Chapter 746: Chapter 754: Do You Regret It?

Her goal was the top of the Queen of Loulan’s head. There and only there lay the Queen of Loulan’s heart.

If she didn’t defeat the Queen of Loulan, then even if she obtained the Flame Grass, it would be futile.

Because the queen could breed countless insects at any time. Hence, Bai Zhi could only truly resolve the situation by dealing with the Queen of Loulan herself.

But how to do it? Bai Zhi’s gaze turned to the Flame Grass. Could she use it directly? But with only one piece left, what about the others?

Absolutely not, she couldn’t use it. She mustn’t.

Bai Zhi’s golden needles kept shooting out until she had none left.

Bai Zhi’s gaze then fell upon this place—originally atop the dragon veins.

She closed her eyes, and once again bit her tongue, earnestly tuning into her feelings.

Seeing her like this, Moh Li immediately stood guard at her side.

“Where are you, where are you? Where can you be?”

“Bai Family’s Bai Zhi beseeches you to show yourself.”

After a long time, a voice seemed to emerge in Bai Zhi’s mind.

“What do you seek from me for?”

“For the people, for my country.”

“What is a country?”

“It is the place that gave birth to and raised me. Nan Country is my mother. Because of our country, we have homes.

Because of our country, we aren’t displaced and wandering.

Because of our country, no matter where we are, we can say fearlessly that we have our motherland.

Because of our country, when facing any disaster, I am not afraid or hesitant. Even confronted with raging floods or surging epidemics, I still believe in my country.

I believe with everyone’s efforts, all this shall pass.

My country is my faith.

My country is my sense of security.

My country is the source of all my courage.”

Bai Zhi spoke with unwavering conviction, each word reflecting her heartfelt thoughts.

Perhaps those who came after would not understand what had been endured back then; some things only existed in knowledge found in books. Yet, whenever the country faced a disaster, whether earthquakes or devastating floods.

Whatever it was, they could understand the meaning of unity.

There’s a saying: I will learn whatever you teach me.

This nation has given her love, hence she wished to repay with love.

“Do you love this land?”

“I love it with an exceptional passion.”

“Are you willing to sacrifice for this land?”

“I am willing.”

“Why?”

“Because I love it.”

Indeed, the reason mirrored why the forebears were willing to go to the battlefield.

Because they loved their country, hoping to protect it and the people within.

“Then I understand, go ahead.”

Bai Zhi opened her eyes and looked towards the Flame Grass…

How could the Queen of Loulan allow this? She charged forward, but Bai Zhi just smiled; what she needed wasn’t there.

In an instant, Bai Zhi moved in the opposite direction, took out the Jade Pendant, spat out a droplet of blood, and pressed it down. There was only one chance.

Suddenly, a brilliant light flared.

Bai Zhi, looking at everything before her, had only one thought: she had found it.

The land of the dragon veins naturally possessed something to keep it in check—inside was a Luminous Pearl, an incredibly pure Luminous Pearl.

At the moment the light shone forth, fear rose in the heart of the Queen of Loulan.

Bai Zhi took out the Luminous Pearl and struck it with all her might.

It shattered…

Everyone was stunned. Had Bai Zhi gone mad?

But Bai Zhi hadn’t gone mad. The center of the Luminous Pearl was filled with tiny beads.

These were not Luminous Pearls, but the juice of the stalactite—the real antidote.

It was also the poison of the Queen of Loulan. Bai Zhi took out two beads, put them in her mouth, and then directly injected them into the Queen of Loulan’s body.

The Queen of Loulan began to slowly vanish…

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi began to explain, “You all just experienced an illusion. None of that was real, haha.”

Everyone laughed and went along with it.

“Not at all, not at all.”

“It was all an illusion.” Yeah, right.

The Queen of Loulan died without leaving a single word.

And now, this place was about to collapse.

Bai Zhi looked toward that spot.

With genuine gratitude, she said, “Thank you.”

In her last dream, the reason why the Queen of Loulan turned into an insect was that she traded her soul with a demon. Despite being the guardian supposed to protect this place, she had betrayed the Divine Dragon.

She had confined his body here, but the Divine Dragon still refused to let them wreak havoc in the Human World and kept the place suppressed.

Bai Zhi looked around. It absolutely couldn’t…

If she took the Luminous Pearl, the place would collapse, and then the Divine Dragon would continue to be trapped and unable to soar the skies in the future.

Bai Zhi looked toward that spot and spotted the Flame Grass—it was that thing.

That very thing was what trapped the Divine Dragon.

Bai Zhi rushed over and grabbed it,

But the Flame Grass was poisonous and cut her hand, leaving Bai Zhi bleeding profusely.

“Moh Li, take the Luminous Pearl inside and go save people; that’s the real antidote.”

But similarly, she had to explain clearly, otherwise, what should be done?

Moh Li handed the things directly to Grandpa Xiao. “You guys go.”

Moh Li held Bai Zhi’s hand and looked at her seriously, “What kind of strange thoughts are you having? How could I possibly leave you behind?”

Even if it had been years since he’d seen her, no matter how long, he would never leave her behind.

Bai Zhi’s lips curled into a smile, but tears fell first.

This guy, Moh Li.

“I never intended to make you take responsibility.”

So, actually, there was no need for this. That was just a joke she made back then.

“But to me, a promise is worth its weight in gold. You must take responsibility for me.”

Bai Zhi didn’t know what to say anymore and just looked toward the Flame Grass. The two began to pull it together.

As Bai Zhi’s blood flowed down, the Flame Grass gradually withered. Yet, it continued to drain her blood unabated.

Noticing Bai Zhi’s complexion turning pale, Moh Li yanked it out in one swift motion.

In that instant. The collapsing house returned to normal once again.

Light came back to the land, and sunlight shone through.

They even saw streams of golden light flowing; surprisingly, there appeared to be rivers outside Loulan City—clear rivers, and greenery began to sprout nearby.

Everyone watched this spectacle in shock. When Xiao Qi and the others returned, they saw Bai Zhi covered in blood, collapsed in Moh Li’s arms.

“Do you regret it?”

“I don’t regret it. Being able to start over was a chance you gave me, along with the insistent wishes of Grandpa and the Ancestor.

I’m happy to have a second chance, to see and feel things I couldn’t before.

One can’t always live in darkness, amidst unwelcome thoughts. One must always step out, and take the perspective of an onlooker to see clearly.

I wanted to save everyone, to see you soar again. To see our Nan Country grow stronger and more formidable, feared by all.”

As a child, she envied other kids, their parents.

But as she grew up, she understood that no matter how much she envied them, they could never be hers simply because of her envy.

But her own family was different; even though Bai Da and Ye Xiu weren’t the best parents, her grandpa and aunt had given her everything.
