The group's favorite little Fubao has become the most arrogant kid in the whole imperial city

Chapter 86 Because You Are Here
Xihe woke up again in a warm embrace. Her body was no different from before she fell into a coma, except that there was a little more moisture on her cheeks.

It seems... to be tears.

"Little brother, are you...crying?" A warm inner force appeared in Xihe's body, nourishing the lifeblood around him.

She looked at Xiao Mingxuan's slightly pale face, full of worry.

Xiao Mingxuan's lips were dry, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely depressed, but his arms were very strong, holding Xihe tightly, as if he was afraid that the little girl would disappear if he was not careful.

"You finally woke up." Xiao Mingxuan startled everyone when he spoke. His voice was hoarse, as if he was in his seventies or eighties. "Does your body still hurt?"

Xihe shook his head and moved closer to the other person's arms. "Little brother, did you... pass your inner strength to me?"

That internal force was so familiar that Xihe was able to identify its owner at the first sight.

Xiao Mingxuan forced a smile. He was a little tired. He had lost most of his internal strength and his body was very weak. "It's okay. I'll be fine after a few days of rest after I get out."

Xihe suddenly fell into coma, and Xiao Mingxuan didn't know how to help her clear the spiritual power, so he could only clumsily use his internal energy to warm Xihe's meridians.

As long as there is breath, there is hope of survival.

Xihe's two small hands held one of Xiao Mingxuan's hands. After just a few breaths, Xiao Mingxuan felt a little more comfortable all over.

After realizing what Xihe was doing, Xiao Mingxuan struggled to break free, "Xiao Xier, don't do anything stupid, your spiritual power has just subsided."

Xiao Mingxuan was afraid that the other party's spiritual power would erupt again. He never wanted to experience that kind of pain of dying struggle again.

"Brother, this is not spiritual power." Xihe has regained his lively appearance, but his voice has not recovered yet and is very hoarse. "This is the power of the sacred tree. I am using the power of Uncle Sacred Tree."

If Xihe, a mortal, wanted to use spiritual power, he had to rely on the sacred tree.

The sacred tree is a thousand-year-old tree. Its spiritual power is gentle and pure and cannot hurt anyone at all.

"What about your spiritual power?" Xiao Mingxuan asked worriedly.

"It disappeared." The little girl pursed her lips, her face full of confusion.

"Disappeared?" Xiao Mingxuan was slightly stunned and asked suspiciously.

Xihe nodded, held Xiao Mingxuan's hands again, and sent the power of the sacred tree into his body little by little. He said in a baby voice: "I don't know what happened. The spiritual energy had completely disappeared since I came here, but just now I was attacked by the poisonous fragrance outside, and my body couldn't stand it. The moment before I was completely poisoned, the spiritual power suddenly appeared to protect my heart. It was still there before I fainted, but when I woke up just now, I found that it had disappeared. I don't know why?"

If it weren't for the lingering pain all over his body, Xihe would have thought it was just an illusion.

"Come here?" Xiao Mingxuan grasped the key point sharply, "Why come here? Where did you originally belong?"

Xihe paused, then let go of the tension in his heart and waved his hand helplessly, "Little brother, let me tell you about my past, a past that is unknown to the public."

He was born in the wilderness, ascended to the throne of God, experienced a great war, and finally died.

Xihe told Xiao Mingxuan everything.

"So... you are God?" Xiao Mingxuan asked.

Xihe shrugged, "To be precise, I was before. Now I am just a mortal body with nothing but the mustard seed space."

"So this is the secret you have been unwilling to tell me." In an instant, all the strange things happening to Xihe were explained.

"Because it's unreasonable." After revealing the long-hidden secret, Xihe felt a little more relieved, but more worried about the way of heaven. "It's already strange that I can survive, and I can also transcend this world."

She always felt vaguely that she shouldn't live in this world, as if it was the result of forced disobedience.

"What's so strange about being alive?" Xiao Mingxuan didn't understand the laws of heaven and earth, "Maybe it's reincarnation?"

Xihe pouted and shook her head, "Little brother, gods don't have reincarnation. Once annihilated, they will completely disappear from the world without a trace."

The appearance of gods is more like a fast-selling product. After completing the mission and protecting a certain era, they retire and leave only a legend in the history books. "The body is not mine, but the soul is mine." Xihe pondered for a while and said, "Maybe it is rebirth, which is what you call reincarnation."

"Rebirth?" Xiao Mingxuan listened for a long time and came to the conclusion with difficulty, "So... you are not the original Sixth Princess?"

"Yes." Since the story had already been told, Xihe simply confessed everything, "I came here halfway. The original Sixth Princess has... died."

Xiao Mingxuan calculated the time and tentatively expressed his guess, "Was it the time in the cold palace?"

From then on, the usually quiet Sixth Princess suddenly gained the emperor's favor and became a completely different person from the timid and cowardly person before.

Xihe nodded, "Yes, the Sixth Princess's mother beat her... to death, so I came here."

Xiao Mingxuan remained silent, his expression unclear, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Xihe couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and asked sympathetically: "Little brother, you... don't want the Sixth Princess from the past, do you?"

"Ah?" Xiao Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "I haven't even seen her, why would I want her?"

He was indeed checking the time just now, after all, it was those eyes that attracted him in the first place.

But then I thought, what is there to be entangled about?

Perhaps the pair of clear eyes when they first met did attract him, but now the only person he can sacrifice his life to protect is the person in front of him.

If it wasn't the same person, he would choose her.

If it's the same person, I'd still choose her.

But... fortunately, it was always her from beginning to end.

"Xiao Xi'er, will you... go back in the future?"

In the face of God, humans are always powerless.

There are too many uncertainties, and Xiao Mingxuan doesn't know when Xihe will disappear again.

Will I wake up one day and find that the soul of this body has become a different person?

"No." The little girl grinned at Xiao Mingxuan, "My original body has been reduced to ashes. I don't have a body to carry me back. An ordinary person's body cannot carry my soul."

The Sixth Princess' body was an accident, but there are not so many coincidences in the world.

Then he added: "And I don't want to go back now."

"Why?" Xiao Mingxuan asked, "Everyone wants to become a god and immortal and gain eternal life, why are you unwilling?"

"Eternal life?" The little girl opened her red lips and slowly uttered these two words, "Eternal life is not a good thing. It is a responsibility and a... curse."

Mortals pursue immortality, while gods yearn for true love in the world.

In the end, it's just pursuing something that can't be obtained.

Xihe happens to be one of this kind of people.

【Why not? 】

Xihe leaned on Xiao Mingxuan's shoulder and laughed slowly, "Because... you are here."

I long for someone to love me as if breathing, to achieve eternity in an instant, and to make flowers of hope bloom in the barren land.

When the anticipation comes to reality, who wouldn’t rush to it?

Oh, this! That unexpected character wasn’t mentioned at all. I promise he’ll appear in the next chapter!
