Chapter 10 (1/2)
Chengying cleared his throat and slowly told the story of one thousand and one nights: ”once upon a time, there was an ancient country whose king was betrayed by his lover, so he hated women very much.
In retaliation, the king held a wedding every day, and then brutally executed the newly married girl after the wedding night.
The king's cruel act not only put young girls in danger, but also aroused the sympathy of a girl. She was determined to end the tragedy and volunteered to become the king's bride.
But different from other girls, she began to tell stories to the king as soon as she entered the palace. Her story was very wonderful, but it stopped abruptly in the early morning of the next day.
The king was listening and asked her, why don't you continue? She said, I can't go on, because it's almost dawn, and I'm going to be executed by you.
Hearing the speech, the king immediately pardoned her today's death penalty and asked her to finish the story.
But the next day, the girl told another equally wonderful story. In order to finish the story, the king had to pardon his death sentence again.
In this way, the girl has told a total of nearly three years and 1001 stories. In these three years, the king was moved by the girl, gave up killing her, and recorded the 1001 stories. ” The filmmaker can't remember what the original story is like, just tell it according to his own impression.
”I was thinking, I'm like that girl, but I don't have such a wonderful story, so I can only let you get used to a better life, so you can't leave me and don't give up eating me!” As soon as the film was finished, he pushed the ice emperor away, turned around and ran away.
The ice emperor was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: ”OK! You said I was the cruel king, looking for a fight! ”
The ice emperor waved his small short hand and ran after the film. Neither of them used their soul power. They laughed for a while, making each other very embarrassed. Finally, they fell down on the bamboo rocking chair and smiled at each other.
”If life gets better now, maybe I really won't give up eating you?” The ice emperor smiled.
The filmmaker shook his head: ”what is life now? But with some iced fruits and several new types of fried vegetables and hot pot, what I am most satisfied with is the water-cooled air conditioning system that uses groundwater to cool down. Is that enough for you?
You know, we haven't used the power, no network, no mobile phone, and even the little overlord game console. When we are bored at night, we can only hold you and count the stars in the yard. Me! It won't be so easy to be satisfied! ”
”But... Only ten thousand years!” The ice emperor made such a sigh for some reason.
”That's what will happen in the future. If you want to extend our agreement at that time, you can't do it! What's more, ten thousand years, if spent as human beings, is already wonderful. It is precisely because of the wonderful life that human beings can calmly face the short life of a hundred years! ”
The ice emperor nodded unconsciously. The experience of these days alone gave her an impression comparable to hundreds of years of cultivation in the far north.
”I really enjoyed my time with you.” The ice emperor buried his head in the shadow's chest and said stuffy, as if he didn't want the shadow to see her red face.
”Shall we... Be together forever? I... I promise I won't want to eat you again! ” The ice emperor buried his head in his chest, and his words trembled.
Chengying blinked his eyes and was strange in his heart: have we achieved the right result?
But he blurted out, ”OK! That's it. Don't go back. ”
