Chapter 353 is simply illogical.

After saying that, Mandora glared at Pang Zun. What kind of time is this to be shouting and yelling like this? It hurts people's ears. There's a reason why Fairy of Light didn't choose Pang Zun.

Wenxi was somewhat surprised to hear Mandora speak up, since according to the original plot, Mandora would not have spoken up and would have been eager to see the Lingxi Pavilion in internal strife.

It seems the Ice Princess didn't come, and the butterfly effect has already begun. I just don't know how the outcome will differ from the previous life.

Mandora: "I don't have time to listen to your arguing, Princess Ling. Let's get on with our business!"

Princess Ling: "I can agree to revive Fairy Xinling, but I disagree with your offer of using those innocent human warriors as leverage!"

The power needed to revive Xinling is not small, and besides, no one would be willing to just waste the immortal power they have worked so hard to cultivate. So Mandora came up with a way to steal the bamboo shoot.

That is to use Wang Mo and the others in the Floating Cloud Tower in the gem box in her hand as puppets, using their power, and if that's not enough, using all their life force as well.

It doesn't matter if she dies, since Mandora's goal is simple: to revive Xinling. As for the others, they are none of her concern.

Mandora: "Innocent?"

Mandora smiled, silently clenching the jewel box in her hand.

Mandora: "Princess Ling, are you still so stubborn?"

Mandora: "The reason Fairyland has become like this is because of humans; they are not innocent at all!"

Princess Ling: "I believe in humanity; they will definitely change!"

Princess Ling: "Princess Ice must have extended the blizzard because she trusted humans, giving them one last chance!"

Tsk, Wen Qian originally just wanted to watch the show, but since Princess Ling brought up Princess Bing, she couldn't bury her head in the sand anymore. She pulled Yan Jue's hand away and looked up.

Wenxi: "Princess Ling, I think you've misunderstood something."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned to look at them.

Princess Ling: "What?"

Wenxi: "The Ice Princess didn't trust humans; she did this simply because she didn't want everything to be beyond repair."

Wenxi: "The kind little princess, despite her own circumstances, still chose to give humanity one last chance."

The meaning is very clear.

Humans don't have that much clout to convince the Ice Princess that she would do this without doing anything. There are two reasons for this.

First, she didn't want her hands covered in blood; second, it was a gamble.

Human hearts are unpredictable, and no one can guarantee what will happen in the future. However, Wenxi chose to take this gamble, just for the sake of the last remaining light of kindness in the human world. Princess Bing was moved by this and decided to take the gamble with Wenxi.

After hearing Wenxi's words, there was a moment of silence, then Mandora burst into laughter, her tone full of sarcasm.

Mandora: "Hahaha..."

Mandora: "I knew the Ice Princess wouldn't trust humans so easily..."

Mandora: "So all of this was just your wishful thinking, Princess Ling."

Princess Ling: "How could this be..."

Pang Zun: "Tch, how could those humans change? They'll probably only get worse!"

Princess Ling: "Humans will change! I believe in them!"

Another character led by the nose by her persona. Wenxi couldn't help but sigh, yet also found it somewhat amusing. As the mother of life, Princess Ling was kind and cherished life, which was all normal.

However, it is illogical to believe in humans without any basis, even ignoring the tragic state of the fairyland.
