Chapter 57 Fish don't live long. Are you sure you choose me?

Jiang Yuan felt the giant octopus taking him out of the nest, and then to the bridge tunnel. The sound of flowing water under the bridge was getting farther and farther away from him.

But the giant octopus had no intention of letting him go.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Jiang Yuan finally spoke softly in the octopus's package:

"Xiao Yan? Are we safe now?"

The giant octopus's tentacles paused, and it quickly realized that Jiang Yuan might be uncomfortable being entangled in it, so it quickly put him down.

"It's safe, brother. We have left Summer City and are now on our way back to White City."

After the giant octopus released all its tentacles, Jiang Yuan could see clearly that there was an endless forest in front of him!

He and the giant octopus were standing on a narrow path at the moment!

There were trees dozens of meters high all around, and black forest trees in front. At first glance, there was nothing but black.

The wind makes the leaves rustle, and people will instinctively feel fear in this environment.

Jiang Yuan subconsciously grabbed the giant octopus's tentacles and held them tightly in his arms.

"Xiao, Xiao Yan, is this the way back to Baicheng?"

"Yes, brother. Don't be afraid. This is a small road. It only takes an hour to get back to White City from here."

Qi Yanxing pointed ahead and continued, "This is a mass grave. The mountain is full of graves. There are ghosts everywhere and no one dares to come here because of the haunted place. It's safe for us to take this road, brother."

After hearing what Qi Yanxing said, Jiang Yuan felt stars in his eyes.

He subconsciously tightened his octopus tentacles and his voice trembled.

"Xiao Yan, you consider that other people are afraid of this mountain, but have you ever thought that I, your brother, would also be afraid of it?"

The giant octopus suddenly turned back into a human, and its eyes fell firmly on Jiang Yuan.

He said word by word: "That's different. You have me by your side, so what are you afraid of?"

Jiang Yuan thought about it, then shook his head in denial.

"You don't even dare to go to the basement by yourself--"

Jiang Yuan's voice suddenly stopped!

Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Qi Yanxing in shock and astonishment!

"What's wrong, brother?" The smile on Qi Yanxing's lips froze.

He quietly put his hands behind his back and wiped the blood stains that had not been cleaned up.

Afraid that Jiang Yuan would find out the problem...

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuan suddenly rushed over and hugged him, crying!

Jiang Yuan rested her head on his chest and began to rub all her tears on him like a madman, howling loudly!

"It's all my fault. How could I be so careless and be kidnapped to Xiacheng? Xiaoyan had to walk alone to the mass grave in the middle of the night to save me!"

"Xiao Yan is a coward! Yet he came to save me from such a hellish place!"

"You really are! I'm crying! If you marry me, I'll marry you right here!"

Jiang Yuan's last sentence made Qi Yanxing's body start to tremble uncontrollably.

The monster is excited.

Just now, when he was quietly dealing with those beggars under the bridge, he faintly heard the conversation between Jiang Yuan and the voice from last time in the nest.

That voice made Jiang Yuan kill him.

And Jiang Yuan chose to protect him.

He had lived two lives, and was always abandoned. No one had ever firmly chosen to stay with him.

But now, there actually is someone who does not despise him and chooses to stay with him without any scruples!

"Brother, is everything you said true?"

Qi Yanxing held Jiang Yuan's hands with trembling hands. He bent his body and looked at Jiang Yuan affectionately.

".......Brother, I'm going to ask you one last time, are you serious about marrying me?"

An open yet enclosed space within the grove.

There are only two of them here.

Jiang Yuan felt a little embarrassed when Qi Yanxing suddenly spoke to him so seriously.

"......You have asked me this question so many times. Of course it is true. Who would joke about their lifelong event?"

Jiang Yuan looked at him, and then avoided his eyes.

The monster's big hand turned his head over, forcing Jiang Yuan to look directly at itself.

At this moment, the monster's vertical pupils were as black as ink, staring directly at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan looked at him for only two seconds before looking away.

Jiang Yuan always felt that Qi Yanxing's eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts and strike directly into their souls, making him feel a little bit scared.

Qi Yanxing turned his head again and said seriously, "Brother, this is really the last time I will ask you this."

"If you are sure you want to marry me, I will officially start pursuing you. I won't stop, so please confirm again."

"Of course, I would rather you come back with me first and live with me for a while so that you can understand what kind of person I am and whether you can accept me. If you can, it's not too late for us to start over."

"There were many people who said the same thing to me before, but later, after they understood the real me, they all chose to withdraw."

"I can feel that my brother is different from them, but I am just as scared."

"Octopuses don't live long. I also want to have a warm home and not fall into hell."

"If Brother can't stay with me forever, and chooses to escape after knowing the real me like them, I——"

Qi Yanxing endured the discomfort and turned his eyes away from Jiang Yuan, "Even if I don't hurt you, I will go crazy."

"I will not abandon you! Absolutely not!" This time it was Jiang Yuan's turn to hold Qi Yanxing's cheeks with both hands.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan's face was more determined than ever before, and besides the determination there was also some pain.

"What about you? You were serious when you said octopuses don't live long!"

Qi Yanxing didn't expect that he would agree so readily, and there was a moment of confusion on his face.

The little monster lowered his eyes and nodded heavily.

"Octopus monsters will accelerate their death after reaching adulthood, which only takes a few years."

Jiang Yuan immediately questioned: "Then how come your parents are still alive! Don't joke with me like that!"

Qi Yanxing smiled bitterly, "They used some despicable means, and now they have become neither human nor ghost, neither human nor monster, very scary."

"Brother, I don't want to live in that form—"

The monster's expression gradually became serious.

Jiang Yuan pinched his cheek like a madman!

"No!! You must live! Live well! I don't want to be a widow to you!"
