Her Last Words[Completed]

Chapter 14: To Lingshu Terrace

The flower fragrance of warm spring, taking away the hunger of winter. The soft breeze brings the accidental romance.

The birds singing has made us closer. Right at this moment I suddenly fall in love with you.
 
 Listen to me. Hand in hand, walk with me, creating a happily ever after.

Yesterday was too late, tomorrow will regret, would you marry me today?

The passion of the summer, activating the laziness of the Spring. The sunshine’s shining at the happy family.

Every love song provokes the memories, reminding me of how we met back then.

The sadness of Winter, continuing the loneliness of the Autumn. The breeze brings the tough-but-happy missing-you.

Su Moye had rehearsed with Fengjiu on the night before Junuo's execution.

"You have to save Junuo," he had explained. Because she was Fengjiu or because this was a dream dimension which was flawed, many of the original past's fated events had been altered, starting with her challenging Junuo to a horse ride which she had forgotten about due to her amnesia, Xize being called in to treat Junuo's injuries, Xize joining the cruise, Changdi falling for Xize, her rendezvous with Xize which eventually ended with them falling in love and consummating their marriage: something the real Xize wouldn't have cared for.

Despite the changed fates, Mo was adamant that the major events had to happen as they were, in order for him to find out the truth of his disciple's death. Fengjiu believed he was finally coming to terms with his admiration for Aranya.

Aranya had cut herself and Chen Ye's palms with a sharp knife for their blood to flow together, but as Fengjiu had her own body she wondered if the plan would work. Aranya had merged her blood with Chen Ye due to her being of "less powerful blood" compared to that of the blood of the Archmage Chen. Either way, Aranya was a Biyiniao Princess and of royal blood. So Fengjiu started to doubt if the plan would work at all with her own blood. But that was not what she feared the most. Since young, Fengjiu would cry even if she just had a little cut. She feared the sight of her own blood. Yet when Donghua had his mortal trial, she had handled her sword very well as his mortal incarnation's aide. Perhaps as long as it wasn't HER blood.

They were seated in their respective spots watching the execution begin. As in the original past, Junuo's wrist was cut and the blood collected in a cup which was then fed to the sabre to awaken the spirit within. Chen Ye immediately rose and flew to the scene. "The changes to the original past has been so drastic. I don't know if you are Aranya," he whispered while looking around himself for Fengjiu, "If you are her, you will come."

A few arrows were shot in the beast's direction, accurately hitting their target, followed by Fengjiu's emergence. Fengjiu was extremely skilled in archery. "You are her," Chen Ye exclaimed in disbelief. "You have to be, or you would have not come."
