Fairies, please don't talk to me about love

During this month, Ye Lingtian would still visit Sikong Yunshao when he was free.

He walked up to Sikong Yunshao, who was in a daze under the magnolia tree, and silently waited for her to come back to her senses.

"Where do people go after they die?"

I'm so tired, so alone

"Perhaps, he will be reborn into another world."

"Really?"

"Ah."

"I believe you... What delicious food are you going to make today? Can you tell me in advance?"

Except for asking her questions when he first came, Ye Lingtian didn't do anything other than chatting and cooking during the subsequent visits.

"I have the lotus root and lotus seed soup that you like. I also brought some meat and want to stir-fry it with colorful peppers for you. If you like it, I will make it for you later."

......

"How about it?"

"Well, it's delicious."

'She's dying.'

Just when Ye Lingtian felt a little happy because of getting the recognition from Sikong Yunshao, Huang Fusu suddenly said this.

Senior Sikong is going to die?

"Her cultivation is weak. If she continued to practice normally, she could live for a few hundred years. But now she is like this... I estimate she only has half a year left."

......

"You come to me every time you have some free time. Aren't you afraid that Xuan Feng will get jealous? I am a woman after all, right?"

The two of them walked to the top floor and sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to drink as they did before.

"She won't care, and you and I are innocent, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"Right."

"Senior Sikong, actually, I have always wanted to ask you something."

"Go ahead."

"That day when we first sat down to talk, something like that happened. Why did you... cry?"

Ye Lingtian has always wanted to ask this question, but he has never found the right time.

It has not been found until now.

This time he finally asked shamelessly.

Sikong Yunshao's expression did not change at all. After filling a glass of wine for both of them again, she raised her glass on her own initiative.

"I'm actually a weak woman, you should be able to see that, right?"

Putting the empty cup on the table, she continued to say to Ye Lingtian:

"Every time I encounter difficulties that I cannot solve by myself, I cry. It was like this before and it is like this now."

I don’t know if it was the alcohol that emboldened her, but she didn’t care about her diet and told all her secrets.

"Xuan Feng should have told you about what happened between her, Ji Yuanqing, and me. In fact, I pursued fame so much because of one person. I naively thought that as long as I became famous, she would come back to me and hold me high above her head. Now I have done it. My name is remembered and praised by the world, but she did not come back."

There were tears in her eyes, as if she was thinking of something that made her sad.

"No matter what I did she would leave me, and in the end I was left with nothing."

Why would a person who has more money than he can spend and possesses unmatched alchemy skills say that he has nothing?

Ye Lingtian understood it all too well.

He reached out to wipe away Sikong Yunshao's tears, and then poured her a glass of wine.

Sikong Yunshao did not shed any more tears, but stared at the glass of wine that Ye Lingtian poured for her in rapt attention.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Ye Lingtian suddenly felt that Sikong Yunshao had become a little different.

"Senior Sikong, your hair——"

"Father is right."

The ends of her hair turned snow-white. She seemed to know this would happen and did not show any surprise. Instead, she calmly picked up the wine glass and drank the wine.

“No matter what I do, no matter how I try to save my life, I will be alone in the end, just like a lone star in the sky.”

Chapter 36: Live for Yourself

Reputation is something that cannot be seen or touched.

It is also the final pursuit of countless masters who have reached the end.

No one can tell what its use is. When he was young, the current emperor tried every means to create an image of a tall and infatuated man for himself, but what is the use?

He put so much effort into creating such an image that he neglected the growth of the prince, and finally he ended up living alone in the deep palace, suffering from poverty.

The same was true for Sikong Yunshao. She lost too much on the road to gaining fame.

The friendship with Ji Yuanqing, the elders who took good care of her, and the hundreds of years wasted in order to obtain this empty thing.

......

In fact, she could have possessed all these things at the same time, but because of her natural abnormality, she lost them all.

Because of her, her mother was oppressed by people in the valley who already disliked her, and eventually became an extremely evil woman. If she had been born normal, none of this would have happened.

"I have spent my whole life chasing names, just to make everything go back to normal...why..."

Ye Lingtian listened to her crying silently, and it was not until late at night that he said goodbye.

Walking to the magnolia tree downstairs, he looked at the bare branches and murmured to himself:

"Wouldn't it be better if you left a little later and let me, a bystander, explain the situation clearly?"

Sikong Yunshao did not find the remnant soul of the elder who took care of her, so who was the other soul in the tree trunk besides her mother?

They had never met each other, but they had been with each other for several years.

......

"Why did you come back so late?"

Xuan Feng couldn't fall asleep because Ye Lingtian was not with her.

"Senior Sikong told me something."

"You didn't do anything with her?!"

Xuan Feng quickly jumped off the bed and touched Ye Lingtian's body.

"No."

"So what did you talk to her about?"

Ye Lingtian held Xuan Feng in his arms and lay on the bed, telling her her story that he had heard from Sikong Yunshao.

At the same time, he also mentioned that Sikong Yunshao was about to die.

"This is going to be difficult."

Sikong Yunshao's current state obviously shows that he has been greatly stimulated.

"I'll go with you to see her tomorrow."

The next God of Alchemy hasn't been born yet, and Sikong Yunshao is about to collapse.

As a divine beast worshipped by humans, she had an obligation to help this silly woman.

"Now if she wants to continue living, she must go through the thunder tribulation and cultivate to overcome the tribulation. Tsk... it's really troublesome."

Xuan Feng looked at Ye Lingtian and said to him:

"After we save her life this time, we must make her stay by your side and work like a slave for you! Xiao Lingtian, you are not allowed to object, this is what you deserve!"

"it is good."

Although he felt that it was a bit inappropriate, Ye Lingtian still agreed.

Saving lives is the most important thing. It’s never too late to talk about this kind of thing later.

The most important thing is that Sikong Yunshao doesn't look like the kind of woman who is willing to be inferior to others. She was able to overcome all kinds of disasters and finally become the God of Alchemy, admired by thousands of people. She must have her own pride and personality.

"Tomorrow, we will go find that guy. Let's go to sleep today."

----

After Ye Lingtian left, Sikong Yunshao was completely numbed by the alcohol and passed out drunk on the wooden table.

It took her a long time to come to her senses. Looking at the rising sun outside, she suddenly felt an impulse in her heart.

She wanted to live for herself once, to see this strange world with the perspective that "Yun Shao" should have.

Chapter 37: A Lonely Man

"Master Danshen is not here?"

No one responded for most of the day, and the master of refining emptiness who came to ask for the elixir shook his head. In this case, he could only stay in the city first and come back later.

......

Sikong Yunshao put on a black robe and walked out of the city.

She had no reason to stay in this place anymore.

"How much do you sell this toy for?"

At a roadside stall outside the city, she saw a familiar-looking vendor selling exquisite wood carvings.

"One hundred coins each, Miss, take a look, this is really not expensive..."

"I want it all."

After putting all the wood carvings into her ring, she continued to walk aimlessly towards an unknown place.

"If people really could be reborn in another world after death... that would be great."

Walking into the dense forest on the edge of the city, she began to collect things that she would never have even glanced at before.

"A third-level red mushroom - if I can get Ye Lingtian to make it into a hot dish for me, it should be delicious, right?"

Her green eyes dropped at the mention of the name.

If she leaves without saying goodbye, will Ye Lingtian feel sad when he visits her later?

But Sikong Yunshao had to leave.

After all, people who have a close relationship with me can't escape the punishment of the "Evil Star" in the end, right? Ye Lingtian did nothing wrong, and she didn't want him to be in danger because of her.

Passing through the dense forest, she saw a small town.

The people in the town lit bonfires and toasted each other, not knowing what they were celebrating.

She quietly walked up to a woman and asked:

"Are you gathered here today to commemorate something?"

"Who are you? Why are you here—Quick! Someone come!"

When the woman saw that she was a stranger, she immediately raised her voice and called a group of thugs with scars on their faces.

Only then did Sikong Yunshao realize that this was not a small town with simple folk customs.

This is clearly a mountain stronghold where people make a living by burning, killing and looting.

I didn't expect that there would be bandits and hooligans stationed so close to the city.

Sikong Yunshao took a step back and directly burst out with the spiritual power of a powerful Void Refiner, knocking the weaker ones to the ground.

The remaining strong men who could barely stand saw this situation and knew that they might hit the steel plate today.

"Hurry up and call the village chief over! The man in black robe is an expert!"
