Ye Luoli: The tides rise and fall, the moon whispers softly.

"Children." Just then, Xin Ling finally arrived.

"Fairy Xinling/Shopkeeper Sister!" Upon seeing Xinling, the Ye Luoli warriors felt as if they had found their pillar of support.

"Xin Ling, you still came."

"Mandora, I never expected you to be so despicable!" Xinling glared angrily, but was powerless to do anything about it.

"Manager, what should we do?" Qi Na asked, unsure of what to do.

"Let Fei Ling go." Xin Ling made the decision directly for the Ye Luoli warriors, but everyone was surprised by Xin Ling's words.

"Feiling, be brave and don't forget your mission!" Xinling instructed in words only she and Feiling could understand. Then she said to the other Ye Luoli warriors, "I have to go back to the city to protect our home. The rest is up to you."

With that, Xinling left Qingxi Gorge.

“Master, I don’t want to go to Wonderland.” Fei Ling threw herself into Qi Na’s arms. “We still have so many things we haven’t done together. We promised to be together forever. I can’t bear to leave you.”

“I’ll miss you too, but you can always come back after you go,” Zina comforted her. “I will always be waiting for you in the human world, waiting for the moment we can reunite.”

“Master, you don’t understand…” Fei Ling didn’t finish her sentence, but her heart was filled with bitterness.

Fei Ling remembered what Xin Ling had told her, and the mission she had been given since birth that destined her to leave. She felt that fate was truly a sad thing.

Master, this time, it may be goodbye forever for me...

“Feiling…” Qi Na noticed Feiling’s hesitation, but didn’t understand.

"Goodbye, Master..." With her back to Qi Na, Fei Ling uttered her last words, then resolutely passed through the mirror to the Fairy Realm.

Like Jianpeng, Qi Na deactivated her transformation, but as she watched Fei Ling disappear into the mirror, she felt a strange unease, as if sensing something.

……

"It seems it's time to go back." Shui Qingli saw that the farce had come to an end and that she had achieved her goal, so she didn't plan to stay in the human world any longer: "I suppose Mandora's situation should be over soon, so I need to hurry."

"Prince Water, are you going to stop Mandora from using the fake fairy's power to open the gate to the human world?" Qianqian asked.

“With this plan in mind, Fei Ling is, after all, an artificial fairy. Her fairy power will only close the door as Xin Ling wishes, but it cannot completely break the seal.” Shui Qingli naturally understood this last fairy, but she still couldn’t help but sigh, “This time, Xin Ling’s plan was indeed flawless, but Fei Ling has faced this fate since birth, which is truly…”

[No wonder Qi Na and Fei Ling turned to the dark side later on.] Qian Qian also sighed: [They were each other's only support, but Fei Ling was not only a shield for the sixth fairy, but also cannon fodder in Fairy Xin Ling's plan. Moreover, after losing Fei Ling, Qi Na was bullied. It would be hard for anyone not to turn to the dark side in such a situation.]

"Is this why you issued the fourth mission?" Shui Qingli asked indifferently as she opened the water passage back to the fairyland.

"Well... not really, it's mainly because of their later achievements." Qianqian's words sounded somewhat guilty, but unfortunately Shui Qingli didn't notice, nor did she understand what Qianqian was guilty about.

"It's truly a miracle that they, with such a mission, could ultimately become the pinnacle of combat power among the Ye Luoli warriors," Shui Qingli said, before passing through the water passage back to the Fairy Realm.

At this time, Shui Qingli, who was discussing Fei Ling's mission with Qianqian, did not know that he would one day be powerless in the face of an inescapable fate.

It is precisely because we cannot avoid it, escape it, or break through it that this is fate...

……

Seeing Mandora leave, Feng Yinsha and Wen Qian didn't intend to stay any longer. After letting Tie Dan go at Mandora's signal, they both disappeared from the spot.

The Ye Luoli warriors checked on Tie Dan and found that he had only fainted from fright and was not in any danger.

However, the Ginkgo Tree King, who helped the Ye Luoli warriors restore their fairy power, has fallen into a permanent slumber due to exhaustion of its power and damage from Feng Yinsha's wind magic. It may never wake up again.

Although the Ye Luoli warriors felt deep guilt and gratitude towards the Ginkgo Tree King, Jianpeng, the only one who knew plant magic, lost his magic after Liangcai left, and was naturally powerless to help.

The city is now in chaos due to Mandora's monster army, and they must return as soon as possible to protect their families.
