FSCQT – Chapter 53

Chapter 53 – Fairy Tales Are All Lies (End)

Sure enough, this dimension was too difficult to handle.

Actually, it didn’t matter much. If she was going to take the strategy route, it was best to keep her departure time a secret from the beginning. Otherwise, no matter what, in the end, he would still lose the thing he wanted the most. Wasn’t that inevitable that he would be blackening?

It was clear in her heart, but when Little Pink mentioned that it was possible to leave before, her eyes involuntarily swept over those beautiful azure eyes. Inside them, there was a mocking arrogance, but at the same time, Yan Luo saw a kind of desire.

The boy of fifteen or sixteen who has never experienced warmth, was a little bit like the previous her, making it hard for her to let go.

[Can’t let go of the handsome face of the little brother?]

“Well… it was part of the reason…”

…

😱

[Surprise, aren’t you?!] The particularly cheerful voice of Little Pink rang out.

“Not surprised, thanks. Where did you pop up from? And what’s going on? Has the mission failed?’

Yan Luo’s mouth twitched slightly as she inquired.

[Because of an unknown force.] Little Pink seemed helpless too. It was afraid that its timid host would be afraid to invade this side’s database on her own in the unknown field, so it came here.

“Unknown force?”

[Although I told the host before that this place hasn’t been defined as a fairy tale dimension, the setup is quite similar.]

“So?”

[Originally, at this time, regardless of whether the mission is completed or not, Host couldn’t stay. But Xiuyin went and made a deal with the Black Witch, forcibly connecting Host with this dimension. Also, the host’s original body won’t die but will continue to sleep until Xiuyin’s lifespan is exhausted.]

“So, are we waiting here until Xiuyin’s lifespan runs out?” Yan Luo stared with wide eyes. She couldn’t believe that the child went to make a deal with the Black Witch without her noticing.

[Host doesn’t need to worry. We won’t stay here for too long. Firstly, the flow of time on both sides is different, and Xiuyin made a deal with the Black Witch using his own sixty years of lifespan. We only need to wait a moment.]

Saying this, Little Pink lit up a spot in the darkness, which gradually rippled out, revealing the situation on Xiuyin’s side.

Yan Luo’s body was placed in the most comfortable palace. Except for necessary times, Xiuyin almost always stayed by her side. Yan Luo couldn’t hear what he was saying, but the aura around him made Yan Luo slightly uncomfortable.

There was no one around, and Xiu Yin’s words gradually ceased, immersed for a moment, sparkling droplets suddenly slid down, dripping onto Yan Luo’s cheek, then he gently wiped them away again.

Xiuyin’s lips curled into a smile. In fact, he couldn’t remember some things from his childhood, just endless mockery, inadvertently stained with disdain and boredom towards this world.

But she was like a crisp bell, breaking through the sky, instantly shattering his silent world.

It was just that the time given to him was too short, so short that he didn’t even have the time to truly possess her…

—But it’s okay… it’s okay… she would be afraid if she left by herself, right? She’s so delicate, weak, too timid… just wait for me a bit longer, not too long.

—Shall we go together?

In less than ten years, the new Empire led by Xiuyin repeatedly created a new world. However, Xiuyin’s body became worse and worse. A successor candidate was selected early from among the imperial children.

Finally, on a clear morning, sunlight fell on the bed, and the two lay there embracing each other, their black and golden hair entwined.

The black mark on the bottom of his eyes reminded him that his time had come to an end. Xiuyin’s breathing became weaker and weaker. Feeling the same reaction from Yan Luo, a pleasant smile appeared on his lips.

Suddenly, the person in his arms, with eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, moved slightly. Xiuyin was stunned, the pair of eyes he had longed for slowly opened, and her cold hand touched him.

Almost instinctively, he lowered his head and nuzzled his head against hers. Xiuyin’s lips trembled slightly, staring intently at those black eyes.

“You did well… really well… I like you the most…” Although her voice was hoarse, it was like heavenly music to Xiuyin.

The strength in his body receded, so Xiuyin struggled to grasped Yan Luo’s hand. The he quietly closed his eyes, and the smile on his lips was calm and gentle, just like the past.

In his life, he did not come with brightness but fell asleep embracing redemption…

That was enough.
