Nalan Zhao sat to one side without saying a word. He looked at Nalan Ling coldly, as if the person in front of him was not his aunt.
Nalan looked at Nalan Ling for a while, then sighed, "Ah Ling, what are you after now?"
After saying this, Nalan got up and left the interrogation room, and Nalan Zhao followed him.
When Nalan Ling heard Nalan call her A Ling, her hand tightened.
She hadn't heard that title for many years.
When did it start? When did no one call her by that name anymore?
It seems like it's been a long time, hasn't it?
Nalan Ling lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.
After a long while, she suddenly chuckled softly, and as she laughed, tears welled up in her eyes and fell down.
She wasn't crying for everything she had done. She hadn't done anything wrong; she just wanted to make Xianyun Island stronger. What was wrong with that?
She was only crying because of that one word, "Ah Ling."
After so many years, I was still able to hear the way my childhood friend called me before I died.
That’s great.
The decision regarding Nalan Ling has been made: Nalan Ling will be executed, to be carried out in three days.
Three days later at the execution ground, not a single member of the Nalan clan came; only the guards were present to carry out the execution.
Many residents of Xianyun Island came, as did many people from other islands, all to see Nalan Ling's final joke.
Nalan Ling looked around and noticed that neither Nalan nor Nalan Zhao had come, a smile playing on her lips.
It's probably better that she didn't come. This is probably the most pathetic state she's ever been in her life.
Whether in front of strangers or her own family, she always appears proud and beautiful; she doesn't want them to see her looking ugly for even a moment.
Nalan Ling raised her head, looking down at the crowd who had come to watch her with great disdain, as if she were not the one carrying out the execution.
“Let’s begin,” one of the guards said.
The two guards standing next to Nalan Ling exchanged a glance and began their work.
A few minutes later, Nalan Ling's body collapsed limply to the ground.
However, Nalan Ling never knew that the Nalan clan had arrived until her death.
They stood in the shadows and took one last look at Nalan Ling.
"Uncle, shall we go back?" Nalan Zhao said from the side.
Nalan Ling was, after all, his aunt. Before his parents left when he was a child, his aunt had treated him very well, and he liked Nalan Ling very much.
But... Nalan Ling has changed after all.
Nalan Zhao didn't know how to react.
Nalan sighed, "Let's go."
"By the way, Xiao Zhao, have you sent all those players back yet?"
“There are one or two more who are seriously injured and are still recovering. We’ll send them back as soon as they’re healed,” Nalan Zhao replied.
Nalan nodded but didn't reply.
Over the course of these three days, Qi Jing finally logged back into the control panel, which was no longer blank as it had been before.
The moment he opened the panel, a bunch of little red dots popped up on his friend list page.
The little red dots all belong to the same person.
Shen Zhiyi.
Qi Jing quickly opened the panel and started reading from the messages at the top.
Shen Zhiyi initially thought Qi Jing was busy, which was why he hadn't replied to her.
But as time went on, she discovered that something seemed to have happened to Qi Jing.
I leave messages on his private chat page every day.
Ask him when he will be back and when he will reply to his messages.
He went on and on about what happened on the island, when they finished the island instance, and what happened after they returned to Nebula.
Now they've found another clue to get home.
He was also told that he could go home, and that some players had already tried and actually made it home.
Ask him when he'll be back?
The last message was sent the day before.
Shen Zhiyi said she was going home, and that she would wait for him to come home from Blue Star.
They said if he saw these messages, he would definitely come home, right?
...
One day ago.
Shen Zhiyi had packed everything into her backpack, and left some food for Chen Peng and Qi Jing.
Shen Zhiyi also traded five lucky cards to Qi Jing.
However, Qi Jing never accepted it.
Shen Zhiyi sighed. She didn't know when Qi Jing would reply to her message.
The galaxy was too big; she didn't know where to find him.
Shen Zhiyi stood on the nebula, staring blankly at the galaxy she had grown accustomed to seeing.
“Squeak!”
The little pink-haired girl is here.
After the little pink-haired girl arrived, she didn't stand on ceremony and immediately climbed onto Shen Zhiyi.
"Squeak!" Human, are you leaving?
After settling into Shen Zhiyi's arms, the little pink-haired girl asked.
Shen Zhiyi gently stroked the little pink hair. "Yes, I'm going home."
"Squeak." Will you come back to see us again in the future?
The little pink-haired animals didn't know where Shen Zhiyi came from; they only thought that when Shen Zhiyi said "go home," she meant going on a long trip.
"I don't know, but if I have the chance, I will definitely come back to see you."
"Squeak, squeak." It's a promise, you must come back to see us when you have the chance.
The little pink-haired boy snuggled against Shen Zhiyi's chest.
Then, many fluffy balls appeared at Shen Zhiyi's feet.
They were all babies she had fed.
Little Lightning, Fatty, Green Glow Beast, Glass Jellyfish, Little Pomelo, Cat Number One, Cat Number Two, Cat Number Three, and Fatty's wife all came.
There are also the Gudu Beast clan and the Mianbing Beast clan.
Shen Zhiyi laughed, squatted down, and patted each of their heads.
"Meow." Little Lightning walked over and rubbed its head against Shen Zhiyi's hand.
