While Gu Qing Shan agreed to Buttercup's request, she was feeling a bit emotional.
Looking at Buttercup, he felt that his emotions weren't quite right.
Buttercup, on the other hand, was very happy.
Because she was finally able to see Bali again.
Both of them had overlooked a certain thing.
Bali.
He wasn't a person who could be easily fooled.
Although they were only communicating through their expressions, Bali's sharp senses still picked up on it.
He was a Combatant who had traveled across billions of worlds, so he couldn't tolerate a single grain of sand in his eyes.
"What is it? What's the matter? "
Bali asked.
He followed Buttercup's gaze to Gu Qing Shan, then back to Buttercup.
What are they talking about?
A trace of doubt appeared in Barley's mind.
Buttercup became anxious.
She doesn't seem to be very good at hiding her emotions.
Her anxious expression was noticed by Bali again.
This time, even Meow noticed that her expression wasn't quite right.
"Of course she has something to do, and it's something very important"
Gu Qing Shan's voice came.
No!
Please don't say it!
Buttercup pursed her lips, looked at Gu Qing Shan, and couldn't help but shout in her mind.
Bali and Meow also looked at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan didn't avoid Bali's eyes at all.
In front of them, Gu Qing Shan tapped her Inventory Bag and took out a bottle of liquor.
— — -he remembered the golden statue.
While wearing nothing but his underwear and hurrying to save the world, Bali was still holding a bottle of liquor in his hand.
Because of that, there shouldn't be any problems with this.
Glancing at Buttercup's anxious expression, Gu Qing Shan raised the bottle to Bali.
"Reuniting is something worth celebrating, so Buttercup asked me to bring some wine."
Gu Qing Shan said, "In such a hurry, Buttercup didn't know what kind of wine to buy. She didn't know if these wines would suit your taste."
He pointed at Buttercup and smiled at Bali. "Look at her. She's still a little nervous. She's afraid that it's not your cup of tea."
Bali was stunned.
He looked at the bottle of wine and gulped.
"Buttercup is so thoughtful. You still remember that my brother likes to drink."
Meow was the first to smile. "It's a rare reunion. Some wine is indeed the best."
"Ahahahaha, Buttercup, you don't have to worry about alcohol." Bali suddenly laughed. "As long as it's alcohol, I, Bali, will love it!"
Buttercup looked at Bali and also smiled.
Gu Qing Shan took out a few glasses and poured one for each of Bali and Meow.
"Please give me a glass as well" Buttercup said.
"That's right, give her a glass. She's already 18 years old" Bali replied.
"It's been over a thousand years, uncle Bali. Back then, you never gave me any wine to drink" Buttercup angrily said.
Bali smiled and clinked glasses with her.
Meow also raised her glass to greet Gu Qing Shan: "It wasn't easy for you to send such a precious gift to me"
"You're too kind" Gu Qing Shan also raised her glass.
"Big sis Meow, thank you for taking care of me back then" Buttercup then raised her glass to Meow.
"I remember beating you up before" Meow said.
"That was because I wasn't obedient and tore your novel apart" Buttercup giggled.
…
As they drank, they began to talk about the past.
Everyone was happy.
As they talked, the wine also quickly went down.
After an unknown amount of time, a blinding flash of light appeared.
Gu Qing Shan looked back.
Only to see Buttercup's figure slowly becoming faint.
The spell's effect was about to end.
Buttercup looked at her body and regretfully put down her glass.
She nodded to Gu Qing Shan.
"Thank you, this is my thanks for helping me deliver this" she said.
Following her words, a scroll lightly fluttered in front of Gu Qing Shan.
"Ah, no need to be so polite" Gu Qing Shan hurriedly said.
Buttercup had already helped him once before, so in return, he helped Buttercup deliver the Pixie Crystal Flower to Bali.
They're even now.
All of a sudden, a female voice resounded in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
"No, I want to thank you for being able to see him one last time, to see how happy he is, for me, this is the perfect ending"
"Do you care about him a lot?"
"He is a fighter, someone who will never be defeated, I can't let him know that I've become a demon, that would be a heavy blow to him, one that would cause him to fall into sorrow"
Gu Qing Shan seriously listened.
Buttercup raised her glass and looked at Gu Qing Shan.
"Finally, let us have a drink as well" she smiled.
"Alright"
Gu Qing Shan took a sip, but couldn't help himself.
He transmitted his voice: "Listen, I have a few words to say to you."
Xiao Die sipped her wine and seemed to be listening.
Gu Qing Shan continued: "Some people care about their identity, their race, their background, and even what kind of school they went to, perhaps these things really are important. But Buttercup, do you know what I think? I feel that at the moment of the infinite worlds' destruction, a person who still holds gratitude towards another person is definitely not a demon"
"I hope that one day, you will be able to appear in front of him and tell him yourself, no matter what you turn into, your heart will never change, you will always be the little girl that he saved"
Buttercup stayed silent for a bit, then raised her glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Thank you"
Saying so, she waved her hand to put the scroll away.
Walking in front of Gu Qing Shan, Buttercup lightly placed her palm on his chest.
The dim light turned into a unique rune that entered Gu Qing Shan's body.
"A small gift"
Saying so, she returned.
A few lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
[You've obtained a mystical connection]
[This connection will not increase your strength, it will only help you once at a certain crucial moment]
Gu Qing Shan sensed it.
There didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary, but as he willed it, he was able to faintly form a connection.
This was something that he still couldn't understand.
Buttercup then turned to Bali and solemnly bowed.
"Uncle Bali, I can't stay here any longer, I have to go" she softly said.
"Hm, next time, bring the child with you, you'll always be welcome here"
Bali stroked her head.
Buttercup smiled at Bali, unwilling to part.
The light that gathered around her body crumbled, turning into tiny sprites of light that were blown away by the wind.
It was time to part.
Buttercup was gone.
The past, present, and future, the cute little girl would never return.
And the truth of this was only known to Gu Qing Shan.
He would remain silent for the rest of eternity.
Until one day.
Bali stood there for a while with a nostalgic smile on his face.
But he didn't know what Buttercup had gone through.
At this moment, he was filled with the joy of meeting an old friend again.
"Did you know, she was only 11 years old at the time, both her parents were dead, she was the only one I saved from that destroyed world"
He told Gu Qing Shan.
"She cried for a few days straight, it was such a headache, I had to use so many methods to calm her down"
Bali patted Gu Qing Shan's shoulder and excitedly continued.
Meow also smiled: "Just look at that, in just a blink of an eye, that girl had already become an excellent scroll user, and she even has a child of her own!"
"I'm also very surprised!" Bali agreed.
Gu Qing Shan didn't reply.
From start to finish, Gu Qing Shan didn't interrupt Buttercup and Bali's reunion.
At this point, the War God UI showed that there were only 7 minutes left.
The last 7 minutes.
If Gu Qing Shan couldn't stay here, the Destiny Quest would have failed.
Gu Qing Shan finished her glass and refilled it for herself.
