Chapter 8: Xiadie and Bolüxiya

"Bolüxiya, you can put your fetishes aside for now."

Xiadie pressed her palms together, making a gesture as if holding something and moving it elsewhere.

"It's really immoral to write a web novel without an ending, you know?" Bolüxiya continued to tease, "Big sister, you are just..."

"We can put this aside for now."

Xiadie sighed, "Tell me about my current situation; don't wait until I leave and only have half the story told, without enough time to finish."

"This is called building suspense, understand?" Bolüxiya blinked.

Xiadie: "..."

I understand, but I don't like it; watching others go crazy and going crazy yourself are two different things.

Bolüxiya giggled: "Big sister's helpless expression is so interesting!"

"Please talk about business, Bolüxiya."

"Fine, I won't tease big sister anymore." After laughing for a while, Bolüxiya turned serious, "Your current body is the one you had when you were in Wengfaluosi."

Xiadie's expression shifted slightly; she was not surprised and waited for Bolüxiya to speak again.

Seeing that Xiadie did not have much emotion, Bolüxiya continued:

"Does big sister still remember that when you returned to the Human Realm, it was I who used Alchemy to reshape your Spirit and physical body?"

"In a sense, I am the person who understands big sister best, besides big sister herself."

"From top to bottom, from body to Spirit."

"Talk about business!"

A few black lines crawled onto Xiadie's forehead.

"Yes, yes, yes." Bolüxiya raised her hands in a gesture of surrender,

"It was also then that I realized you are truly ruthless to yourself."

"Now, whenever I see Bai E, I subconsciously want to slap him to death a few times."

"Lord Bai E hasn't offended you, has he?" Xiadie's tone carried a hint of helplessness.

"He hasn't offended me," Bolüxiya said indignantly, "but big sister died at his hands more than thirty million times. I watched it every single time from the Underworld; at that time, I couldn't do anything."

"It's all in the past; I hope you two can get along well," Xiadie urged.

"Tch." Bolüxiya curled her lips and did not continue on this topic, "Big sister, your current body is not a product of Alchemy, but the body you had before you first became a demigod of death."

"That is to say, the one from that first reincarnation, the time I killed big sister with my own hands."

"However, this body is slightly younger in age."

"So, does this have any special significance?"

Xiadie had long since noticed that her body was different from the one during the reincarnation; it was entirely human.

"I'm not very sure." Bolüxiya shook her head, "This is the news Xilian told me."

"If you want to cross the Imaginary Tree and strive for that glimmer of hope that will allow you to be reborn,"

"You can only use the body from that time."

"Although I inherited big sister's power and became a Memory Emanator under her, she is mysterious, and heaven knows what she is thinking."

"Clearly, if it weren't for big sister, she wouldn't have been able to ascend to become an Aeon."

"At most, she would just be like in the original game..."

"Enough."

Xiadie interrupted Bolüxiya, "You are working under Xilian now; it's not good to badmouth your own boss like this."

"But she really speaks in riddles! I don't know who she learned it from." Bolüxiya's complaining mood was evident on the surface.

"Saying things like, those who are strong will gain opportunities, and the weak will also have a chance to catch their breath."

"Hmm... are you sure it was Xilian who said that?" Xiadie blinked.

"Yes." Bolüxiya spread her hands, "She told me these things after she went to find the Aeon Hu and came back."

"There was also a sentence about how passing the trial proves that your power has already shaken the scales."

"Trial, my foot!" Bolüxiya said indignantly, "Now that big sister has been resurrected, can't she just fish people back?"

"It should be the content that the Aeon Hu wanted to reveal, right?" Xiadie thought of the Aeon Hu and its Arbiters, who had indeed said similar things to the Trailblazer.

"Hmm, what does that mean?" Bolüxiya looked puzzled.

Xiadie shook her head: "What else did she say?"

"She said that in the future of the universe, a new Path might be born."

Bolüxiya shrugged.

"Hmm..." Xiadie was silent, "Did she only tell you these things?"

"Does Bai E know, and what about the others?"

"They probably don't know." Bolüxiya shook her head, "When she told me, she even specifically avoided Bai E."

"By the way, there is one more thing; she told you to be careful of the lackeys of Destruction."

The Aeon of Destruction, Hui Mie Xing Shen Nanuke?

Xiadie was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, and also..." Bolüxiya thought, unsure, "That mechanical head seems interested in the matter of sending you into the Imaginary Tree."

"It even involves the Aeon of Erudition?" Xiadie's eye twitched.

"I don't know." Bolüxiya spread her hands, "Maybe it's just pure curiosity!"

"It can be purely curious enough to want to play itself to death; who knows what that thing, which isn't a carbon-based lifeform, is thinking?"

"However, don't worry."

Bolüxiya paused, "Xilian explicitly told me that the world you are going to, the place where you will strive for that glimmer of hope, is beyond the reach of the Aeons' tentacles."

"I understand," Xiadie nodded.

"Please recover your strength as soon as possible, sister; that way, I might also be able to appear by your side in another way."

"Just like before, though perhaps not with much power."

"No, I think you should stay right where you are. I don't want to be locked in a dark room and nagged for updates by my own sister."

"Eh? So sister actually cares about such trivial matters?"

"Writing is painful," Xiadie said, speechless.

She had already reached another universe, yet Bolüxiya still wouldn't let her go.

This was chasing her for updates!

"Sister can tell cold jokes! Back in Wengfaluosi, sister was always so stern."

"Is it because of this old gentleman?" Bolüxiya shifted her gaze, landing on Yilaikesi.

"Hello, it is a pleasure to meet you," Bolüxiya placed her hands in front of her and bowed.

"My name is Bolüxiya, I am Xiadie's sister. Thank you for taking care of my sister during this time."

"You are too kind, Miss Bolüxiya. I haven't really been able to help young friend Xiadie with much."

Yilaikesi did not mind having been ignored just now; he was also very curious about Xiadie's past experiences.

Bolüxiya nodded and said:

"The old gentleman's Spirit is not complete. It is a pity that we sisters cannot exert our full power, otherwise, we could have restored the old gentleman's Spirit."

Yilaikesi shook his head: "This old man is content enough to have found a place to reside; I do not seek anything more."

"Hmm..."

Bolüxiya looked at Yilaikesi, then turned her gaze back to Xiadie's position.

She was still quite dissatisfied with this person who had appeared in her sister's Spirit Sea.

This was also the reason she hadn't greeted the other party at the start; she had wanted to observe them.

But since her sister approved of keeping the other party in her Spirit Sea, as a younger sister, there was little she could say.

Xiadie was more thoughtful and better at weighing pros and cons than she was.

Otherwise, the current Wengfaluosi would not have one Aeon and two Emanator-level beings to guard it.

After chatting for a while, Bolüxiya felt her body gradually fading.

"Time is up!" Bolüxiya sighed, "Even though sister and I have only just met."

"You don't need to worry about me," Xiadie comforted her.

"Hmm..."

Bolüxiya did not answer, remaining silent for a long moment, "Leaving is for a better reunion. Sister, we will definitely meet again."

Bolüxiya vanished, leaving only Xiadie and Yilaikesi in the Flower Sea.
