Chapter 1217: Always Frank, Straightforward and Firm
Ji Wushuang had never heard any news about his "cheap dad" from Feng Ying. Even the people around Feng Ying, Ming Zi, Ming Luo and others kept silent about it. The only thing they knew was that his "cheap dad" was born good-looking.
Many people secretly discussed that it was because of the "cheap dad"'s unparalleled handsome appearance that he attracted the Phoenix Emperor.
Therefore, Ji Wushuang's only impression of his "cheap dad" was "handsome".
This was also the reason why Ji Wushuang didn't think of "Dark Star" as his "cheap dad" at first, because he didn't look very handsome, far from...
When Ji Wushuang thought of this, his mind went blank.
Who are you far inferior to?
My memory is fuzzy, but there are no new thoughts to fill this fuzziness and emptiness.
She took a deep breath, looked up and asked, "So, what's your name?"
"Xia Xingzhi."
"Do it?"
“Yes, the road may be long, but if you keep going you will reach your destination.”
"Well, that's a good name." Ji Wushuang was silent for a moment, but finally gave a compliment.
Xia Xingzhi: "..." My daughter praised my name, but it seemed strange.
Ji Wushuang looked at Xia Xingzhi curiously, "So your appearance is the same as this puppet?"
"Of course it's different!" Xia Xingzhi said confidently, "My appearance is much better looking than this puppet! Much better! You know! Much better!"
Ji Wushuang curled his lips: "So you and the Spirit Snake God are..."
"It's an old friend."
"Then how did you and my mother meet?"
"..."
Xia Xingzhi didn't dare to say anything about this.
Without Feng Ying's permission, even if the person in front of him was his own daughter, he, no, it should be he, would shut up.
Ji Wushuang expressed his understanding. After all, Xia Xingzhi's position as a younger brother in the family was self-evident. "Aren't you going to tell mother about your identity?"
Xia Xingzhi: “…”
Ji Wushuang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Hmm? You want to continue hiding it?"
Xia Xingzhi: “…”
Ji Wushuang curled the corners of his lips and said quietly, "So you're clearly back, but you're still pretending to be dead, isn't that..."
Xia Xingzhi touched the back of his head and whispered, "Actually... I'm not pretending to be dead. After all, I'm really dead. All that's left of me is a trace of soul and consciousness."
Ji Wushuang: “…” Okay, I can’t refute it.
"Your mother..." Xia Xingzhi clenched his fists and whispered, "I think... your mother never mentioned me to anyone, especially you. She never said a single word about me to you. Maybe it's because... she has already made her choice."
Choose to let go of the past.
Choose to forget regrets.
Take big steps forward.
Feng Ying's soul has always been so firm and shining. She will not imprison herself in the past, nor will she indulge in what she has lost.
Furthermore, "He" may sound nice, being the spirit of the holy land of the gods, but in reality he is just a "wandering ghost" without a body or a future, waiting for the future when the universe breaks free from its destined trajectory, breaking free from its shackles and chains...
There is no meaning for him to exist.
He will eventually dissipate.
Just like the arrival of spring, the ice and snow will melt, the sun will come out of the clouds, and the rain will evaporate.
Why should he... selfishly make her remember the past? Reminisce about the past?
His only wish now is to stay by her side silently until spring comes.
The time they had spent together was already stolen by him, so how could he dare to ask for more?
Ji Wushuang looked at the man who was shrouded in a gloomy aura and seemed to be growing mushrooms all over his body. In the end, he couldn't help but say, "I think the best way to understand a person is through their behavior and words. If you don't ask, how can you know what mother is thinking?"
Xia Xingzhi met Ji Wushuang's gaze, finally gave a bitter smile, and murmured, "Maybe it's because I'm timid..."
Afraid that Feng Ying had forgotten him.
Afraid that Feng Ying no longer has him in her heart.
Afraid of many...
Because even after so many years, even though he has become like this, his heart still deeply loves Feng Ying...
Let him hold on to a little bit of "wish".
In this way, when spring comes and everything comes back to life, maybe he can also feel a little warmth?
Ji Wushuang didn't comment, only saying "Oh" lightly. After a long while, she stood up and said, "By the way, do you know my background?"
Xia Xingzhi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know."
"Then you should also know that I was once switched?"
"Ah."
"You understand, then. But when I wasn't with my mother, that person named Feng Zhen replaced me. She stayed by her side for thousands of years, making her laugh, making her happy, acting coquettishly towards her, and being proud of her..."
Xia Xingzhi thought Ji Wushuang was jealous of Feng Zhen, or perhaps had a grudge against Feng Ying, and hurriedly said, "What your mother did was simply because she didn't know your identity. Don't hate her."
Ji Wushuang nodded: "Yes, I know, I don't hate her, because the one who is disappointed is not me."
She turned her head, her eyes clear and calm, and spoke slowly.
"The one who feels the difference is Feng Zhen. She has been with Mother for thousands of years. To put it bluntly, even raising a dog should develop feelings for it. Given Mother's status, position, power, and personality, if she wanted, she could completely overcome all difficulties and keep Feng Zhen by her side, giving her the best life and the most worry-free everything.
But, mother ruthlessly abandoned Feng Zhen. Do you think mother is cruel? Although she is not her own child, she has indeed protected her for thousands of years. She gave up on her and severed ties with her. Do you think mother is cruel? "
Xia Xingzhi is able to become the guardian spirit of the sacred places of the gods, so he is certainly not a stupid person.
He couldn't help but stand there in a daze, his eyes wide open, motionless.
Listen to Ji Wushuang: "There is no hatred without reason in the world, nor is there love without reason. Mother gave up thousands of years of dedication and affection for Feng Zhen because in her heart, there is someone more important.
For example, although my mother and I had met before and had a good impression of each other, these impressions were not enough to make my mother choose me between Feng Zhen and me.
Mother decisively cut ties with Feng Zhen, decisively chose me, and decisively cut off all those troubles. Even though she faced so many insults, even though the Feng family called her cold-blooded and heartless, she never hesitated or regretted it. It was because I am your child...
Because your blood flows in my body.
Because I am her concern for you.
"Xia Xingzhi, you are indeed a weakling, hesitant and fearful, but my mother Feng Ying is not. She is certain of her feelings and love for you, so she was able to withstand countless pressures and choose to give birth to me and protect me."
Her love for you and me has always been open, straightforward and firm.
I am very happy to have such a dazzling woman as my mother and to be connected to me by blood..."
After Ji Wushuang finished speaking, he slowly raised his eyes and looked towards the sky. Xia Xing came to his senses belatedly and looked back, and indeed he saw the stunning man standing in the void, with an imperial aura and unparalleled majesty.
Her long hair swayed in the wind, and in her hand she held a crooked little doll that looked like it was made of cloth.
She lowered her sparkling eyes and stared at Xia Xingzhi without blinking, making him sweat profusely and panic. He stood up straight like a child who had done something wrong and said cautiously, "I... Ying... did you hear everything?"
