They already have a chat group, why bother with the plot?

"A peaceful era without war or killing, where people live and work in peace and contentment, allowing you to live a healthy and happy life like an ordinary girl."

Ling Yu did not reply to Cui Zi's question, but instead gave her an unexpected answer.

Midori's eyes flickered.

Although she was constantly fighting monsters inside the palace, she was not completely unaware of the situation outside.

The world today, even if it's not ravaged by war, is certainly not capable of what Ling Yu is talking about.

“It’s no use. After you extracted the Shikon Jewel, my body lost its vessel and will disappear soon,” Midori said calmly.

As the direct spirit within the Shikon Jewel, Midori has witnessed the desires of both humans and yokai over the past few centuries.

Therefore, she knew very well that Ling Yu had given her such a "pie" because he needed her to do something.

Unfortunately, for her now, there is only one path: death or 'liberation'.

“If it were a remnant soul, I might not be able to do anything, but you have a complete soul.”

“Resurrecting you is not difficult for me,” Ling Yu said calmly.

Unfortunately, these words did not cause the slightest fluctuation in Cui Zi's emotions.

She shook her head, verbally rejecting Ling Yu.

"Thank you for the suggestion, but I'm already tired."

After hundreds of years of fighting, she had long felt numb and weary.

A calm and peaceful mind, free from desires and wants.

At this moment, what she wanted most was relief and eternal peace.

"Don't rush to answer me. I'll take you to see the peaceful era I've been talking about. After you've seen it with your own eyes, then I'll tell you whether you want to stay or leave."

Ling Yu said slowly and deliberately.

Not at all surprised by Cui Zi's refusal.

The reason people want to die is because there is nothing in this world that they can cherish.

As long as there is even a glimmer of hope, one will not embark on a path of no return.

Upon hearing this, Cui Zi suddenly looked up, her gaze towards Ling Yu filled with confusion.

It was as if they were confirming the truthfulness of the other party's words.

Cui Zi initially thought Ling Yu was just making empty promises, but now that he said he would deliver on his promise, she instinctively began to doubt the truth of the matter.

But if such a world really exists, she wants to see it!

"You can stay here for now."

Ling Yu pointed to the beaded pendant on her neck.

This is the key of creation that he constructed before, unique to Ling Yu's design.

Inside it is a miniature serene gem, which can be used as a vessel for Midori's soul.

Upon hearing this, Cui Zi did not hesitate and transformed into a ray of light, entering the glass bead.

She now wants to see the world Ling Yu spoke of, and naturally doesn't want to perish so soon.

Seeing that Cui Zi was settled, Ling Yu casually tossed the black Shikon Jewel into the system space.

Fairy Airi also sat down on Ling Yu's shoulder and left the Imaginary Space with him.

After returning

Ling Yu did not linger, because he had to fulfill his promise to Cui Zi.

The key to safety and peace lies at night.

As the saying goes, a dark and windy night is a night for murder.

This statement alone reveals how chaotic the nights were in ancient times, which is why ancient dynasties imposed curfews.

Not to mention that Suiko lived in a time of constant war.

Nighttime is a feast of death and slaughter.

Then Ling Yu began to use the power of the Herald of Reason to outline the prototype of a body in the void.

Filled with curiosity, the fairy Ellie came closer.

However, she was taken aback when she saw the human figure that Ling Yu had created.

Because that's just a larger version of her, which is Alicia's appearance!

At Ling Yu's neck, Cui Zi, inside the Key of Creation, was also stunned.

Ling Yu did not block her view, so even inside the Key of Creation, she could still see the outside world.

The reason she was stunned was that she never expected Ling Yu to create a body right in front of her.

After all, it hadn't been long since the two had discussed the topic of resurrection.

However, she could sense that there was no soul in that body; it was just an empty shell.

Soon, Ling Yu dissipated the constructive energy in his hand and looked at Fairy Airi, saying, "Fairy Airi, let's go in."

"Ling Yu, didn't I say I didn't want a body?"

Fairy Ellie looked at the enormous Elishia in front of her and said.

"So, do you want to eat something delicious when you get back, or buy it and eat it right here?" Ling Yu asked with a smile.

A foodie is a foodie.

Upon hearing Ling Yu's words, the fairy Ellie decisively forgot what she had just said, transformed into the most primal golden light, and entered the Soul Steel Body.

Then, under Ling Yu's expectant gaze, Fairy Airi slowly opened her eyes.

Ripples flowed in his azure eyes, as if a doll had been given a soul.

"How is it? Does it look good?"

After her consciousness took over her body, the fairy Ellie winked her right eye at Ling Yu and even spun around in front of him.

Her lively and teasing demeanor is exactly like Alicia herself.

For a moment, Ling Yu was in a daze.

As expected of the fairy Airi created from his memories.

Now that she has Alicia's body, her originally childish words and voice have become more mature.

"Good-looking, good-looking."

Looking at his masterpiece, Ling Yu was extremely satisfied.

"But calling you Fairy Alice now is probably not appropriate."

"Then... Ling Yu, you can call me Ai Li, okay?"

As she finished speaking, a sly glint flashed in Ellie's eyes.

As a consciousness created by Ling Yu based on his understanding of Alicia, sometimes she also wants to be the one in charge.

at the same time

Inside the Key of Creation, Cui Zi marveled at everything she saw.

In fact, she had noticed long ago that this little thing named Fairy Ellie had no signs of life.

In other words, she is not human!

She just didn't expect that this body was made by Ling Yu for the fairy Ai Li.

"So, this is the method of resurrection he was talking about?" Midori thought to herself.

But she quickly came to terms with it.

She's already in a spirit state, so she doesn't need to think about so many things.

After letting the fairy Airi familiarize herself with her body, the two went out.

However, the moment they stepped outside, Ellie snuggled up to Ling Yu and affectionately took his arm with both hands.

Ling Yu's face only blushed for a moment before quickly recovering.

He didn't say anything silly like "let go," and quietly let Ellie hold him.

From an outsider's perspective, the two appear to be a couple deeply in love.

When Ling Yu and Ai Li came out of the neighborhood and stepped onto the streets at night.

The scene before her eyes stunned the girl inside the Key of Creation.

Bright lights, laughter, and family reunions...

The sight of prosperity dazzled her; it was a view that Midori had never seen before.

Even under the rule of powerful daimyo, people have never shown such relaxed and carefree smiles.

One glance was enough to make Cui Zi lose her senses.

Because a genuine smile cannot be faked.

Over the next few days, Ling Yu and Ai Li began to explore each shop one by one.

It was as if they were showing Cui Zi around one by one, and they had to visit almost every store.

The sight of all the delicious food and fun activities made Cui Zi involuntarily swallow her saliva.

But Ling Yu and Ai Li seemed to have forgotten about Cui Zi, focusing on their own things and completely ignoring her.

This left Midori in the Key of Creation only able to watch longingly.

While Ling Yu and Ai Li were eating, she couldn't help but think about it.

If only she had a body.

Before her death, Midori was just a young girl, an age when she was curious about the outside world.

The reason she appears so indifferent is simply because she has been worn down by the endless battles within the Shikon Jewel, but it doesn't mean she doesn't yearn for the beauty of the human world.

Now, with Ling Yu's gentle touch, the emotions that had been lingering in Cui Zi's heart were completely released.

"Gulu."

The sound of swallowing saliva rang out the moment Ling Yu swallowed the food.

Chapter 55 You have the potential to evolve a cowlick.

"Come on, open your mouth, ah~"

Faced with Ellie feeding him, Ling Yu hesitated for only a second before decisively eating the food.

"Is it tasty??"

Seeing Ling Yu eat it, Aili's lips curved into a beautiful smile as she asked.

"good to eat."

As Ling Yu spoke, he also brought the ice cream in his hand to Ai Li's lips.

"You should try my ice cream, it's so white and thick!"

Ignoring the accuracy of Ling Yu's word choice, Ellie gently brushed aside her long, naturally falling pink hair and took a small bite of her ice cream.

"..."

At this moment, a certain soul within the Key of Creation fell silent.

Ling Yu and Ai Li are currently on a park bench located by the street.

They are resting here.

Behind the two was a river that spanned the city.

Stone railings line both sides of the river to prevent people from slipping and falling.

But watching the two feeding each other, for some reason, Midori really wanted to lean on the railing and feel the breeze.

Unfortunately, her soul now needs to rely on the Creation Key created by Ling Yu and cannot leave on its own.
