Ye Ci stood alone in the Beginner's Village.
She had taken off her battle robe and bought a new set of clothes from the Tailor. Even though it was not the same style as when she first started, it was still the same. After all, all beginner's clothes were pretty much the same. Even if she could not find her original look, she could still make do with it. Even though Ye Ci was a little disappointed by the difference, she had no choice but to accept it.
Ye Ci was a very conflicted person. Even though she was always conflicted about the strange things, such as whether the pattern on her shoes was crooked or whether the tassels on her clothes were too long …. However, this did not stop Ye Ci from being a perfectionist. She was very dissatisfied with the new set of clothes she was wearing. Ye Ci kept describing the clothes she wore when she first started the game to the NPC. Half an hour later, the NPC began to show signs of impatience. The NPC even rolled his eyes when Ye Ci turned around, "Dear adventurer, the clothes you're talking about are no longer sold here. They're outdated goods." The NPC spoke up with a hint of anger in his voice.
For a moment, Ye Ci could only grimace as she picked out a set of beginner's clothes that she had been wearing for a long time. Ye Ci heard the NPC let out a long sigh as she walked out of the door. Even though the business in the Beginner's Village was not doing well, the NPCs still hated dealing with people like Ye Ci.
Ye Ci rubbed her nose and smiled as she looked at her own clothes. She strolled to the spawn point, looked around, and found the final position. Then, she closed her eyes and imagined that she had just been born. Then, she suddenly lost interest again. What was she doing …?
Ye Ci stretched lazily and walked to the back of the village. There were two tombs. One belonged to Andriel and the other to Tamra. Ye Ci walked to the tombs and sat down. She quietly looked at the tombs and recalled everything that had happened to her. She smiled and took out a bottle of wine from her inventory. She then took out three cups and placed them in front of Andriel, Tamra and herself. She slowly filled their cups and gently touched the tombstones to summon them.
"It's been a while, young one." Tamra looked at Ye Ci, then at the wine in front of him, and took a seat.
Andriel frowned as he stared at Ye Ci with a dark expression on his face. He remained silent, and stood his ground stubbornly like a tree. Ye Ci wasn't surprised by Andriel's reaction. She raised her cup and clinked it with Tamra's before downing the wine in front of Andriel's tomb, "Andriel, I know what you're thinking."
Andriel snorted and didn't say anything. On the other hand, Tamra smiled and looked at Andriel, "We're already souls. The path of the living has nothing to do with us. You have your beliefs, and she has her own choices. But we've shared a drink together. That's friendship. Everything else has nothing to do with it."
Andriel frowned and looked at Tamra. After a while, he sighed and nodded. However, it was clear that he was still worried about Ye Ci's identity.
Ye Ci smiled and said, "I'm here to drink with you. Even if we're enemies tomorrow, we're friends today."
Tamra nodded and looked at Andriel. Andriel was still conflicted between his beliefs and Ye Ci's choice. In the end, he sighed and raised his cup and clinked it with Ye Ci's, "I don't like your choice, but I like you as a person. So, let's drink."
Drinking with NPCs, especially with two hostile Soul NPCs, was actually a very interesting thing. It wasn't about benefits or choices. It was just about the wine and their friendship. This atmosphere made Ye Ci feel very relaxed. Fortunately, there was no one in the newbie village. If not, Ye Ci would have been surrounded. Fortunately, there was no one around, so Ye Ci had a chance to have a good chat with the two NPCs.
"I don't think you have time to drink with us anymore." Tamra raised his head to look at the dark sky before lowering his gaze to look at Ye Ci. The smile on his face was one of wisdom that came from years of experience. Even though Tamra was just a set of data, it was as if he could see through a person's soul. "So, why are you here today?"
"I guess it's to reminisce." Ye Ci put down her cup and leaned against Andriel's tombstone. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the two NPCs.
"Reminisce?" Andriel, who had been silent all this while, suddenly paused for a moment. He pursed his lips, "Isn't this the most common thing for us dead people? What's wrong? Are you doing it as well?"
Ye Ci smiled. No matter what she said, Andriel and the NPCs wouldn't understand. She waved her hand, "Let's drink."
As expected, drinking was the best choice right now.
When the sun shone on the Maacah Continent once again, Andriel and Tamra bid farewell to Ye Ci. In the end, Ye Ci was the only one left with three empty cups and two short tombstones. She wanted to ride on Ol 'Six and fly through the mountains and rivers that she had been through in the game. But in the end, she chose the place where she first entered the game.
She did not know why she had come to this place, but for some reason, she had a feeling that she had to visit this place. Be it to reminisce about the past, or to bid farewell to the past, she had to make a trip here. She sat in front of the two tombstones and picked up the wine jug in front of her. She shook it and found that there was still some wine left. She poured herself a cup and slowly lifted it up.
Ye Ci stared at the scarlet liquid in the cup and closed her eyes. No one could tell what she was thinking. It was as if she had turned into a statue. She stood there quietly without any signs of life. Ye Ci didn't know how long she sat there. She finally let out a sigh and poured the wine into her mouth. She put down the cup and looked into the distance. She said slowly, "It's been so many years, and I'm back here. I remember that the first time I appeared here was in my previous life. Actually, I can only remember very few things from my previous life. Maybe it's because too much time has passed, or maybe it's because the days in this life are too comfortable, or maybe it's because I'm getting older and older. In short, my previous life seems to be so far away from me. I don't even know if those days really happened, or if those days were just a dream in the end. "
Ye Ci's voice wasn't loud. It was almost inaudible. Her voice flowed out from the corner of her lips and disappeared into the air. Ye Ci lowered her head and poured herself another cup of wine. She knew that there were some things that she couldn't tell anyone. But she couldn't hold it in anymore. She had to say it even if no one could hear her. Just like the wine cup in front of her. She had to empty it before she could fill it with new things.
"That dream was so real. Now when I close my eyes, I remember how much of a bastard I was. I also remember the days when I was chased by countless people." As she spoke, she suddenly laughed. Looking up at the dusky sky, the corners of her mouth curled up. "I was really young and frivolous at that time. I thought that this was wanton happiness. But now that I think about it, behind that wanton happiness, what else was there other than bone-deep pain and regret? There seemed to be nothing left. "Ye Ci raised her cup again and poured the wine into her mouth," Fortunately, I have a chance to start over. It seems that I'm really a lucky person. There are so many people in the world who regret their mistakes. But how many of them can have their dreams come true? Therefore … "As she spoke, she filled her glass again and raised it to the sky." I don't know whether it's God or Buddha up there, and I don't know whether you can really do whatever you want, but I thank you for giving me a chance to start over. You let me, you let me correct my mistakes one by one. This is really the luckiest thing. "
After pouring the last bit of wine into her mouth, Ye Ci threw the cup away and exhaled a long breath, "After I was reborn, I felt that I was so lucky. I don't know if it's my obsession or something else. I can find my parents, my cousin, and my friends. I can finally fulfill all the regrets of my previous life. I thought this was the best ending, but you are really good to me. " Ye Ci curled her lips, "You also let me find him. I found the dream that I wanted to fulfill but couldn't."
The sky was getting brighter and brighter. The golden sunlight slowly leaked from the horizon, shining on every corner and everything. It was warm and bright, dazzling and beautiful.
"Tomorrow will be better. It'll be better than today." Ye Ci stood up and looked at the distant sky. The clouds there were plated with gold. She took a deep breath and smiled.
She came back here again. This seemed to be her starting point. From now on, she would go through every starting point. It might be painful, or it might be beautiful. But she would never forget the place where she first started.
Ye Ci, do your best.
Ye Ci, win everything.
