Is Kiana in Onphalos?

Throughout the long years, she was always alone, and almost no one could get close to her or even touch her.

She was really, really lonely.

Even the slightest touch is impossible. They can only touch others during the encoffining process.

But does that count as contact?

Is it the kind of girl she wants?

When Xia Die was being prepared for the coffin, she wasn't in the mood for it. Even the warmth she felt was mostly accompanied by grief.

But at this moment, she felt a pure sense of peace and warmth.

It was as if the heart that had been yearning for so long had finally found a place to rest.

She cherished this wonderful feeling even before, and now she seems even more addicted.

I want more and more to stay by Kiana's side. More and more to feel her warmth.

"..."

Xia Die glanced at Kiana furtively.

She was a little worried that Kiana would hate her for being like this.

However, she still mustered up her courage and spoke up, "Kiana, I know a field of flowers that's very beautiful. Would you like to go see it together?"

"Okay, Sister Xia Die." Kiana smiled.

Finally, she suddenly slapped her forehead, "What a pity, my brother took the gourmet tablecloth. Otherwise, we could have gone camping over there."

"it does not matter."

Xia Die quickly replied, "We can go and prepare now."

"if……"

She said shyly, "If you don't mind my cooking..."

"Of course I don't mind!"

Kiana interrupted her before she could finish, saying with great enthusiasm, "In fact, I've known Sister Xia Die for so long, but I've never tasted her cooking. That's so unfair, Sister Xia Die."

Kiana called out sweetly.

It was so sweet it touched Xia Die's heart.

She already liked Kiana, such a lovable little sister. And now, she really, really likes her even more.

"But my cooking skills... aren't very good."

"It's okay! I'll eat anything as long as it's Sister Xia Die!"

Kiana smiled brightly, hugging Xia Die's arm, her full, soft breasts pressing against Xia Die's body, happily sticking to her.

He spoke carefree words.

"Mmm..." Xia Die's pretty face flushed slightly, and she nodded. She couldn't suppress the smile on her lips; she seemed even happier.

Kiana...

Q *U-?N迩异鏾午（七）咎轳衤三弼真好！

Chapter 028. Wan Di: You want to treat me to dinner? Sure!

Here in the Garden of Life.

Inside a secluded pavilion.

"What's wrong, Savior? Getting sentimental?"

Wan Di sat opposite Bai E, looking at the large table of dishes on the gourmet's tablecloth.

Can't help but laugh.

"You even stole your sister's good stuff to treat me to dinner?"

He did it as if on purpose.

He picked up his glass and drank a glass of wine.

"Go ahead and say it! What do you want to say? I'm listening. After you're done, we still have things to do, so don't try to slack off."

"Even though we might not be as good at planning the Stigmata Project as Aglaia and the others."

"But at least do something."

“I know…” Bai E sighed.

He picked up his glass and drank it in silence.

Because a gourmet's tablecloth can only create dishes that he knows.

Therefore, he basically couldn't materialize things like the Chinese cuisine that Kiana served them.

Even at most!

It's basically just a remake of what Kiana did before.

But compared to this...

He probably did have something on his mind, so he invited Wan Di over for a chat. As a result, the dishes that appeared on the gourmet's tablecloth were all the ones that Wan Di was familiar with.

It has the flavor of Suspended Peak City.

Wan Di glanced at him, somewhat surprised, but perhaps that's why his tone became even better.

It's not really because of the local cuisine.

After all, Suspended Peak City believes in combat and reveres martial prowess, so its food, clothing, housing, and transportation are not considered good.

just.

Bai Er specially prepared this meal to invite him.

This perhaps demonstrates just how much he valued this seemingly casual chat. It also shows that his inner turmoil was indeed more profound than it appeared.

Despite the fact that he had learned the whole truth about Onpharos from Kiana, met Hei'er, and learned the inside story of Xilian's death, it seemed like he had suddenly let go of everything.

but!

Can we really let go of it?

Wan Di picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

Then, he glanced down at his wine glass.

This gold-carved wine glass features a simple yet rugged style of decoration.

It has a strong sense of Suspended Peak City.

He smiled. Sure enough, some thoughts had been stirred within him, leaving him with a slight sense of melancholy.

"so……"

"You were really forcing yourself to stay upright just now, weren't you?"

Wan Di put down his wine glass, picked up his knife and fork, and started cutting and eating the meat while chuckling as he looked at Bai E.

"Ah... well, I don't think so..."

Bai E gave a wry smile.

"The sheer volume of shocking content is making my head spin."

"At the time, I just thought, 'Ah, so that's how it is!', 'Ah, is that so?', 'Wait, how is this possible?!', 'What's going on? What are they talking about?' and so on..."

"In the end, I was just nodding along with everyone else."

"Pretending to understand, huh?" Wan Di sneered.

Bai E scratched his head awkwardly, "When I came to my senses later, I felt really conflicted."

"You've figured it out, haven't you?" Wan Di chuckled as he ate meat with his fork.

"Yes……"

Bai E sighed, picked up his knife and fork, looked at the meat in front of him, poked at it, as if he was struggling with his emotions and didn't know where to start.

“Even when the Fire Thief appeared… no, when the other me appeared…”

"I rushed up with you first and hit him. It was like a conditioned reflex to drive away the uninvited guest."

"Then! It suddenly dawned on me... 'Huh? Wait a minute, him? It was him?'"

He carefully reviewed his feelings at that time.

Some sighs.

"Then, because my mind was a mess at the time, I actually thought that the whole world was a lie, a deception, so was what I saw... Xi Lian's death, the same thing?"

"This so-called fire-stealer... could it be that there's a twist to his story?"

"So that's why you didn't stupidly rush forward again, right?" Wan Di smiled.

"And as it turns out, that's exactly what happened!"

He put down his knife and fork, propped himself up on the table with one hand, and rested his chin on the other.

With his face slightly tilted to the side, he looked through the pavilion at the Kefa Le stone statue in the distance.

"Who could have imagined that our so-called pursuit of fire would turn out to be an accomplice to destruction, while the fire-stealers are doing the work of saving the world?"

Wan Di also had many feelings.

But he wasn't what he seemed—a muscle-bound, simple-minded fellow. On the contrary, he was quite intelligent.

Often, they may seem straightforward, but in reality, they are quite thoughtful.

"But I must say! Bai'er, you are worthy of being called the savior."

Wan Di opened his mouth and said 〥（九）'冷卅溜咝熘7扒倭&#.

Therefore, you don't need to be confused!

"Black Evil is the past you, but without Kiana as a variable, you would be the future Black Evil."

"Black Calamity?" White Calamity was taken aback.

“After all, your name is Bai E, isn’t it?” Wan Di teased.

He said, "Little Kiana calls him that too, and I think it's quite fitting."

“But my real name isn’t Bai E…” Bai E muttered, but he didn’t dislike it.

Because the saying "black misfortune, white misfortune" is indeed quite fitting.

And now.

Wan Di raised his glass, clinked it with Bai E's, and took a sip of wine.

The atmosphere became a little more relaxed.

"Are you constantly thinking, 'Is this me?' 'Can I really do this?' 'He's amazing,' 'But I might not be able to.'"

Wan Di appears languid, but his eyes are sharp. "Then you doubt, 'Can I really be considered a savior?' 'Will I fail to meet everyone's expectations?'"

"..." Bai E fell silent.

Yes, he thought about it a lot.

In fact, it's precisely because I think too much that I feel somewhat lost.

He was deeply shocked by the fact that Bai E had carried the darkness and longed for the dawn in countless previous reincarnations. That's why he subconsciously compared himself to his current self and subconsciously felt how immature and unqualified he was.

Even though he knows that this is wrong.

However, he couldn't help but doubt whether he really could do it.

He was previously known as the savior.

Xi Lian's prophecy card was for herself, and also for the Savior card.

Even though he always acted very modestly, saying that he was not a savior, but just an ordinary Golden Descendant.

but!

Did his heart not even feel the slightest ripple?
