Chapter 4 · "You shouldn't be such a good person."

Su Mingan looked at the "fairies" around him.

He discovered very early on why these "fairies" all had black hair and black eyes.

"Did you find it?" Xiao Jingsan's voice came.

Su Mingan raised his eyes.

"These 'fairies' are actually alien species whose bloodline purification failed." Xiao Jingsan smiled and said: "I have made them look more and more like each other by constantly raising Gu."

Jamel Xiao’s words contained a lot of information. Su Ming'an estimated the time. This plot must last more than twenty minutes. The assassins in this world don't wait for anyone. It's too late this week, and he will definitely die once.

In this case, let him use his best information trick - showing the enemy weakness, luring the enemy into being careless and telling a large amount of information, and then backtracking.

"Take them away." Su Mingan gave the instruction to the mechanical roulette wheel, jumped directly off the roulette wheel.

"Hey, wait, brother!"

Mo Yan was so frightened that he never expected that his elder brother would jump down on his own initiative.

The mechanical wheel received the command and drove Yi Zhongyu and Mo Yan away.

"Brother! Big brother! You have a plan, right! You must be worried that we will hold you back, so you took the initiative to send us away! You can survive, right?"

Mo Yan's voice quickly flew farther and farther away and could no longer be heard.

Su Mingan fell to the ground and did not answer. He doesn't have any plan. His only plan is to retaliate after death, which is also his most trustworthy and practical plan.

When Xiao Jingsan saw that Su Ming'an took the initiative to stay, Xiao Jingsan raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "I didn't expect you to be so sacrificial for yourself and others."

Su Mingan chopped down a few tentacles around him and said calmly: "Then who do you think I am?"

"You are someone who puts your own life first." Xiao Jingsan said.

Su Mingan was noncommittal. What Jamel Xiao said is actually right.

"Can you please tell me more about what you just said?" Su Mingan said.

"You took the initiative to sacrifice yourself to stay. If I don't say anything, wouldn't I be a bit disappointed in your decision?" Xiao Jingsan said: "You exchanged your life for information. You are really... a bit surprised."

Su Mingan couldn't see any surprised expression on Xiao Jingsan's face, only teasing. After all, from any point of view, Su Mingan, who took the initiative to jump off the mechanical roulette wheel, would never have another chance to escape. Even if Su Mingan wanted to use props to teleport, the nearby tentacles would not give him a chance.

"Come on, let's talk." Su Mingan didn't even take the sword, and sat down calmly. Seeing this, the tentacle next to him even built him a tentacle stool so that he could sit and listen.

Su Ming'an waved to Xiao Jingsan: "By the way, do you have peach blossom wine? The peach blossom wine made by Li Mingyue looks delicious. I wonder if you have any. Can you give me a glass?"

The fairies around looked at Su Mingan in shock.

The eldest prince Lou Yue actually sat down in the enemy's base camp so calmly, without caring about life and death. They couldn't help but admire him in their hearts. He was probably a hero and nothing more than this.

They gradually stepped back a few steps, allowing Su Ming'an to sit more spaciously.

"Can you drink peach blossom wine?" Xiao Jingsan said, "Come on, when you were sitting in the Imperial Master's Pavilion, you got drunk just by smelling it. Now you actually dare to ask me for peach blossom wine."

Su Mingan shook his head: "I was not drunk at the time."

Xiao Jingsan smiled and said: "Your face was red at that time, and you still said you were not drunk?"

His tone even gradually became familiar, like chatting with an old friend who has been together for many years.

During the more than ten years that he had grown up with the eldest prince, Xiao Jingsan, as a shadow double, had spent thousands of days and nights chatting with him like this. Talk about the world, talk about growth, talk about folk stories, talk about kites outside the palace.

It’s just that things are changing, and no one can abandon their mission. Xiao Jingsan has the mission to awaken the alien king, and the eldest prince's ideals were crushed by the royal family. Xiao Jingsan had gradually forgotten how long it had been since he had chatted like this with the eldest prince.

——It seemed that from the moment they handcuffed the eldest prince, their eyes never met again, like the two blades of scissors gradually sliding apart.

Su Mingan shook his head: "Forget it if you don't have wine."

He looked around at the pavilions, bridges and flowing water. He looked up at the thousands of red and pink branches, feeling very peaceful in his heart.

When a person quietly waits for death, all he feels is a sense of peaceful rest. It's like a traveler who has been on the road for a long time has found a resting place to sleep.

Su Mingan squinted his eyes, suddenly feeling very tired.

Xiao Jingsan stared at Su Ming'an and suddenly said: "Wine has an analgesic effect."

Su Mingan raised his head.

Jamel Xiao said: "I know why you want wine. But it won't hurt in the end."

Su Ming'an smiled: "Are you really going to kill me?"

Jamel Xiao shook his head.

Seeing Su Ming'an in this posture, Xiao Jingsan suddenly lost his interest in playing cat and mouse. At the same time, a faint sadness surged into his heart. He didn't want to see Su Ming'an like this, sitting quietly under the peach blossom tree alone, twirling the peach blossom petals on his shoulders, as if he had been planning something with great expectations. He was obviously just a young man, but he seemed to have a huge mind for the world. This posture is too similar, and the temperament is too similar.

He didn't want to look.

I don’t want to remember either.

He was afraid that Su Ming'an would suddenly raise his head and ask him: "Xiao Jingsan, how old do I have to be before I can leave the palace? Can I see that day of peace and prosperity that the palace maid once said?"

He was afraid to see Su Ming lift his sleeves to reveal the deep and shallow knife marks on his arms. He was also afraid that Su Ming'an would suddenly change his face and ask him why he wanted to take away his identity, and why in order to awaken the alien king, he had to trample all the words he said as a child into ashes, causing him to be so humiliated.

fine,

Su Mingan would not be like this.

Xiao Jingsan turned around and took a cup of peach blossom wine and poured it for Su Ming'an to drink.

Su Mingan took the wine glass and smelled the aroma of peach blossom wine. He just held the wine glass and did not drink.

The tentacles constructed a second stool, and Xiao Jingsan sat next to Su Mingan, with the wooden sign jingling around his waist.

"I've been trying to awaken the alien king."

Su Mingan listened intently.

Xiao Jingsan said: "You must have guessed that I am not the Alien King himself, I am just a human being who has a close relationship with the Alien King. I shoulder the mission of awakening the Alien King. This is something I will work hard for my whole life, no matter what No matter what I face, this ideal cannot be shaken."

Su Mingan didn't ask why. It is nothing more than family inheritance, elders’ expectations, personal ideals and other reasons.

Xiao Jingsan said: "To awaken the alien king, you need to let it revive on a qualified donor. This requires three basic conditions: first, the donor must be a alien king. Second, the donor must recognize the alien king. Third, the donor must The body itself must also be very similar to the alien king."

Su Mingan said: "How long ago did the Alien King... fall asleep? What was the reason?"

Xiao Jingsan said: "Thousands of years ago. The reason is not yet known. It may be because of the end of life."

...thousands of years ago.

Su Mingan's ears twitched. Thousands of years ago was also the time when the gods usurped power and the old gods disappeared.

Xiao Jingsan said: "There is no problem with the first condition. There is no problem with the second condition. But the third condition: the donor itself must be very similar to the alien king back then, which makes me very embarrassed."

Su Ming listened quietly and folded the peach petals in his hand into the shape of a paper airplane.

Xiao Jingsan said: "Although there are only a few words in the myth about the alien king back then, I roughly know what kind of existence he was: black hair, black eyes, gentle and compassionate personality, and advocating ideals. So, I have been working hard. Cultivate a donor that meets these conditions for the alien king to resurrect."

Su Mingan said: "Is it you?"

Jamel Xiao perfectly meets this requirement of black hair and eyes.

Jamel Xiao shook his head.

Under Su Mingan's shocked gaze, Xiao Jamsan slowly spit out the answer:

"It's the entire Louyue royal family."

In an instant, Su Mingan's fingers shook, and the peach petals fell to the ground. He opened his eyes wide and was shocked speechless by the answer.

… It’s so bold, so ridiculous.

The entire Louyue royal family worshiped by thousands of people - are they all prepared donors for the alien king?

"Every generation of the royal family is a prepared donor for the alien king, although the royal family themselves do not know this." Xiao Jingsan said:

"Due to the royal bloodline and excellent education, the royal children will always have a similar appearance with black hair and black eyes, a gentle personality, and advocating ideals. But there is never one who is most like the alien king, and the alien king has never been able to meet the standards of Su Sheng. "

"In the previous generation of the royal family, I originally wanted to choose your father as a donor. He was once a child who advocated ideals. However, the cruelty of imperial power, the oppression of foreigners, and the temptation of wine and sex gradually made him a moderate and greedy person. As an adult, he is no longer worthy of becoming the donor of the alien king. I can only wait for his next generation."

"In this generation, your second brother is useless and submissive. Your third brother is addicted to drinking and sex, which is disappointing. Your sisters are too kind and have mismatched personalities. After thinking about it, you are the only one who is the most suitable. And it can be said that it is... very suitable."

Su Mingan suppressed his racing heart, and suddenly discovered something extremely absurd.

If the eldest prince was as stupid, greedy, and selfish as his younger brothers and sisters, he would not become the prepared donor for the alien king.

If the eldest prince had not become a donor, Xiao Jingsan would not have targeted the Louyue royal family of this generation, and would not have tempted the royal family to cruelly imprison the eldest prince and take his blood, waiting for Su Ming'an to come and break the situation.

Under the protection of Li Mingyue, none of the tragedies that happened to the eldest prince would actually happen.

Su Mingan stared into Xiao Jamel's eyes and said word by word:

"——So, the kindness, gentleness, benevolence, and compassion of the eldest prince, his love for the people, his longing for a peaceful and prosperous age, all the positive and beautiful things about him, all the respectable things about him, he All the shining points of humanity—but are they the source of his tragedy?”

If the eldest prince hadn't been so good, he wouldn't have been chosen as a donor, and he wouldn't have suffered such a tragedy.

Jamel Xiao lowered his head slightly.

A peach blossom petal fell on the curl of his hair, and then fell lightly down, never stopping.

Then, a low, roaring laughter flowed from his throat. The sound sounded like laughing, but also like crying.

"yes."

"That's it."

He covered his face, hiding all the expressions on his face.

"...So I told you earlier, Su Shaoqing, you shouldn't be such a good person."
