So cold.

The afterlife is so cold.

Hua Xue was plunged into darkness, enveloped by an icy chill that made her unable to perceive her surroundings.

A gentle female voice sounded in my ear.

"Xiaoxue, wake up."

A voice she'd never heard before... Who was calling her?

"Xiaoxue, open your eyes. Don't be afraid, I'm here with you."

She... isn't dead yet?

Hua Xue felt her eyelids getting heavy, but she forced herself to open her eyes.

In a vast expanse of red flowers, a warm, blue-gold soul floated beside her.

Hua Xue sat up: "You are, Prince Rabbit?"

“It’s me. Although we’ve known each other for a long time, I’ve never been able to speak.” The soul orb drew closer. “Xiaoxue, my power is limited, and only here can I communicate with you.”

Hua Xue looked around: "Your Highness, where exactly is this place?"

Before Princess Rabbit could answer, a majestic voice rang out from behind Hua Xue.

"At the boundary between life and death, on the banks of the River of Oblivion."

Hua Xue turned around and saw an old man with purple patterns on his forehead and golden eyes standing in the sea of ​​flowers, his eyes filled with a look of reminiscence.

"I never expected that greed and anger would send you here." He frowned. "It's strange, I can't sense the presence of the River of Oblivion."

The God of Reincarnation, Wangchuan, is responsible for sending the souls that come here back into the cycle of reincarnation. If he neglects his duties, these souls with nowhere else to go will be left stranded here.

If this continues for a long time, the world will come to a standstill!

Hua Xue recognized the voice: "You are the magical grandpa in my mind!"

This grandfather only appeared in the last two years, and it was because of him that she was able to notice Mo Li's arrival and ask for help in time.

Thinking of this, Hua Xue's eyes dimmed again. Sister Mo Li, dressed in strange clothes, suddenly appeared here and was injured for her sake; she wondered how she was now.

“My name is Lingmou, little one.” Lingmou temporarily suppressed her doubts and turned her gaze to the Rabbit Prince. “However, you are the one who surprised me the most.”

Hua Xue asked in confusion, "Didn't Grandpa Lingmou also meet His Highness Rabbit?"

Prince Rabbit spoke first: "Gentlemen, come with me, I'll take you out."

"There's clearly no road here!" Hua Xue looked around in confusion. There were only large patches of red spider lilies here. Where was there any way out?

Lingmou swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, leaving only a sigh.

“Little one, don’t ask so many questions, just follow her. Right now, only she can see the only way out.”

The group walked through a sea of ​​flowers, with the rabbit princess, resembling a ball of light, leading the way, followed closely by Hua Xue and Ling Mou. After an unknown amount of time, the rabbit princess stopped.

"Xiaoxue, the road ahead is filled with the chaotic flow of 'Huaxue's' memories. Once you step in, you will enter her memory scenes as an observer."

"As an observer, you cannot change the established facts. Remember, whatever you see, do not linger in one scene for too long. If a 'path' appears, keep moving forward and do not let these jumbled memories distract you!"

"Otherwise, you will be completely lost here."

Hua Xue nodded vigorously: "Okay, Xiao Xue understands."

She's leaving! The outside world, and her sister Mo Li, are waiting for her!

Princess Rabbit radiated a warm light: "Little Snow, I can no longer stay by your side. You two, we... will meet at the end of the road."

As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Rabbit transformed into countless fireflies and vanished. Hua Xue took a deep breath and took a step forward.

The endless sea of ​​flowers vanished in an instant, and when she opened her eyes again, she had stepped into a completely unfamiliar place.

This is the world of memories belonging to "Hua Xue".

......

"Little Blue, tell me, what is the outside world like?"

In a windowless room, four-year-old Huaxue is alone in an exquisite pink-themed bedroom, chatting with a little blue magpie that is kept in a beautiful birdcage.

“Little Blue, the book says that birds should all fly in the sky.” Hua Xue paused for a moment, “But I have never seen you fly.”

"You must be bored staying here with me. But... you're my only friend."

The little blue magpie chirped twice in response, and Hua Xue smiled happily.

"Mom said that as long as I keep up with the treatment, I'll get better soon," Hua Xue said, holding the birdcage. "When I get better, let's go out and play in the world together!"

The little blue magpie shrank its head and then focused on eating again.

"Miss Huaxue, it's time for treatment."

The bedroom door opened automatically, and a medical robot walked in carrying a gene repair serum.

"Oh." Hua Xue skillfully rolled up her sleeves, revealing numerous needle marks on her slender arms.

She looked at the medical robot with hopeful eyes: "Um, Little Fish, after you get your injection, can you stay with me for a little while, just a little bit?"

Xiaoyu's reply was polite but distant: "I'm sorry, Miss Huaxue, this is not part of my job duties."

The slender needle pierced the blood vessel, injecting the medicine and causing a burning pain. Although it hurt, Hua Xue was already used to it and simply watched the little blue magpie in the cage without saying a word.

A few voices could be heard coming from outside the door, which was not fully closed.

"Ms. Hua, according to our professional assessment, Miss Hua Xue will probably not live past the age of seven."

"Doctor, is there really no other way? She's so young... I'm willing to pay any price to save her! Please..."

"I'm sorry, Ms. Hua, we really did our best. My personal suggestion is that you let Ms. Hua Xue have a happier time in the days to come."

Xiaoyu walked out of the bedroom with the syringe, closed the door, and shut out the sounds from outside.

Upon hearing the news, Hua Xue's eyes showed no sadness, only a deathly silence.

She walked to the birdcage and said softly, "Little Blue, it seems I can't be with you anymore."

......

A silver path of light appeared, guiding Hua Xue and Ling Mou towards the next scene.
