Chapter 127 Portrait Painting

"Hurley...Vell?"

The girl frowned and looked at Shen Bai without blinking:

"Are you kidding me? This Ta Ma has the surname of Emperor? This is simply a woman's name!"

Shen Bai was so frightened that he almost spit out his saliva, and his hands were trembling a little.

But he knew that at this moment, the most important thing was to stay calm.

——And this is one of Sister Mao'er's aliases in the past endless years. How could there be no explanation at all?

Therefore, before Shen Bai could get mad at the girl, he struck first. He jumped up suddenly, his face gloomy, as if he might fall out at any time:

"What are you talking about? How can our imperial clan make fun of our own imperial surname? Even if my ancestors who died fighting for our clan are resurrected from the endless abyss, I will hold my chest high and say this proudly , I, Helivier Bai, can change my name or my surname, no matter what!"

"Hey, hey, don't get excited..."

The girl shrank her neck and touched the back of her head with a smile.

Among the aberrations, doubting [Emperor's surname] is ten thousand times more serious than cuckolding. It is equivalent to digging up your ancestral grave, stealing the ashes, coating them in egg liquid, adding bread crumbs, and frying them until golden and crispy. Finally, I will serve you breakfast with a smile...

The girl felt that her words were indeed too thoughtless. The young fellow opposite did not take action immediately, and he was already too good-tempered to be "cowardly".

But... I have never heard of the imperial surname "Helliwell"?

Seeing the girl's confused look, Shen Bai coughed and sighed:

"Oh, it's normal that you don't know. We haven't gone out for a long time. The world has long forgotten our legend, but if you think about it carefully, think deeper! The one from a long, long time ago..."

The girl's pupils shrank suddenly.

She remembered!

When she was very young, she had not yet learned to speak or walk. Her grandfather, who was about to reach the end of his life, loved to hold herself and talk to her.

At that time, her family was still very powerful. Her grandfather had fought all his life and lived for more than two thousand years. She was already a little confused. Moreover, she was too young at the time and could not remember what her grandfather said.

But until now, the girl still vaguely remembers that on a sunny afternoon, her grandfather excitedly mentioned the only experience of going to the "ancestral court" in his life.

Grandpa Zu said that the ancestral court was very big and there were many strange things. He kowtowed there for hundreds of years, and finally moved the clan elders to allow him to go to the main hall to worship.

The worship time was very short. The leader of a line of imperial clan, who had prayed devoutly for a hundred years, was only allowed to enter the main hall for ten seconds.

Grandpa Ancestor said that in those ten seconds, he quickly worshiped the ten ancestors of the Imperial Clan, one person per second, which is a etiquette that has been passed down for countless years.

However, Grandpa Zu was young and vigorous at that time, and developed an arrogant character due to his glorious achievements in repeated battles. He finished ahead of schedule and looked around the main hall curiously.

In that short moment, he saw a strange sight that he would never forget in his life.

On the dome of the glorious main hall, there are four huge oil paintings.

One is a copy of the bright starry sky, another is a strange black boulder, and the other is a depiction of a tragic war.

The last one is a portrait of a young girl.

Her name is engraved in the corner.

Hellewell.

What this girl looked like, my grandfather, who was confused in his old age, could no longer describe it. He just said, "She is very beautiful, very beautiful."

The girl never believed the nonsense that her grandfather told her before her death. She only thought that it was the outbreak of hidden wounds caused by her grandfather's thousand-year campaign, and she could no longer control her brain.

——In the Ten Thousand Souls Hall where the imperial clan pays homage to their ancestors, how come there are portraits placed above the ancestors?

The starry sky, boulders, and war are somewhat possible, but how can a beautiful girl be carved on the dome, overlooking the imperial clan for thousands of years?

If Shen Bai hadn't said "Helliwell" today, the abnormal girl might never have remembered this detail in her life.

But now that she remembered it, she no longer dared to sit in front of Shen Bai in such a grand manner.

The deformed girl hurriedly stood up, swallowed, and whispered:

"Before I was deprived of my imperial surname, my surname was [Wujiang] and my first name was Wujiangxun."

"Well..." Shen Bai looked at the girl's appearance and felt happy:

I casually mentioned Sister Mao'er's pseudonym, and it was actually fooled? Tsk tsk...

However, he has not forgotten what he said before, "I have already heard the name of the girl's brother like a thunderbolt." Naturally, he cannot show surprise at this time, so he continued:

"It doesn't have to be like this. We are both members of the Imperial Clan. We are a family. Why should we be strict about etiquette?"

"You are right, Brother Bai!"

Wujiang Xun smiled flatteringly and said:

"Although they have been hostile to humans for many years, some of their ideas are still very good. For example, the four words "same roots, same species" firmly tie ordinary warriors and apocalypse people in the same boat. I have to admire them."

"Miss Xun, what you said makes sense."

Shen Bai knew that he was no longer in danger for the time being, so he looked around and continued to explore the secrets of the aberrations.

——By the way, judge whether you are still human or not.

"Miss Xun, I'm sorry, I kept thinking about wanting to see the real battlefield at home, so I ran out without permission without eating. Take a look..."

"Oh, we have this!"

Wujiang Xun patted his small chest, took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket, peeled it open layer by layer, with a blushing face, handed the biscuits inside to Shen Bai:

"Here you go, Brother Bai... there's only such a small piece left, don't dislike it."

Shen Bai looked at the small tooth marks on the biscuits, then glanced at Wujiang Xun's slightly pained expression, and a strange thought arose in his heart:

These days, the mutants don’t have enough food left.

He took the cookie, smelled it, and said with his usual expression:

"Why does it taste so bland?"

Shen Bai shook his head, returned the human biscuits to Wujiang Xun, and said with a smile:

"Forget it, Miss Xun, a gentleman won't take advantage of others, just kill two mutated beasts for me and let them simmer over low heat. I have a bad appetite and like to drink soup."

"okay!"

Wujiangxun was so happy that he quickly wrapped the biscuits with a handkerchief and ran out.

Shen Bai was the only one left in the cave.

He frowned and began to think.

The moment he smelled the human biscuit, he had no desire to eat it.

This shows that he only possesses two of the three most common characteristics of aberrations.

Of course, it is also possible that Shen Bai has never eaten human flesh and has not yet opened the door to this new world...
