Chapter 841: Love Above All Chapter 200

Love Above All Chapter 200

Right when Lan Xi was lost in thought…

Zi Yun stood behind her and reported, “Goddess, His Highness Mi Xi has arrived.”

Lan Xi pressed her lips together, her tone gentle, “Let him in.”

Mi Xi walked into the Caixia Pavilion, looking from afar at Lan Xi sitting on the stone steps.

The woman was dressed in white, her hair flowing like a cascade, her slender figure wrapped in her dress, giving off a sense of solitude.

He knew that today she was going to make the most important choice of her life.

So, he came to see her, fearing she might feel too lonely and too sad.

It seemed his choice was right.

“What are you thinking about! Come over and look, I brought you fine wine.” Mi Xi walked over and casually sat beside her.

Lan Xi gave him a sidelong glance, then dropped her gaze to the wine bottle in his hand.

Mi Xi knew she liked it, so he opened the wine jug, saying as he did, “Using alcohol to drown one’s sorrows is fine, but doing so for a long time is just another way to numb oneself.”

“Being an immortal is dull every day. If I don’t even have something to numb myself, I might die of boredom.” Lan Xi took the wine Mi Xi handed her, raised her head, and drank deeply without hesitation.

“You have a point. But many mortals don’t even have time to envy us. For ages, how many emperors have wished to live a hundred years?” Mi Xi said, taking a jug of wine himself and drinking.

“What you’re talking about are foolish kings. Who indulge in pleasure, ignoring others’ lives and deaths. It’s impossible for such people to live long lives; even to not be struck by lightning is quite generous to them.”

Hearing her words, Mi Xi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“You! Your personality is just too straightforward.”

Lan Xi clicked her tongue, “What’s the point of beating around the bush? Might as well be straightforward. The end result is the same.”

“That’s true, after all, you’re the greatest. The ending is all up to you,” Mi Xi laughed.

Afterward, he looked at Lan Xi and finally asked the most important question.

“Lan Xi, have you thought it through? If you drink the last cup of Forgetfulness Water, you and he will miss each other for eternity.” Mi Xi didn’t want her to regret it. So, he still had to remind her.

As for the outcome, no matter what choice she made, he would always support her.

Lan Xi put down the wine jug in her hand, her long eyelashes concealing the hurt in her eyes.

Instead, it was the last time she drank the Forgetfulness Water, and she remembered those vague memories even more clearly.

This gave her a significant choice to make.

The last time she drank the Forgetfulness Water, she would completely forget the past and sever affection.

“If I can’t let go, what do you think the result will be?” Lan Xi said with a face full of sorrow.

In their hearts, they understood the severity of this matter more than anyone.

Does she have a choice?

If there were a choice, if given a chance to choose, she would never forget Ah Qing.

But the outcome forced her into a corner.

They say immortals are omnipotent, but now it seems this saying is truly ironic.

Lan Xi picked up the wine jug and drank a big gulp, choking so much that tears came out.

Before long, Bu Qiao personally brought over the last bowl of Forgetfulness Water.

Lan Xi clutched the wine jug, watching as Bu Qiao came nearer and nearer.

The bowl he held contained clear water.

Lan Xi was somewhat afraid; she instinctively shrank back behind Mi Xi.

In the end, she couldn’t hold back and leaned her head against Mi Xi’s back, crying out loud. “Senior brother, I really don’t want to do this. I don’t want to be alone in this Goddess Palace, facing the cold palace walls and the never-fading mist. Ah Qing said he would accompany me forever; I also want to marry him. I want him to play the zither for me…”

She said many things, finally bursting into tears.

At this moment, she felt that no matter how aloof or cold she pretended to be, it couldn’t compare to the grievance in her heart.

Why did fate arrange for them to meet, for their lives to be shared, yet they couldn’t end up together?

The saddest thing in this world isn’t love that cannot be obtained, nor is it that you love him but he doesn’t love you back.

Rather, it’s that despite deeply loving each other, they cannot be together.

Even though reaching out should be happiness, they forced themselves to bind their hands.

Mi Xi hugged Lan Xi, gently patting her back.

At this moment, she was like a child, crying heartbreakingly.

Love is a magical thing; no matter how strong a person is, once they encounter it, they become extremely fragile.

Lan Xi wasn’t afraid of pain, darkness, being hated or reprimanded, not even death.

But she feared being separated from Shaoqing.

Feared that, she would leave.

He would continue to be alone.

Therefore, Mi Xi also understood her inner pain.

How could his heart be any different?

He knew they were merely senior and junior for eternity; all he wished for was her well-being.

Bu Qiao stood holding the bowl of tea, momentarily unsure of what to do.

In his impression, Lan Xi had always been aloof and unfathomable.

She could toy with anyone’s life at her whim, not even placing the powerful Demon Lord in her sights.

She was carefree, calm, and noble enough to be looked up to.

Even when drunk, she appeared as lazy and sacred as a Queen.

But at this moment, she cried like a wronged neighbor’s little sister, sobbing, even making him unable to bear it, his eyes moist.

Not knowing how long Lan Xi cried, she seemed very tired, and after drinking the alcohol, fell asleep.

Bu Qiao placed the last bowl of Forgetfulness Water on the stone table and left.

He feared if he stayed, he too would cry out in sadness.

Under the brilliant starry river, the night of the Goddess Palace sat at the highest place in the heavens.

The Caixia Pavilion seemed to reach out and could pick the stars.

Mi Xi sighed, picked up the bowl of tea, and poured the last of the Forgetfulness Water onto the ground.

So be it!

If you don’t want to forget, then remember.

Isn’t he still there!

Should anything happen in the future, let him bear it alone.

The next day, when Lan Xi woke up, her head ached, and her eyes were very swollen and red.

Vaguely remembering, she seemed to have done something embarrassing last night, apparently crying in front of Mi Xi and Bu Qiao.

She only felt her mind was in chaos.

With Zi Yun’s help, she freshened up and walked out of the Purple Mist Pavilion.

However, she hadn’t walked far when something seemed off.

Something felt wrong today, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

She stood in the Caixia Pavilion’s courtyard, rubbing her temples, as if she couldn’t remember something, yet it seemed like things in her mind were so tangled up, causing her entire being to feel chaotic.

“Lan Xi!”

A slightly cool voice called, the sound magnetic and lovely.

Following the sound, Lan Xi saw a person standing at the doorway not too far away.

Dressed in black that trailed on the ground, fluttering in the wind, hair as black as ink cascading like a waterfall over his shoulders, that face seemed to have gathered the ice of millennia, with thick brows, looking at her with eyes full of affection.

Lan Xi stood stunned for quite a while before calling out, “Ah Qing!”

No, that’s not right!

Wasn’t she supposed to have drunk the Forgetfulness Water and shouldn’t remember him?

Now she recognized him at once, and all previous memories remained; just what was going on?
