The End of a Story

Even when her hands were sliced open by blades, blood seeping from every cut, Jingliu's hand never trembled in the slightest.

But now, the once-light weapon felt so heavy.

She was like a helpless child, clumsily gripping the sword.

How to hold a sword, how to swing it—all the skills originally rooted in every cell had vanished, becoming a blank white world.

The world was silent, until... this white world was stained red with flowing blood.

The Soul Severance Sword pierced Bai Heng's body.

And at that moment, he leaned down and kissed Jingliu's lips.

His lips were so cold, his movements so clumsy.

But his pupils drank in the amber sky of the Sea of Stars Skiffs, reflected in Jingliu's eyes.

She reached out somewhat awkwardly, wanting to embrace the sky, but her sky was so dim at that moment, as if experiencing its final sunset.

Though it was only a step away, she seemed to be chasing the setting sun, running for a long, long time, until the sun went down and all-consuming darkness swept over the world.

Tiny ice crystals fell on the scorched earth.

She lowered her eyes, without tears, and without any words of mourning.

When the Alchemy Commission alchemists who came to provide support intended to approach, taking a few steps forward, they heard the crisp sound of thin ice shattering under their feet.

When they came back to their senses, they felt an icy chill spreading from Jingliu's body, a layer of thin ice congealing on the scorched earth, the cold air rushing towards them, making it impossible to approach.

Sadness was like a sharp bone spur, sinking into Jingliu's body little by little, and she turned this silent sorrow into a snowstorm.

Scattered snowflakes fell on her shoulders, enveloping her little by little, submerging her sorrow.

In an instant, she seemed to have forgotten many things.

For her, at the beginning of her life, what she loved most was practicing swordsmanship, and then... it was tasting the various fine wines he brought back from the stars... He seemed to talk to her about the stars he had flown past, the wonders of his hometown, and the interesting things he had encountered, but she couldn't remember any of it... Those memories swirled in her head... but she couldn't find them no matter what...

Gradually, her dark red pupils were stained with blood, her silver hair fluttering in the snow, the snow screen tilting over her blood-stained robe.

In the last moment of clarity, Jingliu tore off a piece of black silk cloth from Bai Heng's cuff.

With it, she blindfolded herself...

"Cough..."

Bai Heng, who was sprawled on the walnut table, suddenly woke up, his whole body soaked in cold sweat. A burst of pain came from the back of his head, and in his ears were the bustling conversations of pedestrians on the street downstairs and the shouts of merchants.

It took him a long time to recover, and his vision gradually cleared.

What came into view was still the inn room where he was temporarily held, and on the table in front of him were not only overturned teacups, but also a wooden food box.

Looking at everything real in front of him, to be honest, Bai Heng was still a little dazed.

In his sea of consciousness, the scene of being pierced by her with a sharp sword for the last time seemed vivid in his mind.

And that last kiss... it seemed that there was still warmth between his lips and teeth.

"Master... Sister... Can you not bite people when you kiss... It hurts..."

He muttered something without reason. Bai Heng steadied himself, righted the overturned teacup. Luckily, it was empty, so the tea table wasn't dirtied. Otherwise, he would have had to spend some time cleaning it.

As for the food box, Bai Heng didn't open it right away.

For him, the most important thing was to understand the current situation. After all, he was being held in this inn as a suspect.

Standing up, Bai Heng walked to the door and pushed it open.

Just then, there were two Cloud Knights standing in the corridor.

Before Bai Heng could speak, one of the Cloud Knights, who looked to be around 20 years old and somewhat simple and honest, smiled and said proactively, "Ah, you're awake."

"Just woke up." Bai Heng nodded slightly. Not yet understanding the situation, he didn't say anything rash.

The Cloud Knight continued, "I saw you were asleep just now, so I didn't disturb you. There's dinner prepared for you there, you should have seen it, right?"

"Yes, I saw it."

"Haha." He scratched his head and said, "Little brother, it's like this. The interrogation results from the Ten-Lords Commission just came out. You're not with those guys selling illegal drugs, you're just a tourist."

Hearing this, Bai Heng paused slightly and said, "So I can leave now?"

"Yes, we made a mistake, sorry about that. If you need us to compensate you for any losses, you can report it to the Cloud Knights' office nearby." The other party habitually scratched his head, his expression indeed showing apology.

Seeing this, Bai Heng said, "I understand, you have your own difficulties. The Xianzhou is an important place. If criminals were to infiltrate, we outer realm travelers would also be affected."

Since the misunderstanding was resolved, there was nothing more to say. After all, Bai Heng was known for his good attitude.

He could even comfort himself when Xiao Si crashed his starship, saying that at least it saved time.

Now that he had only been under Luofu's supervision for four hours, he naturally wouldn't mind, and there was no need to ask for compensation for any losses.

After chatting with the Cloud Knight for a while, Bai Heng retrieved his belongings from the other party and left the inn.

But when he came to the crowded streets, looking at the Xianzhou natives, Foxians, Vidya Clan members, and other outer realm people walking on the streets, he felt a sense of belonging, as if he should have been one of them.

After all, he had lived in this place for fifteen years. Now that seven hundred years had passed, Luofu's changes were still not significant. Some shops had only experienced two generations of inheritance in these seven hundred years.

"That's great... I have nothing to do today, so I'll go to the Alchemy Commission for a foot massage..."

"Hey, wait, how am I so familiar with this?"

The Xianzhou simulation is finally finished.

It's been too cold these past two days, and my hands have been frozen, so it's one update a day (Jingliu definitely did it). I'll make it up later. I want a gift, hehe.

If you can't find the book by searching the title, you can try searching for the author. Maybe it's just been renamed!
