Chapter 514 Gold and White Rabbit
Xia Yue stood at the bottom of the crystal steps, her gaze like a sharp sword piercing through the darkness, pointing directly at the evil beast.
The words of the evil beast were full of despair and anger, and tears were flashing in her eyes, which was the fear of losing everything.
"Are you going to take everything from me again...you monster." Ershou's voice trembled, her fingers tightly grasped the armrests of the throne, her knuckles turning white from the force.
Xia Yue didn't answer. Her silence seemed a denial of the beast's words, but also a confirmation of her own resolve. Her steps were firm and powerful, each one a heavy drumbeat in the heart of the Crystal Palace.
Ershou sat on the crystal steps. She took off her high heels and threw them at Xia Yue who was walking towards her step by step.
Snap——
The high heels hit Xia Yue's head, but did not stop her.
"No.....Don't come over here!! Get away!! Get out!!!"
The beast roared like crazy. She tried to use the items on her body to stop Xia Yue's progress, but it all seemed in vain.
High heels, accessories, and even the cushions on the throne, all the objects she threw hit Xia Yue, but they were unable to stop the vampire's steps at all.
As Xia Yue got closer, the beast's roar turned into a scream, and her fear reached its peak.
The crown on her head shone with its final light amidst the chaos, as if it were a symbol of her power and her last line of defense.
There was no wavering in Xia Yue's eyes. Her heart was filled with sympathy for the evil beast, but more of it was preparation for the upcoming battle.
She knew that the Evil Beast had been trapped by its own fear and obsession, and only through this battle could the Evil Beast be truly liberated.
Just as Xia Yue was about to reach the front of the evil beast, the crystal cluster beside the stairs suddenly began to grow wildly, and the sharp crystals stabbed at Xia Yue, trying to stop her steps.
The unusual movement of the crystal cluster eased Ershou's expression a little, and she seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
The corners of Ershou's mouth widened, and her body trembled as she tried to stand up. The mad light in her eyes rekindled.
But at this moment, a scarlet aura instantly filled the crystal, and then the crystal exploded, like a dream, reflecting the light and shadow of this twisted demon cave.
Despair and fear filled Ershou's eyes again, and she realized that her last glimmer of hope was shattered.
Xia Yue stood in the broken crystal, her figure looking somewhat fragmented.
"It's all over..." There wasn't much resentment or indifference in Xia Yue's voice. Instead, it sounded like she was comforting a frightened little animal.
"Let's go home together..."
"I...I don't, my home is here, Mom...I want Mom..."
The evil beast grabbed her hair and curled up on the steps. Her body was trembling. She looked at Xia Yue in front of her with fear as if she had seen a monster.
Ever since she was driven away by the yellow fairy in the forest, she and her mother had to travel around all day long, and sometimes her mother had to deceive the entire village for a little bit of food.
As time passed, the existence of the evil beast gradually became known to people, and her and her mother's behavior also attracted the attention of the Demon-Subduing Department.
With the help of the Demon-Subduing Division, the villagers began to organize and hunt down the Evil Beast. This hunt was like an endless nightmare, forcing the Evil Beast and her mother to flee everywhere, making their lives even more difficult.
Finally, during a fierce chase, the mother chose to sacrifice herself to protect the beast.
With her last remaining strength, she lied to her pursuers, telling them that she had eaten her daughter because she was so hungry.
This lie shocked his pursuers and allowed the little beast to escape.
But the price was painful. The mother used her own life to buy the beast a chance to survive.
The little beast hiding in the dark witnessed all this, and her heart was filled with grief and anger.
From that day on, she became more cautious and no longer dared to leave the forest easily.
Although Huang Xian'er no longer made things difficult for her, she did not provide much help either.
The beast must rely on its own strength to solve the problem of survival.
At the beginning, the evil beast could still learn hunting in the forest by imitating Huang Xian'er, but with the outbreak of war, this once peaceful forest became the main battlefield.
Huang Xian'er also had to leave. She asked E Shou if he was willing to leave with her, but E Shou refused.
"Mom is here... This, this is my home... I won't leave..."
"Alas, this is not your home, silly child."
Huang Xianer shook her head helplessly and left with a sigh.
During that time, Ershou's life became even more difficult, and she had to rely on stealing and spreading rumors to make a living.
Her heart was filled with despair and pain, but in order to survive, she had to learn to adapt to this cruel world.
After the war, the world changed dramatically.
The original mountains and forests were flattened and replaced by houses.
Ershou watched all this happen, her heart filled with confusion and helplessness.
She began wandering among these newly built houses, looking for food and shelter.
She watched as one house after another was built, and then one house after another collapsed.
Until people built a big house with a strange shape.
Once, out of curiosity, she sneaked into this big house with a strange shape.
She was discovered by the servants of the house, and several maids caught her and almost slaughtered her as a wild rabbit.
But just then, a girl in a wheelchair noticed her.
The person pushing the wheelchair was another girl, but this girl was not a human, but a vampire.
The vampire seemed to see through the true identity of the beast, but she did not show any hostility.
There was no understanding or sympathy in her eyes, only cold indifference like ice.
That kind of sight made Xiao E Beast feel terrified. She was afraid of this vampire. Seeing this vampire was as if she had returned to that terrible era.
But the lady in the wheelchair was very friendly to the little beast. She held the little beast in her arms and stroked her head gently.
This made the beast feel a little warm.
Perhaps, in this world full of change and uncertainty, she has finally found a new home.
And now...
"This is not our home..."
The vampire's eyes changed. They were no longer like when they first met, with nothing but indifference in them.
There was the same warmth in her eyes as that of the young lady back then.
"Home... I, I have no home anymore... I want my mother..."
At this moment, the tears of the beast rolled down his face.
A huge force descended from above.
A crystal monster stood between Xia Yue and the evil beast.
Xia Yue recognized this person as the head maid of the Xia family. Now, she has also become a monster covered in crystals.
She is different from other maids. Her form is more complete and the crystal coverage is more even, as if she is the mother of all monsters and the source of all these changes.
The cluster of bright red crystal flowers blooming on her chest seemed to confirm this.
"She doesn't want to fight anymore."
Xia Yue looked at the head maid and spoke word by word.
"Let her go."
The beast was curled up behind the head maid in a daze.
She didn't know what would happen, nor did she know what she should do. Now she has completely returned to the time when her mother died.
"Protect...the young lady's wish."
The head maid seemed unable to communicate with Xia Yue. She repeated mechanical words, and then the crystals all over her body began to shine.
The battle began without warning.
The head maid's power is indeed far greater than those of the previously transformed maids.
But it was meaningless in front of Xia Yue. Xia Yue cut off her left hand, so she fought with her right hand. Xia Yue cut off her left leg, so she stood on one leg and continued to fight.
No matter what, she stayed in front of the beast to protect it.
Ershou curled up behind the head maid, her tears silently sliding down her face. The fear and helplessness in her heart brought her back to the moment when her mother died.
She didn't know what she should do, nor did she know what the future would be like. Her heart was full of confusion.
Finally, when the shattered head maid fell in front of her and looked at her with a face that was no longer human, Xiao Ermon completely collapsed.
"Miss...I'm sorry..."
The head maid seemed to have regained her consciousness at the last moment. She looked at the little beast and wanted to reach out her hand, but she found that even her crystal body was gone.
“Enough… Enough…”
Ershou simply hugged the cold crystal body, and then her hand slowly placed on the head maid's chest.
"Enough... Enough is enough, this world... This world is enough..."
The moment her hand touched the crystal flower, the blood on the crystal began to spread to her body.
Xia Yue wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
“…Why do you have to do this?”
She looked at the beast and asked in confusion: "Why...you can obviously...atone your sins, you can...with me..."
"Xia Yue... we don't belong to this world... we don't belong... here, but you have found your own world... leave..."
If the evil beast said leaving just now, it meant that he hoped Xia Yue would not disturb her.
So now...
Looking at the beast that had been completely contaminated by crystals, its skin was slowly beginning to form crystals.
Xia Yue felt that she didn't want him to witness her last moment.
"Leave... please..."
The almost pleading words of the evil beast made Xia Yue's heart suddenly hurt.
Her lips trembled as she tried to say something, but in the end, she just nodded slightly.
Xia Yue slowly turned around and walked down the stairs. With every step she took, the stairs gradually collapsed.
Eventually, all the surrounding crystals began to turn into flames.
The weak beasts cannot control the power of the fragments of the Heart of the World.
The final result of the fusion of the two phases is that the fragments of the Heart of the World will completely devour all existence of the evil beast.
Fire is a symbol of loss of control.
Xia Yue didn't look at anything in the room.
She knew that she didn't belong here, and now, everything has come to an end...
The beast was still holding the head maid's body, and that body began to slowly burn with flames.
The golden crown on her head also gradually began to melt, slowly pouring down on the head of the evil beast.
At this moment, the most glorious moment of this house flashed before the eyes of the evil beast.
She saw herself surrounded by maids, saw the love her parents had for her, and saw her two sisters, Xia Ke and Xia Yue, who loved her.
They loved to watch her dance, and she twirled around the hall, her long skirt making graceful circles.
Then she saw her mother, who was standing in the corner, looking at her quietly, her eyes full of love and tenderness. Her mother nodded slowly, as if telling her that it was time to leave.
It seemed to be telling her that it was time to go...
"It's time to go~"
A gentle voice rang in Ershou's ears. It was Xia Ke's voice. Xia Ke gently took Ershou's hand. She was no longer sitting in the wheelchair. Beside her stood the head maid, who had returned to her human form.
The beast raised her head, her eyes were filled with tears, but at the same time there was a hint of relief.
She knew that this was the fate she had to face and it was time to say goodbye to this place full of memories.
Xia Yue walked out of the Crystal Palace and looked back at the last moment.
The girl, whose whole body had been melted by gold, was dancing gracefully, laughing crazily. Everything around her was being burned, and the flames made everything shine brightly.
But that crazy figure looked particularly lonely in the flames.
Until finally, she walked to the door and came to Li Muhan's side.
"......Is it okay?" Li Muhan asked gently.
Xia Yue took a deep breath and nodded. Then a scarlet spear appeared in her hand. She turned around and threw the spear out.
"Mom...sister..."
The beast opened its arms, welcoming the final blow that would bring her death as if it were a hug.
The spear pierced through the flames and air, pinning the girl to the very center of the house...
"Goodbye... Xia Ke, goodbye."
