Chapter 2 Colorful Demonic Deer

Suddenly, the village girl seemed to remember something important. She quickly squatted down, patted Qiqi's head gently, and said with a smile:
"Oh, little sister! Tomorrow, the Spirit Hall's messenger will come to our village to awaken the spirits of the children of the right age. Do you want to bring this little brother with you?"

There was some confusion in Qiqi's eyes.

"What is a martial soul?"

Being in the "Douluo Continent", she actually didn't know about martial spirits. Qiqi's rhetorical question made the village woman at a loss.

"This... is difficult to explain. Anyway, when you go there, the Spirit Hall messenger will explain it to you in detail!"

Qiqi nodded seriously.

"Thank...thank you! Qiqi...will go."

Seeing Qiqi agreed, the village woman smiled happily.

After a few pleasantries, she said goodbye and left without further ado.

And at this time.

Qiqi looked back, but Xiao was nowhere to be found.

Under the bright moonlight, in the vast forest, Xiao was walking alone.

The original meaning of Xiao is an elf walking in the mountains and forests.

Knowing that he carries a lot of karma, he will bring blood and disaster to those around him. Therefore, for thousands of years, Xiao has never been close to humans.

And these deep mountains and old forests are more like my home.

Xiao stood beside a clear spring, facing the moonlight, and staring at his own reflection in the water.

suddenly!

The mirror-like water surface is rippling with ripples.

Following the light, I saw a pure white fawn drinking from the spring water on the other side. Its snow-like fur looked crystal clear and sparkling under the moonlight.

I don't want to break the tranquility of the moment.

Xiao slowly turned around and walked into the depths of the jungle.

Right now.

With Xiao's keen perception, he discovered that something was flying towards him.

He stretched out his right hand, grabbed the thing out of thin air, and caught it steadily.

Looking closely, I found that it was a ripe berry.

"YoYo--!"

The fawn cried happily and ran to Xiao. In its mouth, it held another berry of the same size.

It lowered its head, placed the berries in front of Xiao, and then rubbed Xiao's palm gently.

Immediately, it leaped lightly and disappeared into the depths of the jungle.

The scene before him was so peaceful and beautiful that Xiao's long-silent heart was touched.

Perhaps it is because I am not a human being, but a spirit born in the forest, that these small animals are so kind to me.

The birds and beasts in the clouds are like this, and so are the deer here.

Xiao picked up the berries on the ground, put them to his mouth, and took a bite. The berries were slightly sweet and refreshing.

unconsciously.

Xiao leaned against an ancient tree and fell asleep peacefully.

A dreamless night.

When he woke up again, the morning light had already fallen on him. In a trance, Xiao felt a gentle and warm touch.

Turn around and look.

But he saw a divine deer with a dark blue body and colorful spots all over its body, lying quietly on the ground, acting as a "pillow" for him.

Its jagged and interlaced antlers looked like a natural blue crystal sculpture, magnificent under the refraction of sunlight. At this moment, Xiao was lying on its softest belly, waking up from a deep sleep.

"you're awake?"

The Colorful Deer spoke softly, and it turned out to be the ethereal and pleasant voice of a girl.

"I am the lord of this forest. Humans call me the Seven-Colored Demonic Deer."

After a pause, Mo Minglu continued:
"Your aura is very similar to that of our soul beasts. I guess you are also a hegemon of some faction, who transformed and rebuilt himself in order to survive the catastrophe of death, right?"

Xiao was a little confused.

Xiao had no idea what the Devil Deer meant by "soul beast" and "death calamity", but he did understand the word "transformation".

In the past, in order to integrate into Liyue Harbor, all the immortals of Liyue had to give up their animal bodies and transform into human forms. My current form was inspired by the "Emperor of Rock" thousands of years ago, so it can be considered a "transformation" to some extent.

"Um……"

Xiao nodded subconsciously.

Upon hearing this, Mo Minglu showed a hint of curiosity and asked quickly:
"Then... you should have a human name, right? Can you tell me?"

Xiao stood up, standing in the chilly morning breeze. "My name is Xiao."

The extremely brief self-introduction surprised Mo Minglu a little. But at this moment, Xiao was indeed confused. This was not Liyue. As a Yaksha who was born to protect Liyue and died to exorcise demons, where should he go?
At this time.

A group of deer walked happily through the forest and finally gathered in front of the Deer. Some of them held berries in their mouths, and some held flowers in their mouths, and placed these trophies in front of the Deer.

"These little guys are all my children!"

As the Devil Deer spoke, he gently rubbed his cheek against the little guy in front of him.

This big family seems particularly warm and harmonious.

The Devil Deer seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and continued:

"If you don't know what to do now, think about whether there are important people who need your care and protection."

Important person? Guardian?
If it were in the past, Xiao would probably answer without hesitation - Emperor and Liyue.

But at this moment, only a small figure vaguely appeared deep in Xiao's heart.

Seven seven!

Xiao still remembered her life story clearly, but at this moment, he no longer had the heart to recall it.

Since I met her in another world, I should send her back to Liyue safely and hand her over to Mr. Bai Shu.

"Well, thanks for the advice!"

Xiao clasped his hands together and said goodbye seriously to the Demonic Deer in front of him.

"It's time for me to go back!"

“If you are in danger, you can call my name. No matter where you are, Xiao will come to you upon summon!”

Done.

Xiao's figure flashed and disappeared in the center of the deer herd.

In just a breath.

Xiao's figure has already appeared on the roof of the thatched hut.

What came into view was a field of sweetly scented flowers.

I saw the petite Qiqi holding a hoe and digging the soil bit by bit. She dug a small hole, planted the seeds, covered them with soil, fertilized and watered them.

This simple process was extremely difficult for Qiqi to complete. As a zombie, its body was much stiffer than that of an ordinary person, and sometimes it would not obey orders at all.

"Let me help you!"

Xiao leaped up and appeared in front of Qiqi, wanting to take the hoe from Qiqi's hand.

Qiqi looked up and saw the person in front of her.

"You...you're back. You're not...not hurt, right?"

She spoke each word with difficulty, but her eyes were filled with unconcealable joy.

"Big brother, can you...can you send Qiqi home? Qiqi wants to go home. Mr. Bai, Changsheng, and...Master Hu of the Wangsheng Hall, Mr. Zhongli..."

"Qiqi... Qiqi has a bad memory. Qiqi is very scared. After a while, she will... forget about us..."

Qiqi said as she took out a small diary. Because Qiqi had a poor memory, there were some things that she could only write down in this diary.

Xiao took the diary and flipped it over.

But I found that it was a full page with all the people in Liyue who had contact with Qiqi recently: Traveler, Paimeng, Yaoyao, Yanfei, Xiangling, Xingqiu...

And at the end of the page, it is "Xiao"!
Qiqi wrote these names over and over again. After reading through the entire book, there are already nearly a hundred pages.

Looking at Qiqi in front of her, her light pink eyes were still as clear and stiff as ever.

Xiao knew, of course, that her body was a zombie, and she couldn't even cry or laugh...

Thinking of this.

Xiao slowly squatted down, held Qiqi's cold little hand in his palm, and said seriously:

"Of course, I will protect you and send you home!"

"According to Liyue's rules, the contract is now concluded. Anyone who breaks his promise will be punished by being eaten by rocks."

Done.

Xiao reached out and gently patted Qiqi's little head.

Right now.

"Ding-dong--!"

"Ding-dong--!"

The communication bell in the village was rang loudly.

"Fellow villagers! The Spirit Hall's envoy has arrived. Please bring your children of appropriate age to the village entrance as soon as possible."

"In half an hour, the martial spirit awakening ceremony will officially begin."
