The room echoed with repeated, loud apologies.
The first time she met Fang Tianhui was when she entered the Star Picking Academy, her cheerful smile, as bright as sunshine...
"Sister Bai, you are truly beautiful!"
...
"Sister Bai... I'm a little scared..."
...
"Damn beast, how dare you insult Sister Bai!!!"
...
"Sister Bai..." "Sister Bai!" "Sister Bai"..."
Time flies, like a white steed passing a gap, in the blink of an eye, two years have passed since the three of them met...
When Fang Tianhui was happy, Bai Ran would smile...
When Fang Tianhui's father died, Bai Ran felt heartbroken...
When Fang Tianhui got married, Bai Ran sent her most sincere blessings...
When Fang Tianhui was in danger, she exploited Bai Ran's most sincere heart...
Many nights, they sang and drank, how many years have passed, but good times always end...
Hearts change... No one stays in the same place...
Bai Ran clenched her fists tightly, but... how could she have become like this...
Bai Ran took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, "From today onwards, we are no longer connected..."
Boom—!
Fang Tianhui's body trembled uncontrollably: "Bai... Sister..."
"Sister Bai, Hui'er was wrong!!!"
"Hui'er truly knows she was wrong!!! Wuwuwu..."
"Hui'er... was wrong..."
Tears had long blurred her vision, even with her head bleeding, Fang Tianhui did not stop.
"Dong—"
"Dong—"
"Hui'er was wrong! Hui'er truly was wrong!!!"
"Ahhh!!!"
"Zhu Que... throw these two out..." Bai Ran turned her head away, not looking at her.
Zhu Que received the order, and without mercy, grabbed the two and threw them out of the room.
Instantly, the room became extremely quiet, the door opened, and Xuan Yuan and the elders walked in.
The few little ones stood to the side, their emotions terribly low.
"Master... how should these two be dealt with?" Zhu Que asked cautiously.
Bai Ran's lips parted slightly, "Make them kneel before Xiao Zi's corpse. When Xiao Zi wakes up, they can get up."
She spoke cryptically, but everyone understood.
They would kneel before Xiao Zi's corpse until they died...
Zhu Que was stunned, Master... so she knew everything...
The taste of blood in her mouth, and the powerful demon core within her body... how could Bai Ran not know...
"Master... is there still hope for Xiao Zi..." Shi Tian felt very sad.
Bai Ran lowered her eyelids, "If his heart is still intact, I can preserve his soul and recreate a body for him."
But...
Xiao Zi's heart had already been crushed... and fed to Bai Ran, without a single drop missing...
Zhu Que's eyes turned red, "Xiao Zi... he's not coming back..."
Truly... not coming back...
The scene shifted, snow white fell from the sky, and everyone was wearing white burlap.
Xiao Zi's tombstone brought tears to everyone's eyes...
"Xiao Zi... this is the name I gave you..."
Bai Ran picked up a pot of wine and poured a full bowl into the empty bowl in front of the tombstone.
"The first time I saw you... you were silly, digging a grave for yourself in the Shitian Realm..."
"Back then, I thought, you are so foolish..."
Bai Ran picked up another bowl of wine and drank it all, "You always said I didn't listen to you..."
"It was me who was disobedient..."
"Is this my punishment... Xiao Zi..." Bai Ran gave a bitter smile, tears welling up in her eyes.
The betrayal of a dear friend... your departure...
This punishment is a bit too heavy...
Zhu Que bit her lower lip tightly, but tears still streamed down her face, "Don't call me little chick anymore."
"I... I can transform into human form..." But Xiao Zi could no longer see it...
Layer upon layer, silent mourning, quiet remembrance...
...
A crystal tear fell, and the image blurred...
Bai Ran slowly opened her eyes.
It was her room?
"You're awake?" Dongfang Wuji's voice sounded, smiling as he looked at her, "What did you see?"
On the table, a censer was burning slowly, its smoke curling and twisting...
"Such a realistic scene..." Bai Ran's voice was hoarse.
Long Jinhan looked at her with concern, still in the form of a young boy.
"This is the divination I performed, the scenes within will truly come to pass," Dongfang Wuji said with a smile, extinguishing the incense in the censer.
He used the scenery incense and his precognitive abilities to let Bai Ran experience the future firsthand...
It turned out that from the moment Dongfang Wuji said, 'I had a divination yesterday,' everything that followed was an illusion created by the scenery incense for Bai Ran.
Bai Ran pursed her lips, "Xiao Zi... are you still here..."
Hearing the telepathic message, Xiao Zi frowned in confusion, "Barring any accidents, I'll be here for the next few hundred years."
A familiar voice came, and Bai Ran chuckled, he was still alive...
"I saw you die."
Xiao Zi's mouth twitched, "I died? How did I die?"
"Suffocated to death in a space," Bai Ran laughed, eliciting an eye-roll from Xiao Zi.
"So, these scenes are all from your divination yesterday?" Bai Ran looked at Dongfang Wuji.
Dongfang Wuji nodded, "With my abilities, these are the futures I have deduced, which are highly likely to occur."
Bai Ran nodded and looked at Long Jinhan beside her, "Put on the earrings."
Long Jinhan was stunned, and after putting on the earrings, he returned to his original form.
"Tell me what you saw," Dongfang Wuji said, looking at her.
Bai Ran shook her head, "Your abilities need improvement."
Huh? What did she mean? Dongfang Wuji was full of questions.
"Half an incense stick ago, a carrier pigeon carrying a red letter would have arrived," Bai Ran said, looking at the sky outside the window.
But... Dongfang Wuji had underestimated the loyalty Fang Tianhui had for Bai Ran...
The time had long passed, and the carrier pigeon that arrived so early in the dream had not yet arrived...
"She, ah, would never betray me," Bai Ran chuckled lightly.
"The lower realm is probably already under attack by demonized people for half an hour," Bai Ran stood up.
"Demonized people are attacking the lower realm?" Dongfang Wuji was startled, was this the scene she saw?
"Soon, the demonized people will also attack the middle realm. This time, the demonized people possess considerable intelligence, be careful."
"You're going to the lower realm?" Dongfang Wuji also stood up.
Bai Ran nodded, "If I don't go, the lower realm will face annihilation."
The same plot, the same teleportation array, Bai Ran quickly arrived at the lower realm.
As expected, the man was still here, blocked by Long Jinhan.
The subsequent scenes were exactly as Dongfang Wuji had predicted, the only difference being that Xiao Zi discovered the sinister paper crane.
"Crack—" Xiao Zi crushed the paper crane with its spiritual power with a gentle pinch.
"Damn it!" Yin Xie cursed from within the cage.
The last method was also seen through...
