Chapter 119 Cinderella's Tears
Wang Xi raised his hand and waved it lightly, causing magic to surge.

Amidst the swirling icy mist, three ice crystal chairs materialized out of thin air on the snow, providing them with a place to sit and chat.

The sun is shining brightly right now, and with the Snow Queen protecting the castle from the wind and snow, it's not so cold.

Godaril and Pinocchio were both very surprised to see this.

"Gai, how do you know ice magic?!"

Godalier sat down and touched the ice crystal chair in surprise. Her fingers didn't feel cold, just slightly cool.

During her training in the Magic Forest Flower Kingdom, she heard from a forest fairy that within the Deer Kingdom, only the Ice Queen possessed ice magic.

Isabella is the legend of the snow-capped mountain peak.

But now I've seen a second person with my own eyes.

"During this time, I sought magical knowledge from Her Majesty Isabella, and it was from her that I learned ice magic."

Wang Xi also sat down and casually explained.

Godaril was taken aback, then felt a pang of shame and lowered her head, saying:

“Gai, your talent far surpasses mine. I’ve been studying under Fairy Bettina for almost a year, but I’m still far from being as good as you…”

"Don't underestimate yourself, Godardiel."

Wang Xi smiled gently.

"Your talent surpasses that of 99 percent of the people in this world, while I only progressed faster because of an innate curse, but that's nothing to envy... You don't understand how agonizing that kind of pain is."

No.

Gai.

I actually understand.

Godaril felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing the words of comfort, but she murmured to herself in secret.

Every time you deliberately push me away with lies, I feel that pain. I think this longing for you over the past six months is no easier to bear than being cursed…

“Gai, before I came to the snow mountain, I heard Her Majesty Queen Xiana and the court ministers arguing. It seemed like something serious had happened.”

At this moment, Pinocchio spoke.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xi immediately knew what it was about.

When he returned last time, he saw the predicted future trajectory in the "Seclusion Preview"... The Northerners, for some unknown reason, suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Stag Kingdom.

The northern border of the kingdom is currently mostly affected by war, and letters requesting aid are raining down on Daphne.

Queen Sienna must be troubled by this matter.

Ok.

The Queen's Sword, which has been dormant for more than half a year, is ready to be unsheathed.

"I heard from the fairies of the Flower Kingdom that the northern border has been attacked again by the northerners..."

Godaril quietly joined the discussion.

She raised her face and looked at the black-haired youth.

“Gai, it seems that the County of Rendall has also fallen, but this time the situation is much more serious... Our former homeland is probably gone forever.”

Randolph is, after all, the place where I grew up, a place filled with many childhood memories. Even though my parents and relatives are no longer here and I have no more attachments, I still feel a pang of sadness when I hear that my hometown has been trampled by iron hooves.

"What?!" Pinocchio exclaimed in surprise. "Gai, your and Goddari's homeland has been destroyed..."

As he spoke, he clenched his fists and said indignantly:
"You wretched northerners, I'm not finished with you!"

The puppet boy was very willing to empathize with his friends. He felt a fire burning in his chest, and his fists were throbbing with a twisted heat.

Wang Xi patted Pinocchio on the shoulder.

“Thank you,” he said. “Her Majesty Queen Siana trusts me, bestowing upon me the title of Prince and the title of ‘Sword of the Queen’… I think it’s time for me to descend the mountain and share her burdens.”

Furthermore, although Her Majesty Isabella did not say anything, he could not pretend that he knew nothing.

The teacher was unwilling to get involved in the kingdom's affairs and was focused on seclusion in the snowy mountains to study magic. However, Xiana was, after all, her own sister, and Wang Xi, as a student, should help her.

"Kai, I'll go with you!"

Pinocchio stood up abruptly and said impatiently.

"These past six months in Daphne have been so boring. I've been spending every day with the puppet legion... Those court ministers seem to be afraid of me, and no one wants to talk to me."

"I am coming too!"

Godaril quickly stood up and echoed.

She looked uneasy.

"Gai, Fairy Bettina said I've mastered the ability to protect myself... I'm no longer a burden to you, please don't abandon me."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xi looked at the girl.

"Cinderella Godariel (Friendly/3-Star/Elite)"

After more than half a year, her strength has increased by another star.

Samsung Elite's capabilities are indeed sufficient to protect themselves.

At this point, Godalier, seemingly worried that Kai would reject her again, added:
"I learned nature magic and wind magic in the Flower Kingdom. I am skilled in healing and cleansing, and I can also play a supporting role in battle... Kai, please believe me, I can definitely help you!"

Looking at the girl's flushed face, full of longing, Wang Xi couldn't help but recall how she had abandoned everything to escape with him, and how she had repeatedly risked her safety to climb the snow-capped mountains to find him.

In the end, I couldn't bring myself to refuse.

He stood up, walked to the open space to the side, turned to the girl and smiled:

“Let me see the results of your training in the Flower Kingdom this past year, Godariel.”

“Okay!” the girl replied quickly.

Godariel removed her cloak and hung it on the ice crystal chair, then walked nervously to the open space.

"Don't hold back, cast your spell on me with all your might."

Wang Xi smiled and nodded.

Godaril hummed in agreement, her expression turning serious.

Whizzing--

She raised her hand and released two arc-shaped, semi-transparent wind blades that swept across the snow and flew straight toward Wang Xi.

At the same time, Godariel clasped her hands together, her palms gleaming with a faint green light, and magical fluctuations ruffled her flaxen hair.

"thorns."

She pushed her palm forward, and thick, thorny vines sprouted from the snow beneath Wang Xi's feet, wrapping tightly around his legs like a swarm of snakes, restricting his movement.

Two wind blades were already hurtling towards us!

Combo attack!

Snapped!Snapped!
Two loud explosions rang out. The wind blades landed on Wang Xi's raised arm, but were blocked by the arm armor made of ice crystals—the wind blades that could easily cut through wooden stakes failed to leave a mark on its surface, dissipating directly into a strong wind that blew snowflakes flying.

Kaka...

The vines that wrapped around Wang Xi's legs were covered in frost until they froze into ice.

With a single movement, he shattered the vines.

Ice flowers splashed everywhere as Wang Xi strode forward, walking leisurely towards Godalier.

With his current strength, he could easily have flashed in front of his opponent and taken him down in one strike. But he didn't do that; instead, he took his time.

After all, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.

He just wanted to see Godalier's true level, so he deliberately held back, giving her plenty of time to react.

Seeing that the combination magic had no effect on Gai, Godariel pursed her lips and raised her hand to summon a wooden broom.

This appears to be her magic wand.

The girl raised the broom, pointed the end of the stick at Wang Xi, and muttered a difficult incantation, her expression showing some strain.

Boo hoo hoo hoo——

The wind howled continuously as blades of wind gathered in front of the broom and were unleashed in rapid succession, tracing chaotic yet straight lines across the snow.

Wang Xi was covered in a set of ice crystal armor, including his face, leaving only a cross-shaped gap—making him look like a knight statue made of azure crystal.

Crackling! !
The wind blades slashed at him, making a series of loud noises, but they couldn't hurt him in the slightest, nor could they even hinder his progress.

Goddariel's pupils contracted slightly.

She had already overestimated Jia's strength, but she didn't expect that the wind blades she unleashed at full power would be like a gentle breeze in front of him, having no effect whatsoever.

As the young man approached step by step, Godariel chanted incantations and cast spells again.

wow-

Suddenly, intertwined vines sprouted from beneath her feet, lifting Godalier and propelling her rapidly backward.

Like surfing, he glided across the snow using vines—instantly putting more than ten meters between himself and Wang Xi.

Wang Xi secretly admired it.

With this natural magic that grants emergency protection, Godariel's survivability has increased to another level.

Just as Godariel raised her broom, preparing to unleash another wind blade at Gai, the figure in front of her had vanished, leaving only a cluster of snowflakes that had exploded in the spot.

bang——

The next second, she felt a strong wind hit her face, her hair flew up, and she couldn't open her eyes.

When she came to her senses, the Ice Knight was already standing beside her, and with a snap, he reached out and grabbed her broom.

"?!"

Godaril was taken aback at first.

Immediately, he lowered his head, his face darkening.

She knew that if the enemy had grabbed her wand at such close range on the battlefield, she would probably be dead by now.

"I lost, Kai."

As she spoke, for some reason, tears welled up uncontrollably in Godalier's eyes, and she choked out:

"I'm sorry, I... I'm so useless."

A nameless fear arose in her heart.

Fear of being abandoned.

But this fear soon transformed into a kind of obsession—for nearly a year, she had suffered the torment of unrequited love in the Flower Kingdom, burying herself in arduous cultivation day and night, all for the sake of being worthy to stay by Kai's side.

She couldn't accept that she was useless.

I find this outcome even more unacceptable...

As soon as Wang Xi removed his ice armor, he saw Godariel's pretty face rapidly changing expressions—sometimes sad, sometimes painful, sometimes indifferent.

He couldn't help but be shocked.

Judging from this situation...

Is he going to turn evil?!
From the moment Godaril followed him out of Randolph and stabbed a guard for him out of concern, Wang Xi had always felt that this girl harbored a hint of yandere tendencies.

If I refuse her now, will it summon a violent crash from the pumpkin carriage...?

"Godalier."

Wang Xi gently grasped her trembling hand and whispered, "Do you remember what I told you? You must learn to protect yourself and become strong. Only in this way can you survive in today's world."

"You've done it. In just one year, you've grown from a girl with no fighting ability into a nature witch who can cast combination spells. That's truly remarkable."

"I was amazed by the series of spells that just now, such as the thorn binding, the wind blade attack, and the vine sliding."

"Ok?"

The girl raised her tear-streaked face and stared blankly at the young man's smile.

“I know how much effort you’ve put into me this past year, and I’ve always understood your intentions.”

Wang Xi raised his hand and wiped away her tears.

"Now, you not only have the ability to protect yourself, but you also have a better grasp of healing magic... Queen Siana needs her sword, but this sword also needs her Cinderella."

“Come with me, Godariel.”

"Gai!"

Godaril bit her lip, threw herself into his arms, and burst into tears.

Wang Xi hugged the girl's back, his chest once again soaked with tears.

Click...

He heard the familiar sound of gears turning.

"The gear-shaped brand has been cured!"

Current corruption progress: 0/100

Wang Xi was stunned.

The remaining quarter of the corruption was wiped out.

At that moment, he seemed to understand something.

A cure for corruption...

It's true love.
