When he was a child, Xingchen had a secret - his shadow could talk.
The shadow is called Yi Xingchen. At first, it only appeared in places with light.
When Yi Xingchen stood up, he looked like a little Xingchen whose body was all black.
At first, Xing Chen was afraid of this strange thing that always lay on the ground in darkness and would occasionally say a word or two to scare him.
But later...
When the strong stepbrother pushed Xingchen into the pool, a pair of dark hands quietly lifted him up from the cold pool and brought him to the housekeeper.
When he ate the peanut porridge made by the servant and was burning all over, lying on the small bed struggling, a dark foot kicked open the door, and a voice exactly like his called the housekeeper for him.
When he was locked in the dark storage room, it was the dark shadow that slipped out from the crack in the door, opened the door for him, and carried him back to the house.
Later...
When the first reborn enemy slashed at Xing Chun with a knife, Shadow suddenly stood up.
Yi Xingchen, who is the same size as Xingxuan, seems to be as thin as Xingxuan.
But the difference was that Yi Xingchen easily held the knife that Xingxun's weak body could not bear with one hand. He even twisted the blade around and inserted it into the heart of the reborn person with his backhand.
Yi Xingchen tried out his pitch-black "new body" with great interest. He picked up Xingxun and rubbed his face against his. He didn't forget to take a deep sip of Xingxun's baby, leaving a red mark on Xingxun's snow-white face.
Xiao Xingchen, who should have turned black in advance at this point, stared blankly at the still dark shadow with a cute red mark on his face.
For a long time, Xingchen silently stretched out his arms, hugged Yi Xingchen's neck, and secretly buried his face, hiding his red eyes.
The best swordsman in the world who came from ancient times, a young man who is free and unrestrained in attacking.
Because being too obedient always doesn't look like Long Aotian, a well-behaved beauty cub in childhood, a shy adult beauty, a man-eating flower who can actually kill his enemies by flapping his wings.
Gong had the appearance of a black shadow when he was a child, and Shou had wings after awakening from the Yu tribe. They have looked exactly the same since childhood. The difference is that Gong is a swordsman in black with a tall ponytail and does not look like an interstellar person.
