Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1334 - 764: Human or Witch? (Part 2)

It’s very quiet.

The only sounds in the house are the song of the bird Fei Yuan and the rustle of the wind through the gauze windows and wind chimes...

The fragrance of flowers in the air seems to have drifted through countless years...

As a blind person, the only things she can do are sitting in a chair listening to the sound of the stream, or carrying a watering can to water the flowers and plants...

She is watering now.

"Sui Yi"

Sui Yi hears Yan Jingan, who is sitting there reading, calling her, and she turns her head to respond.

"Just now, I called you twice."

Sui Yi is momentarily stunned, then furrows her brows... "I... I’m sorry."

Yan Jingan gives her a deep look and says: "Sit down... "

Sui Yi walks over, sits down, and something is placed in her hand.

"The fruit I picked this morning, try it."

Sui Yi nods and picks it up to eat... Suddenly, her wrist is grabbed.

"Don’t you realize... it’s actually a stone?"

Sui Yi slightly squeezes the thing in her hand, the texture... has already blurred.

Whether it’s cold or rigid.

In the silence, Yan Jingan observes the woman across from her, whose scars have healed without leaving a trace, revealing her beauty. She seems to think for a moment and then says something that leaves her amused.

"Then the dishes I washed a couple of days ago... wouldn’t be clean either."

Yan Jingan seriously considers it before answering: "Maybe... anyway, I haven’t used them, it’s always you."

After these words, Sui Yi laughs, and Yan Jingan laughs too.

The laughter of the two women perhaps could make flowers bloom.

But Sui Yi can’t see, and Yan Jingan won’t say.

Laughing, Sui Yi says: "Miss Yan, have you checked the pulse?"

Yan Jingan withdraws her hand and says: "In your flesh and blood, there is less and less blood... almost none, and no breath, eyes without disease yet blind, now hearing deteriorates, touch fades... I think your sense of smell and taste might start to worsen as well."

Sui Yi frowns: "Did you add salt to the soup?"

Yan Jingan laughs: "I don’t have that much time... Salt is a bit expensive, I added vinegar... Don’t you understand your current situation?"

Sui Yi plays with the stone in her hand, leaving a faint smile on her face, countering Yan Jingan: "Miss Yan... Do you know there exists an entity independent of humans, called Witch?"

"Sacrificial wizards? They’re humans too, without much difference."

"Not that kind... the true Witch, probably closer to your impression of monsters, yet not monsters... hard to classify, maybe it can be described like this..." Sui Yi thinks for a moment, extends her hand, this hand so beautiful and extraordinary, as if crafted by the Creator, flawless, yet without blood color.

"Able to touch beautiful flowers, but unable to feel their softness, can’t smell them... can see the dust floating above and below thousands of miles away, but can’t feel the difference between spring flowers, autumn rains, or winter plums drinking snow, drinking strong liquor feels like water, remain youthful as the years pass... immortal, eternally strong, can summon storms with a flick, sing Witchcraft praises to sacrifice the world... this is Witch."

Sui Yi’s finger rotates the stone, those unseen eyes deep like a pool.

"One day, this Witch made a grave mistake, entered a tower to be punished... stripped of everything, became a human."

"And now this human is deprived of human spirit, neither human nor Witch."

"Do you think... is it better for her to become a Witch again, or remain human?"

This kind of topic... is very strange.

Yan Jingan is pouring tea, the water gently flows into the cup like her thoughts flowing slowly...

A cup of tea filled to seven-tenths, she puts down the teapot, her tone is slightly indifferent and casual: "There is no good or bad... many things in this world often follow causality, cause and effect, Witch or human... aren’t they all you?"

"Actually, you’ve already decided, asking me is just to inform me of your decision."

Sui Yi touches the tea, picks it up and drinks, saying: "Thank you for taking care of me these days... I have to leave."

"Hmm"

Yan Jingan watches Sui Yi rise and leave the house... watches her head towards the deep mountains.

Her steps are quite slow, but still quickly disappear from sight.

Yan Jingan props her chin with one hand, looking at the tea in front of her, only a little bit drunk...

"Again alone... actually somewhat unaccustomed"

She sighs, returning to her room, intending to write, but suddenly sees several stacks of thick scrolls on the table.

Opening one of them, she finds some interesting content...

There are poems, songs and stories, profound ancient books...

The content varies, yet the handwriting is identical.

Elegant and graceful, spirited and poised.

Yan Jingan softly closes the scroll, her expression gentle, looking at the mountain forest outside the window.

"Can write books..."

More than three months later, amidst the deep mountains and old forests, in the center of a lake under the flowing waterfall, there is a stone in the heart of the lake, Sui Yi sits on the stone, her long black hair damp and draping over her shoulders, saturated by the mist, yet Sui Yi remains motionless.

In fact, she has been sitting there for over three months, motionless.

Today is the ninety-ninth day.

This day, the sky is clear, without a single cloud.

Suddenly.....

The smooth stone surface suddenly sprouts delicate green and tender roots... extending one by one, embroidering drifting patterns on the stone, sprawling across the jade-like beauty beneath Sui Yi, permeating into the lake surface, the root nodes suddenly bloom into flowers, then one after another countless flowers, elegant and beautiful, the white white, the pink pink, the blue blue, the purple purple, vibrant colors, blooming silently yet gracefully and cautiously, still rendering the entire ethereal deep mountain, and spreading along the water, even extending the waterfall.... have you seen waterfall flowers? Have you seen a mountain full of flowers?

Perhaps seen it.(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to recommend it, give monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
