A farewell too painful to bear

After resting for a while, Qian Ye got up and went back to her house with Little Nannan.

The sun was quite strong today, and the two of them weren't wearing many clothes; a mountain breeze made it extremely cool.

Little Nannan was the nickname that the Empress Ruthless's older brother always called her, so she was called Nannan.

As for her real name, her brother hasn't given her one yet, so "Little Nannan" is actually the name the Empress Ruthless used when she was a child.

Back home, the Little Nannan took matters into her own hands and cooked a big pot of mixed stew.

It contained freshly picked mushrooms, wild vegetables, and vegetables without oil; the taste wasn't very good.

However, Qian Ye still ate half of it, and the Little Nannan finished the rest herself.

They are all delicacies from the mountains, making them a rare treat.

After finishing lunch, the Little Nannan went out again.

Qian Ye glanced over and saw that the Little Nannan had gone to the village entrance again to wait for her brother to come home.

But her brother could never come back.

The reason is simple: her brother's involvement with the Ascension God Dynasty was not a good thing, but rather a calamity, a death sentence that no one could change.

But how could Little Nannan girl like Xiaonannan know these things?

Hope became her reason for waiting there.

If it weren't for hope sustaining her, she wouldn't have been able to wait until now; she would have gone to the Ascension God Dynasty long ago to be with her brother.

She is the Empress Ruthless, but she is not the Empress Ruthless yet, so how could she know all this?

Perhaps this was a tribulation she was destined to face.

The happiness she had finally achieved was suddenly lost.

Fate always seems to enjoy playing tricks on people.

What you don't want to happen often does.

What we hope for often falls short of our expectations.

Qian Ye didn't bother with her, because there were only ten days left before he was teleported back, and he felt he had to do something for her. 💜🍫 ➅9ѕᕼᵘχ.Ć๏m ♞♨

You could make her something nice to eat, or buy her some new clothes or shoes.

With that thought in mind, Qian Ye found himself busy and had something to do.

There is a small town near the village, though it is quite far, several dozen miles away.

But for Qian Ye, it was just a matter of blinking an eye, and he arrived in no time.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared on Qian Ye's body, and he disappeared from the spot.

In a corner of the small town, space twisted, and a person appeared there, unseen by anyone.

He stepped out of the corner and onto the street.

The place was bustling with people, coming and going.

Qian Ye looked down at the street, which was filled with a rustic atmosphere, but there were still many stalls and shops doing business.

They sell everything.

Qian Ye thought to herself, perhaps she needs a companion.

Qian Ye bought her a new outfit, a new pair of shoes, a puppy, and some food.

I spent another afternoon wandering around the small town, and didn't return to the village until dark.

Qian Ye returned to the village entrance but did not find Little Nannan.

Presumably, she hadn't waited for her brother to return before it got dark, and had already gone home.

So they went straight to her house.

As soon as Qian Ye got home, she saw her Little Nannan sitting on the doorstep, looking down at the path in front of her with a pitiful expression. Her lonely little figure looked so endearing.

Qian Ye sighed and walked towards her with a smile.

When the Little Nannan first saw Qian Ye, she thought it was her brother returning, and her eyes lit up. But when she realized it wasn't her brother, but Qian Ye, the light in her eyes quickly dimmed. 👌👽 🐊☞

Qian Ye walked over and sat down beside her. Looking at her small figure, dressed in a little outfit covered in tiny pudding dots, and with her shoes so worn that her toes were showing, she was truly pitiful.

If her brother hadn't been captured by the Ascension God Dynasty, her childhood and adolescence would have been wonderful times under his careful care.

Therefore, she hated those people.

She hated those who took her brother away and refused to give him back.

I believe they are the murderers.

The real culprit.

Therefore, she later destroyed the Ascension God Dynasty.

Although this wasn't the best ending, it brought the matter to a close.

Although the Empress Ruthless remained resentful, he also began to live his own life.

But fate has not been kind to her, causing her to lose the only person in the world who was kind to her at such a young age.

Qian Ye didn't take out the new clothes and shoes for her to wear because it wasn't the right time yet.

Just take out the food and share it with her.

And so, time passed by, second by second.

Qian Ye has been staying at Little Nannan's house for nine days now.

Within ten days, Qian Ye will be automatically teleported back by the system.

So Qian Ye has to say goodbye to Little Nannan before midnight tomorrow.

There's nothing we can do about it.

After all, there are only ten days left, and we must leave when the time is up.

Qian Ye took a nap, and it was around 3 p. m.

Then we arrived at the stone tablet at the village entrance, where the Little Nannan was sitting, her small figure waiting for her brother to return, looking out onto the path in front of the village.

Qian Ye walked over and sat down beside her, also wanting to tell her that he would be leaving her tomorrow.

Although it's hard to bear, I have to leave.

The Little Nannan's pigtails must have been styled by her brother in the past, and they've never changed.

In reality, after her brother left, she never changed her hairstyle, and her clothes and shoes were all worn and old, so she looked dirty all over, with only her pure, big eyes visible.

"Big brother, do you think my brother will come back tomorrow?" the Little Nannan suddenly asked him.

Qian Ye thought to himself, "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, how many tomorrows there are!"

I really didn't want to discourage her by telling her that her brother would never come back.

"Little Nannan, I'll be leaving tomorrow... tomorrow night, maybe after you fall asleep." Qian Ye still intended to say goodbye to her first.

The Little Nannan was stunned for a moment, not expecting him to leave. Her brother was leaving, was her older brother leaving too?

She was heartbroken, aggrieved, and deeply saddened; tears welled up in her eyes again.

Although she only spent nine days with Qian Ye, it was during those nine days that the Little Nannan developed Sisi Sisi attachment and affection for him.

A Sisi warmth.

A Sisi of support.

But after today, we will have to say goodbye again.

She couldn't accept it for a moment, and then she thought of her brother.

Wow~

The Little Nannan finally couldn't hold back her tears and cried out, "My brother has been taken away! Big brother, you're leaving too! When you left, you told Nannan you'd come back to see Nannan, bring me fun things, delicious food, and take me to live in a big house! But I don't want anything, I just want my brother back! Nannan believe you, I believe you'll come back to see Nannan! Brother... I want my brother back! Please give me back my brother..."

As the Little Nannan spoke, tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, and she immediately became a little sobbing mess.

Those tearful grievances, that small figure, so utterly alone.

Qian Ye, seeing this, felt a pang of reluctance to abandon her like this.

But he was not her brother, nor could he replace her brother.

The system will automatically transport you back to the Perfect World Plane in ten days. This is the last day, so you have no choice but to leave.

Finally, Qian Ye came up with a solution that would satisfy both sides: take Little Nannan to see her brother, to the Ascension God Dynasty. Even if her brother was dead, she would still have to see his body.

"Little Nannan, how about I take you to see your brother?"

"Really?" Upon hearing that she could see her brother, the Little Nannan immediately looked at Qian Ye expectantly. "But big brother, you're in a very, very far place. Do you know the way there?"

"This is a piece of cake for you, big brother. Give me your hand, and I'll take you there right away," Qian Ye said with a smile.

"Mmm." The Little Nannan finally showed a long-lost smile, as radiant as the sun breaking through the clouds.

Then she reached out her little hand to Qian Ye, Qian Ye took it. Suddenly, the two of them vanished from the spot in a flash.

The reason why the Little Nannan ended up in this remote village was not because she had lived in the village from the beginning.

Instead, her brother lived in this small village. The Little Nannan's brother was a beggar who had been orphaned since childhood and could only make a living by begging, wandering around everywhere.

Later, he encountered a little girl who had been abandoned by the roadside, and out of Little Nannan, he took her in.

He then begged his way back to his original home and gave the Little Nannan a home.

I thought I had finally found a good home and wouldn't have to beg anymore.

Little did they know that their good days had just begun when the people of the Ascension God Dynasty discovered that her brother possessed the qualities of Ancient Desolate Sacred Body. They then forcibly took her brother away, leaving the Little Nannan without her only support and once again alone and helpless.
