"You seem to have changed a lot overnight."
"There's nothing I can do. My life is in your hands. What can I do?" Yu Shishi gave a helpless, bitter smile.
"Don't be so pessimistic. Maybe I don't have any hostility towards you," Hua Yu said with a smile.
"Whatever you want, I don't care."
If she hadn't known she couldn't beat Hua Yu, Yu Shishi would have even had the urge to take him down with her.
Hua Yu followed Yu Shishi's example and sat down by the stream.
The two were very close at the moment, their shoulders even occasionally touching.
If other people saw this, they would probably think it was a couple enjoying a leisurely afternoon.
But who would have thought that the two of them were fighting like this just yesterday?
Hua Yu looked down at the calm lake surface with some curiosity; the entire lake was blue.
Sure enough, there was no reflection at all, not even the slightest ripple.
"You hid them here?"
"Uh-huh."
Yu Shishi nodded, and then, with a wave of her hand, several green moths flew out and danced around her.
"I've come to see you today mainly for two things."
"Which two things?"
"The first thing and the second thing," Hua Yu said seriously.
Yu Shishi's face immediately darkened, and she secretly clenched her hand into a fist by her leg, but after thinking for a moment, she relaxed it again.
"Heh, how boring."
"Boring?" Hua Yu shrugged and laughed. "That must be because you're too boring."
"If you have nothing else to say, I'm leaving." Yu Shishi turned her head and glared at Hua Yu in an annoyed manner.
She gritted her teeth inwardly. Did this guy think she was his friend?
"First, make your moths return all the life force they've sucked from you. If they can't, don't blame me. I won't hold what you did before against you, but if I find any of your moths again, none of them will survive."
Upon hearing this, Yu Shishi lowered her head.
She knew that some of her actions were wrong, but she couldn't do anything about it.
She lost her family a long time ago, and the only companions she had were the moths; they were her family and friends.
She didn't have much ambition; she just wanted to stay here, protect herself, and protect the moths.
However, due to the relentless pressure from the research association and the various insults and abuses from the women in the town, Yu Shishi's kind heart gradually changed.
She began using the moths to drain the life force of the townspeople in order to increase her own strength.
While punishing those who harbored ill will towards her and the moths, she also tried to become stronger, giving herself more means to escape the clutches of the Research Society.
So at this moment, Hua Yu asked her to return her essence, and Yu Shishi hesitated.
Once she returns it, her strength will be greatly reduced, and she will have far fewer means of self-defense, making it difficult for her to protect herself and the moths.
"I know what you're thinking, but it's okay. Just do as I say. Don't worry about anything else; I'll protect you. Also, don't forget, you don't have a choice."
Yu Shishi's feet skimmed across the water's surface, then she sighed and said, "I understand."
"The second thing is about totem beasts." Hua Yu paused here and looked at Yu Shishi.
Upon hearing the words "totem beast," Yu Shishi's eyes flickered, but her face didn't show much reaction.
"Don't worry, I don't have time to deal with the Moon Moth Phoenix right now, and I won't harm the totem beasts either."
It wasn't until the words "Moon Phoenix" were uttered that Yu Shishi truly believed Hua Yu knew her secret.
She looked at Hua Yu with some surprise, her body trembling slightly, not understanding why this young man knew so much.
They even knew about his connection to the Moon Moth Phoenix.
"How do you know about the Moon Moth Phoenix?"
"My background is at least one of the best in the country, so it won't be difficult for me to investigate anything," Hua Yu smiled slightly, then added, "That's why I just said that following me is a good choice, because I can protect you."
"real?"
"real."
"I trust you."
Yu Shishi had had enough of living a life of hiding and concealment.
"Give me some time, and I'll find a place to settle you and your moths."
"Yes, as long as there's Blue Gold Grass, that's fine. The Blue Moths' main food is it," Yu Shishi quickly reminded her.
"Blue-gold grass?" Hua Yu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "No problem."
Unlike one of its siblings, Blue Gold Grass doesn't grow anywhere. This grass isn't particularly rare, but it still requires a specific growing environment.
Lingling can investigate this matter later.
"Oh, and give me some newly hatched green moths."
"What do you want them for?"
Hua Yu frowned and said, "Just give it to me, you don't need to worry about the rest. You'll find out later."
"oh."
Although she was unhappy with Hua Yu's attitude, Yu Shishi still summoned a group of moths and carefully guided them to Hua Yu's side.
Hua Yu placed the newly hatched moths into the container she had brought beforehand, and then got up to leave.
Suddenly he remembered something and said, "I'll be leaving tomorrow, but before I go, I'll help you get rid of a problem."
"You still haven't told me your name?"
Seeing that Hua Yu was about to leave again, Yu Shishi suddenly asked.
"Hua Yu. Hua Yu is a garment, and Hua Yu perches on the phoenix tree."
After Hua Yu left, Yu Shishi completely relaxed. She supported herself with her hands on the ground, moved her legs back and forth on the water, and leaned back, her smooth hair falling freely from her upright chest.
Viewed from the side, the person forms a beautiful arc.
She murmured to herself, "He's not a very good person, but his name is quite nice."
-
Deep within the dense forest lies a strange, dark red jungle.
The branches were covered with sticky spider webs, and many dried moth corpses were hanging from these webs.
"Swish swish~"
Sonic blades flew from afar, and large branches, along with spider webs, fell, clearing a path leading into the depths.
"Squeak squeak squeak~~~"
Before Hua Yu could enter, a huge spider web descended from the sky and covered him.
Through his senses, Hua Yu could also discover that behind the spider web, a ruler-level creature was eyeing him menacingly.
Hua Yu parted her lips slightly and moved her fingers gently.
The sound waves were like blades, easily slicing through the spider web above, revealing the hideous monster behind it. Its upper body was covered with red skulls, while its lower body resembled a spider, making it incredibly ugly.
It was the natural enemy of those blue moths—the agate-headed spider.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp spider leg, gleaming with a cold light, fell towards Hua Yu.
"Spatial rhythm. Time lag."
A flash of silver light appeared in Hua Yu's eyes, and the spider legs that were originally falling rapidly seemed to slow down many times over, allowing him to easily dodge them.
"Sorry, I don't have time to play with you today!"
"Kill Music. Knife".
