The demon princess was defeated and captured? Sorry, I acted in it)

But the words she said with a tilted head and a smile made Xue Feiya feel that everything she had just said was in vain!

"Yeah, Sister Wang is right, but if this happens again, I will still do the same thing, right? No, it seems that the ceremony of swearing obedience is only enough once, right? There is no point in doing it again? Hehe, anyway, it has been settled once and for all!"

"Huh? You..."

"Ah... Sister Wang, you don't think I'm joking, do you?"

"..."

broken.

Xue Feiya heard this.

I saw the sudden light in Bellis' eyes.

I roughly guessed what she wanted to say.

Don’t...don’t say that, sister. You used to be a child with aspirations and dreams.

[Sister Wang, please stop. I will never approve of your behavior, ever.]

And he always thinks about becoming stronger...Heaven and earth are not convinced?

[I will surpass Sister Wang. It’s just empty talk now, but I will do it in the future, absolutely, even if it means burning myself to death.]

You have always been a stubborn person...!

But at this time.

Under the bright light of the two moons, Bellis still did not give up on becoming stronger, but her state of mind had completely changed. She knelt on one knee again.

Place your palms over your heart.

Bellis smiled and bowed her head, closing her eyes to emphasize the point.

"I used to think that it would be extremely shameful to bow down to Sister Wang."

"But now that I really did it, I feel really good."

"I will become stronger and continue to become stronger, and become closer to Sister Wang, even if it's just a little bit. If Sister Wang wants to become a demon king, I will become Sister Wang's strength and assist her forever. If Sister Wang doesn't want to be a demon king, it doesn't matter. For Sister Wang, I will also take that position."

"But even if I become the Demon King..."

"I also want to continue to be a good child spoiled by Sister Wang..."

"There's no one else here, so Sister Wang... you don't think I'm joking, do you?"

78. Returning Home in the Falling Snow

It was obvious that she was not joking.

Well... there's no rush to discuss this matter. It's too early to talk about the next Demon King. Dad is very competent now, and we don't need to worry about these troublesome things!

What is really troublesome is the current situation.

Xue Feiya looked forward.

The strange-colored moonlight enveloped Bellis, who was half-kneeling beside the stream with her head held high.

Her clear and trusting eyes seemed quite surprising to Xue Feiya.

Well...

Was Bellis so pretty before?

A face that is no less beautiful than jade, and eyes that are surrounded by boundless spiritual energy.

Since Xuefei looks a lot like her, it might sound a bit boastful to say this.

I always treated her like a child before, but...Xue Feiya has recently felt that maybe her sister is really...

A pretty good-looking guy, huh?

"Sister Wang, are you thinking of something disrespectful...?"

"No, don't frame me. Oh... all right, get up quickly. There's no one else here. I know what you mean. Don't you mind the rocks below..."

Xuefei waved her left hand and said these words seemingly casually, but in fact she didn't look directly at Bellis.

She had been feeling more and more that she didn't know how to look at her recently.

Especially the heartfelt words they expressed to each other in the arena that day, and the shocking move made by Bellis today.

When Bellis patted her black skirt with a wry smile and stood up, she heard her beloved voice calling out.

"Belis."

"Sister Wang, I'm here."

"Can you explain why?"

The water of the stream rushes rapidly, hitting the rocks along the streamside.

In the silence, a wail of water splashing out was heard.

There was no one else here in the deep mountains and old forests, so Xue Feiya wanted to tell her some more true words.

When people want to tell the truth, it is often because they cannot see their own true feelings, so they hope that she can tell it.

When she heard this question, Bellis was stunned and thought about it. After all, Xuefei's question was a little too sudden.

But smart Bellis quickly understood the meaning of her question.

Sister Wang wants to ask...why do I like you?

Or, why do I like you?

When asked this question, maybe I should feel a little disappointed.

After all, when she asked “Why do you like me”, what she meant was – I don’t like you now.

But when Bellis heard this, she was not sad at all.

Instead, I was ecstatic about it.

The meaning behind this question is not just "I don't like you now."

And – “I don’t hate you now.”

Because if you hate it, why bother asking?

Only Bellis, who has been hated by her loved one, knows how precious the word "not hate" is.

She was not in a hurry to answer the question.

because...

Just as white as her current mood.

She looked up at the sky.

"Sister Wang, it's snowing."

"Um...?"

The two sisters stretched out their hands at the same time, spread their palms flat, and faced the dark evening sky.

It is hard to imagine that angel feathers can fall in such a dark sky.

Two snowflakes fell on the palms of both people at the same time. The ice crystals were warmed by the temperature of the palms and quickly turned into crystal water droplets that rolled down.

From this point on, sparse white snow began to fall, gently playing a concerto of wind and snow in the woods.

Xue Fei patted the snowflakes hanging on the ends of her silver hair, thinking that it is indeed this season, huh...?

It is late autumn and winter is approaching.

There will always be a snowfall to herald the change of seasons and the passing of time.

She doesn't hate snowy days.

After all, her name "Xuefeiya" comes from snow.

The angel who came to the world on a snowy day was the meaning of her name given by her mother.

Xuefei was thinking this...but she didn't expect that Bellis would say exactly what she was thinking.

“I love snowy days.”

"Oh... That's a coincidence. I know you like snow. When we were kids, every winter you would lie on the windowsill and ask me when it would snow. That made me upset... I'm not a god, so how would I know when it would snow?"

"Sister Wang is the God of Bellis."

"Come on, I'm not capable of being a god. For example, there was no snow during that drought. Who could have predicted that?"

“But, the snow still fell that year.”

"..."

Some things are not so important to Xuefeiya, so she may forget them.

But the same thing, for Bellis...is a hymn of love.

The snow was falling more and more heavily.

Bellis lifted the hem of her black skirt, spread her black wings, and danced gracefully in the snowy forest.

As beautiful as a dark elf in winter.

Xuefei sat on the cold stone unconsciously, silently watching Bellis's dance, without rushing to stop.

In fact, even she herself was a little surprised.

I didn't really want to see her dance, but when I saw her smiling face...

I think it’s okay to just be patient and wait.

And the scene before me seems familiar.

Before...did Bellis also call me to watch her dance?

The snow?

But it didn’t snow that year.

The graceful dance steps stopped, raising the snow dust. Bellis lightly lifted the hem of her skirt on both sides, slightly bent her knees, and exhaled a hot breath to signal her end of the dance to Xuefia.

Princess in the snow, Bellis raised her beautiful eyes slightly, and the silver-white reflected in her eyes was not the overwhelming snow.

It was Sister Wang’s silver hair that was more holy than snow.

"It didn't snow that year, but I had been looking forward to it. When I saw the weather getting warmer and there was no hope, I lay on the windowsill and cried."

"It seems like that happened... What happened afterwards?"

"Sister Wang said I was a crybaby and had no future, and that I was troublesome."

"Right~ I guess that's what I should say. You were a crybaby when you were a kid."

"Then, Sister Wang used magic to make heavy snow fall in the Demon King's Castle. I still saw snow that year."

"..."

The grand snow dances tenderly and happily.

The snow is coming.

But when she was dancing at that time, was she still seeing snow?

It's snow.

But maybe, it’s already another kind of “snow”.

You ask me why I love you.

I'm sorry, Sister Wang, I can't tell you the exact answer.

Because love is engraved in every daily snowy day and spreads on every sunny day without snow.

Thinking of you, missing you, thinking about every one of your worries, are the answers.

So many answers...How does Sister Wang want me to answer?

"And the reason why I first liked snowy days... was because my mother told me the origin of my sister's name? Ahahaha... so every year if I can't see snow, I feel empty inside. I was so angry with myself that I cried when I was a child."

You are an angel.

I am the white snow gifted to me by God. I am the dry land, always waiting for your endless coming.
