The little girl curled up on the sofa, finding a comfortable position, and said in a soft, sweet voice:
Let me tell you a story.
Li Xin'er's long legs were dangling outside the building, swaying in the air. She leaned back comfortably, swirling a glass of red wine in one hand, and looked at her.
He acted as if he was listening attentively as the speaker began.
"The fragrance of the red spider lily can remind people of their past life memories."
The news suddenly spread throughout the world, driving countless people to madness and causing chaos as they went to any lengths to find it.
The gods noticed the anomaly and began investigating its cause.
The cause of the incident was not found, but it was discovered that the two demons who guarded the red spider lily, Manzhu and Shahua, had fallen in love.
God was furious and punished him.
The two demons were transformed into a special spider lily, one as the flower and the other as the leaf. The flower never appears, and the leaf never appears. Lifetimes after life, the flower and leaf are separated, hence the name Manjusaka.
Longing for each other yet unable to meet, loving each other yet unable to stay together, our fate ends yet we remain connected, our destiny extinguished yet we are inseparable.
At this point, tears welled up in the little girl's eyes.
Suddenly, an endless hatred welled up in Li Xin'er's heart, and she had an impulse to destroy the world. She tilted her head back and drank the wine in her glass in one gulp, then poured herself another glass.
The little girl continued talking:
"Countless years later, a ghost messenger passed by and immediately spotted the unique red spider lily among the flowers, its color as fiery as fire."
He pulled the flower from the ground, intending to take it back to the other side of the underworld to plant.
On the way to the other side, they passed by the River of Oblivion in the underworld and their clothes were unintentionally soaked by the water.
When he reached the other side and took out the flower again, he found that the fiery red blossoms had turned pure white. Although he was puzzled, he still planted the flower on the other side.
To distinguish it from the red spider lily, the white flower was specially named Mandarava.
But he didn't know that on the River of Oblivion, the red spider lilies, faded by the waters of the River of Oblivion, dripped all their red color into the river.
Millions of years passed, and a flower, even more vibrant than before, grew from the River of Oblivion.
At this point, the little girl was already sobbing uncontrollably. She added, choking back tears:
"The Manjusaka flower that was born in the River of Oblivion has long lost its memories. It forged its body with its soul, thus becoming immortal. After leaving the underworld, it disappeared without a trace."
Li Xin'er forced herself to remain calm and nodded affirmatively:
"Yes, the story is quite interesting."
As she spoke, she suddenly leaned forward, closer to the little girl, rested her chin on her hand, stared intently at the person in front of her, and gave a mocking smile.
"So what? You want to tell me that you are the pure white Datura flower, and I am the Manjusaka flower that has lost its memory?"
The more Li Xin'er laughed, the colder her eyes became, as if frost had formed in them.
"Are you trying to tell me I'm not whole! I'm just one half, a demon within a demon, a split personality?"
The little girl explained eagerly,
"No, that's just their own definition, sister. We've always been one, we're all Manju!!"
Moreover, you are not one half; in truth, I am merely a small wisp of a remnant soul carrying memories, while you are the main body.
The words "You are the main character" seemed to soothe Li Xin'er. She calmed down, sat up straight, and continued to drink her wine in large gulps.
That's right, she's more than one-half.
Souls are divided into three categories: black for evil, white for good, and red for chaos.
She possessed the darkness and the rest of the chaos, while the one before her was a heart of pure goodness.
How much goodwill can you expect from a demon who has been punished by the gods and is filled with hatred for them?
Seeing that her initial excitement had subsided, the little girl continued speaking slowly.
"Shahua has been trying to break free from the shackles of divine punishment. He has been cultivating diligently so that one day he can bring you back."
However, by the time he has the ability to detach himself from the leaf and leave the other shore, you have already left the underworld and disappeared without a trace.
He couldn't find you in his original world, so he searched through three thousand worlds before finally receiving news of you.
The world you lived in before had too many wishes, which led to the birth of this new world.
This new world, not yet fully governed by rules, gave Sha Hua ample room to maneuver.
He sought a way to integrate me into this world ahead of time so I could wait for you, but something went wrong. Instead of merging with you within your body, I detached and became the newly formed consciousness of the Heavenly Dao.
Upon hearing this, Li Xin'er raised her eyebrows; she could roughly guess why.
Because of a pure and kind heart.
Pure goodness has always been favored by God. In this newly formed world, which is also facing its end, it is not normal for it to be brought to the Heavenly Way.
The little girl continued, "My memories were restored after I became the Heavenly Dao. I know what this world will face next."
I feared you might deliberately prevent the apocalypse from ending, so before falling into slumber, I forcibly left a wisp of my divine consciousness within the Other Shore Sword, hoping to find an opportunity to tell you the truth.
It has to be said that the person who understands Li Xin'er best is herself.
Li Xin'er really did have this plan...
Li Xin'er suddenly asked another question,
"So, when I asked you that day, why didn't you say anything? Why did you have to pull this stunt?"
The little girl's body and melancholy expression were rather cute.
"After I became the Heavenly Dao, I was restricted by the rules, and there were many things I couldn't say."
"Now I can say that it was only after the Other Shore Sword absorbed the blood of the villain that I was awakened, giving me the opportunity to use this child's body."
Li Xin'er scoffed lightly, her laughter tinged with schadenfreude.
"Pfft, a pure heart needs the blood of an evil person to awaken it..."
Is this because they've killed too many bad guys and now they think they're good people?
The little girl blushed and explained:
