Chapter 53

Once again, Mei Xue strolled hand in hand with the red-clothed girl beside her, unaware that the girl had quietly changed into someone else.

This was not strange, as Xiao Liu and Xiao Xiang were born from the same life source, even using the same human form, making it impossible for anyone to distinguish between them by appearance.

Before Xiao Liu's consciousness fell into a deep sleep, Xiao Xiang received a large amount of information—everything Xiao Liu had experienced over the past two days with Mei Xue.

Her joy, her curiosity, her anticipation, her desire to understand the human world, and her "liking" for Mei Xue.

To Xiao Liu, Mei Xue was her first human friend, a very special human.

Therefore, Xiao Xiang, who had inherited Xiao Liu's wishes, reluctantly took on Xiao Liu's role, walking along the mountain path with Mei Xue's hand in hers.

The misty rain that had started in the morning had quietly stopped, and the air was filled with the fresh scent after the rain. Mei Xue led Xiao Liu along the mountain path.

Soon, a valley filled with blooming white flowers appeared before them. The faint fragrance, enhanced by the rain, was particularly appealing. The petals, still glistening with dew, were striving to bloom, filling the valley with the vitality of life.

"What kind of flower is this?" Xiao Xiang asked curiously, looking at the blooming white flowers.

"This is the Seven Emotions Flower, a medicinal herb that only blooms during this season." Mei Xue looked at Xiao Liu beside him with some confusion, as he had already brought her here yesterday. Why was she asking the same question again?

"Why is it called the Seven Emotions Flower?" Xiao Xiang found the name a bit strange.

"Because, according to legend, this flower can bless love and, when used as medicine, can calm the mind. It is one of the specialties of Mount Tiantai." Mei Xue picked a flower and inserted it into Xiao Liu's crystal head ornament.

Xiao Xiang was making a great effort to endure, enduring Mei Xue's hand approaching her, enduring him placing the flower next to her face.

If it were the real her, she would have killed Mei Xue with a single strike long ago.

But she couldn't do that now, as it was Xiao Liu's last wish before falling asleep. She had to spend the last days of the boundary pearl as "Xiao Liu" and absolutely could not harm Mei Xue.

For Xiao Xiang, who revered strength and was the ruler of Qingxu, this was more difficult than slaughtering through a million troops, almost an impossible task.

From the moment Mei Xue took her hand until they reached this place, she had already prepared a hundred ways to kill Mei Xue, all different.

No, now it was one hundred and one. A flower burial was a pretty good idea.

In the blood-soaked sword, the white flowers would fly, and then there would be no more Mei Xue to cause trouble in the world.

"We're here." Mei Xue, unaware that he had been one step away from death, led Xiao Xiang to the platform at the peak of the mountain.

This was not a famous peak, just one of the many ordinary mountains on Mount Tiantai.

But this was the best place Mei Xue had found to view the sea.

From here, one could see the vast, boundless sea in its entirety.

There were no human ports, no traces of towns. The sea seen from this small mountain was the most natural, with the rocks on the beach enduring the waves as they had for thousands of years.

In the clear water, dolphins and other creatures occasionally leaped out of the sea, their black and white backs drawing beautiful arcs in the air before diving back into the water, splashing playful waves.

Xiao Xiang took a deep breath, seemingly understanding why Xiao Liu liked the human world so much.

Because, without humans, this sea was truly beautiful.

For a long time, due to her prejudice against humans, Xiao Xiang had not had much good will toward the world where humans lived.

She was the ruler of Qingxu, the supreme and only one in Qingxu, capable of causing storms and even changing the color of the sky.

But she could not create the sea before her, nor the novel creatures living in it.

The types of monsters in a secret realm were limited. Apart from the occasional foreign monsters that wandered in through spatial passages, the races in the entire secret realm were almost unchanged.

But the world before her was different. It was countless times larger than a secret realm, filled with countless lives.

There were billions of different lives here, and the number of laws governing this world was countless times more than the sum of all secret realms.

This was the "Many Seas and Mountains," the world where countless races lived.

Just by looking at this sea, Xiao Xiang felt her blood boil, resonating with the power of the land and sky, a primal enthusiasm for the sea as a descendant of the water god.

If she had been born in this world, not rejected by its laws, she could certainly control the sea, expanding her endless blood sea by more than ten times.

"This world... is unexpectedly nice..." Xiao Xiang breathed in the sea breeze coming from afar, her eyes becoming fiery.

"Xiao Liu, you really like the sea." Seeing Xiao Liu's mood improve, Mei Xue also felt happy.

He had noticed that since Xiao Xiang had stabbed him yesterday, Xiao Liu's spirit had been poor, as if she was suppressing something.

But now, that feeling was finally gone.

The Xiao Liu he remembered was happy, not so lonely.

"Yes, I like it." The love for the sea was a common point between Xiao Liu and Xiao Xiang, so Xiao Xiang didn't need to lie against her will.

After seeing this sea, Xiao Xiang suddenly felt that the last few days weren't so bad after all.

Mei Xue possessed no powerful strength, which she had personally confirmed. No matter how deeply hidden his combat talent, there would have been a reaction when her blood sword passed by his heart.

That one strike had thoroughly confirmed Mei Xue's negligible combat ability and denied the possibility that he was a sage.

Even if he had somehow seen through the disguise of the boundary pearl, he had no power of his own.

For such a person, Xiao Liu had consumed her vital essence, and Xiao Xiang felt very guilty. Unlike her, Xiao Liu had just condensed her vital essence, and only a few drops were used to heal Mei Xue, depleting all of her strength.

Therefore, she would put in 100% effort to fulfill Xiao Liu's last wish before falling asleep.

It was only a few short days, so there was no need to worry, right?

Moreover, this world was not as bad as she had imagined, or rather, it was much better.

So, she would relax a bit and complete Xiao Liu's wish during these last few days.

"What is that?" Xiao Xiang, curious, looked at the red things hanging on the bamboo poles of the street vendors as Mei Xue led her into the market. Her little nose twitched, clearly smelling the enticing aroma.

"This... this is candied hawthorn..." Mei Xue didn't know what expression to show, as Xiao Liu had asked the same question yesterday.

"How does it taste?" Xiao Xiang sniffed, smelling a wonderful scent she had never encountered before, a taste that could never exist in Qingxu.

"I'll buy it for you." Mei Xue handed a stick to Xiao Liu, and this familiar scene made him feel as if time was repeating itself.

"Three sticks." Xiao Xiang unceremoniously held up three fingers. One stick wouldn't be enough; red things needed to be tripled.

"Okay." Mei Xue laughed, finally recovering from the illusion of time reversal.

Today's Xiao Liu seemed to have a good appetite, and that energetic appearance was equally charming.

If yesterday's Xiao Liu was like a little lion dog waiting for its owner to feed it, today's Xiao Liu was like a golden retriever princess actively licking her owner's hand, eager for food.

The same Xiao Liu, different charm. Indeed, girls have different sides, and no matter how you guess, you can't figure them out.

But whether it was yesterday's Xiao Liu or today's Xiao Liu, Mei Xue liked them equally.

"Mei Xue, those head ornaments are so beautiful, I want them." Despite trying to act like a lady, Xiao Xiang revealed her true colors at the sight of something she liked.

Her eyes, burning with desire, made it seem as if she would rob the vendor if Mei Xue didn't buy them.

"These... are not head ornaments... they are food." Mei Xue regretfully revealed the truth, making Xiao Xiang's face turn red.

Oh... oh no... I made a mistake. Humans are really something, why do they make food look so beautiful?

As the ruler of Qingxu, when she needed to eat, she would just throw the food into the blood sea, where it would be naturally decomposed into nutrients.

The best-tasting thing she remembered was a human who had foolishly challenged her with a long blue-green spear. After eating him, the volume of the blood sea increased significantly, and the taste of the blue dragon bloodline it contained was quite palatable.

But compared to the various foods created by humans, everything she had eaten before was a waste. She couldn't understand how humans could have such unique creativity, creating so many strange and wonderful things.

"Buy them for me, I want them." Xiao Xiang held back her saliva, her eyes fixed on the lollipop vendor.

"Whoosh!" The vendor's hair stood on end, feeling as if he was in a nightmare, like a frog being stared at by a venomous snake.

Seeing a ghost in broad daylight! The vendor trembled, almost kneeling down.

Immortals, Buddhas, anyone, save me!

In the end, it was Mei Xue who saved the vendor's life. He bought all the lollipops, freeing the poor vendor who was about to wet his pants.

"Do you like them?" Watching Xiao Liu happily licking the lollipops, Mei Xue felt his mood brighten.

"Yes, thank you." Xiao Xiang enjoyed the human candy and made a difficult decision.

Before returning to Qingxu, she would steal all the candies from Mount Tiantai.
