The Spirit World

Chapter 985 Shadow Falling (Twenty-one)
The moment of despair is when the brilliance of life bursts out!

What is born from this is the ephemeral flower that dies at the first touch.

"The missing person is Gong. According to what the reporter has learned, Gong's sister Xiaolin also disappeared three months ago. Gong suffered a great blow at the time. His disappearance is likely related to this incident. Okay, let's look at the next report..."

The host on TV was flipping through the manuscript efficiently, while she in front of the screen calmly picked up her lighter and lit a thin white cigarette.

"Heh, the girl with him is still the same girl from three thousand years ago."

Her red lips intertwined with the cigarette holder. She looked at the screen on TV with a little disdain. She threw the remote control away and switched to the magic channel: "Why didn't you protect him this time?"

The exquisite jewels and gold and silver made her so much more noble and elegant.

"Jun'ichi Tachibana is like that. He's only reliable at certain times." A man was lying on his back with his back against a circular sofa. He was wearing sunglasses in the broad daylight and was not afraid of being squeezed in his suit. He looked completely powerless while lying on his back.

He looked at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling and exhaled: "Oh... who knows... after all, it's her, isn't it?"

He suddenly thought of something and turned to look at the elegant woman: "What kind of devil is she?"

"Hmph!" The woman snorted in response, and the man continued to stare at the ceiling in a daze.

In this villa far away somewhere, everything is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even the cups they used came from the Heavenly Palace, and they reveal the "divinity" of the Heavenly Palace all the time.

In addition to these two, there was a woman in a white hood sitting cross-legged next to them playing games. It was an old-fashioned card-based game console that looked very retro, and the projected images were also quite old.

This woman is very chic, with short hair, shorts and a hood, she has a very unique style, but her makeup is simple and elegant, with an exotic charm.

When she heard their conversation pause, she interrupted again. This made the candy in her mouth appear.

"My little nephew...which life is he in now?"

"What little nephew?" The man looked up in surprise: "You have a little nephew? Which fairy has descended to the mortal world again?"

"Yinglan's son." The hooded woman looked at him with disdain, and the game console suddenly returned to the initial interface. It turned out that the character she was controlling was dead.

"There are no lower realms left. My good sisters, Li Xiuyuan, are eager to marry me. How can those stinky bugs from the lower realms have a chance to marry me?"

Li Xiuyuan threw away the game console and took off his hood: "My little nephew hasn't passed the trial yet? Why is he so slow?"

Li Xiuyuan asked, and the elegant man just glanced at her, put the cigarette between his ring finger and middle finger, took a puff of the cigarette with the back of his hand turned, entangled his feet, crossed his legs, and raised his high heels slowly slid over her toes, but did not stop.

She grinned playfully.

"The tenth incarnation has already been born. The princess' tenth incarnation... has lived too long... Karma, karma... Even if it's a series of good dramas... The king who didn't keep his promise... and the princess with eyes full of resentment... How will it end... It's really exciting..."

The more playful her words were, the tighter Li Xiuyuan's brows furrowed.

This means that things have gotten worse.

"The tenth life..." Li Xiuyuan was a little shocked...

"No, it should be the quasi-eleventh generation who has just been born... and your nephew is the ninth generation, quasi-tenth generation." The woman actually laughed to herself with interest.

“Time, love, are all bitter. You can’t escape from what you want to escape, and you can’t touch what you don’t want to escape from… It’s out of reach… Hahahaha…”

Her hearty laughter sounded a little timid.

"Li Xiuyuan, do you always remember what Chang Yinglan said to you?"

"Which ones do you mean?"

"Your nephew..."

Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment and responded: "Help him escape Victoria's doom... and... [The Realm of Ultimate Illusion]..." She remembered something and jumped up from the smooth floor.

"Have all the big demons awakened?"

Her pupils suddenly expanded and then contracted.

"Oh my God... my little nephew..."

"Hahahahaha..."

The lady laughed happily, and her voice was indeed soft. She herself was a very gentle person, so this laugh was also filled with the sweetness of her gentleness.

"As early as half a year ago, the last great demon king awakened. There are nine of them, lurking in various places in the spirit world. From what we can see now, the Ultimate Illusionary Realm has already been activated... Your little nephew... should have been trapped in it a long time ago..."

The noble lady gave Li Xiuyuan a charming look, and Li Xiuyuan suddenly put on a white robe. The gossamer-like gorgeous clothes replaced Li Xiuyuan's hooded clothes, and the "fairy air" that was "visible to the naked eye" - turned into clouds and mist lingering around her. She was floating in the air, shining with golden light.

With the whisk back on her wrist, the white sleeves on her knees and the black cloud on her waist, Li Xiuyuan is no longer a cool girl, but an immortal from nowhere.

However, she doesn't look like an immortal.

She anxiously flicked her whisk, opening the door of time and space.

"If Yinglan knew about this, she would probably embarrass me."

She suddenly spoke in a flowery manner, perhaps to match her fairy-like dress and make her look more open and forthright.

"There are only a few things I can do... and I forgot to do the second one..."

"Maybe it's because Yinglan can still meet and talk with us, the loneliness of death is indeed less."

The noble lady spoke a few words on behalf of Li Xiuyuan.

"Death... these are what humans fear the most... so we gradually start to neglect them..."

What she might have meant was that Yinglan was already dead, but the spirit world was too magical and death had lost its original meaning.

How terrible it is that people don't fear death...

"So... as the [Guardian], why can't Chang Yinglan come down to the lower world again? So many other people can come down, but she can't..."

The man seemed to not understand what they were saying, and was not interested in Li Xiuyuan's changes. He slowly asked: "The rules of the Heavenly Palace are so loose, can't they accommodate a human guardian like her?"

"Guardian... um..." The lady thought, crossed her legs and swayed, then lowered her head as if she had not thought of the answer, her eyes moving over Li Xiuyuan again.

"I don't quite understand... I don't quite know... I don't quite remember... The Heavenly Palace has its own arrangements for its affairs. If you want to delve into it, I don't have time to deal with it."

Li Xiuyuan interrupted the noble lady. She had already stepped half a foot into the door of time and space. In the huge villa yard, everything about her was as long and leisurely as the wind and rain.

"In the final analysis... we are no longer human beings, and lack the strengths and weaknesses of humans."

The lady answered on her own.

I don’t know if this is an answer to the question just now.

"Maybe."

Li Xiuyuan flicked his whisk, and the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water passed by, the moon rose, and disappeared.

The door of time and space slammed shut, taking away a gust of longing called the wind.
