The world doesn't need succubus to save

Chapter 539 The Man Trapped in the Past
It’s okay.

The stargazer returned the choice to Ning Feng.

...Now, are you still in doubt?

"Alice, I really am me."

Although this sentence is very weird, Ning Feng believes that she can understand it.

"I sort of remembered everything from the past."

"Everything about the Dark Ages, you who were still in the crystal at that time, the growing Prophet... I remember all those things."

After hearing her own name, Alice's light-colored eyes moved slightly:
"Alice, it's been a long time since I've been called that by someone... It's been a long time."

"You said you've remembered everything?"

She stared deeply at Ning Feng, questioning Ning Feng's soul with her calm eyes.

"Do you still remember the oath you once made?"

"……Remember."

Straightening his back, Ning Feng looked at the stargazer opposite him.

"I promised them I would let them live."

"I promised that I would lead in front of them, and there would be only me in front of them."

"I promised you..."

Taking a deep breath, Ning Feng said the oath he had made most carefully.

"I will definitely be back."

Dedicated to the dead, the last oath I made.

It was also him, the only one who didn't intend to fulfill the oath.

For them, and for her, the Prophet at that time chose to sacrifice himself to pollute the Lord of Light, wanting to gain a chance to breathe.

Judging from the results, Ning Feng succeeded, making the gods sleep for a whole thousand years.

But from another perspective, he also failed.

He missed the appointment, leaving Alice alone to wait for his return for a whole millennium.

To the world, he is a hero.

But to a woman who's waiting, he's the worst liar.

"You haven't forgotten."

"No."

The breath fluctuated for a while, and finally returned to calm, Alice nodded:
"Then you haven't had this incident for so many years, do you have anything to explain?"

"No."

Ning Feng didn't intend to explain, for the current situation, any explanation is pale.

Seemingly surprised by Ning Feng's calmness, Alice raised her eyebrows and leaned back.

"Then you still dare to come to see me now?"

"........."

Shaking his head, Ning Feng still insisted on his decision.

The space fell into silence again, Alice narrowed her eyes, and the aura on her body began to become dangerous.

"I will ask you one last time, Master Prophet... This is the last chance."

Leaning forward, the stargazer's eyes lit up, staring closely at the prophet, and asked word by word:

"Do you really have nothing to explain about these?"

This is an ultimatum.

"No."

"I don't have anything to explain."

In the unspeakable silence, Ning Feng never lowered his head, and kept looking into Alice's eyes.

"The mistake has already been made. I am the one who missed the appointment. I should bear everything."

After squinting her eyes for a long time, Alice shook her head in disappointment and sighed:
"Take everything... heh."

Closing her eyes, Alice seemed to not want to see the disgusting oath-breaker in front of her again, and seemed to be driving him away with actions.

Just when Ning Feng was about to get up and leave to let her calm down for a while, Alice suddenly opened her eyes.

"Until that moment just now, I didn't feel that you really haven't changed anything."

"I……"

She looked at Ning Feng and said abruptly:
"You didn't break your oath, did you?"

! ! ?

"……What did you say?"

His eyes gradually widened, Ning Feng did not expect that Alice would discover something he had deliberately not mentioned all along.

From the very beginning, Ning Feng's oath to Alice had already doomed him to leave a way out for himself.

[I will definitely come back. 】

"After all, you only said that you would come back, but you didn't say when you would come back."

This oath does not specify a time limit!

Alice felt amused watching Ning Feng, who had been keeping calm all this time, suddenly lost his composure, sneered and shook his head:

"Even cheating on a little girl, did you have a conscience back then?"

Me, you, that...

His eyebrows kept rising, and Ning Feng was tongue-tied for a long time, but he didn't say a word in succession.

little girl?
You back then?

"........."

On such details, it is rational to keep silent.

I don't know if it was Ning Feng's illusion, but he felt that the painting style of the whole thing suddenly started to go wrong.

Shouldn't you be angry?

After admiring Ning Feng's expression proudly for a while, Alice joked with ease:

"Very surprised?"

"You don't really think that I've never thought about it all these years, do you? In your heart, I'm just a bitter woman who can only blame herself?"

laugh.

"Take back your awkward self-esteem that makes people wonder what to say, Lord Savior."

Ning Feng:?
???

"The way you look now really makes people look angry."

"It's exactly the same as it was 1000 years ago!"

The stargazer's temperament changed quickly, returning to Alice's style that Ning Feng was familiar with.

She curled her lips, and cast a disgusted look at Ning Feng:
"You don't have to take all the responsibility on yourself."

Facing the man who has always chosen to bear everything alone.

she says:

"Do you feel hurt right now? Feel your ego as a prophet being challenged? Is it hard not to take it all on your own?"

Ha ha.

Sneering, she fiddled with her long hair and said easily:

"You are not as important as you think, and the world still works the same without you."

"It's true that I chose to be a stargazer in large part because of you, but not just because of you."

With a restrained smile, Alice looked at Ning Feng seriously:

"I made the choice by my own will, do you understand?"

"This choice really made me suffer for a long time. I have always experienced the so-called loneliness in the world, and I have thought about regretting it."

"but!"

thump.

Alice slapped hard on the table, and it seemed to slap Ning Feng's heart heavily.

"I'm not that vulnerable."

"I don't need you to feel sorry for me."

Getting up from the chair, Alice strode to Ning Feng's side, and then pulled him up.

"Stop thinking of yourself as a poor self-sacrificing hero in a tragedy."

"I don't need you to save me, you—save yourself."

Looking at the face so close at hand, and her sullen anger, Ning Feng, who was still a little confused, suddenly laughed.

Hahahaha...

That's right.

It turned out that it was not others who locked myself in the past.

It's me.

"Sorry for making you wait so long."

Hearing this, Alice also smiled.

"That's not the thing to say now."

Ah, yes.

他 说:

"I am back."

she says:

"Well, welcome back."

She laughed, tears streaming down her face.
