"Moon!"
That's right, I can't be mistaken; it's Silver Moon's voice!
"Where are you?!"
I ran around in a panic, desperately searching for Silver Moon's figure.
"Idiot, I'm right in front of you," came a light laugh.
Looking at the figure gradually appearing before me, it's real this time; I won't be wrong. He is my Moon.
Silver Moon stood there with his warm, familiar smile, gazing at me affectionately.
No beautiful scene can compare to the world we share, just the two of us, watching over each other.
I couldn't help but cry and laugh at the same time, and without hesitation, I lunged toward that figure!
But—
I actually passed through Silver Moon's body!
Staring blankly at my hands, I realized I had just gone right through him?
I turned around and raised my hand again, trembling unconsciously as I got closer to Silver Moon's face—
And then, I passed through again.
In that moment, I felt as if something in my heart shattered instantly.
...
We stood there frozen, staring at each other, looking at the reflection of ourselves in each other's eyes, neither of us spoke.
I didn't even ask Silver Moon what had happened. I suppressed the unease in my heart, fearing that knowing the answer would be like a storm sweeping away my fragile beliefs, easily shattering my heart.
"Xi Meng, can I stay with you for a while, just the two of us?" Silver Moon asked softly, filled with endless affection, gentle and warm.
As she spoke, Silver Moon's eyes reddened, and a tear glistened as it rolled down her cheek, deeply piercing my heart. What kind of state of mind could cause Silver Moon to shed tears?
"Mm!" I nodded heavily, only to realize that my own face was already wet with tears.
...
Even in this monotonous and dull space, neither Silver Moon nor I showed any impatience. It was as if we had made an agreement; we always wore smiles.
I was the one talking about everything that had happened after leaving Silver Moon. She simply listened quietly, her gaze never leaving me. Throughout the listening process, various emotions flashed across her face—worry, heartache, relief...
“Xi Meng, you have really grown,” Silver Moon said with a light laugh.
“It sounds like you are my elder. Weren't you also just a Little Doll back then?” As I said this, I inadvertently glanced at Silver Moon's ear and was surprised to see that the red gem had turned light blue.
A pang of sadness hit me; how long had it been since I left Silver Moon?
It seemed that Silver Moon sensed my sudden disappointment and reached out to hold my hand, but halfway there, she withdrew, smiling helplessly.
This time, how long can you accompany me? The question lingered on my lips, but I couldn't bring myself to ask it; my throat felt blocked, and I couldn't speak.
After a long time, when I finally spoke again, my voice was hoarse. “How is everyone? Are they doing well?”
Silver Moon stiffened instantly, her gaze blankly drifting elsewhere.
Suddenly, I remembered what the Fire Spirit Stone had said: the Wild Ghost was controlled by Siyimo. But I never believed it; how could the Wild Ghost endure in silence, hiding behind a mask for so long, and easily be manipulated by Siyimo?
“The Fire Spirit Stone said that the Wild Ghost—no, Silverfall—was controlled by Siyimo?”
“...Yes.”
“How is that possible? The Senior Ghost would rather die than be controlled by Siyimo!” In my mind, I recalled that boy with the mask, who always exuded an air of determination; he had always insisted on doing things his way.
“If it weren't for me, how could he have been subdued so easily?” A trace of pain crossed Silver Moon's face as she tightly closed her eyes.
"Alright, alright, no more talking. I know, I definitely don't blame you!"
I wanted so badly to hold Silver Moon, but I could only keep passing through his body... Turning my head, I covered my mouth and let the tears fall.
"Against the heavens—" Silver Moon paused for a moment and said, "stripped of dragon tendons, imprisoned in a water prison."
"White Soul... is already a living dead."
I could no longer hold back and cried out loud, "Why? Why! Siyimo shouldn't have been so ruthless to you! I was so foolish to think she would show mercy!"
"At first, she indeed feared the power behind us. But if Silverfall submits, then awakening the Lord of All Demons and unsealing the demon race would be just around the corner. From then on, Siyimo would have no rivals in the underworld. Now, among the three realms, she has already gained control over the underworld and the human realm. If it weren't for the suppression from the divine realm, perhaps Living Beings would have already suffered greatly."
"She's gone mad, this lunatic! She wants everyone to pay for her past grievances!"
"Now, the only ones who can stop Siyimo are you few. The dangers ahead are inevitable; are you afraid?" Silver Moon asked softly.
"I'm not afraid, and neither are they," I said firmly.
"You've truly grown. Without me on your path ahead, you can still move forward, right?"
I looked seriously into Silver Moon's eyes and said, "Without you, I will still continue on the path of slaying demons and eliminating evil; this is my responsibility and mission—"
"But without you, Xi Meng will never have a lover in this life."
Silver Moon was taken aback for a moment, then a dazzling smile appeared on her face. "For me, this is enough."
"Ah, ah, ah—"
At that moment, a giant bird with red and gold feathers suddenly appeared, circling above me and Silver Moon, shrieking sharply.
"This should be the person from the Fire Spirit Stone," I guessed.
Silver Moon glanced at me. "Your companion has been located."
"Really found him?!" I exclaimed.
"With his strength, it's not difficult. Moreover, having survived divine punishment, his magical power has increased. It's not hard for him to find someone in the Three Realms."
Everyone had been found, but I wasn't as happy; my unease about Silver Moon grew stronger.
Finally, I couldn't help but ask, "How long can you stay by my side?"
A hint of bitterness appeared at the corners of Silver Moon's mouth. I knew that my expression mirrored hers; we still had to face the final answer.
"Actually, just being able to see you one last time is enough for me."
Saying this, Silver Moon opened her palm, revealing a Soulbond Ring within.
"That day, I knew I could not escape this calamity, so I attached part of my consciousness to this ring and gave it to you. I stored your ring within my body."
"I wondered why I couldn't wear it back then; this ring is yours," I whispered.
"Only in this way can I sense you and appear before you... Now, it has finally returned to its rightful owner. You look beautiful wearing it," Silver Moon said, looking at my hand.
I smiled and took off the ring, and Silver Moon's face instantly showed panic.
"In the human realm, the ring must be worn on the left hand's ring finger, which signifies—I'm your wife."
Silver Moon was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he finally responded, asking, "Say it again, what are you to me?"
"Wife. I, Xi Meng, am Silver Moon's wife."
Silver Moon extended his right hand while I extended my left. Our hands faced each other; even without touching, it didn't matter because we were very close at that moment.
...
I wished this moment could last forever until a distant voice calling "Xi Meng—!" shattered all my beautiful expectations.
Xiaopu and the others had arrived.
Two giant birds flew side by side and landed not far from me. Xiaopu and the others jumped down from the birds' backs and walked over quickly.
"Your Highness?! I'm so glad you're okay!" the naive Xiaopu exclaimed happily upon seeing Silvermoon.
Seeing Chiba, Sun, and Curse Seal safe in front of me brought some comfort to my heart.
"Come here." Sun pulled Xiaopu over, standing protectively in front of her while watching Silvermoon warily.
"It's fine, he is the real Silvermoon," I said.
"What happened?" Chiba asked.
"I'll explain later... Where have you all been?"
"I'm curious about that too. That day, you followed Prince Silvermoon into the Blood Bat. We intended to go after you, but a force immediately cut us off. Then a strong wind hit, and we all lost consciousness. When we came to, we found ourselves trapped on a small island surrounded by water, which was a golden-red color," Xiaopu described.
"Golden-red?" Could it be that the Fire Spirit Stone hid them away? Why didn't he tell me earlier?
"We tried everything to leave that small island. Later, a large bird came and said it could take us away and find you."
"You just followed it because it said it could find me?! How could you be so careless! If it's a subordinate of Siyimo, you would be in danger right now!" I said sternly.
"Oh come on, we're fine now, and we found you!" Xiaopu replied cheerfully, still hiding behind Sun.
"Xiaopu is one thing, but how could the rest of you do something like this?!" I said to the others.
"Still can't find you, someone is getting anxious. Since death is inevitable, why not give it a try?" Sun said with a smirk.
"This time I was careless," Chiba murmured.
I sighed and said, "Siyimo can't wait any longer. She could eliminate us at any moment, so everyone must stay alert and not act alone, okay?"
Xiaopu nodded with a sense of grievance, and the others agreed.
Suddenly, I noticed that Curse Seal at the back had half a mask on his face, looking very unwell and in a state of panic.
"Curse Seal, what's wrong?"
Curse Seal seemed not to hear me, lost in his thoughts, frowning and pursing his lips, his gaze wandering.
"Curse Seal!" I called out again, raising my voice slightly.
"Ah!" Curse Seal finally reacted.
"What's wrong with you, Curse Seal?" I asked Xiaopu.
Xiaopu awkwardly smiled and poked Sun a few times.
I looked back at Sun, who turned to look at Chiba.
Chiba's gaze collided with mine, and this was his first time applying for help, lowering his head and not daring to look at me.
"What happened, Curse Seal? What's going on with your mask? You tell me," I finally looked at Curse Seal.
"..." Curse Seal lowered his head and remained silent.
I quickly moved in front of Curse Seal and forcefully pulled off half of the mask!
Suddenly shocked, I saw that the right half of his face, which had been covered by the mask, revealed the same scarred symbols I had seen the first time I met Curse Seal, densely packed.
Compared to the intact left half of his face, it was like heaven and earth.
"Quickly tell me, what happened to your face?!" I urged.
"…Don't be angry. It was… Dark Stone… it shattered," Curse Seal said in a very low voice.
But I still heard him.
"What did you say!"
"Xi Meng, don't blame Curse Seal. After you jumped off Little Pink's back with Prince Silvermoon, Curse Seal followed you down. His forehead got pecked at that moment. If it weren't for Little Pink's quick reaction to catch him again, Curse Seal would have been torn apart."
