Chapter 10, we can finally grow old together

Wen Jinliang held my hand and smiled, saying: "The days ahead will be lively, let's go back to school."

Isn't it?" Wen Jinliang released my arm and pointed at the potion on the ground with a cold smile, "If not, do you need to mix this chronic poison into my diet?"

Substitute? No, no, no! My dear prince..." Mei Li laughed as she looked at Wen Jin Liang, "How could you be a substitute? You are him! You are the despicable prince who deceived me and burned me alive, my beloved!"

I stood up from the soft grass, gazing at the starlight, and said: "Starlight, I may not ask you why you do this, but please take me back. Wen Jinliang will worry about me."

"A week?" I looked at Xiao Wu in astonishment

Because the monk at the temple said that the higher the wish card is hung, the more effective it is, I climbed all the way to the top of the tree to tie our wish cards, mine and Wen Jinliang's, up there

The starlight revealed a smile to me: "Your master was once my master."

Am I an insignificant person? Upon hearing this statement from Wen Jinliang, I couldn't help but laugh. His display of indifference finally shattered the last glimmer of hope within me, and the pain in my body intertwined with the pain in my heart, nearly driving me to madness. I could no longer endure such torment, and a mouthful of blood spewed from my lips

Why hasn't Xiao Qi woken up yet? Didn't you say she was fine?

Then, as if I had thought of something, I swiftly turned my head to look at the man who had been detained. Upon clearly seeing his appearance, I covered my mouth in disbelief

The starlight also told me that, in fact, the prince had fallen in love with Meili back then. However, the prince's parents did not allow them to be together, so they set fire and killed Meili. After learning this truth, the starlight was always afraid to tell Meili and Jino, because at that time they were unwilling to listen at all, so he had no choice but to escape with this truth. ... It was not until Xiao Wu sought him out that he finally made up his mind not to let the tragedy happen again ...

My door was inexplicably opened. Curiously, I walked in and found that the room seemed to have been rummaged through, as if it had been subjected to a thorough search. Everything inside was scattered on the floor, and even my wardrobe was in complete disarray

"Madman?" Meili completely lost control of her emotions because of Wen Jinliang's words. Hot tears streamed down her cheeks as she exclaimed, "You are right, I am indeed a madwoman! A madwoman who loves you crazily! But now, I have finally awakened from my madness. My dear prince, I must thank you for this! Thank you for using that fire to completely awaken me!"

The starlight silently gazed at me for a moment, and finally nodded, saying: "Alright, I will tell you everything."

Good

In the gentle narration of the starlight, I finally understood the entangled grievances and affections between Mei Li and Wen Jin Liang across their past and present lives

And I was no longer willing to face such a cruel Wen Jinliang, I quickly turned and ran towards the door, as I ran, I felt my body weaken, and I fell to the ground, losing all consciousness.

Isn't this man the one depicted in the painting in the castle? It turns out that his resemblance to Wen Jinliang is not my illusion, for he is indeed the reincarnation of Wen Jinliang, the prince who betrayed Meili. However, he does not appear cruel at all now; on the contrary, he seems to be in great pain when facing Meili

After taking the pill, I only felt my strength gradually returning. I looked at Xiao Wu, just about to ask her how she knew I was here, when she suddenly slapped my forehead hard and said, "Silly Xiao Qi! You were deceived by that woman and Jino!"

However, just as we were on our way to find Wen Jinliang, Jino found us first. We all knew that he came with ill intentions, so we assumed a stance ready for battle

Wen Jinliang walked up to me, a brilliant smile at the corner of his lips: "It seems that when it comes to matters of the heart, even someone as bold as Xiao Wu can turn into a coward."

I looked at the crane in fear, instinctively taking a few steps back, and the tears on my face abruptly ceased.

I just controlled her a little. Don't worry, your dear Xiao Qi is doing just fine. " Meili said with a grin, her face displaying a near-mad expression, "I want to watch you be killed by the one you love right in front of me! Just like I was back then! Hahaha!

After a dozen moves, both Xiao Wu and I sustained considerable injuries. In contrast, Jino observed us steadily, appearing relaxed.

My brow twitched, and I incredulously asked, "Is this news revealed by the master?"

It was only at this moment that I understood why Xiao Wu was so obsessed with the starlight. She chased after the starlight because she had long realized the ambiguous relationship between him and the master. Perhaps I had noticed this a long time ago, but I had been unwilling to think of it that way. However, now I must clarify all of this

After the coma, I did not sleep for long. When I woke up, I found myself locked in an unfamiliar room

I hope that in the next life, I can still walk hand in hand with him in the morning light that fills the sky

"Magic potion?" Wen Jinliang laughed heartily upon hearing my words, yet there was no trace of amusement in his eyes. "Xiao Qi, do you think I am a three-year-old child? Magic? There is no such thing as magic in this world!"

At this moment, I just want to cry wholeheartedly, to express all the sadness within me through tears

Wen Jinliang did not even glance at the potion on the table, seemingly not hearing my words. He turned back and continued to speak intimately with the girl beside him, completely ignoring me

In summary, we will leave here first, and discuss the specifics as we go," said Xiao Wu as he led me out of the room. ... After exiting the room, I realized that this was a secret passage beneath the villa, and Wen Jinliang had actually locked me in here

I immediately shook my head: "It is too much for you to handle Jino alone!"

Wen Jinliang, upon hearing Mei Li's words, finally lost the indifferent expression on his face. He stood up and walked to my side, his eyes filled with familiar warmth: "Xiao Qi... I was really foolish. I am sorry..."

As the sound of the bottle hitting the ground echoed, the color drained from my face in an instant. Wen Jinliang's actions and words made me tremble uncontrollably, and the pain in my heart was so intense that I could barely feel anything.

I stared blankly at Xiao Wu, incredulously gasping: "They have no intention of giving up on killing Wen Jinliang, nor do they plan to let me go?"

Starlight came to sit by my bedside and said softly: "Xiao Qi, in fact, you are another Mei Li... back in those years..."

In an instant, blood stained my vision, and the intense pain caused me to fall to the ground. Wen Jinliang's face turned pale at that moment as he supported me on the ground, frantically calling my name

A thought flashed through my mind; the pressing matter at hand is Wen Jinliang. I hurriedly made my way to the small apartment where I used to live, but the room was empty.

"Did you previously mix this substance into my daily diet?" Wen Jinliang asked again. His expression revealed no signs of anger, yet there was not a trace of a smile either

Starlight ... ... '' I gazed at the starlight before me, feeling so sorrowful that I could not utter a word

The starlight looked at me, opened its mouth, yet ultimately said nothing.

Ah, you finally admit it, you came to my side because of someone else. And indeed, the master behind you wants my life, so you faithfully carry out her orders!" Wen Jinliang looked at me with a cold smile, forcefully shaking off my hand that was tightly gripping him

"Jin Liang, this sister is spitting blood!" The girl looked at me in panic

When I dragged my injured body to school, I was already too exhausted to speak. I endured the pain in my body and found Wen Jinliang in the library. He was talking to a strange girl, wearing the gentle smile that I was familiar with.

No wonder the master despises love so much, and harbors such hatred towards the prince, and towards Wen Jinliang. The deception and betrayal of a lover can be so excruciating that it makes one wish for death! After hearing Mei Li's experience, I was filled with deep sorrow, as if I were the one being set ablaze by a lover. At that moment, I suddenly understood Wen Jinliang's actions; he must have spoken to me with such feelings at that time.

After the starlight led me away from the flower garden, it placed me in a carriage. I sat in the pitch-black carriage, only able to hear the rumbling sound of the wheels outside. After a long while, the carriage finally came to a stop

I do not know how long it has been, but I woke up to the sound of a quarrel. In my line of sight was a magnificent Western-style hall, where a handsome man was being firmly restrained by several servants. He kept shouting, "Meri! You cannot set fire to Meri! She is my beloved!"

Wen Jinliang was taken aback by Mei Li's words, his brow twitching as he looked at her in surprise and said with disdain, "So you are a madwoman!"

Seeing this scene, my heart felt as if it were being cut by a knife in agony. Yet, I still endured the intense pain in my heart and walked towards Wen Jinliang, softly calling out: "Wen Jinliang..."

Star light, you ... ...

At that moment, he felt that he saw the shadow of Meili in me, so he placed the kind side that Meili had separated into my body. Over time, Meili's kindness gradually merged with me, becoming inseparable, so when I died, the other side within Meili also perished

Meili? I was astonished as I followed the man's gaze. Not far from the floor-to-ceiling window stood a tall pillar, with a petite girl bound to it, enduring the torment of fierce flames. On her beautiful face was an unbearable expression of despair and sorrow, as a tear slipped from the corner of her eye

Wen Jinliang's tears fell onto my face, and he said: "Xiao Qi, you cannot leave me... you must not!" He held me tightly in his embrace, his voice filled with sorrow.

But I no longer had the strength to respond to him. As my vision blurred, I saw the once confident Meili scream, clutching her chest as she fell down. Xingguang and Jinuo rushed to her side at the same time

"Wen Jinliang, I like you, I like you the most." I hugged Wen Jinliang tightly and whispered, "You must not say those cruel words to me again. Do you know how sad those words make me? That suffocating pain is something I can still feel even now!"

Meli gradually calmed down due to Keno's advice. She got up from her chair, walked over to Wen Jinliang, crouched down beside him, and traced her fingertip across his cheek, instantly leaving a deep blood mark. She said: "My detestable prince, after crossing countless years, I have finally seen you again. Hahaha, how wonderful. This time, it is you who shows a look of pain before me."

Wen Jinliang suddenly spoke, saying: "You should not have come back." After saying this, he slowly walked into my room and approached me. In his hand, he held a bottle of medicine, which was the "Ying" that Jino had given me.

I have already hung the wish card in the highest place, and our wishes will surely come true. After climbing down the tree, I smiled and said to Wen Jinliang

Wen Jinliang heard the girl's words and instantly looked up at me, but then quickly lowered his head again, coldly saying: "Don't mind her."

"If I tell you to leave, then just go, no need to be so verbose! Don't forget you still have Wen Jinliang as your partner! No matter what, you cannot explain yourself here!" Xiao Wu shouted angrily

Of course it is meaningful! I smiled at Wen Jinliang and said softly, "At least before I die, I can let you know how much I love you." After saying this, I stood up and drew the dagger from my bosom, swinging it towards Meili.

You cannot return to Wen Jinliang's side now. The starlight interrupted the multitude of questions I wanted to ask, as it looked at me expressionlessly and spoke.

I was so terrified that I could not control myself, and could only tightly grasp Wen Jinliang's arm, saying: "Wen Jinliang, I admit that I have indeed concealed some things from you, but I truly did not intend to deceive you. My master sent me to be by your side to protect you, not to kill you. I have always been by your side with the intention of protecting you! Although my master's ultimate goal was indeed to have me kill you, she later changed her mind and abandoned her hatred for you... My master sent me to be by your side to protect you, not to kill you. I have always been by your side with the intention of protecting you! Although my master's ultimate goal was indeed to have me kill you, she later changed her mind and abandoned her hatred for you..."

So that's how it was, no wonder Xiao Wu went with He to rescue us at that time

During the escape, Xiao Wu and I exchanged information with each other. It turned out that after she woke up, she went to look for Xing Guang, but before she could find Xing Guang, she heard the news of my disappearance in Japan

I do not know how long I have slept, I only feel a dull pain in my head. I open my eyes, and what greets me is an endless flower garden. I sit up abruptly, my mind struggling to process the scene before me.

That is Meili! It is Meili from a past life!

Suddenly, the sound of the door opening was heard, and I thought it was He and the others. However, it turned out to be Xiao Wu, whom I had not seen for a long time, and I was somewhat taken aback

This is truly wonderful! Finally, I have lost all consciousness

The starlight opened the door and helped me out of the car, as I faced the brightness outside. I squinted my eyes a bit, feeling somewhat unaccustomed to it

What does the phrase "next time? Starlight" mean? He truly is not an ordinary human, he just disappeared like that, is it magic? Truly impressive

Wen Jinliang did not move; he calmly looked at Meili and asked, "What have you done to Xiao Qi?"

Meili was caught off guard by my sudden attack, taking a step back and falling to the ground. After quickly regaining his composure, Keno immediately charged at me, but his attack was intercepted by the starlight that flashed into existence.

"You should go back," said Starlight to me, "Next time, I will come to save you again." After saying this, he and the carriage disappeared before my eyes

Xiao Wu let out a breath, wiped the bloodstains from the corner of her mouth, and said to me: "Xiao Qi, when I say go later, you must leave immediately. I will hold off Jinuo for you"

Wen Jinliang's companion, He Jianxiao Wu, ran away, and he immediately followed after stepping out

I walked slowly out of the villa gate hand in hand with Wen Jinliang, facing a brilliant light, moving towards a life of happiness

"Little Five, Starlight..." I struggled to sit up, hardly able to believe that I was still alive... That knife had plunged straight into my heart; there was no way I could have survived that...

I suddenly sat up and found that the wounds on my body had all been treated. The beautiful singing continued, and I looked up to see Xingguang singing loudly amidst the flying blossoms not far away. At that moment, he appeared so happy and serene.

Hmm, I replied with a smile

"Kakak—" I couldn't bear the pain in my chest and started to cough. After finally regaining my composure, I placed the medicine that Xiao Wu gave me on the table in front of Wen Jinliang: "Wen Jinliang, this is what I put in your food every day, 'Ying'. It is really not poison! If you don't believe me, you can take it to the hospital for testing! I truly have no intention of harming you..." If you don't believe me, you can take it to the hospital for testing! I truly have no intention of harming you..."

Wen Jinliang raised the bottle in his hand and looked at me, asking, "Xiao Qi, this thing belongs to you, right?"

In the end, her expression gradually became frenzied

I stared blankly at Wen Jinliang, watching as the dagger was about to pierce his chest. In that moment, with the last bit of strength I had, I changed the direction of the dagger—plunging it into my own heart

I looked at the starlight with a smile on my face and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Alright, let's go together." Perhaps, at this moment, he was also unwilling to escape any longer.

We wandered until midnight before returning to the hotel. After getting back to the hotel, I was so exhausted that I collapsed onto him. In a daze, it seemed that someone picked me up, and I could smell the familiar warmth in the air.

Wen Jinliang did not speak, but he reached out and embraced me. In a faint whisper, I seemed to hear him say, "Silly Little Seven." However, he quickly pushed me away and returned to his cold demeanor. He said to me淡淡地: "At this point, what significance do your words hold?"

Returning once again to the cold and oppressive underground cave where I was born, I felt an overwhelming sense of discomfort and chill. Meili sat as always on the high platform chair, while Jino stood silently beside her. Before them lay Wen Jinliang, unconscious.

Xiao Wu met Jino's cold gaze, smiling confidently and indifferently: "Jino, are we not engaging in a futile struggle? You have to try it to know."

Wen Jinliang sat up without looking at me, merely coldly gazing at Meili and Jinuo: "Are you the master behind Xiao Qi? Are you the one who has been wanting to kill me?"

Meili was not skilled in physical combat; she clumsily dodged several attacks and began to silently chant something. As soon as her words fell, sharp ice shards flew up into the sky in an instant

"Meili." Kino, standing beside Meili, hurriedly pressed down on her shoulder, "Don't do this, calm down. Do not lose your composure in front of those despicable people."

Starshine!'' Gino gritted his teeth and looked at him

I moved my body a bit and found that I was extremely weak. Wen Jinliang and the others administered a muscle relaxant to me

One day, I asked Xiao Wu how she managed to escape from Jino at Crane's villa, and her mood fell: "It was that guy Crane who saved me, and now I owe him a huge favor!"

Ah! I looked at Wen Jinliang in astonishment

I gasped: "You are the second servant who serves the master alongside Gino!" Combined with what Meri once told me about my past life, I have already discerned the true identity of Starlight. No wonder he possesses such formidable magic.

Just as I was at a loss, a familiar sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. I hurriedly turned to look, and there stood Wen Jinliang at the door, looking at me with a cold expression

She smiled at me: "Xiao Qi, you truly love Wen Jinliang. Knowing that returning to save him would mean your own death, you still came back without hesitation. I am genuinely pleased; you are indeed my most satisfactory replica. This time, you will surely complete the task I have entrusted to you."

I looked at Xiao Wu and He, who were leaving, with confusion and asked, "What is going on with them? Is Xiao Wu avoiding He?"

Wen Jinliang, upon hearing my words, said softly: "If you had told me your true identity earlier, I would have been surprised, I would have found it hard to believe, but I would never have distanced myself from you or come to despise you"

Wen Jinliang looked up at the wish tags hanging high on the tree, then turned her gaze to me and asked with a smile, "Xiao Qi, what wish did you write on the tag?"

As I got up, Xingguang also stood up. He remained silent for a while before nodding to me and saying, "Alright"

There was once a person who comforted me so gently, but in an instant, that gentle person disappeared and will never return

Is Xiao Wu alright?

And Wen Jinliang also understood the entanglements of past and present lives through the explanations of Xingguang and Xiao Wu, so he decided to give up on seeking revenge against Meili and live happily with me

Is this person really the gentle Wen Jinliang who once treated me kindly? Why did he have to say such cruel words? I can hardly control the tears that are falling from my face in a frenzy

Yes. In the smile of the starlight lies profound loneliness and sorrow, and he does not deny my words

The starlight stood up, quietly listening to my words: "I will not stop you. However, this time, I will accompany you. " After a pause, he continued, "If I wanted to prevent you, I would not have told you about this matter just now. "

It should be waking up soon. Please wait a little longer

Little Seven! As soon as Little Five saw that I had woken up, she immediately hugged me and choked out, "You finally woke up."

"What do you mean a few hours! You have been missing for almost a week!" Xiao Wu said, striking my forehead forcefully.

Wen Jinliang's originally calm face finally showed a look of surprise upon seeing the ice blade summoned by Meili. He looked at me in disbelief and asked, "What on earth are you...?"

Meili paused for a moment and said: "Yes, at that time I did not tell her the true purpose, so she wholeheartedly regarded you as her master to protect. As a result, this silly girl fell in love with you... Although her actions exceeded my plans, the perfect performance we have today can be attributed to her completing the task quite well!"

A faint and enchanting song echoed in my ears, and as I slowly opened my eyes, I felt that this voice was very familiar

Starlight smiled faintly: "Gino, long time no see. It's a pity that this is not the time for reminiscing." After saying this, Starlight looked at me, "Xiao Qi, I will deal with Gino, you find a way to control Meili. We will take Wen Jinliang and escape from here together."

Seeing this, I could no longer contain the anxiety in my heart, and immediately walked up to the high platform, rushing to Wen Jinliang's side and shouting: "Wen Jinliang! Wen Jinliang!"

I also wrote your name, and I hope you live a life free of worries. Wen Jinliang held my hand tightly, and the smile in his eyes kept striking my heart

I looked at Wen Jinliang and said with a bright smile: "Let's go for a stroll on the street below. I just saw a lot of interesting things!"

Upon hearing my response, Wen Jinliang smashed the medicine bottle in his hand. He grabbed my arm tightly, his eyes filled with profound despair, and said: "Xiao Qi, do you really want to kill me like this?"

Xiao Wu and I made a decisive decision to first go find Wen Jinliang to inform him of the truth. Xiao Wu told me that the potion given by Jino had actually been replaced halfway through, and she stole it back for me to prove my innocence. As long as I take this bottle of potion to find Wen Jinliang, everything can be explained clearly

I have been waiting for several days

I admit it was because the Lord came to your side, but I never intended to kill you, I did not! Even if she wanted me to kill you, I did not! Wen Jinliang, believe me, believe me!" I finally broke down and cried out, the second time I lost my voice and wept bitterly in front of him

Wen Jinliang shook off my hand with a forceful motion, his face bearing a chilling coldness: "In order to regain my trust, you would go so far as to slander the master behind you. You must have put a lot of thought into this statement, and combined with the tears on your face, it truly evokes a sense of pity. " As he spoke, he swept the 'Ying' off the table, "But Xiao Qi, do you think I would still trust you?"

"Yes, we will grow old together." Wen Jinliang held me tightly.

The starlight gently pats my back, and it does not speak to comfort me... Perhaps at this moment, it also feels that silent consolation can better heal the pain in my heart

Upon hearing this, I looked at Wen Jinliang with emotion, wanting to say something, but Meili had already come to our side

Wen Jinliang, however, was unwilling to continue looking at me, let alone listen to me speak. He quickly left the room. Then, a cold-faced crane walked in and said: "Will you come with me on your own, or should I knock you out and take you with me?"

What on earth is going on? I stared blankly at Xiao Wu and the starlight in front of me

It seems you wish for me to knock you unconscious, very well. " He said this as he swiftly approached me. I could have easily resisted his attack, but in that moment I gave up, watching him raise his hand, and then I fell into a deep unconsciousness.

As for Xiao Wu and the crane, I believe that is probably another story. In their legend, Xiao Wu will eventually have a day when everything is made clear, but—there is still a long way to go!

In her past life, Meili fell in love at first sight with the handsome prince, pouring all her passion into pursuing him. However, the cold-hearted prince despised Meili, the witch, and after teasing her several times, he told her that if she offered her witch's heart to him, he would agree to marry her as his princess. Innocent Meili, overjoyed, handed her witch's heart to the prince, trusting him completely. Yet, as soon as she lost her powers, the prince immediately had her captured and burned alive as a monster. At that time, the servants Xingguang and Jinuo were out running errands, and by the time they returned, it was too late.

"It is mine," I answered truthfully. Denying it now is meaningless; Wen Jinliang must have already found out something.

After hearing Xiao Wu's cry, I ran desperately towards the school. I silently prayed in my heart that she could escape from Jinuo's grasp, at least to avoid any danger to her life

Upon witnessing this scene, I involuntarily trembled

Later, Xiao Wu went to investigate the mysterious person and discovered that it was actually Jino. Only then did she realize that everything was a play orchestrated by Jino and the master, and Xiao Wu felt that their purpose was far from simply breaking apart me and Wen Jinliang.

After crying heavily, my painful feelings finally eased a little. I reached out to wipe the tears from my face and hoarsely asked the starlight before me, "Starlight, who exactly are you? It was you who rescued me from my master before, right?" I am certain that during the week I disappeared, I was taken away by Jino and the others, but later I was saved by the starlight.

I reacted swiftly, pulling Wen Jinliang down from the high platform in an instant, and we rolled to the ground together to evade the icy blades

I strained to push the tears back from my eyes: "I understand!" I cannot let Xiao Wu down; I must live to see Wen Jinliang and explain everything to him.

Little Seven

"Wen Jinliang, hurry up and leave!" Seeing that Wen Jinliang remained motionless while I had already reached in front of him, I was almost in tears, and my hand gripping the dagger could not stop trembling.

With the last of my strength, I reached out and embraced Wen Jinliang: "Don't, don't cry... It is truly wonderful to have met you; there are no regrets in this life."

"Are you awake?" The starlight ceased its singing, and he crossed through the flowers to sit beside me, gently stroking my pale cheek with his cold hand. His voice was as gentle as before, "It’s all right now. Xiao Qi, don’t be afraid."

However, I finally understand why Wen Jinliang was so angry, and no wonder he didn't even give me a chance to explain after asking me those questions. Who told me to foolishly admit everything!

What on earth is going on? Just as I was about to delve deeper, the familiar sound of an argument reached my ears once again

Although Xiao Wu still hasn't told me everything, it no longer matters. ... In any case, I am very happy with Wen Jinliang now, and no one will come to tear us apart anymore ...

Hearing Wen Jinliang's somewhat petulant words, I truly felt both heartbroken and amused: "How could it be good? Didn't you say you wanted to have a bunch of children with me? If you die, who will have them with me?"

On the night before the end of the holiday, we visited a well-known temple. Inside the temple, there was a wish tree believed to be very spiritual. We received free wish slips from the monks at the temple, and then we turned our backs to each other to write down our heartfelt wishes. Once we finished writing, I held onto the wish slips of both myself and Wen Jinliang and skillfully climbed up the wish tree

"By the way, what was it that you wanted to tell me earlier?" I asked Xiao Wu

Starshine, could you tell me everything about you and your master? I want to know all there is to know about her past and present! What exactly does she wish to accomplish? I grasped Starshine's arm, and at this moment, all I wanted was to clarify everything.

I heard Wen Jinliang say this, and I hurriedly grabbed his sleeve: "Wen Jinliang, do not provoke the master! She will really kill you!"

Mei Li stared at Wen Jin Liang without blinking, not answering his question. She looked at Wen Jin Liang, her expression gradually becoming strange, and chuckled, "These eyes! Ah! It was these very eyes that deceived me... Ah, the detestable prince!"

With a cry of "Wow," I threw myself into the embrace of the starlight, unable to contain the grievances and pain in my heart any longer, and thus I wept loudly in his arms

Wen Jinliang turned around immediately upon hearing my voice. When he saw my body covered in wounds, there was a fleeting moment of pity in his eyes, but it quickly turned to coldness

"Xiao Qi, actually after you were injured and left, Wen Jinliang came out to look for you again. However, he encountered Jino who was going to find you, and Jino took him away," Xingguang said softly to me

Wen Jinliang saw that I looked as if I was about to cry, and finally could not bear it any longer, adjusting his cold demeanor. He looked at me, seemingly holding onto a final glimmer of hope, and asked: "Alright, I will trust you this once. So, Xiao Qi, you must tell me truthfully, is there another master behind you?"

After the matter in Meili was resolved, Wen Jinliang and I returned to our daily lives. On the day I woke up, we apologized to each other and decided to forget all the previous unpleasantness. As for the girl in the library, Wen Jinliang told me that she was just his cousin

Wen Jinliang held me tightly, looking at me with an expression of profound sadness, as if I were his irreplaceable treasure

I wrote your name, hoping that you will have a worry-free life. I do not intend to conceal what wish I made, so I replied with a smile, and then I asked Wen Jinliang, "So what did you write?"

The girl let out a soft "oh" and said nothing more

Just as Xiao Wu was about to speak, Wen Jinliang came down from the upper floor with He. Xiao Wu suddenly stood up from her chair and said, "Xiao Qi, I will tell you later, I have to go now!" With that, she left in a hurry.

At this moment, the pain in Xingguang's heart is no less than mine. However, I had already guessed some of what he said after I learned of Jino's feelings for Meili. For Jino, Meili's transformation is entirely due to that detestable prince, and as the reincarnation of the prince, Wen Jinliang would naturally be hated even more by him. No wonder Jino was able to so easily persuade his master Meili at that time

What? I was so startled that I stood up from the ground and shouted at the starlight, "Since you saw it all, why didn't you save Wen Jinliang at that time?"

So good

Wen Jinliang saw Mei Li becoming increasingly frantic and, feeling somewhat impatient, said: "Enough! Did you bring me here just to say these things? If you intend to kill me, then do it quickly and stop wasting time. But let me tell you, if I die, the Wen family will never let you go. You will live your life being hunted by the Wen family, worse than death!"

"Jinliang Gege, who is she?" The unfamiliar girl, who had been listening to our conversation, revealed an innocent smile and asked Wen Jinliang.

I suddenly looked up at Meili and said, "I won't replace—" but before I could finish my sentence, I realized that my body was completely out of my control, as if I were being slowly maneuvered by someone using threads.

I saw Wen Jinliang ignoring me, and in my anxiety, I reached out to grab his arm: "Wen Jinliang, please don't ignore me! I can explain everything clearly; many things are really not as you see them. I, like you, have been deceived. My master lied to me, saying she would spare you, but she did not. She sold my information to you, deceiving you into thinking I came to kill you. But I truly have no intention of harming you; ever since I came to your side, I have regarded you as a life-important object of protection... She sold my information to you, deceiving you into thinking I came to kill you. But I truly have no intention of harming you; ever since I came to your side, I have regarded you as a life-important object of protection..." As I spoke the last words, the tears I had held back for so long fell once again.

Starshine, I am going to save Wen Jinliang! Do not stop me! Even if I know I am going to my death, I must go! I took a deep breath, my expression a mix of sorrow and joy, "Wen Jinliang coming out to look for me shows that he has never truly let me go... I have long known that he is someone who speaks harshly but has a soft heart."

When Wen Jinliang heard me say this, the hope that had ignited in his eyes was completely extinguished. His gaze was so cold as he said, "Since the moment you met me, you have been deceiving me! You clearly know that I detest being deceived by others the most!" By the end of his words, an unquenchable fury ignited in his eyes

Wen Jinliang lowered his head to look at the book in his hands and said indifferently: "An inconsequential person"

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Qi, you two should not struggle in vain; just obediently come back with me." Jino looked at us with a cold smile, believing that any resistance on our part was utterly foolish

However, just as everyone was at a loss over our demise, the Heart of the Witch detached itself from the grief-stricken Wen Jinliang, splitting into two halves. One half merged into my body, reviving me, while the other returned to Meili's body, bringing her back to life. Subsequently, Kino took Meili and vanished. In the final memories of the starlight, Meili seemed to forget everything, no longer clinging to hatred; perhaps this was the best outcome for both her and Kino. As for me, I transformed into a human capable of aging and dying due to the Heart of the Witch, no longer needing to worry about my peculiarities preventing me from being with Wen Jinliang for eternity.

I staggered to my feet, walked to the place where the dagger had fallen, picked up the dagger that had previously attacked Mei Li, and then turned to walk towards Wen Jinliang, who was lying on the ground.

He spoke to the girl in a familiar and affectionate manner, as if they were quite close.

I rubbed my temples and asked him, "Did you take me away from Wen Jinliang's side?"

"Those bastards really locked you up!" Xiao Wu quickly came to my side, noticing my unusual state. "I have a universal antidote here; take it." After saying this, she took out a red pill and fed it to me.

"No! Wen Jinliang, I did not intend to kill you!" Upon hearing Wen Jinliang say this, I felt a chill run through my entire body

The starlight did not answer me; it merely gazed at me in silence

The two of them frantically searched for Meili's reincarnation and finally found her second life a hundred years ago. After Meili encountered them, she recalled her tragic past life and lived each day in unbearable pain. Finally, in the year when Wen Jinliang was born, Meili completely lost her sanity and former kindness, using the powers of the two to prepare for revenge against the reincarnation of the prince, Wen Jinliang. Starry did not want to witness Meili gradually descending into madness, so she fled from her side.

I turned my head to look, and indeed it was the starlight I had not seen for a long time. He seemed to have lost some weight, and there was an unmistakable look of weariness on his face

At that time, Wen Jinliang was frantically searching for me, but on the third day, he suddenly stopped looking for me. Xiao Wu found it strange and secretly came to the villa to investigate, only to discover that Wen Jinliang had learned from a mysterious person that I was an assassin sent by someone else. Of course, his first reaction was disbelief, but soon the other party provided detailed information about my communication with the master. Subsequently, Wen Jinliang investigated the identity of the master and found that the master was the one who had attempted to assassinate him countless times before. Naturally, his first reaction was disbelief, but soon the other party provided detailed information about my communication with the master. After that, Wen Jinliang investigated the identity of the master and discovered that the master was the one who had attempted to assassinate him countless times before. Immediately, the situation spiraled out of control. No wonder he could not believe that I was not there to kill him.

Why? I asked, grasping the arm of the starlight

Xiao Wu and I attacked him from both sides, employing intricate techniques; however, Keno swiftly dodged and firmly countered our moves. Upon seeing this, Xiao Wu gave me a knowing glance, and I immediately understood and altered my technique.

The expression of joy on my face suddenly froze, as if I had come to an understanding of something

This is not poison! I was startled and immediately said to Wen Jinliang, "This is a magical potion, specifically designed to obtain the witch's heart within you; it poses no harm to your body at all"

I trembled slightly, biting my lip tightly: "It is ... ... "

Hmm! I replied, preparing to take action against Meili, who had already gotten up from the ground. However, I certainly could not kill her, after all, she is my important master; I only wanted to knock her out

Thus, we launched another attack on Gino. Xiao Wu's moves were evidently much more ruthless than before, each strike aimed directly at the vital points. Under her fierce assault, Gino finally showed a hint of distress, and Xiao Wu seized the opportunity to shout: "Let's go!"

"Otherwise? How do you think Wen Jinliang suddenly learned your true identity?" Xiao Wu looked at me with disappointment.

I embraced Wen Jinliang again and whispered, "This time we can finally grow old together."

After Xiao Wu finished speaking, we no longer engaged in idle chatter with Jinuo and directly called him over

In the final moment before losing consciousness, I seemed to hear the shouts of He and Xiao Wu

I continued to answer truthfully, feeling a tightening in my heart

I was startled by my uncontrollable actions and gasped in shock, shouting in panic to Wen Jinliang: "Wen Jinliang, you must leave quickly! My body is out of control! Hurry!" Meanwhile, the starlight nearby was hindered by Jino, leaving no way to assist me.

Not only that, she also exaggerated the facts. If the information had come from someone else, it might have been acceptable, but it was her! She holds a vast amount of our data, which is why Wen Jinliang trusts the information she provides so much that he is unwilling to listen to even a word of your explanation. Xiao Wu was so furious that he almost wanted to immediately tear apart the group of his master.

Wen Jinliang still ignored me, as he stubbornly asked Mei Li: "Isn't Xiao Qi the one you sent to kill me?"

Wen Jinliang furrowed his brow as he listened to Mei Li's words. Although he did not quite understand what Mei Li was saying, he still keenly grasped a few key points. "Prince? I see. Have you mistaken me for someone else? Listen here, I, Wen Jinliang, am not a substitute for you to use at will!"

After hearing all these things, I felt a lingering unrest in my heart. It was not until Wen Jinliang appeared before me, embraced me, and spoke with a hint of choked emotion: "Xiao Qi, you have finally awakened."

However, I had only left Wen Jinliang for a few hours, how could it be... I truly find it difficult to understand how my master and the others managed to make Wen Jinliang believe all of this in such a short time.

"Xiao Qi, are you awake?" A familiar gentle voice came from beside me

Hearing my voice, Wen Jinliang slowly opened his eyes. He frowned, appearing quite uncomfortable. After a moment of daze, he finally noticed that the person in front of him was me, and his eyes brightened for an instant as he called out: "Xiao Qi ... ..." However, soon after, the light in his eyes faded away again

In order to completely let go of her feelings, Meili from back then separated her kind side and entrusted it to Starlight for protection. One year, Starlight returned to the cave after escaping from her, and then he saw me

The starlight must have exerted great effort to take me away from Wen Jinliang, but now it so easily allows me to leave, which truly leaves me perplexed about its intentions. However, as long as it can send me back to Wen Jinliang's side now, I can slowly inquire about other matters when the opportunity arises.

The starlight moved its lips, yet chose to respond to my confusion with silence

I huddled in the corner, pondering why, in just a few short hours, things had turned out this way. Wen Jinliang knew that I was sent by someone else and was aware of the master's intent to kill him. However, his disappointment in me was not merely because I deceived him; it seemed as though my very existence was solely to bring about his death, which filled him with profound despair and anger. Yet, I never harbored such intentions. Where exactly did the misunderstanding arise that led Wen Jinliang to feel this way?

Yet, I never harbored such intentions. Where exactly did the misunderstanding arise that led Wen Jinliang to feel this way?

Wen Jinliang took me on a trip to Japan, stating that this season is the most suitable for viewing cherry blossoms. I followed him as we explored all the cherry blossom streets in Japan, as if we were trying to see a lifetime's worth of beautiful scenery.

Wen Jinliang glanced at me and said lightly, "If I die, your task can come to an end. Isn't that just perfect?"

I looked at Wen Jinliang in surprise, just as I was about to explain to him the reason for my disappearance over the past few hours

My master is not human; she was once a very powerful witch, and I... am a replica created by her with incredible power. I quietly looked at Wen Jinliang and finally revealed the truth that I had concealed for so long, saying, "I have always wanted to tell you my true identity, but I was so afraid. I was so afraid that once you knew I was not human, you would distance yourself from me and despise me... I have always wanted to tell you my true identity, but I was so afraid. I was so afraid that once you knew I was not human, you would distance yourself from me and despise me... Therefore, I have been unwilling to tell you the real situation... But if I had been able to tell you this truth earlier, wouldn't we have avoided reaching this point now?"

Xiao Qi, the one who hates the prince even more than Mei Li is Jino. So when he learned that Wen Jinliang had fallen in love with you, he told Mei Li not to kill you just yet. Then he deliberately told you that he was unwilling for Mei Li to continue her revenge, but in reality, he only wanted to use you, so that Wen Jinliang could also experience the taste of being deceived and betrayed by a loved one, and then kill him when he was in utter pain. When he gave you the potion, you had already fallen into their trap. The expression on Xing Guang's face was one of deep sorrow, and his tone sounded so pained, "Xiao Qi, although I have no right to say this, please forgive their cruelty and malice. They were once gentle people too!"

Wen Jinliang remained silent after hearing what I said, pursing his lips. However, I could sense that his resistance towards me had diminished.

"Wen Jinliang, do you trust me? I have no intention of harming you; you are my beloved! How could I possibly want to kill my lover..." I grasped Wen Jinliang's arm, barely able to contain the tears that threatened to spill from my eyes.

I slowly opened my eyes and found Xiao Wu, who looked excited, standing in front of me, along with Xing Guang, who wore a calm expression
