Chapter 165 To untie the bell, one must tie it
“No, sister.” Fu Qiu pushed Fu Ran away, her expression firm yet sorrowful: “If the human world continues like this, I’m afraid one day I will lose you.”
Fu Qiu did not tell Fu Ran everything that happened in the dream; some things should remain his own secret.
But that dream was so real, so real that it didn't seem like a dream. Even the pain was so real that he still feels lingering fear.
Regardless of the future of the human world, even if it's just to eliminate an unwanted threat, Fu Qiu will be on high alert.
"Little brother, what exactly... have you been through?" Fu Ran looked at her younger brother, who had almost never disobeyed her, and for a moment she felt that she couldn't understand him.
"I just wanted to change our future." Fu Qiu sighed softly. "Back then, I thought that with the power of the Fairy of Light, I could protect my sister, but I failed and couldn't obtain the power of light."
"But my sister once said that we are the only twins in the fairy realm. Our power, which was already full of pain, has been greatly weakened. Sooner or later, only one of us will survive."
"Sister, if possible, I hope you can live. I will take this filthy human world with me and disappear." Fu Qiu said, turning to look at Fu Ran, a rare, not-so-beautiful smile appearing on his pale face.
"That way, my sister won't have to live like this anymore, barely clinging to life..."
……
Shui Qingli remained silent in the shadows, but listening to Fu Qiu's words, a strange emotion arose in his heart.
The dream Fu Qiu saw was actually of the near future—Shui Qingli was certain of this, after all, he was the longest-living fairy after the apocalypse in his previous life, witnessing too much sorrow and separation, and Fu Qiu's dream was specially made by Meng Yi.
Although Fu Qiu was a pawn that didn't play a significant role in Shui Qingli's life and could only cause trouble for the human world, his experiences made Shui Qingli think deeply.
If such a day ever comes, and he faces the same choice as Fu Qiu, what should he do?
Seeing Fu Qiu and Fu Ran's plight, Qianqian couldn't help but sigh.
Some fates cannot be changed; after all, the place where it began must also end. The one who tied the knot must untie it.
……
"No, I can't lose you no matter what!" Fu Ran grabbed Fu Qiu's arm, her expression sorrowful. "Brother, what's the point of me just surviving in this world without you?"
Fu Ran's reaction was expected, after all, everyone knows the kind of bond between the siblings who value each other's lives more than their own.
“Sister…” Fu Ran’s expression probably stung Fu Qiu, and his emotions finally stabilized a lot: “Then sister must promise me that you won’t leave me alone!”
“…Okay.” Seeing that Fu Qiu was wavering, Fu Ran immediately agreed.
Anyway, if that day really comes, she definitely can't just let her younger brother disappear like that.
“Let’s go back.” Fu Ran was afraid that Fu Qiu would act impulsively again, so she pulled him toward the Lingxi Gate, which was still open. “If it weren’t for Princess Ling’s help this time, I would have lost you forever. When we return to the fairyland later, let’s go and thank her together.”
"Okay." Fu Qiu didn't say much more. Not everyone has the courage to face death, nor does everyone have the courage to leave their loved ones.
After Fu Qiu and Fu Ran returned to the fairyland, Shui Qingli also quietly left, leaving some Ye Luoli warriors at a loss in the chaotic Qingxi Gorge.
Although the magic of the Saint-level fairy damaged most of the cities this time, it can still be explained as a natural disaster.
The human world can be rebuilt, and Qingxi Gorge can be restored to its former state. As long as people are alive, there is still hope.
Therefore, this is not a problem for the Ye Luoli warriors to consider; they only need to make plans for what comes next.
"So, what exactly is the key that the shopkeeper left behind?" Chen Sisi looked at Shu Yan: "Could it be some secret that can save the shopkeeper?"
"I don't know, it doesn't look special at all." Shu Yan examined the exquisite key.
"It's the key to Floating Cloud Tower, isn't it?" Huang Shi, with his vast knowledge, immediately revealed the secret: "Floating Cloud Tower is the Immortal Realm Bank, always guarded by Xin Ling. Now that her primordial spirit has dissipated, this is a dying wish..."
"There must be a way to save the shopkeeper!" Wang Mo held little Xinling in her hands and said sadly, "The shopkeeper protected the human world, but can't we protect her?"
"No, there's another way." Peacock thought of Princess Linghua Ling: "Actually, in the fairy realm, there is a Mother of Life. As long as the conditions are met and there are corresponding bargaining chips, she can resurrect anyone."
