreat … I won't admit that I made the Little Retreat so sad before. Fox's Assistance … Hmph!" "
Government of the Hour Office.
"Ah ~ Choo!"
Fox's Assistance suddenly felt a chill on his back. Why did he suddenly feel like someone was talking about him?
Mao Zhua scratched his chin. His gaze suddenly swept over the pink paper box on the table. A sweet fragrance overflowed from the box, tempting his appetite.
Lord Xia Mu had given this to him before he left yesterday. He had messed up everything, but not only did she not blame him (an illusion), she even gave him cherry blossom cakes. This made him feel even more embarrassed.
He wondered how the discussion between Lord Xia Mu and the Five Tigers Retreat was going … Yes, there must be no problem! He believed in Lord Xia Mu! After seeing so many Divine Inquisitors, he truly felt that Lord Xia Mu was the most suitable for This Pill. He hoped that the Five Tigers Retreat and the other Fu Mourning God would cherish such a strong and gentle Lord Xia Mu!
But … speaking of Fu Mourning God … he seemed to have forgotten to explain something to Lord Xia Mu … What was it?
"Well, forget it! Let's eat the cakes! "
However, Tatara didn't think so. No matter how unreliable the Tokugawa Sen was, they still raised him, who had no blood relations with them, to this age. He had food, drinks, clothes, and a place to live. … See, how could it be possible without an A in luck?
But today, he wasn't so lucky. First, he was caught absent-mindedly in school and was punished by the teacher. After class in the afternoon, he was about to go to the new base to play, only to find that the base had been completely destroyed due to the demolition of the building. He didn't even get any discounted items from the supermarket that he frequented, not even the expired lunchboxes.
On the way home, he changed his route, which was rare, and happened to meet his foster father who was being chased by thugs. He was about to say hello when he saw his foster father's face turn ferocious, as if he had seen a ghost. He rushed over, grabbed him in his arms, and ran away … It was the first time he knew that his foster father had a talent for track and field. He ran like Usain Bolt.
He didn't raise his head while he was running. He was sure that even if the thugs saw him, they wouldn't recognize him. That was why he dared to tell his foster father that he was going back. It was just that when one was unlucky, water would be stuck between one's teeth. He never thought that the tattered windbreaker in his arms would be exposed. If this group of people found out, then the consequences …
No wonder the horoscope program in the morning said that Aquarius was unlucky this month. It was easy to encounter accidents and even life-threatening situations … Now it was coming true.
Tatara sighed in his heart and forced himself to calm down. His little brain kept turning, and he turned back before the man's patience ran out.
Then, before he could stand still, the windbreaker in his hand was rudely snatched away by a large hand. Tatara narrowed his eyes but didn't make a sound.
"Big brother, this looks like the Tokugawa Sen's windbreaker!" Xiao Luo A said excitedly, then turned around and looked at Tatara fiercely, "Kid, where did you get this?"
Tatara put on a frightened expression, pointed in the direction he came from, and stammered, "Uncle, I found this in the trash can over there."
"That guy ran from there again! Hey, is he a rabbit? Big brother, let's go after him! "Xiao Luo threw the windbreaker on the ground and prepared to catch him.
"Wait!" The leader stopped his subordinate and looked at Tatara from head to toe. He was skinny, and his clothes were washed until they were white. There were also traces of mending. It was obvious that he was a child from a poor family. This district was the slum of the entire town. It was normal to meet one or two children like this.
However, no one expected that the man would suddenly reach out like lightning and grab Duo Liang in his hand. "Picked up? Do you think I'm stupid? You were the one Tokugawa Sen was carrying. What's your relationship with him? "
"I don't know the person you're talking about. I just wanted to look for something. I just found this windbreaker over there!" Tatara's heart skipped a beat, but of course, he wouldn't admit it. He looked at the man with a pitiful and harmless expression.
