"Why?" I asked, my tone somewhat bitter.
"Your presence will only bring catastrophic disaster to Moon."
"You're lying, I don't believe you!"
Another person claiming that my existence would harm Silver Moon. Why does everyone say this? Clearly, I am the one who wants to protect Silver Moon the most.
"I'm not lying. There is no emotion in Moon's Fate. Once he gives his heart, the only calamity he faces is the moment of awakening."
"Is it because we live in different worlds?"
"No, it's that Moon—" The woman looked pained, as if it was difficult for her to speak.
"What happened to him?"
The woman choked up, her body trembling, and said weakly, "Sigh, Moon is not a ghost at all."
"What? Then what is Silver Moon?"
"He was originally a part of Dark Stone. I accidentally obtained it and became greedy. After infusing it with half of my Soul Energy, it transformed into human form. His emergence must be a new entity surpassing all Demon Clan beings. Personally, I hoped he could always protect my eldest son and assist him in securing his position as the king of the Demon Clan. I raised these two children together, and over time, I came to regard Moon as my own child."
"Does Silver Moon know about this?" I asked.
So that noble young man was not born of any creature; his physical form was merely a stone. He existed in a world that did not belong to him, enduring everyone's indifference toward him. His existence was like a cold weapon, destined to receive too little.
"At first, he didn't know. Moreover, he had a very good relationship with Silverfall, my eldest son. Luo Er liked him very much and would take Silver Moon wherever he went. Perhaps it was this excessive reliance that ultimately led to his death..."
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, was he harmed?"
"Silverfall is, after all, transformed from a spirit stone, and his intelligence naturally surpasses ours. Gradually, his comprehension exceeded that of all the new generation of Demon Clan youths. Sigh, it was my fault for being too eager and greedy for success."
"I overlooked Silverfall's feelings, insisting on making him stronger and stronger. They all thought I favored Silverfall, but Luo'er never complained; she still liked being with him."
"However, I don't know who leaked Silverfall's background. Fortunately, they only knew he wasn't my child and didn't know his true identity. That day, Moon questioned me like he had gone mad, asking if I ever regarded him as my own child. From then on, he no longer trusted me. He thought I had been using him all along."
"This is all because of Siyimo!" the woman shouted, her gaze filled with venomous resentment.
"Siyimo?"
"Yes, it's her. She sowed discord between Silverfall and us, inciting him to leave us. In truth, Siyimo only wanted to obtain Moon. If she killed Silverfall and Moon was not the true heir, then Siyimo would naturally inherit the Demon Clan's legacy. Luo'er knew about this and wanted to explain it to Silverfall, but she fell into Siyimo's trap and never returned. By the time the king and I arrived, it was too late."
"Siyimo had long gone mad, turning Silverfall into her puppet. She thought her plans were flawless, but unfortunately, she underestimated Silverfall's strength. The king publicly announced Silverfall as the new heir of the Demon Clan but cruelly blamed Silverfall for Silverfall's demise."
"I also hate myself for being so greedy back then, taking that piece of Life Stone to transform Silverfall into human form. I regret not discovering Siyimo's ambitions sooner. I resent the king for never being able to take action against his sister; otherwise, we wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament."
"Now Moon is my only hope and support; I cannot bear to see him hurt."
"Please tell me why everyone says I will harm Silverfall. I truly never intended to hurt him!" I pleaded.
"I've said it before; Moon is the Life Stone—intelligent yet devoid of emotions. Although he had a good relationship with Luo'er at first, he only saw it as a responsibility to protect her. Don't you understand? A stone cannot possess feelings! What he is doing goes against the natural order."
"What natural order? Do you think it's in accordance with the natural order for me, a human, to stand here?"
"No, Silverfall has responsibilities he cannot escape." The woman said sadly.
"I have my own responsibilities too, but I will never harm him."
"Sigh, even if I deliberately changed him into human form, he ultimately cannot escape the fate of sacrifice."
"Sacrifice?"
"Yes, in the end, he will die because of you, sacrificing himself for you."
... No, it won't happen. It definitely won't.
Suddenly, I felt a strong fear that everything this woman said might be true. That premonition was so intense it terrified me.
"The life and death tribulation of Moon is about being moved; who is moved will die for whom. This is destined."
"I don't want that. Please tell me what I should do." I gritted my teeth, closed my eyes, and knelt down, trembling as I prayed for this dream to end soon.
"Child, everything has its cause and effect, and your existence is also inevitable. Your life is destined to face numerous dangers, losses, and gains. Because we all love Moon, we selfishly do not want him to be hurt. However, everything he ultimately does is not only for you but also for the three realms."
"As you said, I am not a benevolent person, but Moon is the ultimate benevolent one. His love awakens to protect what you cherish."
What I cherish— is peace.
...
"Xi Meng, you have passed the test," White Soul said.
I was still recalling the words of that woman, feeling very heavy-hearted.
"White Soul, are we perhaps being too narrow-minded about some things?" For instance, I do not want to lose Silver Moon or anyone around me. But if the conclusion of the story requires our sacrifice to end it, can my unwillingness alone suffice?
"Xi Meng, ever since being with everyone, I have never feared that one day I would die. My destined lifespan continues now that I have you all by my side through life and death, unwavering."
"Yes, ha ha, me too. Still, if that day really comes, I absolutely will not die behind you all."
Later, that day really came, but something happened that caused me lifelong pain, something I could never forget. I failed to keep my promise; the truth was too cruel. Of course, that's just a side note.
"Foolish girl, we will all protect you."
"White Soul, have you ever been afraid of death?"
I was still afraid, afraid of you leaving.
After hesitating for a long time, White Soul finally spoke, "I have been."
But no matter how I asked, he wouldn't tell me when. So I pouted and walked away briskly.
...
I ignored the pair of eyes behind me, filled with affection, obsession, and a hint of repression.
It was a petite figure who scolded everyone in Holy Spirit Village for him; for the first time, someone truly felt sad for him. The previous pessimism seemed to fade away, wanting to stay by her side forever, feeling that warmth and desperately wanting to live on.
These were the last words White Soul said to me at the end of his life, but unfortunately, he never revealed who it was...
In fact, we are all the same, with a heart that feels fragile and as easily breakable as glass.
