Chapter 145 What does "brother and sister" mean?
[Fairyland, Forest]
After instructing Mo Xiao to find Princess Qing, Shui Qingli planned to set off for Princess Meng's Dream Night City.
In order to find scapegoats to replace Bing Lixue, who brought down a seven-day blizzard in the previous life, Shui Qingli plans to use her dream-making abilities to brainwash certain fairies from the perspective of precognitive dreams.
However, before this plan could be implemented, it was interrupted by a soft, sharp voice:
【Oh no, Water Prince!】
"Why are you so panicked? What happened?" Shui Qingli stopped casting the spell and asked Qianqian in confusion.
[Water Prince, please go to the Ice Crystal Palace quickly! I've detected something wrong with your sister...]
"What?!" Upon hearing this news, Shui Qingli disregarded his subsequent plans and immediately opened a waterway, heading straight for the Ice Crystal River.
……
[Fairyland, Ice Crystal River, Ice Crystal Palace]
Inside what appeared to be a palace sculpted from ice, Bing Lixue sat alone on a throne made of ice, looking at her delicate hands with a hint of melancholy in her eyes.
On her fair palm, there were already some missing spots, and that blank space seemed like a black hole, trying to completely devour her.
Even though Bing Lixue never showed any signs of weakening in her fairy power thanks to the help of the fairy fairy Bai Guangying, the melting of glaciers in the human world has led to signs that her body is beginning to disappear.
"boom--"
Just then, part of the iceberg outside the Ice Crystal Palace suddenly collapsed.
This is the fourth collapse this month. Bing Lixue can already foresee that if this continues, she, as a nature fairy, may very well perish completely and disappear entirely.
Perhaps she will become the first fairy to disappear from the fairyland...
Bing Lixue is not afraid of dying. She is only worried that if she disappears, her brother (Shui Qingli) will be sad. Will the human world be submerged by the ocean due to the complete melting of glaciers, and how many lives will be lost in the sea?
Kind-hearted as Bing Lixue, she truly did not want to see that day of suffering and devastation.
However, just as she couldn't slow down her own disappearance, she was powerless to stop the gradual melting of glaciers in the human world...
It was at this moment that a water channel appeared in the Ice Crystal Palace, and the next moment, Shui Qingli appeared in Bing Lixue's sight.
"Sister!" Shui Qingli was anxious and didn't have time to care about anything else. She rushed to Bing Lixue, put her hands on her shoulders, and looked her up and down with a scrutinizing gaze: "Are you alright?"
"Brother?" Bing Lixue was startled by Shui Qingli's sudden appearance. When she saw that it was her brother who was concerned about her, she lowered her guard and became visibly happy.
It seemed that Shui Qingli's arrival had swept away all the gloom in her heart.
However, remembering her fading hand, Bing Lixue silently clenched her fist and hid it behind her back.
Bing Lixue didn't want her brother to know that she had begun to disappear—she was afraid he would worry too much.
"I am the ruler of ice and snow, what could possibly happen to me?"
"Sister, let me see your hands." Shui Qingli naturally didn't believe Bing Lixue's words, after all, Qianqian would never make things up without reason.
“Brother…” Bing Lixue hesitated for a moment, but seeing Shui Qingli’s worried and anxious expression, she obediently stretched out her hand and showed Shui Qingli the spot on her palm that had begun to disappear.
“Sister, your hand…” Shui Qingli’s eyes widened as she reached out and took Bing Lixue’s hand in her hands to examine it closely: “Has it already started to disappear?”
(Just to emphasize, Shui Shui was wearing gloves, so she maintained a normal distance from Abing.)
If it weren't for Qianqian's reminder, Shui Qingli would almost have believed that the Light Fairy could help Bing Lixue postpone the time when she began to disappear.
Yes, the crux of the matter lies in the human world. Even with the powerful fairy power of the Fairy of Light as a guarantee, Bing Lixue could not escape the fate of her body dissipating due to the melting of human glaciers.
"Brother, I'm fine. There are just some signs of the blood disappearing from my hand. Don't worry." Bing Lixue noticed that Shui Qingli's expression had suddenly become extremely serious and solemn.
"How could I not worry? You're my sister!" Shui Qingli couldn't help but recall everything that happened in her past life.
Even though he neglected her time and time again for the sake of a human, and even hurt her, she would still resolutely give her life to save him.
So what does the term "brother and sister" really mean to them? They are their only family in this life!
