Chapter Ninety-Four: Ji Lin, I Beg You / Chapter Ninety-Five: Welt: Awesome (Voice Cracking)

Even though they were completely unknown "strangers," the sorrow that welled up inside at that moment, along with the feeling of her heart being struck and filled...

Fu Hua could not describe it, but she nearly lost control of her tear ducts.

Her thousand-year state of mind, tranquil as an ancient well, melted like snow on a mountain peak at that moment, revealing the soft side buried deep beneath the hard ice.

I am willing to have it this way.

"I know. But precisely because of that, it's even harder, Crimson Kite. If—I mean if, you have something else you want to do, then go do it."

"Ji Lin..."

"Cangxuan and Dan Zhu are neither of them here, but I think, since I can see you again, perhaps in some unfathomable way they are also entrusting me to tell you—you have already completed your duty, and the initial contract can finally end. Now you can rest, Crimson Kite."

Suddenly, Fu Hua seemed to find herself back in the familiar Great Void Mountain, within a simple and secluded courtyard, where three flower-like maidens sat cross-legged on the ground, frogging and playing, making light and pleasant sounds of laughter.

Fu Hua saw only Ji Lin's face, unable to make out the features of the other two maidens in white and red.

And as they sat in the sunlight, facing Fu Hua, each of them stretched out welcoming hands with full smiles.

Fu Hua smiled then, and at the same time her tears burst forth.

You will not die, because I will protect you, Ji Lin.

Though memories were lost, affection remained unchanged.

Even five thousand years had passed, or perhaps precisely because five thousand years had already passed, Fu Hua would protect this dearly reunited friend with all her might.
