Chapter 9: Starfall's Tears

"Satsuki!"

Qianling glides slowly down from the cherry tree, her white dress fluttering gently in the wind, her wings dyed with the afterglow of the setting sun, glowing with golden red. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

She held a small stick with a soft cloud of candy floating on it.

"I searched for a long time...... Huh?" she looked at the young man on the gravel path below, and she showed a surprised expression.

"Linchuan?"

The young man looked up and saw her, smiled brightly, threw the long sword in his hand, and opened his arms as if waiting for a hug to be reunited after a long absence:

"Xiaolingβ€”"

The girl flew straight over his head with wings and landed lightly in front of the silver-haired boy.

"What's going on?"

The blood splashed on the path made her heart tremble, and in shock, she nervously stepped forward to investigate Satsuki's situation.

"Satsuki, are you alright?" she half-crouched down in front of him, looking at him worriedly.

"It's fine. He silently watched as she straightened out his wrinkled clothes, and the corner of his eyes swept to the depressed young man, a mocking smile on the corner of his lips.

"There was a thug fight here just now...... No, it's bloody. "Linchuan is serious.

"Fight?!" Qianling's eyes widened.

She just left for a while, how could this happen.

β€œ...... You didn't bully Satsuki, did you?" she looked at him with some confusion.

"Who would dare to bully him so strong......" he muttered quietly.

"We get along well, don't we, little ghost?" he looked at him meaningfully.

Xiao Yue looked at him coldly and did not speak.

"Xiao Yue, this is Lin Chuan, the current captain of the Tianshui Gate Guard, he helped us a lot before. Qianling pulled him to Linchuan.

"Linchuan, this is Xiaoyue, and the child I brought back that day was him. ”

Lin Chuan looked at him and nodded: "I know." ”

This eye-catching silver hair, as well as that beautiful face that is a little too pretty, is indeed impressive.

"Xiaoling, you really picked up something amazing this time. His voice was low, as if he were talking to himself.

"It's getting late, it's time to go back. Linchuan, are you with us too?"

"I'm not in a hurry, I think it's all like you, and I can't find the way when it's dark...... It hurts, it hurts!" he muttered as he dodged her fist, and the plump and huge white feathers behind him spread out and the whole person quickly rose into the air.

"Remember to invite me for a drink next time!" he waved his hand.

Qianling stuck out her tongue at his back.

The sun was setting on the horizon, and the sky was darkening.

Standing at the gate of the garden party, Qianling reluctantly turned her head.

Although there are still many places I haven't visited, this trip was quite enjoyable.

She leaned down and picked up Satsuki.

"Satsuki, shall we come back next time?"

He held the box containing the badge in his hand and answered in a daze.

Tiredness set in, and he snuggled up on her shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

A small palm glowed.

As the day of mourning approached, the garden party was followed by various activities of Ellen Is.

White bouquets adorn windowsills, gardens, rooftops, and streets, and the city is covered in silver, as if winter had arrived early.

Night.

The stars are shining.

The lights went out on the streets, and the shops were closed one by one.

The music stopped, and the fountain no longer sprayed water.

Ellens fell silent, fading all splendor and all joy.

It's silent.

The bell of the early morning rang and echoed over the entire Ellenis.

People dressed in white robes and holding candles stand under the stars in the night breeze.

The white dress blows in the night breeze.

Qianling looked up at the starry sky, her short maroon hair fluttering over her shoulders.

She held Satsuki in one hand and a silver candle that had not yet been lit in the other.

On the streets, in front of houses, in squares, people in white robes stood quietly.

The white feathers trembled lightly in the night wind.

During the three minutes of silence, the whole of Ellens fell silent.

It's like sinking to the bottom of the water,

Bitter bubbles rise.

The bell rang again, deep and low, as if from a distant time and space.

The silent night breeze echoed for a long time, refusing to disperse.

The silence ended, and people gently opened their eyes.

One after another, countless small points of light appeared in the darkness.

Qianling's fingertips lit up slightly, and a small white halo appeared.

With a light touch on the silver candle wick, the golden-red candle flame quietly ignited, trembling slightly in her palm.

She leaned down and handed him the silver candle.

He looked up at her, a little confused.

"Satsuki, do you know? Legend has it that the people who have passed away will turn into stars and return to the Milky Way, and their souls will never be extinguished in the bright sea of stars, becoming a part of the night sky, forever watching and waiting for their loved ones. ”

The candlelight flickered like fluttering teardrops.

"This candle has a nice name, it's called 'Tears of the Stars'. If you have anything you want to say, or you can wish for it, you can make a promise to it, and it will pass on your heart to people far away. ”

He looked at her, silver lashes hanging slightly.

"I have no wishes. ”

"It's okay to say something, like...... Mom and Dad?" she said tentatively.

"Do you have a wish?" he asked.

"Me?" she froze.

Liao Yuan's vast sea of stars, the stars are shining, crystal bright, like tears in the night sky.

She smiled lightly, "Of course there is." ”

More and more candles are lit, and thousands of small points of light converge like a flowing galaxy.

The light suddenly rose.

Twelve holy lights in the night sky lit up from the twelve floating islands, spreading a circle of ripples in the air.

It was the light of the twelve holy angels.

In the distance, the brightest light spread out from the direction of the temple, illuminating the entire night sky, and even the stars became dim.

Shrouded in light,

brilliance scorching,

At that moment, the whole of Ellen was as bright as day.

Wherever the holy light reached, the creatures near the Star Spirit Lake couldn't help but raise their heads and let out a long, low whimper.

It was a sense of reverence that rose from the depths of the soul.

Qianling stood beneath the sea of stars, and the starlight illuminated the side of her face.

She looked at the starry sky, her amber eyes full of starlight:

"I hope that the dead will rest in peace, and the living will be cherished and happy. A flash of sadness flashed from her eyes, like a meteor sliding down the night sky.

She looked down at him and smiled softly.

A hand rubbed his soft silver hair.

"I also hope that Xiaoyue can live happily and grow up happily in the future. One day you will grow white and plump wings, and your world will no longer be just this small Tianshui area, you will be strong enough to protect yourself. She smiled, her eyes flashing, "Satsuki is so powerful, maybe she can become a holy angel when she grows up." ”

Looking at her smiling face, the hand that gently rubbed his head was so warm, and he lost his mind a little for a moment.

The candlelight flickered in the palm of his hand.

He closed his eyes slightly.

The candlelight flickered, and the light suddenly broke away from the wick of the candle, like a small dandelion, slowly rising and merging into the thousands of lights in the night sky.

"What did you wish?" she leaned in curiously to him.

"Secret. He smiled.

Seeing his smiling face, she was stunned for a moment, and then pounced on him like a nymphomaniac and hugged him and rubbed it.

"Xiao Yue actually smiled at me! I didn't see it clearly just now, so let's laugh again!" she leaned in front of him, her eyes wide open, as if she was afraid of missing an expression.

He shook his head helplessly.

After a few minutes, it changed back to its original form.

"It's beautiful. ”

She looked up at the starry sky, and the candlelight of countless "tears of the stars" slowly rose, and the light was scorching.

Satsuki stood beside her, quietly staring at her face, which shimmered in the starlight.

Silver eyelashes droop,

The light in his eyes dimmed.

You're clear,

Never asked me anything.
