Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Chapter 154 Psychosis

After Meng Liyun finished speaking, there was no response from Xiao for a long time.

He looked up in confusion and met Owl's eyes, and was stunned.

"Okay then." Xiao retracted his gaze and nodded, "If you have this idea one day, tell me."

"Of course...don't worry." Meng Liyun smiled.

Xiao opened the door and walked out.

"By the way, I heard from people on the street that there is a strange man on the mountain to the west. He has white hair and yellow eyes, and he looks good. Why don't we go and take a look?" Meng Liyun asked, hugging her arms and leaning against the door frame.

Xiao paused and looked at her: "West?"

"Yeah." Meng Liyun raised her eyebrows for some unknown reason.

"Aren't we from the west?"

Meng Liyun: "...It's the south."

Xiao:......

"Okay, I know."

Perhaps because of her strange look, Xiao felt a little embarrassed, so he responded and went back to his room.

Looking at the direction he left, Meng Liyun had a complicated look in her eyes. After a moment, she sighed, went back to the room and closed the door.

How annoying...

Meng Liyun lowered her eyes.

As expected, I still can’t do it.

Meng Liyun sighed deeply.

If I let him give up what he has worked hard for so many years just because of my little thoughts, it would be too selfish.

Meng Liyun thought about it, collapsed on the bed, looked at the hydrangea-like decorations on the ceiling, and closed her eyes tiredly.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Meng Liyun opened her eyes.

I've been traveling around with Xiao all these years, and it's become a regular part of my life. Unless I encounter any danger, I go to bed at 11 p.m. and wake up at 12 p.m. I've gotten used to it.

After Meng Liyun finished washing up, she found that Xiao still didn't come to see her, and she couldn't help feeling confused.

I knocked on his door, opened it, and found that he had already packed his things.

"Why don't you call me?" Meng Liyun asked.

"I thought I'd let you sleep a little longer." Xiao replied, picking up his bag, "Let's go?"

……

"What happened to you these past two days?"

After leaving the city and driving towards the mountain in the west, Meng Liyun couldn't help asking on the way.

"What's wrong?" Xiao was a little confused.

"I think you're very abnormal." Meng Liyun told the truth, counting on her fingers, "First you stayed in that city for two more days, and now you're getting up late... You don't want to abandon me, do you?"

"Thinking too much." Xiao seemed to twitch his lips, "I just think there's no need to rush."

Meng Liyun raised her eyebrows, her look inexplicable.

He would never have said something like that before.

Every time I heard news about Mo Ze, I would rush over in a hurry, fearing that he would run away if I was too late. Why do you say you are not in a hurry now?

Meng Liyun looked at him and suddenly reached out and grabbed his face.

"You're not being impersonated by someone, are you?" Meng Liyun questioned, pinching his cheek hard and couldn't help but sighing that it was softer than she had imagined.

"..." Xiao reluctantly slapped her hand away and took out the black knife as if to prove himself, "Do you believe it?"

"Well... I believe it now." Meng Liyun nodded pretentiously and held back her laughter.

"So why?" Meng Liyun blinked and asked him.

"No reason." Xiao didn't look at her. He rubbed his red cheeks and looked into the distance.

Seeing him rubbing his face silently with his eyes slightly drooping, Meng Liyun suddenly smiled.

Why does it feel a little cute?

"What's wrong?" Xiao heard her laugh and turned to look at her.

"No." Meng Liyun turned her head away, suppressed her smile, and shook her head, "Nothing."

Xiao looked at her in confusion and waited for a long while, but seeing that she showed no intention of explaining, he turned his face away again.

……

According to rumors, they searched the mountains for a whole day and almost turned the wild animals' nests upside down, but they still couldn't find the person in the rumors.

Meng Liyun sat cross-legged on the branch and looked down at the owl who was still looking around: "There is nothing in the southwest. Should we look further west?"

Xiao held onto the tree with one hand and looked down the mountain. After listening to the words, he thought for a moment and nodded: "Let's walk a little further."

After saying that, the two of them went to look for the mountains nearby.

Still nothing was gained.

At night, Meng Liyun and Xiao made a bonfire and sat by the river, feeling a little depressed.

"Have they left? Or did those two lie to me..."

"No." Xiao drank a sip of warm water and glanced at her. "I asked the ghosts here, and they said that there was indeed someone here yesterday."

"Then let's..."

"But it's not him." Xiao said, closing his eyes, "He is not a human."

Meng Liyun:?

"It's not a human?" Meng Liyun was puzzled. "What is it?"

"I'm not sure either." Xiao seemed a little confused when he mentioned this. He thought for a moment and shook his head. "Anyway, he's not here. Let's leave tomorrow."

"Oh oh..." Meng Liyun responded, "Okay."

"The person in the rumor might be a cultivator or something." Xiao saw that she kept her head down and didn't say anything, so he rarely said a few more words, "Maybe he practiced some secret method, so his eyes are yellow. Normal people would misunderstand if they saw him."

"Yeah..." Meng Liyun knew he was comforting her, nodded, and quickly cheered up.

Because they had climbed the mountain all day, climbing up and down, their clothes were dirty and they were sweaty. Meng Liyun pulled her collar uncomfortably and looked at the river beside her, planning to take a bath after eating the fish.

"I'll walk along the river. Call me if you need anything."

Xiao left after saying this. Meng Liyun knew that he wanted to relax, so she took the opportunity to take off her clothes and jumped into the river to take a bath.

On summer nights, the air is scorching hot, but when you dive into the icy river water, you won’t feel the chill at all. Instead, you’ll feel a coolness that penetrates your heart and lungs.

The river water here is very clean. Perhaps it is because it will soon flow into the sea, the water flow here is very large and the riverbed is very deep, so you can't reach the bottom if you jump in.

Meng Liyun did not stay for long. After washing off the sweat on her body, she wanted to go ashore. Just as she was about to turn around to go ashore, she saw a black shadow suddenly jump out from the bushes beside the campfire, rush towards the river bank, and hugged her clothes in his arms.

Meng Liyun was stunned. Her hand, which was about to go ashore, gently dropped down and she sank into the water. Looking at the dark shadow on the shore, her eyes became sharp.

"Who?"

Meng Liyun quietly picked up the stones beside the river bank and observed the person coming quietly.

He was a man about seven feet tall, with a hunched back. He wrapped himself tightly so that his appearance could not be seen at all.

"Eh? Shouldn't a normal woman be shy and ashamed?" The man was stunned for a moment and teased.

"Who are you? Put your clothes down." Meng Liyun frowned and raised her voice a little.

"What if I say no?" The man sneered. Not only did he not listen, he also challenged her.

Meng Liyun didn't know what he wanted to do, so she could only stay in the water, with one hand on her chest, looking at him.

The man's eyes lewdly swept across her chest. Facing her disgusted gaze, he did not feel ashamed, but laughed and said, "Everyone says that I can't find a wife. Now I run to this remote place. It's quite a coincidence that I met you, a slut who seduces men. Isn't this fate?"

"If there's something wrong with your brain, go see a doctor. Don't act crazy here and say things that people can't understand. Give my clothes back to me!" Meng Liyun frowned and pinched the stone between her fingers.

"It was you who was so dissolute that you took off your clothes and went into the water in this wilderness. I just picked up these clothes when I passed by. What makes you say that they are yours?"

Meng Liyun: ...

Meng Liyun could see that this guy was a hooligan. He was probably angry about being scolded by someone, so he ran here to sulk. He happened to meet her and thought she was a weakling, so he took his anger out on her.

"Psycho." Meng Liyun frowned and flicked her finger. The stone flew through the air and went straight through the man's calf.

Before the man understood what was happening, he felt his legs go limp and he sat on the ground. Then, he felt a burning pain in his legs.

Meng Liyun looked at the man in a daze for a moment, then he hugged his legs and started howling, which seemed a bit noisy. After making sure that the man couldn't get up, she went ashore and took her clothes back from him.

"You!! You shameless woman!"

The man's neck turned red and he stared at her with a look of disgust and contempt, as well as a bit of unconcealable desire.

"How disgusting! You actually let men see your body. I wonder how many people have seen it... You're so slutty!" The man seemed to have calmed down, and started to curse at her, with vulgar words spewing out of his mouth.

Meng Liyun put on her clothes, gave him a cold look, and was about to say something when there was another noise in the bushes. She turned around and saw that it was Xiao who had returned.

When the man saw Xiao, his voice stopped abruptly. He stared at him in surprise and suspicion, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I heard a noise over here." Xiao met her eyes, explained, and then looked at the man.

Meng Liyun looked at the man who suddenly became quiet and frowned, having a bad feeling.

Sure enough, when the man saw Xiao looking at him, he immediately opened his mouth and started chattering.

"You are her husband? How did you marry such a shameless woman? Do you know that she took a bath in front of me and came out naked... How could you marry such a fickle woman -"

"I'm not." Xiao interrupted him suddenly.

"What?" The man was stunned.

Meng Liyun looked towards Xiao.

"I'm not her husband." Xiao looked at the man, and for some reason, his eyes seemed to have changed.

Meng Liyun listened to what the man said and silently picked up the scimitar on the ground.

The man won't survive the night, she said.

Meng Liyun's eyes were filled with murderous intent. She had already had the intention to kill the man when he took her clothes. Adding to his words and actions, she felt that she would be unworthy of his words if she didn't cut him apart and feed him to the dogs.

Meng Liyun gritted her teeth secretly. Although she knew in her heart that the man's words would not have any effect on Xiao, no matter who it was, it would not feel good to be insulted in front of the person they secretly love.

"Oh? You're not her husband? Then this woman is even more promiscuous than I thought. First she seduced you to go with her, and then she stripped naked in the water to seduce me. Is she so short of men?"

Listening to the man's words, Meng Liyun's face became even uglier.

When the man saw Meng Liyun's ugly face, instead of restraining himself, he became even more outrageous, and his words became even more filthy.

"I see that you can not only show your body to others, but also sleep with others casually, right? Hey, how many times did she sleep with you before you followed her to this mountain? Now that I have seen your body again, you still have the nerve to get married? Who would marry a woman whose body has been seen naked? Really-"

This time, before he could finish his words, half of his leg was cut off.

Meng Liyun paused and looked at Xiao.

Xiao took back the knife, and held it against his arm. Because he was facing sideways, I couldn't see the expression on his face.

"You, you want to stand up for her?! I've seen such dirty women before—"

The man screamed and looked at Xiao in disbelief.

"if……"

Xiao looked at the man and spoke. His voice was very soft - especially against the backdrop of the man's screams - but it was still clearly heard by everyone.

"Because you saw my body, it's dirty... Aren't you the dirty one?" Xiao tilted his head slightly, his face as cold as ice, "Besides, if you were dead, how could you let "people" see your body naked?"

Xiao emphasized his words and looked at him with cold eyes. Suddenly, he raised his hand and cut off his arms. Before the man could scream, he touched his head.

The man's voice stopped abruptly when Xiao placed his hand on his forehead.

The man's pupils shrank suddenly, and his mouth seemed to have forgotten to close, drooling foolishly. His whole body began to tremble, as if he was unaware of the injuries on his body. Regardless of the blood that kept pumping out, he froze there, as if he had suddenly become a dull puppet.

Meng Liyun was stunned when she saw this. She had never seen Xiao use this kind of thing. She slowly moved closer and found that Xiao's pupils had turned a strange red and his eyes kept trembling, as if he was quickly flipping through something.

Finally, Xiao loosened his grip. The man immediately collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and it was unclear whether he was dead or alive.

Xiao held his forehead slightly, rubbed his eyes tiredly, and after a while, he glanced at Meng Liyun: "He is still alive."

"Ah?" Meng Liyun didn't react for a moment.

"You decide." Xiao didn't say much. He walked to the side and sat down, holding his forehead and lowering his head, as if he was sorting out something.

Meng Liyun looked at him, then at the unconscious man lying in a pool of blood, said "Oh", walked up to the man, looked at the unconscious man, thought for a moment, stepped on his only remaining intact leg, and woke him up.

"Hi~"

Meng Liyun saw the man open his eyes, smiled and waved at him, bent down and pulled off his mask, and found that there was white and red sticky blood foam under the mask, and she couldn't see his face clearly. She couldn't help but feel disgusted.

Meng Liyun saw the man looking at her, smiled and waved at him: "Are you awake?"

The man looked at her blankly, as if he had suddenly become a fool.

Meng Liyun met his confused eyes, but did not show any mercy. She turned on her toes and stepped towards his crotch.

The owl standing by even heard a sound that made his teeth ache.

Xiao paused, slightly sideways, and glanced over there. There seemed to be some complexity in his eyes when he looked at Meng Liyun.

Meng Liyun simply stepped on his roots, chopped him into several pieces with a machete, tied each piece to stones and threw them into the river, while scooping water to wash the blood off the knife on her hand.

"This man is amazing." Even after sitting down again, Meng Liyun couldn't help but say, "It's very puzzling. He was told that he came to this mountain to seek death. He also knew that this was a desolate place, so how dare he provoke others like this?"

"The ignorant are fearless. They are used to being barbaric in the countryside." Xiao picked up some firewood and looked at the burning flames. "I checked his memory. He lost his mother when he was young and his father when he was young. His father was addicted to alcohol and gambling, so he often beat him. So he learned to be barbaric. After his father died, he had no one to support him. He could only follow the gangsters around him to eat and drink. If he didn't obey, he would be beaten. He could only follow them in everything... He followed those people from bullying men and women to burning, killing and looting, and finally became the same as them."

"This time he was rejected by the girl he loved, so he ran to this remote place and went crazy. He wanted to hunt a few wild animals to vent his anger, but he didn't expect to run into you."

Xiao said, glancing at her: "It is just an unexpected disaster for you. There is no need to pity him because of his past."

"How could that be?" Meng Liyun heard the hidden meaning in his words and couldn't help laughing. "It wasn't my fault that he had such a miserable childhood. Besides, after hearing what he said, it's impossible to forgive him. I even thought I was too lenient and gave him a quick death."

As he said this, he sneered.

Xiao looked at her, and seeing that she really didn't feel anything, he nodded slightly.

"Get dressed."

As the owl spoke, he closed his eyes, leaned against the tree roots, and prepared to sleep.

Meng Liyun was puzzled. She looked down and found that her collar was almost open to her chest. Her face turned red and she quickly tightened it and put it on.
