Chapter 127 A Moonless Night
The float swayed and bounced, and Naxida opened her eyes.
She said she just had a dream about Naxida's birthday, which is today.
In her dream, the Flower Knight and his attendants discovered her.
"Gods, we've finally found you! Everyone has been eagerly awaiting your arrival."
The Flower Goddess Festival has begun, and everyone is happily circling around her.
[Until Nasida boarded the float and waved goodbye to everyone.]
……
The float swayed and bounced, and Naxida opened her eyes.
She said she just had a dream about Naxida's birthday, which is today.
In the dream, blue chains were wrapped around the cage of the birds.
"O gods, you should have sought wisdom far more than engaged in pointless celebrations."
The Flower Goddess Festival has begun, and everyone eagerly awaits her arrival to join the festivities.
[Until Nasita came alone, bowing her head and apologizing to the dead of night.]
……
“Amu…”
"Am I a terrible god?"
In the dream, Nasita's voice carried a sense of vulnerability and helplessness for the first time. Although it was a question, her tone was filled with a dejected certainty.
Anne died, on the night of Flora's birthday.
The long-term torment of the Demon Scale Disease had left her body riddled with holes. Coupled with the intense emotional ups and downs and the relief of finally getting what she wanted, she fell into a coma and never opened her eyes again.
Despite the best efforts of the doctors they brought in, they were ultimately unable to save him.
In the quiet of the holiday night, the little girl left silently, leaving behind this world that was full of malice towards her.
What was she thinking in the last moments of her life?
Are you afraid?
Are you liberated?
Do you feel nostalgic?
Perhaps they are all of them, or perhaps neither.
Dear Grass God, Annie is going to sleep now.
Will you, like you do on every night when I'm in unbearable pain, drive away my nightmares and help me fall asleep?
Goodnight, Grass God. Thank you for your story. Annie is ready to have a very long and sweet dream.
Oh, by the way, happy birthday, Grass God!
I hope you have a sweet dream tonight.
Bye now.
Unfortunately, she was ultimately unable to personally place the flower crown she had woven herself on her divine friend's head.
……
Anne died, and her mother walked out of the clinic blankly, like a puppet that had lost its soul.
The doctor, noticing something amiss, went outside to investigate and found the spirit of a deceased mother buried in the river outside the clinic.
By the time the sage overseeing the Pure Palace left at night, and Narcida used the Void Terminal to manipulate Catherine to rush to the clinic, it was already too late.
In the long course of her life, she had witnessed far too many people pass away.
She looked at the emaciated body on the sickbed, the hideous scales spreading up the girl's smooth neck, but the girl was smiling, clutching a flower basket full of candy tightly in her hand.
She's having a sweet dream, isn't she?
But if she could have arrived earlier, and if she had acquired more knowledge, she would have been like the Great Kindness Tree King.
Anne, could you have a few more dreams...?
Even those candies that Annie treasured.
She didn't personally deliver them.
……
Finally, Mu Feng, who had been waiting for Naxida until late at night, helped with the burial of Annie and her daughter, and buried them on a beautiful hillside outside Xumi City.
There is no tombstone, no name.
There was only a lone little tree, a basket of bright Yalda candy, and a small bunch of flowers.
On the way back, Nasida remained silent, and Mu Feng also kept quiet, accompanying her home.
Over the course of five hundred years, the inferiority complex instilled by the sage had long since branded her as an "unqualified god."
Whenever disaster strikes, Nasita always likes to take all the blame upon herself, even if it is not her fault at all.
"Amu...am I a terrible god...?"
"No, Nasita is the best god."
Naxida looked up at the boy's earnest gaze, a fleeting look of confusion crossing her face.
From the moment they first met, the boy in front of her always held an unfounded trust in her, a trust that far exceeded even the confidence she had in herself.
She didn't understand where his confidence came from.
Clearly, if a god cannot even protect his own people, how can he be considered the best god?
"Amu, why?"
"No reason."
“Nasita did her best, didn’t she?”
Mu Feng smiled, gently took Naxida's hand, and placed a simple flower crown in her palm.
That was a gift from Anne to Narcida.
Did I...do I try my best?
Nasita stared blankly at the flower crown in her hand, her beautiful four-leaf pupils flickering, her slender fingers unconsciously tightening their grip on the branches adorning the crown.
"But……"
"No, that's not allowed, but we won't be providing date and honey tomorrow."
Mu Feng's expression changed swiftly. He grabbed Naxida's soft cheeks and threatened her angrily.
My God, you wouldn't want to come to my dreams tomorrow and not be able to enjoy the sweet date and honey candy, would you?
"Puch."
Hearing this threatening statement, a faint smile finally appeared on Naxida's downcast face. She suddenly stepped forward and gently pressed her cheek against Mu Feng's chest.
How wicked you are, my sage.
I will strive to become the best god, just as you said.
Mu Feng gently put his arm around Naxi Da's shoulder, his gaze darkly fixed on the distance of the dream, a sharp, cold light flashing in his eyes.
But someone always has to pay the price for this.
……
At the age of twelve, you suddenly announced to the public that you had made the decision to join the Order of the Church.
The sages of the six major schools of the Church Council, upon hearing the news, flocked to visit him, some even offering the generous condition of direct graduation without taking the Diliyasi curriculum.
The first person to visit was your mother's mentor, the sage Nafis of the Amridic Academy of the School of Life Theory.
However, having already made your own plans, you politely declined his invitation but instead recommended Tinaly of Daochenglin as his student.
[Nafis seemed disappointed, but out of recognition of your genius, he visited Tinari's home.]
[After their conversation, he was pleasantly surprised to discover that there was also a student in the distant Dochen Forest who was perfectly aligned with the theory of life. Therefore, Nafis happily accepted Tinari as his student.]
[After this, scholars from the schools of knowledge, simplicity, and subtlety came to your door, and you politely declined their invitations one by one, introducing Elhesen and Kavi to the tutelage of these sages.]
After seeing off the other five sages, the person you had in mind finally couldn't hold back any longer and personally came to extend an invitation to you.
You smiled and readily agreed to become their student.
The other party seemed very happy; you successfully obtained your graduation certificate and will soon be studying under them.
"Then, please guide me, my dear mentor."
"Mr. Hazard."
