"Oh, you are..." She glanced at Xu Cheng with so confusion, "You are... Little Fool?"
"Guabu." Xu Cheng was angry, "My na is Xu Cheng."
But she was also curious.
Who is this person? Why does she know , but I don’t know her?
Xu Cheng and Laila took turns unloading cargo from the Divine Radiance, moving weapons behind the walls of the outpost bunker. This place was extrely hidden, seemingly a frontline observation post, but as for what it was monitoring, Xu Cheng had no idea. She felt that the basent inside must be filled with advanced equipnt, and the yard also had antennas and simple signal stations.
"Are you the Battle Witch? Never seen you before." Laila checked this blonde witch in front of her.
"Heh, I’m even more amazing than the Battle Witch." The blonde witch stretched lazily, "Where are you going next?"
"We’re heading back." Xu Cheng took out a handheld screen, her face suddenly changed, having run through five sites to get here: Fairbanks Repair Station, Balkan Crossroad, Anchorage POW Camp, Yukon Foothills Front, and finally Volangear Outpost. Retracing the route would take a long way back.
"Take a rest here." The blonde witch waved her hand casually, "After all, we are all witches."
She turned her head and entered the outpost, Xu Cheng felt a bit weird, and carefully followed inside with Laila.
The interior had few household items but was convenient and comfortable. Xu Cheng sat on a tal stool, which was warm, making her feel cozy.
The blonde witch brought canned beans, rice, and tea, tossing them on the table as if discarding trash, with a bold and carefree attitude.
"..." She lay back on the sofa, Xu Cheng felt she sank into the cushion in an unnatural posture.
"Who, who exactly are you?" Xu Cheng asked while eating, squatting on the ground to look at her.
"I used to hug you, how quickly you forget. I also hugged Laila." The blonde witch supported her chin with one hand, giving them a sidelong glance.
Laila thought.
"I know all the witches from Nestor Corporation, but I’ve never seen you!" Her expression suddenly changed, eyes brightened, "Tell us your na quickly, or we’ll have to take action!"
"Right!" Xu Cheng jumped in place, put down the canned beans, and posed for a fight.
Whoosh—a disguise on the blonde witch disappeared like smoke.
Du Qianqian lay lazily on the sofa: "You two annoying brats, not as cute as you used to be when you grow up."
"Wow, Sister Qianqian." Xu Cheng picked up the canned beans again, looking at Du Qianqian curiously. Perhaps many disliked Du Qianqian, but Xu Cheng held no grudge against her.
"Yes, it’s , and Laila..." Du Qianqian glanced at Laila, "You’ve been quite prominent lately."
"I am Lady Farosa’s spear, of course, I must be imposing." Laila said confidently.
"She’s Lady Farosa’s spear, and what are you?" Du Qianqian looked at Xu Cheng.
"? I’m the envoy." Xu Cheng said.
"Ha... Haha... The envoy..." Du Qianqian mocked, shaking her head.
Six years later, Du Qianqian appeared much older, but her overall deanor was even more gloomy.
"Do you have a ssage to deliver?" Xu Cheng was indifferent to Du Qianqian’s attitude.
"I want to send a ssage." Du Qianqian pressed her face with both hands, "To soone far away."
"No matter how far, we’ll deliver it! We are the best envoys, and we’ll protect our letters to the death!" Xu Cheng saluted Du Qianqian.
"I didn’t an distance; she is very close. I ant spiritually far." Du Qianqian turned over, lying face down, "Who I want to contact is... Wei Shiyue."
"Guagua, Little White Dragon." Xu Cheng was delighted, "It seems to be nearby, we’ll go and co back quickly to deliver your ssage."
"I said spiritually far, I’m afraid Sister Qianqian still worries about so hidden dangers." Laila said.
Du Qianqian’s face grew more sorrowful. She didn’t want to appear sad in front of these two kids, but that’s how it was. After all these years, she couldn’t forget Wei Shiyue. Everyone she longed for since then carried a shadow of Wei Shiyue. Now, after all this ti, Wei Shiyue returned, and Du Qianqian missed her dearly.
"If you help deliver a ssage... it might make feel better..." Du Qianqian closed her eyes, "But what to write? Writing anything is useless."
Xu Cheng stood on tiptoe, jumping a little.
"What to write doesn’t matter; what’s important is the sentint. Let us bring your sentint to Wei Shiyue." Xu Cheng said joyfully.
Du Qianqian’s heart pounded. This was scarier than her primary job as a spy. After all these years, reconnecting with Wei Shiyue? Healing her heart’s wounds?
"I can’t write the letter, but you... you might be able to help , just go before Wei Shiyue, casually talk about , I think... I want to know her current thoughts about , even just a sentence or two would be enough." Du Qianqian said blankly.
Xu Cheng had never seen Du Qianqian appear like this. She nodded, exchanged a glance with Laila, set down the food in her hand, and ran off, once again piloting the Divine Radiance to find Wei Shiyue.
At this ti, Wei Shiyue perched on a giant rock in the Yukon foothills. That rock had been covered with moss and vines for centuries, but as it soaked in Wei Shiyue’s aura of death, they quickly rotted away.
Wei Shiyue looked up at the twisted and fragnted moon, she seed not to need sleep, the head of the White Dragon raised high.
The Divine Radiance arrived, and Wei Shiyue turned towards their shuttle machine, which resembled a teardrop of black, moving silently as its joints moved, eyes flashing with soul-burning green flas, its voice pierced directly into one’s heart.
```
"Why are you here?" Wei Shiyue asked, its soul’s fla-like transparent body continually burning, with blaze erging from beneath its disguised white scales.
Xu Cheng glanced at Laila, feeling sowhat intimidated in the presence of Wei Shiyue, but Laila gave Xu Cheng a firm look that boosted her confidence.
She left the Shuttle Machine and jumped to the ground, only then did she realize the sinister aura surrounding Wei Shiyue.
In the shadows and dim light, many listless pale ghosts drifted between the trees, their expressions weary, with their attire, wounds, and weapons from their lifeti still clearly visible.
They were extrely weak, unable to intervene in the human world, rely wandering sorrowfully, evoking many cruel and heartless mories.
Wei Shiyue looked down from above, as if surveying the domain of death surrounding it, knowing countless souls will tread through it in the future. Moths spiraled in the nightti jungle, chasing the glow of ghosts.
"I’m here to talk to you about Du Qianqian." Xu Cheng paced forward, each step felt like walking on the balance line of mories and mourning.
"Du Qianqian..." Wei Shiyue said in a dull voice, conveying a sense of sadness and loss to Xu Cheng.
"Hey, hey, she misses you." Xu Cheng tried to lighten up the atmosphere a bit.
"But I have already beco the master of death, the last king of the Dragon Clan, burdened with the weight of the Afterlife World, busy managing billions of deceased souls, and also protecting my surviving family. Currently, I have been summoned here to fight the enemies to the last mont." Wei Shiyue said, "I don’t have ti to think about her, and from a dragon’s perspective, many things humans consider are quite absurd."
"Absurd?" Xu Cheng didn’t understand.
"Dragons can live for thousands of years, in our culture, within the Dragon Kind society, a dragon will experience many partners, possibly dozens, and we are accustod to this. Humans, on the other hand, have too short a lifespan, encountering one, they feel is for a lifeti. Because for them, if they don’t seize this one, then there will be no more. Once the beautiful tis pass, they beco devoid of youth, opportunities are hard to find." Wei Shiyue said.
"So you, you are... are you going to abandon Du Qianqian?" Xu Cheng was shocked. She thought every love would echo heavily.
"She’d better find another, we’re done." Wei Shiyue said.
"You hate Du Qianqian?" Xu Cheng was greatly surprised.
"I’m tired of it, haven’t liked it for a long ti."
Oh heavens, Sister Du has nothing left now. Xu Cheng’s nose turned sour. Poor Sister Du.
She didn’t speak to Wei Shiyue but ran away in tears, how could there be such a cruel thing in this world?
Wei Shiyue curled up its tail and closed its eyes.
"Wait a minute... Little Fool, you’re making cry too. Well, you can take this and give it to her." Wei Shiyue shed a tear, which condensed into a Dragon Tear Gemstone.
Dragon Tear Gemstone is a rare treasure because a dragon only cries once in its life.
Xu Cheng ran back to pick up the Dragon Tear Gemstone, looking up, she felt Wei Shiyue was so tall, yet so sad.
"Never again... My tears are gone, and Du Qianqian is gone too." Wei Shiyue turned to face east, Lady Farosa was seeking to launch the next battle, Wei Shiyue could only resolve its indescribable emotions through fighting.
Xu Cheng held the Dragon Tear Gemstone and returned to the Shuttle Machine, placing it on the control console.
She found the Star Weaving Lady and discussed with Laila: "Sister Du would definitely cry to death, shedding more tears than this one Dragon Tear."
"Then we’ll tell a lie, just say Wei Shiyue went to war, and will be back soon." The Star Weaving Lady liked happy endings.
"A lie always gets exposed, that would be a secondary hurt for Sister Du." Laila said.
Xu Cheng pondered seriously.
"Dad said honesty is very important, we have to be honest too, just tell Sister Du the whole truth and reality." Xu Cheng decided.
After returning to the Outpost, Xu Cheng offered the Dragon Tear Gemstone to Du Qianqian, then recounted Wei Shiyue’s words.
——It’s best to let go and move forward.
Du Qianqian accepted Wei Shiyue’s Dragon Tear Gemstone, her expression almost crumbling, her breathing beca rapid, she squatted on the ground, clutching the Dragon Tear Gemstone so tightly until her palms bled.
"Sister Du..." Xu Cheng feared.
"Go out, go out and rest for a bit, I... I’ll be alright in a mont." Du Qianqian closed her eyes, clutching the Dragon Tear Gemstone, it seed to still carry Wei Shiyue’s body temperature.
She thought of things long ago, how she t, dated, and parted with Wei Shiyue... If life were as beautiful as that first eting.
Xu Cheng and Laila left, sitting on the grass by the old dam, watching the aurora at night.
"Shining brightly." Laila gazed up, "Is this the world I am going to rule in the future? There’s certainly sothing laudable."
Xu Cheng was very saddened by Sister Du and Wei Shiyue’s situation, but Laila seed not to be sad at all.
"Aren’t you sad?" Xu Cheng said sorrowfully. Encountering sothing so sad, everyone would be heartbroken. Lovers unable to beco family...
"It’s their matter, not mine." Laila said with a laugh.
Xu Cheng raised her hand but then put it down, hugging her knees as she sat.
Ah, Laila is not cute.
