Chapter 440: Master (5)
Xu Ailian laughed and said, "What a joke! You still have a long life ahead of you."
She was very open-minded about it. She would not be the fox fairy's first partner, nor would she be the last. There was nothing to worry about. This was a gap between humans and demons that could never be crossed.
"I'm not kidding." The fox fairy said to her seriously, "I've lived for too long, I've really had enough. It's a blessing to be able to go with you."
Xu Ailian shook her head with difficulty: "Don't be impulsive, life is the most precious thing, don't waste it."
"It's not a question of whether to waste it or not, it's a question of what's more worthwhile." The fox fairy paused. "I didn't understand this principle before, but now I understand it a little. Please don't be offended."
If I had understood it before, I wouldn't have met her again.
In the end, neither of them could convince the other.
But what does it matter? In the face of death, right and wrong are meaningless.
Xu Ailian slowly stopped breathing beside the fox fairy.
The hands that were still held together slowly dropped down.
They have obviously aged, and they are just simply accompanying each other.
Tears still blurred the fox fairy's face.
He couldn't even remember how long it had been since he last shed tears.
They all understood Feng Shui, but the fox fairy did not bury her in a so-called Feng Shui treasure land, but chose the forest with the best scenery.
There is no tombstone, but standing nearby you can see the best scenery of this mountain forest.
Soon her apprentice Xu Chuchu will feel the passing of her life and will rush over to mourn.
He just placed a bunch of foxtail flowers on the grave and left.
…
Because her body had been well maintained and she was protected by the fox fairy's spiritual power, death did not bring her much pain.
She felt light, as if floating on clouds and streams.
Finally, is everything coming to an end?
So relaxing...
However, she also knew very well that even if her body died, her soul would not dissipate. She would still have to go to the so-called underworld, cross the Forgotten River, and then be judged.
She opened her eyes, thinking she saw a vast river and a zone of death, but she found that it was not the case.
There was only a vast expanse of white before my eyes.
The ground under my feet, around me, and in the sky are all pure white, like snow or clouds.
Where is this?
I looked down at myself again, but the transparent ghost-like body I expected to see was not there.
She is still completely herself, with flesh and blood and substance...
Entity? She can move now, so she shouldn't be in the state of dying. What does she look like?
She immediately touched her face.
……smooth.
No wrinkles, no rough skin, smooth as eggshell.
When I looked down at my body again, I found that I was not bloated at all, but slim and slender, as if I was sixteen or seventeen years old again!
It's like going back to the time when I was with Qu Qu.
Xu Ailian did not feel any joy.
Firstly, she didn't like the color of youth. Secondly, all gifts came with a price tag, and she didn't know what price she had to pay to obtain a young body when she should have died.
The surroundings were still covered in white. She took a step forward, and it felt soft as if she was stepping on cotton.
Walking a little further, she saw more white fluff under her feet, many of which split apart and extended to places she could not see.
Suddenly, a solemn and heavy voice rang in her mind.
"Who is coming?"
Xu Ailian calmed down and quickly gave her name. She added, "I'm already dead. I don't know why you've come to visit me. Please don't be offended."
The other party soon fell silent, and a bright light suddenly appeared in front of her. She quickly covered her eyes with her hands.
After the dazzling moment passed, I opened my eyes again and saw a piece of crystal floating in the air in front of me without knowing when!
"Humans... actually humans..." Crystal said in a voice that was almost unbelievable. "It's been so long since humans came here. It's unbelievable."
"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean." Xu Ailian said modestly.
The crystal floated up and down slightly. "Don't you know where this is? Of course you don't know. This is the highest place."
"The Highest Place?"
"The Highest Land," Crystal said. "Only those who have done good deeds their entire lives and never done evil are qualified to come here. Most of those who come here are animals and plants that have become spirits. I don't know how many times I haven't seen a human. Have you really been a good person your entire life? I can't believe it."
Xu Ailian was stunned for a while: "Thank you for your recognition, I just do what I want to do."
"Ah, but it's great to have humans here. It's so difficult to teach animals and plants." Crystal became more and more relaxed. "Come with me, we have to start right away."
"Start?" Xu Ailian stood still. "What do you want to start?"
"Of course, it's time to start your duties!" Crystal said, "You'll be an inquisitor from now on, so you need to quickly familiarize yourself with your job!"
After saying that, he floated away for a while.
"Work? I'm already dead, why should I continue to work?"
Crystal had no choice but to float back. "Humans are incredibly suspicious. Let me explain this to you clearly. We, the Inquisitors, are above everything in this world, even higher than the dragons you've seen. Only those who have done good deeds throughout their lives are qualified to become Inquisitors."
"Then what should the judge do?" Xu Ailian asked again.
"We have to judge and manage those who have committed heinous crimes," Crystal replied.
"Then, how long will it take?" Xu Ailian looked hesitant.
Crystal paused. "Of course it's permanent. You are good people, selfless and dedicated, so you are qualified."
Xu Ailian sighed: "I'm afraid this is not a compliment, but just seeing that we can make selfless contributions, let us continue to make contributions."
Upon hearing this, the transparent crystal instantly turned into pink quartz.
"That's not the truth. You also possess a youthful body and eternal life." It swayed up and down. "You are no longer a human, but a god. This is the Supreme Judge's reward for your life of good deeds."
"Since it's a reward, I have the right to refuse it." Xu Ailian said something that Shuijing had never heard in her life, "I'm tired and don't want to do good deeds anymore."
"You, you, how could it be!" If Crystal had a mouth, it would have been cracked by now. "You've been doing good things your whole life!"
However, Xu Ailian understands her own heart better than anyone else.
"I've lived my life with a clear conscience, but now I don't want to continue. I just want to be myself. Excuse me, Judge, please let me go."
"Do you really think so?" A deeper and deeper voice came.
A strong light appeared behind Crystal again, and this time it did not weaken.
"We can send you back, but the price is taking back your young body and eternal life. Can you accept it?" the voice asked again.
"Accepted, thank you all for your help." Xu Ailian answered without hesitation.
She thought that if Xu Chuchu was here, she would definitely pinch her shoulders and shake them non-stop.
Fortunately, he's not here...
