Chapter 1346: Chapter 1346: A New Race
Thinking of her son, whom she had nurtured and deeply loved for many years, falling in love with soone else and no longer loving her, the Dark Witch’s heart was filled with despair. She didn’t even have the will to heal herself and collapsed powerlessly to the ground.
If Zi Yu was determined to be with another woman and no longer cared about her, what aning was there for her to live in this world?
A lifespan of tens of thousands of years, ending up with nothing, sounded like a tragic joke.
She hunched over, curled up in her large black robe, appearing increasingly frail. The wrinkles on her face deepened, making her whole face resemble a shriveled walnut as tears continuously flowed from her cloudy eyes.
Qin Sisi looked at her, and even though she loathed her past actions, she still felt a sense of pity. Even the lofty Deities could not escape the obsessions within their hearts. Hai Cangming was like this, and so was the Dark Witch.
Her actions towards Zi Yu were indeed cruel, but the thousands of years she spent nurturing Zi Yu’s life at great cost to her own magic power, motivated by motherly love, was still quite admirable.
Qin Sisi stepped forward a couple of steps and said gently, "Dark Witch, how about we make a deal?"
"What deal?" The Dark Witch asked weakly, staring blankly at the empty air, devoid of expression.
Qin Sisi said clearly, "The Life Divine Water is useless to you. If I can make Zi Yu change his mind and return to your side, will you give
the Life Divine Water, how about that?"
The Dark Witch hesitated briefly. Indeed, the Life Divine Water was useless to her since she was a Deity.
"The Phoenix Sky God once commanded that the Life Divine Water can only be used when the Demon Sacred Realm is in grave danger," the Dark Goddess recited the ancient decree left by the Phoenix.
Ye You stepped forward and said, "I am the Sage Ruler of the Demon Sacred Realm. Is my life and death not a big matter for the Demon Sacred Realm?"
The Dark Witch shook her head, "The one who needs to use the Life Divine Water is not you,
Ye You resolutely said, "My wife’s life is my life. If she dies, I won’t survive either."
The Dark Witch looked at Ye You’s determined eyes in silence, then suddenly smiled. Her brown lips quivered, and she uttered a single word: "Okay."
In fact, she was willing to make this deal because Zi Yu was the most important to her. She just needed a strong enough reason not to defy the Phoenix’s command.
"It’s a deal." A bright light flickered in Qin Sisi’s eyes as she turned to look at Ye You.
Ye You’s eyes were also fixed on her, his lips curving slightly into a smile of admiration.
The mories of collecting Soul Power together surged in their minds. She indeed achieved it, just like always, never disappointing others.
The two of them left the area, heading in the direction pointed out by the Dark Witch to find the sycamore tree with no leaves, only flowers.
Ye You placed Qin Sisi on his shoulder and gently asked, "Do you have a plan yet?"
Qin Sisi shook her head and replied straightforwardly, "No."
Ye You couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "Then what do we do next?"
Qin Sisi thought for a mont before responding, "I haven’t figured it out yet. Let’s find Zi Yu and Ling Wu first."
Ye You paused for a mont and tentatively asked, "If there’s no way to make Zi Yu change his mind, can we try my approach?"
Qin Sisi glanced at him, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Okay, I know you won’t really hurt them."
Ye You’s eyes shifted slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "That might not be true. For you, I’m willing to act as the bad guy a few tis."
Qin Sisi imdiately responded, "I’m not willing."
Ye You’s steps halted as he turned to look at Qin Sisi, their eyes eting, speaking volus without words.
To straighten your reflection, I could overturn the entire world; being misunderstood, blad, cursed, and resented ans nothing.
But I am unwilling. I only wish for you to always remain the pure and bright young man, even with the power to control the fate of the world, still embodying justice, loyalty, and righteousness.
In the towering, lushly forested Dark Forest, that unique sycamore tree stood quietly. The tall trees shot straight up into the clouds, with not a single green leaf on the top branches, only blooming with purplish-red flowers.
The flowers were vibrant, like clouds and mist. When the wind blew, one or two flowers would drift away, scattering on the ground to form a floral carpet, as if in a fairy tale world.
Zi Yu, dressed in white, sat under this sycamore tree, leaning against the trunk, using a leaf in his mouth to play a lody, low and filled with deep sorrow.
Qin Sisi could tell that it was his love, his longing, his helplessness, his sadness, and his unforgettable mories.
She and Ye You stood a ways away, quietly watching this picturesque scene of one person and one tree, montarily reluctant to disturb.
"Brother Zi Yu!" A hurried cry rang out from afar.
Hearing soone call his na, Zi Yu stopped playing and looked up in the direction of the voice.
Several green figures approached from afar, with green skin, green hair, and clothes made from leaves. They weren’t very tall, with lean and agile figures, swinging from branches like monkeys, arriving in front of Zi Yu with jumps and leaps.
Qin Sisi, observing from a distance, had her eyes brighten. Along the way, she had seen these green figures several tis but was unsure who they were.
Standing before Zi Yu were three individuals, with pale green skin, their ears standing tall on the sides, clearly not ordinary humans.
The smallest and slimst among them spoke eagerly, "Brother Zi Yu, we have brought Bearded Grandpa."
Another, slightly taller one, followed quickly, "Bearded Grandpa’s magic is powerful. He will surely have a way to save Ling Wu."
"Yeah, yeah!" The last voice was clear and crisp, obviously a girl’s voice.
"Really?" Zi Yu’s face lit up with joy as he quickly discarded the leaf in his hand and stood up, looking expectantly in the direction the green figures had co from.
Qin Sisi and Ye You exchanged a look, their eyes filled with curiosity.
They had assud that aside from the Demonic Beasts lacking spiritual wisdom, only the Dark Witch and Zi Yu were capable of communication in the Dark Forest. They hadn’t expected another unique race to live here.
It seed Zi Yu’s lover, Ling Wu, must also belong to this race. The newcors were definitely friends of Zi Yu and Ling Wu, indicating that this race wasn’t small in number.
Moreover, one of the green figures had ntioned "Bearded Grandpa’s magic is powerful," suggesting that this race could also use magic.
