Chapter 117 Stealth in the Dark
[The Human World]
Because Mandora was racking her brains to get Xinling to produce the sixth fairy, Feng Yinsha had some free time and wandered aimlessly through the streets.
Fortunately, it was nighttime, so Feng Yinsha's eyes wouldn't hurt, and with Hei Xiangling, whom no one else could see, by his side, he wouldn't feel lonely.
“Master, don’t be sad…” Hei Xiangling felt that Feng Yinsha had been in a bad mood all night since he saw his mother.
However, Hei Xiangling is not a healing fairy, so she cannot help Feng Yinsha solve the troubles his mother is facing, nor can she do anything about his congenitally defective eyes.
All she can do now is stay by Feng Yinsha's side.
"I'm fine..." It was normal for Feng Yinsha to feel down after seeing his mother, but his voice was still forlorn.
He looked at Hei Xiangling and said hesitantly, "Xiangling, do you think it's really right for us to help the Queen?"
Because he had lost too much from the very beginning, Feng Yinsha held onto hope tightly. But now it seems that what he persisted in was meaningless, and he couldn't see any so-called "hope" at all.
Mandora agreed to help Feng Yinsha make up for his deepest regret, but on the condition that Hei Xiangling face her former sisters.
However, after several confrontations, Feng Yinsha realized that war is always accompanied by sacrifices, just like Fei Ling who could never return and the heartbroken Qi Na.
At this moment, Feng Yinsha finally realized the cruel truth—in front of Mandora, he might completely lose Hei Xiangling!
The reason she previously asked Feng Yinsha to work for Mandora was because of her desire for what she had lost, but now she wants to keep Hei Xiangling.
"I don't know, but I just want to obey my master." Hei Xiangling sat on Feng Yinsha's shoulder and stroked his not-so-long silver hair: "I just want my master to be happy, no matter what the cost."
“Xiangling, but your happiness…” Feng Yinsha hesitated. He felt that he shouldn’t be so selfish, and he shouldn’t make Hei Xiangling give up her position for his own sake.
“It’s alright, Master. I want to protect your happiness.” Hei Xiangling said with a smile, “When you decided to become my master without disliking my disability, I had already decided that you are my only master.”
Hei Xiangling could not forget that dark and hopeless period of being despised by others. She redeemed Feng Yinsha, but Feng Yinsha also redeemed her.
“Xiangling…” Feng Yinsha understood immediately. From the moment they made their firm choice to each other, it was already decided that they were destined to be each other’s only one, just like Qi Na and Fei Ling.
However, Qi Na and Fei Ling's ending is a tragic one, while he is determined to make his ending with Xiang Ling a happy one no matter what!
He absolutely cannot accept losing it!
Even losing himself and constantly lurking in the darkness could not shake his resolve!

[The Human World, the Ye Luoli Doll Shop]
The doll shop remained open as usual, but Xin Ling, the shop owner, was troubled by the matter of the sixth fairy.
Unexpectedly, the final outcome of the power struggle with Mandora will ultimately rest on the shoulders of the sixth fairy.
Xinling didn't have much of a chance of winning this matter. To be precise, she didn't really trust Anling, who had only come to her side at the last minute. She also didn't know if putting all her eggs in Anling's basket would be a bad idea.
Moreover, Xinling wasn't sure if Anling would harbor resentment after being locked in the secret compartment for so long.
But deep down, she still hoped that Anling could consider the bigger picture and work with her to protect the human world.
Perhaps it's time to have a good talk with this sixth fairy. If it comes to a point where she has no other choice, she must find a reliable human master for Anling. If she is controlled by Mandora like Hei Xiangling, it would be an absolute disaster for the human world.
Seeing that the doll shop was almost empty as usual, Xin Ling closed the door and went to the back hall, looking at the wall where the dark silk was hidden.
Xinling's sealing techniques are among the best in the fairy realm, so this wall looks no different from an ordinary wall. Even a Saint-level fairy cannot detect the hidden compartment behind the wall or sense the presence of the Dark Silk.
Xin Ling took out her hairpin, which transformed into a magic staff in her hand. She then cast a spell on the wall: "Ye Luoli Magic, Heaven is round and Earth is square, all dimensions are boundless! Seal released!"
The hidden compartment was opened, and Xinling took out the box containing the Dark Silk...
