Huibai passed away.
He died of illness on the night when Si Que was 17 years old.
Before Huibai died, Xiaobai came to his bedside and listened to his last words.
"Master." Hui Bai struggled to sit up. His temples were gray and his face was covered with wrinkles.
"Is there anything you want to say?" Xiaobai looked at him quietly with his light eyes.
"Master..." Hui Bai whispered, "I miss the rice cakes and candies I bought on the roadside when I went down the mountain with my brothers and sisters... The candies were very sweet and delicious..."
Xiaobai nodded and took out two or three rice cakes from his pocket:
"I know you like it, so I bought it a long time ago."
Hui Bai's pupils trembled, revealing a wrinkled smile: "Master is very strict with the three of us on the surface, but he is actually very soft-hearted... Even things like this, Master remembers..."
Xiaobai stuffed the candy directly into his mouth: "Stop talking too much."
Hui Bai's brows relaxed: "Master, don't you want to eat?"
Xiao Bai shook his head: "Candy is nothing but polyhydroxy aldehydes, polyhydroxy ketones, and organic compounds that can be hydrolyzed to form polyhydroxy aldehydes or polyhydroxy ketones. I am not interested."
Before Xiaobai could finish her words, Huibai stuffed another candy into her mouth.
Those glass-like eyes widened slightly, and the sweetness in the mouth quickly melted away.
Hui Bai knew that his master was an immortal, the top existence in Luowasha. His life in this life was like a mayfly, just a drop in the ocean in her long life. He was just afraid that his master and his brothers and sisters would forget him.
After reincarnation, he will lose his memory. Who will remember his short seventeen years?
"Master, how does it taste?"
Xiaobai lowered his eyelids and looked slightly down.
She was silent for a moment, then said softly:
…
“Sweet.”
“…Sweet.”
…
She is always an immortal looking down upon all living beings.
But when he grabbed her sleeve, she bent down for him.
"Master, do you want to make a bet with me?"
"What's the bet?"
"After I die, my body will turn into fish eggs. Let's bet... when I break out of the egg and reincarnate, I will still be able to recognize you."
"Impossible, you won't remember anything." Xiao Bai hesitated for a moment, then changed the subject: "What if I win? What if I lose?"
Although Hui Bai can be reincarnated, Hui Bai without memories cannot be considered the Hui Bai of today. For Hui Bai, every life is equivalent to real death.
So, this is Huibai's last wish.
Hui Bai's throat made a sound like a bellows breaking, his Adam's apple trembled, and he slowly uttered the last words:
"If I win... I'll have to trouble Master... to continue to guide me... in writing the Book of the World..."
"If I lose... I'll have to trouble you, Master..."
He slowly closed his eyes and a tear flowed from the corner of his eye.
"Forget...I..."
Soon, the room was silent.
The dim light made a beeping sound. Xiaobai stood in front of the bed, covering Huibai's body with a white cloth, and stood there for a long time.
Qianqin and Sique have already gone down the mountain. This was Huibai's idea. He didn't want the separation to become too sad.
After a long while, Xiaobai spoke softly:
"Okay, I'll bet with you."
"If you win, I will accept you as the [Guardian of Order], and in the future, you will write the Book of the World with me."
"I... never understood you. Your life span is so short, yet you always try to leave something behind."
Her lips paused, as if the rice cake candy was still in her mouth:
"Sincerity... You have a true heart."
…
"You have a true heart. Huibai."
…
Creation does consume people's vitality.
In just one month, Si Que's body weakened rapidly. He originally had only three years left to live, and if it was shortened any further, he might not even reach 18 years old.
Although he knew that Si Que could live a long time, Su Mingan was still a little worried.
Ten months before his 18th birthday, Si Que began to feel tired all day long, lost his appetite, his muscles atrophied, and his hair gradually turned white.
Nine months before his 18th birthday, Si Que was already sitting in a wheelchair, unable to walk and his organs were aging, but he was still able to write, so he continued to create.
Eight months before his 18th birthday, an unexpected person came to the young white-collar worker.
——Purple hair, golden eyes, handsome face, wearing red clothes.
The ruler of the world.
The Lord of the World, who had run away from home since being written out by Si Que, was unexpectedly led to the sacred mountain by Xiao Bai.
The ruler looked pale, was barely breathing, and looked like he would not live long.
Xiaobai said that after the Lord of the World ran away from home, he unfortunately encountered a glimpse of the Demon Mother Goddess, which caused his soul to be polluted. He survived for many years, but recently he could not hold on any longer.
She thought Si Que wanted to see the Lord of the World for the last time, so she brought the dying Lord of the World over.
"...When you pushed the door open, you should have turned left." Si Que sighed as he looked at the dying Lord of the World.
Back then, Si Que used his best inspiration and best writing to write about the Lord. Si Que prepared a birthday cake for the Lord, and you can see it when you turn left. Perhaps after seeing the cake, the Lord would not be so resolute and think that Si Que only used him as a prop for inspiration.
However, after the Lord of the World ran away from home, he chose to run to the right and missed the cake that Si Que prepared for him. Then the Lord of the World unexpectedly met the Demon Mother Goddess and his soul was severely damaged.
Su Mingan didn't want the World Lord to die. Although the World Lord was moody, he was still a second-generation Noel in terms of strength and intelligence.
That night, Su Mingan asked Xiaobai to help contact Gao Wei.
"I do know some high-dimensional people. Which one do you want to contact?" Xiaobai looked at him. "They are not easy to deal with. They may eat you alive at any time. I advise you not to get close to them."
