I never expected that just after leaving the shrine, I would have to return. Silver Moon's current state must be closely related to Mosang; perhaps Silver Moon got lost somewhere, and I must find a way to rescue him.
As I hesitated about whether to discuss this with everyone, I heard Hua Lei's voice at the door.
"Xi Meng, can I come in?"
"Of course." I opened the door and pulled Sister Hua Lei inside.
"Sister Hua Lei, ever since I returned, I've noticed you've been looking unwell. What's wrong?"
I had never seen Flower Tears so dejected. Even when she spoke of her regrets with White Soul, she had not seemed as lifeless as she did now.
"Little Dream, everything is my fault. I truly regret it now. I'm tired, I've lost, and it's time for this to end."
"You know Mosang, right?"
It was not hard to notice that when I recounted the events of this period, especially regarding the Three-Headed Serpent, Sister Hua Lei's emotions became even more unsettled.
Still, I was reluctant to believe it.
"Yes, I only confirmed it after hearing your description."
"Then you must know how to save Silver Moon, right?"
Flower Tears shook her head. "I'm not very sure either."
"Then can you tell me about your relationship with Mosang?"
"I came here specifically to talk to you about this. Please promise me first that no matter what the outcome is, you must not harm Mosang." Flower Tears looked earnest, making me believe that she not only knew Mosang but was also quite close to him.
"Alright, but he absolutely cannot harm everyone else."
"Ah, I was almost forgetting." Flower Tears lightly supported her right cheek with her hand, beginning to recall a story from long, long ago.
"When I was still growing up in the human realm, I was nearly shattered by a Heavenly Tribulation, but fortunately, I was saved just in time and escaped that calamity."
"Was it White Soul?"
"No, that was before I met White Soul. The moment I realized who had saved me, I was startled. I thought to myself, what kind of monster is this, looking so ugly? It was just like how you described Mosang, but at that time he didn't have such high Soul Energy and wasn't very big."
Flower Tears continued somewhat awkwardly, "But how could the heavenly thunder be so easily blocked? It is an extremely cold force; once struck, I doubt anyone could endure the pain of that bone-chilling cold. Later, I learned that at that time, Mosang was about to enter the divine realm but missed the opportunity to save me."
"Why did he save you?"
"I don't know. I've asked him many times, but he never answered. He just stayed in that desolate mountain, unwilling to approach me or leave."
"At that time, there were no other beings around me. Perhaps I grew accustomed to his presence and slowly stopped being afraid of him. I thought we should be considered friends."
"But he had cultivated for much longer than I had. One day, he ascended to the divine realm. It was only before he left that he finally spoke. He said he would wait for me in the divine realm. At that moment, I realized that Mosang truly regarded me as a friend."
"So you met again in the divine realm?" I asked.
"Yes, but at that time, all I could think about was White Soul and how to escape the divine realm. I wanted to leave and return to his side."
"Mosang was originally an ancient beast and became even stronger after cultivating in the divine realm. At that time, he could be considered a dominant divine beast. However, their race is quite unique; there can only be one in a lineage, so ultimately they are somewhat weak."
"Although Mosang still treated me indifferently like when he was in the human realm, he would occasionally sit in my Starlit Garden for a while. I didn't know what he was thinking most of the time; I just went about my own business while he quietly sat beside me and then left silently."
"Once, I accidentally found out that I had a rare opportunity to leave, but I couldn't escape on my own. So I mustered my courage to ask Mosang for help. At that time, it felt like I was possessed; I didn't consider any consequences."
"Mosang agreed?" In fact, I was already quite certain; after hearing so much, how could I not understand why Mosang would act this way?
"Yes, he hesitated for only a moment and didn't even ask me why. We agreed on a time to meet and carefully planned every step. He opened the heavenly gate for me and before leaving, he simply said one thing: 'Wait for your return.'"
"When I was filled with excitement, I returned to the time and space where I first met White Soul. However, I couldn't find him anywhere. I lingered for a long time, with no intention of meeting in the divine realm. I forgot our promise, forgot the heavenly rules, and even forgot that Mosang was waiting for me."
"I wandered in the human realm for a long time without any results when suddenly Mosang appeared in front of me. I desperately tried to escape, fearing that I would be caught and taken back. With my powers, how could I possibly match Mosang? He anxiously chased after me and before I could react, he struck himself hard."
"I was stunned; he had used nearly seventy percent of his Soul Energy. While it wouldn't kill him, it would certainly leave him severely injured. Then he shouted, 'Do you think injuring me will make me return to the divine realm? That's impossible!' I completely didn't understand what he was doing, and soon many divine soldiers came to take him away. I followed them back to the divine realm, and the final outcome was that Mosang had escaped, while Mirror Flower Fairy was credited for capturing him."
"Mosang was sent to Region, enduring torment every day, while I remained safe in the divine realm. Since then, I have stayed in Starlit Garden without stepping outside even once."
"I never expected that the ugly Three-Headed Serpent could be so loyal and righteous."
"Perhaps he doesn't know my current situation." Flower Tears sighed, gently resting her hand on her lap and no longer looking at me.
"Do you want to see him?" I asked.
"I don't know how to face him. This time I came to tell you to take me with you when you go to the ancestral hall; it’s time to end this."
"Okay, please don't hurt yourself."
Flower Tears smiled brightly, "Of course, once this matter is settled, I will have no more worries."
Looking at Flower Tears' smile always felt a bit strange; it was so radiant, but could it really bring liberation?
