Bab 379: Chapter 379: Butterfly
...
"Hey, hey, hey, don't cry, okay?" Seeing the girl sobbing, Zeng Yi hurriedly persuaded. He hated it when girls cried in front of him, especially since they were in the middle of the street.
Now, passersby were all looking in their direction, seeing a beautiful and delicate girl crying, accompanied by a young boy.
To have such a beautiful girlfriend but not cherish her properly, making her cry, what a scumbag!
Disgusting!
Then, the passing pedestrians stared at Zeng Yi with contempt in their eyes.
This feeling made Zeng Yi uncomfortable, and he felt uneasy all over.
Unable to bear the gazes of the onlookers, Zeng Yi scratched his head, then reached out and held the girl's hand, and ran away with her.
The girl did not resist and allowed Zeng Yi to hold her hand as they ran together.
Soon, Zeng Yi led the girl to a deserted alley, stopped, and let go of her hand.
Turning around, he saw the girl still sobbing and wiping her tears.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." she kept muttering these words, and Zeng Yi found it hard to understand. Wasn't it just because she hugged him a bit too forcefully? He was the victim here, he didn't even suggest it, so why was she apologizing constantly?
Zeng Yi stood in front of the girl, feeling unsure of what to do.
"Um, stop crying." Zeng Yi didn't know how to comfort a girl, so he could only take out a tissue and hand it to her.
The girl knew to take the tissue, and Zeng Yi awkwardly stood there, waiting for her to finish crying.
After a while, the girl's emotions gradually calmed down.
Holding the tissue, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I'm sorry, I lost control of my emotions just now."
"Hehe, as long as you're okay." Zeng Yi rubbed his nose and said.
"By the way, you called me brother earlier?"
Zeng Yi remembered this and mentioned it.
Hearing this, the girl was momentarily stunned, raised her head, her eyes still red from crying, looking at Zeng Yi.
At this moment, her heart became flustered.
"Ah? I'm sorry, actually, you remind me of my brother, so I couldn't help it." she explained.
"Oh, I see."
Zeng Yi nodded. He carefully examined the girl in front of him and confirmed that he didn't have any impression of her.
However, someone actually looked similar to him?
In this world, there was someone with a similar appearance as him?
Looking at the girl's face, Zeng Yi couldn't help but feel a bit dazed.
If she said she was his biological sister, maybe it might be possible.
"By the way, what's your name?" Zeng Yi started trying to have a more familiar conversation with the girl.
"You know that I have a title called Sword Master of Tempest, but you might not know my name. I'm Zeng Yi. It seems like you are younger than me, so you can also call me Brother Yi."
The girl looked at Zeng Yi in a daze, then blushed and said more loudly, "Sakura! Sakura like the Cherry Blossom!"
Zeng Yi looked at the girl, blushing and trying hard to say her name, couldn't help but find it a bit funny.
But Sakura, it was a beautiful name.
Zeng Yi couldn't help but recall that incident.
"Cherry Blossom, my spirit is the Cherry Blossom."
"Cherry Blossom? That really is a beautiful spirit."
"What's the use of being beautiful? I don't have spirit power!" The little girl held the pink cherry blossom petals in her hand, her expression becoming frustrated, her eyes filled with unwillingness.
Coming back to his senses, Zeng Yi looked at the girl in the white dress, smiled and praised her.
"Sakura! It's truly a beautiful name."
"Really?"
After hearing Zeng Yi's praise, Sakura looked excitedly at him.
Zeng Yi nodded, seeing her confirmation, Sakura showed a joyful smile, like a blooming cherry blossom, delicate and charming.
"Oh right, do you have anything else? How about having lunch together?" Zeng Yi took the initiative to invite Sakura. His plan of sneaking away was successful, and Zeng Yi didn't want to return to the Spirit Hall so early. He might as well enjoy his time in the Spirit Hall City.
Because he made the girl cry, Zeng Yi felt a bit guilty, so he wanted to treat her to a meal as an apology.
"What? Invite me for a meal?" Hearing this, Sakura widened her eyes, looking unbelieving. "If it's inconvenient, forget it."
Sakura quickly said, "It's convenient! I'm just so surprised! Thank you, Brother Yi!" After saying that, Sakura familiarly took Zeng Yi's hand.
"Let's go quickly!"
Looking at the lively and cute Sakura, her excited demeanor, Zeng Yi couldn't help but feel like she was his little sister. He smiled indulgently, ruffled her silver-white hair with his hand.
Zeng Yi first accompanied Sakura to have lunch, then she pulled him around to explore the bustling Spirit Hall City.
They were together until the afternoon when they had to part ways.
Zeng Yi brought Sakura to a crossroad. "Is this enough?"
"Yes, thank you for accompanying me today, it's Sakura's happiest day!" Sakura faced Zeng Yi, her face bearing a happy smile.
"Then, Sakura, I'll let you go first. Goodbye, Sakura!"
"Goodbye!"
Sakura looked back with a bit of reluctance, waving her hand towards Zeng Yi.
Watching her, Zeng Yi also waved his arm, a gentle smile on his face.
In this way, Zeng Yi kept watching Sakura until she disappeared from his sight, then turned and left.
"Sakura, cherry blossom Sakura."
Muttering Sakura's name, Zeng Yi lightly sighed.
"If Luo Xiaoyu were still here, she would likely be around the same age as Sakura."
"What a pity."
Zeng Yi looked up at the sunset in the sky, feeling a sense of regret, then disappeared into the crowd.
...
In a certain place in the Douluo Continent, a girl stood at the edge of a cliff, looking at the sea under the setting sun, listening to the sound of the tides coming and going.
A beautiful sea butterfly flapped its wings and landed on the girl's slender jade-like finger.
"It seems like eleven years have passed."
"A butterfly flaps its wings, perhaps stirring up a huge storm in some unknown place."
"What kind of ending will unfold this time? Truly intriguing."
The girl looked at the sea butterfly on her fingertip and murmured softly.
"Go."
The sea butterfly flapped its wings, flying towards the crimson sunset, into the vast ocean.
...
Tomorrow, the elimination round would officially begin. On this night, Zhu Zhuqing's mind became somewhat restless.
After finishing dinner with her teammates, Zhu Zhuqing slipped away secretly, walking alone on the streets in the night.
In the quiet night, a gentle breeze blew, bringing a hint of chill.
Zhu Zhuqing walked alone on the road, enjoying the night and the tranquility.
She had arrived at Martial Spirit City, so the Star Luo side should have also arrived.
As soon as the competition began, the final trial would also commence.
Zhu Zhuqing thought about the fate her family had bestowed upon her, and she thought about her sister's face.
After so long, her sister's appearance had become somewhat blurry in Zhu Zhuqing's mind.
The competition was about to start, and Zhu Zhuqing once again chose a more challenging path.
The figure of Zeng Yi flashed through Zhu Zhuqing's mind. Lost in her thoughts, she looked down at the two swords hanging from her waist. Her hand instinctively gripped the hilt, feeling the coldness.
"Now, I should have the ability to resist."
"Zeng Yi, I will find you."
Under the moonlit night, Zhu Zhuqing's shadow stretched long, within the silent space, a touch of terror seemed to loom.
Zhu Zhuqing stood under the moonlight, the bright moonlight casting upon her, seemingly due to her spirit's mutation. The feeling of moonlight and starlight falling upon her made her feel perfect.
However, she didn't realize when a sharp, slender claw extended from behind her neck, resting against her fair, jade-like neck.
"After all these years, you haven't made any progress, little sister."
