The boy's body reacted slightly, his delicate eyelashes trembling twice before slowly opening. What met my eyes was a pair of black, grape-like eyes, terrifyingly clear.
At that moment, I couldn't understand the meaning behind Bai Li's gaze. He struggled to sit up, seemingly annoyed to see me.
"I'm sorry, Bai Li." To break the deadlock, I embraced Bai Li, and his movements became somewhat sluggish.
"Why? Didn't you promise, friend?" Bai Li's voice was weak, so faint it was almost inaudible.
"I have to go save everyone; they are my closest people."
"And me?"
I wanted to say that he was also important to me, but the words wouldn't come out. My mouth was filled with bitterness; after all, I was the one who let go first.
"I knew it. None of you want to stay by my side; no one wants to."
Why did things turn out this way? If I had been more careful back then and thought more about Bai Li, perhaps it wouldn't have come to this. All the harm I had caused him seemed to be reopened by me, even deeper than before. I'm afraid nothing can be salvaged now.
Could it be that Bai Li would really die like this, harboring resentment towards me?
Perhaps now I could only do one last thing for Bai Li.
"Bai Li, let's clear up any misunderstandings while we still can, okay?"
Bai Li was unwilling to say more to me and sat there in a daze.
"Don't you want to see your mother?"
Bai Li mechanically turned his head to look at me, a flash of disdain crossing his face.
"I am not lying to you, I mean it."
I clearly remember that in the great hall, the lonely boy spoke, "If possible, I want to see my mother and ask her why she abandoned me."
During those few days when we got along harmoniously, Bai Li slowly began to trust me, and we shared our stories with each other.
"It is really true." I gently placed Bai Li down and walked a short distance away.
"Xi Meng is here, pleading with the God of Hell to summon Bai Li's mother, to sing for him at night, to dance for her under the moon, to let light cover her sorrowful soul, and may dawn guide her arrival. Gates of Hell, open!"
If there was even a trace of reluctance in her heart, if there were many things she couldn't let go of, then she would remain in hell and unable to reincarnate. Perhaps she truly loved Bai Li.
The Gates of Hell gradually became clearer, and a woman with long white hair stepped out, wearing a simple white gown without any embellishments. Her beauty resembled that of a snow mountain goddess—calm and sacred.
No wonder Zhen'er said that Bai Li resembled their mother the most; they indeed shared seven parts of similarity. However, Bai Li had experienced too much and lacked that kind of confident nobility. Instead, White Soul was closer to her in this regard.
"Snow Demon Clan, Snow Miao pays respects to you."
I did not expect her to bow to me!
I hurriedly returned the gesture and explained flusteredly, "I am Bai Li's friend; you really don't have to do this!"
Snow Miao shook her head and said no more as she stood up.
"Li'er."
That one call of "Li'er" seemed to contain too many emotions, but unfortunately, it fell like a stone into water without causing any response.
"I know you resent me."
"Hmph." Bai Li struggled to get up, and I quickly supported him, letting him lean against me.
Now that Bai Li had become like this because of me, he certainly didn't want to face the person he missed the most in such a disheveled state.
"Aren't you dead yet?" Bai Li forced out these words through clenched teeth, sending a chill through me.
Snow Miao seemed unfazed and said, "I am already dead; I just don't want to be reincarnated."
I could clearly feel Bai Li's body trembling, not from pain but from the shivering of his soul; he was sad, very sad.
"I can't let go of you all. Knowing that you are safe allows me to rest easy and truly leave the Three Realms without being reincarnated," Snow Miao's tone sounded more like she was recounting someone else's story, devoid of emotional highs and lows. But what she revealed was that she was truly exhausted.
"The only thing you can't let go of is that precious Fourth Son, right?"
"No, Tian Ge, there’s also you all. Each of you is my best memory; they are all the same."
"Hahaha, you're really laughable. The same? What does 'the same' even mean?"
Snow Miao moved forward, just reaching out her hand to touch Bai Li, but was stopped cold by his indifferent gaze.
"Li Er, do you hate me so much?"
"Hate? Hmph, what is hate? I don't even remember who you are. After you abandoned me, I have nothing to do with the entire Holy Spirit Village anymore!"
"I never abandoned you." Snow Miao finally showed some emotion and anxiously explained.
"Never? You left me out there! Where were you when I almost died? If it weren't for Serpent Sovereign, I would have died long ago, even before you!"
"Shut up! Don't mention that Evil Beast!"
“Evil Beast?! That Evil Beast saved me! What, do you hate him for taking your precious son’s life?”
“Li'er, if it weren't for him using illusion magic to hide you, we would have found you long ago!”
“How ridiculous, why would he do that? Do you think I would believe you?!”
“Can’t you see? He is using you all, slowly sowing discord in the Bai Residence, ultimately turning the entire Holy Spirit Village into puppets, with no one able to escape!” I couldn’t bear to watch any longer; Bai Li was filled with resentment and couldn’t see the truth.
“The Lord is right. That Evil Beast hasn’t fully recovered yet, so he doesn’t dare to act recklessly. I nearly killed him back then.”
“So what if that’s the case? You just want to protect White Soul!”
“It’s not like that, really. I love you all, every single one of you. Your constitution is inherently weak; you can’t gather Soul Energy, and moreover, you won’t live long. Only Soul can save you; every word he says can change someone’s fate.”
Snow Miao painfully closed her eyes, recalling what had happened back then. “I wanted Soul to speak every day, to change your fate, but I was also Aware that doing so would shorten his already limited lifespan, so I never knew what to do. I thought my worries were too trivial for such a small child to understand. But one day, when Soul was very young, he actually spoke up and said he hoped Brother Three Bai Li could grow up smoothly.”
“Since then, I felt indebted to him and stayed by his side all the time. At that time, his Soul Energy wasn’t very strong, so every word he said could only have a limited effect. I thought I would wait until he grew a bit more and gradually change your fate. Back then, The Sacrifice of the Demon Child was considered quite normal, so I favored you and wanted him to use his limited lifespan to change yours. But after spending more time with Soul, I discovered that there were many flaws in the past rituals involving the Cursed Child.”
“Later on, not long after that, something happened to you; and you know what happened afterward.”
Bai Li needed time to digest this; everything that had happened over such a long period was simply a huge misunderstanding, and the ultimate cause of it all was the belief in Mosang.
