Chapter 214: Chapter 209 Kiss

"Death?" Xiao Yi frowned, "You mean... you want to die?"

"Yes." Liliana nodded gently, "The dead feel nothing, so whatever the living do is merely for self-satisfaction. This world has no God, thus, there is no redemption. The only way to compensate the dead is to die. She and I are equals; I must repay with my own death."

Saying so, Liliana’s small hands tightly grasped Xiao Yi’s fingers.

"Brother Xiao, can you help me?" Liliana pleaded, "I... am just too cowardly, too despicable. I truly lack the courage to end my own life, so, can you help me?"

"..." Xiao Yi was silent.

Everyone knew that the response at this moment was of utmost importance, not to be taken lightly, and required serious contemplation!

All eyes were intently fixed on Xiao Yi, hoping he could provide an answer that could break through this impasse.

Clements and Nania too clenched their hands nervously.

What would Xiao Yi say?

And then, under everyone’s tense gaze, Xiao Yi seemed to have an epiphany as he answered:

"Oh! I see what you mean, you intend to make me a murderer, huh!"

Clements and Nania: "...Ah?"

[...Ah?]

Then, Xiao Yi, predictably, gave an unexpected response.

"...Eh?" Liliana couldn’t help but pause, "No! That’s not it, I just..."

Liliana tried to object, but then she fell silent. Her small hands that held Xiao Yi’s fingers hung powerlessly.

Because she too realized that what she wanted Xiao Yi to do would indeed make him a murderer.

Looking at the silent Liliana, Xiao Yi said, "Doing this is merely your way of escaping, throwing the burden of the past onto someone else, isn’t it?"

"But, but..."

Liliana’s small hands subconsciously gripped her skirt, as tears continued to fall uncontrollably.

"Those who are dead feel nothing, there’s no other way out for me except death..."

"Just as you said, the dead feel nothing," Xiao Yi looked at her and spoke, "Thus, your death would also be meaningless to the dead."

"Then...what am I supposed to do? Can you tell me?"

Liliana looked at Xiao Yi, tears streaming like fountains.

Watching her like this, both Clements and Nania felt a pang in their hearts, and the people in the live room couldn’t stop sighing.

[You’re asking Brother Xiao Yi this question, then you really did ask the right person.]

[Brother Xiao Yi isn’t some psychologist, how would he know what to say? Even a psychologist would find this difficult, right? Too hard, there’s no solving this!]

Then, Xiao Yi did not disappoint and gave a thoughtful response.

Xiao Yi: "I don’t know."

[I knew it would be this way, it’s just too difficult for Brother Xiao Yi.]

[It’s over, we’re doomed.]

"But..."

Yet, Xiao Yi gently held Liliana’s hand, saying:

"What to do can only be known by you yourself, how could I possibly know?"

"...Myself?" Liliana was stunned.

Xiao Yi continued, "No matter what, I am merely an observer and have no right to answer for your life. This is your own life, and you should know the answer yourself."

"I don’t know." Liliana shook her head with difficulty, "I really don’t know."

"Then, you must think," Xiao Yi said, "No problem, you have a long life ahead, and no matter how difficult the problem is, if you think it over enough, you will eventually find the answer. Your life is your own, and only you can find your own answers."

Xiao Yi’s words left Nania desperately anxious, "How can that child endure this? We, as adults, should help her think it through!"

"No..." Clements shook his head, "It seems not so, Anna has... begun to think."

"My own life?"

Liliana remembered how the girl she had killed once asked her what kind of life she wanted to live.

And at that time, Liliana had answered, I don’t know.

She had just drifted along, living without considering such things, so Liliana could only say, whatever others told her to do, she would do.

But then, she had chided Liliana by saying:

"Idiot, it’s your own life, how can you let others decide it? No matter the situation, your life can only be decided by yourself."

Liliana reflected on this and started to think.

Even if she were to cut her life short, her story wouldn’t continue, so what was she supposed to do?

Liliana didn’t know, she still didn’t know.

She could only look blankly at Xiao Yi and asked, "My own life, can only I think it through and find the answer?"

"Yes," Xiao Yi nodded gently, "and although I can’t make decisions for you, I can help you think, and once you have your answer, help you achieve it. That’s what I, as someone else, can do. So keep thinking, Liliana."

...

Tears didn’t dry up; they simply weren’t necessary anymore.

Liliana realized something.

This world has no God, so God can’t bring salvation. Only humans can redeem themselves.

"Brother Xiao, thank you." Saying so, Liliana wiped her own tears.

"No need to thank me." Xiao Yi waved his hand, "I actually didn’t do much. I just thought that since Clements and Nania could make it through on their own, you could too."

"This is really..." Clements and Nania didn’t quite know what to say for a moment and could only give a resigned smile.

Then, they approached Liliana.

This time, Liliana didn’t refuse them.

The viewers in the live stream finally let down their guard.

But they truly hadn’t expected Xiao Yi to actually succeed!

Could it be that he had secretly increased his IQ? Could it be that he was actually a genius?

At that moment, Eve joined in, "No chance for me to appear, and it’s over. Oh well, Xiao Yi, well done."

"Of course," Xiao Yi said proudly, "Don’t judge by appearances. I am a friend to all children. For some reason, kids really like me, and Eve, aren’t you a fine example?"

"You..." Eve was about to compliment Xiao Yi some more but ended up grinding her teeth in vexation, almost wanting to bite him.

"Brother Xiao, could you crouch down to listen to something?"

That’s when Liliana suddenly spoke to Xiao Yi.

"Hm? Sure." Xiao Yi crouched down and looked at Liliana, "What’s up?"

"Well..." Liliana put her small hands behind her back, looking inexplicably shy, "I want... to thank you."

"Thank you?"

"Yes... like this." With that, Liliana planted a gentle kiss on Xiao Yi’s cheek.

"...Eh?"

[???]

Everyone was stunned.

Liliana’s cheeks flushed red; she didn’t dare look at Xiao Yi’s face and said, "This is the only way I can thank you for now. When I grow up a bit more, I’ll thank you properly."

With that, Liliana, feeling incredibly shy, darted into Nania’s arms, too embarrassed to show her face.

"...?" Xiao Yi, puzzled, touched his cheek, paused for a moment, then said somewhat perplexedly, "...You’re welcome?"

"Wow~ This is... quite interesting." Clements watched the scene and revealed a meaningful smile.

"Xiao Yi, you little rascal...!" Nania glared at Xiao Yi, eyes blazing, grinding her teeth.

As for Eve, she said coldly to Xiao Yi:

"Xiao Yi, come here, I need to talk to you."

"Hm? What is it?" Xiao Yi, unbothered, approached Eve, "Do you want a kiss too?"

"Awww, wahh!" Without another word, Eve lunged at Xiao Yi like a little dog and bit him.

"Wahhh!" Xiao Yi couldn’t help but think whether he should consider getting a rabies vaccine.

After leaving shimmering droplets on Xiao Yi’s arms and neck, Eve finally let go, folded her arms, turned her face away, and closed her eyes, refusing to look at Xiao Yi.

"So, what is it?" Xiao Yi asked, confused.

"How should I know!?" Eve replied irritably, "You rule-level idiot!"

Xiao Yi: "?"

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but wonder when he had leveled up to "rule-level."

Watching this unfold, the viewers in the live room almost split their sides with laughter.

[Hee hee, I just love watching this!]

[Is this a battle between women? Quack! How fierce!]

[Ah, that was satisfying. Let me enjoy this a bit more, please! I’ll do anything!]

[But let’s be honest, enjoyment aside, don’t forget that the instance isn’t over yet. That’s the real priority.]

This comment brought everyone back to their senses.

Indeed, that was the key point.

Despite seemingly solving most of the problems, everyone still hadn’t encountered even a shadow of "Deserted Mountain Night"!

Just then, Liliana suddenly discovered that a page from a book had appeared in her hand at some unknown point.
