Chapter 703: The Charm of That Kiss (Non-Main Storyline Daily Chapter)
"Xiaoya, stand up. I'll take you somewhere." Mu You suddenly said to the girl.
The girl looked up in confusion. Before she could react to Mu You's meaning, she felt that he picked her up and put her on his back.
"Hold on tight."
Mu You carried the little girl on his back, and a magic broom appeared in his hand. He held the broom with one hand. As the air flow surged, the two of them rose from the ground with a force and rushed into the sky.
"Ah..."
The girl screamed, and she was so scared that she hugged Mu You tightly as she watched the distance from the ground getting higher and higher.
Mu You rushed with her all the way and soon reached the edge of the mountain.
The area on the other side of the mountain was dark, with no scenery, and even no light, as if it was hell under the Netherworld, because that was a field that Xiao Ya had never set foot in. She could not materialize the scene outside the mountain in her dream. Here was the edge of this dream, and there was only nothingness outside.
Mu You did not hesitate to control the broom and rushed towards the nothingness of the darkness.
Seeing that she was about to be swallowed by darkness, Xiaoya closed her eyes nervously.
But the pain she imagined did not come, but a dazzling light shone on her eyelids.
A refreshing breeze blew past her, and Xiaoya opened her eyes carefully, and a burst of gorgeous colored lights came from below.
In front of her was a bustling urban night scene.
It was still late at night, but the whole city was brightly lit, high-rise buildings were scattered in an orderly manner, and the streets were busy with cars and people coming and going, and it was very lively. Countless neon lights flashed colorful lights, decorating the whole city like a fairyland.
The little girl widened her eyes and opened her mouth. She had lived in the mountains for many years and had never seen such a prosperous scene. The shock in her heart was beyond words.
"Big brother, is this the fairyland?"
"No, this is the city."
"City... This is the city..." The little girl murmured, a little bit unbelievable.
"Yes, it's behind that mountain, just across the mountain." Mu You said.
Of course, he didn't really take Xiaoya to the city. After all, this was Xiaoya's dream. All the scenes were generated by her cognition, and her world was trapped in that mountain. Even Mu You couldn't take her to a place outside the mountain.
They were actually still on that mountain at the moment. These were just illusions created by Mu You's magic.
A lot of new things flooded into the little girl's mind. She was fascinated by them for a while, and a look of yearning appeared on her face.
"Do you like it?"
"Hmm..."
"Then, when you have the ability, you must leave the mountains as soon as possible."
"Leave? But..." The little girl looked at the prosperous night scene below and swallowed her saliva. While yearning, her eyes flashed with a strong sense of inferiority: "Can someone like me survive in the city?"
"What's wrong?"
"My family says that I am stupid and can't learn anything. I always rank last in exams and I am clumsy in doing things. People like me are destined to live in the mountains for the rest of my life. If I leave them, I can't even survive a day..." The little girl said worriedly.
Mu You sighed. From her words, you can imagine what kind of people her family usually is...
"What can you do?" Mu You asked again.
"I only know how to raise pigs, chickens, cattle, and sheep..." The girl stretched out her fingers and counted them carefully one by one. After thinking for a long time, she realized that the only thing she could do was to raise animals.
"Yes, this is your talent." Mu You smiled.
"Is this also a talent?" Xiaoya was a little bit unbelievable. It seemed that anyone could do these things. She just felt safer and more comfortable when she was with animals.
"This is a very powerful talent, a talent that will make countless people envious and jealous in the future." Mu You said seriously.
"Really?"
The little girl's face flashed with some surprise, but more of it was doubt.
"I'll take you to another place."
Mu You didn't explain too much, but flew her directly to the ground.
Soon the two landed again, and the scene in front of them changed. The two appeared in a pet shop.
It was spring, and several customers poured into the store. A girl with a ponytail and an apron, with an infectious smile, skillfully introduced various small animals to the guests.
"Big brother, this person, I seem to..."
The little girl hid behind Mu You, looking at the ponytail girl in the distance from a distance, and suddenly had a very strange feeling.
This person, she seemed to have seen...
"We are now in the future, and the person in front of us is you in the future." Mu You smiled.
This scene was of course an illusion he created, but compared to the night scene of the city just now, this scene was much easier to construct, because this was the scene he had seen almost every day in the past few years, and every detail had been deeply imprinted in his mind.
"Is this... me?" The little girl widened her eyes and stared blankly at Xiaoya in the distance. She really didn't dare to connect this big sister who was shining with confidence and seemed to be shining with her ugly duckling...
Mu You nodded.
People's dreams will dissipate quickly, and even the most impressive dreams will soon forget most of the details after waking up.
In this case, it is better to give her more shocks at once to make her as impressed as possible.
Of course, the result of forcibly inserting memories that do not belong to the dream owner into the dream is that the dream will collapse faster.
At this time, there are already some signs of collapse on the edge of the dream.
"Xiaoya, keep this scene in mind and engrave it in your mind."
"In the future, whenever you feel pain and hopelessness, think of this scene."
"Well, I will remember it..."
The little girl nodded subconsciously, turned back to look at Mu You, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and smiled at him: "Thank you, big brother! Today is the happiest day in my life!"
Under the repeated emotional shock, she gradually realized that she was dreaming, and the dream began to collapse rapidly. Mu You could not continue to maintain the magic, and the bright scene dissipated in a burst of distortion.
The two of them returned to the dark mountain forest again. The mountain was shaking violently, the earth was shaking, mudslides were rolling down, and the world was like a broken mirror, turning into scattered pieces.
"Brother, are you leaving?" The little girl found that Mu You's body had begun to collapse, turning into specks of light and dust and disappearing, and she was extremely reluctant to leave.
"Yes, it seems your wish has come true..." Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. From the girl's smile just now, he knew that the seeds of hope had been successfully planted.
"Brother, can I still see you?"
The white light peeled off, and the two were separated and quickly moved away from each other. The little girl yelled at the end.
"Yes..."
"In the near future..."
Mu You had been completely engulfed by the white light and disappeared, leaving only a sound, which came far away in the wind.
…
"puff!"
On the empty street, Lin Xue chopped up a pixel dinosaur with a knife. Just as he was about to continue moving forward, he felt something strange behind him. He stopped and looked behind him with a frown.
She saw the little boy approaching her at some point, squatting on the ground, gently poking her ankles with his fingers, and studying her stockings carefully...
"What are you doing?"
Lin Xue's displeased voice made the little boy tremble, and he quickly stood up and backed away, his face a little embarrassed.
"Ahem...sister, your pants are so strange...this is the first time I've seen this kind of material..."
Lin Xue casually harvested a charging monster, glanced at his feet, and then looked at the little boy: "What? Do you think it's ugly?"
"No, she's very pretty and has great temperament." The little boy said hurriedly: "Our family runs a shop. I have seen many women dressed in fancy clothes, but none of them are as good-looking as you."
Lin Xue's tense expression was broken, and the corners of her mouth curled up. She could tell that this was the boy's true thoughts, not flattery, which made her very satisfied.
But she quickly put away her smile and looked at the boy seriously: "In the future, don't touch girls' legs casually."
"Why?"
"Easily beaten."
"oh……"
The boy responded and followed him honestly, not acting like a monster.
Lin Xue also turned back and continued to clear the way, and the two fell silent for a while.
But not far away, the little boy suddenly spoke again.
"Sister, how old are you?"
"...26."
"Married?"
"without."
"Ah, no way, you're 26 and still not married? When my mother was 26, I was already born."
"..."
The corner of Lin Xue's mouth twitched, and she silently thought to Tong Yan Wuji in her heart, and you little guy may not know it yet, but you will be single longer than me in the future...
"This is an adult matter, keep the children out of your mind." Lin Xue said casually without thinking about it.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly paused.
Lin Xue frowned and looked at the empty street ahead. What's strange? Why did it suddenly disappear?
In fact, she had already noticed that the number of monsters along the way was slowly decreasing, until then, the monsters suddenly disappeared completely.
Has he reached his subconscious destination?
Lin Xue glanced around, but didn't find the girl he had a crush on around.
It's strange. Logically speaking, the spawning of monsters shouldn't stop before meeting that girl...
"Sister, that..."
Just as he was wondering, the little boy's voice sounded.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xue turned around and saw the little boy lowering the brim of his hat and rolling a boulder on the ground with his toes.
"Actually, I mean... if you really can't find anyone to marry you, you can wait a few more years... When I grow up, I can marry you... It's not impossible."
"???"
Lin Xue was stunned for a few seconds before she realized what it meant.
"Wait, wait..."
Lin Xue rubbed her eyebrows and quickly sorted out her thoughts in her mind.
This is...what's going on?
In the short space of time, she had already read the subtle changes in the little boy's psychology. Coupled with the sudden disappearance of the monster on the street, the answer was actually ready to come out, but she couldn't believe it.
She was supposed to act as a bodyguard, escorting the 'prince' to find his 'princess', but halfway through, the prince suddenly woke up and found that the princess was too childish, and the guard was the true love?
Seeing the little boy's embarrassed but still serious look in his eyes, Lin Xue had a headache.
Originally, all she had to do was lead him to find his crush, and everything would end smoothly. However, the boy's target quietly shifted to her. How should she deal with this unimagined unfolding?
Lin Xue was not an indecisive person. Looking at the little boy's serious expression, he quickly made a decision.
"I can't marry you." Lin Xue said seriously.
"Why?" The little boy suddenly became nervous.
"Because, I'm not actually a human."
"Ah?"
"Look!"
Lin Xue directly summoned the skin of the god of death on her body. She was a skeleton and a windbreaker burning with the black flames of hell. In her opinion, it was the most terrifying image, which should be enough to scare the little boy: "See, this is my true body! I am actually the Black Impermanence from hell... You should have heard of it!"
The little boy was stunned for a moment and instinctively took a step back.
Lin Xue breathed a sigh of relief. The little boy was really afraid of ghosts. She was thinking that it should be enough to scare him like this, but who knew that she read the next thought in the little boy's mind.
Only three words: She is so handsome!
"..."
Lin Xue looked strange, and hurriedly added: "I mean... I am a messenger from hell. If you marry me, I will drag you down to hell with me, and you will never recover. Do you understand what I mean? Even so, you still insist?"
The boy was stunned for a moment, but suddenly laughed: "If that's the case, then..."
Lin Xue's original plan was just to scare him, so that he would dispel some of the vague thoughts he had about himself and get this dream back on track.
As a result, the little boy opened and closed his mouth and said a very simple sentence that Lin Xue would never forget.
Lin Xue was stunned in the same place, her consciousness was a little scattered, and she didn't even notice that the divine skin on her body was gradually dissipating.
After a long time, she came back to her senses in the boy's call.
Lin Xue looked at the little boy with complicated eyes.
"Sister, are you... okay?" The little boy looked at her worriedly, scratched his head, and suddenly showed a triumphant smile: "Haha, actually I was just joking just now, you wouldn't take it seriously..."
The boy was laughing, but the disappointment in his eyes did not escape Lin Xue's mind reading.
Lin Xue looked at the boy steadily, and suddenly walked towards him.
"I don't like children, really... but this time..."
"... just treat it as a reward for what you said just now..."
"Hmm?"
Before the little boy could react to what it meant, he felt a fragrant breeze blowing on his face.
Then, a soft red lip pressed against his side face.
The edge of the dream began to collapse and shatter rapidly, and the sense of shattering came from far away, and in the blink of an eye, both of them were swallowed up by a pure white...
...
In the sound of the wind in the wilderness, Mu You slowly opened his eyes and stood up to look.
He was on a piece of wasteland, and the Fantasy Forest that was originally in front of him had now appeared behind him.
A crow landed on the branch in front of him, and Vivian's voice came out: "Not bad, it seems that everything has passed smoothly."
Mu You looked around and saw that Lin Xue and Xiaoya were lying on the grass nearby. They had both woken up, but their faces were a little confused, as if they had not completely escaped from the dream just now.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Xiaoya suddenly looked at him.
"Boss, I remember now! The big brother in the dream, was it you?"
Xiao Ya ran to Mu You quickly, looking at him with some excitement and some trepidation.
"Yes." Mu You nodded without denying, and smiled: "Has that dream helped you in these years?"
"Well... well."
Xiao Ya nodded quickly, but her voice was a little choked. She wanted to hold it back, but when she heard Mu You's question, she couldn't hold it back, and suddenly leaned on Mu You's chest and sobbed.
"What's wrong, aren't the sad days over..."
Mu You hurriedly patted her shoulder to comfort her. Xiao Ya has always been a sunny and cheerful image in front of him for so many years, and this is the first time she has cried so hard without caring about her image.
"But, but..."
Xiao Ya cried so hard that she couldn't speak. That dream back then was like a beam of light that suddenly lit up in the dark forest, illuminating the way forward for her dim life.
For so many years, she has been supported by that light and grew up carefully. She had no place to tell the pain in the process, and she dared not tell it, so she could only hide it in her heart.
Until now, she met Mu You and learned that he was the only one who could understand her. The grievances accumulated in her heart for so many years suddenly burst out.
"There are no outsiders, cry if you want to." Mu You comforted Xiao Ya.
This trip to the Fantasy Forest seemed to make some of their forgotten dream memories clearer.
Not only did Xiao Ya recognize him, he also gradually recalled some outlines of the dream he had when he was a child.
Combined with the fact that they entered the forest at the same time, there is a high possibility that they matched each other's dreams...
So, the big sister who fell into his dream at that time, could it be...
Mu You subconsciously looked at Lin Xue in the distance.
Lin Xue felt his gaze and looked at him, but tilted her head and cast a questioning look at him, as if asking him what was wrong?
"Uh, nothing..."
Mu You blushed for a moment, it seems he thought too much, that's right, how could it be such a coincidence...
Mu You's attention quickly shifted, but he didn't notice that when he turned around, the blush on Lin Xue's face behind him quickly floated across, all the way to her ears... (End of this chapter)
