Xu Jiaorong stood there blankly, as if she had lost her soul, and it took her a long time to find her voice. She asked Xu Xian incredulously, "Hanwen, tell me honestly, who is she? How did you two meet?"
Wasn't she a homeless orphan girl, and Hanwen's savior? How did she become a snake, a white snake he had tried so hard to get rid of?
Xu Xian knelt down with tears streaming down his face, clutching Xu Jiaorong's clothes with both hands: "Sister, it's all my fault as your younger brother."
Xu Jiaorong understood everything when Xu Xian knelt down. Her younger brother was always sensible; he had never lost his composure like this before. They were just mortals; how could they possibly deal with that demon? They could only submit to her.
Fortunately, she has finally left their home, and they can now live a normal life.
“Sister, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t brought her back, how could she have had the chance to harm you?” Xu Xian’s gaze fell on the child, lingering for a while before he finally made up his mind: “This child will be raised under your name from now on. I can’t bear to let him be without a mother, and I know I’m not fit to be a father. I plan to go to Jinshan Temple to become a monk and atone for the sins of my life.”
"Hanwen, what does this have to do with you? It was clearly the snake demon who made the mistake, why are you taking the blame?" Xu Jiaorong reached out to stop Xu Xian: "Listen to your sister, rest for a while and then go to Doctor He to continue learning medicine and help people."
Xu Xian smiled bitterly: "Sister, how can I possibly have the mind to study medicine now? I can't even take care of myself." He had ultimately failed his sister's expectations and let down this newborn child.
The already gloomy sky grew even darker, and the snow that had been held back began to fall again. In this snowy winter, he walked out of his house with his back to the door, walking further and further away, but never looking back.
Xu Jiaorong watched her younger brother's figure gradually disappear, wanting to persuade him to stay, but unsure what reason to use. Deep down, she still harbored resentment; the unborn child was destined to be a lifelong source of pain for her.
Fahai led Lu Qingyan toward Xihu. The flow of Buddhist light transformed into a sphere that tightly enveloped Lu Qingyan, instantly making her feel less cold.
She blinked her peach blossom eyes and reached out to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky: "Monk, so this is how you use your Buddhist teachings."
Fahai looked at the beautiful figure running and laughing in the snow with affection and murmured, "Susu, I will only use this on you."
The howling wind swallowed his murmur. Lu Qingyan didn't notice anything amiss, and the system wouldn't spoil the mood at this moment. So, this brief moment was a perfect scene of beauty, with the moon shining and snow falling.
Bai Zhenzhen was imprisoned at the bottom of Leifeng Pagoda, utterly helpless and desperate. She had already forgotten her past imprisonment of her senior brother Gui Qing and her indifference to Lu Qingyan's capture by Fahai, and still hoped that they could rescue her.
Inside the pagoda, layers of Buddha statues surrounded Bai Zhenzhen, and the golden light of the Buddha struck her like sharp blades, almost causing her to faint from the pain.
None of the people she had been hoping for came, leaving her alone to struggle. A look of resentment gradually appeared in her eyes: "Master, Senior Brother, Xiaoqing, weren't you the ones who cared about me the most? Why didn't you come to save me?"
But all feelings in this world are reciprocal. When she ignored her old friends who had been with her day and night for Xu Xian, whom she had only met once, and when she flooded Jinshan Temple to get Xu Xian, she was already destined to bear these consequences.
