Chapter 363 As dawn breaks, I will always be by your side.
The sky is a deep, inky blue as dawn approaches.
The rain had stopped sometime earlier, and the air was filled with the damp chill of dawn and the stillness of all things waiting to revive.
In the open space of Linfeng County Courtyard, puddles reflected the faint sunlight, like shattered mirrors scattered on the ground.
Huali took a deep breath of the moist air and said with a bitter expression, "What happened before was nothing. This is the most painful thing in my life."
"It hurts, it hurts so much!" Steward Ao clutched his heart and nodded repeatedly.
"Tsk." Shen Yu crossed his arms. "I told you a long time ago to eat and spend money as you please, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened."
Huali immediately turned her head, pointed at Xiaohua with her shovel, and said, "Young Master, shut up."
She turned back and squatted in front of the mountain-like Qiankun bag, looking at the dazzling array of spirit stones inside, and wailed:
What's the most painful thing in life? Dying with unspent money!
She's going to the Witch Clan's Cause and Effect Tree, but she doesn't know when or where. She can't take the money into her Qiankun Bag, so what is she going to do with all this money?
Should we give it to Luo Chuanlian and the others to wash?
But they also have to go to the Abyss to suppress the black energy.
And these damned first-generation rich kids treat money like dirt. If a fight breaks out, and they go crazy and forget about me, they'll definitely turn her little bit of money to dust.
In that case, the first thing she'll do when she gets back is to blow up the Earth.
Should we store it at the Xianbo offline store?
Ha! What a rip-off! They haven't even given her the thirty spirit stones that Young Master Xuanming had!
"Place it in the Nero Cicada Palace." Wen Jin looked at it for a moment in the corridor and asked, "Are you sure you've kept the key safe?"
“Of course, they’ll all be put together.” Huali nodded. “But the Nero Chan Palace is too far away, and there’s no time to go now.”
"Bury it." Luo Chuan said succinctly, pointing to the large ancient tree in the courtyard. "The soil here is still acceptable, moist and easy to dig."
"No, this tree is crooked and deformed, it doesn't meet my aesthetic standards." Rosewood vetoed it immediately.
Lian Zhuo thought for a moment and pointed to the eaves: "This place is on higher ground, so it is less likely to accumulate water during the rainy season."
“After concealing it with an array, no one will notice,” Yan Xi continued. “There are too many things, so we need to dig the pit deep, otherwise it will easily be pushed out.”
......
...
Huali looked at the group of people who were carefully "choosing a location" for her "retirement money," her eyes slightly welling up, but she also felt like laughing.
It seems that people only start to have many regrets when they are about to say goodbye.
I regret that we had so much more time to spend together, but we missed it all.
Huali watched Shen Yu's disdainful yet earnest profile, Luo Chuan's casual "site selection," Wen Jin's tamping of the land, Yan Xi's skillful "marking" of it, and Lian Zhuo covering the "treasure land" with a barrier.
As I watched... the slight regret in my heart quietly dissipated.
This is actually quite good, she thought.
She has no regrets about being born into this world because she met these people.
Even with all the reluctance and regret, the sun will eventually rise again.
Huali casually stuck the small shovel into the soil, but looking at the upright piece of wood, she felt it was not a good omen, so she kicked it down.
The crisp sound broke the tranquility of the "busy" moment.
"Once this is all over and we come back, I plan to find a hilltop and build a really, really big house with a really, really big yard. It'll be a Chinese-style villa, which will definitely be very cool!"
Huali smiled mysteriously, "You've definitely never seen this before. Let me tell you, there are so many fun things in my world."
“There’s a metal box called a ‘car,’ which can run incredibly fast on its own without needing spiritual power or a horse! And there’s an ‘airplane,’ which is huge!” She gestured with her arms outstretched, “It can carry people up to the clouds, and it’s even bigger than a cloud boat.”
"And 'McDonald's', 'bubble tea', 'television'..."
The little girl's voice was light and cheerful, as if she knew everything about the world. In the tail end of summer, in the early autumn morning breeze, she described the world she lived in to the person she cherished most.
Whether it's the mysterious and unparalleled Demon King of the Holy Capital Demon Realm, the Demon Lord who strikes fear into the hearts of Sunset City, the peerless young general of Canglan Prefecture, the Buddhist disciple worshipped by thousands in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, or even the strongest man in the world, Yan Xi...
These people, who have seen far too many sights that ordinary people could never witness in their entire lives, were still willing to shake their heads in agreement for their little girl.
A smile tinged with curiosity and indulgence.
I used to think time moved too slowly, but now I realize it has passed in the blink of an eye.
When we first met, the spring breeze was just beginning to caress the willow branches, but in the blink of an eye, it is already early autumn with the leaves turning yellow.
As Huali spoke, her voice gradually lowered, and the expression on her face was slowly replaced by a strong sense of sorrow.
She fought back the tears welling up in her eyes and sniffed hard.
"So...so, we all have to come back alive."
"Come back... I will not only build you big houses, I can also... I can use the water mirror to conjure all of these things for you to see."
Luo Chuan was the first to react.
He reached out and gently wiped the little girl's eye with his fingertips, his voice slightly hoarse: "Alright, once this is over, I'll definitely be the first to pick up Little Flower Pear." He paused deliberately, "Then Little Flower Pear can kick out all these eyesores and only tell me, okay?"
"Heh." Wen Jin scoffed coldly, "Dream on."
He bent down naturally and brushed the mud off the hem of the rosewood skirt. "Don't be afraid... I will always wait for you."
"Amitabha." Lian Zhuo's eyes shone with gentle light. "There is a patch of Udumbara flowers on the back mountain of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect. This humble monk will wait for you to go see it together."
Yan Xi led Hua Li out of the "encirclement" and gently held her in his arms. "These people still can't resist vying for favor at a time like this. They're really shameless. My little benefactor, I'm the better one."
"When you come back, I'll go with you to the Cangming Sea to dig for pearls. They don't even know where the treasures are."
Huali suddenly had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly asked, "Oh right, can your tears turn into little pearls?"
"You always ruin the mood." Yan Xi gently tapped Hua Li's forehead with his own. "Whether you can... you'll know when we meet again."
Shen Yu did not step forward, but stood still.
He was just a young man in his early twenties, and he couldn't hide his emotions like others.
His posture remained upright, but his hands, hanging at his sides, clenched unconsciously, his fingertips trembling slightly.
The young master's eyes were terribly red, as if they were dyed with the most intense morning glow, and he stared intently at Huali without blinking.
Her voice trembled and became hoarse: "...Karin, you know...I love you, right?"
A morning breeze stirred, lifting a few stray hairs from the boy's forehead.
Shen Yu took a deep breath, walked up to Hua Li and bent down, "Although...although I have said it many times, I still have to tell you."
"I love you, more than you can imagine."
"I will always be behind you."
"I will always... always wait for you."
As a tear fell silently, the young general carefully leaned forward and gently kissed Huali's lips.
Touch and then leave.
"so......"
"If...if we fail, don't be afraid." Shen Yu took a step back, then suddenly broke into a hearty laugh. "Whether it's heaven or earth, I'll always be with you."
Tears streamed down Huali's face, but then she suddenly smiled. She nodded emphatically, "Okay, it's a promise then."
In the eastern sky, the morning star shines brightly, its cool light falling upon the earth, as if lighting a solitary lamp for farewell.
In all directions on the horizon, several streaks of light flew away, piercing the gradually brightening sky, and sped towards their respective destinations.
The morning breeze, carrying the scent of dew, brushed against the hem of Huali's clothes and her hair.
It's time; no more words are needed.
