Fortunately, spring arrived

Chapter Thirty-Six

After that great battle three hundred years ago, Fengxian City was completely destroyed.

After she became possessed by a demon, her body could not withstand such great power and she almost exploded and died. Unexpectedly, the Hunyuan Pearl sealed in Bu Ran Shuang saved her life again.

She lost consciousness and fell from the sky, vaguely hearing him speak in her ear.

"Master, wait for me to come back."

She was unconscious for seven days and seven nights. When she woke up, she found her master and fellow disciples anxiously guarding her bedside. She also saw her old friends. She was surprised that they had all come, and none of them were missing.

However, she had no interest in catching up with them.

During the seven days she was in a coma, she actually saw the white-robed youth that she had met with Song Ling in the library in her own consciousness space, and also learned the whole story of Song Ling's plan.

It calls itself 611.

This doesn't sound like a person's name at all.

It said that this was the name Song Ling gave it, and that it was also a system, but stronger than her previous system.

Her rebirth also had a system. 611 said that Heaven would not give up any opportunity to kill Song Ling until, according to the rules written, he died at the hands of someone else.

But in reality, he should have died at the hands of the male protagonist. However, no matter which parallel world Song Ling was in, the final result was always that he died by his own hand, not by anyone else's sword, and sometimes he didn't even reach that destined end.

Heaven will not tolerate his defiant actions.

Before her, the Heavenly Dao had also summoned many wandering souls from other worlds, using the pretext of completing a mission to make them do whatever it takes to kill Song Ling, but without exception, not a single one succeeded.

Her arrival clearly changed everything.

However, the difference is...

Her choice was Song Ling.

Half of her soul was lost, and she was severely injured. Even if the other half of her soul were to awaken, it would take a very long time. There are countless parallel worlds, and it is unknown in which parallel line she will be reborn.

Therefore, Song Ling could only search for her by constantly going back in time.

Later, they finally found the parallel line where she was. However, if they went back to the past, there were two of them. The one who was there was the one who hadn't yet realized how important his master was.

Without hesitation, Song Ling killed that version of herself, took "him"'s place, and stayed by her master's side until she, on this parallel path, committed suicide again.

Because her mind was unstable, she could not be found every time she was resurrected.

Song Ling went back in time 611 times, but it took her a full 6,111 years to find her.

So is that why the system is called 611?

611 said that at Song Ling's behest, at the moment of her rebirth, it devoured its system, binding the task of killing Song Ling to it. In other words, it was actually a system belonging to both of them, but since its cultivation was above hers, its authority was not as high as hers, so she would not know any of this.

Song Ling's scheme was designed to keep her out of all this trouble. He would pave the way for her, triggering all the necessary plot points, and ultimately orchestrate this scenario that would kill him.

Song Ling did indeed succeed; from her perspective, she was completely unaware of everything he had done for her.

He did indeed deceive her perfectly, without any flaws.

This is a dead end tailor-made for him.

Unable to bear seeing her struggle with the decision, he took it upon himself to make the decision for her.

He's too ruthless.

Xie Yuan felt more exhausted than ever before.

In fact, the moment he opened his eyes, she heard the notification sound in her mind that the mission was complete.

She just couldn't believe it.

He would do something so ruthless.

——

Not long after Xie Yuan recovered from her illness, she bid farewell to her master, senior brothers, and old friends.

She couldn't stay in one place for long, because once she stopped, she would think of everything related to Song Ling.

She thought that falling into demonic possession would severely damage her vitality and impair her cultivation level, but when she woke up, she found that she had already entered the Divine Abyss Mirror, and the Primordial Pearl had completely dissipated.

Did he even think of this step?

It's him after all.

Xie Yuan's smile was tinged with bitterness.

In 6,111 years, she couldn't imagine how much perseverance it would take for someone to go to such lengths for another person.

She originally thought he simply relied on her as his master, but she never expected that he had already stood on his own when she was not around, and had risked his life for her time and time again.

——

Three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the years, Xie Yuan has traveled to many places alone, but she has not become depressed. She just feels that something is missing from her life. Every three years, she returns to Jingyu Manor, and in every city she visits, she seeks out old friends for a drink.

She seems to have changed, yet she seems to have remained the same.

She has already entered the ranks of the immortals, and her beauty remains undiminished.

But her old friends have aged visibly, after all, they are at different levels of understanding.

Over the course of three hundred years, her four closest friends passed away one after another.

But the person she was waiting for had not yet returned.

——

This year marks the 300th anniversary of his passing.

Xie Yuan now lives on Luoqi Mountain, the place they used to live together. If he comes back, he'll probably go there to find her first.

It was the seventh day of the third lunar month, the Qingming Festival, and a light rain was falling on the streets as pedestrians hurried by.

Xie Yuan returned to Ancheng and, as usual, sat in her favorite spot, drinking tea and listening to the storyteller's ramblings.

Three hundred years later, her storybooks are still incredibly popular.

The phrase "I would rather betray the world than betray him" did indeed come from her mouth.

As Ji Junlin lay dying, he asked her a question filled with resentment: "I am the one destined by Heaven, the savior of the world, so why are you so stubbornly unrepentant!"

That was her answer to him.

What does fate have to do with her?

Simply because that person was Song Ling.

Xie Yuan held up an oil-paper umbrella and walked towards Jingyu Manor.

She held her umbrella a little low, obstructing her view. Just then, someone dressed in red, just like her, walked towards her. She didn't see him, but as they were about to pass each other, she subconsciously raised her umbrella.

A pair of familiar and beautiful peach blossom eyes, filled with a smile, suddenly caught her eye.

"I've found you, Master."

The young man in red was just as he had been when she first saw him after her rebirth.

But compared to that time, he is now more vibrant and alive, and his eyes are no longer cold and desolate.

Xie Yuan's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Three hundred years of waiting finally found meaning at this moment.

The oil-paper umbrella fell to the ground.

She threw herself into his arms.

"Ah Ling, you're finally back."

"Yes, Master, I'm back."

Song Ling caught her steadily and gently wiped away the tears of the girl who was crying tears of joy. For three hundred years, he had been waiting for this day when they would reunite.

This time, they will never be apart again.

“Master, you see, I didn’t lie to you.”
