First Player

When Su Mingan finished changing his body, two days had passed.

The white-haired people are still sitting under the peach blossom tree, sleeping quietly, with flowers and rain intertwined in their brows.

"I'm back." Su Mingan called.

Yueyue lowered her head and did not respond.

"Get up." He called again.

She still didn't reply.

He stood there for a long time, his hands frozen. Until a peach blossom fell on his finger.

There was no breath flowing through his fingertips.

She had stopped breathing.

In the end, she should have been sitting here alone, alone from dawn to dusk, looking at the end of the peach blossom forest from a distance, waiting for his return... until she stopped breathing.

Su Mingan buried his head, pressed his forehead against the inside of his arm, and remained still for a while. The only sound in the air was Xiao Kai's lowered breathing.

Time seemed extremely long at this moment. Su Mingan never raised his head, and no one could see his expression clearly.

Until Su Mingan finally raised his head, he seemed as calm as if nothing happened.

"You said that after you die, your soul will find a new body. I believe you." Su Mingan said: "Xiao Kai, help me."

Xiaokai dug up the soil diligently, and Su Mingan placed Yueyue in the wooden coffin. At her request, this was not a real death, so no flowers or relics were placed, just plain earth was filled.

"...Father, do you really believe that people can be resurrected after death?" Xiao Kai whispered.

For more than ten years, Xiao Kai has called Yueyue "Sir", but he has always called Su Ming'an "Father", and he can't correct it no matter what.

"Yes." Su Ming'an responded: "According to the original plan, I will go inland with you."

"Okay! Then I'll go pack your luggage. You can just sit here and wait." Xiao Kai happily put down the shovel and ran towards the house regardless of the dirt on his body.

"Uh-huh!"

Su Mingan suddenly heard the sound of the blade piercing flesh.

Hot blood splashed on his face, and his pupils shrank.

A pointed cane penetrated Xiao Kai's chest, and blood flowed all over the floor. The blond man who appeared out of nowhere pulled out his cane with a swipe, took out a silk handkerchief, and slowly wiped the blood-stained platycodon flowers on the cane.

Xiao Kai seemed to have not died yet and was still struggling. The blond man raised his foot and instantly crushed Xiao Kai's throat bone. His toes repeatedly rubbed against the ground, making a tooth-breaking squeaking sound. Then, the man threw away the blood-stained silk handkerchief like trash and let it float in the wind.

The setting sun cast a long shadow. The blond man turned his head, the sapphire pendant in his ear swayed slightly, and looked at Su Mingan with a smile:

"... Found you, my friend."

No need to ask, Su Mingan knew who this was.

"I thought it would take a little longer."

"I blame me for coming too quickly." The blond man walked forward.

"When you possessed others before, you couldn't kill people directly. How can you kill people now?" Su Mingan said.

"Some lives are mine, of course I can take them back."

"When did you discover that I was here? Did you notice my return to the Holy City?"

"Well... earlier." The blond man lowered his eyes and thought: "I found it around the time you first went to sea. But I think you deserve to experience a happy life, so when she dies, I just appeared in front of you."

...It's actually so early.

Dieying said: "Let the gods live an ordinary life and come to such a remote place to live out their lives, farming and weaving. Is this what you humans want? I really don't see the slightest meaning to you."

Outside the peach blossom forest, hundreds of shadows approached. They were all human beings who were bewitched by the shadows. Most of them were soldiers and farmers.

At this moment,

A hand suddenly stretched out and firmly grabbed Dieying's ankle.

"...Stop." Xiao Kai, who was lying in a pool of blood and had long since lost his breath, slowly raised his head. His dark eyes seemed to hide abyss: "Don't hurt my father."

"I asked you to leave early on purpose, so as not to ruin your carefully crafted character, but you actually had to stand up." Dieying kicked Xiao Kai away.

Xiao Kai was kicked and quickly stood up. The wound on his chest no longer bled, and even the shattered bones in his neck had healed. This is simply not something an ordinary person can do. He grabbed Dieying again: "Don't hurt my father."

"..." Su Mingan's pupils narrowed. This newspaper boy who I have watched since childhood is actually not a simple person?

He suddenly remembered his several meetings with Xiao Kai. Xiao Kai was covered in bruises and bruises, which made Yueyue feel compassionate about adopting Xiao Kai. So... even those scars on his body were done deliberately by Xiao Kai? Just to arouse Su Ming'an's compassion and adopt him?

But at that time, Xiao Kai was only twelve years old. How could he be so scheming? Why was Su Mingan so attracted to him...

Su Mingan stared at Xiao Kai, thinking about who this was.

Xiao Kai looked at Su Ming'an, his tone suddenly became profound, as if all disguises were finally revealed, and he shouted in a low voice:

"……Father."

…

["You don't remember me?" The man stared at Su Mingan closely, and then said after a long while: "...You can even forget your own son. You are really not a qualified father.\
