Chapter 537 - Reveal The Truth
Chapter 537 - Reveal The Truth
Under the glow of the starry night sky, Elysia gazed at the shimmering aurora in the distance. She was just using her quiet time to pamper her eyes by the millions of colors in the sky, without needing to think about any problems or complicated things.
After a few seconds passed, she checked Elena's state in the Soul Realm. Her guardian angel was sleeping soundly on the soft bed while hugging her spirit.
They just completed a rescue mission to all of Oceanid's avatars. Thirty-two hours had passed since their investigation on the mysterious island sealed under the sea.
After some verification and discussion, the case was closed. The conclusion was drawn, the Ruvoid God's divine spirit had been completely eradicated. On a side note, it was just a small fragment of the real thing.
And now, they decided to rest in one of the snow mountains in the northern region of the Beastkin Continent. Tomorrow was the day they would search for the Snow Fox Clan's hidden village.
"..." Elysia smiled faintly and took a sip of her hot chocolate.
"Ely, you can catch a cold. This is for you." Evelyn came over and put a thick jacket over her best friend's back.
"Oh, thank you, Eve." Elysia smiled sweetly at the girl who had just sat next to her.
"You look like you're thinking about something complicated. Did something happen?" Evelyn sipped her hot chocolate and asked with concern.
"I'm not bothered by anything. It's just, I'm enjoying this quiet and peaceful time." Elysia then looked at the wooden house.
Rhea waved her hand in greeting as she noticed Elysia's gaze, but the others were busy with their mini-games. A snow fox and a white cat were huddled together on a pillow in a food basket. Two brown cats also huddled together in the basket next to it.
And then, a brown tortoise was digging several holes around the wooden house for unknown reasons.
Elysia waved back at Rhea. She then muttered softly and looked back at the aurora in the distant sky. "They're having fun."
"Beautiful..." Evelyn looked into her best friend's eyes in awe.
"Hm? What are you looking at, Eve?" Elysia looked at her friend in slight confusion.
"Your eyes are so beautiful, Ely. They seem to change color and resemble the aurora itself." Evelyn admitted innocently.
"Is it like that? Then, please look me in the eyes. Tell me what you see?" Elysia smiled and looked into her friend's eyes without blinking.
"Uhm..." Evelyn complied and looked her best friend straight in the eye. This time, she felt like she was intoxicated and wanted to keep looking at it. "Yes, perfect and beautiful color paradise. Why do your eyes have so many colors, Ely? I remember your eyes are violet, err... Purplish blue?"
"Hehe, who knows?" Elysia chuckled and pondered for a moment to stare into the distance. She then suddenly asked. "Nee, Eve, please tell me."
"Hmm?" Evelyn tilted her head curiously. She waited for her best friend to continue.
Elysia gulped down her hot chocolate and went straight to her inquiry. "What have you been thinking and feeling in the last few days with us? I would like to hear your honest opinion."
"Hehe, you have some chocolate left in your mouth." Evelyn chuckled in amusement and wiped her best friend's mouth with a tissue.
After that, she looked up at the distant sky without lowering the smile on her face. "But, yeah... It's been a very extraordinary experience for me. I feel I have a very special privilege to be here, with divine beings. I also get to see another side of you, Ely. I want to know more about you. Every time I get to know something new from you, I feel like you're like a bottomless abyys with so many unknown mysteries. And yet, I volunteer to fall into it to find out more."
Hearing that, Elysia felt relieved. It was as if she no longer had any worries about her human friends. She had thought that Evelyn and Ella might feel left out or perhaps uncomfortable. But that was apparently just her sensitive feeling.
"Hum-mm~ Please be careful with me then. You might fall too deep and can't find your way back." Elysia smiled playfully and went back to the wooden house. "Let's go back."
"..." Evelyn scratched her head in confusion. Yet, she immediately followed her best friend.
"Hi, welcome back, Ely. Would you like to play some mini games before bed? I want this soul fox to at least taste defeat at least once." Sylvia greeted with a smile, but she ended up pouting to stare at the Fox Empress.
"Fufu... I was just lucky. Why are you aiming for me? The Divines haven't lost in the last few rounds either, right?" Luna covered her mouth as she chuckled in amusement.
"Actually, everyone has lost before. But, okay. I'll play a round. Let's make Auntie Luna taste her first defeat." Elysia invited Evelyn to sit next to Sylvia. The two of them would join in the game before going to sleep.
"Fufu... This is going to be difficult. Lynn, you don't want to play anymore?" Luna smiled helplessly to look at her limp daughter.
"I don't have the energy anymore. The fun is gone because I keep losing, hm. You guys can play and I'll watch from here." Lynn just lay lazily on the floor. She then whispered softly. "It's obviously just a game of luck. Am I unlucky today?"
"Alright, we will now play eight player mahjong divided into two elimination rounds. Let's make this Fox Empress lose, Ely. I will be your ally." Sylvia chose her game of choice and put away the cards on the table.
"..." Elysia just smiled faintly. She didn't know what to say to this overly excited girl.
Even though it was just a simple game, it was still one that Elysia introduced, known as Elysia games. She could trap the Fox Empress into taking the bait as if everyone was allied to make Luna lose in the first round.
It was only about six minutes, but Luna had already lost without any resistance. She put her hand to her chin with a helpless expression. "Hum, I feel like I'm being ganged up on now."
"Hoho, that's of course. You won't be able to win even if you wanted to. It doesn't matter if you deliberately give in since Ely is here. Let's move on to the second round and we'll sleep~" Sylvia laughed contentedly.
After that, the second round started, and bedtime came at last. While some wouldn't really consider sleeping an important factor, getting some rest wasn't bad either.
Morning has just come to replace the night, and the sun has just shown a glimmer of light on the horizon. A fox girl was the first to wake up with an unexplained passion.
"Hum-mm~" Yuuki hummed as she put on one of her new dresses. She checked herself in the mirror, then smoothed her hair and checked her appearance.
"Today is the day the truth will be revealed." Yuuki squeezed her hand into a fist. She still remembered what the Fox Empress had whispered yesterday afternoon, and it made her eager to see the end of her confusion.
Because it was said that way, so it was clear that her mother was still alive somewhere. What prompted a mother to have the heart to throw a helpless little daughter alone on a remote snow mountain?
"I'll find out about everything today. Now, it's time to wake the Goddess Elys- oops... Ahem, I mean, Elysia and the others." Yuuki immediately covered her mouth and glanced left and right. She then checked the little white cat in the basket.
Fortunately, no one had woken up other than her. Therefore, she breathed a sigh of relief and gently woke everyone up.
"You look excited, Yuuki. We will all help you, but are you ready to reveal the truth even if it may be bitter?" Elysia put her hands on her lap with a tender expression.
"I have prepared physically and mentally for this day. Please help me to uncover the reality that has long been buried in the snow four hundred years ago. I want to get rid of my heart demon before I can turn over a new leaf to become a brand new me." Yuuki put her hand on her chest and bowed slightly with confidence shining in her eyes. She pleaded with Elysia and the divine beings.
Elysia then looked at Nell, Rhea, then Oceanid. They had no objection and would be happy to help Yuuki.
"Very well. Put this wooden house in your Space Bag and we'll be off soon." Rhea replied with a slight nod.
"Mm!" Yuuki smiled and nodded. She also suppressed the nervousness and restlessness in her heart.
After the wooden house entered Yuuki's Space Storage, they all got into the carriage. The magic carpet immediately took everyone flying to the snow mountains in the north to follow the location point that Luna told.
"Fufu, it still surprises me because there is a magic carpet that takes us flying in the sky. Please slow down. I'm afraid to miss the exact location." Luna covered her mouth while looking down through the window.
Nell didn't answer, but she sent a signal to her magic carpet below to fly at no more than twenty kilometers per hour.
"What about breakfast?" Oceanids avatar lay on the floor like a puddle of blue water.
"You can eat the snacks that the Goddess of Blessings bought two days ago. We'll have an instant breakfast." Sylvia unwrapped an instant porridge and poured some hot water there.
Oceanid's avatar looked pleadingly at Elysia, but the devil girl served the Masterchef with that instant food for their breakfast. He just sighed and went to get one for himself. "Well...."
