Chapter 487 Died in the Springtime of the Flower Garden
As the pink mist descended, countless images surged forth like a tide, instantly engulfing Ling Yi. When Ling Yi steadied himself and opened his eyes again, the scene before him had completely changed.
The surrounding scenery changed from the Zhuoqin Space to a snowy landscape, and she was now on the roof of a palace.
With just one glance, Ling Yi was certain that these were Adele's memories.
"Adele!"
Just as Ling Yi was thinking this, a young man appeared below the palace. He flew up from below and walked behind Ling Yi.
Ling Yi followed the young man's gaze and saw a very beautiful woman wearing a pink dress. The woman was sitting on the roof, holding her face in her hands and gazing into the distance, her eyes filled with unyielding sorrow.
This is Adele.
Ling Yi looked at Adele. Her current appearance was exactly the same as the one in the statue. The difference was that she was truly alive now, instead of looking vibrant but actually dead like in the statue.
These memories were resentment passed down to her from the past, allowing her to see them. The people in the memories couldn't see her, so there was nothing to worry about. Ling Yi simply sat down next to her and watched.
The young man stopped in front of Adele, half-squatting down. He then opened his hands, revealing a piece of ice crystal in his palms. In the center of the ice crystal bloomed a beautiful flower, its petals a delicate pink, its leaves a vibrant green. Such bright and beautiful colors were common elsewhere, but quite rare in this snowy region where only wind and snow reigned. Adele's gaze, which had been fixed on the distance, fell upon the ice crystal. The young man's eyes filled with joy upon seeing this, and he carefully offered the ice crystal to Adele: "Adele, this is springtime, a flower unique to our snowy region. I'm giving it to you."
Adele looked at the small flower inside the ice crystal and frowned slightly: "Spring blooms on the edge of nowhere, which is the most dangerous place in the snowy region. You shouldn't go there."
“I’m fine.” The young man looked at Adele: “Ever since the news of the blockade of the divine land came, you’ve been unhappy. I want you to be unhappy too. I want you to be happy.”
At the mention of the sacred land, Adele's expression grew even more sorrowful: "There's no going back..."
After news of the divine land's blockade reached the snowy region, she rushed back immediately, but she could no longer set foot in her former hometown, let alone search for her mother.
The young man saw Adele's sadness and felt both heartache and helplessness.
He felt sorry for Adele, but unfortunately, matters of the divine land were beyond his reach as someone far away in the snowy region. All he could do was try to make Adele happy.
“Adele, you can stay in the Snow Region,” the young man said gently. “If you don’t want to stay in the Snow Region and want to go somewhere else, I can go with you.”
"No matter where you want to go, as long as it makes you happy, we'll go."
The young man's promise echoed in the snow palace. Adele's sad expression softened a little, and she reached out to take the ice crystal that the young man had carefully held in his palm: "Wenyao, will you really always stay with me?"
Xue Wenyao nodded: "Adele, I will always be with you."
Upon hearing this, Adele finally smiled: "Wenyao, I..."
"Senior brother!" Just as Adele was about to say something to Xue Wenyao, a sweet voice rang out. Ling Yi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman who was also wearing a pink dress.
Upon seeing the woman's appearance, Ling Yi raised an eyebrow. This was the other woman from the scene she had seen earlier due to her resentment.
The two people in that picture are Adele and this woman; now only the man in the picture is missing.
Thinking of this, Ling looked at Xue Wenyao in front of Ade. He was not the man in the picture. So, the protagonist in Ade's memory was someone else.
Just as Ling Yi was watching, the woman who had come later also reached the top of the palace. Looking at Xue Wenyao, she said unhappily, "Brother Wenyao, didn't you say you would accompany me to hunt wolves today?"
Xue Wenyao looked at the woman with a somewhat helpless expression: "Chunri, I haven't forgotten what I promised you, but isn't it time to set off yet?"
Chunri pouted, looking extremely unhappy: "Everyone is waiting over at the main hall, but you haven't gone over yet. Master told me to come and call you."
"Okay," Xue Wenyao said. "You go back first, I'll be right there."
Chunri glanced at Adele, her displeasure becoming even more apparent: "She hasn't left, what are you afraid of?"
"Today is my birthday. You promised me a long time ago, so you can't go back on your word."
"I haven't gone back on my word." Seeing that Chunri was unwilling to listen, Xue Wenyao was extremely helpless and could only say to Adai, "Adai, I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back soon."
Adele wasn't upset by Chunri's appearance and nodded, "Go ahead."
Xue Wenyao stood up and looked at Chunri: "Let's go."
Chunri pouted: "You go first, I have something to say to her."
Upon hearing this, Xue Wenyao's gentle expression turned serious, and he looked at Chunri earnestly, saying, "Chunri, I have said that Ade is my savior, and you must not disrespect her."
“Brother Wenyao, I just wanted to talk to her, I didn’t disrespect her, why are you being so mean to her?” Chunben was already unhappy, and hearing Xue Wenyao say this made her even more unhappy: “Ever since you brought her back, you’ve never paid any attention to me, your junior sister.”
"That was not what I meant……"
"What do you mean by not that?"
"I……"
"Wenyao, you should go first." Seeing that the two were about to escalate their argument, Ade said, "Chunri just wanted to talk to me, don't worry."
Xue Wenyao turned around and called out helplessly, "Adele..."
Adele said, "It's alright."
Seeing this, Xue Wenyao knew he couldn't say anything more and could only leave.
After Xue Wenyao left, Chunri's expression changed immediately. She looked at Ade with a cold face and said, "Don't think that you can be with Brother Wenyao just because you saved him. Father said that when I'm a little older, he will ask the royal family to propose marriage to the temple so that Brother Wenyao can marry me."
Adele looked at Haruhi: "So?"
"So don't even think about it," Chunri said. "Whether Wenyao likes you, you like Wenyao, or you like each other, you shouldn't even think about being together."
"Why can't we be together if we like each other?" Ade wasn't angry at what Chunri said. She just said, "Besides, Wenyao said that as long as I'm willing, he'll go with me wherever I go. And I want to take him away from the snowy region. You can't stop me."
"no!"
Upon hearing this, Chunri retorted loudly, "I won't allow you to take Brother Wenyao away."
Upon hearing this, Adele wanted to say something more, but when she looked up, she saw tears in Chunri's eyes. Adele was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
What she just said wasn't meant to scare him; she was simply telling Haruhi the truth, and she hadn't expected Haruhi to cry...
Just as Adele remained silent, Haruhi's voice, trembling with tears, rang out: "Aren't you a god?"
"You're good-looking and capable, so many people must like you. Why are you trying to steal Wenyao from me?"
Adele wanted to say that it wasn't a matter of taking or not taking, but seeing how sad Spring was, and considering that it was also her birthday today, Adele didn't say much. She raised her hand to gather power, then let the power fall on the ice crystal, melting it and then enveloping the flower. When the power dissipated, a large bunch of pink flowers appeared in her palm.
Adele used her strength as a rope to tie the flowers together and presented them to Spring: "Spring gives to Spring, may your birthday be filled with happiness."
Springtime stared blankly at the flowers before her.
She wouldn't let her be with Brother Wenyao, and she wasn't angry, but why did she send her flowers?
Seeing that Haruhi was standing there without reacting, Adele asked, "Don't you like it?"
She had heard Wen Yao mention Chunri. Chunri was the only child of the Snowfield Temple Master. The Temple Master named the child after the beautiful and unique spring in the Snowfield, which showed how much he doted on her. After her mother died early, the Temple Master spoiled and indulged his only child even more, which made Chunri spoiled and willful. She was disliked by the Snowfield disciples, but they had to flatter her because of her status. However, the disciples could tell the difference between sincerity and pretense, and Chunri could sense it. Therefore, she disliked the disciples even more, and the relationship between the two sides deteriorated. If the Temple Master were not Chunri's father, the disciples would probably have ganged up on Chunri.
Adele looked at Chunri. During her time in the snowy region, she had seen Chunri interact with the temple disciples. Although he was a bit arrogant in his words and actions, he did not abuse his status to do anything to the disciples. He was not a bad person.
Just as Adele was thinking about Chunri, Chunri snatched the flowers and snorted coldly, "Don't think that just because you gave me flowers, I'll agree to you being with Brother Wenyao."
"I'm telling you, it's impossible!"
After finishing her speech, Chunri hugged the flowers, turned around, jumped off the palace roof, and ran away without looking back.
Adele watched Chunri run away and smiled, but soon her smile turned into resentment, and her dress quickly turned black as if it had been stained with ink.
Seeing this, Ling Yi raised an eyebrow. Before she could speak, Adele looked in her direction and asked, "Aren't you curious about who ended up with Xue Wenyao, me or her?"
Ling Yi looked at Adele in front of him, or rather, Adele formed from resentment: "I'm quite curious, so is it you or her?"
“None of those.” Adele watched Chunri run away, her sadness overpowering her hatred at this moment: “I was killed by Xue Wenyao and her father. She took the divine jade that sealed my body and died in Chunri, Thousand Flower Realm.”
