Xiao Ya breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Er leave with the struggling Nianxin, then looked at Bai Yueyue kneeling on the ground.
"Xiao Ya..." Bai Yueyue reached out her hand, wanting to ask Xiao Ya for a hug, but Xiao Ya refused.
Xiaoya gently shook her head: "I really want to hug Yueyue too, but, I'm sorry, I can't."
"Xiao Ya, come back into my body quickly! I'll erase the source right now! Teach me how to do it!" Bai Yueyue anxiously expressed her needs as she watched Xiao Ya's increasingly ethereal figure.
“I can’t do that, and I can’t do it,” Xiaoya said with a smile to Bai Yueyue. “Yueyue, the source within you is very important. It’s the source of life and power on this planet, so protecting it is your duty. Although I really want to say that protecting Yueyue is my duty, I can’t do it.”
"Xiao Ya... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Xiao Ya had told me a long time ago that Nian Xin had a problem. If I had been more careful, if I hadn't been so stupid to be so easily deceived, wouldn't things have turned out differently?
"It's not Yueyue's fault," Xiaoya said gently, offering her last words of comfort to Bai Yueyue. "This is something we both went through together, so shouldn't we both bear the responsibility?"
"Then don't leave me! Let's go through it all together." Tears streamed down her face as Bai Yueyue pleaded with this impossible possibility in a desperate tone.
Xiaoya reached out to wipe away Bai Yueyue's tears, but her hand couldn't touch Bai Yueyue. She smiled bitterly and tried to pull her hand back, only to find that Bai Yueyue had placed her hand in her own.
Even though we haven't touched each other, I can still feel the other person's warmth.
“Yueyue, not every farewell is preceded by a warning, just like our farewell, it came suddenly,” Xiaoya’s gentle voice soothed Bai Yueyue’s heart wounds. At the same time, Xiaoya was also using her last strength to heal Bai Yueyue’s physical wounds. “No one likes farewells, but we have to face them. Although this feeling is unpleasant, as long as life goes on, we will experience it countless times. So Yueyue, the last thing I can do for you is to let you learn about farewells from me.”
"No, this kind of thing is too annoying, I don't want to learn it." Bai Yueyue used a willfulness that she shouldn't have at this moment to plead with Xiao Ya one last time, "I want Xiao Ya to always be with me, I want to protect Xiao Ya, just like Xiao Ya wants to protect me. If Xiao Ya is there, then even if I am deceived again, I will have the courage to accept it."
"No, Yueyue, even without me, you must have the courage to accept it. I've always believed that Yueyue is the most outstanding child. Yueyue is very smart, able to persevere through such heavy studies; Yueyue is also very brave, able to face so many dangers; Yueyue is naturally very gentle, finding ways to trust and help others. So, Yueyue, who is so excellent in my eyes, please continue to be so, even if betrayal leaves you scarred, even if separation leaves you wounded, Yueyue must grow strong. I look forward to Yueyue's future. Ah, the time for parting has come."
Xiao Ya's figure began to fade away, a smile of longing on her face. In these final moments, she gently encouraged Bai Yueyue once more: "Yueyue, parting is truly heartbreaking, and I'm heartbroken too. But please, Yueyue, let's both stay courageous and bravely accept this separation. Yueyue, you must grow strong. I will... always... protect... you..."
As the last word faded, Xiao Ya disappeared from Bai Yueyue's sight, and silence returned. The only traces Xiao Ya left behind were her expectations and encouragement for Bai Yueyue, and the source that had already sprouted within Bai Yueyue's body.
"My mother told me to always keep an elegant smile, but I don't think I've learned it yet. Xiaoya, at least your departure has made me less strong for now. I want to cry."
Unlike Xiaoya and Bai Yueyue, in a space that had been forcibly carved out, Yi frowned as he looked at the silver-haired girl in front of him.
"According to the agreement, Lady Lin Sisi, you shouldn't lay a hand on me, right?" Facing the person in front of her, she tried her best to appear calm.
"Really?" Lin Sisi snapped her fingers, and a chair and hot tea appeared. She then sat down comfortably, sipping her tea and looking at the table. "Whether an agreement is effective or not depends entirely on my mood."
"Even the Supreme God would be so petty as to break a promise?"
"Since you're about as capable as that annoying guy, you should know how much I care about Sister Xiaoya, right? You've all schemed against her, so of course I'm here to avenge her." Lin Sisi took a sip of tea, then put it down, sizing up the person in front of her.
"After all, Lady Xiaoya is not from this planet and is not subject to the agreement. Besides, wouldn't doing this also benefit Lady Xiaoya?"
“Hmm, what you said makes sense,” Lin Sisi picked up her teacup and put it down again, “but it’s really annoying.”
"Please forgive us, we had no choice. If Lady Xiaoya were still here, the source of this planet would not have grown. Lady Sisi, this is not the result you wanted, is it?" Yi's back was already sweating profusely, because he could feel that the silver-haired, blue-eyed girl in front of him really had murderous intent, and she really did it with ease, annihilating them all.
Lin Sisi didn't speak, but stared at the tea in her hand and fell silent.
"Those of you with serial numbers before three are not allowed to make a move for four years," Lin Sisi said. "If you violate this rule, just wait for my world-destroying arrow to settle accounts with you. You should know that all your self-righteous predecessors have given my world-destroying arrow their tacit approval. Moreover, you kinds of creatures are the ones I hate the most and the ones I should personally eliminate the most."
Upon seeing this, he immediately knelt down and said, "I will obey the command of the Most High God."
"Alright, get lost." The space vanished, and he returned to the place where Lin Sisi had forcibly dragged him away.
"One, just as you said, that guy has been forced out and must have disappeared by now," Two excitedly told One, their plan a success.
"Okay, very good. You and 'Seven' can go and rest. I need to prepare for what's to come."
"Yes," Erhe and Nianxin answered simultaneously.
Only after the two left did Yi breathe a sigh of relief. This time, he had completed the plan by stepping on Lin Sisi's bottom line. Yi was certain that Lin Sisi's promise of four years would not be shortened by even a second.
If it weren't for the agreement between Lin Sisi and the will of this planet, the arrow of destruction would probably have arrived the moment they attacked Xiaoya.
"Phew, as long as Xiaoya disappears, that's enough." He rubbed his temples to relax his tense nerves from facing Lin Sisi, while thinking about what to do next.
Lin Sisi, in the gray space, took another sip of tea and showed a disgusted expression: "Ugh, this tastes awful."
But she quickly regained her composure: "I don't know how long it will be before I can see Sister Xiaoya again. It's all those guys' fault. I didn't even have time to see Sister Xiaoya one last time. Hmm, but Kexin should be ready by now, right? Bai Yueyue, don't let Sister Xiaoya down."
