Chapter 249: Farewell to the Immeasurable Heavenly Realm
Having regained his body, he was taken to the house of the owner of Green Fence Island, Hua Fei, for treatment. After examination, Hua Yu found that the several external injuries caused by the fragments of the Kun Mirror were not serious, but some of the sequelae caused by the long-term separation of the soul needed to be slowly recuperated in the future.
Ouyang Xueye instructed others to retrieve the flowers on the antlers of many Bauhinia Elk from Bauhinia Island, and give them to Hua Fei, who then prepared them as honey pills for the Conservation Spirit. Seeing that the extraordinary way was still very weak, the situation had basically stabilized, and everyone was relieved.
The Extraordinary Dao was still in a state of lethargy, and occasionally when he woke up, he would explain some things to Ouyang Xueye, first of all, the disposition of the Immeasurable Walker and their captain Chen Ge, and wait for him to recover before discussing it separately; In addition, for the souls who have made great contributions in this battle, Ouyang Xueye is solely responsible for rewarding them; Finally, there is the matter of summer and autumn.
Because of the key role she played in the whole operation and her help to the Extraordinary Dao, the Extraordinary Dao ordered the Carefree Holy Child to send her out of the Immeasurable Heavenly Realm the next day in a soul ship. This time, she left as one of the heroes who had made great contributions to the Infinite Heavenly Realm, and no longer had to break through the waterfall barrier to escape from this world. Despite her best efforts, the Souls wanted to hold a simple farewell ceremony for her on the eve of her departure, as well as a celebration of victory in the battle.
Finally, the ceremony was held on Bauhinia Island the next day, and for many of the islands, especially the souls of the dead on Chizhao Island, it was the first time they had landed on Bauhinia Island. The well-trained souls who were temporarily mobilized from Blue Lotus Island set up tents in the open field under the Purple Cloud Residence under the leadership of the Elk Fairy, and countless food and wine were placed on the long tables under these tents, and the shelves of the tents were full of colorful small lights, and animals such as spirit horses and other animals that freely shuttled in the middle of the empty field, making the atmosphere here extremely dreamy.
Xia Qiu didn't prepare any gorgeous clothes after coming to the Infinite Heavenly Realm, before the ceremony began, she only freshened up a little and planned to go to the banquet, but as soon as she was about to go outside the house, someone knocked on the door.
Jade Cicada appeared in front of her with a satin bag in one hand and a large carved wooden box in the other. When he saw the door opened, he rushed in, panting for breath while piling his things into the chair by the window.
She casually picked up the teacup on the table in the room, and didn't care that it was used by Xia Qiu, so she raised her head and drank it all, and then said, "Quickly take off the clothes you are wearing!" ”
"Huh?" Xia Qiu was taken aback by her sudden words, and looked up at her in confusion.
"This is a farewell party for you, so you need to dress up a little to show respect for the souls who have come to attend!" Without saying a word, Jade Cicada began to unbutton her clothes.
When I saw the jade cicada before, I wasn't very familiar with it, so I didn't know that she still had such a pungent side. She carefully bypassed the wounds on her body and changed her into the dress in the satin bag, which was a brand new dress, because she felt that the lotus lotus color was not so suitable for her, so she left it undressed, and now she finally found someone who really fits the dress.
In the carved wooden box she brought with her, there was rouge gouache and a few accessories that she felt were worthy of this dress, and after helping Xia Qiu to dress up carefully, even Jade Chan herself felt bright.
"Is it pretty?" Xia Qiu looked at herself in the mirror with a touch of rouge and lip gloss and asked.
She recalled the last time she was dressed so exquisitely was the day she had a date with Ouyang Xiaoleng before going to Chi Mire, at that time she had heard the black prophecy from the stone demon Yanming about her imminent death, and she held the belief that even if she died, she would help Ouyang Xiaoleng to the last moment, and walked side by side with him on the commercial street, as if it happened yesterday.
"Of course it's good-looking, and I don't see who chose it!" Jade Cicada replied with a smile, and then helped her straighten her skirt, "Okay, it's time for the protagonist to appear!" ”
Xia Qiu and Jade Cicada landed under the Purple Cloud Residence together, and the first to greet her were Eagle Yan, Dragonfly and Huixing, three spirit horses stood side by side, Huixing stood in the center, and they saluted the two girls elegantly with their foreheads under their foreheads at the same time. At this time, it seems that although the height of Huixing is not as high as that of Diaoyan, it is already about to catch up with the dragonfly.
Behind the three spirit horses was a big head with a bandage on his arm, his arm was injured because Xia Qiu arrived in time to save a life, the moment he saw her, his eyes were full of tears, and he deeply blamed himself for his selfishness and vacillation.
The two rows of revenant souls in the back formed a passage, reaching Ouyang Xueye's side at the front, and she and Jade Cicada walked all the way forward, constantly greeting the familiar, even unfamiliar revenants. Ouyang Xueye stood at the end of the line with a bouquet of flowers in her hand, which was very Taoist for him to give to Xia Qiu instead of herself.
She took the flower from his hand, and a big smile spread on her face, and the fragrance of the flower filled the air, which made her mood happy. She wanted to enjoy what was in front of her and not what might happen tomorrow.
This night, she accompanied Jade Cicada, Datou, Worry-Free Holy Child, and even Chang Mingzi and Jinshan to drink a glass of wine, and finally when it was her turn to clink glasses with Ouyang Xueye, her whole person was already shaky and unstable. Jade Cicada also stood beside her, and she became more daring than usual after drinking the same wine, staring at Ouyang Xueye's face without blinking, thinking that Ouyang Xiaoleng in more than ten years should be what he is now, right?
"Handsome guys are so popular no matter where they are, and there are always beautiful women around them, unlike us!" Naruko walked over and joked with Jinsugi beside her.
"Hey, how about us? I guess I'm a handsome guy, right?! Jin Shan retorted with a dissatisfied expression, causing Xia Qiu and them to laugh.
Ouyang Xueye shook her head helplessly at Jinshan, then turned to Xia Qiu and said, "Xia Qiu, tomorrow is the day you leave here, but the spirit of that purple-pupil demon monster has probably escaped back to the soul leaving realm, I'm worried that he will be unfavorable to you!" ”
"Actually, I'm a little scared to go back to the Soul Realm again, but I still have to go back, because only by going back there can I go back to my own world." Xia Qiu responded calmly.
"Well, as long as there is still an opportunity, you must seize it! It's nice to be back with your loved ones! Ouyang Xue took a sip of the wine in the cup and cast her eyes into the distance.
Xia Qiu heard the regret in his tone, life and death brought him and his loved one to two parallel lines that could never meet, and they could only miss each other from afar.
The memories of the rest of the night were spent in singing and laughing. And the graceful dance of the jade cicada was so memorable no matter what, Xia Qiu watched her every movement intently, and the expressions on the faces of the souls who admired her dancing as much as herself. They no longer care if they are from different islands, even the souls of the dead on Chizhao Island are embracing the souls of Bauhinia Island, no matter what they have done in their lifetimes, they are all heroes now, and at the same time, they have long become companions.
Xia Qiu couldn't quite remember when she was back in bed, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already early the next morning. She couldn't help but lie on this bed for a while, because it would be the last time she would lie here. When she finished packing her simple bags and walked to the platform downstairs, she found that Xiao Libai had been picked up by Ouyang Xueye.
It looked a little more recovered and energetic than yesterday, and as soon as it saw Xia Qiu, it got up from the table and shook the hair on its body, and then flew towards her.
"Watch out for your injuries!" Xia Qiu hugged it distressedly.
She had actually planned to leave Xiao Libai in the Infinite Heaven Realm, firstly because there were still many dangers hidden in the Soul Separation Realm, and secondly because she would leave there after all, if that was the case, in the end, that world would be left alone.
I don't know if it's because she has a premonition that she wants to keep herself, or because of her own pain, Xiao Libai snuggled in Xia Qiu's arms all morning, and always observed her every movement. Until the Sanssouci Holy Child came to Ziyunju to pick her up, she didn't have a chance to put it down.
But no matter what, the separation will come eventually. Although she was reluctant, she could only kiss its forehead one last time, rubbed its little nose, and then ruthlessly handed it over to Ouyang Xueye. Its humming sound heart-wrenching, like a choked child, but its eyes were filled with tears, and so did she.
"Are you sure you didn't take it with you?" Ouyang Xueye looked at Xia Qiu and Xiao Libai, who were reluctant to rely on each other, and asked.
"Hmm!" She nodded, and then said to Ouyang Xueye and Elk Immortal with a forced smile, "Teacher, Elk Fairy, I'm leaving!" ”
The elk fairy handed her the bow and arrow she used, and Ouyang Xue Ye didn't speak, just smiled with the elk fairy and watched her leave. She deliberately didn't ask them to take her to the place where the boats of the Sanssouci Holy Child docked by the lake, because then the atmosphere would seem too heavy. But the jade cicada and the big head were still waiting near the shore of the lake early, and as soon as they saw Xia Qiu and the Sanssouci Holy Child, they waved their hands vigorously.
"This is a letter to the three of you, remember that you can open it when you have left the realm!" Jade Cicada handed Xia Qiu a letter, which she had written after hesitation, and the envelope had the names of Xia Qiu, Ouyang Xiaoleng, and Qianqi.
"Good!" Xia Qiu took it and put the letter in it.
"Although the island owner, Lord Ouyang Xueye, and the others kept their promise to keep the secret for me all the time, it can't change the fact that I once provided information to that monster. My brother Daifuku was probably captured by that monster and left his soul, I know...... I've betrayed your trust in me, and I'm not in a position to ask you for anything more, but if you hear about my brother in the Soul Realm, please help him! Big Head pleaded.
This was the first time Xia Qiu had heard that the big head had betrayed them, and although she was a little surprised in her heart, she still agreed to his plea. She boarded Sanssouci Child's boat, and then went with him to the platform in the middle of the lake where the Soul Ship docked. Although she had carefully looked at the scenery of the Infinite Heavenly Realm along the way, she still took a deep look in the direction of Bauhinia Island before entering the Soul Relief Ship.
"Are you ready to go?" The Sanssouci Holy Child leaned out of the small door of the Soul Relief Boat and asked Xia Qiu on the platform.
"Hmm!"
Xia Qiu turned around and walked into the small door, but at the same time as she entered the soul ship, a small white figure also rushed in.
"It seems that this little guy is still reluctant to give up on you!" The Carefree Holy Child looked at Xiao Libai, who had fallen into Xia Qiu's arms, and shook his head helplessly, and then closed the hatch of the Soul Relief Ship with his hand.
