Chapter 350

"When are you going to tell Senior Sister Xiaohai about the Ice Ocean Goddess and these things about her reincarnation and successor candidates? Five days after her first meeting with Shirayuki, who had returned to Falling Sound, Eco found Shirayuki again and asked her the above question.

The day after his last meeting with Shirayuki, Headmaster Elfa approached Echo and asked her what she thought about the inheritance of the goddess, and Eco cooperated with her advice to Alpha, her questions to Whitesnow, and her answers.

Alpha frowned when he heard Bai Xue's answer, which he was not satisfied with. However, just as Alpha was about to ask Eco to persuade Shirayaki again, Eco refused.

"Eco, can you go to Baixue to run again......" Alpha's words were not finished, and Echo, who had been in contact with Alpha for a while, understood what he wanted to say, so he ......

Eco refused—"Headmaster, I don't want to persuade Bai Xue anymore. "Eco knew that Alpha had all kinds of dissatisfaction with Xiaohai in his heart, so he didn't have to wait for Alpha to finish speaking, Echo understood that Alpha was trying to persuade Bai Xue not to sacrifice himself. However, after solving the confusion and knowing the reason why Bai Xue chose to sacrifice herself without hesitation, Eco no longer wants to hinder and interfere with Bai Xue's choice. So, this time Eco rejected Alpha's request.

Glancing at Eco in surprise, Alpha asked confusedly, "Why?"

Eco: "Heir to the Goddess of the Ice Ocean...... This is something that can only be decided by them as heirs...... We are all outsiders. Eco still has the second half of the sentence that he didn't say, that is, "Since you are an outsider, you shouldn't meddle too much in the affairs between them."

After hearing Eco's words. Alpha who understands what she wants to say. After a moment of froze. Only then did he sigh and said, "Maybe it's been too long since I felt the 'fireworks in the world'...... I don't seem to have thought about this kind of thing. ”

"Okay. Elfa shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't interfere in the affairs between them anymore...... Because such things cannot be shaken in the name of so-called 'righteousness'. ”

―――――――――――――― dividing line

And on the fourth day after the meeting with Eco, there was also a conversation between Shirayuki and Rishi.

"When are you going to go down to the sea to explain this, Your Highness Shirayuki?" Rishi asked Shirayuki, sitting beside her, "You are the heir recognized by the goddess. You must know that, right? Recently, His Highness Hai's body has started to weaken?"

After hearing Rishi's words, Bai Xue, who had an ugly face, said in a dissatisfied tone, "Yes...... Didn't you say that Xiao Hai still had five years to live? Then why did she get sick so quickly? If it weren't for you saying that Xiao Hai might get sick, I wouldn't have rushed back in such a hurry!" From now on, her body will only get weaker and weaker until it ends.

"There are two reasons for this; The current Highness Hai has abandoned his cultivation because of love...... Compared to you, His Highness Hai's soul is already more broken. And this mutilation will lead to a faster weakening if the energy she gets from nature is not enough. Second. If you are not within a certain range of her, she will weaken faster because she does not feel your breath. Originally, I proposed the judgment of 'about five years'. It's because I judged from your cultivation at that time that you cultivated with His Highness Hai to have that kind of cultivation. So I used to estimate how long Her Highness Hai could hold out based on the scenario of 'you are by her side'. In the face of Bai Xue's questioning, Rishi said calmly, "Bing' and 'Yang' are synonymous with the goddess, but the power of the goddess is innate, and 'Bingyang' is her inherent attribute and is one...... But you and Your Highness are incomplete and missing a copy each. If you can't feel the breath of the other person to get a basic 'harmony', you won't live long...... And according to you, this is the longest time you've been away from her, and the only time you've been away from her for more than a year. ”

"I can give an inappropriate example to my second point: the cactus can survive in arid environments, and generally does not dry up to death after a short period of water break, but it does not really survive without water. Finally, Rishi said.

"What?!" Before Rishi's words could be finished, Bai Xue immediately grabbed Rishi's collar and asked angrily, "Since you know that after I leave Xiaohai, she will weaken early, why don't you explain this consequence to me?"

Rishi replied indifferently, "Because you are obviously the one who is really suitable to become the second goddess, but you are not willing to become the successor of the goddess...... Then I can only find a reason for you to have to 'make up' in advance. In this way, His Highness will also have more time to master the power of the goddess...... I will follow the will of the Goddess and let you finally 'complete'. ”

After hearing Rishi's words, Bai Xue glared at Rishi angrily, clenched her fists, and opened her mouth to say something...... However, at the same time, she also seemed to think of something, so she quickly suppressed her anger and just scolded in a low voice. And whispered to himself: "Well, from your standpoint, as the last commission given to you by the previous goddess, it is indeed understandable that you would want to do this, right?"

And Rishi, who heard Bai Xue's self-talk, also replied unceremoniously: "It's not that I didn't advise you, but you really didn't do a good job at this point of the 'Goddess Heir'...... At the same time, I also have my responsibilities. This is a matter that cannot be changed. Therefore, if I am dissatisfied with you in the performance of my duties, you can complain and resent me. ”

"The resentment is enough, I can still see your respect for me. Hearing Rishi's use of the word "resentment", Bai Xue's tone relaxed, and she said to Rishi, "I see, but I hope that at least for this last moment, you can stop interfering with the few of us...... Is that okay?"

After a few moments of silence, Rishi replied, "As you wish." ”

"That's fine, thank you, Rishi. You can tolerate the willfulness of me, a completely unqualified heir. After hearing Rishi's words, Bai Xue breathed a sigh of relief, then walked out of the room, and continued, "I'll go and explain these things to Xiaohai now...... I'm sorry. ”

Sitting on the stool in the room, Rishi came to the window after Bai Xue left the room, and then looked at Bai Xue's back as she left, and she said softly, "I'm sorry, I don't need to say it...... And it's true that I won't interfere with things between you anymore...... But I still deceived you, so I should say I'm sorry. ”

"It's just that this qiē is the will of the goddess......"

―――――――――――― dividing line

Half an hour later.

"It's okay, Xiaohai...... I'm not here to see you because I want to meet an old friend...... Now, it's only been a long time, but you should feel it, right? It's slow, but your body is really getting weaker?"

"What!!......! How do you know? I haven't ...... yet."

"Didn't you tell anyone about it? Well, but I'm sorry, but your body is actually weak...... That's because of me, right?"

“...... What?!" (To be continued......)
