Chapter 297 I am a little fish (52)
Jingli's ears turned bright red, and he turned his face away, not daring to look at Fenchun anymore.
This man was already exceptionally handsome, so beautiful that it seemed as if the Creator had painstakingly sculpted him. His fox-like eyes further accentuated his dashing charm, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.
When a face like that wears a gentle, affectionate smile, when eyes are fixed intently on you, and when words of tender affection are spoken, ten people would fall for it.
Moreover, this person is Mr. Yuan...
Jingli was thrown into disarray. The slight frustration she had felt recently due to not being able to directly participate in the world's progress was instantly forgotten.
Seeing him like this, Fen Chun's smile grew even brighter.
"What are you thinking about?" His flamboyant fan had reappeared in his hand at some point, and he gently tapped Jingli's head with it. "Haven't you noticed? Both I and Meng Li treat you differently."
This detail was indeed not found in the scene.
When he first met Meng Li, Meng Li was not in a normal state.
When he later saw Fen Chun, he noticed that the other party was frivolous and had an old acquaintance with Meng Li. In addition, Jing Li had Chun Xiaopian on him, so he naturally assumed that Fen Chun's attitude was because of Meng Li and Chun Xiaopian.
Later, after learning that Fen Chun was indeed part of Chun Qi, the doubts that had never even been born were thus forever denied a chance to surface.
If Fen Chun hadn't brought it up, Jing Li would never have thought of it that way.
But since the other party brought it up, Jingli followed suit and asked:
"why?"
"Pfft—" Fen Chun was completely amused by Jing Li's shy, confused, and serious expression. He unfolded his fan, held back his laughter for a while, and then said, "Of course, it was divine revelation that told us."
His smile in the painting was so radiant that he resembled a flower in full bloom, a flower that had previously existed only in paintings but was now truly blossoming.
"Divine revelation is always mysterious and never explained clearly. It just means I should keep an eye on Meng Li's situation and watch out for the little monster around her."
He closed the fan again, and gently lifted Jingli's chin in a fleeting moment.
This time, however, Fen Chun didn't keep Jing Li in suspense any longer, and continued:
"I only found out about the rest today, just now."
He pointed, indicating the direction of Chunqi.
It's that halo of light from before.
Based on what Fen Chun said, Jing Li roughly sorted it out.
The flow of time in this world should be relatively fast. Therefore, when Mr. Yuan's main body sensed the crisis, he took certain countermeasures, which led to the subsequent event of him shattering.
Burning Spring is one of the more special fragments.
He carried a special divine revelation, just as he himself said, that he should pay attention to Meng Li, and also to the little demons around Meng Li.
Fen Chun is an observer, and also a "task axis," when certain things happen—such as meeting Meng Li (before Jing Li arrives), meeting Jing Li, rescuing Chun Qi, Chun Qi waking up...
This divine revelation will become clearer, gradually leading Fen Chun to understand her identity and her mission.
“Naturally, this ‘omniscience’ does not belong to me.”
He sighed dramatically.
"At least I don't belong here."
This omniscience belongs to Mr. Yuan. Although they are the same person, as Fen Chun said, this omniscience does not belong to him in this world.
Jingli became alert: "What do you mean? What will happen if you find out about this?"
Fen Chun was happy to see Jing Li's nervousness, but he had no intention of making him worry.
"Nothing will happen. The Lingxiao Sect still needs me. That person is not one to disregard the rules here."
He used "that person" instead of "I," which made Jingli feel a little strange.
This shows that Fen Chun, up to this point, does not consider himself a "god" nor does he place himself above the world.
But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense; Mr. Yuan must understand himself.
In every world, he will not lose his original self because of the power to transcend those worlds.
“When you leave, this ‘omniscience’ will vanish along with it, and I will still be Fen Chun, and Chun Qi will still be Chun Qi.”
Jingli paused for a moment, then asked, "Where are his fragments?"
Fen Chun smiled gently: "Then we'll see when you can resolve the root of the problem."
Jingli pursed her lips, understanding the meaning of Fenchun.
As Fen Chun, he also needs to maintain his "righteous" identity and assist Meng Li in doing some things, while as the "demon" Chun Qi, he also needs to maintain the state of the fragments and protect those places that may be invaded by the cracks.
"Perhaps he wanted me to pass on a message to you."
"Ok?"
Fen Chun turned her head and looked out the window, ignoring the scenery inside.
"This matter is handled by the people here; you, a mere little demon, need not worry too much."
Jingli paused for a moment, a warmth spreading through her heart, and said involuntarily, "Is this what you wanted to tell me?"
Fen Chun turned back and smiled again.
He said, "Perhaps."
She smiled very gently.
What difference does it make whether it was him who said it or Mr. Yuan who said it?
"You've done a great job."
Jingli lowered her head, looking at Chunqi who was still unconscious, and stammered, "But I clearly didn't do anything."
The conversation flowed so naturally that when Jingli spoke of her own thoughts again, there was only a hint of grievance in her voice.
It's so pitiful.
Fen Chun delivered the food she had brought to Jing Li and said very casually, "But you helped Meng Li."
What Jingli didn't know was that when he came into this world, Meng Li was already close to going berserk.
Although Meng Li in the original timeline also experienced betrayal and hurt, she had already gradually built her own "Dao" and had her own way of dealing with the world, so these were beneficial to her.
But because of Sefosi's interference, those who obtained the "system" approached her with blasphemous and destructive intentions, betrayed her, imprisoned her, and harmed her...
It can be said that, in the current process, her path to enlightenment is based on hatred.
She used cruel methods to capture those cultivators who had committed countless evil deeds and took revenge. In the process, her life was also overdrawn, and her inner demons continued to grow.
Spring Fragment itself is not a demon, just like the other fragments guarding the crack, they are not demons either.
But the process of Chunqi turning into fragments is itself the process of falling into demonic possession.
The pollution that traps this world is nothing but desire.
The inner demons within are desires, and the external demonic energy is also desire.
As a being similar to a chosen one in this world, Meng Li's collapse would bring even greater harm to this world.
Jingli didn't do much; she merely helped Mengli as an outsider. It was Mengli herself who overcame her inner demons.
But this one is just too important.
Otherwise, Meng Li might have perished together with Du Chongshan before they even reached the Spirit Puppet Burial Tomb.
But Fen Chun didn't say any more of these things to Jing Li.
Silence fell between the two. Fen Chun brewed a pot of tea, and Jing Li ate two small pastries.
After Jingli had processed her emotions, Fenchun continued to convey the information she had just received: "The road ahead may not be the same as before."
He organized his thoughts.
“I don’t know how you got here, but this divine revelation means that the way forward requires you to go through the rift.”
Jingli swallowed the food in her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, "A crack?"
