Chapter 289 Chapter 289 Rebirth.

289

Li Xiaoqi sat on the tombstone, his legs crossed, his right elbow resting on his knee, his palm supporting his chin, and he sighed as he looked at Mondstadt in the distance.

"Why don't you give me a body like before? Isn't it always a physical body when traveling through time?"

Although people should not be too greedy, Li Xiaoqi always felt that his current state was definitely the system's evil taste.

I don't know what the hell it's doing.

system!

system--

Li Xiaoqi called out to the system in his mind, but no matter how many times he called, the system did not respond.

"As if you've accomplished your mission and are just going to leave it alone?"

She said angrily.

The sound of wind blowing through the leaves rustled. Li Xiaoqi looked up. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the branches of the trees, and a circular spot of light fell on the tombstone.

The huge tree is like a giant umbrella, covering the grassland.

She looked at the statue of the Seven Heavenly Gods beside her, standing majestically, and the blue beams of light wrapped around the statue extended to the sky.

Her tombstone was just two or three steps in front of the statue. Li Xiaoqi shook his head repeatedly and said, "System, isn't it inappropriate to put the tombstone here?"

"How offensive..."

Just as Li Xiaoqi was chattering, the sound of an organ came from the tree.

The melodious and cheerful music reached my ears, and I could see a young man sitting on a thick branch.

Li Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled happily.

“Master—”

She waved, trying to get Barbatos' attention.

Li Xiaoqi was a little scared that Barbatos would be unable to see him just like the ghost.

The piano music stopped, Barbatos curled up the corners of his lips, and flew down from the branch.

"Cecilia."

He glanced at Li Xiaoqi, a flicker of understanding in his eyes, and said with a smile, "It seems the journey to the other world is over."

"Um!"

Li Xiaoqi nodded, looked at Barbatos' face, and suddenly felt a sense of loss.

"That's right, it turns out I died very early."

Barbatos responded softly, raising his hand to lightly touch her cheek.

Li Xiaoqi looked into Barbatos' eyes, and recalled the conversation between Barbatos and Zhongli when they entered the illusion created by the mind-invading virus and the 'book' through the Eye of God to help her, and when they left.

——"Xiao Qi's body can't bear such an overdraw of strength now."

——"I don't know if she will come back to Teyvat."

——"It all depends on her choice."

And the hallucinatory Barbatos seen in Tomoeda Town.

——"Where are you going back to? Do you still remember what your parents look like?"

Li Xiaoqi withdrew from his deep thoughts and asked softly, "Master, did you know this a long time ago?"

Barbatos opened his lips slightly, a smile in his eyes.

"Yes."

Li Xiaoqi smiled helplessly and said, "I thought it was the system's fault."

Barbatos lowered his eyes to glance at the tombstone, a pale green light gathered in his left hand, and a white Cecilia flower emerged. At the same time, his right hand placed the Seven Days Statue on him.

In an instant, the statue burst into dazzling light, and the Cecilia flower gradually melted into Li Xiaoqi's heart.

Li Xiaoqi was bathed in the light, his translucent body gradually sank, his feet stepped on the grass, and the emerald green grass was bent down.

She watched in amazement as her body transformed into a solid form, her limbs warm and her cheeks soft, just as it had felt when she was alive.

"Is it still possible?"

Barbatos widened his smile, the sunlight illuminated his face, he raised his hand, spread his five fingers, and a green eye of God appeared in his palm.

"Your Eye of God."

Li Xiaoqi blinked slowly and said, "Didn't my Eye of God lose its power when we were in the other world?"

Barbatos chuckled softly and put the Eye of God into Li Xiaoqi's hand.

The moment Li Xiaoqi touched the Eye of God, the white dress on her body changed into a light yellow strapless long dress. The long dress that reached the ground was covered with layers of tulle, and the hem of the skirt covered the small flowers on the grass. The flowing flared sleeves had cuffs like petals, trembling gently with her movements.

The green shawl hanging from her arm fluttered in the wind, and the sunlight fell on the Cecilia flower on her chest, and the hidden gold thread reflected a faint light.

Her long black hair was braided into two full pigtails and placed on her chest. A light blue headband was wrapped around her hair, and a few small flowers were dotted in her hair.

She lowered her eyes to look at the familiar clothes on her body, and her nervous mood completely relaxed.

Li Xiaoqi took a deep breath and tried to mobilize the elemental power in his body. He was surprised to find that the elemental power of wind had not disappeared.

"You are my disciple, how come you don't have the protection of the Wind God?"

Barbatos teased.

Li Xiaoqi scratched his cheek embarrassedly, "I feel like I'm causing Master a lot of worry."

"Of course."

"When I first saw you under this tree, you were also in this translucent spirit form."

Barbatos fell into memories, speaking slowly with the sound of the wind.

"So I infused the power of the gods into a Cecilia flower, and then merged it into your soul, so the flower became the carrier of your soul."

"So, your spirit contains some of my power. Even if you lose your body, I can forge it for you again."

"Why are you helping me so much?"

Li Xiaoqi was slightly startled, and then he bumped into the gentle world in Barbatos' eyes, and asked unconsciously.

Barbatos simply chuckled softly and said, "Since you landed where the wind rises, and I happened to be right under this tree, it means we were meant to meet."

Li Xiaoqi looked at the smile on Barbatos' face, with a thousand words stuck in his heart, but he didn't know how to express them.

"Let's go home."

Barbatos took Li Xiaoqi's hand and walked towards the wooden house they built.

Li Xiaoqi stared at Barbatos's not-so-tall back in a daze. She followed his steps with a bright smile, walked out of the shadow of the big tree and bathed in the sunshine.

"Master is indeed the most gentle god in the world."

"Oh? I'm really embarrassed to hear you praise me like that."

Barbatos's chuckle echoed in the air, flowers and plants swayed in the wind, and birds spread their wings and flew towards the bustling Mondstadt.

"ah……"

Li Xiaoqi suddenly stopped and looked at the ring finger of his left hand, and found that the ring had disappeared without a trace.

"What's wrong?"

Barbatos asked.

She pursed her lips and shook her head slightly.

"There's something important that I couldn't bring with me."

Barbatos saw Li Xiaoqi's lost face reflected in his eyes and said, "Cecilia, you have to believe that when the time comes, you will find it naturally."

A smile appeared on Li Xiaoqi's face again, but the corners of his lips that he forced up did not show the happy and joyful curve as before.

"I hope so."

Port mafia, leader's office.

The sunlight slanted into the room, illuminating the dark red carpet.

Dazai Osamu sat at his desk, the intersection of light and shadow fell on him, the shadow of the window pane was imprinted on his face, lengthening the reflection of his eyelashes.

He looked at the golden ring on his ring finger and stopped writing.

Dazai Osamu looked stunned and began to daze.

Since Li Xiaoqi left, life has returned to normal. He is still the leader of the port mafia, making boring decisions mechanically every day.

Dazai Osamu put down his pen, turned on his computer, and the game logo on the desktop disappeared that day.

After leaving the mafia, Gin was eventually found by Ryunosuke Akutagawa and brought back to the detective agency, where he learned to be a barista from the owner of the coffee shop downstairs from the agency.

Chuuya Nakahara and the other cadres were busy dealing with the invasion of the Millefiore family, and the situation was quickly calmed down by joining forces with the Vongola.

The boss of that family, Bai Lan, fell into an unknown coma, so someone in the family took the opportunity to rebel, causing unrest in the underground world.

Blanjeso is the owner of the Marley Ring. The reason for his coma seems to be the impact of the world merger. He just woke up not long ago.

Today, this dark world is just like the streets, much calmer than before.

Perhaps the world line has changed, and those major events that should have happened did not happen.

Dazai Osamu opened the drawer, took out a black rubber band and put it on his wrist.

On the table, a letter of appointment shimmered in the sunlight.

He walked out of the office and went up the stairs to the rooftop.

There were soft footsteps on the rooftop, and Dazai Osamu stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking at the street below.

"What to do, there are no regrets in this world."

"Odasaku is living a good life over there, it's not good for me to always disturb him."

He whispered softly.

Dazai Osamu raised his head and looked at the blue sky. "Xiao Qi, if I jump down, will you come to catch me?"

"bite--"

A small circular circle suddenly appeared in the air.

It fell quickly, and the metal surface reflected a dazzling light.

Dazai Osamu reached out to catch the fallen object, and when he looked closely, he saw that it was a pair of rings in his hand.

Suddenly, he remembered what Li Xiaoqi had said and subconsciously retreated from the edge of the rooftop.

Soon, Dazai Osamu's expression changed.

"How did Xiao Qi's ring appear?"

His voice echoed from the rooftop, with only the wind responding.

Dazai Osamu turned and ran downstairs, rushed into the office and opened the drawer.

The Wind Elemental God's Eye and the Rock Elemental God's Eye, which had turned gray, lay in the middle of the drawer. They were left by Sakata Gintoki at the Yorozuya Office.

Suddenly, the two divine eyes glowed, forming a wind field in an instant.

The documents on the table were picked up by the wind and swirled towards the ceiling.

Dazai Osamu opened his eyes wide, held the ring tightly, the wind field wrapped around the center, and his body gradually floated up.

The next second, his figure disappeared in the office.

After a while, Nakahara Chuuya, who came to report, knocked on the door a few times. When there was no response, he pushed the door open and saw the mess in the house. His brows frowned slightly.

"What is that guy doing again?"

The guard waiting at the door shook his head slightly and said, "The boss went up to the rooftop and then came back in a hurry."

"ha?"

Nakahara Chuuya took a step forward and a subtle sound was heard.

He lowered his eyes and stepped on a piece of paper with a gold outline.

Nakahara Chuuya picked it up and found that it was an appointment letter for the replacement of the leader.

That bastard actually gave up the position of leader to him all of a sudden???

"Are you kidding me—Dazai, get out here!"

Nakahara Chuuya's furious voice echoed in the office, but no one responded no matter how much he shouted.
