Chapter 115 Li'er
Chapter 115 Li'er
And so, as Xia Li pondered and Yu Yang felt uneasy, they arrived in front of a statue.
The statue is exactly what Ah Xue looked like when she was five years old, and it is a lifelike, exquisitely sculpted one-to-one with the real person.
Xia Li had once "been" her mother, so upon seeing her, she couldn't help but go up to her and stroke the child's hair; her maternal love was overflowing like a flood.
Just then, a male voice rang out: "Li'er..."
Xia Li was very familiar with this voice:
"Elder?"
"It's me." The letter emerged from the shadows.
His eyes were red-rimmed, and his voice was slightly hoarse as he asked, "Li'er, I really know I was wrong. I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?"
"I'm sorry, I am not your Li'er." The implication is that she cannot forgive you on her behalf.
"Li'er, it's been a thousand years, and you still won't forgive me?" Xin looked at her sadly.
"..."
He wanted to go up and take her hand.
Yu Yang swiftly pulled her behind him, staring into Xin's gloomy eyes: "This is my woman. Your woman has been killed by you."
Seeing her beloved being held in another man's arms, and her seemingly unconcerned expression, caused her immense pain.
The wind howled around them, and Xin's eyes began to turn bloodshot, emanating an aura of demonic power.
Having spent half her previous life dealing with demonic people, Xia Li could tell at a glance that this person had fallen into demonic possession. She scolded, "He has fallen into demonic possession, don't provoke him."
Yu Yang was taken aback, but still said firmly, "No, you are my woman."
Xia Li was a little anxious: "Those who are possessed by demons will not recognize their own family and will kill blood."
She was truly exasperated with this sixth brother; when did he start getting jealous?
"He deserves to die. We are cultivators; dealing with a barbarian is a piece of cake for us."
Upon hearing this, Xia Li fell silent, seemingly agreeing.
The people of the tribe were a group of ancient savages. They were just stronger than ordinary people, and some of them could cultivate divine power and magical power.
"Ah ah ah ah ah……"
The conversation between the two successfully provoked Xin to completely lose his mind, and he brandished the knife in his hand and slashed at them.
Just as the letter was about to strike, snowflakes began to fall around them.
This is a sealed room, where did the snowflakes come from?
"Daddy."
The clear, crisp child's voice immediately caught the attention of everyone present.
They saw the stone statue suddenly emit a warm white light, and then Ah Xue's figure gradually detached from the stone statue.
She walked towards the letter, tugged at the hem of the other person's clothes, and gently shook it.
"Father, it's me, Xue'er! Father, Xue'er wants a hug! Father, we've gathered Mother's soul together, and Mother has successfully entered reincarnation. Father..."
After Ah Xue comforted him for a while, the crimson in Xin's eyes faded and gradually returned to clarity.
She said to the two of them, "I'm so sorry to have startled you. His obsession is to see his mother one more time, so he has been here for a thousand years." Me too.
Xin also said, "I'm sorry... Ali is a descendant of the Goddess of the Night. I have been scattered by the power of the curse and am now just a remnant soul. I was also tainted by demonic energy while reshaping Xue'er's soul, so I'm afraid I won't live much longer. This dagger is Ali'er's destined weapon. Please give it to her for me."
Xia Li's gaze drifted into the distance, her voice sounding both near and far, as if she were speaking, yet also as if someone else were saying it: "I can't accept it. She didn't choose to leave during her most painful time because she still had close relatives, friends, and her daughter to hold her back. But you killed her daughter, leaving her with no will to live. She will never forgive you. Even her things, if you've touched them, she'll consider them dirty."
“Please do your best, no matter what. All my clansmen were wiped out back then. I was fortunate enough to be protected by my ancestors and was able to keep a remnant of my soul, but now I can no longer leave this place. Take everything in this secret room as a thank you gift. I only ask that you pass on my apology. If you can’t find it… then I’ll give it to you.”
"No, Xue'er said she has already been reincarnated. How am I supposed to find her?" Xia Li was also getting impatient. Influenced by A Li's memories, she disliked this stubborn person very much.
"Please accept this, Mother. Please allow me to call you that just this once," Ah Xue said sadly from the side.
Memories of the past flooded back, and Xia Li quickly adopted the role of the saintess. "For Xue'er's sake, I'll reluctantly agree to this once."
After saying that, she looked at Ah Xue, her eyes filled with tears, and gently stroked Ah Xue's hair and face: "I'm sorry..."
"Mother, you haven't wronged Xue'er. It's Xue'er who has trapped you. Mother, I'm sorry..."
"No, child, it is I who should apologize. This matter is a thorn in my heart. I named you Blood so that I could remember this blood feud, but thankfully you are a girl, so I changed it to Snow. It's good that it was changed, Snow is such a good name, clean and pure. My Snow, you will always be your mother's precious treasure... I have always felt guilty that I shouldn't have let you bear my hatred. You are just a simple child, you should have grown up carefree, how could you be so obedient and sensible, so sensible that you would sacrifice your own soul to exchange for your mother's freedom... Your mother is so sorry."
She cried uncontrollably, truly heartbroken to part with her sweet little girl.
Having experienced pregnancy and childbirth from a first-person perspective, her gaze towards Ah Xue was filled with deep affection.
Ah Xue asked expectantly, "Then, will Mother go with us to be reincarnated?"
Xia Li was immediately speechless: "This..."
With maternal love,
But not many.
"Hehehe..." The little one laughed happily, as if she had forgotten her previous sadness. She leaned close to Xia Li and whispered, "Mother, thank you for bringing me into this world. It's just a pity that Father only managed to restore me a little bit after a thousand years. I can't be with you in this life. See you in the next life."
Xia Lixin suddenly felt empty. Some things were already beginning to take shape, but she didn't want to think about them. However, she still forced a smile.
"I'm very happy to be your mother."
"Mother, Father and I are both remnant souls. If we don't leave soon, we'll probably disappear from the world."
Xia Li nodded, tears welling in her eyes as she watched her Xue'er drift further and further away until she disappeared from sight.
Only one last sentence lingered in the air: "Everything here originally belonged to you."
As the words fell, the sculpture exploded with a loud "bang!"
Rumbling--
Then came the sound of the mechanism starting up, and soon a large circular pit, two meters wide, appeared around the sculpture.
After exchanging a glance, Yu Yang said, "Let me go ahead and scout it out. You can come down once it's clear there's no danger."
Xia Li glanced at him and agreed: "Okay."
Yu Yang dodged and jumped into the pit.
Bang!
