Chapter 414: Not the Pterosaur Chapter, I Will
The voice came from behind. Nan Yue was about to turn her head when she saw a pair of big hands hugging her from behind.
"I thought you wouldn't come."
There was a hint of fatigue in Mu Li's voice, but more of it was the joy of regaining something that had been lost.
Nan Yue lowered her eyes and looked at the hands that were crossed but did not touch her at all. She thought for a moment and said:
"Mu Li, your eyes..."
"Very beautiful." Mu Li interrupted her, let go of her hand and walked in front of her and said: "Gray eyes, very beautiful."
Nan Yue: “…”
Is she pretty? She looked pretty. Nan Yue reached out to touch Mu Li's left eye and found that his eyelashes didn't even tremble.
It's blind.
For a moment, she couldn't help feeling guilty, but she didn't regret it at all. After all, if she was given another chance, she would still do the same thing.
Nan Yue pursed her lips and said softly: "I'll take you to find Wen Ge."
As she spoke, she took Mu Li's hand and planned to take him back to Wen Ge. After all, Wen Ge said that he could cure his eyes.
"Nanyue, are you concerned about me?" Mu Li did not move. Instead, he took her hand and said slowly, "Nanyue, don't worry. The other eye can see, and you don't have to feel guilty. I like this eye very much."
After all, in his opinion...it was a gift, a gift from a loved one.
Nan Yue was stunned for a moment, the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily, and she was just about to convey the correct values to Mu Li.
Mu Li put her hand on his cheek and chuckled, "Nanyue, don't waste time. Stay with me."
When their eyes met, Nan Yue's gaze slightly avoided him, but Mu Li didn't care. He just looked at her steadily, as if he was carving her appearance in his heart.
After a while, he took her hand and walked from the flowers towards the pond, saying as he walked:
"Nanyue, do you know how I managed to escape from the Misty Forest? Do you want to hear my story?"
Nan Yue didn't say anything because she didn't know what to say. To her, the current situation was like meeting her ex-boyfriend.
The most important thing is that she can't meet her ex-boyfriend calmly.
After all, she had just blinded someone's eye, and her husband had just had a fight with that person.
Guilty and helpless are her synonyms at this moment.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Mu Li just walked to the back of the pool and clapped his hands. The next second, a flying bird orc placed a stone table and stone chair in front of him.
What followed was exquisite dishes. Various foods and fruits covered the entire stone table. The whole process took only a few minutes.
"Well... let's not eat it." Nan Yue looked at this posture and was so embarrassed that she almost dug her toes on the ground.
Mu Li held her shoulders with both hands, pressed her down on the chair, and chuckled, "It's a long story. You must not have eaten since you came out so early. Eat while you listen to me."
Nan Yue: “…”
So, she awkwardly picked up the food with a spoon. She said she came here to say goodbye, but why did she end up listening to a story here?
The most important thing is, why doesn't Mu Li bear any grudge at all? She did hurt his eye!
They didn't poison the food, did they? Probably not.
After all, Cigui is the leader now, and Mu Li will not poison her to death. If he poisons the partner of the pterosaur leader, even the pterosaur will probably die.
Thinking of this, she started to cook with peace of mind.
While helping her peel the fruit, Mu Li whispered, "After I hatched, I was in the Misty Forest. But in the Misty Forest where I was, orcs often came and people often died."
"Many orcs would stay away from me when they see me. Do you know what has supported me to adulthood?"
Mu Li handed a piece of fruit flesh to Nan Yue's mouth. She took a look at it, opened her mouth and swallowed it.
As the atmosphere relaxed, Nan Yue no longer had the initial restraint and asked directly, "What is it?"
"A little cub." Mu Li smiled. "Are you surprised? A little cub, a cub of a stray beast. The stray beast was hunted by other stray beasts and hid in the Misty Forest, bringing his only cub with him."
"I hadn't awakened my beast ring at that time. Maybe I was too lonely. I just watched them like that until a vicious beast ate the stray beast."
Nan Yue opened her mouth, "Where's that cub?"
"I rescued him and placed him in a lair. Every day I looked for orcs who entered the Misty Forest, wanting to hand him over to other orcs and have them send him out."
"After all, the pterosaurs can still fight against the white-ringed beasts without awakening their beast rings, but the other orc cubs will only be eaten if they go out."
Mu Li said expressionlessly, "But when I came back from hunting that day, a ferocious beast had gnawed him to pieces, and the only strength he had left was to say one sentence."
Having said that, Mu Li's eyelashes drooped, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Nan Yue pursed her lips and tactfully did not ask what Mu Li was talking about.
"He said... Mu Li, the world outside is very beautiful, and you must get out alive."
Mu Li seemed to be recalling something. He suddenly smiled and looked at Nan Yue with a gleam in his eyes:
"He said she was beautiful, and I believed him. After I struggled to get out, I found that she was nothing special, until... I met you."
When their eyes met, Nan Yue quickly lowered her head.
A pterosaur has lived in a misty forest since childhood. Apart from surviving, it must be very lonely, right?
In this loneliness, one pterosaur cub saved another.
Is it for companionship or out of compassion?
She pursed her lips and picked at the food in her hand, her mind couldn't help but think of Cigui. The belief that kept Mu Li alive was that the other cubs said that the world outside was beautiful.
So what is the belief that supports you to quit and survive?
"What is Nanyue thinking about?" Mu Li chuckled.
Nan Yue shook her head and said, "I didn't think much about it. Mu Li, why must the pterosaur grow up in the Misty Forest?"
"Because of my duty." Mu Li poured himself a glass of water and said calmly: "Nan Yue doesn't know that a long time ago, the ferocious beasts were not in the Misty Forest. It was the lives of countless pterosaurs that made them lie in the Misty Forest forever."
"So, pterosaurs are naturally proud and deserve this honor."
When he said this, Nan Yue could see determination and a hint of pain in Mu Li's eyes.
She ate the food in front of her in silence and said softly, "I'm going back now. Do you... have anything else to say to me?"
This is the last chance. Nan Yue and Mu Li both know very well that they are both at the critical point of making a choice.
"What does Nanyue want to hear?" Mu Li reached out and touched her hair, his eyes dark and unclear.
A thought kept flashing through my mind: If it wasn't a pterosaur, he would have done it.
"Can I still eat with Nanyue in the future?"
