Tomorrow's Ark, raised by children

In a sense, she was colder than Kelsey, exuding an air of repelling people thousands of miles away.

"Then I should solve this farce myself," Zhang Yubai said, "By the way, those four... were all killed by the River God? Why?"

"You can still ask me three questions, this one doesn't count."

The painter turned half of his face away, and then said: "It was all killed by the long insect. As for the reason... we can only say that the road is different."

"Okay." Zhang Yubai thought for a moment, then nodded heavily, "Sister, what's your name?"

"Xi—this is a problem."

"Xi?" Zhang Yubai's eyes widened, and his body trembled, "Sister Ke Nian said, Xi...is another name for her."

"what?"

Miss Nian?The painter, that is, Xi, reacted a little, and then was also surprised.

Obviously, that guy said something strange when he was dating the man in front of him.

What will it be?

In short, it is by no means a good thing.

"Sister Nian happened to swear that day, what did she say... If she breaks her promise, she will be struck by lightning and killed at night." Zhang Yubai recalled a little bit, bits and pieces from more than ten years ago appeared in his mind, the corners of his mouth slightly She raised her eyebrows and showed a comfortable smile, "When I asked who Ji Xi was, she said, 'Xi is another name for me, your older sister'."

Compared to the emotion he felt when he fell into memories, Xi's mood was much worse.

However, Xi is no stranger to the bad things he did that year.Even if he is still a little angry, it's just... just angry.

"That's her joke, she's always been like this," Xi raised her eyebrows, "Compared to these, what is your relationship with her like? I'm curious, how does a human make her like that People give well-crafted creations and leave tokens. Her breath is very strong on you."

"It's a long story." Zhang Yubai smiled and shook his head, "I can only say...it's feelings."

"Emotions? What kind of person can make her have feelings? It's hard to get interested."

"Back then I was young..."

"Small?" Xi raised her eyebrows again, "How old is it?"

"In his early ten years."

"Heh." Xi sneered softly, "Ten-year-old child, emotional?"

"Not an ordinary emotion."

"What kind of emotion is that?"

"It's just...emotional."

Zhang Yubai said seriously.

"...that's all." Seeing that Zhang Yubai didn't want to say more, Xi didn't ask any more, "When will she bother me, it's not too late to ask—what's really important is that her spells, Why do you have it?"

"Don't you know?" Zhang Yubai blinked slyly, "You ask me so many questions, you must ask me a few more, right?"

"No." Xi refused domineeringly, "If you try to cross the line again, you will be at your own risk."

"Hey, let's do it." Zhang Yubai made some calculations—he was still two questions away. "First I want to ask... who is the river god?"

"Qin Siyi."

Xi is simple and authentic.

A name, a simple name....

Zhang Yubai's expression froze for a moment, and then a smile emerged, a rich smile.

He laughed out loud.

"Wow, wow! It's her! I said she was wrong..." He laughed, "So, the wound I met when I met her was from fighting those four people? The possibility... After all, it should be a ray of her projection."

"Then the last question." Zhang Yubai corrected his posture and coughed twice, "I am asking myself on behalf of Si Suitai."

"Si Suitai's question can be asked separately, let's ask your question first."

evening road.

Zhang Yubai's lips moved slightly, a little surprised, "That's great... Let me change the question... Wait for me to think about it... Ah, I thought of it."

"Why am I here?"

"The answer to this question is simple and unimportant. Do you really want to ask this?"

"I'm sure."

"Okay." Xi nodded, "Because I thought you would encounter an accident. Before you used her creation, I had already used my authority to rescue you. However, due to the influence of her creation, my spell was delayed for a while."

"I see... I really appreciate your concern, you are worthy of being my sister."

Xi frowned, she hated such an inexplicable familiarity.

"Just a little curious about you. She rarely behaves like this to other people... If the person who bears her tokens and creations dies in my painting, she will probably quarrel with me. "

"You don't want to upset your sister, do you?"

The painter's expression froze.

"certainly not."

She lightly denied Zhang Yubai's words, her heart trembled.

In order to alleviate the feeling of unknown origin, she hurriedly said: "Let's get down to business, Si Suitai."

"Let me explain one or two first: I went down the mountain because some people encountered misfortune on my mountain. I happened to be in a good mood and rescued one or two. The change in the picture scroll was because of the river god. I didn't deal with it in time because I was not interested... ..."

"These are not important," Zhang Yubai raised his hand to interrupt, "The important thing is

—Would you like to guard the frontier? "

—

It's mid-term, and I don't have enough manuscripts to save. I may ask for leave, or it may become a chapter of a thousand words.

Everyone will understand me, right?

I really can't help it...

Volume Two: Different Routes to the Same Goal: Chapter 90 Chapter 86: The Shock of the Evening

"Guarding the frontier?"

"Yes, guarding the border." Zhang Yubai nodded lightly, "There are a lot of disturbances in Saibei, and the situation is serious... This involves a confidential incident."

"Please say."

"I didn't even tell the boy next to me about this matter—oh, by the way, before talking about these things, Zuo Xuanliao...I mean, what happened to the boy who came in with me?" Zhang Yubai looked solemn, but suddenly changed the topic.

"...Okay. If you change the subject like this again, I—"

"Okay sister, I understand my sister."

Xi took a breath of cold air.

It's only been a short time since I met him, how did he get so close?Ah, it's almost fine to call her sister as soon as they meet, but at least there must be a period of adaptation to her status as a "friend's sister", right?He hadn't even gotten used to the "guest" in front of him who could have a good relationship with that scumbag, but he seemed to have known him, a painter who had never left the house for eight lifetimes, and his words were not polite.

"Ahem, it's like this - in the northern border, which is the area where demons gather... I found a strange energy fluctuation, which seems to be a rising existence, and it may be the leader of the demons. Although according to my understanding of him They seem to have no 'head'."

Zhang Yubai paused, "Sister, do you have tea here?"

Xi exhaled irritably through her nose, drew a paintbrush, and painted in emptiness. Immediately, a pot of brewed tea appeared beside Zhang Yubai, accompanied by a complete set of tea sets.

"Okay." Zhang Yubai said while pouring tea for himself, "He has shown a stronger corrosive power than demons, and also... an evolution."

"Evolutionary?"

"Yes." Zhang Yubai nodded. He picked up a cup full of famous tea produced in Gouwu City, and took a sip—the temperature was moderate, just enough for the mouth and stomach. "Do you know... Hai Si in the Linhai area?"

"Naturally." Xi frowned, "However, haven't they been restrained very successfully?"

"That energy shows the evolutionary properties similar to Hai Si, including but not limited to devouring, natural evolution, active learning, advanced intelligence, and... a terrifying collection."

Zhang Yubai's tone became heavier, and he could hear the seriousness of the situation.

"The giant-like city and the giant-like soldiers are already struggling to face them... Your other sister, the fairy Ling, has already gone to the border under the persuasion of her elder brother."

"Ling?" Xi was slightly surprised, "Her?"

She can completely understand the seriousness of the matter, after all... This has reached the point where they need to intervene.

"Oh, that's right... What I said before is really a bit of a conclusion. I still have to emphasize that the energy fluctuations have only been observed, but it doesn't mean that everything is the same as I said. This is the person above Use the information elements exchanged for the human effort in the frontier."

"And the one in the attic?"

"That one..." Zhang Yubai was slightly dazed, as if he was thinking, "He, uh... Even if he has the ability to reach the sky, but the other party is hiding it, the only one who has contact with him The soldiers also died in the vast night, and their bodies could not be found."

"So we're needed, are we?"

"Yes."

"It's ridiculous." Xi didn't know if she was mocking with disdain, "Restrain us on weekdays, but today you need to borrow my strength?"

"You can refuse." Zhang Yubai shrugged, "I'm just here to negotiate, and I even have another task—that is, to deal with that river god."

"Since it's a negotiation, don't you have anything else you want to ask me?"

Xi sneered a bit, and said.

"No more." Zhang Yubai shook his head, "Sister, you have explained everything that needs to be said at the very beginning, so I don't need to ask too much, after all... you are so kind, why do you need me?" Are you asking more questions? Sister, don’t worry, the Si Suitai, that is, my superiors, I will handle it well.”

"You?" Xi obviously didn't expect Zhang Yubai to say such words, she was slightly taken aback, then looked at him uncertainly and said, "Also, why am I kind?"

"As you said... when you see the victims, you save them, when you see the foolish people who save the people, you feel pity, and even more so, you save me... how can you not be kind?"

Zhang Yubai smiled slightly, spoke in a formal and decent voice, and said softly.

"...glib."

Xi slightly changed his expression, remained silent for a while, and said.

"Hahaha, how could it be a glib tongue? Elder sister, you are the younger sister of my younger sister, so there is no way you are not a kind person." Seeing Xi's expression, Zhang Yubai seemed very happy, so he laughed.

"What kind of logic is this? You think she's a good person?"

Xi frowned, and asked with a little curiosity.

She's not a chatty person.But now, she would be happy to say a few more words.

Although it's glib, but...it really pleases people.

"Naturally." Zhang Yubai readily affirmed, "For me, she is a bright light. Why? Sister, would you like to hear the story here?"

"There is nothing more to say at this time. If you have nothing else to do and don't want to leave, then just say a few words. As long as you are not like the elder sister you said, you have no real friends all day long. If you don’t have a whole sentence, it’s fine.”

Xi is a person who pays attention to interest.

She can paint on weekdays, which is her hobby.

When painting, she started to paint when she was excited and stopped when she was not.

Everything, when she is interested, she may do it.

But if she lost her interest, she would never do it.

"I met her when I was in my early teens and at first I hated her because she was eating and drinking at our restaurant—"

The corner of Xi's mouth twitched.

This is indeed something she can do.

"Later, I also saw her extraordinary ability...so I changed a little bit. Until one day, my father left me for a long time to deal with some matters. During that half day, I was in a state of anxiety. I... a token."

Zhang Yubai took out the folding fan, with a little more emotion in his eyes.

"Then, we once traveled around the mountains and rivers and became friends—until one day, my father was going to leave for three days at once! So I was taken by her to live at home. I used to hug each other to sleep, talk in my sleep at night, and more It was born and died..."

Listening to stories is to go with tea.

So Xi picked up the tea for Zhang Yubai and poured a cup for herself.

But when she picked it up to drink, her ears trembled suddenly, suspecting that she had heard it wrong.

——Embracing and sleeping?Talking in your sleep at night? ?go through fire and water? ? ?

This this.......

In this way they talked a lot until the very end.
