"If there is a chance that allows you to completely lose Sariel, would you be willing?" Hua Jianzui held Ling Shuangxi's hand tightly, as if making an important promise to her.
After hearing this, Ling Shuangxi's face did not show joy, but instead was filled with worry. She began to panic and asked hurriedly, "Hua'er, what do you want to do?"
Hua Jianzui gently patted the back of Ling Shuangxi's hand and said in a gentle tone: "This time, we really have to say goodbye." After that, she slowly let go of Ling Shuangxi's hand.
"Hua'er!" Ling Shuangxi tried to grab Hua Jianzui's hand, but she cleverly dodged it. Hua Jianzui turned around and left without hesitation, his steps resolute and without the slightest intention of lingering.
Seeing this, Ling Shuangxi hurried to catch up. However, due to exhaustion and the blood on the ground, she eventually fell to the ground. Ling Shuangxi, ignoring the pain in her body, raised her head and looked. Tears flowed out of her eyes like a broken dam, mixing with the blood on her face.
"Hua'er..." Ling Shuangxi shouted Hua Jianzui's name with all her strength. However, Hua Jianzui never looked back and left the apartment. The only sound left in the air was the sound of the door being slammed shut. Ling Shuangxi was left alone on the ground, crying silently.
Hua Jianzui and Ai Yu arranged to meet in the suburbs. When she arrived, Ai Yu had been waiting for a long time. Hua Jianzui put his hands in his pockets, a smile on his face, and slowly walked towards Ai Yu: "When did you know your identity?"
"last night."
Hua Jianzui lowered his eyes slightly: "Then how did you know it was mine?"
"Intuition... maybe you don't believe me, but I was actually still hesitant. But the probability of Eleven and Wen Xiaowan being the one was not high, so I thought it should be you. Sister Hua, you have always been so nice to me, is it because you know I am the same kind as you?" Ai Yu looked cautiously at the older sister who took good care of her, with mixed feelings in her heart.
Hua Jianzui shook his head. "No, I found out after that dream. Before, I was just like you, unaware of my own identity. I just thought I was an orphan. I didn't even know where the name Hua Jianzui came from. I try my best to live every day, leaving no regrets, and trying my best to accompany these friends..."
Ai Yu, actually, when I knew it was you, I was quite happy. Because I know you are a good child." Hua Jianzui took a few steps forward and hugged Ai Yu in his arms. "Maybe this is the fate between us. Even if we each lose our memories, we will be close to each other and feel warm."
The person in his arms hugged Hua Jianzui back and asked in a muffled voice: "Sister Hua, have you made up your mind?"
Hua Jianzui didn't answer but asked, "Ai Yu, have you made up your mind?"
The person in his arms nodded: "I've made up my mind, Sister Hua, no matter what, I won't regret it."
Hua Jianzui sighed softly: "Good boy."
"Hua..." Ai Yu suddenly stopped talking, loosened her grip on Hua Jianzui's hand, glanced around vigilantly, and lowered her voice to say, "Sister Hua, there's someone."
Hua Jianzui was slightly stunned, and looked at Ai Yu in surprise. "Have your five senses become so sharp now? Who is around? Could it be that Ge Heluolang's law beast is causing trouble again?"
Ai Yu tightly grasped the corner of Hua Jianzui's clothes with his left hand, and looked around nervously: "I don't know either, but I can definitely sense the presence of other people around. Sister Hua, don't leave me even a step."
Hua Jianzui raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a relieved smile: "I never thought that our Ai Yu has grown up to the point where he is capable of protecting others without us noticing."
Ai Yu lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed. She muttered softly, "This is all thanks to everyone's careful teaching." However, at this moment, she sensitively noticed the unusual movements around her, and her originally relaxed expression suddenly became serious. "Shh."
It was a subtle and crisp sound, like the sound made by ice crystals freezing.
Ai Yu's heart tightened, and he suddenly raised his head and looked straight into the distance: "000?"
In the blink of an eye, a thick layer of frost quickly formed on the ground within a one-mile radius, centered on where Ai Yu and Hua Jianzui were standing. It converged on them like a tide. In just a few breaths, only a small patch of ground, barely wide enough for them to stand on, remained uncovered by the ice.
Right in front of the two of them, a cat's ear emerged from the weeds. As the cat walked closer, its body gradually grew larger.
Hua Jianzui and Ai Yu both recognized the cat: "Olai?"
Ai Yu never thought that the person standing against him at this moment would be Ling Xiaoan.
Ling Xiaoan stepped out of the void, her high heels breaking the frost on the ground with every step: "Long time no see, Ai Yu."
Behind her, 000 also appeared.
000 was wearing a white dress and standing barefoot on the ground. She held Ling Xiaoan's wrist with both hands. She stuck her head out and looked at the two of them with a calm expression: "Kill?"
Ai Yu frowned slightly: "Xiao An, you are controlled by the law beast, right?"
Ling Xiaoan put one hand on her waist and sneered after hearing this: "Why do you care about me?" She reached behind her back and pulled out a pistol. Without hesitation, she aimed it at Hua Jianzui and shot, "Ole, 000, do it."
Ole's body suddenly grew in size, and now he was the size of an adult elephant. He roared, shocking the eardrums of the two men. He moved at an incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of them. As soon as the two men separated to avoid the bullets, Hua Jianzui was knocked to the ground by Ole.
"Sister Hua!" Ai Yu's body was frozen by 000, and she couldn't move for a moment. "Ling Xiaoan, what on earth do you want to do? Don't listen to Lu Beast!"
Ling Xiaoan played with the pistol in his hand and chuckled softly: "What for? Of course, to kill us, the savior."
Seeing this, Ai Yu's face darkened and he said no more: "Fighting Buddha Sun Wukong, Erlang Shen Zhenjun Yang Jian, enter the battle!"
"The Great Sage is here!"
"Yang Jian, I have come here at your call."
Yang Jian was sent to rescue Hua Jianzui, while Sun Wukong sprayed a fireball at Ai Yu, but unexpectedly failed to break the 000 ice.
000 released Ling Xiaoan, opened her arms, and felt a wind blowing from nowhere. She lifted her lips slightly, her pupils turning icy blue: "The end of the year brings the yin and yang of the world, and the frost and snow clear the cold nights."[1]
In an instant, a blizzard descended like a demon. The wind howled, snowflakes flew, and the world seemed a vast expanse. The sky was covered in white snow, the line between day and night blurred, and time seemed to stand still.
The world was blocked by this sudden snowstorm. Everything was silent except for the rustling sound of snowflakes falling to the ground.
