As time passed, Mingxi could feel their emotions growing increasingly anxious and unstable, but she continued to do her own things as usual.
She had no intention of comforting them.
Was she really not worried about the Time Realm disappearing?
Who wouldn't be anxious and heartbroken if they lost something so big?
It's no exaggeration to say that this matter was more devastating than a beggar losing a winning lottery ticket worth 2 billion.
The reason she remained calm was because ever since she contracted with the Time Realm, she had always been mentally # Nоvеlight # prepared to lose it at any time.
She knew better than anyone that the Time Realm had never guaranteed it would stay with her forever.
Guangguang hadn't either. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
She was grateful for the Time Realm's appearance and for her connection with it.
But sometimes, things obtained too easily aren't a matter of whether she wants to cherish them, but whether they will leave her just as easily as they appeared.
This was also why she never asked Guangguang why it didn't create a virtual image for itself and always appeared as just a voice.
Because she wouldn't develop too deep feelings for an AI butler that was only a voice.
Sometimes 'seeing is believing' is a protective color for human emotions.
She had always been preparing for the day they might leave without a word, so when it really happened, she wouldn't be anxious, wouldn't be in pain, wouldn't be disappointed, and wouldn't fall into the trap of self-doubt.
And then become completely demoralized and ruin herself.
Whether you call Mingxi cold-hearted or call her prepared for a rainy day.
"You Yan!"
Golden Yuanbao let out a deep, low cry.
Its voice was serious and cold, carrying a chilling warning.
Its sharp cry was directed at Little Silver Flower.
Because Little Silver Flower had made a mistake just now, failing to bring its target Ghost Nightmare over within the specified time.
If Golden Yuanbao hadn't noticed something was wrong and acted simultaneously with Little Silver Flower just as the hourglass was about to run out, managing to get a Ghost Nightmare itself, they would have already been eliminated.
Golden Yuanbao gazed intently at Little Silver Flower, whose eyes flickered, looking everywhere but at it, a guilty expression that proved it wasn't a mistake just now, but intentional.
It wanted to leave the Ghost Nightmare Land.
"You Yan."
Golden Yuanbao's face was ashen, its clear blood-red eyes filled with anger, and a hint of helplessness flashed through them.
It actually didn't blame Little Silver Flower.
Ever since they contracted with their Beast Tamers, they had spent most of their time in the Time Realm.
Especially it and Little Silver Flower.
Among the six of them, it, Little Silver Flower, and Lan Yue were the most dependent on the Time Realm; it could be said that without the Time Realm, they wouldn't be who they are today.
Even Little Silver Flower was attracted to its Beast Tamers and came following the pull of the Phantom Color Contract because of the Time Realm.
Otherwise, after being born for ten thousand years, it would rather turn into a fossil than hatch, so why did it specifically come to its Beast Tamers on its own?
Fate?
Golden Yuanbao felt that only its encounter with its Beast Tamers was due to fate.
The other companions had purposes.
In short, Little Silver Flower valued the Time Realm and wanted to confirm its existence as soon as possible, which it understood from the bottom of its heart.
But its intentional mistake was something it could not accept!
It took a deep breath.
"You Yan, You Yan?"
Silver Flower, I know you're anxious, you're uneasy.
But even if you don't consider yourself, don't consider Xiao Ye, don't consider the other companions, you should consider our Beast Tamers, shouldn't you? Can't you see the significance of the Ghost Nightmare Land to her?
Little Silver Flower was stunned.
It looked at Mingxi, who was silently watching it; the girl's eyes were always clear and bright, without disappointment, only the helplessness of understanding everything.
Mingxi understood Little Silver Flower better than Golden Yuanbao; of course, she had long sensed Little Silver Flower's intention, and she didn't stop it because she was willing to fulfill Little Silver Flower's wish.
Opportunities are rare.
But the psychological well-being of the pet beast is even more important.
How stable was Little Silver Flower's mental world?
But just now, its order crystal flickered again, all ten of them flashing, showing how much pressure the long absence of the Time Realm had caused it. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
The problem that Golden Yuanbao could deduce, how could Mingxi not be clear?
When she learned that Little Silver Flower was an ancient species, she knew that Little Silver Flower's purpose in contracting with her was the Time Realm.
An ancient mysterious race, possessing special sensory abilities before hatching, glimpsed a glimmer of life in her, which is why it sought her out.
Because only the Time Realm could collect the power of rules needed for its survival.
Without the Time Realm, Little Silver Flower would not live long either.
Mingxi looked at Little Silver Flower, who was so dejected for the first time, "Little Silver Flower, choice is not the result; choice is just the beginning, do you understand?"
The Time Realm had never given her a guarantee.
Naturally, it would not make any promises regarding Little Silver Flower's choice.
Just like the sunrise and moonset, the coming and going of the Time Realm were not something they could decide.
Whether human or Transcendent creature, everyone should be responsible for their own choices.
"Whether it's Little Silver Flower or all of you, I hope you understand that you can rely on others and external things, but you must never place all your future hopes on external things."
"Even me."
"There will always be a day when I leave you."
Mingxi didn't want to give a shocking lecture.
But some things had to be said; taking this opportunity to make some things clear was better than suffering in agony when they truly lost something later.
"Luo?"
"Asi?"
When Mingxi said these words, Little Silver Flower and Black Pearl reacted the most, asking if she was going to abandon them.
They were the youngest after all.
They still didn't understand that separation is one of the main themes of life that can never be escaped.
She touched the two ruffled little ones, telling them: "I will never abandon you.
But you must understand, I am human, and the lifespan of a Beast Tamers, no matter how long, is limited, while you are Transcendent creatures; even if you cannot break through to the God-level, you have long lives.
But I am different; even with your continuous feedback, I cannot live as long as you."
"You Yan."
Golden Yuanbao was Mingxi's first pet beast and had the deepest feelings for Mingxi, so it had already considered this issue.
The reason it had such a firm heart of a strong one.
A large part of the reason was for Mingxi, because it knew that only by becoming stronger could it continuously give back to its Beast Tamers.
Breaking through to Venerable-level, breaking through to God-level, and even breaking through to higher levels.
It believed that as long as it worked hard enough, as long as they worked hard enough, they would definitely be able to make their Beast Tamers live a long, long time.
Even, eternal life.
"Ding-a-ling-ling."
"Ling."
The bell rang softly.
Lan Yue and Golden Yuanbao's thoughts were highly consistent; it would absolutely not let its Beast Tamers leave them.
Emerald Green and Scarlet Jade exchanged glances, with deep emotion in their eyes.
Mingxi was touched.
Her eyes felt sore; her pet beasts were too considerate.
With such pet beasts, what more could she ask for?
She hugged Little Silver Flower, who was silently weeping beside her, with a mix of grievance, regret, and sadness on its face.
