"I believe that in this lifetime, he will no longer betray me." After a long silence, she finally spoke.
"Oh, foolish child, why are you so naive? Why can't you understand?" the Flower Goddess said with reluctance.
"Please, Your Highness, let me stay."
"Enough, enough. Mirror Flower Fairy, you must think carefully about the consequences of your decision."
"I will not regret it."
"Have you truly made up your mind?"
"Yes, thank you for your care and affection, Your Highness. I understand everything, but I just cannot give up. At least I am by his side now."
"Everything is driven by desire; it is your destined calamity." With those words, the Flower Goddess vanished.
What was meant to happen eventually came. That day, a Maid arrived at the flower garden, anxiously saying to him that the young lady wanted her family and asked the maid to notify the young master to quickly offer flowers to the lord.
He held the scissors that had long been prepared but hesitated to make a cut. The maid grew anxious and urged, "Young master, what are you waiting for? The young lady is about to marry someone else; why hesitate over a single flower?"
"You go back; I need to think some more."
The Maid stomped her foot in anger and turned to leave.
He watched her, motionless. Her expression was gentle, as if just looking at her was the greatest motivation for him to live on.
In the tranquil flower garden, they kept watch over each other, their distance resembling that of lovers who could never reach one another.
He sighed, "You are a flower, just a flower." Yet his beautiful eyes were filled with infatuation.
She sighed inwardly, how much longer can I stay with you?
That night, Miss Mirror brought the Maid to the flower garden, where they were alone. They took out scissors and a jade box.
"He will blame me if he finds out."
"Miss, don't hesitate. This concerns your lifelong happiness. The young master is just momentarily confused; once he regains his senses, he will surely regret it. Hurry, Miss."
"Alright, you are right."
She realized something was wrong—no, she didn't want to die yet. Thinking this, she exerted all her strength to reveal her true form, when suddenly a terrifying thought struck her.
If she became Miss Mirror, would she be able to stay by his side forever?
The Mirror and the Maid saw the flower transform into a person and exclaimed that there was a monster. She didn't give them time to call for help.
Yes, if she became the Mirror, then she wouldn't disappear. That thought crossed her mind.
So, she transformed into the Mirror and turned the Mirror back into that flower. To recover faster, the Maid became her first target for hunting.
She felt that devouring humans made her stronger; it seemed her powers began to recover as well. Thus, in one night, she killed everyone in the Mirror's household.
She did not know what was right or wrong; she only wanted more. Ugly desires began to sprout, leading to an uncontrollable situation later on.
In one night, "Mirror" became an orphan and canceled her engagement before coming to his residence. They finally were together.
Due to the loss in her family, the wedding was hastily arranged. That night changed everything; the beautiful flower bloomed even more enchanting but lacked its former brilliance.
The number of dead in the town kept increasing, but she didn't care; in the end, it was just her and him, and that was fine. Greed had completely changed her appearance, until one day, he finally spoke up.
"Who are you?" That night, he was drunk.
"I'm Mirror, Husband," she said with a smile as she helped him straighten his clothes.
"You're not. You've been lying to me."
Her hand froze for a moment, but she continued to smile, not wanting to discuss that topic any further.
"Husband, look, the child has been woken up by you. You should go to sleep now."
She picked up the child. Yes, they had a child, the offspring of a god and a human.
He watched the woman's back as she left in silence.
Even if she could deceive the heavens and stay with him, even give birth to a child, would the divine realm really just ignore everything?
That day, the sky was overcast, thunder roared, and the wind howled. She realized something was wrong!
Leaving half of her power with him and the child, she set off alone to Sky's Edge.
That day marked the end of her happiness.
Though she should have been satisfied, she felt unwilling and even thought about leaving the divine realm to establish herself as a queen in the human world. The Heavenly Emperor was furious; Tiny Fairy had actually descended to the mortal realm, given birth in the human world, and committed murder against the innocent. One crime after another made her suddenly realize what she had done over the years.
Looking at the distant Flower Goddess, disappointment and Pity filled her eyes. She understood that she had made a grave mistake—one that was utterly ridiculous.
The Heavenly Emperor sentenced her to the destruction of her primordial spirit, never to be reborn.
At that moment, he appeared.
Seeing him in the divine realm, she began to feel fear. Would the Heavenly Emperor punish him?
"Heavenly Emperor, everything is the doing of the Mirror Flower Fairy; it has nothing to do with anyone else."
The Heavenly Emperor did not speak.
He trembled as he approached her, "Did you kill those people?"
At that moment, she suddenly wished for her own death.
"Do you love me?" he continued to ask.
She slowly raised her head to look at him and softly said, "I do."
He no longer looked at her but knelt before the Heavenly Emperor and said, "Great Deity, everything started because of me. I hope you will forgive the Mirror Flower Fairy."
"You insignificant mortal, do you think this is a place for you to speak freely?"
"I understand, and I am willing to be punished alongside the Mirror Flower Fairy."
The Heavenly Emperor fell silent, and the Flower Goddess shook her head. It was destined; no one could change it.
"Alright, since you are in love, I will allow you to be together for eternity. Mortal, from now on, you cannot speak. Every time you open your mouth, it will be a curse; others will die because of you. You also cannot open your eyes; anyone you see will be killed by you."
"And you, Mirror Flower Fairy, from now on you will be his eyes, but he will never see you nor hear your voice."
Before they could resist, they were cast into the underworld along with those from the small town. The town still held half of her magical power at that time, allowing them to quickly establish themselves in the underworld while remaining disconnected from the outside world.
From then on, it was referred to as "Holy Spirit Village." He was destined not to live beyond five hundred years, so every five hundred years, a cursed child would appear in Holy Spirit Village. They called this child the "Cursed Child," and the birthmark on the right side of their chest would bear a beautiful and enchanting flower. This flower could transform into a human form and accompany the Cursed Child; this was something everyone in Holy Spirit Village knew.
In every lifetime, he and she were inseparable, only to meet again and part ways.
"Flower Tears" said sadly, "I cannot escape fate with 'White Soul.' He is about to turn five hundred now, and this time, I cannot let him die."
For a moment, I found myself at a loss for words. Such a heavy story; I looked at the frail figure of "Flower Tears" before me, realizing how passionately she had once loved.
"Every time 'White Soul' speaks, it reduces his lifespan. Anyone who talks to him will die. While he alters others' fate, he also shortens his own life."
"When did 'White Soul' realize this?" It was hard to imagine how he accepted it.
"The Cursed Child will never live past five hundred years; after death, they are placed in the ancestral hall. This lifetime, 'White Soul' has lived the longest. And as you can see, talking to him does not lead to death; he is controlling it himself, proving that his constitution is changing." At this point, "Flower Tears" became somewhat agitated, eager to prove her point.
"After every Cursed Child is born, the first person they kill is their own magical parent." "Flower Tears" suddenly stopped, overwhelmed by sorrow.
It was terrifying; how could one accept such an act when they grew up? How painful would it be for 'White Soul' to know the truth?
"But this time, 'White Soul's' mother is not from this village. She is extraordinarily powerful and was not killed by 'White Soul.' She sealed 'White Soul's' eyes and mouth with her magic, hoping to allow this child to live longer. As 'White Soul' grew up, her magic could not prevent the curse placed on him by the Heavenly Emperor. Fortunately, 'White Soul' had already become aware and no longer opened his eyes or spoke."
"What happened afterward? Where did 'White Soul's' mother go?"
"She died."
"What? Died?"
"Yes. Every Cursed Child typically dies around a hundred years old and is then sent to the ancestral hall as a sacrifice to the divine beast inside. 'White Soul's' lifespan has been longer than in previous lifetimes; the divine beast ordered him to be taken to the ancestral hall when he turned two hundred."
"So, his mother died to save him?"
"Yes, her mother is from the Snow Demon Clan, which possesses immense magical power. At that time, she entered the shrine and fought against the divine beast inside. Later, it was said that she severely injured the divine beast but ultimately succumbed to her own injuries."
"The Snow Demon Clan? The one with a power surpassing the Supreme Lord? So now the White Soul has bloodlines from the three realms?"
"Sister Hua Lei, what kind of divine beast is inside the shrine?" I always felt something was off; that shrine exuded an aura of evil, completely unlike the atmosphere radiating from Holy Spirit Village.
"I don't know. Although my magic once protected this place, it was still somewhat weak. One day, Holy Spirit Village was attacked by foreign tribes, and it is said that a divine beast descended from the heavens to protect this place. Since then, that divine beast has resided in the shrine, and this place has not been attacked again."
Hmph, a divine beast? I want to see what kind of monster is really inside that shrine.
"So does that mean you have a way to save White Soul?"
Flower Tears furrowed her brows in distress, seemingly struggling and wavering.
"Yes, I want to give it a try." She sighed deeply.
"Sigh, sister, your love is too heavy."
Flower Tears nodded helplessly.
