Chapter 1403: Fairys Departure (1/2)

After a while, Fairy regained her wits and softly said: “Thank you, you are the one that will bring hope to this world.”

“No, I do not dare to claim your credit! Without you, there is no hope! What I have done is no big deal. I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you at all in the tough future.” He smiled and shook his head.

She nodded and earnestly said: “I understand.”

“Go. After another eon, it will come and perhaps closure shall be found.” He eventually sighed.

Fairy lifted the wooden coffin and went on her way. She didn’t make it far before turning back to look at him: “Will we meet again?”

Li Qiye pondered for a moment before cheerfully answering: “I don’t know. Perhaps. Maybe I’ll even take one step ahead of you and die above the nine skies!”

She mused his words before replying: “I know that place, but is it necessary to go there?”

“Yes.” Li Qiye seriously nodded: “This has been my lifelong goal, my sole aspiration. Many bones already pave this path! Countless ancestors never gave up, numerous others have agreed to fight to the end, and I’m no exception! That place is where I belong, just like how you have your own place that you belong.”

“Where I belong…” She murmured to herself and was lost in thought for a long time. Eventually, she stepped off the s.h.i.+p and casually tore apart the void to reveal a portal. The inside of the portal was full of immortal s.h.i.+mmers and mysterious floating laws. It looked like a portal to the immortal world.

She entered it and disappeared right away. Next, the portal closed as if nothing had happened. Li Qiye only smiled without commenting.

Jians.h.i.+ quietly asked a bit later: “Young n.o.ble, why didn’t you try and convince her to stay?”

Li Qiye withdrew his gaze and reiterated: “Keep her here?”

Ruyan chimed in: “Right, if you asked her, maybe she would have agreed to stay.”

Fairy’s style was impeccable. Her pretty features were beyond the capabilities of the pen. Any man would want to make her stay. Moreover, she had a power comparable to Immortal Emperors. Given the opportunity, anyone would want to get her to stay and would even pay a great price for it.

“Why should I? She has her path while I have my own. Even if we go together, one day we shall go our separate ways. Someone like her won’t give up because of me, and I won’t stop for a woman either.” He shook his head.

“What is she trying to do?” This was the question ruminating in Jians.h.i.+’s mind. What other things did Fairy want when she was already this invincible, even across the entire nine worlds?

Li Qiye went silent for a bit before answering: “Maybe, maybe one day, you two will have a chance to see what she must do.”

“Really?” The two sisters glanced at each other. His expression gave them an uneasy feeling.

Li Qiye gently brushed Jians.h.i.+’s slightly messy hair that was draping down and sighed: “I hope you two won’t get to see that day. May it stay far away.”

The two blurted in unison: “Why?”

He chose not to answer directly: “Because it won’t be a good thing when that day comes.”

He couldn’t change the inevitable. Like he said before, Fairy won’t give up because of him and he won’t stop his journey for her or Heaven Spirit. In the end, both Fairy and Heaven Spirit must rely on themselves!
