Hall of Mercy

Vera was away that night, and I had a quarrel with my mother.I asked her who my father was, and my mother lied to me that I jumped out of a rock. I asked repeatedly, but my mother ordered me not to ask this question again with a straight face.In a fit of anger, I came to Vera.

My good friend is not there, so I can only complain to Little White Snake, but after searching for a long time, I still can't find it, and we didn't give it a name, and it won't come out even if we call it Little White Snake.

I was so anxious that I lay down under the cherry tree and buried my head in tears, talking about how wronged I was.

Suddenly there was a biting cold air around me, I trembled and raised my head, and I was sucked in by those snake pupils at a glance, there was pity in his eyes, and he just looked at me quietly like that.

I asked who he was, but he didn't speak, just spat out the letter, hissing.

"Little white snake?" I looked at the few banana leaves wrapped around his body and laughed out loud.

He nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled me up, as if he was going to crush me with such strength.

I talked to him a lot that night.And he wanted to bite me several times, I asked him what he wanted to do, he said he saw that many people in Lian Yunguo would do this, Vera also said that it was something that people who like each other would do.

I asked him if Vera knew that he could transform into a human form, he shook his head and said no, he said he hoped it would be a secret between us.

So I carefully guarded this secret.

But what I didn't know was that Ye Vera was standing in the dark and watching us all the time.

Later, the little white snake would always follow me around, and when there was no one around, he would turn into a human and hug me.I asked him if he wanted a name, he could say anything, I said casually, let's call it Xiujue.

He nodded with a smile and said, good.

I said he didn't look good wrapped in banana leaves, so I gave him a fur robe. The silver fox fur on the shoulders was what I asked my mother for. I heard it was the fur of a thousand-year-old fox demon.

Vera's one-hundred-year term is about to expire, and Xiujue is not the dragon snake who needed my care, so I simply brought him back to the Demon Race.Vera was unhappy in her heart, but she pretended nothing happened on her face.

We once agreed that even if she returns to the Celestial Clan, she will visit me often.

But since she left, there has been no news as if she had evaporated.I tried my luck many times with Xiujue to the temple where Weila lived in Lianyunguo, but nothing came of it.

Except for the golden poppies she left behind, there are no other traces of her.

I thought in my heart that she was mad at me.

She likes Xiujue, I know it clearly, my intuition is the kind of liking women have for men.

I took Xiu Jue back to the Demon Race, and only told my mother that he could protect me, and my mother didn't ask much.

That day, Xiujue and I were enjoying the shade by the magic mirror. I heard a story about Snow White in the West. Her stepmother asked the magic mirror who is the most beautiful woman in the world every day.

So I also asked the magic mirror, I looked down at a pool of clear spring in the magic mirror, the clear water reflected my golden eyes and silver hair.I looked at myself and couldn't help laughing.

It's just a pool of water, and I won't get any response.

Xiujue squatted beside me, staring at the mirror-like water surface, and was about to speak to me when my mother came over with a panicked expression.

A mist of deep purple carried a few petals of deer bells, fragrant, and condensed around us into a plump and graceful woman.

"My son, hurry up, run!" My mother grabbed my hand, dragged me and Xiujue involuntarily, and kept urging Xiujue to lead me to run as fast as possible, as far as I could, and never come back .
