Mother Doesn't Want You Two Anymore

Garlic roasted spiced rabbit, one Credits per rabbit.

Unfortunately, due to his lack of strength, Bai Heng could only save half a rabbit.

"Master, are you really not going to have a bite?"

"No."

"It's very fragrant."

"No."

"Then, how about Dabao and Erbao have some?"

"They don't eat it either... Why Dabao and Erbao?" Jingliu looked at Bai Heng.

"Just sounds good."

Bai Heng pointed to the slightly larger Fire-lick Rabbit and said, "This one is the older sister, so we'll call her Dabao, and the other one is the younger sister, so we'll call her Erbao. It sounds nice and rolls off the tongue."

"How tacky," Jingliu said bluntly.

"It's okay to be tacky, as long as it's easy to remember, and they must really like the names too." Bai Heng looked at the two Fire-lick Rabbits and said, "Right, Dabao, Erbao?"

Probably frightened by the bag of garlic roasted spiced rabbit in Bai Heng's hand, the two Fire-lick Rabbits nodded nimbly.

"See?" Bai Heng smiled.

Jingliu looked at Bai Heng's unreliable appearance, and then saw Dabao and Erbao's sensible appearance in her arms. For some reason, she recalled some memories from the past, and the corners of her lips faintly curved up a little.

Bai Heng caught this subtle change, paused, and said, "Master, did you just smile?"

"No."

"You're lying."

Jingliu turned her head away, avoiding Bai Heng's gaze, and then walked forward in a few steps, walking ahead of Bai Heng.

Bai Heng looked at that thin back, and couldn't help but smile, then followed Jingliu's footsteps.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye.

The two passed through many grotto-heavens, and unknowingly came to the Starry Navigator's Anchorage, where countless star-skiffs rose and fell.

At this time, it was also sunset, and the twilight dyed the orange horizon, like golden egg yolk slowly flowing out.

At the edge of the pier, Bai Heng found a passing Xianzhou citizen to take a photo of the two of them as a souvenir. Although Bai Heng felt that Dabao and Erbao were a bit redundant, Jingliu insisted on holding them. After the two stood together, Jingliu kept staring at the camera, trying to squeeze out a smile. Bai Heng admired that amusing fake smile for a while, and said, "Look at me."

"What?"

Jingliu looked up and met Bai Heng's eyes.

The passerby who was taking pictures for the two of them also captured this moment very well.

In the picture, Jingliu looked into Bai Heng's eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering gently like butterfly wings, and the sunlight shone through the gaps in the star-skiffs, scattering on her delicate profile.

Even though that pretty face was still as indifferent as ice and snow, at this moment, even the passerby could see that her eyes were full of the young man in front of her.

After the photo was handed to the two of them, Bai Heng stared at the photo for a while, and gave his evaluation:

"Damn, why did they make me look so ugly? When I go to the photo studio to print the photo later, I'll ask the boss to fix it for me."

Jingliu leaned against the railing behind her, looking at the photo on her phone, speechless for a long time.

The heat flow of the Starry Navigator's Anchorage patted her face, mixed with the noisy conversations of the pier, and the smell of the star-skiff culture medium in the air had not yet dissipated. In her arms, the two Fire-lick Rabbits would occasionally lick her arm, itchy, but very warm.

She... seemed to really like this feeling, and began to think about where he would take her to eat later, what things to buy, drink together at night, and watch the waxing and waning of the moon, as if this would continue forever, which was what she had been waiting for and looking forward to for seven hundred years...

But... when these emotions impacted her mind, a stabbing pain came like a steel needle piercing her chest.

Vaguely, she heard a few calls.

"Master?"

"Master... Master..."

"Master... What's wrong?"

She covered her forehead, shaking her head in pain, and the two Fire-lick Rabbits in her arms felt a bone-chilling coldness coming from her, trembling restlessly.

In a trance, Jingliu's vision cleared for a moment.

She handed the two Fire-lick Rabbits in her arms to Bai Heng, and then ran towards the distance.

Leaving behind only Bai Heng, who was stunned in place, and the two Fire-lick Rabbits who didn't know what was going on.

Everything happened too suddenly, Bai Heng stood there blankly, holding two rabbits in his arms.

After a long time, he whispered:

"Mommy... doesn't want you two anymore."

Night fell.

The moon climbed onto the branches.

It was a waning moon tonight, unfortunately.

Deep within the Prison of Confinement, under the Luofu's Ten-Lords Commission.

Jingliu's cold lips were smeared with blood, her slender hands gripping the Tanhua Sword tightly.

Her long silver hair danced in the biting cold, layers of ice shattering the special bluestone bricks of the Prison of Confinement.

Sharp ice pillars rose from the ground like carved knives, as chaotic as Jingliu's state of mind.

She gritted her silver teeth, her body trembling uncontrollably.

The scene of her personally killing Bai Heng that day flashed through her mind again and again. Hatred, slaughter, all the negative emotions were like countless invisible hands, strangling her throat.

Falling to Mara-struck, this was her destiny... but she wished this day could come later, even just a little later.

The lifespan of a short-lived species was only a hundred years. She wanted to marry him and spend those hundred years with him.

But those voices echoed in her mind, again and again, bewitching her spirit, and everything related to him was blurring bit by bit.

The reason she had been covering her eyes was to avoid seeing the Xianzhou, to avoid being lost in memories at the sight of familiar things.

She knew she shouldn't have removed the black veil, nor should she have revisited this old Luofu haunt with him.

Yet, she still couldn't help wanting to look at him, wanting to recall the past—to remember him before she completely forgot herself.

Even if the price was like this
