Chapter 187 That's Not Your Fault
aside.
Seeing Bai Heng on the verge of tears on March 7th, I felt incredibly sad.
She bit her lip, but couldn't help saying softly, "Um... Sister Bai Heng."
"It's not that we don't want to talk about it."
"But... the ending of the story is really not good..."
Not good?
Bai Heng took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Faced with Bai Heng's "request," the observation car fell into a deathly silence.
...No one could bring it up.
Because every word that follows will be like the sharpest knife, piercing the heart of this girl who has just awakened from a seven-hundred-year slumber.
finally.
Walter gently tapped his cane and accepted the heavy task.
As an outsider, and also as an elder who has witnessed countless historical changes.
Perhaps it would be the least damaging way for him to recount this history.
"Miss Bai Heng, after your 'sacrifice,' Luo Fu did indeed win that war."
Walter's voice was deep and calm.
He tried his best to present that long-forgotten history in the most objective tone.
"However, you disappeared, and Lu Li, who survived using some kind of ability, also fell into a coma with serious injuries."
"Therefore... your 'death' became a fuse, igniting an even greater tragedy."
Bai Heng's breath hitched, and his hands unconsciously clenched the hem of his clothes.
"Yingxing...he couldn't accept your death and went into a state of paranoia."
"He began frantically searching for a way to bring the dead back to life."
"Finally, he found Danfeng..."
Upon hearing this, Danheng unconsciously clenched his fists.
Bai Heng frowned slightly.
A miraculous resurrection...?
Although I didn't die, in their eyes I must have disappeared without a trace.
And knowing that he was going to die... this was indeed something that Yingxing and Danfeng would do.
But how could I possibly think that coming back to life was impossible?
But what Walter said next left Bai Heng stunned.
"They...hope to resurrect you."
"Therefore, they violated the taboo of the Vidyadhara Clan, modified the 'Dragon Transformation Technique,' and used your remaining flesh and blood and... fleeting remains as a medium to hold a ritual in the Scale Abyss Realm."
"What?!"
Bai Heng gasped in shock, his face drained of color. "They used the wreckage that appeared out of nowhere?!"
"Those two idiots! Are they crazy?!"
It was precisely because he had actually fought against Shuhu.
She knew better than anyone how filthy and evil the power of the Envoy of Abundance was.
That's extremely poisonous!
"Yes, in a sense they really have gone mad." Walter nodded sadly. "The ritual... failed."
"They didn't 'resurrect' you, but instead created a monster stitched together from the power of the Dragon Lord, the power of the Jianmu tree, and the power of abundance—the Immortal Evil Dragon."
"The turmoil that dealt a heavy blow to Luofu is known in history as the Rebellion of Drinking the Moon."
Bai Heng listened blankly, his lips losing all color.
Evil dragon...
The chaos of drinking the moon...
"In order to suppress the evil dragon, Jing Yuan led the Cloud Cavalry in a desperate battle, but the evil dragon possessed the characteristic of being immortal in an instant, making it impossible to kill it completely."
"Just as Jingyuan was about to be defeated, Jingliu arrived."
"Mirror Flow..."
Bai Heng murmured the name, a glimmer of hope appearing in his eyes. "Yes!"
Even if Lu Li is unconscious, there's still Sister Jing Liu!
"She's so capable, she can definitely handle it, right?"
Then she saw Walter nod and then shake his head.
"Jing Liu sensed your aura on the evil dragon."
"She tried to wake you, but failed."
"In the end, she had to kill the monster that was created from your flesh and blood and the hopes of your dearest friend with her own hands."
Bai Heng froze on the spot upon hearing this.
Mirror Flow...
personally……
Slay a "monster" that possesses her aura...?
Bai Heng couldn't even imagine how much pain Jing Liu must have been in back then.
How desperate...
"No……"
Bai Heng shook his head desperately, tears streaming down his face.
"How could this happen..."
aside.
Looking at the crying Bai Heng, Lu Li sighed inwardly.
Although this was neither Bai Heng's fault nor his intention.
But given Bai Heng's personality, once he finds out... he'll probably blame himself for all these mistakes and feel extremely distressed, right?
That's why he was hesitant about whether or not he should tell her these things.
But... even if they don't say it.
Bai Heng will eventually find out, won't he?
Lu Li scratched his head in frustration.
I'm definitely not used to dealing with this kind of thing.
...It's even more frustrating than not being able to eat salted fish.
Since we've already started telling the story, it's better to end it quickly than to suffer for a long time.
Walter continued speaking.
"After the evil dragon was slain, Yingxing was accidentally corrupted by a sudden curse and turned into an immortal monster, forever tormented by the demonic spirit... and his whereabouts remain unknown to this day."
"And because Jingliu personally killed 'you,' he lost his mind and completely fell into the demonic state, although in the end...
Walter glanced at Lu Li.
"...For some reason, she miraculously regained her senses, but she still requested to be exiled from Luofu and her whereabouts are unknown."
"As one of the main culprits of the Moon Drinking Rebellion, Danfeng was stripped of his position as Dragon Lord, forcibly reincarnated through the Rebirth Technique, and exiled to the Star Sea, never to return home."
"As for Jing Yuan... as you know, he was appointed to the position of Shence General in a time of crisis."
"One person has been guarding the land that you once protected together, until this day."
Walter's voice faded.
Bai Heng took two steps back in disbelief and collapsed weakly onto the sofa.
How could this be...?
How could this happen...?
Her most cherished companions were either dead, insane, gone, or scattered.
Even Lu Li lost all his memories in order to save her.
I wonder how they survived those seven hundred years...
"It was my fault……"
"It's all...my fault..."
Bai Heng curled up on the sofa, his thin shoulders trembling violently.
"It's all my fault... If only I had died back then..."
"If they didn't intend to resurrect me..."
"Wouldn't... these things not have happened then?"
Regret and self-blame overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.
She would rather Lu Li hadn't saved her and she had actually died seven hundred years ago.
He didn't want to see his companions suffer such a fate because of him.
"Sister Baiheng..."
"Bai Heng..."
Seeing Bai Heng crying, San Yueqi and Xing were also very sad.
But they didn't know what to say, so they could only stay by Bai Heng's side, one on each side.
The only sound in the entire carriage was Bai Heng's suppressed, heartbroken sobs.
until--
That's not your fault.
A calm voice suddenly rang out in the carriage, breaking the oppressive atmosphere.
A figure appeared in front of Bai Heng at some point, quietly looking at the girl who was crying so hard she could hardly breathe.
The person who arrived... was none other than Lu Li!
