Fei Dao, who had regained his body, was carried to the house of Hua Wan, the owner of Lvli Island, for treatment. After Hua Wan's examination, he found that the several injuries caused by the fragments of Kun's Mirror were not serious, but that the long-term soul separation caused some sequelae to him that needed to be slowly nursed back to health in the future.
Ouyang Xueye ordered others to retrieve many flowers from the antlers of redbud elk from Bauhinia Island, and gave them to Hua Wan, who then prepared them into honey pills to nourish spirits. Seeing that although Fei Dao was still very weak, the situation was basically stable, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Chang Dao was still in a state of lethargy. Occasionally when he woke up, he would tell Ouyang Xueye some things. The first was the treatment of the Infinite Walkers and their captain Chen Ge. They had to wait for him to recover before further discussion; Ouyang Xueye is solely responsible for rewarding the souls who have made great contributions in the battle; the last thing is about Xia Qiu.
Because of her key role in the entire operation and her help to the Taoist, the Taoist Order ordered the Holy Boy Wuyou to send her out of the Infinite Heaven on a soul-saving ship the next day. This time, she left as a member of the heroic race with outstanding merits in saving the Infinite Heaven, and no longer needed to break through the waterfall barrier to escape from this world. Although she tried her best to resist, the dead souls still wanted to hold a simple farewell ceremony for her on the eve of her departure. On the other hand, this ceremony was also to celebrate the victory of the battle.
In the end, the ceremony was scheduled to be held on Bauhinia Island on the next day. For many of the souls on the islands, especially those on Chizhao Island, this was their first time on Bauhinia Island. The well-trained souls who were temporarily mobilized from Lanlian Island, under the leadership of Elk Fairy, set up tents in the open space under Ziyun Residence. Countless food and wine were placed under these tents. The long table, the colorful lights hanging on the tent shelves, and the animals such as the spirit horses that freely shuttled in the middle of the empty space made the atmosphere here extremely dreamy.
Xia Qiu did not prepare any gorgeous clothes when she came to the Infinite Heaven. Before the ceremony, she only freshened up a little and planned to attend the banquet downstairs. Unexpectedly, as soon as she was about to walk out of the house, someone knocked on the door.
Yuchan appeared in front of her in a hurry, holding a bag made of satin in one hand and a large carved wooden box in the other. When he saw the door being opened, he rushed in, panting heavily and piling the things in his hands into the chair by the window.
She casually picked up the teacup on the table in the room, and drank it in one gulp, regardless of whether it was Xia Qiu's. Then she said, "Take off the clothes you are wearing!"
"Ah?" Xia Qiu was startled by her sudden words and looked up at her in confusion.
"This is a farewell party for you. To show respect for the dead souls who came to attend, you have to dress up a little!" Yuchan couldn't help but start to unbutton her clothes.
When I met Yuchan before, I wasn't familiar with her, so I didn't know she had such a fierce side. She carefully avoided the injured area on her body and put her into the clothes in the satin bag. It was a brand new dress. Because she felt that the lotus color was not very suitable for her, she had been putting it away without wearing it. Now she finally found it. This dress really suits the person.
In the carved wooden box she brought along, there were rouge, gouache, and several accessories that she thought would match the clothes. After helping Xia Qiu dress up carefully, even Yuchan herself I feel like my eyes are brightening.
"Does it look good?" Xia Qiu asked, looking at herself in the mirror with a touch of rouge and lip gloss.
She recalled that the last time she dressed up so exquisitely was the day she went on a date with Ouyang Xiaoleng before going to Chi Lai Mir. At that time, she had heard the black prophecy about her imminent death from the stone demon Yanming. Even if he died, he would help Ouyang Xiaoleng until the last moment. Walking side by side with him on the commercial street seemed like what happened yesterday.
"Of course it looks good, I don't care who picked it!" Yuchan responded with a smile, and then helped her straighten her skirt, "Okay, it's time for the protagonist to appear!"
Xia Qiu and Yu Chan landed under Ziyun Residence together. The first thing that greeted her was Diao Yan, Dragonfly and Hui Xing. The three spiritual horses stood side by side, Hui Xing stood in the center. The two girls saluted. At this moment, it seems that although the height of Hui Xing is not as high as Diao Yan, it is almost catching up with the dragonfly.
Behind the three spiritual horses was a big head with his arm wrapped in a bandage. He was able to save his life because Xia Qiu arrived in time with his injured arm. The moment he saw her, his eyes were filled with tears. He felt sorry for himself. I deeply blame myself for my selfishness and wavering.
The dead souls lined up in two rows at the back formed a passage, leading directly to Ouyang Xueye at the front. She and Yu Chan walked forward, constantly greeting the familiar and even unfamiliar dead souls. Ouyang Xueye stood at the end of the queue holding a bouquet of flowers, which he was asked to give to Xia Qiu on his behalf.
She took the flowers from his hand, with a bright smile on her face. The fragrance of the flowers filled the air, making her feel happy. She wanted to enjoy everything in front of her and not worry about what might happen tomorrow.
This night, she drank a glass of wine with Yuchan, Datou, Wuyou Shengtong, and even Changmingzi and Jinshan. When it was finally her turn to clink glasses with Ouyang Xueye, she was already swaying. Unable to stand still. Yuchan also stood beside her. After drinking, she became bolder than usual. She stared at Ouyang Xueye's face without blinking, thinking that Ouyang Xiaoleng should be more than ten years later. What does he look like now
"Handsome guys are so popular no matter where they are, and there are always beauties around them, unlike us!" Naganariko walked over and joked with Jinshan beside her.
"Hey, why is it us? I should be considered a handsome guy, right?!" Jin Shan retorted with a dissatisfied look on his face, causing Xia Qiu and the others to laugh.
Ouyang Xueye shook his head helplessly at Jinshan, then turned to Xia Qiu and said, "Xia Qiu, tomorrow is the day you leave here, but the spirit of the purple-eyed monster may have escaped back to the realm of soul separation. I'm worried He will do you harm!"
"Actually, I am somewhat afraid of returning to the realm of soul separation again, but I still want to go back, because only by returning there can I possibly go back to my own world." Xia Qiu responded calmly.
"Well, as long as there is still a chance, you must seize it! It's great to be back with the one you love!" Ouyang Xueye took a sip of the wine in the glass and cast his eyes into the distance.
Xia Qiu could hear the regret in his tone. Life and death had brought him and his loved ones to two parallel lines that could never intersect, and they could only miss each other from afar.
The subsequent memories of this night are all spent in joyful singing and laughter. And Yu Chan's graceful dance was so unforgettable no matter what. Xia Qiu watched her every move intently, and the expressions on the faces of the dead souls who admired her dance as much as she did. They no longer care whether they are from different islands. Even the souls of the dead on Chizhao Island embrace the souls of the dead on Bauhinia Island. No matter what they have done in life, they are all heroes now. At the same time, they They have already become companions.
Xia Qiu didn't quite remember when she lay back on the bed. When she opened her eyes again, it was already the morning of the next day. She couldn't help but stay in this bed for a while, because this would be the last time she would lie here. When she packed her simple luggage and walked to the platform downstairs, she found that Xiaolibai had been picked up by Ouyang Xueye.
It looked a little more recovered and energetic than yesterday. As soon as it saw Xia Qiu, it stood up from the table, shook its fur, and then flew towards her.
"Be careful of your injury!" Xia Qiu hugged it distressedly.
She had actually planned to leave Xiao Libai in the Infinite Heaven, firstly because there were still many dangers hidden in the realm of soul separation, and secondly, because she would eventually leave there. If that was the case, that world would be alone in the end. It is left alone.
Whether it was because he had a premonition that she wanted to keep him, or because of his own pain, Xiao Libai nestled in Xia Qiu's arms throughout the morning, and was always observing her every move. She didn't have a chance to put it down until Wuyou Holy Child came to Ziyunju to pick her up.
But no matter what, separation will come eventually. Although she was reluctant to part with it, she could only kiss its forehead for the last time, rub its little nose and then give it to Ouyang Xueye with determination. The moans it made sounded heartbreaking, like those of a choking child, but in fact its eyes were filled with tears, and so were hers.
"Are you sure you don't want to take it with you?" Ouyang Xueye asked, looking at Xia Qiu and Xiaoli Bai who were reluctant to leave each other.
"Yes!" She nodded, and then said to Ouyang Xueye and Elk Fairy with a forced smile, "Teacher, Elk Fairy, I'm leaving!"
The Elk Fairy handed her the bow and arrows she used. Ouyang Xueye said nothing but smiled with the Elk Fairy and watched her leave. She deliberately did not ask them to send her to the lake where Sanssouci's boat was docked, because that would make the atmosphere too heavy. But Yuchan and Datou were still waiting near the lake bank early. When they saw Xia Qiu and Wuyou Holy Child, they waved vigorously.
"This is a letter for the three of you. Remember to open it when you reach the realm of soul separation!" Yuchan handed a letter to Xia Qiu. She wrote it after much hesitation. The envelope said Xia Qiu, Ouyang Xiaoleng The names of three people, Qianqi and Qianqi.
"Okay!" Xia Qiu took it and put the letter away.
"Although the island owner Ouyang Xueye and others have kept their promise to keep secrets for me, they can't change the fact that I once provided information to that monster. My brother Dafu was probably captured by the monster. Realm, I know... I have betrayed your trust in me, and I have no right to ask you for anything more, but if you hear news about my brother in the Realm of Soul Leaving, please be sure to help him!" Big Head pleaded.
This was the first time Xia Qiu heard that Datou had betrayed them. Although she was a little surprised, she still agreed to his plea. She boarded the boat of the Holy Boy Wuyou, and then went with him to the platform in the center of the lake where the Jihun Ship was docked. Although she had carefully looked at the scenery of the Infinite Heaven along the way, she still took a deep look in the direction of Bauhinia Island before entering the Jihun Ship.
"Are you ready to set off?" Saint Wuyou leaned out half of his body from the small door of the soul-saving ship and asked Xia Qiu on the platform.
"Um!"
Xia Qiu turned around and walked into the small door, but just as she entered the Jihun Ship, a small white figure also rushed in.
"It seems that this little guy still can't bear to leave you!" Wuyou Holy Child looked at Xiao Libai who had got into Xia Qiu's arms and shook his head helplessly, then turned around and slammed the door of Jihun Ship.
