"Please stop it, okay?"

Kurumi held his hand and pleaded with him.

She knew she couldn't stop Li Xiao, so she could only use this method to persuade him to give up.

"Ah~" Li Xiao sighed, "I just said I would give you a chance. Do you know what it is?"

".....What is it?"

In fact, Hu Tao already had a premonition in her heart.

"I can help you revive your relatives. I heard from others that you were raised by your grandfather, right? Don't you want to see him again?"

"Grandpa..." Hu Tao's eyes trembled as she recalled the time she spent with her grandpa.

Those warm and happy days can now only be recreated in dreams.

She remembered her grandfather’s kind smile, remembered him teaching her how to dig holes and bury people, and remembered him telling her the ancient stories of Liyue.

But now, all of this has become a distant memory, leaving only endless longing and regret.

If possible, she really wanted to see him again.

But...

Walnut shook her head. Although she felt a little pain in her heart, she still said, "No! If grandpa knew about this, he would not agree to resurrect me!"

But Li Xiao smiled when he heard this. He stood up, patted her on the shoulder, and said calmly: "It's his business if he disagrees, but it's your business if you want to."

Walnut suddenly fell silent.

The conflict between her determination and her family affection made her struggle. She was the head of the Wangsheng Hall, but she was also her grandfather's granddaughter!

"Li Xiao, I understand your good intentions, but I cannot accept it." Hu Tao's voice was trembling, but her eyes were firm. "I cannot let my own selfish desires override life and death. If I do that, I will lose many more important things."

Li Xiao felt a little emotional when he heard her words.

Walnut's persistence and sense of responsibility made him like Walnut even more, but at the same time it also made him feel a little troubled.

He worried that if she was given the chance to live forever in the future, she would refuse it for the same reason.

It looked like he needed to find a way to respect Kurumi's wishes while ensuring that their relationship remained intact.

But if she really didn't want to, he would have to force her. After all, he didn't want to watch Walnut grow old in many years.

"Then think about it carefully. I will always keep this opportunity for you. You can come to me anytime when you have figured it out."

Finally, Li Xiao said this.

Chapter 184: The Beginning of Resurrection and the End

The next day, Li Xiao was leisurely basking in the sun in the courtyard of the Wangsheng Hall. Suddenly, a steady voice sounded in his ears.

"Please come to Ozang Mountain for a gathering."

Hearing that it was Zhongli's voice, Li Xiao did not hesitate and immediately rushed to Aozang Mountain.

When we got there, we found that there was already a large group of people waiting there.

Xiao, the three immortals Jue Yunjian, Grandma Ping, Ganyu, Shen He, Yan Fei, all these immortals and their disciples are present.

They were all standing, except Zhongli, who was sitting at a stone table. He took out a set of tea set from somewhere and was drinking tea leisurely.

Seeing him coming, everyone present focused their eyes on him.

"Wow! There are so many people!"

Li Xiao smiled and waved to greet these immortals.

"Are you the new Wind God, Li Xiao?"

A large bird with green feathers on its head stared at him unfriendlyly and spoke.

Li Xiao didn't pay attention to her tone and replied politely: "Yes, I am Li Xiao, this should be Master Liuyunjiefeng, right?"

"Humph! It's you, the guy who not only covets the beauty of our master and disciple, but also ruins the reputation of the Emperor?"

Liu Yun snorted coldly, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Li Xiao.

Li Xiao was a little confused. "I admit that I coveted beauty, but when did I slander Zhongli's reputation?"

Hearing his words, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng said angrily: "You still dare to quibble?! We all know what you did during the invitation ceremony! You spread rumors that the Emperor was your child and killed his father. How can you explain this?"

The most infuriating thing was that she believed it at first, and wondered in her heart why the Emperor had to hide the fact that he had a child from them.

If Zhongli had not appeared today and she had realized that Zhongli was the Emperor, she would have really been deceived by Li Xiao.

Li Xiao looked at Zhongli, "You didn't explain to them?"

Zhongli said calmly, "I have a contract with you and cannot discuss this matter."

Besides, Li Xiao had already ruined his reputation, so Liu Yun was not wrong.

Li Xiao explained to Liu Yun: "This matter has been agreed by Zhongli, you can't blame me."

Liuyun wanted to say something to him, but Grandma Ping suddenly said, "Okay, Liuyun, we are not here for these things today."

At this time, she was still in the form of an old woman. She looked at Li Xiao with her reading glasses and said, "Li Xiao, right? Do you still remember me?"

Li Xiao said a little embarrassedly: "Um...of course I remember."

He had once secretly watched Grandma Ping taking a bath, so he naturally felt a little guilty at this time.

Grandma Ping smiled faintly and said, "Just remember it. Let me ask you, you said you can revive the dead, is this true?"

Li Xiao nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course it is true. I won't lie about this kind of thing."

When Grandma Ping heard this answer, she lowered her head and thought for a while, then said, "Can we change the conditions? You know, this kind of thing still requires mutual consent, right?"

"What you said seems to make sense, but I refuse."

Li Xiao smiled and shook his head.

"Is that so..." Grandma Ping was not surprised by this answer. Since Li Xiao could make such a request, she would definitely not give up easily.

"Then can you revive one person first and give us a demonstration, so that we can have a better idea."

This was the result of their discussion all night yesterday. They had to confirm it first before paying the price.

Although for them, after so many years of seclusion, they were extremely uncomfortable with suddenly having a man, they were all willing to compromise in order to see their old friends.

"No problem, but you know the price."

"Hmph! I'll do it this time!"

Master Liuyun walked in front of Li Xiao with elegant crane steps and head held high, his eyes revealing disdain.

She didn't believe that Li Xiao would do anything to her in crane form. At worst, she would just not transform into a human form in the future.

"You can do whatever you want to me, but you are not allowed to have any ideas about my two disciples!"

"Oh? But then you don't have enough people, right?"

Li Xiao was a little confused. Wasn't it agreed to be a one-for-one exchange? Could it be that even the characters who had appeared in the game could not be resurrected?

Liu Yunniao raised his head and said confidently: "I'm in good health, I can take on three people by myself!"

"Master Liuyun!" Gan Yu hurried over, looked at her helplessly, and then apologized to Li Xiao: "Sorry, Li Xiao, let's do what you and Master Dijun have agreed on. But Shen He is still young, she has nothing to do with this matter, so she won't participate."

Li Xiao's gaze turned to the tree in the distance, where the taciturn Shen He was standing.

The long silver hair, the delicate face, the cool temperament, the outfit that was not revealing but very stylish, and the red thread wrapped around her body.

To be honest, Shen He really wanted to poke his XP, and he definitely didn't want to let it go.

"What if I can solve Shen He's fate problem?" He put forward a new condition.

"Are you serious?!" Master Liuyun exclaimed.

She had been worrying about her disciple's fate for a long time, and even the Emperor had said that there was nothing he could do.

After all, Shen He is not an immortal, and she will have to return to mortal life one day. However, her emotions are locked by the red rope, which makes Liu Yun worry whether she can adapt to such a life.

"Why would I lie to you? If you agree, I will solve it for you right away."

The so-called fate is, after all, just the law of the operation of nature. Anyone named Madoka or Homura can easily change this law.

"This...Shen He, what do you think?" Liu Yun hesitated for a moment and turned to ask Shen He for his opinion.

Shen He lowered his eyes slightly, shook his head, and said softly: "I have no opinion, I will listen to you, Master."

True Lord Liuyun tilted his head, slightly opening his beak, as if weighing the pros and cons.

Finally, she said, "It's fine, but you can't force Shen He to do something he doesn't want to do."

To be honest, she didn't want Shen He to fall into the big mud pit of Li Xiao, but she didn't want Shen He to live a life without joy or worries and be unable to experience the beauty of this world.

Li Xiao waved to Shen He, "Okay, Shen He, come here, I will help you solve your fate problem first."

Liu Yun said a little worriedly: "Don't you need to prepare anything else?"

But Li Xiao looked relaxed and confident, "No, it will be fine soon."

"Oh well....."

Liu Yun nodded worriedly, thinking secretly in her heart that if something went wrong later, she would take immediate measures to ensure Shen He's safety.

Seeing that Master Liuyun agreed, Shen He walked towards Li Xiao. The two stood face to face and stared at each other.

"Give me your hand." Li Xiao stretched out his hand to her with a gentle look in his eyes.

Shen He's expression did not change at all, and he obediently placed his hand in Li Xiao's palm.

Feeling the soft touch of Shen He's hand, Li Xiao shouted in his heart:

"Humura, help me!"

He still remembered what Madoka had said before, so he called Homura directly.

"I see."

Homura's answer was brief and powerful, but reassuring. She was a man of few words, but quick to act.

Time suddenly froze at this moment, and the whole world fell into silence. Purple-black flames spread out from Li Xiao's body and swept straight into the sky.

Unlike Madoka's gentle and tolerant power, Homura's power appears to be more overbearing and brutal.

Li Xiao could even feel that this force was so powerful that it made the whole world tremble, as if in front of it, everything seemed small and fragile.

As the purple-black flames spread, the sky began to distort and deform, and several stars gradually appeared. Li Xiao recognized that it was Shen He's constellation - Sorrowful Constellation.

The flames climbed up, completely melted Shen He's constellation, and then recast it.

In just a moment, the whole process was completed.

"It's ready."

After Xiao Yan finished saying this, the purple-black flames in the sky quickly receded and disappeared like a tide. She also fell silent again, waiting for Li Xiao's next call.

When time started flowing again, Shen He suddenly felt that the world around him had changed.

Shen He's emotions were once like glaciers in winter, blocked by a thick layer of ice and snow, isolating from the outside temperature and colors.

Deep in her heart, the source of emotion seemed to have dried up long ago, and she lost the ability to perceive the world around her.

Whether it is laughter or tears, they are like distant legends to her, which cannot be reached or felt.

Like an exquisite but silent painting, beautiful but silent, unable to express the true feelings in one's heart.

Her emotional world is tightly bound by an invisible red rope, isolating her from the joys and sorrows of the world. She can only watch from afar but cannot integrate into it.

Her days were like one long dream without ups and downs, no highs and no lows, so plain that one almost forgot the passage of time.

She has been living according to Liu Yun's instructions for so many years. Logically, she should have been used to it.

However, at that moment, everything changed.

She began to notice the subtle beauty around her. Every sway of the leaves and every jump of the sunlight made her heart tremble.

Her emotions, like a seedling breaking through the soil, began to grow slowly but steadily.

Joy, sadness, surprise, and emotion, these once unfamiliar emotions, now took root and grew in her heart.
