Chapter 127 I witnessed her demise at the end of time.
"This……"
As the mother of all living beings, Hua Ling frowned, hesitated for a while, and still felt it was inappropriate.
Before she could refute, Li Hui suddenly spoke up, "She came to see me yesterday and asked me about the future direction of the world... She said that nature is lamenting."
Looking up at the crowd who were suddenly staring at him, Li Hui continued expressionlessly, "She's afraid of disappearing."
Huo Liaoye finally calmed down and frowned, as if he could trap a fly. "Sometimes she would inexplicably develop wounds on her body."
Everyone's faces fell.
“I saw it,” Shi Xi suddenly said.
She spoke slowly and deliberately, as if she were squeezing the words out of her throat with great effort.
"She disappeared."
Shi Xi ran her fingers along the patterns on the pocket watch at her waist and said softly, "I have never been able to foresee her future. Her time has always been shrouded in mist, and I have never been able to see it clearly."
She lowered her eyes, her mind uncontrollably replaying yesterday's events.
The night sky was as dark as ink, dotted with countless stars. The person's smile was bright, yet it shattered amidst the haze. Red light filled the sky, and finally, it gradually dissipated in a huge, dazzling firework that illuminated the entire starry sky.
Not even a splash was made; it was completely silent.
How could that be?
Those vibrant people, always so energetic and lively, how could they have dispersed so carelessly?
—Not a single word was left behind.
Shi Xi unconsciously tightened her grip, turning her already bloodless fingertips completely white, and her voice trembled slightly.
"Yesterday, at the end of time, I witnessed her demise."
After these words were spoken, there was complete silence.
After a long silence, Shui Qingli spoke, her eyes fixed on Shi Xi like everyone else's. Her throat was dry, and her usually calm and indifferent voice was now terribly hoarse.
"I hope you're joking."
Shi Xi remained silent. "I hope so too."
Silence again.
After an unknown amount of time, Hua Ling's pretty face turned deathly pale, and the soft light in her eyes was quietly swallowed by the cold silence. She was unaware of this, but her hands were tightly gripping the hem of her skirt, trembling incessantly.
She raised her head, looking directly at Bing Lixue, her voice broken.
"Then so be it."
……
Lost in thought, everyone suddenly came back to their senses.
Du Xifei brandished her pipe and suddenly burst out laughing, "See, I told you I couldn't fool her."
Hua Ling tucked a stray hair behind her ear and said gently, "I know, but they want to give it a try."
Pang Zun said in a very irritating way, "What if we manage to fool them?"
Yan Xi: ...
"We heard you were injured. We were worried that something might have happened to you, and we were also afraid that you were hiding something, so we came together to check on you."
Shui Qingli looked at Yan Xi, her voice not loud, but clear enough for everyone to hear.
"Sorry," Li Hui said after a moment's hesitation.
Yan Jue tapped his head with his fan, then touched his eyes, which he had covered with his immortal power but still felt a little sore. He coughed lightly, "Cough, I was just worried about you."
Huo Liaoye had changed into a white robe with red patterns, the deep V-neck plunging to her waist. Her long flaxen hair was styled in a slicked-back updo, and she wore a thin gray string with beads on her forehead.
He had the same imposing presence as a wolf king emerging from the desert; to be honest, he was much more handsome than before.
He sat there casually, looking arrogant and domineering. "I'm laying my cards on the table, I've already said it."
Shi Xi smiled faintly, "The law does not punish the masses."
Seeing this group of people suddenly start frantically taking responsibility for themselves again, Yan Xi was completely bewildered and said she didn't quite understand.
"And what about you?" Yan Xi turned her gaze to Bai Guangying, who seemed aloof from the world.
She was still leaning against the pillar, her fair fingers twirling her long golden hair, her red lips slightly pursed, her expression unreadable.
Sensing something amiss with her aura, Yan Xi released a wisp of immortal power, circling around Bai Guangying. To her surprise, she discovered that the girl was still on the threshold of becoming a Saint-level fairy, just one step away from completely joining the ranks of Saint-level fairies.
That kick is still fresh in my mind.
"Me?" Bai Guangying loosened her hair, subconsciously straightened up, glanced at Pang Zun, and then rolled her eyes.
“The Thunder Lord destroyed my slumbering place a few days ago, and also destroyed a forest. He hasn’t found a new place to seclude himself yet. Yesterday, during my free time, I heard that someone was coming to your Flower Festival, so I came along.”
Bai Guangying then changed the subject, "I wonder if Your Majesty would allow me to slumber for a while during this Flower Festival?"
"Well... it's not that it's impossible?" Yan Xi scratched her hair, realizing she had just gotten herself into trouble. She rolled her eyes and tried to change the subject.
Her gaze swept around the room, finally settling on the little girl who was still dozing off.
"And what about her? The child was so tired, why did you drag her over?"
Princess Aizhen is the youngest of the Saint-level fairies and the most beloved child besides Yan Xi. She is so adorable that even someone like Yan Xi sometimes feels a surge of maternal love.
(OS: I don't know if taking the child out to play with cats and dogs every day counts as maternal love.)
"Who forced her? This girl clearly insisted on coming herself," Du Xifei retorted, dissatisfied.
"She's just having a temporary episode of narcolepsy and won't leave," Li Hui explained, glancing to the side.
"Ah... I'm so sleepy, I guess I'll go back to sleep."
Yan Xi blinked, waved her sleeve, and the dozing little girl disappeared from the spot.
—Shouldn't that have gotten away with it?
The remaining people exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief.
Before he could catch his breath, he heard the man lazily utter three sentences:
"Have all the remaining great fairies from the fairy realm arrived?"
"Wait a minute... no, that's not right."
"Meng Yi is sealed away, Mandora is in Yan Hua Mirror Palace... then what about my Jingjing?"
Everyone froze, hearing the man's question in confusion.
"Why didn't Jingjing come with us? Since you came as a group, why didn't you invite Jingjing?"
……
The night was as black as ink, and thick clouds covered the sky, obscuring not a single star.
Suddenly, blue specks of light appeared in the sky, increasing in number and becoming clearer as they fell—it was snow.
On the way home, countless people looked up and reached out to catch the falling snowflakes. It's only October, why is it snowing?
But no one saw that an ice lotus, along with the snowflakes, drifted down and flew towards some part of the city.
Ice Lotus stopped outside a window of an ordinary, even old, residential building.
Bing Lixue raised her hand, facing the window, about to release her immortal power to pull the person inside out, but then hesitated and lowered her hand.
Although she arrived silently, she still alerted the people inside.
Just as she stopped, a red figure jumped out of the window of the next room, a tarot card flew out of its hand, and a stone tower appeared out of thin air.
Zina stood on the stone tower, the "Death God" card tucked between her fingers, watching the newcomer with a wary expression.
"Who are you? What do you want?!"
“Artificial fairy…you are the fake fairy who tricked Mandora…”
Bing Lixue instantly recognized Fei Ling's identity, glanced at her and Qi Na, and after a moment, let out a soft chuckle, her expression unreadable.
"Heh, she still has the power of a thousand years within her body, she's quite generous."
She lowered her eyes and sighed softly, "Fine, since she went to so much trouble to rescue them, it would be disrespectful for me to send them back. Fine..."
What? The power of a thousand years?
What rescue? What is this person saying?
Seeing that the other party had no intention of attacking, Qi Na and Fei Ling exchanged a glance, both puzzled.
Bing Lixue didn't have the time to play the good Samaritan with them; she just mentioned it casually.
"If you want to advance to become a Great Fairy or even a Saint-level Fairy... Xinling knows where to send you."
After saying that, she manipulated the ice lotus to change direction and headed towards the horizon.
