C98 (2/2)
”Ying, I've already mastered the eighteen forms of the Coiling Dragon Saber Technique to perfection. You don't have to worry, I will be fine during this battle. Just wait obediently at home for me to come back.”
”Yes.” The woman lightly draped a loose robe over the man's shoulders. ”Is it cold?”
The man laughed foolishly, ”I'm not cold.”
”Fool!” The woman hugged the man tightly, tears streaming down her face soundlessly. ”Ang, I'm scared!”
”Don't be afraid, be good, there's me.” The man also embraced the woman, gently stroking her back, immersing himself in this peaceful and serene happiness.
”Ang, this is the peace knot of the human race. I learned it from Grandma Wu. It can keep you safe and sound.” The woman silently wiped away her tears and tied a red knot around the man's neck. Then, she stood on her tiptoes and lightly kissed the man's forehead.
”Ang, if I'm not here anymore, I must live on.”
The man was at a loss of what to do. He hurriedly asked, ”Ying Ying, what happened?”
”It's nothing,” the woman shook her head. ”It's just that I'm a little scared.”
”With me here, I will protect you for the rest of your life!”
”Ang, promise me, no matter what happens, you must live on.”
The man panicked even more, as if he had a vague feeling that something was about to happen, but he couldn't guess what it was.
”Ang, I want you to promise me!”
Seeing the pleading look in the woman's eyes, the man's heart ached. He quickly nodded and said, ”I promise you, Ying, but you have to promise me too. Accompany me for a lifetime, I won't …”
”Ang!” The woman interrupted as she held onto the man's hand. They arrived at a hillside. It was still early in the morning and the sun had just risen. The winter sun wasn't dazzling. Instead, there was a gentle glow shining on the snowflakes, causing them to shine.
”Ang, we were born a monster. Have you ever complained?”
Then, he stepped forward slightly and hugged the woman from behind, holding her tightly in his arms. With his face close to the girl's ear, he looked at the distant dawn and whispered, ”I'm glad that I'm in the demon race, because the demon race has you …”
”Ang,” the woman sobbed, ”Promise me you'll love the demons as much as you love me.”
Maybe it was because the woman today was too abnormal that the man was slightly startled, but he was even more confused. Because the woman was so sad, he was also a bit panicked and quickly replied: ”I agree, I agree to everything!” Ying, what happened? ”
”Ang, let's not talk about this anymore? It's been a long time since we went to Howling Wolf Mountain, let's go take a look. ”
The man put away the doubt on his face and nodded.
”I'll carry you!”
”No!” The lady smiled as she shook her head, ”It's always you carrying me. This time, I want to run shoulder-to-shoulder with you.”
”En!”
The man bent down and instantly turned into a ten feet long grey wolf. He raised his head and looked at the girl with a hint of love in his eyes. The woman gently caressed the head of the wolf. The wolf narrowed its eyes and revealed an expression of enjoyment.
The woman also bent down and transformed into a white wolf that was slightly smaller than the grey wolf. She rubbed her head against the wolf's neck.
”Aooo!”
”Aooo!”
The two wolves, one gray and the other white, ran freely on the snow-white ground, chasing and playing with each other. In this peaceful and peaceful world, it seemed so cozy and sweet.
The two wolves, perhaps they knew more about love than humans. Even if there was going to be a war in a few days' time, even if they would not leave for another few days, at least they were together now. I have you, you have me, that is enough.
It was the sacred land of the wolf tribe, and also the symbol of the wolf tribe's oath. Every time the sun set in the west, from afar, there would always be a moment, as if the sun was held by the head of the wolf. At that moment, it was as if the sun was eternal. Wolves loved each other, so every time the two wolves became partners, they would come to Howling Wolf Mountain at a bright time of sunset and make a promise of love. The setting sun held up by them was like a future that would never sink, symbolizing their love, never change.
When the story of this place was told by Grandpa Sun, I was moved. I really wanted to personally see how the wolf clan would meet for a lifetime in this sacred place.
I realized it now, but I didn't want to see it any more, because I knew then that a good beginning didn't have a happy ending, so I didn't want this sad scene to be imprinted on my mind and then tainted by the blood that came later.
In winter, after the snow stopped, a sun actually appeared, but the sun had already set. Greywolf and White Wolf looked at the red sun that was gradually setting, and their eyes revealed longing. They then looked at each other for a while, and slowly walked towards the top of the mountain with incomparably pious steps, and when the outline of the sun touched with the top of the mountain, they made a promise that they would never regret it in their lives …
”Awoo — woo — —”
