Lady Providence Leaves
Just like that, the Shang Dynasty was destroyed. King Zhou of Shang became its last emperor.
When King Wu of Zhou fought his way to the imperial palace, his palace was ablaze with raging flames. No one found his corpse, nor did they find the corpse of Daji, who was rumored to have bewitched him.
At the same time, Xia Liuli also disappeared.
A hundred years.
After she awoke, she searched for her for a full hundred years.
She searched the four seas and eight wastelands. She even personally went to the Dragon Clan, but found no trace of Xia Liuli.
Sometimes, she wondered if Xia Liuli had also perished in that fire.
She also wondered if she'd saved King Zhou of Shang and lived in seclusion in a place she'd never been able to find.
But she had no way of confirming this. She'd ascended.
After ascending, she cultivated even harder. She studied the Heavenly Dao and fate, prying into its profound secrets. She remembered what Xia Liuli had told her before …..
Once her strength reached a certain level, she could use the Heavenly Dao to pry into his fate.
During this time, the only thing by her side was the string of bells.
"Big Sister, Big Sister?"
Outside the secret land, Xia Keke couldn't help but reach out and touch Lady Providence's shoulder. It was already dark, but after all this time, Lady Providence hadn't said a single word.
"Hm?"
Xia Keke's touch startled Lady Providence awake.
Especially when she saw Xia Keke's face, it was as if that memory had just happened yesterday.
"Big Sister, you're finally awake. You haven't said anything for so long. I thought something had happened to you. " Xia Keke giggled, then handed the bells back to her. "Just now, you said these bells were very important to me. In that case, I'll return them to you. But can you let me pick out a shiny stone?"
When Xia Keke had chosen the bells, she'd only felt that they had a strange effect on her.
But as Lady Providence sat in silence for half a day, her mind replayed the mountainous pile of gems.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt it wasn't worth it. She wanted to return the bells and choose again.
"Do you regret it?"
Lady Providence pursed her lips and smiled. Xia Keke bit her lip and blushed, but she still nodded furtively.
After that, she seemed to be slightly embarrassed as she spoke.
"I just feel that since this bell is so important to Big Sister, wouldn't Big Sister be very sad if I took it away? I just want … just want … "
"Since you've chosen this bell, it's fated to be with you. Even if she is as important to me as my life, I will not ask for her back. "
Lady Providence clasped her hands behind her back and smiled.
"From now on, you are the owner of this bell."
"Alright … alright."
After hesitating for a while, Xia Keke could only accept this reality. Although she still felt it was a pity that she did not choose the shiny stone at that time, this bell seemed to be quite close to it, so it was not a bad idea to keep it.
Thinking of this, she no longer had that bitter expression on her face, and her face was brimming with a smile.
When she saw Xia Keke's smile, Lady Providence couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"…"
Su Liu'er's thoughts raced. There was definitely something going on between Lady Providence and Keke. In particular, she'd mentioned Xiao Yumei and Chang 'e, but that was only half of what she'd said.
A god's thoughts were truly hard to guess. At the very least, she couldn't think of anything.
But then she thought about it. What was the point of thinking so much?
Who cared what Lady Providence was like? At the very least, she was Su Yan's savior. That alone was enough for her to repay her wholeheartedly.
Su Liu'er cast aside all distracting thoughts and turned to Lady Providence.
"Lady Providence, it's getting late. You must have expended a lot of energy saving Ye Zichen and my little sister. Also, my sisters, you've all worked hard for an entire day. I've already prepared guest rooms for you. How about I take you there to rest? "
"That's right, that's right. It would have been better if Big Sister Liu'er hadn't mentioned it. Now that you mention it, I really am a bit sleepy," agreed Xia Keke.
"I want to stay here and wait for Ye Zichen to wake up."
"Me too."
Xiao Yumei and Chang 'e spoke up.
"I appreciate your kind intentions," said Lady Providence. "But I won't be staying here for the night. There are still many matters waiting for me to take care of in the God Realm. I can't stay here for too long, so I'll have to return to the God Realm."
"I see," nodded Su Liu'er. Inwardly, she wanted to say something, but didn't know how.
"If nothing unexpected happens, they'll wake up in three days. You don't need to worry about that."
Lady Providence could tell what Su Liu'er was thinking, so she tried to comfort her.
"Alright." With that, Lady Providence took out a jade slip and placed it in Su Liu'er's hands. "This jade slip can directly contact me. If they don't wake up in three days, you can use it to contact me."
"Thank you for your concern, Lady Providence."
Su Liu'er put the jade slip into her pocket, then relaxed.
At the same time, Lady Providence looked at Xiao Yumei and Chang 'e.
"It's not a bad idea for the two of you to stay here. In the future, you can get closer. This will be of great benefit to both of you."
"Yes."
Although they didn't quite understand what Lady Providence was trying to say, Xiao Yumei and Chang 'e both bowed in response.
"Big Sister, you're leaving just like that? I can't bear to part with you."
Xia Keke blinked and pouted. She clutched the string of silver bells in her hands, her eyes filled with reluctance.
Although they'd only just met, this big sister treated her really well.
They'd only been together for such a short time. She really couldn't bear to part with her.
"Yes, I have to go back," sighed Lady Providence. She reached out and pinched Xia Keke's cheeks. "I can't bear to part with you either, but the God Realm's Inspection Department needs me to go back and preside over things. But don't worry, when I have time, I'll definitely come back to see you. Of course, you might even ascend to the God Realm by then. At that time, you can go to the Inspection Department and play with me. "
"Alright."
Xia Keke pouted and lowered her head. When Xuan Ji saw her expression, he couldn't help but rub her head with a smile. Then, he snapped his fingers and a spiritual pillar with a door appeared outside Nine-Tailed Fox's secret land.
"Farewell."
Opening the door, Lady Providence stepped inside.
The surrounding women all bowed respectfully to send her off. Xia Keke pouted and waved her hands reluctantly.
Abruptly, the spirit pillar disappeared.
Xia Keke's dismay grew even more obvious. The other women glanced at each other, their expressions strange. Little did they know that the vanished Lady Providence was looking at them through a mirror ….
Or perhaps it was more accurate to say that she was looking at Xia Keke.
"Big Sister Liuli, it's really been a while," murmured Lady Providence.
Lady Providence murmured softly. She dispelled the image on the mirror in a desolate manner. At that moment, a dignified transmission appeared in her sea of consciousness.
