Definitely Not On Purpose
As soon as Bao Bao uttered those light words, the world seemed to fall into a moment of deathly silence.
Not to mention the Seven-Colored Deer that was right next to them, looking completely bewildered, even the Fairy Fish in the middle of the lake, whose body was swaying and about to break at the crucial moment of the sacrifice, suddenly froze in all its movements and stood there completely stunned.
From the moment of the sacrifice began, the Fairy Fish's entire mind remained firmly fixed on the Seven-Colored Deer.
She was first forced by the Bao Bao to ignite her Life Crystal, and later, seeing no hope of survival, she resolutely embarked on the path of sacrifice, already prepared to die.
On her deathbed, she had no other desires. Her only wish was to use this devout act of sacrificing her life to dissolve the long-standing estrangement and earn a belated forgiveness from the Seven-Colored Deer.
She had already prepared herself for a heart full of regret and acceptance, quietly awaiting the end of her life. But no one expected that Bao Bao would suddenly appear with such a sentence, completely shattering all her obsessions.
At this moment, the Fairy Fish's soul was mostly exhausted, and her physical body was slowly turning into water. Her life force was gradually draining away, and she was already in a broken state, barely clinging to life and half-dead.
Ordinary words couldn't sway her in the slightest.
But Bao Bao's words struck her like a thunderbolt deep into her soul.
Extreme rage instantly overwhelmed all her weakness, and even though her body was swaying precariously, she still held onto a sliver of remaining ferocity.
He even wanted to push forward with his broken body and fight the Bao Bao to the death.
Did Bao Bao accidentally drop the Jade Heart?
Haha, what kind of coincidence could there be in this world?
The Fairy Fish's remaining consciousness suddenly cleared, and long-buried memories surged up instantly.
Back then, she and the Seven-Colored Deer were still young, barely shedding their beast forms and beginning to cultivate human forms. They were extremely vigilant and never dared to slack off in the slightest.
The two beasts take turns on duty day and night, patrolling the entire area day and night, able to detect every rustle of wind and grass, with extremely tight security.
With such tight security, it was impossible for a priceless Jade Heart to be "accidentally" kicked into the lake by the Bao Bao.
And it just so happens to be Jade Heart containing the pure essence of water and wood—how could there be so many coincidences?
But what fell was the Water Wood Jade Heart, which best matched the essence of the Spirit Lake and was most likely to trigger her connection with the Seven-Colored Deer.
If all of this is just a coincidence, then the coincidences in this world are far too insidious and far too absurd!
Bao Bao is lying; she's the one who ruined her and the Seven-Colored Deer.
A raging inferno spread wildly through her soul and meridians, scorching her already broken body.
The Fairy Fish's chest heaved violently, her heart filled with grief and resentment that almost consumed her completely. But she was far too weak at this moment, her soul swaying and her body nearly disappearing. She didn't even have the strength to lift a hand, let alone step forward to confront and seek revenge.
She could only stare intently at Bao Bao, her dead fish eyes filled with ferocious blood-red lines, brimming with piercing hatred and resentment, fixed on the instigator.
The grand sacrificial ceremony was abruptly interrupted, and the swirling spiritual light around her scattered and drifted away, but she paid no heed, focusing all her hatred into her eyes.
It turns out that all these years, the tangled and complicated estrangement between her and the Seven-Colored Deer, the misunderstandings and suspicions year after year, the countless days and nights of resentment and mutual torment, were never coincidences, nor were they each other's faults.
From beginning to end, it was all a carefully laid scheme by Bao Bao, a vicious plot to sow discord and deliberately drive a wedge between them!
He was meticulous, far-sighted, patient for many years, and proceeded step by step.
Absolutely vicious!
