Chapter 545: The Last Journey of the World (14)

Sun Shangxiang's fair cheeks couldn't help but turn slightly red, but were soon replaced by calmness. Her personality destined her not to be too secretive even when facing her feelings.

However, it was obvious that the eldest lady didn't know how to answer Daji's sudden question: "You suddenly asked me this, and I don't know what to say."

Daji said patiently, "Just say what you feel the first time you think of it."

After hearing this, Sun Shangxiang really thought about it according to Daji's meaning, and then said: "Maybe it's just like I feel sorry for him. He has always been like that. Under the seemingly strong and resolute appearance, he has a lonely and fragile soul."

Daji nodded: "Well, very good, that's it, continue."

Encouraged by the audience, Sun Shangxiang suddenly gained enough confidence and immediately opened up and started talking.

"He just wanted things to be the way they should be, but such a seemingly simple request almost cost him his life, and the lives of many people around him. I think this is a tragedy. To be honest, every time I see him sitting alone in a corner in silence, I can't help but feel sorry for him."

Sun Shangxiang raised her delicate little face and stared intently at the early morning sky which was beginning to turn slightly pale.

"I can never forget how he looked before. He was so sunny and cheerful, full of vitality and energy. Although he was not as mature and stable as he is now, he was still as dazzling as ever. It seemed that anyone standing next to him would be a little dim. At that time, he won the support and following of countless soldiers just by his personal charm.

Even until now, he is still the spiritual pillar and faith of the vast majority of the soldiers in Sanfendi. In terms of appeal, he is almost the only one who can get the response of a hundred people in Sanfendi, and no one can match him. In terms of boldness and bravery, no one can match him. At least before him, I have never seen anyone who dared to confront the Jixia Academy head-on.

As for his mind, he is also meticulous and unfathomable. Our Jiangdong think tank Zhou Yu was deeply frustrated by him in his early years. Every time they fought, he would beat him to the point of losing his temper. Even those of us who know him well enough would be shocked and puzzled by some of his decisions from time to time. The most important thing is that no matter how talented he is, he always treats everything around him gently and never looks down on others. Perhaps it is because of this that so many heroes under his command are willing to follow him wholeheartedly."

Having said that, Sun Shangxiang turned around again and smiled faintly at Daji, who seemed to be fascinated by what she was saying.

"It's hard not to like him because of his charm, isn't it? Sometimes when you think about it, he is just so special, deep, complex, mysterious, and hard to see or guess. Some people say he is a murderer with no humanity, cruel and bloodthirsty, who has killed and buried hundreds of thousands of surrendered soldiers. But he always feels compassion for the soldiers in difficult situations, and gambles the rest of his life to try to win a future for them, even if it's just a little better.

People in Jixia Academy said that he was a rebellious heretic, but he never used his status and position to oppress others, and only judged right from wrong. Some people also said that he was an out-and-out madman, but such a madman did something unique, and even in the process, there were countless people willing to fight for him, even if they sacrificed their lives and shed their blood without regrets.

Daji was somewhat shocked, because this was one of the few times she could get in touch with Wang Yao from the past. To be honest, it was somewhat beyond her expectations, because just by listening to Sun Shangxiang's simple narration, she couldn't help but yearn for such an existence.

As if she had seen through Daji's thoughts, Sun Shangxiang changed the subject: "Of course, what I said is actually just how he is seen by others."

Daji's eyes widened immediately: "Really? How do you mean?"

"Hmm." Sun Shangxiang pecked his little head, then said softly, "As time went by, I gradually understood him. In fact, the complex, tough, and even great man that others thought he was might just be a simple and stubborn idealist.

He said that he wanted things to become the way they should be. He said this and did this, but it was not because he was born great or had any lofty consciousness. It was simply because he felt that it was right to do so. That's why he kept gritting his teeth and persevering. All he did was just to open up a path for future generations to move forward in this era full of thorns and corruption, so he did not ask for anything in return and at any cost.

He does not seek utilitarianism or fame, but only wants to make his ambition known to the world, and to make this era a better place, so that at least there won't be so many soldiers whose families are torn apart and whose wives and children are torn apart because of the Canyon War. "

"But he was an extremely rational person. On the one hand, he wanted to pursue his ideals, but his reason told him that going against the current was not rational. Since he could not benefit the whole world, he could at least benefit himself. In other words, he had the ability and strength to live a better life, but in the end he did not do so, because his sense of right and wrong kept reminding him that this era was wrong and some of the practices of the Jixia Academy were also wrong.

Therefore, he hesitated, wandered, felt disappointed, hated, and often struggled between right and wrong, life and death. Just like you said, he was always walking on a tightrope over the abyss. If he took a wrong step, he would be doomed. No one could understand his loneliness, and no one could share his sorrow.

The eldest lady spoke slowly and seriously. In the long dark night, time seemed to have stopped at that moment. Only her soft voice, like an elf's whisper, echoed gently in the dim woods.

And I don’t know when it started, but when Sun Shangxiang turned around by chance, she saw a little crystal light in Daji’s charming eyes.

"Why are you crying again?" Sun Shangxiang was a little depressed. Why did this woman love to cry so much?
Daji wiped her eyes and smiled, "No, I'm just crying because I'm moved, okay?"

After a pause, she let out a long sigh: "Is this love?"

Sun Shangxiang scratched her head awkwardly: "Really? I guess so, right? Actually, I don't really understand it!"

After a pause, as if she suddenly realized something, she finally stopped and stared at the unpredictable witch beside her with some suspicion: "Wait, were you pretending just now? Are you deliberately trying to trick me?"

"How could that be? I was really angry and cried just now."

"Oh? Really??"

Looking at the eldest lady's cute look of certainty yet a little hesitation, Daji couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

Regardless of other things, she suddenly fell in love with this quirky yet silly girl.

However, it can't be blamed on her being too naive. She is a natural master of disguise! Just like her destiny, she was created for disguise and deception.
After a moment of calming down, Daji rested her chin on her hand and looked deeply at Sun Shangxiang: "It seems that I really envy you two. One of you still has the ability to love, and the other has the luck to be loved."

"You can do it too." The eldest daughter blurted out, but after thinking about it, she seemed to think that this was not rigorous enough, so she added carefully: "As long as it's not our brother."

Daji couldn't help but chuckle again: "Come on, look how cunning you are. It is said that people of the same family stick together. Brother Xiaobing is cunning and so are you! I get it. I won't compete with you for Brother Xiaobing. Is that okay?" "Really?"

"Really, I swear!"

Looking at Daji who swore to the sky with three fingers raised, the eldest lady finally let go of her guard and hostility towards her and gave her the sweetest and most kind smile: "Then we will be good friends from now on!"

As soon as the words fell, Daji, who had been joking at first, looked at the innocent young lady beside her in surprise, and was shocked by her beauty.

Wait, you believe it already? Don't you want to confirm it again? You believe the verbal oath that children only use when playing house? ? This girl is too easy to fool! But this is really cute.
Gradually, the love in Daji's eyes as she looked at the eldest lady deepened.

Compared to myself.
"In fact, even if I were to snatch it, I wouldn't be able to snatch it from you."

At this moment, the always charming Daji suddenly changed. She lowered her eyelids slightly, and under her long eyelashes, a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes that was incompatible with her charming temperament: "I originally thought that you and Xiaobing brother were just a fleeting relationship, but now that I see it this way, I don't even have the capital to compete with you at all."

"why?"

"Because I actually don't have a heart. Do you think a person without a heart can still love others?"

"What?!" Hearing such frightening words, Sun Shangxiang suddenly widened her beautiful eyes slightly as if she had seen a ghost, and even subconsciously moved her soft and elastic little butt to a farther position.

Seeing this, Daji immediately said angrily: "What are you thinking? I am not a monster. Who told you that if you have no heart, you must be a ghost? Although, I can't be considered a human, but I am indeed alive! If you don't believe me, touch it and try it."

Sun Shangxiang actually tentatively stretched out her finger and poked the somewhat confused Daji's cheek.

Warm, smooth, and elastic. Yes, it's a living person for sure!
Sun Shangxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then she said directly, "But how can you be so heartless? Is it that people like you are the ones who are heartless?"

Daji immediately glared at the eldest lady with a dark face and said, "You should read more books and practice less. If you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them randomly!"

"That's about the same idea!"

"It's a far cry!"

Shaking her head helplessly, Daji ended the topic and then said with a little disappointment: "I heard from Jie Ao Yan Qiang that my predecessor was created out of thin air by my mentor using magic and mechanical techniques. I was a puppet born without a heart. Except for this body and face that were carefully carved out to seduce men, I actually have nothing. I don't have the ability to love, nor can I feel the feeling of being loved."

The young lady was completely shocked for a moment: "What kind of feeling is that?"

She couldn't imagine it.

What he didn't expect was that the charming woman in front of him was not a half-demon, nor a human, but a creation of some powerful being!

Daji thought for a while and said, "It's like no matter what time, your heart is always empty. It's like you actually like something very much, but you can't develop feelings for it no matter what. For example, when you see Brother Xiaobing, your eyes always shine involuntarily, which is something I can't do, because that is love. In fact, it's not quite right to say that about you just now, because compared to you, maybe I am the toy that was created specifically to please men."

Sun Shangxiang was silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became slightly sadder.

The eldest lady didn't know how to comfort the other person, but at least she knew one thing now, that is; it turned out that under that seemingly charming, wanton, glamorous and beautiful appearance, there was also a lonely and fragile soul. So were all those seemingly exaggerated and frivolous behaviors just a cover-up for her desire to love and be loved?
What would it feel like to not be loved or loved? Sun Shangxiang couldn't imagine it, but she knew it must be unpleasant. When she thought of this, she immediately felt extremely sympathetic towards the woman next to her.

This subtle expression was naturally noticed by Daji.

"Please, don't look at me like a weakling like that, okay?"

But seeing that Daji had changed her depressed look, and returned to her previous wanton and dissolute state, she winked at Sun Shangxiang, saying, "As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Don't you think it's better for me to be like this? Since ancient times, those who are too smart will be hurt, and those who are too passionate will not live long! But isn't my body immune to emotional injuries? I don't have to worry about being hurt, and I don't have to be trapped by love! It's better than being a prisoner in the sea of ​​love and evil!"
Humph, what three thousand weak waters, only take a scoop to drink, I won't take a scoop, because all of them belong to me! Who said that flirting with flowers and grass is only for men? I also want to learn from those stinky men and have three thousand male favorites in my harem, oh hehe~"

"." Looking at Daji who became wanton and charming again in the blink of an eye, the eldest lady was speechless for a moment, and suddenly found that she still preferred the woman who was a little sad and humane.

at this time--

"correct!"

Daji's eyes rolled around, and she suddenly came up with a bad idea: "How about letting me help you?"

Sun Shangxiang rested her chin on her hand, looking at the woman with a tilted face, somewhat confused: "What can I help you with?"

"I wonder if Brother Soldier has never expressed his feelings to you? This is easy. For example, when Brother Soldier comes back, I will ask him face to face whether he likes you or not. How about that?!"
