Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Spirit of Words
The white cat lay calmly on Lin Xi's dean's desk, and when he heard the old man say the word "dark night", he finally wagged his white tail and stood up with his back gracefully shrugged. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
It poked its head over as if no one was around, and gently licked two sips on the cup of cold tea that Lin Xi had drunk most of it, and then turned around to reveal a disgusted look: "Lin Xi, your taste for tea drinking is still outrageously low." β
The white cat's voice is warm and peaceful, like a wise man who has lived a long life.
But this is a very familiar white cat, which has been quietly purring slightly in Ye Qing's arms countless times.
Sage Xiao's former pet, Feng Ying didn't know when she appeared on this table, and only then did she speak leisurely.
"You were rewritten by Xiao on that princess." Lin Xi looked at it with ill intentions: "Although that princess is not in danger now, but what she did in Lan Ying's room this morning, you must already know." β
"If that boy really died somewhere we don't know, then she would really do something crazy."
"We have not seen his life." The white cat sat there and gently combed the hair on his face with his paws, and without opening his mouth, a sound wave echoed through the room: "But I have also not seen his death." β
Lin Xi frowned.
Yi Lanshan slowly spoke: "What does this mean?" β
"The boy named Ge Sheng is in a superposition of life and death." The white cat said slowly: "People don't even dare to observe him rashly. β
"Neither can a saint?" Yi Lanshan asked.
"The sage's wait-and-see view of the future is itself a disturbance of the future." Feng Ying explained.
It blinked its strange blue eyes and gently stretched its slender white body on the table: "Space is not my area of expertise. β
"So, even if that boy actually died there."
"That princess may know later that I am one of the few beings around her who is capable of rescuing me, and may be enraged by my inaction."
"But." The white cat replied softly in the negative. "I can't, or rather, even if those two living saints are in person, they may not be able to do better than that girl."
"What if the Moon Sage is still there?" Yi Lanshan asked.
"If the moon is resurrected." The white cat groaned, "That Sage may have a chance to give it a try. β
"Otherwise, no one in the world can say that they will be able to save those two children."
"At least you can try." Yi Lanshan looked at the white cat who was out of the way.
"Yes." The white cat nodded, "I can travel between planes without hindrance." β
"But there's no way I'm going to show up early."
"I exist in the trajectory of the stars, so I won't rush to disrupt it, and it's already a chess game in everyone's observation."
Its cat face showed a meaningful smile: "There was a saint who had already tried once, so he ended up dying here." β
At this point, the white cat suddenly stopped.
It glanced serenely at the void in front of it, curled up again, and fell asleep with its head covered.
Almost in the next moment, the red-haired, black-robed girl emerged from there.
Three Highnesses.
This time, she appeared, directly in the dean's office.
From the night before until this afternoon, the girl did not sleep, did not drink or eat.
Her beautiful and dream-like face is as pale as freshly dried plain paper at the moment, like ice and snow about to melt, and it will completely melt the next moment it touches the sun.
Even if it weren't for these characters who were already standing at the top of the world, it could be seen that this incredibly powerful girl was already weak and haggard to the brink of collapse.
So she no longer chose to show up in Yaota, because she knew that the people there would definitely dissuade her.
And she doesn't need these dissuasions.
She still didn't choose to give up.
"Dean, did you find it?" The girl looked at the white-haired old man and asked quietly, her voice like spring water in the moonlight.
She seemed unaware of the great fear she was facing.
After receiving Lin Xi's negative answer, she also did not have any change in expression.
She was just silent.
She had traversed several large planes, and her physical strength and will had been exhausted, but she had not made the slightest progress.
So she suddenly raised her head, and a slight black crack could be seen on her beautiful face under the black mage's hat, and she opened her mouth abruptly and asked the dean in front of her: "I." β
Lin Xi's eyes widened, and at this moment she guessed the question she was going to ask.
The next voice of the Third Highness followed.
"What's your name?"
Yi Lanshan's brows furrowed slightly, and Lin Xi replied calmly: "I don't know." β
The girl did not hesitate because of Lin Xi's answer, she continued to speak tenaciously and asked:
"Tell me."
Beads of sweat finally poured out on Lin Xi's forehead, and the old man seemed to be facing the ultimate choice one by one.
But then, the old man's head shook like a broken wave, and his expression was so sincere that he looked like a crowd who didn't know the truth.
"I really don't know."
The Third Highness was still expressionless, but she looked at the old man quietly and was about to speak.
A calm, warm voice rang out abruptly in the room.
A monophonic word is spoken.
"Shadow."
The white cat opened its eyes serenely, not speaking, but it gave the girl the answer she wanted.
"That's your name."
The red-haired girl nodded and quietly thanked the white cat.
Lin Xi was suddenly furious, the old man shook his white hair, like an angry lion, he looked at the cat coldly: "Do you really want to kill her?" β
The white cat shook his head indifferently, as calm as if he had just shaken off the milk on his beard: "I just, suddenly, I really wanted to speak." β
When Yi Lanshan heard this monophonic word, he thought of something that only existed in some forbidden books, and then he looked at the girl standing in the center of the room incredulously.
The strange Y shadow suddenly appeared in this room like ripples of water, and then spread out towards the world at a speed that surpassed all else.
In the center of the ripples, a red-haired girl in a black robe bows her head.
Her hands were quietly closed, her fiery red eyes were closed, and her lips, which were as white as white lotus petals, opened slightly, and characters spit out from them.
"Shadow."
Lin Xi looked at the girl in the center of the ripples, sighed, and never said a word again.
"Yes."
The girl seems to be saying a magical incantation, but the content of the incantation is incomparably simple.
"Found it."
The ripples spread out in circles, and the clear outline of the ripples could be seen in the distance, but at a little further they were as thin as dust, and the ripples spread little by little with her voice, all the way to the unknowable distance.
"Ge Sheng."
The moment when the word "kudzu" as an eye came out.
The girl's body suddenly cracked.
It was a white jade sculpture that had been struck with great force, countless crumbs fell, and the face as smooth as jade suddenly cracked countless deep lines.
The girl's expression was neither happy nor angry, but her aura weakened to the extreme at that moment.
"That's enough." Lin Xi said coldly.
But the girl was unmoved, she insisted, and the white lotus's lips were marked by dark shadows, but the last two words still came from there.
"Alive."
As the last character was issued, the girl's body completely collapsed.
It's like a drop of ink gently falling into the clear water and opening up.
The girl's body was like a fragile cloud of smoke, torn apart out of thin air, diffusing into a black mist in the air.
If no one identifies it, or even if it does, no one will believe that this mist was once a beautiful maiden.
"She's truly a masterpiece of this world." The white cat looked at the mist and sighed faintly:
"Changing the operation of the whole world with the words of one person makes even cats marvel."
Saying this, the white cat leisurely raised his left paw, and the ice jade-like hook claw popped out, and then flicked slightly in the air.
At that moment, Lin Xi and Yi Lanshan sensed at the same time that they had lost control of the space around them.
There is a great realm unfolding around them!
The invisible silk threads began to stretch in this space, connecting those broken Y shadows in a thousandth of a snap of a finger.
These silk threads are entangled, pulled, and urged them to reassemble and condense.
So in the next moment, the red-haired girl stood there again, she bowed her beautiful head to the white cat, and spoke again: "Thank you for your help." β
The white cat didn't accept the girl's thanks, and said lightly: "I just helped you speed up the recovery of your body, no need to say thanks." β
His Royal Highness nodded, satisfied with such an answer.
The wind as light as a cicada's wings dispersed again, and she, who had just regained her form, completely disappeared in the void again.
"Obviously there is no heart, no memory." The white cat looked at the slight phantom left behind after her disappearance, and sighed: "It is a miracle that she can still be so persistent in guarding." β
Yi Lanshan spoke quietly in the corner, he had remained completely silent in the previous conversation, and when the iron-faced man didn't speak, almost no one could notice his presence: "You and your master are both indifferent and affectionate, don't emphasize this point like us." β
The white cat's cat always seems to have an elusive smile on its face:
"I don't deny it."
