Chapter 111 What does it mean to be alive?
“Hehehe~”
Meng Yi chuckled twice, covered half of his face with the Rainy Night Fan, and floated directly into the Xidu Mansion as if he was in an empty place.
She soon discovered Empress Poison, Du Xifei, who was admiring herself in the mirror while dressing.
"Empress Du, I have long heard of your great name." Meng Yi gently waved a round fan, his eyes barely visible behind the blindfold.
"You are..." Du Xifei looked up with some confusion. She seemed to have never seen the fairy in front of her before.
However, although she has never seen her, the person who was able to bypass her attention and enter Xidu Mansion is probably also a great fairy.
"Dream Princess Meng Yi."
'Dream Princess'
Du Xifei frowned slightly. She had neither any interactions nor grudges with Princess Meng on weekdays. Why did she suddenly come to her?
Thinking this, she asked the same question.
"Princess Meng never comes to visit a temple for no reason. She must have something to do to come to Xidu Mansion, which fairies in this fairyland try to avoid."
Du Xifei put away the mirror, casually placed two stone benches and invited Meng Yi to sit down and talk.
Meng Yi gently waved a round fan, creating a cloud of purple mist, and unceremoniously picked a stone bench that he found more pleasing to the eye and sat on it.
"Let's be frank. I would like to invite Lady Du to join me in the election for the leader of Lingxi Pavilion."
"The election for the leader of Lingxi Pavilion..." Du Xifei paused while smoking and knocked on the table.
"I'm actually quite interested in this, but why did Princess Meng invite me to join her? After all, we've never met before, right?"
Du Xifei really wanted to seize the position of Pavilion Master. After all, everyone knew that the power of Lingxi was almost universally recognized as the strongest power in the entire fairyland.
As long as she can grab the position of Pavilion Master, her strength will definitely be improved.
However, although she was moved, she was also really curious about why Meng Yi came to find her, a fairy with whom she had no connection. It couldn't be that she didn't have any good friends among the fairies in the fairyland.
Meng Yi sighed regretfully, "Don't be on your guard, Poison Queen. After all, the person I wanted to invite in the beginning was not you, but the Fire Lord Huo Liaoye."
She stepped forward and wanted to lightly touch Du Xifei's chin, but she dodged it by tilting her head.
Meng Yi did not argue and leaned on the stone table. "It's a pity that the Empire also wants to participate in this election, so Liaoyeta is destined to not be able to form a team with me. But the chief recommended you to me again. She said that you and I would be invincible together, so I came."
Meng Yi's smile was charming, but what he said was nine true and one false.
However, Meng Yi's efforts were in vain. From the moment she mentioned Duan Lingyi, Du Xifei planned to accept her invitation. She believed that Lingyi would not harm her.
"Since Lingyi recommended you to come to me, I naturally won't refuse. Let's enjoy our cooperation." Du Xifei agreed and wanted to see the guest off.
"Hey, don't be in a hurry." Meng Yi tapped Du Xifei's arm with his round fan. It was obvious that she didn't want to leave so soon.
"The chief once mentioned something to me specifically, the puppet container, Rongrong. I wonder if you can let me see it?"
But when hearing Meng Yi's question, Du Xifei looked strange and said, "You should have seen her a long time ago."
"Yes? I don't know when I've ever seen one - you mean the elf out in the garden watering the flowers?"
Meng Yi was halfway through his words when he finally realized something was wrong.
Du Xifei said she had seen it, but she had only encountered one elf along the way, so the only possibility was that the creature that looked like an elf was the so-called puppet container.
Seeing Meng Yi's incredulous expression, Du Xifei nodded silently, "It's just what you think."
“This is really…”
Meng Yi's expression twisted for a moment, and she didn't know how to continue. For a moment, she even felt that Du Xifei was framing her.
That elf outside doesn't look like a lifeless puppet at all, or has the wonderland developed to a point that she completely doesn't understand?
Without letting the two of them stay in embarrassment for too long, Du Xifei shouted outside: "Rongrong, come in and meet our partners."
"Okay." Hearing the call, Rongrong flew in happily from outside holding a small kettle and sat on Du Xifei's shoulder.
Du Xifei pointed at Meng Yi and said, "This is Princess Meng Yi. She will form an alliance with us to seize the position of Pavilion Master in the Lingxi Pavilion election in half a month."
Rongrong nodded in understanding and introduced herself enthusiastically: "My name is Rongrong. If you need to absorb any power, I can do it for you."
Rongrong is still as lively and cute as ever, and she doesn't show any pain of being abandoned by Pang Zun, but she subconsciously shows her own value.
Meng Yi was also very curious about Rongrong, "Are you really a puppet?"
"Of course, it's a real doll." Rongrong immediately flew close to Meng Yi, wanting her to take a good look at herself.
After carefully examining it for several times, Meng Yi still couldn't tell the difference. He smiled slyly, "Well, I can't tell at all. But I have my own way to verify it."
She took off her blindfold at lightning speed, "Yelori magic, like a dream but not a dream, nightmare magic."
A bewitching light emanated from a pair of eyes, one green and one purple.
…………
"Why didn't you fall asleep?" Meng Yi couldn't believe his eyes as he looked at Rongrong who was still full of energy.
"Hey, what do you mean by deep sleep? Rongrong is very full and doesn't want to sleep now."
The fluffy and cute thing was dangling beside Meng Yi's head.
Although she didn't know what Meng Yi was talking about, she just answered whatever she asked.
"It seems that I am too tired. I couldn't even cast the spell well. Let's try again." Meng Yi was a little depressed and wanted to try again without admitting defeat.
Just when she was about to cast the nightmare spell for the second time, Du Xifei stopped her.
"It's useless. Rongrong is just a puppet. She has no soul and cannot think deeply. She just has a certain degree of independent consciousness. How can the nightmare technique be effective on a puppet without a soul?" Du Xifei looked at Meng Yi with amusement.
After a long silence, Meng Yi just said "I don't believe it" and turned his head away.
But the heterochromatic eyes under the eye mask were still staring at Rongrong.
Is the elf in front of me really a puppet?
Her nightmare technique was restrained?
This realization terrified Meng Yi. Strength was the source of her confidence, and admitting that her magic had failed was more painful than killing herself.
so,
She will find a way to make Rongrong fall asleep, and she will find evidence that Rongrong has a soul.
On the other side, in a corner that Meng Yi and Du Xifei didn't notice, Rongrong's eyes were full of light, with an imperceptible morbidity.
Ever since Pang Zun said that, Rongrong has been thinking about a question: what exactly does it mean to be alive?
Can you act coquettishly, laugh, and experience joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness?
No, it’s not enough. I need something more, but what exactly do I need?
Yes, it is recognition. If everyone thinks that I am alive, doesn’t that mean I have life?
But why, why, everyone just treats me as a puppet? I am so vivid and lively?
Have I no eyes? Have I no sense organs, no limbs? Have I no feelings, no emotions?
Am I not eating the same food, being harmed by the same weapons, being healed by the same immortal power, feeling the same cold in the winter and the same hot in the summer, just like a fairy?
Why can I only be a puppet!
No, there is a fairy who is different, she recognizes me!
That's great, that's great, let's make a deal, don't change it~
