A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 681: Two Souls in One Body

Wan Yuwu's phoenix eyes had clear double eyelids, dark and deep pupils, and there was an unbelievable coldness in the look he gave her.

"Oh... yes, I am the foreign enemy Rouran whom you despised, and the righteous army that you discarded. If Rouran had not entered the pass in the first place, I would not be where I am today, and I would not have met you."

"So I said this is an unsolvable paradox. But..."

Yuan Wuyou saw the boy's increasingly gloomy face, and quickly reached out to grab his thin shoulders, "I just want to tell you that I never wanted to kill you. As long as you turn back, I will believe that you are a spy who endured humiliation and went to Zhou Kingdom."

Because she grabbed his wound, Wan Yuwuyu shivered slightly in pain. He glanced at her hand on his shoulder and saw a white jade ring on her right middle finger.

The gold-sprinkled patterns on the seal on the body of the ring are engraved with the long-lost Rouran language.

Rouran had already disappeared when she was born, so she naturally could not understand the metaphors in the text.

At this moment, Wan Yu Wu Yu suddenly understood why she indulged that fox-like man repeatedly. When he saw the ring she gave him personally, he would also feel a little bit of affection for her.

Realizing that she had hurt him, Yuan Wuyou pulled her hand back awkwardly, but he subconsciously grabbed her wrist and let go of her with trembling fingers.

The young man stared at her with his dark, deep phoenix eyes, focused and gentle.

"Wuyou... I have never betrayed you. But I have never trusted you either. So, what kind of person am I in your heart? An untrustworthy rebel? A spineless accomplice?"

Yuan Wuyou said seriously, "I just think you have your own difficulties. Although I don't know what you live for, but you can persist. There must be some obsession that I don't know."

As long as she doesn't completely dislike him in her heart, Wan Yuwuyu will become more courageous.

So Wan Yuwuyou confessed a lot to Yuan Wuyou.

For example, his neglectful mother and damnable father, in fact, only his uncle treated him well since he was a child. But his uncle took the blame for his sister, became a prostitute, and was held hostage by the rebels, and Zhou Guo used this to threaten him.

But he said only this to inspire her sympathy.

What Wan Yuwuyu did not say was that although he seemed to be a loyal and stubborn person who repaid evil with kindness, in fact he was just placing his hopes on the Yuwen family and the Yuan family.

After hearing this, Yuan Wuyou couldn't help but feel pity and secretly felt guilty and distressed.

"I'm sorry for you."

"No, I chose this path myself. The kings of all dynasties just kept giving us a way to survive. If it weren't for you, we would have died in the dust of history long ago, and it wouldn't even be worth mentioning in history books."

Wan Yuwuyu suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked sincere.

"Actually... I have an evil disease. Shibi said that I have... two souls in one body."

"Ah? Are you possessed?"

The girl, who had a look of pity just now, suddenly widened her brown eyes and looked at him with some resistance and fear.

The black-clothed youth in front of her still had bright eyes as he stared at her solemnly, and said in a deep voice:

"Shibi said that people with two souls in one body always accept the humiliation and try their best to suppress their evil nature. On the other hand, they are ambitious and don't care about their relatives, just want to kill for pleasure. If they were in your Central Plains... they would be called moody madmen."

Yuan Wuyou was so shocked that he was speechless...

"Is it true? But I don't think I've ever seen you lose control and not recognize your relatives." Wan Yuwuyu suppressed the "Because it's you" that he wanted to blurt out in his heart! But he opened and closed his lips several times, but didn't say it. In the end, he just said in a calm voice with a cold look in his eyes,

"In fact, I've almost driven myself crazy by suppressing myself. Only when I see you can I feel somewhat alive. In my heart, there are only two good people in this world, one is you and the other is my uncle."

The girl scratched her head somewhat flattered.

"Ah? I am unworthy of it, but I am deeply honored."

This official reply was her usual perfunctory response. Wan Yuwuyu suddenly pulled his lips and laughed at himself.

"Now when I see my uncle... I sometimes go crazy, but not when I see you. In my heart, you are always so sunny and shining, and you are not degraded by the dust."

As he spoke, his deep black eyes stared at Yuan Wuyou without blinking, staring at her openly and sincerely:
"I really hope you will always be like this... Don't fall! Don't let me... lose my only hope."

"What does it mean to be degraded? If I don't do what you want, do you still want to take revenge on me?"

"No, I just want to bury you properly and give you a decent funeral."

Yuan Wuyou felt his scalp tingling after hearing this. "Be more normal."

She felt that Wan Yuwu was particularly strange today. Perhaps he was infected by his uncle's emotions. For the first time in his life, he was talking to her about the passing of time and grief.

But his tone was not ambiguous, not like the love between men and women, the kind of inexplicable obsession and bond... She couldn't explain it either.

At that time, the two of them just sat in the hall. There was a square table between the two chairs, but there was no tea or decorations.

The girl opposite him was wearing a red dress with black edges, a high ponytail, and a delicate baby face under her casually scattered bangs.

She held her chin with one hand and put her arm on the table, which made her pretty face look even more radiant and her features more delicate. Especially the small red mole under the end of her right eye, which made her look even more charming.

Even though the girl had her eyelashes drooped and looked absent-minded, her whole person looked radiant because of the heroic and majestic look between her brows.

The young man in black suddenly said:
"The tribes south of the Tianshan Mountains and north of the Kunlun Mountains love to train eagles and wolves. To train an eagle is to imprison it, not give it food or water, and not allow it to close its eyes and sleep. To train a wolf is also to lock it up, beat it, starve it, and make it afraid of you. The end result is either waiting to die or submitting to you."

"Ah?" Yuan Wuyou was in the middle of a lot of thoughts, but was disrupted by his sudden change of words.

She raised her long eyelashes and met his gloomy deep blue eyes. His gaze was solemn and sad.

"Do you remember the white wolf I showed you at the Mausoleum of the Gods? I picked it up when I first arrived in Huaxu, but I didn't bring it to you until I tamed it."

Yuan Wuyou chuckled, raised his eyelids, and looked the black-clothed boy up and down, "Speaking of which, I now doubt that with a body like yours... can you tame wolves?"

"Despise me?" The young man's eyes darkened and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but it disappeared in a flash.

"But you prefer the weak and incapable ones... to show that you support the weak, right? If I were really an ungrateful person with thorns all over my body, you wouldn't save me. Just like how you ignored me in the past no matter how outstanding I was in Zhou State, but now you pity me."

"That's right, who can refuse to help others?"

Yuan Wuyou realized it later, and recalled Gao Yanzong's sour words, and his smile froze. "Are you hiding something? Some people say you did it on purpose, look me in the eye and tell me if you did it?"

Wan Yuwu's eyes were solemn and focused. "That kind of person is judging others by their own standards. Do you believe it?"

His question embarrassed Yuan Wuyou, "How can you be as scheming as him, you are such a stubborn fool."
