After the group pet god was bound by the widow king

Chapter 70

It was already the afternoon of the second day when Wei Zixi woke up from this drowsiness.

She lay on the bed, and when the consciousness of her body returned to her body, she felt extremely heavy.

Even the eyelids are heavy.

Wei Zixi wanted to sit up, but even the simple movement of supporting her body with her arms took a lot of effort.

She found that her body was obviously much more sluggish compared to yesterday.

After finally sitting up, she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye and was startled——

She was intimidated by her own body.

She saw that her arm, together with that hand, was wrinkled, and the skin was like the bark of a dead branch, so old that it was disgusting.

Surprised, Wei Zixi lifted the quilt and saw that the skin on her calf was in the same state.

Her hands trembled slightly as she stroked her face.

What I touched was uneven lines.

She seemed to remember something.

So in the face of such a result, her reaction was not very strong.

She looks for the mirror in this room.

After walking around, she found that not only was there no mirror, but there was no reflective object in the room.

It seems that the two "friends" took these things away yesterday because they were afraid of being seen by her.

So in the eyes of those two friends, yesterday's self is already in this state now.

But why, the self she saw yesterday was in the state of a girl?

And why, when I woke up today, not only did everything I saw change, but even my body seemed overdrawn?

Wei Zixi thought of an answer:

This is probably a flashback, right?

Just then, the door was opened.

A middle-aged man walked in, looking extremely haggard.

It seemed that this person aged ten years overnight, and even he himself was not very used to it.

Seeing her standing by the bed, he immediately cheered up and showed a full smile.

It's plump, a little artificial, like an old man pretending to be childish.

Wei Zixi realized that he knew this man.Know deeply.

However, this person is no longer the tall and straight young man in his memory.

Mingming is not too young, seeing himself, trying to put on the state of the year...

Wei Zixi was very sure that what this person saw yesterday was no different from what he saw today.

So he wouldn't realize she was sober now.

That's why he is still playing a young man full of energy.

"Ji Ge..." She smiled and called out his name.

He responded with a smile, "I'm here. Are you okay? Yesterday you passed out suddenly and scared me."

"It's okay..." Wei Zixi said, "Can I borrow the bathroom?"

"Of course." Unexpectedly, today Ji Ge did not refuse like yesterday.

Before entering the bathroom, Wei Zixi was already mentally prepared.

After entering, as she expected——

The place where the entire mirror should have been placed at the sink was empty.

They took all the mirrors down after all.

"Did something happen?" Ji Ge walked over, perhaps noticing that she was standing in front of the sink in a daze.

The moment Wei Zixi turned her head, she had already adjusted her state.

She smiled and said to Ji Ge: "When are you going to pay me for that peach tree?"

When the matter of peach blossoms was mentioned again, Ji Ge's expression froze, and he lowered his head as if preparing to prevaricate.

Wei Zixi took his hand in the past, and continued: "Let's go to see Peach Blossom now, shall we?"

"Now? It's not the peach blossom season!"

"I can give you time to prepare! It doesn't matter how you prepare! Let's go to the river to see the peach blossoms."

"but……"

"Now!" Wei Zixi firmly emphasized that he could not refuse, "right now."

From the look in her eyes, Ji Ge read the extra deep meaning, Ji Ge was in a complicated mood, but in the end he couldn't bear to refuse, "Okay, just wait for me."

After speaking, he turned and went to a certain room.

Standing outside the door, Wei Zixi heard that Ji Ge seemed to be talking to a certain boy.

He asked the boy for one thing, and the boy agreed very readily.

……

About half an hour after the boy and his companion left, Ji Ge came back to look for Wei Zixi.

Probably after setting everything up, he took her to a small river nearby.

There are weeds growing beside the river, but there is nothing else.

Not to mention peach trees.

But Ji Ge just took her straight to the river, heading straight to something invisible.

Until a certain step, she suddenly stepped into a cold space.

After stepping into it, she saw a thick peach blossom tree and pink petals scattered all over the sky.

It seems that there is an enchantment here.

Only those who have entered this enchantment can see this colorful and romantic picture of falling flowers.

"Does it look good?" Ji Ge's voice came in.

Wei Zixi looked over and saw that the man's haggard face seemed to be dyed with the color of peach blossoms, making him look even more radiant.

"It looks good." She responded, "Is this the ability of Eros?"

Hearing Wei Zixi mention "God of Love", Ji Ge was taken aback for a moment.

She smiled, knowing that Ji Ge didn't know whether she was praising him or some unknown little fairy.

But she didn't say it.

She pretended not to know that Ji Ge had already seen through the fact that Ji Ge was a mortal body.

She also pretended not to know that she had already remembered everything.

The two sat by the river, just talking without saying a word.

Until a bird accidentally broke into the enchantment, was frightened by the sudden temperature difference, flew out tremblingly, and fell directly on the water surface of the small river.

Wei Zixi subconsciously reached out to catch the bird...

Immediately, she saw her old and terrifying face through the reflection on the water.

That one has nothing to do with youth or girls...

Like the wicked old witch in fairy tales, the decayed face.

Wei Zixi still saved the little bird.

The little bird shook off the water stains on the bank, pecked its wings, and flew away again.

It has a whole new life waiting for it.

But the two people sitting by the river seemed to be gone.

She still chatted with him without saying a word.

It's just that this time the atmosphere is different from the previous one, there is more sad tacit understanding between the two.

One knows she's awake;

One knew that he deliberately concealed it.

But neither of them mentioned this incident, as if as long as they didn't mention it, this incident never happened.

And the deep moat between him and her will not exist.

Until, the sun is setting.

The blood-orange sunset paints everything in the world with a blood-stained color.

Among them, including the corner of her mouth——

Her lips were pale, but there was a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth.

Ben said something, but there was still a faint smile on Ji Ge's face.

He could feel that the voice of the girl next to him was gradually hoarse, and he turned his head, seeing her gradually unable to support her slump, and the bloodstains on the corner of her mouth that exposed her weak state.

"Zixi! What's wrong with you!" Ji Ge's eyes were shattered, he hugged her into his arms, let her head rest on his shoulder, trying to give her some support.

But she looked too weak.Not only was she weak, but at this moment she was so fragile that she almost couldn't bear the weight of a falling petal.

"You..." Wei Zixi smiled, raised a hand, and touched the side of Ji Ge's face, "You are old too."

Four simple words, explained everything.

I know your situation, and I know mine.

Let's all stop hiding something.

"Yes..." Ji Ge replied hastily, "I'm a mortal now, that's why I look so old..."

"Haha..." Wei Zixi smiled with difficulty, "That's also younger than me."

She was still joking, as if this could comfort the man in front of her.

Ji Ge knew her purpose, but at this moment, he was so flustered that he couldn't laugh no matter what.

"I'll take you home! Let's see what's wrong with your body first, shall we?"

"No need." Wei Zixi pressed his flustered hand, "I know my situation."

"what's the situation?"

"I'm pretty much a mortal..."

"What?!" Ji Ge turned pale with shock, "Impossible! Aren't you Gray Judge?"

"Yes. But you probably know that I have passed my life to you. After that, I will only have this empty shell left. If I stay in the academy, I can still maintain my body; after leaving the academy, I will wait for my death. , only the soul is scattered."

"Uh..." Ji Ge didn't say a word, even his expression became numb.

But Wei Zixi could clearly feel that the man's hand on her shoulder was losing body temperature quickly.

She could feel how panicked, nervous, and scared he was...

She was distressed, but there was nothing she could do.

"No..." Ji Ge lost his mind, like a puppet that can only shake his head mechanically, resisting reality, "No..."

But no matter how much he pretended to be calm, no matter how much he pretended that none of this had happened, he still realized the cruel reality.

Otherwise, why would he keep crying so much that it wets her gray temples?

"I'll take you back!" Ji Ge suddenly hugged Wei Zixi tightly, ready to pick her up on the spot, "I'll take you back to the underworld! If you forget me, forget me, as long as you live! At worst, we will never See you!"

"But Ji Ge, do you want to hear my thoughts?" Wei Zixi's voice became weaker, but she still insisted on speaking out.

Ji Ge wanted to ignore her wishes and take her back by force.

But it occurred to him that perhaps these were the last words she had said that he could hear.He was greedy, and he couldn't help but stop, wanting to listen more.

Seeing that Ji Ge was calm for a while, Wei Zixi smiled slightly, stretched out all his strength to prop up his body, and hugged him actively.

She leaned her head against his neck, sniffed his breath, and murmured dreamily:

"I'm very happy that you can snatch me out. Pull me out of such a state of walking dead. The experience of these two days makes me truly feel that I am a complete person, whether it is yesterday's dream or today. truth."

"Zixi..."

"Listen to me, Ji Ge. I regret it, I regret entering the underworld. But I thought about it, no matter how many times, I will still end up like that, because I want to save you. Save you this matter I've never regretted it."

"I……"

"Occasionally, I also think, if I have a choice, at least I would rather be crushed than live like that, or live like that. So, you can take me out and give me these two days of sweet dreams, I'm really satisfied."

"No! Don't go! Please! Please..."

"Ji Ge...don't send me back to the underworld, I'm begging you." Her voice became painful, I don't know if it was because of memories or because of her body, "Even Hades wants to escape from there, so please, don't send me away." Back to that purgatory."

"But what should I do? Then I should..."

"When I woke up today, I noticed the changes in my body. If I really wanted to go back, I wouldn't wait until now for this ending. I did it on purpose, do you understand?"

"Then I'll be with you! I'll be with you..."

"No!"

Wei Zixi gently pushed him away and straightened his upper body.

He looked at her, and this glance made his blood flow backwards——

The world really shines.

At this moment, she is real and briefly, returning to the state of her girlhood.

It is as bright and beautiful as a peach blossom, but it is as fleeting as a summer cicada...

Dazzling youth.

She pressed her slender fingers to his lips, and finally gave a pretty and weary smile, "You want to live alone, this is your punishment. I punish you to suffer the loneliness I suffered in the underworld, and taste more in the human world alone." Several times."

"Uh……"

"I will punish you to think about me for the rest of your life. When you think of me, your heart aches, and when you think of me, you cry..."

"Uh……"

"I will punish you..."

She said all the spoiled and arrogant words that only belong to a girl, but she couldn't punish her in the last sentence.

She could feel that her time had come.

She jumped forward with the last of her strength.

Like a moth to a candle in a dream.

She kissed the corner of his trembling mouth with the most beautiful thin lips of a girl.

Then, like a moth consumed by fire.

Like a river cracked by a bird's wings.

She broke.

Broken into starlight mixed with peach petals all over the sky.

He knelt on the ground.

Embracing the emptiness in one's arms.
