Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

Goodbye, Aglaia.

[Bai'er: Alas, even in my imagination, you cannot unload your heavy burden. Aglaia, Onpharos's future will surely be as you wish.]

[Aglaia: I'm really looking forward to it.]

[Waaaaah, Lady Aglaia, you are the best leader!]

[Clatrus: I offer you the highest respect, the Suspended One. I was short-sighted to have even insulted you.]

[Aglaia: There's no need for that. You saved my master, didn't you?]

[Fufu: Our little white rabbit.]

As everyone disappeared, a familiar voice echoed in Bai E's ears.

"Hmph...who have you forgotten?"

"Ha, forgot you? How could that be?" Bai E shrugged. "It's not like we're facing life and death. You're just going to guard the gate in Xuanfeng City. Don't get involved in such a tearful occasion."

"Ha...you still know so well how to make people uncomfortable."

Wan Di stood with his back to Bai E, saying, "I have a premonition that we will meet again in this world. Let's have another contest when we have the chance, Savior."

"So confident?"

Bai'e took out Qin Chen. "I'm not the same as before. See this sword? It's a top-quality sword that was just forged by Hattonus."

"Ha... a mere mortal who has not yet seized the power of the Titans, yet he speaks with such arrogance."

Wan Di waved his hand, "See you later, Bai E of the Ai Li Secret Pavilion."

"It's settled, Medmos."

[Wan Di: Savior, I knew I was right, you really infuriate me.]

[Bai E: Haha, of course, and only to you. Wan Di, you're the one I trust the most, so don't let me down.]

[Wan Di: Keep your heart to yourself. Hmph, I'm more worried you'll fall to your death first.]

[Bai E: That won't do, I am the one destined for us.]

[Fireworks: The moment I look forward to the most! You two always have something special to offer, I love it.]

"...It was a sad, yet wonderful journey."

"And it's not over yet... right?"

Bai E affirmed: "Yes, Xi Lian."

Xi Lian appeared with Bai E behind her, the clouds were rendered in a gentle pink, and the background became a deep starry sky.

"I knew it! In the end, you did become the savior in this story."

Bai Er quietly recounted, "In the time you were gone... many things changed. I met all sorts of people and did many different things. I picked up some resolutions... and let go of some obsessions."

"I have changed a lot."

Xi Lian smiled: "But, in my opinion—you've never changed, Bai E."

Chapter 448 Lies

[Fou: This girl doesn't have many scenes, but her presence is extremely strong. I feel that she is hiding Onphalus's biggest secret.]

Paimon: I don't want to know everything.

[Mimi: Mimi...Mimi, Mimi!]

[Star: Don't pretend you don't know! You didn't say anything before, and now you're spouting riddles.]

[Bai E: Xi Lian, what are you hiding?]

A few days later, at dawn on Cloud Cliff.

Saifeier looked up at Kefal, "Ah, Dawn Cloud Cliff... My memories of this place are truly a mix of emotions."

“I remember back then… looking down the mountain from here, you could easily spot the Jinzhi sign.”

"A thousand years have passed, and my eyesight is not as sharp as it used to be..."

Enter her memories.

A dusty kitten was lying on the tailor shop counter. Aglaia was about to scold it when Saifei interrupted her, looking anxious.

"Seamstress, I'm asking you a question!"

"Does Ohmma have any rare treasures that even you... uh... even our shop doesn't have?"

Aglaia pondered for a moment, “Of course. I’ve heard that somewhere in Dawn Cloud Cliffs lies a world-class gem, said to be a fragment that fell from the Dawn Machine.”

"As part of the body of the god Cephalus, it is a truly priceless treasure, and even gold could not tarnish its pearly luster."

“The World’s Gem…” Saifei repeated softly.

She pulled down her black hood, obscuring most of her vision, and a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes. "Ha, I've got it! You go ahead and do your work at the shop, I'll go first..."

Aglaia seemed thoughtful. "Let me guess what you're thinking, Sefaria."

"You're probably already planning how to infiltrate Dawn Cloud Cliff and steal that gem, aren't you?"

“…Hmm.” Sai Fei’er remained silent.

"You probably also have a next step in mind: to sell it for a good price and then distribute the proceeds to the poor and refugees of the holy city..."

The kitten pouted, puffing out its cheeks: "Seamstress, were you really not using gold thread to spy on my thoughts?"

Aglaia smiled. "You're only good at covering up lies. But your compassion is always written all over your face."

"Don't deceive yourself. Believe in your heart... Do you think this is the right thing to do, Sefaria?"

"...Then what else can I do?" Sai Feier looked up, her beautiful eyes seemingly covered by gauze, losing their luster. "With my power, this is all I can do."

"Seamstress, you often said that I have the potential to become a good person, even a hero in everyone's eyes..."

She said dejectedly, "But I don't know what to do... I can't weave shimmering fabrics like you, nor do I have a beautiful singing voice like Sister Heather, and I certainly can't be as knowledgeable as Sister Tibo..."

"The only thing I'm good at... is the kind of work I learned on the streets, the kind of work that everyone considers shady!"

As Saifei spoke, a slight sob escaped her throat, "But even so, I want... I want to be worthy of your choice. Even a thief has the right to dream, right..."

[Saifei: Oh dear, how embarrassing! I hope Sister Tibo won't laugh at me.]

[Tibao: Little Fei'er is so cute!]

[Star: Since Cypher already had the idea of ​​changing herself back then, how come she still became Onpharos's cat phantom thief now?]

[Aglaia: Sigh, we've only seen each other a handful of times since she left the priesthood academy, and I don't even know the whole story.]

[Saifei: Lies are indeed nobler than truth, at least in Onphalus.]

[Aglaia: You've endured a thousand years of suffering just for it. My heart aches for you, Sephalia.]

[Sai Fei'er: Don't say anything sentimental, I'm completely defenseless. Seamstress, I want a hug, I want a hug~]

[Hanabi: Pfft. I want a hug, I want a hug~]

[Feng Jin: It's really nice to see a different side of you two, haha, I'm so happy.]

[Abao: Little fish, I also want to hear you say you want a hug.]

[Cat: No way! Come on, you from the last life, pull yourself together!]

Sigh, this kitten has never experienced love.

Aglaia's gaze softened as she whispered, "I understand, Sefalia... I understand."

“You have a million reasons to complain, because fate is so unfair. The road you are going to take is destined to be more tortuous... On this journey, you will inevitably have to endure people’s misunderstandings in the shadows.”

"But you must believe that everyone is a unique being in this world."

"Even if we include the three hundred rogues of the Dolores legend... I still firmly believe that you will be the only chosen one who can bear the divine duty of cunning."

It has to be said, Aglaia is really good at coaxing cats.

In Saifei's eyes, the most beautiful woman in Ohma, Jinzhi, seemed to be draped in dazzling golden light, attracting her attention even more than those gold coins and jewels.

“A...Aglaia…”

"If only I could make everyone believe in me... I want everyone to think that the world is a wonderful place... that people in the world are simple and kind."

Even if I know it's a lie, if enough people believe it... can a lie become the truth...?

Aglaia paused slightly, then patted her little head.

“A lie is always a lie, Sefaria…”

"However, at certain times... it can indeed protect honesty and nobility."

[Walter: Miss Seifer's power is indeed terrifying; as long as everyone in Onphalus believes a lie, it can become reality.]

[Saifei: It's tough. I can't even get past Aglaia, let alone Nashia before that.]

[Hanabi: You really don't know how to have fun. If you gave me that ability, I could put a firework bomb in Leicus's chest. Just thinking about it makes me laugh.]

[Fireworks: Hehe, and also turning everyone in Onpharos into White Evil Aesthetics, making the Earth Beasts the Great Sages of the Tree Garden, the Titan of Deceit, Cephale...]

[Feng Jin: Stop, stop, stop, Hua Bao, I'm so glad you can't get in, the scene would be too terrifying.]

[Star: I want to play too!]

[Bai E: Partner, is your next fate going to be pleasure?]

[Pam: No! Pleasure is absolutely forbidden among the passengers of the Star Train.]

[Ling: I really want to see the once romantic Aglaia. She must be a mother figure, so warm.]

[Abao: Heh, you might be quite surprised. (Evil grin.jpg)]

"...Are you planning to just stand there like that? Forgive my bluntness, but that sneaky style doesn't suit you—Savior Boy."

Sai Fei'er glanced at Bai E, then turned to look at him.

"Hahaha... I didn't mean to hide it from you, Miss Saifei. I just had a feeling that you were preoccupied with your thoughts and didn't want to disturb you rashly."

"Ha... kid, you still have that charming way of speaking." Sai Fei'er cast a satisfied glance at him.

"Your presentation at the public bathhouse was pretty good. I admit, I was slightly moved by it."

Bai E's lips curled up slightly. "Thank you for the compliment."

"Intuition is a magical thing. I had a vague feeling that you were there too."

Chapter 449 Sefalia will always have the last laugh.

"Oh? Then why didn't you call me out then? Why did you wait until now?"

“Because…” Bai’er paused for a moment, “I guess you also need some time to process your feelings and mourn her passing.”

Sai Fei'er turned her head away, her nose slightly sore. "Hmph, mind your own business."

"That's enough of the pleasantries. Tell me, what trouble have you encountered that you need the help of someone as senior as me?"

[Ying: What's wrong with you? You're clearly upset too. I bet if the video hadn't been leaked, you and Aglaia probably wouldn't have exchanged more than a few words before you died.]

Wendy: A cat's signature tsundere attitude, but unfortunately I'm allergic to cats.

[Sai Fei'er: I've really had enough! You have to magnify even such subtle expressions. Video blogger, do you think you're funny?]

[Feng Jin: But that was Miss Sai Fei'er's genuine expression of emotion.]

[Aglaia: She might not be used to it yet, after all, she's suddenly receiving so much attention lately, I think she's probably just shy.]

[Saifei: Seamstress~ Why are you like this too?]

[Tian: Little Fei is also a great hero of Ohm, and Tian likes Little Fei.]

[Star: I love you, my dear girl...]

[Firefly: Star...you're not allowed to fall in love with every guy you see, okay?!]

Bai E couldn't deny it. "We've only met a few times, and each time we've gotten straight to the point... I appreciate your straightforwardness, senior—so I'll just say what I have to say."

"As you can see, Aglaia has won the support of the entire city's citizens for the Golden Clan. People unanimously believe that the anti-fire faction in the Senate murdered her, and the citizens' outrage has left the lurking evil nowhere to hide."

"Even so, the alarm has not been completely lifted. The leader of the Cleansers, Elder Katniss—we still haven't been able to find her whereabouts."
