Xiao Wanwan stared blankly at the young man.
The boy she knew all too well, the boy who had always secretly followed her since childhood and helped her escape danger.
"Brother Tianjue?" she murmured softly.
The boy, sword in hand, floated into the air, his sharp eyes fixed on the demons on the snow-capped mountain.
"You killed her, you will all die a horrible death!"
With a flick of his longsword, his figure became ethereal, leaving only a fleeting afterimage as he weaved through the demons.
He quickly returned to his original position, exuding a sinister and bloodthirsty aura, and the demons on the ground collapsed instantly.
The blood on the longsword dripped into the snow, staining the ground with a blinding snowflake.
Corpses littered the fields, and blood flowed like rivers.
Then, he leaped into the air and flew towards the sky.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Wanwan immediately flew after him.
The boy landed in the ninth heaven, held the girl's last wisp of soul in his arms, then put on the black and gold mask and flew down to the mortal realm with the woman in his arms.
"Ziling, how could you be so foolish?"
Not long after, he finally landed in front of a waterfall.
Xiao Wanwan recognized this place; it had appeared in her dreams before.
At the time, she wondered who the man in the black and gold mask was, only to find out that it was her brother Tianjue.
After passing through the waterfall, the young man quickly took out a glass lamp he had crafted himself from the alchemy furnace and placed the girl's soul inside.
"Zi Ling, please bear with me here for now. I promise I will let you be reincarnated."
The decorations and furnishings are exactly the same as those in the Ziling Palace.
So, is this Brother Tianjue's cave dwelling?
“Ziling, you once said that the furthest distance in the world is not between life and death, but between the wind that cannot be touched and the person who cannot wake up.”
“I have destroyed those demons that harmed you. The new leaders were personally chosen for you, and they have all signed contracts with you.”
"No one will dare to bully you anymore."
Xiao Wanwan stared at him blankly. She had heard the exact same words in her dream when she was a child, but she was too young to understand them then.
Now that she's fourteen years old and grown up, how could she not understand?
"She is the one who can't wake up, and she is also the one who can't be touched."
Why did Brother Tianjue save me?
Who exactly is Tianjue?
She tried desperately to recall, countless blurry images flashing through her mind, but she couldn't grasp even a single detail.
"Hmph, Xiao Wanwan, you finally showed up." Suddenly, a girl appeared beside Xiao Wanwan.
Xiao Wanwan was startled and took a step to the side.
"Who are you?"
The girl looked exactly like Xiao Wanwan. She reached out and touched her cheek. "Don't you think we look alike?"
The moment the girl reached out, Xiao Wanwan involuntarily reached out and touched herself as well.
Seeing how similar their movements were, Xiao Wanwan glanced at her and said, "I'm much prettier than you."
"Look at you, you look so gloomy, not even a smile!!"
Girl: "..."
"Xiao Wanwan, are you just naturally dull-witted? Do you really not recognize me?"
“Look again at the soul on the Heavenly Jade Glazed Lamp, and then look at me.”
Xiao Wanwan glanced at the woman opposite her again, then looked at the woman in front of her, and sure enough, she looked exactly the same.
"You are me too?"
The girl snorted coldly, "Hmph, looks like you're not so stupid after all."
Xiao Wanwan immediately replied, "Let me tell you, one more of me wouldn't make a difference. Now I am the real one."
"Xiao Wanwan, I never said you were a fake. Do you know why you are without desires or wants?"
“Who has no desires? I like to eat and play, and I also love my older brothers and my parents.” Xiao Wanwan crossed her arms.
"Then do you know why Tianjue gave up the position of Emperor?"
Xiao Wanwan asked in surprise, "You mean Brother Tianjue is the Emperor?"
The girl turned away disdainfully, but her gaze softened as she looked at the boy in black opposite her.
"Xiao Wanwan, I hate you. I hate that you betrayed Tianjue. I hate that you made him give everything for you and you remained unmoved."
"So, don't even mention how happy I was when you died. I never wanted to share a body with you again. Your ignorance and folly will only trap me in your soul, from which I cannot escape."
Xiao Wanwan blinked her big eyes, somewhat incredulous.
"I've only known Brother Tianjue for a few years, and all I did was ask him to secretly buy me a few pork knuckles. Is that what you call sacrificing everything for me?"
"According to you, Brother Qian Shu is giving his life to me?"
"If we're talking about who has sacrificed the most for me, it's him!"
Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes suddenly sharpened, and she angrily said, "Xiao Wanwan, do you really not know?"
"Otherwise what?" Xiao Wanwan looked at her unmoved.
The girl took a deep breath and turned to look at Tianjue casting a spell on the soul.
“Xiao Wanwan, ten thousand years ago, Tianjue pierced your heart with a thousand arrows. At that time, you were so grief-stricken that you expressed my emotions to the fullest. I released all my love, and I thought we would stay together forever.”
"But in the last moment after his death, Tianjue separated a wisp of his soul to erase all your memories of him, simply because she was afraid that you would be too heartbroken for him."
"At that time, I desperately tried to separate your soul from mine, but your main soul controlled me and prevented me from escaping."
"Later, Tianjue used up all his spiritual power and could barely survive. He left and no one knows where he went."
"But you act as if nothing's wrong, running amok and causing trouble in the Three Realms. All you do every day is eat and be happy!"
"A thousand years later, Tianjue returned, but he never appeared before your eyes again. He only protected you in the dark for ten thousand years, shielding you from disasters and relieving your worries."
