By the time all the supplies were gathered, it was already evening. Bai Yujing, Bivis, Shen Fei, and Hank came down to slowly push the boat out of the island using rollers. Unexpectedly, as they were pushing it out, they noticed a group rushing towards them from a distance.
Bai Yujing's keen eyes immediately spotted the small figures riding galloping horses coming their way. He quickly signaled everyone to stop and see who was approaching. Everyone leaned against the boat, wiping sweat and drinking water. Bai Yujing walked forward and soon realized it was Alice leading her escort team towards them. It seemed she knew Bai Yujing was leaving and had come specifically to see them off.
Today, Alice wore a silver cloak embroidered with stars, looking very splendid. When she reined in her horse in front of Bai Yujing, the horses appeared well-trained and showed no fear in front of such a giant.
"The cloak is beautiful, but it seems there are no stars in this world. Did you have the tailor make it for you?" Bai Yujing asked as he lowered his head.
Alice nodded, "Yes, I really like the stars of the human world and miss life there. However, I think this place suits me better!"
Bai Yujing smiled, "How is life as a queen? Are you getting used to it? Kaka, what about you?"
Alice glanced at Kaka, and they exchanged smiles. She tucked her wind-blown brown hair behind her ear and said to Bai Yujing, "Being a queen is indeed challenging. I feel a great responsibility on my shoulders. This place is not as developed and peaceful as the human world. But I believe I will work hard to govern this place into a country where all Leprechauns can live and work happily."
"Also, I want to thank you, Bai Yujing. You have done so much for Kaka and me. We are both very grateful to you. Without you, I don't think we would have our current lives!"
Bai Yujing nodded, "It's no problem; this is what Emma and I are willing to do. You are our friend, and for us, it's not a difficult task at all. Thank you for coming to see me off. However, after this farewell, I suppose we won't see each other again!"
Alice nodded with slightly reddened eyes; girls tend to be emotional. She probably felt a bit dazed about becoming queen. Kaka, being a man, was more rational and realistic. With him around, Bai Yujing didn't need to worry about their future.
"I will miss you both. I've had a painter create portraits of you to hang in my palace. In the future, my children with Kaka and our descendants will remember your kindness towards us!" Alice stood before her horse as Bai Yujing reached out his finger to gently touch her palm as if shaking hands in farewell.
Bai Yujing also felt a bit sentimental; after all, he had known Alice for over a year since meeting Emma: "I don't have much to give you as a parting gift. This is a peach pit from the human world. When I arrived here, I happened to bring a peach with me. After eating it, I've kept this pit without throwing it away. Perhaps it can grow into something interesting here and signifies that we once visited this place and left something behind!"
Kaka laughed from behind Alice and said, "You have forever left your mark in the history of Lilliput!"
The huge fruit pit was half the height of Alice. Bai Yujing cleaned it very thoroughly when he was bored, and the smooth surface of the pit looked as if it was filled with a mysterious aura. Alice held it in her hands and said, "I really like the fruits of the human world. Thank you, this is the best gift for me. From now on, whenever I see it, I will think of you all and remember the days spent in the human world!"
Bai Yujing returned to the side of the ship, and everyone exerted their strength once again to push the ship down from Sky Island. While the ship had not completely surged into the air, everyone quickly climbed up one by one. The ship slid along the rollers and slowly floated away, and Bai Yujing also flipped over and jumped onto the deck.
Bai Yujing turned back but saw those tiny figures in the distance still watching him and the others. He couldn't help but wave his hand and say, "Hey! Goodbye!"
Bai Yujing seemed to faintly hear Alice and Kaka's responses as he started the ship, which gradually accelerated away from Sky Island. The entire large ship slowly disappeared into the evening glow.
Bai Yujing walked from the rear deck into the cabin but did not expect to find someone squatting at the door. When he looked closer, it was Emma. Emma's eyes were also red; compared to Bai Yujing, she had a closer relationship with Alice and Kaka. When they were in England, Emma often went to Skye Island and Huckman's home to see Alice and Kaka. Emma loved chatting with Alice, and many things about the human world that Alice knew were heard from Emma.
"What's wrong? Why didn't you go down to say goodbye to Alice? Although she didn't say anything, it seemed like she was waiting for you!" Bai Yujing sat directly on the ground next to Emma.
Emma sniffled: "I don't like this kind of scene; I hate farewells, especially ones where we might never meet again. Will Hackman is even sadder than I am; I just saw him hiding in the kitchen crying!"
Bai Yujing hugged Emma: "But this kind of ending is always unavoidable. Alice has returned to her homeland, becoming the queen of Lilliput, living happily with Kaka. Just now, Alice told me she is already pregnant!"
Emma immediately turned to look at Bai Yujing: "What? Is that true?"
"Yes, it's true! Just like in fairy tales, the prince and princess live happily ever after—a perfect family happy ending. They do not belong to the human world, and we have fulfilled our promise to Alice and Kaka. This trip to Sky Country has already completed our first mission!"
Emma nodded, her expression becoming serious: "That's right; we still have a second mission. We must find the Fountain of Life. Bethany's condition has not improved as slowly as described by the doctor; instead, it has become more severe. We must find the Fountain of Life to cure Bethany; she is so young and shouldn't have to spend her life on a hospital bed."
Bai Yujing embraced Emma: "We are only one step away from our goal. The next stop is Island of Life, where we can find the Fountain of Life we are looking for. However, I have some concerns..."
Alice watched as the ship slowly disappeared into the horizon, tears finally streaming down her face. It was not only because of Emma and Bai Yujing, but also due to the sudden upheaval in her life and the disorientation of losing her familiar existence. Becoming a queen felt more like a dream to Alice.
The journey and adventures of Bai Yujing and his companions continued, but the story of Lilliput came to a close. Years later, Alice and Kaka finally secured their thrones. Rod Pus, who plotted rebellion, was suppressed by General Lick and hanged at the city gates of the imperial capital of Lilliput.
Many old noble families gradually declined, while new nobility rose to prominence. Under the leadership of Alice and Kaka, Lilliput finally reached its peak. However, due to the reproductive capacity of the Leprechaun being far lower than that of humans, typical families could only have two or three children at most. Coupled with accidental deaths and natural disasters, the population did not increase significantly, as if some inexplicable rule limited its growth.
Sixty years later, Alice and Kaka eventually passed away. The new generation of rulers had never met Bai Yujing and his companions, but their legends were forever recorded in the history of Lilliput. Among them, Bai Yujing was even referred to as a deity, and the war they fought was mythologized.
"In the end, the deities sailed back to their own realm on a sacred ship!" Emperor Bailan Lutes held his granddaughter Emma Lutus in his arms, recounting stories and legends from the past.
"Wow, what is the realm of the deities like?" little Emma Lutus asked with wonder.
Emperor Bailan Lutes smiled and replied, "I don't know that either, because your father has never been to the realm of the deities. However, your grandparents came from there. Your name is that of a goddess, and I hope you can be as wise and powerful as her!"
"I know! The sacred tree in Gorge is left by the deities; it represents the covenant between the deities and our Lotus Family, guarding us forever, right?"
"Haha, that's right!"
In the Mountain Valley where Bai Yujing and his companions departed from Sky Island, a gigantic tree grew tall enough to reach the sky.
