Ningxia woke up from a long dream, still unable to break free from those ups and downs of memories.
The mixture of tenderness, sadness, joy, and distress made her almost drown in this distant, dreamlike world.
But a dream is a dream after all and can never become reality. It’s time to wake up.
The little girl's eyelids lying in the pure white space trembled, and she slowly opened them, and the slightly soft natural light came into her eyes.
Ning Xia stared blankly at the white vault, looking around subconsciously, doubts flashing in her eyes.
Where... is this?
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked and extremely dry, like a wave-breaking machine that had not been started for a long time, and she finally managed to make a few unpleasant rattling sounds.
There was a clear chirping in my ears, gentle and familiar that made people cry. That is the unique sweet talk of the Phoenix, with a little excitement and kindness.
She remembered. She is Ningxia, from Ningxia in the 21st century, and then fell into the magical country of immortality.
Here she has a pair of ordinary parents, a humorous brother, a lovely senior brother, a teacher who has always taken care of her, and faces that are either thick or shallow in her memory.
The last scene in her memory was when she accepted the invitation from the city lord and came to attend the banquet.
This is true.
So--
What happened to that extremely long and truly tearful life that unfolded as Xi Xia?
Which one is real and which one is illusion?
Ningxia felt sad in her heart, and a huge sense of emptiness and loss enveloped her. This is the end……
She raised her eyes and met a pair of amber eyes, which were clear and translucent as if they had been soaked in autumn water, but also lingering as if she wanted to speak.
Ning Xia had the illusion that the moment she saw the other person, she seemed to have traveled back in time to that long time ago. Both pairs had the same light and closed their eyes in a similar arc.
The girl's beautiful face becomes more and more holy in this white space, unlike the mortals here.
No, she is indeed not a mortal in this world, but the beginning of all these things. This was confirmed from the moment she saw the other person.
Those were a pair of peach blossom eyes that were clearly the same as those of Xitai Weng, glowing with a strangely familiar light. Ningxia was in a daze, unable to distinguish reality from fiction for a moment.
"This is my soul space." Ning Xia was stunned by the other party's words.
"I'm Xi Muqing."
Xi Muqing...Xi...
Ning Xia's eyes widened slightly, and an idea came to her mind.
"The prototype of that illusion. Those are my family members." Phoenix looked deeply at the girl opposite, with a little starlight in his eyes.
Xi Zhen, Xi Yong, Xi Yun... are all family members of the phoenix in front of me.
It turns out that her warm memories and deep-seated emotions were all fake, just a false memory of someone else's death. Ningxia lowered her head in despair, finding it difficult to accept.
A hand gently fell on her head. It was so warm and had a familiar and reassuring aura. Ningxia murmured almost absentmindedly: "Tai Weng."
"I've been watching you, kid." The voice was childish, but unexpectedly overlapped with the thick male voice in his memory.
"Tai Weng!" the girl shouted out uncontrollably.
"I'm sorry for bringing you in without your consent. But I really can't wait any longer. Too many years have passed. I urgently need someone -"
Xi Muqing paused, looked at a distant place that she couldn't see now, and said sadly: "...Take me home."
"I noticed you very early, and I saw your memory during the first trial." Phoenix thought of that strange world with light and earth, and looked a little puzzled: "Your place is really a strange place."
After hearing what the other party said, Ningxia, who had been a little relaxed because of the other party's previous vest, tensed up again.
She came from another world and had always kept it deep in her heart. She was afraid to let outsiders know about it.
Now that she was exposed to the light of the world by a familiar stranger, she subconsciously became vigilant, fearing that the other person would say something detrimental to her.
"You're fine." Fenghuang said to himself as if he didn't notice Ningxia's frightened expression.
"You've lived a really good life." The other person sighed almost with emotion, a look of melancholy that didn't match his appearance appeared on his face.
Even though it had been so long and she only had a trace of her soul left now, the past grudges were still vividly visible to her.
In her whole life, she has never been able to truly get rid of the irreversible fate, the sad fate of being a white child. I have been trapped in that narrow cage my whole life, unwilling to let others go, nor myself.
She is resentful and unwilling. After so many years...after so many years, she still can't let go deep in her heart. Why is it her, letting her bear all this.
However, that was all a done deal. So many years have passed, and the old friends who have long ago may have turned into withered bones in the grave, and she has also been reduced to a closed place here and turned into a residual soul.
Day after day passed, her remaining will became weaker and weaker day by day, and she could only huddle in the depths of Fengming City in a daze.
She didn't know how long she could survive, and she didn't know when she would completely wear away and become a wisp of smoke on this land.
But her soul has been screaming crazily. She wants to go home, wants to return her soul to her homeland, and wants to bring her body back to the land that gave birth to and raised her.
She couldn't wait any longer.
Those chosen children have more or less their own adventures, including amazing geniuses, descendants of divine blood, and even a child who is closely related to their Phoenix clan.
But none of them are as strange as Ningxia. That child has the flavor of space rules, and the essence of his soul is also different from the people here.
Phoenix specifically singled out Ning Xia. She became curious and wanted to see how this guy was different from others.
Then she saw what a special guy he was.
She saw a truly free soul.
Watch how this child walked out of his own life step by step in a difficult situation.
Even if she is cursed by Bai Zi, even if she is in a disadvantageous situation, even if she encounters betrayal, every step she takes is so determined and she never regrets.
Although it is not perfect, it still exudes dazzling light. That was something she couldn't do before.
This girl, whom I had never met before, gave the answer in this short period of time and in this fictitious memory frame.
About life, about choices.
She suddenly realized that this life had always been her choice.
Being bullied, betrayed, self-pitying, self-destruction... it was always her own choice.
