Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 861 - 111: Reunion

"Liao, even you cannot stop me."

This was the last sentence Lie Sisi heard at the moment of her death.

Lie Sisi was terrified, she wanted to make some sound, but she found a taste of blood rising in her throat, and she could no longer make a sound.

The thing Lie Sisi feared most had happened.

Yue Jinghua recognized Yue Xiaoqi had recognized Liao.

Yue Jinghua drew out the Great Sword, and Lie Sisi’s body, like an inconspicuous fallen leaf, slipped off the back of the bronze demon dragon.

The Forbidden Space Technique of the Gold Eater Worm was used on the demon dragon, and its duration was very short, only a few blinks.

Yet in those few blinks, the changes that occurred were so dramatic.

Fa Xiaoyi, who was angry at Lie Sisi’s death, suddenly stiffened when he heard the weighty words from Yue Jinghua’s mouth.

He looked at the exquisitely cold woman before him, with eyebrows like a painting, not resembling Yue Xiaoqi at all.

Looking into those equally dark and bright eyes that never gave up, never admitted defeat, he was silent.

After a long while, until Yue Jinghua sighed lightly, Fa Xiaoyi seemed to wake from a dream and asked: "Xiaoqi, why did you kill her? Don’t you know she is Zhen Ni, she was our comrade."

When facing Lie Sisi, he might have had doubts.

But facing Yue Jinghua, he felt sincere trust.

He should have already guessed that the woman before him was Xiaoqi.

Only his Xiaoqi could be so extraordinarily beautiful, could emerge safe from his repeated attacks.

Compared to the former Yue Xiaoqi who didn’t care about anything, the current Yue Jinghua is smarter and more cautious.

Xiaoqi had grown.

"I never had such a comrade, one who would stab me in the back every time, like in the Hexagonal Building last time, and this time facing Shalman. Liao, you’ve disappointed me too much," Yue Jinghua lowered her eyelids, and leapt down from the demon dragon.

On the ground, even at her death, Lie Sisi was wide-eyed, remaining unyielding.

Even Lie Sisi noticed the difference between the two, let alone someone as astute as Yue Jinghua.

Since the last confrontation with Fa Xiaoyi in the Shang Kingdom, Yue Jinghua had been suspicious that Fa Xiaoyi was no longer the same "Fa Xiaoyi."

Since she, Yue Xiaoqi, could change her core to become "Yue Jinghua," and Zhen Ni could become "Lie Sisi," then why couldn’t Liao become "Fa Xiaoyi."

That time, when people from the Martial Arts Team used the "Xuan Crystal Gun" to injure the Sparrow Team, after seeing the Xuan Crystal Gun so similar to modern guns, Yue Jinghua finally confirmed Liao’s identity.

Just because of different standings, and personal grudges with "Fa Xiaoyi," Yue Jinghua had never acknowledged Liao.

Unexpectedly, her hesitation and reluctance to acknowledge led to the innocent Shalman’s death at Lie Sisi’s hands.

"Xiaoqi, I didn’t know Zhen Ni would set you up, I didn’t know... sorry, I let you lose your most important friend," Fa Xiaoyi’s gaze flickered, ever since arriving at the Canglong Continent, he imagined countless times the scene of reuniting with Xiaoqi, but never expected they would acknowledge each other after such a misunderstanding.

The now Xiaoqi was no longer the Xiaoqi of the past.

She had her own family, and her own friends.

Fa Xiaoyi felt a sense of loneliness and helplessness.

Yue Jinghua stood several steps away, yet he felt a wall between them that could not be broken.

Fa Xiaoyi returned Shalman’s Merit Ring and Beast Taming Ring to Yue Jinghua, throughout the process, Yue Jinghua did not exchange any glances with him.

"On the fifteenth of each month, the mist outside Zhuqiu will disperse, if you need me, I can..." Fa Xiaoyi took a deep breath, understanding that if he did not clarify today, he feared he might never gain Yue Jinghua’s forgiveness.

"No, you and I belong to different teams and countries, Liao, whether as Fa Xiaoyi or King of Spies Liao, you are a person who separates public from private matters. And I, too, have my own mission now. Both our matters regarding Zhen Ni will be settled after the Xuyang Trial concludes. I hope in the following months, we can compete fairly, you represent the Martial Arts Team, and I belong to my own team, we are competitors, our goal is the Heavenly Witch Pill," Yue Jinghua gripped Shalman’s Merit Ring.

The ring in her palm emitted a burning sensation, Shalman’s image and laughter remained vividly in her mind, as if it were yesterday.

In life, seek the person; in death, seek the corpse.

Even though Shalman is already... she would enter Zhuqiu, bringing Shalman’s remains out.

Yue Jinghua left the cave, Fa Xiaoyi said nothing, Xiaoqi was right, he was now the king of the Shang Kingdom, here to participate in the Xuyang Trial.

His goal was only one, victory, but if that victory came without her, what significance would it hold?

Upon leaving Qingfu Cave, Yue Jinghua once again called Qing Pu, "Qing Pu, tell me, what is inside Zhuqiu? Does Shalman have any chance of surviving?"

Although the Merit Points on the Merit Ring had disappeared, Yue Jinghua still couldn’t believe Shalman was dead.

"Zhuqiu... that area wasn’t originally called this name, its true name..." Qing Pu hesitated, he could feel Yue Jinghua’s anger and sorrow, yet to enter Zhuqiu, the only way was to wait for a month, for the mist to disperse once more.

"Are there any powerful Demon Beasts or Demon Clan inside?" As long as there was a chance to save Shalman, Yue Jinghua would not give up.

"No Demon Clan, when I left, it was just a barren hill. But it cannot be ruled out that after so many years, some Demons might have accidentally occupied the area. However, inside Zhuqiu is a maze, if one doesn’t know various arrays, it’s difficult to find direction in the maze. Without a Beast Taming Ring, even if Shalman entered that area and did not encounter blocking Demon Beasts, fatal dangers still abound," Qing Pu pondered.

Ten thousand years could change many things, the Zhuqiu he remembered was not this mist-shrouded hill.

"So, I can only wait another month?" Despite the unwilling heart, Yue Jinghua had no other plans; she kept Shalman’s Merit Ring close, rode a Green Bat back to the stone house, planning her entry into Zhuqiu after the mist dissipated next month, she silently prayed in her heart, Shalman, you must wait for us.
