Chapter 136 Those who go back on their word will be punished.
After seeing off the creator god, Yin Yuan did some other minor things, which I won't go into detail about.
That night, Yan Xi broke the curse set by Mandora. In full view of everyone, she spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsed onto the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day at noon, Yan Xi woke up and greeted Xin Ling, who had come to visit. Just like she did with Shi Xi and the others, she rolled up her sleeves and let Xin Ling imagine the rest.
To increase the success rate and shorten the time required, Yan Xi even asked Yin Yuan to dig out a "charming halo" from who-knows-where inventory and put it on his head, which successfully dealt a critical hit to Xin Ling.
Xin Ling was in a daze when she left, her eyes were red.
Upon seeing the barren stone waiting outside, she couldn't help but shed tears, saying she didn't know what to do.
Influenced by Yin Yuan's words and psychological suggestions, Huang Shi, who was also somewhat dazed, simply advised her not to listen, not to look, not to ask, and not to interfere, but to protect herself in the midst of the disaster.
Xin Ling, who had been influenced by Yan Xi's psychological suggestion, hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing.
After Xin Ling left, Yan Xi sat quietly for a while, then called out a few people. One was assigned to Flower Bud Castle, while the others were given small brocade boxes to distribute throughout the fairyland.
……
As darkness fell, the last rays of the setting sun were swallowed up by the slowly creeping darkness.
The living room was lit, and the warm yellow candlelight flickered, casting dappled shadows on the walls.
Yan Xi sat on the throne, holding the beautiful longsword in her hand, gently wiping it with precious brocade, while listening to the news brought by Lu Ze.
Yes, Lu Ze.
After Yan Xi's original body returned, this person disposed of all the companies and properties under his control, and then disappeared into the shadows, as if he had vanished into thin air. He was known in the business world as the fall of a once-promising genius.
Now, this "fallen prodigy" has changed out of his suit and into an elaborate robe, with his long hair reaching his waist, a single gold-rimmed lens on his face, and a long chain hanging down his side.
He sat in the armchair, a faint smile playing on his lips, his slender fingers tracing patterns on the virtual screen in front of him, his voice like flowing water, recounting everything he knew about the recent events.
First is Chen Sisi.
After a long talk with Chen Sisi, Kong Que and Chen Sisi resolved their inner conflict. The next morning, Kong Que went to Xin Ling to ask to enter the Floating Cloud Tower and retrieve the Mirror Power she had stored there.
Then it's Zina.
After listening to the Ice Princess's words last time, she and Fei Ling went to find Xin Ling and successfully met the artificial fairy Xing Chen, gaining new power.
Then there are Jianpeng, Shuyan, and so on. Almost everyone has their own serendipitous encounters and methods of improvement.
Jianpeng "accidentally" inherits the legacy of a plant fairy, and Shuyan unexpectedly enters the Four Clocks, becoming a time messenger just like in the original story.
Feng Yinsha "made a great contribution" in the last battle, and Mandora promoted him and Hei Xiangling. Wen Qian and Jin Litong bickered every day, and Jin Litong had no room for improvement. However, Lu Ze sent weapons to Wen Qian.
... (omitting other people I can't remember)
Finally, there's Gao Taiming. In the original story, Pang Zun treated Gao Taiming's heart condition for Bai Guangying's sake, but from the very beginning, his ill-fated relationship with Bai Guangying was severed by Yan Xi, so it was Lu Ze who treated his heart condition.
For a week straight, Lu Ze fed Gao Taiming the medicine every night. On the last day, when he was about to leave after administering the medicine, Yu Zhao stopped him.
Yu Zhao knew where he came from and vaguely guessed that they were preparing to leave, so he asked Lu Ze if he would take him with him.
Lu Ze dodged the question, only saying he would ask Yan Xi.
Oh, and Wang Mo too.
After the last battle, Wang Mo was clearly different from before. Although her intelligence was still the same, her personality became irritable and easily angered, and she also developed bad intentions.
Her changes were something Luo Li neither expected nor wanted to see.
After witnessing Wang Mo's mischief for what felt like the umpteenth time, Luo Li's anxiety and pressure finally erupted, and she and Wang Mo had their first argument.
They had a fierce argument that day. After the argument, Luo Li ran out by herself, found Yan Xi's clone energy body, and poured out her grievances about her current life before covering her face and crying.
Yan Xi didn't comment on this, only saying that the time wasn't up yet and that she should wait and make her own choice.
Luo Li was completely confused at first, but she suddenly realized what was going on after Yan Xi lifted Mandora's curse. The next morning, she broke the contract with Wang Mo and should have returned to Flower Bud Castle by then.
That concludes Lu Ze's presentation.
He picked up his teacup, took a sip to moisten his dry throat, and asked, "What should we do about Yu Zhao?"
Yan Xi lowered her eyes and stared at the snow-white sword in her hand, asking softly, "What was he thinking?"
Lu Ze said, "He wants to come with us."
"Then let's bring him here. Take him with us tomorrow." Yan Xi said, then paused and added, "Take care of Gao Taiming. Some memories should be deleted if necessary. You can decide for yourself."
"Okay," Lu Ze replied, taking another sip of tea.
"Go ahead, be careful." Yan Xi waved her hand, then lowered her head to continue wiping her sword.
Lu Ze nodded, stood up, straightened his sleeves, bowed to Yan Xi, and disappeared from the spot as he straightened up.
Yan Xi wiped it a couple more times, casually tossed the brocade aside, raised her long sword, and her cold, vertical pupils were reflected on the blade.
"Wang Mo..."
As she read the name aloud, she suddenly chuckled softly, "This stage is really interesting..."
……
The next morning, Mo Ran returned, followed by a woman wearing a blindfold.
Two children in green clothes peeked out from the top of the wall. When they saw Mo Ran and the other person, the child on the left took out a portrait from his pocket.
The child on the right climbed over the wall and lay down next to the child on the left. Together they held the portrait and compared it to the woman behind Mo Ran. After looking at it for a while, they nodded in unison, "That's right, it's her."
The two children climbed over the wall again, and after a while, they opened the door to the reception room from the inside, stood on either side, and made a gesture of invitation.
After Mo Ran and the woman entered the reception room, the two children beckoned the door shut with their fingers.
Mo Ran glanced back at the closed door, a hint of pleasure in her eyes. This was the first time in twenty days that she had entered the reception room without being kicked out.
Yan Xi sat on the throne, legs crossed, one hand supporting her head, the other hand playing with a red folding fan.
"You're back... Have a seat."
Looking at the two of them, Yan Xi waved her folding fan, and two cups of hot tea appeared on the octagonal table to the left.
After the two sat down, Mo Ran opened his mouth as if to ask for credit, but Yan Xi raised her hand to stop him from speaking.
"Meng Yi?"
"Ah."
"Congratulations on regaining your freedom." Receiving Meng Yi's affirmation, Yan Xi squinted her eyes with pleasure. "Don't think about revenge yet. I need your help with something."
Meng Yi leaned back leisurely in her chair, raised an eyebrow, and chuckled softly, "Alright, my great benefactor~"
Meng Yi's attitude pleased Yan Xi even more. She thought for a moment and asked, "Can you build a dream city in my mind and then bring some people in?"
"you?"
Meng Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "My benefactor, Your Majesty, you must be joking, right? Your consciousness is not so easy to invade. Even if you don't resist, just invading it would take half my life, not to mention building a dream."
After a pause, Meng Yi added, "You might as well send me back again."
Yan Xi was also taken aback for a moment, then slapped her forehead, "I didn't think this through..."
She thought for a moment, then suddenly flicked her finger, and a streak of light instantly appeared in front of Meng Yi.
As the light faded, Meng Yi suddenly opened her eyes, her one blue and one purple pupil filled with shock.
Hanging before her were three round, elixir-like pills, each imbued with the power of a thousand years!
Yan Xi smiled faintly, "And this time?"
Seeing Meng Yi looking over, the smile on her lips slowly widened, and she held up three fingers.
"Thirty days later, we'll build the dream world. If you don't say anything, I'll take that as your agreement."
"Don't go back on your word! People who break their promises will be punished!"
