The Game with Fairies - Chapter 410
Chapter 410: A Promise of Ten Thousand Years
The ugly Scaly Soul Worm, with its sharp and strange mouthparts, was carrying a letter.
It clumsily fluttered its wings, flying towards Xiao Yecao, and finally stopped beside her, fluttering up and down.
For this evil creature, delivering a letter was somewhat difficult.
It awkwardly circled Xiao Yecao, urging her to take the letter.
However, Xiao Yecao, who had stopped crying, was somewhat fearful and seemed reluctant to read the last letter left by her Elder Brother.
But in the end, under the clumsy urging of the Scaly Soul Worm, she took a deep breath and took the letter it was carrying.
“Did Elder Brother already anticipate that he wouldn’t return…”
Xiao Yecao murmured to herself. Even for those of the Evil Lineage, the price for using the power of an evil god was steep.
But perhaps Elder Brother didn’t expect that he wouldn’t die from the corruption of the evil god, but rather…
Xiao Yecao took a deep breath, opened the envelope, and saw her brother’s familiar handwriting.
【Zhiwei, seeing this letter is like seeing me】
【By the time you read this, I’m probably already dead】
【If I’m not mistaken, you’re crying a lot right now, aren’t you? Your tears must be falling like rain】
【Tsk tsk… You’ve finally become a high and mighty fairy, but you’re still not as good as that little girl from back then, are you?】
【At least the Xiao Yecao who was sent by the human traffickers wouldn’t cry and wail. She would just glare at me from behind, surely looking for a chance to escape, right?】
【It’s a pity I was too vigilant back then and didn’t give you a chance to run away. I’m really sorry for that】
The familiar handwriting of her brother on the letter made Xiao Yecao’s vision blur rapidly.
Although she was prepared before reading the letter, seeing her brother’s familiar words and his casual mention of his own death, Xiao Yecao’s heart still couldn’t help but ache.
Large tears fell onto the paper.
Xiao Yecao, floating in mid-air, murmured through her tears, “Elder Brother, you bad guy…”
And the content of the letter continued.
【Now that I’m dead, you must be crying】
【Although you usually act nonchalant, as if everything is under control, boasting as if you never shed tears】
【But now that I’m dead, you must be crying, and you’ll definitely cry loudly, without any of the dignity of a fairy, like a little kid who hasn’t grown up… Well, if you want to cry, just cry out loud】
【Your Elder Brother isn’t a bad person, so crying for me isn’t something shameful. If you want to cry, just let it all out】
【But don’t cry for too long, just a brief moment will do.】
【Even though I have died, the real me hasn’t actually perished, so there’s no need to mourn for me.】
【There are some things that I should tell you now. I didn’t mention them before because I was worried that you would overthink if I did.】
【But now that I’m already dead, it’s time to tell you the truth.】
【After all, even if you do overthink, there’s nothing you can do to me…hahaha…】
The content of Elder Brother’s will made Xiao Yecao pause slightly.
Her tears gradually stopped.
A suspicion that had long troubled her heart surged forth at this moment.
A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in her eyes…
And the words on the letter continued.
【In fact, my name isn’t Jiang Xiaoyu, and I’m not from your era.】
【I come from ten thousand years in the future, an ordinary person without exceptional talent or powerful cultivation.】
【Due to some special opportunity, I traveled back ten thousand years to your time and met you, who was about to die.】
【The words of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s master were true. If I hadn’t met you, you would have died in the month you entered Black Cloud Village.】
【In the history I know, a dark catastrophe occurred ten thousand years ago, affecting the whole world.】
【In the midst of the calamity, immortals vanished, all cultivators perished, and the lineage of cultivation was completely severed. The earth was left in ruins, making cultivation increasingly difficult.】
【It wasn’t until thousands of years after the calamity that people gradually discovered the legacies left from ancient times and established various sects.】
【But compared to your era, the cultivators of the future are still far behind.】
【The strongest cultivators of the future only reach the Purple Mansion realm, and immortals exist only in legends.】
【I don’t know the cause of the dark catastrophe, nor do I know if you can survive it.】
【But there are still three hundred years left until the predicted doomsday of the calamity.】
【In these last three hundred years, I hope you can live happily and carefree, not saddened by my death.】
【Although Jiang Xiaoyu has died, the real me is living safely in the world ten thousand years later.】
【So please, don’t feel sad for me.】
【Perhaps we can’t meet again, but I will always remember you, and I hope you can be happy.】
【The meaning of life is not in its length, but in its joy.】
【You look cute when you smile, and even though you’re a bit sly, I hope you can always smile happily and not be sad.】
【Well… I’ve said almost everything I need to say. I’m pressed for time and still need to hurry down to save you, so I won’t ramble on.】
【What do you think? Did this truth scare you?】
【Seeing that Elder Brother is actually a fraud who has deceived you for so long, how do you feel now? Hahaha…】
The last sentence made Xiao Yecao’s lips curl up, and she unconsciously smiled.
“You got me fooled…”
She hadn’t expected the truth to be like this.
Elder Brother was actually a visitor from the future, who by chance saved her, leading to her becoming an immortal.
“Ten thousand years later, huh…”
Xiao Yecao clenched the letter in her hand, murmuring to herself.
Could she really meet Elder Brother ten thousand years later?
Was he truly not dead, but living safely and healthily in the world of the future?
Although she had vaguely guessed something during their time together, this truth still shocked her.
To travel through the river of time, to save a little girl from ten thousand years ago, and to raise her to become a fairy…
“This is an absurd thing that’s hard to believe.”
In the void above Yellow Wind Valley, bathed in the bright sunshine, the fairy holding the letter was looking down, gazing at the familiar handwriting.
Her gaze was still sad, but her eyes gradually lit up with a bright light.
“Even if it’s a lie, I have to verify it myself.”
“Elder Brother, I will survive.”
“Be it the dark catastrophe or the end of the immortals, I will definitely survive.”
“I want to live until ten thousand years later, to go to the future world and meet you in person, to see if you really lied to me.”
Clenching the letter tightly, Xiao Yecao took a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination.
“This is our ten-thousand-year promise!”
“Ten thousand years later, I will meet you!”
“No matter where you are in the world, I will find you!”
“I will never let you down!”
