The moonlight was hazy, tinting the lantern-decorated streets with a touch of softness, yet the streets remained bustling with people, the excitement undiminished.
The three sisters stood quietly by the roadside, as if isolated from the surrounding clamor.
Feeling the gazes cast by the two, a faint frost appeared in Mo Xi's black eyes, and the originally pale blue tips of her hair deepened in color without her realizing it.
"Perhaps the road ahead is filled with thorns and difficulties, but I will never give up easily.
No matter what the future holds, I want to rely on my own efforts to step toward the right path."
As a Reborn One, in a certain sense, she believed in fate.
But in this life...
Mo Xi had met her biological parents, her master Old Meng... and Acheron.
By a stroke of luck, she had also obtained the ability to change fate.
Then, in this life, she would surely go all out to change her own destiny.
Mo Xin stood dazed on the spot, her expression somewhat trance-like; her sister's cold yet powerful words fell into her ears without missing a single syllable.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that her usually cold and exceptionally strict sister was simply cool as hell!
Just then, the other person suddenly looked at her with a deep gaze. Mo Xin's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and she subconsciously held her breath.
She watched unblinkingly as her sister slowly raised her right hand—her fingers long and powerful—and then pressed her thumb against her index finger, as if brewing something.
Thump!!!
"Ouch?!!"
"Sister, what are you doing!"
Mo Xin clutched her aching forehead and glared piteously at her sister. The admiration that had just filled her heart vanished instantly, and she muttered to herself: Humph, not cool at all anymore!
Mo Xin (>⤙<): 'But then again, I've clearly transcended humanity, so why does it still hurt so much! Is this bloodline suppression?!'
Mo Xi looked at her quirky little sister, feeling somewhat amused for a moment.
The question her sister suddenly threw at her was indeed unexpected, but it was precisely this sudden question that made her already firm Heart even clearer.
Although she didn't understand why her sister asked, as an older sister, if she couldn't protect her younger sister, then what would be the point of her cultivating immortality?
Thinking this, she raised her delicate hand and slowly placed it on her sister's head, her fingertips gently stroking the soft hair. A faint smile unconsciously spread across the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were filled with an indelible tenderness.
Mo Xi (๑ᗜ ‿ ᗜ๑): "Silly sister, why are you suddenly curious about such metaphysical matters today? Acting like a little adult."
Mo Xin slapped her sister's hand away in dissatisfaction, pouting and grumbling: "Where am I little! Aren't you only one year older than me!"
Mo Xi didn't argue, but simply reached out her hand again.
"There aren't that many reasons. Regardless of what fate is, regardless of whether the ending is good or bad, I simply do it because I want to.
In the future, you should just go to school, make more friends, and live every day happily; that's enough. As for the rest, your big sister is here."
Seeing her sister persistently reaching out, Mo Xin simply gave up resisting, her cheeks flushing slightly.
"Hmph, your sister is also exceptionally talented, there's no need for you to worry!
If you ask me, you might as well just lie flat in the future, or just let me be the big sister, and I'll carry you then!"
Hearing this, Mo Xi just smiled and didn't argue. "You're right, then I'll look forward to such a day in the next life."
"Of course... wait? Are you mocking me?"
"Pfft... no, you've misunderstood."
"No, you definitely are, you stinky sister!!!"
...
After hearing her sister's answer, Mo Xin felt her mind instantly become much clearer.
As a modern college student, Mo Xin's psychological resilience was also quite remarkable.
Instead of internalizing stress, it's better to strike out at others.
It just so happened that her sister's thoughts coincided perfectly with her own.
Furthermore, there is an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom: All fear stems from insufficient firepower.
As the female protagonist, others might not know, but could she possibly not know!
Master Yunli, Miss Robin, Acheron, and... March 7th.
Four Otherworlders.
Although she hadn't witnessed the skills of Acheron and Robin, they must surely be extraordinary individuals with unique talents.
What does this mean?
It means she has absolutely nothing to fear!
Just a tiny little prophecy?
Heh!
Mo Xin ঌ( ˘▽˘ )໒: 'As the saying goes, my fate is mine to command, not heaven's! I will decide the ending of the story!'
And so, Mo Xin naturally became overconfident, feeling delighted and thinking she was simply a little genius.
Of course, in the end, Mo Xin didn't actually know Liu Chengfeng's true capabilities, nor had she witnessed his strength with her own eyes; she was entirely intoxicated by a surge of blind confidence.
If she were to know the true weight of this so-called prophecy, she would likely have been scared out of her wits and immediately packed up her family's things to run away.
Mo Xi quietly watched her sister who had received an answer, seeing her first show an incredibly clear expression, and then suddenly start smirking, looking just like a cat that had swallowed a canary.
Just then, Mo Xi's heart stirred for no reason, and she wondered if she was seeing things—at the moment Mo Xin's eyes suddenly became clear, an extremely weak yet non-negligible aura seemed to faintly emerge around her body, so fast it seemed like an illusion, fleeting in an instant.
Mo Xi blinked, assumed she had seen wrong, and didn't take it to heart anymore.
It wasn't until her sister finally withdrew her hand that Mo Xin turned her head away, pretending to be annoyed.
As if suddenly thinking of something, Mo Xin's eyes lit up, and she abruptly turned to look at Acheron, who had been listening silently, a cunning smile playing on her lips.
Since she had already asked her sister, she might as well ask this person's opinion while she was at it.
"Sister Acheron, what about you? What do you think?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Mo Xi also cast her gaze over, her eyes carrying a hint of expectation.
At this moment, her thoughts were surprisingly consistent with her sister's; both were anticipating Acheron's answer, even their breathing unconsciously becoming lighter.
Feeling the gazes from the two sisters, Acheron naturally understood their thoughts.
She slowly lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow beneath them, one hand on her hip, not answering the question directly.
"Even if the ending is already destined, it does not matter; there are too many things humans cannot change.
But before that, on the road toward the ending, there are also many things humans can do.
And the [ending]... will thus reveal a completely different meaning."
After the words fell, the two sisters remained silent for a long time.
Mo Xi's eyes flickered, and her fingertips curled slightly, as if remembering the conversation when she first met Acheron; the scene was still vivid in her mind.
Mo Xin's mouth hung slightly open, clearly impressed by this philosophical answer.
In her heart, she became increasingly certain that Acheron was likely one of those extraordinary big shots.
Look at these sentences—it's basically a person's whole life, freaking awesome!
The evening breeze blew past, causing the purple bangs on her forehead to sway slightly, revealing Acheron's cold and beautiful face.
She slowly raised her eyes, her amethyst-like gaze falling upon the silent sisters, her lips parting slightly as she continued to speak.
"The [rain]... is starting to get heavier.
Allow me to ask a few final questions."
Acheron paused and spoke.
"If a beautiful dream is destined to shatter, and everything will depart: friends, family, strangers; then the light breeze, the flying birds, the stars... and finally yourself.
Every person, everyone in their memories, those smiles and tears, the fulfilled and unfulfilled promises... in the end, they will all move toward the established finale.
If, at the beginning of the journey, you already knew the destination of this trip...
Tell me, would you still embark on this journey?"
