How did the door open?
Zhao Xi wanted to jump off the tiger, but he stepped through the gate with suspicion. Peeking inside, he discovered that the garden corridor and the little fairy's house had both disappeared.
The mountain path winds its way through the area, with unactivated array formations placed on both sides.
This is what the top of Lingxiu Mountain originally looked like!
Towering trees overhead blocked out the sunlight. Zhao Xi, wanting to be more cautious, walked deeper into the woods, seeing Lin Che's flowerbed, Shan Shan's house, and the stove she had visited that day. These were all caves, disguised with illusions to appear ancient and elegant.
This little wind sprite was already strange, and it turns out her cave was made using illusion magic. This makes her look even stranger.
Singing could be heard coming from a cave on the opposite side of the flowerbed. Zhao Xi wanted to bypass the towering trees and follow the winding mountain path to find the source of the singing.
Beneath the interlacing canopy of trees, there was a spring bathed in sunlight.
A white-haired girl sat by the pond, bathed in sunlight, her bare feet dangling in the water. Several brightly colored koi fish darted about in the pond, warily nibbling at her feet as if they were food.
Her pale face was almost transparent, like it was made of paper, without a trace of blood, and her expression was more serene than that of a swimming fish.
She looked up and saw Zhao Xixiang, without any surprise. She patted the stone next to her and gestured for her to sit down: "You can get some sun here."
Zhao Xi didn't want to get close to her, so she stood still with her arms crossed and said, "What kind of trick are you playing? I thought you were incredibly powerful and could move the whole house here, but it turns out it's just an illusion!"
The little fairy smiled and said in a light tone, "Doesn't it look familiar?"
Zhao Xi wanted to raise her eyebrows.
It does look familiar, but I can't quite place where I've seen it before.
However, she didn't come to ask about illusions.
"I came to ask you whether you leaked the map to the Abyss Volcano."
“Leaked…” A faint sneer appeared on Feng Xiaoyao’s face as she raised her hand and reached towards the tree canopy a foot away above her head.
A gentle breeze suddenly arose, swirling the leaves and lightly brushing against her.
She seemed to be enjoying herself, saying, "The wind is everywhere, and there's no secret it can't capture. Wherever there's wind, a message can be sent."
Zhao Xi thought, "Are you the Wind God? Lin Che is the Water God. If you are the Wind God, you should stand on the same side as him!"
The little fairy lowered her eyes and said slowly, "Gods exist forever, they are immortal and indestructible. We all die, so how can we be gods?"
Who is she referring to when she says "we"? And this concept is different from what Lin Che told her.
Zhao Xi thought she was being misled and doubted the truth of her words: "I don't care what your identity is, I just want to know if you are a good person or a bad person? Even if you can't answer, at least tell me, will you help us or harm us on this trip to the Abyss Volcano?"
The little wind sprite said mysteriously, "The wind has no heart, so it has no stance. It has no distinction between good and bad, right and wrong. The wind is just the wind, wandering everywhere, omnipresent, yet it can also disappear forever. You might as well ask me how the wind is born."
Zhao Xi didn't like this kind of illusory thing, so she frowned and didn't reply.
The little wind sprite said to itself, "Fire scorches the air, and water surges upward. The wind comes to life. But how is the wind born? Even if there are no living things in this fairy realm, the wind itself exists. The wind is born the moment they descend, isn't it?"
In the past, Zhao Xi would have thought this albino girl might have gone mad.
But what if she's referring to this mythical fairyland?
Hoshino always believed he was the first to awaken in this world, which is why he maintained a complete estrangement from the Water God. But if the Bedrock and the Water God came later, and the Wind was the first…
Zhao Xi wanted to touch the little mermaid inside the necklace.
Inside the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons, the little mermaid sent her a video. People were talking about Xingye and Linche, hoping they would start a war so that these people could reap the benefits.
Were those people the henchmen of the Wind God?
The little fairy stood up by the pond, tiptoed, and lightly leaped across the pond like a feather, flying towards Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi was deep in thought when she looked up and saw the white-haired girl floating over like a ghost. Startled, she took a few steps back.
The little fairy of the wind floated over and hovered in mid-air, leaning closer to carefully examine the expression on her face: "If I were you, I would be angry."
Zhao Xi's thoughts were still stuck on what she had just heard: "Huh?"
"If you like him, you should be angry. When he's with you, he has human emotions. Great immortals don't have human emotions, and gods don't have human emotions either."
She was referring to the last time, the time when Zhao Xi wanted to see them watering the flowers in the garden.
It sounds like she did it on purpose.
Zhao Xi stared at her intently: "What do you want to do? Are you trying to tell me that Lin Che is one of your people?"
"No, I treat you all the same." Feng Xiaoyao suddenly laughed, using her pale fingers to untie her belt, revealing her body to Zhao Xi.
The white tulle could see through very light flesh tones, but when the tulle was removed, there was nothing underneath the garment.
Her body was empty and devoid of energy.
Just like the Little Fairy Boy!
Zhao Xi was taken aback: "You're a fairy servant?"
The little wind fairy shook her head: "No, my true form is the wind, all of this is my disguise. Some winds are colorless and formless, some winds exist in every corner of the world. Zhao Xi thought, if I were you, I wouldn't try to understand the thoughts of gods, they have no heart. If they could like you, then they are no longer the purest gods."
After she finished speaking, before Zhao Xi could even think of any other reaction, she vanished into thin air.
Zhao Xi looked up at the treetops: "Wait."
"Is there anything else?" Feng Xiaoyao's voice echoed.
Zhao Xi thought, "Do me a small favor and let him stay here for two months."
He was referring to Lin Che, of course.
*
"Director, it's been over a month since we left, why are you packing your bags now?"
"I've done the calculations, and now is an auspicious time to set off."
"But the Water God is still in seclusion..."
Zhao Xi wanted to slam the salted fish on the table, frowning and glaring at Feng Xiaoxian: "Do you think I, Zhao Xi, am useless without Lin Che? With so many demon cultivators and such a meticulous plan, do I really need him to set up the formation to protect me?"
"But……"
"He's in seclusion. Where is he in seclusion? That's Lingxiu Mountain, the cave of the Little Fairy Feng! No more 'buts,' let's set off now!"
Zhao Xi wanted to leave the treehouse and came to the front gate.
The demon cultivators, both large and small, were fully prepared and eager to fight.
"Gentlemen, this journey is fraught with danger. The abyssal beasts are comparable to monsters. Rather than retreating at the last minute, I, Zhao Xi, would like to ask you one last time! If any of you are unwilling to risk your lives to obtain the Spirit Fire Glaze for our children, you may stay in the Hundred Beast Garden! Those who guard my Hundred Beast Garden and the Five Spirits Hall are also heroes!"
"No retreat! No retreat! No retreat!" the demon cultivators shouted, raising their arms.
"Alright, let's enter the teleportation array and head towards the Abyss Volcano together!"
