Chapter 666: Chapter 336: Inherited Premonition
Thud, thud, thud...
Baiyi paused briefly, just as he was about to continue crafting the Mythical Armor.
The laboratory door opened.
Baiyi saw Luoning walk in, looking a bit downcast, and greeted softly, "Brother."
"What’s the matter?" Baiyi asked gently.
"My master... is going to die," Luoning said dejectedly.
Baiyi furrowed his brow, "It’s okay, I’ll handle it."
"I feel a bit suffocated, so I wanted to come and stay with you for a while. My master talked to me a lot, and I respect her choice."
She paused in silence, mumbling, "I just can’t see my master’s future anymore."
"It’s okay," Baiyi patted her head, "Stay as long as you want, I’ll talk to her."
"Okay."
Luoning responded quietly, staring dazedly at Baiyi, somewhat lost.
Baiyi didn’t bring up the matters in the Illusion Realm and naturally resumed crafting the Mythical Armor.
His relationship with Luoning was actually very complex, unlike Diane, which was simple love.
With Luoning, things were much more complicated. Sensitive girls always have more complicated thoughts, but Baiyi knew very clearly that it wasn’t simply about love.
Or rather... a bit of indulgence in this era was more fitting.
Absolute dependency + intense anxiety + a girl’s indistinguishable feelings of kinship + the desperation of the era = the currently complex feelings.
Baiyi still had a lot of hope for the future, so with Luoning, familial feelings took the upper hand.
But Luoning seemed unable to distinguish these feelings, and combined with external influences, she mixed the two emotions together.
However, in this special era, Baiyi would not let too much sadness arise. Alchemists do not indulge in desires, but if two girls don’t mind, why should a grown man be conflicted?
But as they say, just follow your heart, the rest doesn’t matter much. Perhaps something unexpected will happen tomorrow, and if God suddenly descends, everyone might just die together, right?
Time always flies when crafting.
Baiyi wasn’t in a hurry to find Lady Aisha; he understood the thoughts of these old folks well, persuasion wouldn’t help.
Dawn Calendar: Early 1549, the construction of Celestial City was basically complete.
The remaining tasks didn’t require much help from Alchemists. Baiyi needed to connect the heavy machinery and start it up, then this enormous city, consuming a third of the Federation’s resources, would ascend the skies.
Over four years, all eyes were on Dongwu City, with the news of Celestial City flooding the internet.
Countless words of envy were directed at Dongwu City’s small household registry, but unfortunately, Dongwu City already neared a population of seven million.
It couldn’t accommodate more residents, and those wishing to immigrate here found it difficult to have a chance.
Perhaps when the floors rise higher, they might open up again.
Of course, Baiyi didn’t completely focus on Celestial City.
Instead, he came before Lady Aisha.
Luoning was also there; for nearly a year, she had been clinging to her master, just wanting to spend more time with her.
"City Lord, what can I do for you?" Aisha’s attitude had reverted entirely to the beginning, with even a touch of kindness.
Divination Masters are usually accurate about the premonition of their own lifespan. She could clearly sense her death countdown.
Six months.
Although she wanted to walk around, she ultimately realized that it was better to stay with the hope she saw in her eyes.
She couldn’t teach Premonition anymore, but she could continue to teach the disciple in other ways.
Human relations, stories from all kinds of experiences.
She was quite satisfied with her life, at least... everything was moving in a good direction, and her only regret was God.
Not witnessing the return of God was a regret for all the Dawn elders.
"Nothing much, just heard you were dying, so I came to see you."
"If death comes, so be it... uh..."
The kind old lady was about to express some feelings when she suddenly blacked out and fell toward Luoning.
Luoning: ???
"Is this... what you meant by handling it?"
Baiyi waved his hand, small alchemy inscriptions appeared, swiftly flying toward Aisha.
An array sealing consciousness formed quickly, and Aisha, whose consciousness was suspended, was placed into the Time Deceleration Zone of the Demon Realm.
A thousand years, no need to rush.
He nodded as a matter of course, "What else? I just came to see her, and she intended to give me a whole lecture about life. Would reasoning work?"
Luoning’s look of shock gradually faded. She thought for a moment, and surprisingly felt some agreement, "True, I talked to Master for so long and she still wouldn’t agree, reasoning indeed wouldn’t work."
"So you see, it’s not always necessary to reason things out. This world still follows the logic of might is right," Baiyi taught.
Luoning contemplated and nodded, "Isn’t this a kind of selfishness?"
Baiyi paused, nodded, "Yes."
"Well... that’s acceptable then, at least I don’t want to experience the pain of parting by death, if selfishness it is, then selfishness it is." Luoning stretched, looked at Baiyi, "Brother, are your tasks done?"
"Not yet," Baiyi thought for a moment, "I need to make a trip to the Capital City now, do you want to come?"
"No, no."
Luoning waved her hand, not interested at all, "I don’t really like their gazes, I’d rather stay at home."
Baiyi nodded, space fluctuations flashed around him, and when he appeared again, he was in the Capital City.
This place was more prosperous than three years ago, with all the Federation’s resources flowing into Dongwu City, but that didn’t mean other cities had halted development.
