Chapter 376 (1/2)
Quiet.
The torrential rain struck upon Chai Ling's body. Queen Noble Star allowed the rain to strike and soak her whole body.
”The broken arrow beauty plays the konghou? An Elder Sister has appeared in this Buddhist verse. Could it be saying that Sister Konghou has a connection with Su Xing??” Chai Ling raised her head, her pupils wet. She again recomposed her mind, once again putting all her thoughts on Divine Mathematician Jiang Jing's final Heavenly Mystery.
In the sky, the stars of Star Maidens resonated and flickered with their grief.
The Heavenly Mystery written down using the Connecting Heaven Pagoda and the last strands of her willpower, bringing her own Divine Calculation to the limit. In addition, this prophecy for Su Xing's Star Duels was not only a brief glimpse into his immediate destiny, but it was even more so the mystery of the Start Duels.
”Without her, your lifetime is nothing but a dream of golden millet.” Konghou stroked her chin and muttered to herself.
”Who knows.”
In the rain, Konghou's somewhat spiritless muttering resounded.
”Noble Star Little Whirlwind Chai Jin, why do you so painstakingly amass understanding of the mystery of the Star Duels?”
The heavy downpour was split open along a burning question.
Chai Ling and Konghou shot glances at one another, not surprised at all.
A mighty woman garbed in gold walked out from within the rain. The heavy rain that fell on her body became nothingness.
”Chao Gai, huh.” Konghou's lazy and somewhat sad expression suddenly radiated with energy. Accompanying her languid tone, Konghou's figure suddenly moved. The rain was split open, her murderous aura allowing for no conversation.
Even the Thousand Buddha Star who was unexcelled in Liangshan Continent showed rare caution at Konghou's provocation. Chao Gai's palm opened, and a formless killing intent flowed past her fingers.
”Must you take action now?”
”Sister Konghou, do not be impulsive.” Chai Ling spoke out to stop her.
Konghou softly snorted. The killing intent in her fingers withdrew. ”Chao Gai, should Maiden Mountain act in these Star Duels, Your Servant1 will not sit idly by.”
Hearing this threat, Chao Gai did not bat an eyelid, yet her expression was even somewhat pleased.
”It seems This One's worries were unneeded.”
Chao Gai's gaze once again returned to Chai Ling's body, and she said: ”Noble Star Little Whirlwind Chai Ling. This One advises thou to stop before going too far. If you truly wish to comprehend the mystery of the Star Duels, then feel for yourself the cruelty of the Star Duels. Staying uninvolved is merely the conduct of a coward, and to sacrifice a Little Sister to obtain the Divine Calculation, this not the style of the queen Noble Star.”
Little Whirlwind Chai Ling's expression was not good at all.
”This Palace has no need for thee to come lecture.”
Chao Gai clearly only wanted to give this warning to Chai Ling. As for how she would reply, Chao Gai did not care. Profoundly glancing at them, ”Do your best!” Thousand Buddha Star took a step backwards, disappearing into nothingness.
As if nothing had ever happened.
”Your Servant actually feels that what Chao Gai said is very correct, Chai Ling.” Konghou then said. ”To comprehend and stay outside the Star Duels is not a bad plan from personal experience. Is that man not your chance, Chai Ling?”
”A chance is also his chance. This Palace is not so unbearable.”
Konghou teased her with a smile: ”A woman who waits for her chance is bound to be lonely!”
Chai Ling exerted Star Energy to sweep aside the rainwater, covering her lips with the feather fan, concealing her inner fluster. ”Do not speak about this for now. Elder Sister must follow This Palace to go watch him together? After all, this Heavenly Mystery has manifested Elder Sister's name.”
”Not going. Your Servant wants to go back and sleep. This sort of sad scene is better left to you, Chai Ling.”
Konghou yawned, her face disappointed.
Chai Ling forced a smile.
The rain stopped. Jiang Shuishui looked back and smiled, soundlessly thanking him.
Su Xing wanted to step forward and say something, but seeing the girl's expression that was sadder than a withered heart, his voice was choked in his throat. Jiang Shuishui looked up at the Stars, her body beginning to become hazy, like a mist. Following the sunlight, she ultimately faded away, leaving behind only a final, unforgettable image of grief.
The Meet Star's Crimson Star fell into Su Xing's heart. Meet Star Divine Mathematician Jiang Shuishui's last bit of Star Energy and the Heavenly Mystery were passed on to Su Xing.
Su Xing sighed, putting his hands together. The golden lotus blossomed in the air, raining down a solemn Buddhist light that sprinkled upon the Ecliptic Palace's rivers of blood.
Everyone was silent.
At the top of Yellow Gate Mountain, they erected a burial mound.
Su Xing opened his mouth and spat out Essence Blood. The Essence Blood turned into a droplet that finally revealed itself to be shining pearls. These pearls stacked together like an abacus, and following Su Xing's Divine Intent control, the pearls spiraled around the burial mound, immediately drilling into the grave.
All of the girls mourned.
Placing the Five Elements Sentencing Mental Calculation into Uncle Hai's tomb could be considered resolving Meet Star Divine Mathematician Jiang Shuishui's final wish.
Sorting out their grief, Su Xing and the girls glanced at each other.
Jiang Shuishui's death gave Su Xing a great shock and produced in him a sort of deep urge to protect them. Su Xing was very clear that now already was not the time to be on a scenic tour. Chao Gai's advice was full of warning, and the top priority now was to quickly increase their strength.
”Elder Sister Xinjie, did you decipher Jiang Shuishui's Divine Calculation??” Shi Yuan asked.
Wu Xinjie frowned.
The qilin's snow shines red. White wave raises golden wind. Bright moon's inviting cup intoxicates a night. The broken arrow beauty plays the konghou. The sound is faint for a millennium. Without her, your lifetime is nothing but a dream of golden millet.
