1053: Chapter 1054: Parting Ways 1053: Chapter 1054: Parting Ways “What are you doing!”
A woman in a white dress, sowhat angrily, shouted at the people before her, running over to embrace the Hua Ye Fox.
She sized up the group with discontent in her eyes.
The only ti she showed surprise was upon seeing Liao Yu, observing him suspiciously for a mont, the other party said,
“What are you doing here?
Are you really from the Special Duty Team?”
Liao Yu positioned a small boy behind himself before responding to the woman,
“I am, and I can show you my credentials, but could you please explain why you are here?”
Unlike Estir, this woman gave him the impression that she wasn’t very strong.
If she wasn’t pretending to be weak, it was questionable how she could have appeared here since this was inside the Dream Domain, a place an ordinary person wouldn’t be able to enter or exit freely.
Of course, if his own Beast Tar and Guo Huai’s Pu Pu had the ability to co and go from the Dream Domain that would be another matter, but they hadn’t noticed anything unusual about this area?
Until now, this anomalous space had shown no signs of actively intervening with reality, as if it were a hidden secret area.
“?
This…”
The woman, holding the Hua Ye Fox, hesitated for a long ti without explaining.
Agunas narrowed his eyes; there was a ti aura she was trying hard to suppress on her.
It was very likely she had a piece of the false World Clock on her.
Just as Agunas was about to take action, the woman lifted her head, sighed, and said,
“I know this isn’t right, but…
I just miss it so much.
I’ve been trying to minimize its influence, please…
could you give so more ti?”
Blocking Agunas with his hand, Feng Yuan spoke up,
“Do you really understand what you’ve done?”
With a bitter smile, the woman gently stroked the Hua Ye Fox in her arms and whispered,
“I know, it’s just…
I couldn’t help myself…
No matter how you punish , can you please wait?”
After observing the woman for a mont, Feng Yuan suddenly smiled and said,
“Suit yourself—if he tries to catch you, I will block him.”
“Hey!
What are you doing?”
Liao Yu shouted at Feng Yuan in dissatisfaction.
The woman, feeling grateful, glanced at Feng Yuan and, embracing the Hua Ye Fox, turned to leave.
Then, as if rembering sothing, she said,
“Can you please wait for in Central Street Park?”
“Central Street Park?
Where is that?”
Scratching his head, Feng Yuan looked towards Liao Yu.
Although there were many Central Street Parks in Maomu City, the way she said it likely referred to a specific one.
Glancing at Feng Yuan, Liao Yu said irritably,
“I don’t know!”
“But she’s already far away—if you don’t tell , you won’t be able to et her.”
Feng Yuan pointed to where the woman had disappeared, speaking up.
The alleyways were twisting and complex; she had vanished after just one turn, and with so many forks in the road, trying to catch up and find her now was nearly impossible.
Looking at Feng Yuan, Liao Yu said in dissatisfaction,
“What are you really thinking?
Are you that easily convinced by her?”
“I think…
she might be trustworthy.”
Dou Yanlan suddenly spoke up.
Liao Yu and Qi Chen looked at Dou Yanlan in confusion.
Gitalien, stroking his chin, seed to understand sothing, and Estir, watching the direction the woman had left in, remained silent for a long ti, letting out a long sigh.
Long Boduo, curious, looked at Estir and after a while nudged Feng Yuan with his head, asking,
“Is the issue here resolved?”
“It should be, as long as we wait in Central Street Park, it should be fine.”
“Are you that certain?”
Liao Yu looked at Feng Yuan skeptically.
He didn’t believe that a criminal would willingly walk into a trap.
Holding Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan glanced at Liao Yu and said irritatedly,
“Why not believe?
I don’t think soone who truly loves Spirit Beasts would be that bad, and besides…”
Feng Yuan looked in the direction the woman had left, sighed, and while soothing Xiao Ji’s feathers, which made Xiao Ji sowhat angry, he let out a chuckle and said,
“So, do you actually want to lead the way or not, Mr.
Special Duty Team mber~”
“It turns out to be the precursor to the square, I didn’t expect that the construction ti of that square was so short.”
Sitting on the bench in Central Street Park, Feng Yuan’s fingers occasionally ruffled Xiao Ji’s feathers, and unsatisfied with Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji stepped back a few steps, then moved back after a mont.
Little Ice Cream sat beside them, curled up as if resting, while Dou Yanlan stood nearby, seemingly hesitant about sothing.
After a while, she spoke up,
“Is there really no way?”
“No way for what?”
Feng Yuan looked at Dou Yanlan with confusion, not quite understanding what she ant.
It took him a mont before he realized and said,
“Are you talking about the Hua Ye Fox?”
“The Hua Ye Fox?
I thought it was her in person…”
“How did you know?”
Just as Feng Yuan was about to speak up and explain, the voice of the woman in question suddenly rang out.
Feng Yuan looked at Liao Yu, noticed the reluctance following the woman’s Hua Ye Fox, and saw Dou Yanlan remain silent.
Feng Yuan smiled and said,
“Didn’t you say it yourself?
Missing it too much?”
As he spoke, he patted Xiao Ji’s head, and Xiao Ji tilted its head to look at Feng Yuan.
After a while, it let out a pleased eagle cry.
The woman, holding the Hua Ye Fox, sadly said,
“Right…
I’m very sorry, can we talk about this after we get back to reality?”
Feng Yuan observed the Hua Ye Fox for a while, then said with a bit of amusent,
“Do you think it hasn’t noticed?
It knows very well, it has just never spoken out.”
The Hua Ye Fox nuzzled the woman with its head.
Although it knew she was from the future, the familiar scent, the familiar habits, made it very clear who she was.
As for why she would call out to it in the future, it had its speculations.
Perhaps, by that ti, it would no longer exist.
Holding Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan sighed and asked,
“What exactly did you all go through back then?”
“I…”
Looking at the Hua Ye Fox, the woman was unsure if she should reveal the truth, for she had heard that the past couldn’t be tampered with, and since the Hua Ye Fox was from the past, could its knowing about the future affect the future?
Sensing her apprehension, Feng Yuan smiled slightly and said,
“Then let’s wait until it has left to talk about it.”
The Hua Ye Fox rubbed against the woman; although it didn’t know exactly what had happened, it didn’t want her to be sad because of it.
Xiao Ji, inexplicably, squeezed against Feng Yuan.
Feng Yuan, with the intention to push Xiao Ji away, barely raised his hand before giving up on the idea, and instead gently rubbed Xiao Ji’s head.
Feng Yuan humd a special lody, and the woman, surprised, looked toward Feng Yuan.
She liked the lody, full of thought, and by the end, the uplifting tune made her unable to resist gently stroking the Hua Ye Fox’s body.
“Goodbye…”
As she watched the Hua Ye Fox slowly enter the mist, the woman whispered, and the Hua Ye Fox turned back every three steps to look at her.
Seeing it like this, the woman smiled and waved goodbye.
After a long ti, the Hua Ye Fox disappeared into the fog, and the woman collapsed to the ground with a long sigh.
Then, the yellowish-brown Cat-Type Spirit Beast that had been following her closely approached and licked the back of her hand with its tongue.
Covering her face, the woman cried softly, and it took a long ti before she recovered and looked up at Feng Yuan, saying,
“Sorry, for taking up so much of your ti.”
Then, the woman took out a tal fragnt from her pocket.
Although he was trying very hard to conceal his energy, it was right there in front of her, and Agunas imdiately recognized it as a fake World Clock fragnt.
Looking at the woman, Feng Yuan said with so surprise,
“I didn’t expect you to be so restrained.
If you kept holding onto it, couldn’t you continue to see it?”
“But the past can’t be without it…
yet…
Isn’t this too selfish of …
In the end, it was to save that it…
and now I…”
Gitalien glanced at the woman and said,
“If you fantasize about helping it escape that crisis, perhaps you’ll only make things worse.
You don’t have the power to defy ti.”
The fake World Clock fragnt, which was trying to hide even its energy, could not be expected to help her defy ti.
Even returning to the past was impossible.
Dou Yanlan sighed and did not ask Feng Yuan for help.
With such a fate set in stone, even if he could help, what then?
Feng Yuan had said that all deaths were hard to change, and every ti you saved a predetermined death in the past, there was a price to be paid.
Although she felt sympathy for the woman’s plight, she couldn’t sacrifice the interests of others to help her.
Qi Chen remained silent, like Dou Yanlan, knowing that to help her would cost them, so he didn’t even think to ntion it.
Najia gripping Yang Hong’s shoulder, shuddered continuously.
Yang Hong gently patted its back and comforted it with a low voice.
