Chapter 372 A brief leisure time
The sun was shining brightly, the breeze was not dry, and Xi Yeming was sitting on the sofa, typing something on his phone absentmindedly.
"Hey! What on earth are you doing? I saw you staring at this thing all morning without moving."
Angelina's face was full of curiosity. As she spoke, she leaned over, wanting to see what was attracting Xi Yeming's attention.
"Oh, nothing, I was just chatting with Scott and the others." Xi Yeming answered lightly, but his eyes never left the screen in front of him.
Angelina frowned and continued to ask, "But, the sound of you tapping the screen is too loud, isn't it? It almost deafened me."
Hearing this, Xi Yeming sighed helplessly and explained, "Alas, it's because I was arguing with Chris."
You know, the quarrels between Xi Yeming and Chris have become a common occurrence in everyone's eyes. Fortunately, they don't quarrel in real life, otherwise people around them would have to spend a lot of time to persuade them.
Xi Yeming continued, "Scott and Torena are currently in Mafinali, helping the poor people who were displaced by the civil war. I had kindly reminded them to be careful and not get involved in this civil war.
Who would have thought that Chris would rush up to me and start making sarcastic remarks without saying anything. I couldn't stand it with my bad temper, so I started arguing with her."
In fact, Scott and Torena have always been cautious and careful, and it is almost impossible for others to catch them. Xi Yeming reminded them out of kindness. However, what is puzzling is that only Chris would suddenly appear and ridicule them, which is really confusing.
"Then why aren't you arguing now?"
"Because Torena muted both of us."
When Xi Yeming said this, he whimpered in his throat and then lay down on the sofa.
"What's wrong again?" Seeing Xi Yeming lying down neatly, Angelina thought that Chris had provoked him.
"Sleep, I'm tired."
"I thought you were mad at that dragon girl."
Xi Yeming blinked, then said, "I've been pissed off by her before, and this time is no different."
"Don't you practice magic?"
Xi Yeming closed his eyes and replied, "If I don't have to fight with others day and night, I should really practice magic."
"I still don't understand," Angelina said, looking determined to get to the bottom of things. "Why did you fall in love with the Dragon Girl in the first place?"
Hearing this, Xi Yeming's eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened, as if the withered branches had grown new green leaves.
His pupils, which were already a little blurry, now revealed a deep thought, making it difficult to guess his true thoughts.
"For stability." Xi Yeming uttered these three words softly, his tone as calm as a windless lake, but the deep meaning contained in them was as confusing as a swamp and incomprehensible.
However, this answer was obviously too simple and vague for Angelina who was standing aside.
She frowned slightly, and a puzzled expression appeared on her beautiful face. If it was really for the so-called stability, then why did Xi Yeming fall in love with Chris, a woman who was always in trouble and a headache? There seemed to be a huge contradiction between the two.
"Is this true?" Angelina couldn't help but ask. She stared at Xi Yeming with her clear eyes, trying to find a flaw or more explanations from the changes in his expression.
Facing Angelina's questioning, Xi Yeming seemed a little taciturn. He didn't want to continue to discuss this topic in depth. After a moment, he slowly said, "I don't know, maybe the choice at that time was wrong." After saying this, he sighed softly, as if he was suppressing endless regret and helplessness in his heart.
"You finally deny your past efforts?" Angelina stared at Xi Yeming with eyes wide open in disbelief. In her opinion, although the past relationship was full of twists and turns, Xi Yeming had treated Chris sincerely. It really surprised her that he denied the past so easily.
Xi Yeming lowered his head silently, muttering to himself, "It was not until I met Chris that I gradually realized that no matter how hard you try to change some people, it is futile. But when we realize this, it is often too late. Those people are no longer the same as they were before, and may even have changed their appearance and become a completely new stranger."
Listening to Xi Yeming's moving words, Angelina couldn't help but feel a surge of sympathy in her heart. She stretched out her hand and gently placed it on Xi Yeming's warm cheek, stroking it slowly, hoping to give him some comfort.
The unique faint body fragrance of the woman lingered on Xi Yeming's nose, like a spring breeze blowing across his exhausted heart, bringing some comfort.
"By the way, there is something I need to talk to you about." Xi Yeming moved his face away from Angelina's palm intentionally or unintentionally.
The eldest princess was confused. Zheng Wu Jingmu had been captured, and Xi Leqiu and Hua Wan were unable to make any progress after several battles. What would Xi Yeming say at this time?
"Do you know how to attract the dark spirits?"
"Mingpo recruiting?"
Xi Yeming told Angelina everything about his previous encounter with Gongshu Cha and Shangguan Zixiu.
First, Qiao Wutong was captured by Zheng Wu Jingmu's velociraptor, then he accidentally entered a certain ruins and encountered the "Mingpo Recruiting" magic circle, and finally he and Hua Wan joined hands to fight against two predecessors who were in the form of Mingpo.
Now that I think about it, the mysterious device used by Masago Keiki to absorb light magic was most likely obtained from that ancient and mysterious relic. This speculation makes people more curious and imaginative about that relic.
When everyone hurried back to the cave, the scene before them left them dumbfounded - all the sophisticated instruments originally placed there had been destroyed beyond recognition, as if they had encountered a terrible disaster.
Not only that, even Xi Leqiu and his group disappeared without a trace, leaving no clues.
"Is this the legendary magic that attaches a person's soul to the dust and resurrects them?"
Angelina frowned slightly, stretched out her jade-like fingers and gently scratched her delicate chin, and fell into deep thought, "Perhaps this incredible magic can only be performed by those high and mighty goddesses?"
If it is true as the two speculated, the so-called summoning of the souls is a powerful magic unique to the goddesses, then this relic hidden in the dark is inextricably linked to those goddesses with endless divine power? Thinking of this, Xi Yeming felt an indescribable awe in his heart.
