"I knew you couldn't be that simple." Wen Jingge wasn't surprised at all. "This sword should be yours, right?"
The Snow Woman raised her head, burning with anger; Wen Jingge's words were like a provocation to her.
"Perhaps, we can discuss this further and sit down to talk things over." Wen Jingge calmly dodged her sword strikes.
In front of the Snow Woman, all her messy things were useless; it was only because her body was strong enough that she managed to withstand it.
Wen Jingge felt very strange; this was probably the first time in a long time that she had felt real pain.
What's even stranger is that Wen Jingge was the one who got injured, but the Snow Woman kept filling the holes that suddenly appeared on her body.
Those holes are where she attacked Wen Jingge.
Wen Jingge noticed this and, with a flash, accurately grabbed the Snow Maiden's hand.
It was very cold, like holding an ice pop.
Wen Jingge gasped, and seeing her pale face, she said awkwardly, "Why don't you punch me a few more times? We can talk properly after you've calmed down?"
The snow woman was clearly unhappy. The wrist she had formed from snowflakes gradually dissipated, only to reformulate into a hand.
"When we first met, you seemed unable to act like this. Was it because of the Netherworld Lotus?" Wen Jingge opened her palm, revealing a petal in it. "And you seemed unable to speak before. Were you resurrected?"
Upon seeing the lotus petals in her hand, the Snow Woman immediately attacked.
Unbeknownst to them, they had reached the edge of a cliff. Wen Jingge was in a bad situation; she was all alone and knew that even if she tried her best, she might not be able to make it through.
So, in despair, he said, "To be honest, I don't want to stay in this world. The fighting and killing are exciting to watch, but only I know the true taste of it. The risk of death in this world is too great. I'm tired of it."
Upon hearing this, the Snow Woman lowered her sword.
At this moment, Wen Jingge was backed to the edge of a cliff. "Are you Qi Yun? Or not?"
"It might be, it might not, I'm not sure yet."
Wen Jingge had no use for the lotus petals, so she simply tossed them over, saying, "Take them if you want."
The snow woman caught the petal, slowly closed her eyes as if deep in thought, then suddenly cried out wildly, "No, you are what she left for me. Yes, you are her, you are not her..."
Wen Jingge cleared a space and sat down on the ground without hesitation. Looking at the Snow Woman in her chaotic state, she sighed, "Are all people who have died once this confused when they awaken again?"
The Snow Woman seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly laughed, "Your name is Wen Jingge?"
“Yes!” At this moment, Wen Jingge did not understand how terrifying that sweet smile was. “I had this name in my past life too.”
“No, in your past life…” She looked at Wen Jingge, as if trying to see through her to another person, “In your past life, your name was Xiao Ge…”
"That's what the principal called me when I was at the orphanage." She yawned, propping her head up with her hand. "I've already told you to kill him, why haven't you done it yet?"
The Snow Maiden sighed and muttered something about the Three Thousand Worlds, which Wen Jinge didn't quite understand.
However, this did not change her decision not to fight the Yuki-onna who looked similar to Shirafuji. The Yuki-onna was the most likely person she had encountered to send her back to her original world... let's just call her a god!
"Let me take you back!" A few tears welled up in those eyes that had no pupils, and rain and snow began to fall from the sky. "If you leave, I will still be alive, and Qi Yun will not come back."
"So... I'm both a prayer for good fortune and you?" She had to admire her own ability to process information; she had actually managed to understand such a complicated matter.
"Because of your physical constitution?"
The Snow Maiden paused, then flicked her sleeve, scattering snowflakes into countless ice arrows that hurtled towards Wen Jingge. "Looks like it's too late."
"Late? What's late? Are all you gods so prone to going back on your word? You told me you'd send me back, but now you want to kill me. This is really troublesome."
"Then let me kill you!" she roared.
At this moment, all the snow obeyed her command and covered Wen Jinge.
Just then, a phoenix's cry came from the sky, and a man was thrown down from the sky.
The man felt a chill run through him as he stared at the two women locked in combat, a thunderclap seeming to explode in his mind.
"I...I tampered with it..." The girl laughed as she fell into his arms, her previously blurry face gradually becoming clearer.
She gently stroked his face, like a breeze brushing against leaves: "Remember, remember to come find me..."
"Why...why is all this happening..." he questioned, but had to suppress his voice because of the girl's injuries.
“Ten thousand years ago, only Qi Yun survived. Ten thousand years later, only one of us, Qi Yun and I, can survive. I… I will definitely be the one who survives… You must remember, remember to come find me…” she explained.
"It's a divine union, not a wedding. If we can't find it... then so be it."
“Lu Wei… your life is mine. If you encounter me again after I die, and you kill me, that’s helping me…”
"My backup plan... is the very essence of God..."
"So... what will you be like in the future..." He seemed to understand something.
The divine bones were left behind in the world, enjoying the offerings and incense of all people. If Xiao Ge were to acquire the bones of a god seeking good fortune, she would naturally become...
"Shh...don't say it, it won't work if you say it...there are many eyes in this world..."
“I…I came from Qingqiu Lake. If I get tired, I go there to see Bai Yu. He…he is very lonely.”
"Bai Yu?" This was the first time he had heard another person's name from Xiao Ge's mouth.
"I am surrounded not only by the Golden Crow, but also by the Phoenix. The Phoenix cannot leave Qingqiu Lake."
"Why?"
“There are things he wants to protect there.” She snuggled against him. “My eyes, promise me you’ll protect them for me.”
"But... I can't see..." He looked helplessly at his palm, which was empty.
"That's good that you can't see it." She laughed. "I'm coming soon, don't be afraid, just pretend you don't know anything."
"Come quickly?" he asked, dazed.
"Yeah, you idiot, it's because I'm in your dream! Don't... don't give it away..."
The cold air choked Lu Wei's nostrils, and his memory returned to a lot. He looked at the snow phoenix in the sky and knew that his time had come.
The eyes are what he is looking for.
The heart is what Bai Yu wants to obtain.
Memory is something the Golden Crow needs to make up for.
The three of them carry what is most important to Xiao Ge.
The Golden Crow, after ten thousand years of cultivation, was destroyed in an instant, and forgot everything.
Bai Yu had not yet left Qingqiu Lake, and the memories remained, but the fire phoenix had become a snow phoenix, and could no longer ignite.
As for him... he had contact with Qi Yun, and it was as if he had been divided into countless pieces, with fragmented shadows everywhere, which could not be reassembled in any way.
"Thank you." He exchanged a glance with the white feather in the air and stood in front of Wen Jinge before the ice spikes came.
