The ice-blue light dimmed, the healing process stopped, and the wounds on the White Night Fox's body gradually recovered, she used her spiritual power slightly, and a heart-piercing pain came from all over her body, and nine of the twelve veins could no longer be opened.

"What's the matter with my spiritual veins?" asked the White Night Fox coldly, not in the slightest grateful for Haiyun's help.

Haiyun retracted the heart of the ocean and explained: "This is already my limit, now you only have twenty percent spiritual power, and it is impossible to recover it in the future, unless you kill yourself." But I'm sure you won't let me down. ”

"You-" White Night Fox's perfect face was full of anger and gritted his teeth, but his current self was far from Haiyun's opponent.

"Don't worry, there are no psychics in Karn Town, and you are still the strongest in this world. Haiyun pointed to the surrounding cherry blossom trees and said, "Cherry Blossom Lane no longer exists, although your demon soul is suppressed here, you can freely enter and leave Karn Town. ”

"What do you mean?

Haiyun smiled, "Although there are no sorcerers in Karn Town, five hundred well-equipped knights can still fight you, so you will not be able to destroy the entire world like before." ”

"Even if I only have one vein, no one in this world is my opponent. ”

"I know, but don't you really want to live well?" Haiyun asked, "walking into the golden wheat field of Noah, smelling the fragrance of wild flowers, lying by the Bana River and looking up at the blue sky—"

"I—can I do it too?"

"Let the past be scattered with the wind, although what is in front of you is an illusion, but every day is life. Just like Xiaofeng, Ah Jing and Grandma, although they are not real, they are all living people in this world, they also have feelings, and they will feel pain when they are hurt. So, I need you to make a promise. ”

The White Night Fox looked at Haiyun silently, without saying a word, and his calm eyes were full of complex emotions. Haiyun couldn't fully read what was in her eyes: the joy of the rest of her life, the loss of power, and the relief that seemed to be more of a relief that no one in the world was born a demon, and that demons exist because the dark corners of people's hearts are exposed.

"Come on, it's getting dawn—"

"Indeed, the sun is coming out. Haiyun smiled, it was unimaginable that the beautiful woman in front of her was a devil wearing a white fox mask to seduce people's souls, and thousands of people died in her hands from generation to generation.

She didn't even expect that she would forgive this demon with blood on her hands and let her start anew.

Why is that?

Maybe it's just a sympathy—

Haiyun shrugged.

"You have to promise me - live well, and stop killing people. ”

"Why should I promise you?" the White Night Fox rolled his eyes.

"Because I saved you. ”

As soon as the words fell, at the moment when the first rays of sunlight fell, afterimages disappeared into the air.

"Don't go—" The White Night Fox whispered as he chased after the afterimage that had dissipated like a cloud.

But it was too late, and before she could say "I promise you", Haiyun had long since disappeared.

The White Night Fox stood on the ruins, repairing the White Fox Mask with the only two percent of his remaining strength, and held it tightly in his hands. The stars and the moon did not shed tears, and fell under the endless wheat fields to the northwest, the scent of flowers wafting in the breeze. This is not the fragrance of cherry blossoms in Cherry Blossom Alley, but from outside Cherry Blossom Alley, in the depths of memory, there seems to be such a scene: the flower girl pushes a wooden cart, loaded with a cart of beautiful flowers and stands on the street to sell.

The white night fox and the clouds disappeared into the sky, and the heart was empty.

"I haven't told you my name yet, my name is Dongfang Li. ”

[Once upon a time]

I don't know how long ago, there was an excellent puppeteer who spent his whole life studying how to make the most perfect puppet.

To this end, he travels the world in search of materials to make the perfect puppet.

Finally, he came to the boundary of the Ten Thousand Flowers Tide and found the material in his mind, that is, the flower demon that was just about to take shape.

The demon soul before the formation was injected into the puppet, and a new soul was born. But it is difficult for the soul to be coupled with the cold puppet, and the puppeteer did not give up, and after countless failures, he made the two most perfect puppets in his life.

They are a pair of natural sisters and have become well-deserved flower demons.

The puppeteer's surname was Dongfang, so she named her sister Dongfang Yao, and her sister Dongfang Li.

As fate would have it, the two sisters fell in love with this puppeteer at the same time. In order to fight for the puppeteer's heart, his sister accidentally killed him. Instead of blaming her sister, her sister used the exquisite skills given to her by the puppeteer to create two identical puppeteers. One for himself, the other for that broken sister.

Dongfang Li's deepest memory is the day when he felt the pain.

"Look, sister, I know how it hurts. Dongfang Li held the stitches in his hand and sucked on his wounds like a scholar.

Dongfang Yao's words made Ah Li's heart fall to the freezing point.

"It's just a needle prick, don't think you understand why!"

"I just get it. Dongfang said willfully.

Looking at her innocent sister, Dongfang Yao rolled her eyes: "A puppet is a puppet, do you have a human body temperature? Have you ever had a heartbeat? Have you smelled the fragrance of flowers? Can you see the color of the sky? Have you shed tears? Is there anyone in the world who loves you and is willing to leave for you?"

Dongfang Li shook her head, she didn't understand what her sister meant, but she remembered what her sister said.

【Until now】

The moment Dongfang Li put on the white fox mask and walked out of the cherry blossom alley that had become a ruin, he remembered what his sister said and smiled faintly.

"A puppet is a puppet, although there is no human body temperature, no heartbeat, but I have smelled the flowers, I can see the color of the sky, I have shed tears, and there are people who love me and are willing to leave for me. ”

This time, she has to keep the promise she made and live well with the wronged soul on her shoulders.

————

The sun illuminates the sleeping world, and an afterimage of thunder and lightning flies over the town of Karn, through the vast wheat fields of Noah, and the sea clouds come to the place where they have descended into this world, and the river Bana in the distance shimmers, and the breeze takes away the blood of the previous night.

Haiyun sighed, in the end, he still didn't make up his mind, obviously as long as he killed her, he could pass the test, but when he faced a person's life and death, he hesitated.

But she doesn't regret it, if the price of passing the test is to make others suffer in endless reincarnation, and let countless innocent beings bear everything they have gained.

"If that's the case, I'd rather not have this power. ”

Summoning an ice-blue spear, the tip of the spear glows in the sun, as long as you die, everything can end, how simple it is, no need to blame yourself, no need for others to bear the sin for yourself.

Experience death, like the White Night Fox, just sleep for a moment and wake up to Thunder Island.

Without any fluctuations in my heart, staring at the sun in the sky, for some reason the white clouds in the sky were as light as the marshmallows I ate when I was a child.

The moment before the cold flower gun pierced the heart, the skin felt the cold in advance. It only takes a few moments for the beauty to disappear, so be sure to keep your eyes open before you die.

Haiyun thinks so, I don't know if the White Night Fox will forget me.

She no longer has any regrets, the kind Grandma cleans the fallen petals on the floor of Cherry Blossom Alley, Ah Jing dances in the wind with a cane, blood and tears fall from the corners of her eyes, and the little wind that slaps the ice-blue ball at the end of the corridor, and this living Karn Town.

It's a false world, but it's really like you've been there.

I was ready to die, but I didn't expect that death was a long process, and the only thing I hoped for was that I didn't feel pain in the process.

The moment his heart beats, the ice-blue spear froze in his chest, and the Valkyrie, who had killed all sides last night, didn't even have the power to swing the spear.

Is it the fear of death that you can't do it?

It's not—

- A powerful force dragged the barrel of the gun, and no matter how hard he tried, the tip of the gun could not move forward.

Haiyun sighed, the bright sky reflected in her beautiful eyes.

In the sky was the smiling peerless beauty, dressed in a white dress and waist-length long black hair fluttering gently in the wind.

"Bernard?" Haiyun subconsciously said her name, and then put down the cold flower gun in her hand, it was a foolish act to commit suicide in front of Bernard, she would never let you get her wish.

Bernard put away his perfect smile and held a black ancient book in his hand, a dark holy book.

"You're smart enough to take the initiative to take back the Hanhua Spear. ”

"Even the White Night Fox is no match for Lord Bernard, let alone me?"

"You're welcome, for now I just want to ask you one question. Bernard said slowly, "Why don't you kill the White Night Fox?"

"I don't think that's necessary. ”

"Killing the White Night Fox is the test of the second layer, and if you don't kill her, you can't enter the third layer of the Phantom Thunder Tower. ”

"So what?"

"She is a demon who has done countless bad things in her life and has been sealed in the Dark Sacred Scriptures, and she doesn't need to feel guilty about killing her. ”

"Lord Bernard is such a cold man. Haiyun lay on the soft wheat field and leisurely looked at Bernard Road in the sky.

"Whatever you say, I didn't expect you to kill yourself to spare her life - Your Highness Princess, are you too kind?"

"She has been severely injured by me, and her current strength is less than 20%, and she cannot pose a threat to this world. ”

"Do you think you can save her?" Bernard said with a vague expression, "The second to eighth floors are the realm of my dark scriptures, and all the worlds are under my control, and I want the White Night Fox to die for a moment longer—"

"You-" Haiyun clenched his fists, and his strong spiritual power burst out from the heart of the ocean, and the wheat field within nearly a hundred meters actually lowered his head.

Bernard was unimpressed by this sudden burst of spiritual power, "Why do you want to challenge me? But, Your Highness Princess, can you beat me?"

"No, you can't. Haiyun replied simply, knowing the gap between herself and Bernard.

That's an existence comparable to Yatina, who is one of the pillars of the Six Nations, I'm afraid that even Claude's clone is not sure of victory.

But the ice-blue light did not dissipate, but became more dazzling.

"I know I'm far from being your opponent, but if Lord Bernard wants to kill the White Night Fox, I'll fight you to the end. ”

"Do you think that if you defeat the White Night Fox, you will be qualified to challenge me?"

"I'm not your opponent, but I just want to show my attitude: if you want to kill the White Night Fox, kill me first-"

A strange smile appeared at the corner of Bernard's mouth, mocking with puzzle.

"Why, Lord Bernard, who is so powerful, would hesitate?" Haiyun said playfully, "Didn't you just beat us like killing an ant?"

"Is there one?"

Of course, don't think it's polite for you to smile all the time. ”

"Interesting. Bernard covered his mouth and smiled.

"What's interesting? I'm serious—"

"You're the first person to dare to talk to me like that, not even Yatina. ”

"So what?"

"I changed my mind and let Dongfang leave that guy alone. Bernard said.

"Who is Dongfang Li?"

"Dongfang Li is the white night fox in your mouth. ”

"Her name is Dongfang Li?" Haiyun looked surprised.
