Chapter 185: From Goddess to “Object”

Bai Yueling slightly parted her small cherry lips, gazing at this scene, unsure of what to say for a moment.

“It was you who granted me a brand new life. From now on, you are my eternal partner, and I will do my best to live for your sake.” Vicky whispered affectionately, looking up with a firm light shining in her eyes: “I hope you can forgive my past naivety and mistakes.”

Her voice trembled slightly, filled with earnestness and panic, hoping only to find a trace of forgiveness in Bai Yueling's eyes.

Now, she relied entirely on Bai Yueling to live; for her, Bai Yueling occupied almost the entirety of her life.

So she was terrified that Bai Yueling would abandon her because of the past conflict between them, throwing her back into the abyss of death.

Bai Yueling stood before Vicky and sighed softly, thinking to herself how there was somehow a feeling of PUA, even though she clearly didn't want it to be like this...

Could it be because the Dark Fall value reached 100%, combined with the biological instinct's need for her, that Vicky suffered such a huge mental shock all at once?

So she crouched down and gently helped Vicky up.

“I can forgive you, but there is one prerequisite.” Bai Yueling stared seriously into her eyes.

Vicky was slightly startled: “What condition?”

“That is, you must remember that you are not living for me alone.” Bai Yueling said: “Although I resurrected you, I am not giving you a new meaning in life. I want you to continue the life you originally had.”

“You should accompany your mother and sisters, you should properly apologize to your two friends, and you should save your own country in the chaotic future...

“You have many things of your own to do, rather than treating me like a deity as you are now.”

Hearing this, Vicky nodded as if she half-understood: “Then... what should I do?”

“No changes are needed, just be like before.” Bai Yueling's heart-shaped beautiful eyes were exceptionally clear: “Go back to being that third princess who is pure and cute on the surface, but cold-blooded and black-bellied on the inside.”

Compared to a doll that blindly followed her will, she still preferred a living person.

Even if doing so would increase the risk of her ending up with her legs in the air, she was willing.

“Is that so... I understand.” Vicky took a deep breath, gradually calming down, and smiled: “In the end, thank you, Little Bai.”

In that moment just now, Vicky had figured out a lot.

Yes, although the current Little Bai held an immense attraction for her, she shouldn't forget her original self because of it.

She was the third princess of the Rose Kingdom, and she had to continuously work hard to save the kingdom.

Moreover, she also recalled the scene from before when she was hiding under the bed, eavesdropping on Bai Yueling as she was conquered in turn by Shixila and Aiya.

At that time, Little Bai was such a weak, shy receiver, as if any big sister could toy with her at will.

Thus, Vicky clearly understood a truth—

Although she craved Little Bai, she didn't need to worship Little Bai like a goddess.

Instead, she should possess and use Little Bai like an object!

Just like Shixila and Aiya did.

After figuring all this out, the look in Vicky's eyes when she looked at Bai Yueling changed.

Bai Yueling didn't notice that another big sister had joined the battlefield; she was currently checking Vicky's current status.

【Name: Vicky Rose】

【Race: Human】

【Level: 41】

【Class: Soul Mentor】

【Description: The third princess of the Rose Kingdom, who was originally dead, but came back to life with the help of the "Priest Hero". 

Her own mental magic has merged with countless souls on the River Styx, evolving into a brand new ability capable of affecting souls.】

【Note: Even though her Dark Fall is complete, her danger level has not decreased, because she still wants to hypnotize you into her possession.】

Bai Yueling's eyes widened; she actually leveled up from 40 to 41... Does this returning from the dead even come with a class change?

But what was with this note? Why did Vicky still want to hypnotize her even though they had become partners!

At this time, Vicky said: “During the resurrection process just now, I seemed to have a dream. In the dream, I knocked Little Bai unconscious and sold her to an otherworldly traveler named 「Dawn Flower Princess」.”

“Huh?”

Hearing this, Bai Yueling's head felt a bit dazed.

Knocking her unconscious and selling her to someone else... why did this sound so much like the events of her being plotted against by Vicky in her previous life?

And she even dreamed of the name 「Dawn Flower Princess」, which was a famous big streamer born after the next version update of the World of Fate allowed live streaming.

It should just be a coincidence, right?

At the same time, Mingdie walked over, swaying her plump and soft hips, and said indifferently: “Your ‘system mission’ should be completed by now. It's time to return to your time.”

“But I don't know how to go back.” Bai Yueling shook her head: “I'm not even sure how I traveled here.”

Vicky, standing aside, was completely confused: “What time travel?”

So Bai Yueling gave a rough account of how she had come to the River Styx, which left Vicky in a daze: “We actually came to a thousand years ago?”

After listening to Bai Yueling's narration, Mingdie pondered for a moment, strange glints constantly flashing deep within her smoky-makeup-clad eyes, as if she were thinking about something important.

Then, she said expressionlessly: “That unimaginably massive corpse you saw before you came... should be the previous Goddess of Time and Space.”

“Ha?” Bai Yueling opened her small cherry lips, startled: “The previous Goddess of Time and Space?”

“Mhm.”

“You scrub big sister... don't just shut up and refuse to explain after saying such a world-shaking secret, okay? Do you know how much that drives people crazy!”

“I know, but I just like seeing your helpless, defeated expression.” Mingdie shook her head: “I won't reveal any information. Explore it yourself in the future.”

Bai Yueling grit her teeth: “Can the riddlers just go die already...”

Stirring up interest and then not explaining, it would be better not to say anything at all.

But since that skeleton was the previous Goddess of Time and Space, it was normal for it to carry some magic power that could alter time and space.

But... why would the previous Goddess of Time and Space fall beneath the Dragon's Tomb?

And hasn't the Goddess of Time and Space always been the same person? How could there be a previous one?

The more she thought, the more confused she became.

Before Bai Yueling could finish her thoughts, Mingdie reached out her right hand toward her again: “Give me the ring.”

Bai Yueling looked suspicious: “What now?”

“I'll spend a thousand years helping you improve this ring and return it to you in a thousand years.”

“Eh? Is this kind of operation okay? Won't it cause a time paradox or something?”

“It won't. The previous Goddess of Time and Space used to do this often.”

“So that's why you should die...”

Bai Yueling handed over the ring. Mingdie parted her mage robes and tucked it between the snowy white cleavage of her chest.

“If you want to go back, you just need to keep walking along the River Styx. The World of Fate has a unique repair mechanism that will automatically fix the chaotic time and space on your bodies and help you return to your original time.”

“Thank you, Miss Mingdie.” Vicky observed this mysterious necromancer and asked: “But aren't you curious about what happens in the future?”

“Not curious.” Mingdie shook her head gently: “All fate is already predestined. It's not something that can be changed by knowing the future.”

“Then we're leaving.”

Bai Yueling and Vicky turned to leave, waving goodbye: “Scrub big sister, after a thousand years, I'll come find you to get the ring!”

“Okay~”

Watching the backs of the two girls gradually disappear, Mingdie stood in place.

The breeze blew her pale long hair, the strands covering half of her face, and she sighed faintly.

“Originally, I wanted to launch a counterattack immediately and make this world even more chaotic...”

“But now it seems, I should wait until a thousand years later, after meeting you, to speak again.”

“Perhaps you can bring a better ending to this world.”

She stood quietly by the River Styx, watching the countless souls continuously dying in the war enter the cycle of reincarnation, her face remaining expressionless throughout, as if time would leave no mark upon her.
