After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

That's all.

She turned around and walked back the way she came.

Behind him, the figure of the ancient sword master slowly dissipated.

"I never imagined that after ten thousand years, there would still be such a fool in the world."

The sound gradually faded away.

In the video, Ding Wan's steps are firm, without the slightest hesitation.

Above the clouds, Xu Ze watched this scene and felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

……

In the second picture, Bai Yuxi is standing in a peach grove.

Peach blossoms are in full bloom, and petals are falling in profusion.

A stream meanders through the area, its water crystal clear. In the distance, a few thatched cottages stand with wisps of smoke rising from their chimneys, creating a scene reminiscent of a secluded paradise.

Bai Yuxi stood under the peach tree, her eyes filled with amazement.

"so beautiful."

She reached out and caught a falling petal.

Just then, a figure emerged from the thatched hut.

It was an elderly woman with white hair, leaning on a cane, with a kind face.

"Child, you've come."

Bai Yuxi was slightly taken aback.

"you are……"

Chapter 161, Third Dungeon, Cleared

Looking at the lovely, charming white-haired, fox-eared girl in front of him.

"I am the ancestor of the fox demon clan," the old woman said with a kind smile. "This is the place you have always wanted."

She raised her hand and pointed to the surrounding peach grove.

"Here, there are endless spiritual fruits to eat, inexhaustible spiritual spring water to drink, and breathtaking scenery to behold..."

"You can stay here as long as you want, and do whatever you want."

Bai Yuxi followed the other person's finger and was stunned for a moment.

This is something she always wanted when she was little, even in her dreams.

Quiet, beautiful, and peaceful.

"But I..."

She opened her mouth, as if to say something.

The old woman looked at her with eyes full of love.

"Stay, child, you deserve this kind of life."

Bai Yuxi fell silent.

She looked at the peach blossoms, the stream, and the few thatched cottages.

This place is truly beautiful.

It's also very tempting.

But at this moment, Bai Yuxi only had one figure in her mind.

Clad in green robes, wielding a sword, his demeanor as calm as still water.

"Owner……"

She murmured to herself, as if that was the only thing that mattered to her right now.

Hearing the little fox's mutterings, the old woman who claimed to be the ancestor of the fox demon frowned slightly.

"Owner?"

"You are a demon, he is a human!"

"Are you content to be his slave and him your master? You have the blood of a nine-tailed fox in your veins!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuxi shook her head repeatedly.

"No, not a servant, but a family member."

She looked up at the old woman.

"Everything I want is here, except for him."

"Without him, even the most beautiful place is just a cage."

She turned around and walked back the way she came.

Behind him, the old woman's figure slowly disappeared.

"...What a devoted little fox."

Bai Yuxi did not turn around.

Her steps were light, and her eyes were filled with laughter.

Xu Ze watched this scene quietly, his smile growing even wider.

……

In the third picture.

Mu Qinghe stood amidst a starry sky.

Countless stars surrounded her, some large, some small, some bright, some dim.

She could sense that each star contained immense power.

She can absorb these powers to become stronger if she so chooses.

But she didn't move.

Because she saw someone.

A person who looks exactly like her.

"Who are you?" Mu Qinghe asked.

She smiled slightly.

"I am you."

"Are you me?"

“Yes,” “she” said, “I am the truest version of yourself deep inside.”

Mu Qinghe was stunned.

The person "she" stepped forward, reached out, and gently stroked her cheek.

"Qinghe, do you know that you've always lived a very tiring life?"

Mu Qinghe remained silent.

“From a young age, you have lived in your mother’s shadow.”

"She's too strong, so strong that no matter how hard you try, you can't catch up with her."

"You can only hide behind her and be a well-behaved little princess."

"Later, you met Xu Ze."

"You think you've found someone to rely on, someone to belong to. But are you really content with that?"

That "she" stared into Mu Qinghe's eyes.

Are you really willing to forever remain a little girl, forever hiding behind others?

Mu Qinghe's eyes reddened; she had always wanted to live for herself.

"I……"

“You can become stronger,” “she” said. “There is infinite power here. If you are willing, you can become stronger than anyone else. Strong enough to protect yourself, strong enough to protect those you want to protect.”

"Stay here, Qinghe, stay here and become stronger."

Mu Qinghe lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.

Then, she looked up and smiled.

That smile was radiant and pure.

“You’re right, I want to become stronger,” she said, “but not here.”

The woman frowned slightly.

"why?"

“Because,” Mu Qinghe said, “I want to become stronger so that I can walk with him. I want to become stronger so that I can have my own dignity in front of the Empress Dowager.”

"But what's the point of getting stronger if they're not here?"

She turned around and walked back the way she came.

After taking a few steps, he stopped again.

"Thank you." She turned around and smiled at "her." "It made me realize that I also have ambitions."

Then, she disappeared into the starry sky.

The person "she" stood there, watching her back, a complex emotion flashing in their eyes.

Finally, it turned into starlight and vanished.

In the fourth picture, the person standing there made Xu Ze pause slightly.
