"Honey, look! Aren't I showing off?"

At this moment, Yao's father was filled with the joy of using the hovercar. With a dragon tail swing, he drifted back and forth in mid-air. His driving skills were truly amazing, showing off his skills to the max.

Unfortunately, Yao's mother didn't care about any of that. She didn't know whether it was showing off or not; she only knew how to feel ashamed.

A grown man stealing a young girl's car and laughing so happily—it's so embarrassing!

If Xiaoxuan hadn't been watching, she would have already thrown a spatula and smashed this idiot to death.

At the same time, Bai Jinxuan saw Yao's mother come out and smiled slightly: "Hello, Auntie."

"Phew... Xiaoxuan, hurry up and tell your uncle to come down. He's so old and he's still yelling like that, it sounds awful!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinxuan looked a little embarrassed, but still spoke up for Yao's father: "Uncle doesn't usually drive, it's rare for him to be so happy, so let's give him a break."

Upon hearing this, Yao's mother froze on the spot, looking melancholy, clearly having connected the dots.

Bai Jinxuan seized the opportunity to grasp her hand and channel her strength into it.

Teacher Long had used this move before. The energy is a type of magical power that has a master, which can be freely manipulated and can also sense the vital signs of other people.

Fortunately, the magical crystals in Oripathy are magical aggregates, making them easy for Aki to detect.

Her actions puzzled Yao's mother, but she quickly realized what was happening and struggled to pull her hand away.

But it was too late.

Although the energy couldn't spread throughout her body, the moment it touched Yao Ma's palm, countless tiny crystals in her arm appeared like red dots on a radar.

They were densely packed together, which was quite frightening.

Bai Jinxuan subconsciously gripped Yao's mother's hand tightly, her eyes trembling.

Arms, shoulders, chest, abdomen, brain... all covered in red dots, and there's a gash on his waist, it was only recently dug open...

How could he be so ill...? This... is definitely not less serious than Grandmother Jia's illness...

Even the brain...

She suddenly remembered something: Grandmother Jia's physical fitness was only level 1, while Yao's parents' physical fitness was level 2. Relatively speaking, they were more resilient. Even though their entire bodies were filled with crystals, they could still move around normally thanks to their recovery ability.

However, it's just a normal activity.

No wonder he retired from the underground.

No wonder they were so eager to provide Yao Yao with the best environment.

No wonder I'm always so tired, and I can't even walk properly...

They were already prepared to die, so they didn't care about life in the upper town at all.

For them, the house they bought was nothing more than a nicer coffin.

The only reason he was willing to stay was because he wanted to be there for his daughter at the end of his life and witness her take flight...

It was their own momentary lapse of judgment that led them to bear such crippled bodies while desperately searching for work and earning money in the upper city.

At that moment, Bai Jinxuan understood everything.

The Last Tale of the Maiden Knight

Summary:

Once, faced with a mysterious collapse, humanity had no choice but to unite all its forces, blast through the continental shelf, and build the legendary Noah's Ark.

And they decided to escape the mystery from now on, in order to seek a stable and hopeful future for humanity.

However, after the extermination of the witches, the Ark Knights officially took over the order of Noah's Ark.

Centuries have passed, and the surviving mystical scholars and knights have remained in a state of mutual exchange yet also mutual obstruction.

Following the Third Knight Revolution, the legendary enigmatic scholar Xiao Ke successfully defected after the New Moon tragedy, bringing the conflict between the Ark Knights and the enigmatic scholar to its peak.

Emil remained silent, simply offering her heart.

Volume 1: Chapter 106: The Girl Who Never Gives Up

"Xiao Xuan..."

Yao's mother's hand was squeezed so hard it hurt, but this also showed that the silver-haired girl in front of her already knew about Oripathy.

I thought the prestigious No. 1 High School was completely indifferent to the underground mining area, but now it seems that an old school is still an old school. It was exposed so quickly that it couldn't be hidden at all.

She felt somewhat helpless. Over time, she had intentionally revealed information about the underground to the two girls, leaving them with a very good understanding, but with some misunderstandings on certain details.

Given Bai Jinxuan's personality, once she finds out, she definitely won't waste time repeatedly gathering information.

As for Yao Yao, she's even easier to fool. Just teach her not to ask about underground matters and to study hard to get into university, and she'll obediently concentrate on her studies.

Everything was kept a secret. Fifth Middle School was a school that only high-class families could afford to attend, and not many families were involved in mining. However, Bai Jinxuan found out about Oripathy at the pinnacle of schools in Star City—First Middle School.

Finally, the day has come. No wonder Xiaoxuan acted so strangely on the phone earlier...

For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of relief, and her expression became more gentle.

She leaned forward, pulled the girl into her arms, and placed her other hand under her armpit on the girl's head.

Only then did she realize that Bai Jinxuan had grown considerably taller, now only half a head shorter than her.

"Xiaoxuan, you've grown taller."

"..."

Seeing that the girl did not answer, she smiled slightly, pinched the girl's face, and gently pulled it upwards to make her look at her.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing. This isn't something that happened overnight..."

"Come with me to the hospital and get cured."

"It can't be cured, and it will cost a lot of money. It's better to save the money for your and Yaoyao's schooling..."

"They still need treatment!" Bai Jinxuan gritted her teeth, her eyes fixed on Yao's mother, and forced out the words, "I don't want even you to..."

She couldn't say the rest, but it wouldn't matter if she didn't, she knew that Yao's mother would understand the meaning behind her words.

The unusual sight of the two embracing prompted Yao's father to quietly stop the Black Knight and rush over.

When he heard what they were talking about, the middle-aged man was first surprised, then smiled.

He and Yao's mother exchanged a glance, and then, in perfect unison, patted Bai Jinxuan's head.

"As long as you and Yao Yao can live well, that's enough for us... It's okay, we can live for at least two more years. A girl as capable as Xiao Xuan will definitely be a grown woman who can stand on her own by then."

"Don't take your health for granted!" Bai Jinxuan said firmly, pushing their hands away. "I'm capable of handling things on my own now! If I go for treatment now, I can still delay it a little longer; there's still a chance!"

"Xiao Xuan."

Yao's mother's voice wasn't loud, but it possessed a strange energy that suppressed Bai Jinxuan's aura.

She tilted her head slightly, still smiling broadly.

“We’re beyond saving, so we won’t be a burden and hold you back, Xiaoxuan. Instead of treating your illness, it’s better to let you both go to school. Once you and Yaoyao graduate, your lives won’t be like ours, full of obstacles.”

"You all refuse to get treatment no matter what? I have money! I recently opened a factory, and I can make lots and lots of money..."

"It's reached its limit."

"Eh?"

Yao's father's voice was so harsh that Bai Jinxuan's mind couldn't process it for a moment.

"What does 'limit' mean?"

"Going to the hospital won't help. Auntie just likes to downplay the seriousness of things. Let me tell you, in order to be able to watch you and Yao Yao grow up in peace, we can't afford to delay treatment. Otherwise, how do you think we've lived this long?"

"Unfortunately, this kind of treatment has its limits. You may not know this, but simply put, it means that the major problems in our body have been solved, but many minor problems remain. And to solve these minor problems, we have to spend a lot of money and go through a lot of trouble, and the risks are huge, with the possibility of direct death."

"Rather than this, it would be better for us to leave quietly, at least we'd suffer less! By the way, Xiaoxuan, don't tell Yaoyao about this, okay? If she finds out, it will definitely affect her studies. There aren't many opportunities to study at No. 2 Middle School. Your aunt and I just want to see you graduate smoothly, then we'll have no regrets in life."

His relaxed tone was like chatting casually. If Bai Jinxuan hadn't seen the crystals on Grandmother Jia's body with her own eyes, she might have really thought that being covered in thorns wasn't so bad and wouldn't hurt much.

Yao's dad is really good at acting; no wonder I never noticed.

He probably thought he found out about it online or from a classmate, so he tried to reassure him, since he hadn't experienced it firsthand and didn't know the details, so it was all in the past.

Bai Jinxuan felt terrible. She suddenly understood why Jia Ruolin complained about her mother, and why she could never get angry when they argued. Her expression was so gentle, but her words were so sharp.

At this moment, I feel the same way.

She wanted to say something dirty and offensive, but when the words reached her lips, she couldn't utter a single one.

Yao's parents are so despicable, they've blocked all hope. Even if you try to refute them, you're powerless against their arguments.

Not only that, they also forced themselves to accept such a cruel reality.

They could do nothing but watch helplessly as their children died, and in this situation, they even wanted to go to school with a clear conscience...

Absolutely... an idiot! A moron! A complete moron!

The girl closed her eyes.

I have to say something here. If I give in to myself, then everything will be set in stone.

There is another way.

She seemed to have thought of something, and her voice was firm.

There's still the magic weapon; as long as they can get a spot for it, Yao's parents can still be saved.

It's far too early to give up.

However, Yao's parents looked helpless after hearing her words.

"Xiaoxuan... I know it's hard for you to accept, but..."

"There's still a way! I'll definitely find a way! Just you wait and see!"

As if afraid that they would extinguish this last hope, Bai Jinxuan shouted these words and rushed onto the floating vehicle without looking back, turning into a streak of light and flying into the sky.

In the large front yard, only two middle-aged people remained, staring at each other in bewilderment.

After a while, Yao's mother looked sadly at the spatula in her hand and sighed to herself.

"Sigh, this child..."
