"Back off!" A clear female voice rang out, and Yi Yi appeared in front of the crowd.

With a wave of her hand and muttering something, she created a chasm between the fire and the crowd—a barrier made by Yi Yi using magic.

A gust of wind, carrying heat, blew from the fire, opening the hood of Yi Yi's cloak and causing her long, silvery-white hair to flutter in the wind. Coupled with her clearly superhuman strength, sounds quickly rose from the crowd—

"That's a witch! It must be this witch who caused this forest fire! You damned witch, what other ways do you want to persecute us?!"

With someone initiating the discussion, others realized what was happening and began to condemn it...

"Get away from us, witch! Don't hurt us!"

"She actually set fire to the forest!"

"Witches should be burned at the stake!"

Despite appearing as a savior, she is condemned as a witch by writers and critics. Because of this prejudice, she is told to "die" when she comes to help them.

Yi Yi paid attention and, sure enough, it was the skinny guy with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face who was eager to shift the blame who spoke first and steered the tide.

She couldn't help but sneer, turning her head to meet the skinny man's eyes, her gaze revealing a fierce glint.

The skinny guy was startled, but quickly started stirring up trouble in the crowd again.

He grabbed a wooden bucket and started smashing it against Yi Yi, shouting, "Burn the witch! The witch is the source of all disaster!"

Following this example, other villagers also followed suit, throwing whatever they could find at Yi Yi, seemingly using all their strength to utter the most vicious words they had ever spoken.

"This is utterly unbearable!" Yi Yi raised her protective barrier and said to Cerebellum with a cold laugh, "This is what happens when someone with eyes is blind! Now I know how Xia Erda was wrongly accused!"

"Little Yiyi, don't be angry, don't be angry! We still have a mission!"

"I know, I'm not angry, I understand because the plot requires it!"

Even so, who wouldn't be angry after experiencing something like this?

Xiaonao dared not say these words out loud, only daring to mutter them in her heart. Before she could figure out how to comfort Yiyi, she saw Yiyi bounce the thing that was thrown back.

"Stop it all!"

A threatening shout silenced the entire room.

"You want me dead, you want me burned to death, is that it? Fine, as you wish!" Yi Yi's sharp gaze swept across everyone's faces, finally settling on the two people who caused this forest fire. She left with the words, "If the cancer isn't removed, it will continue to bring disaster. This is the witch's prophecy! As for you... just wait and see!" Then she slowly walked into the sea of ​​fire.

As she walked, dark clouds slowly gathered in the sky above her until she disappeared into the sea of ​​fire, at which point a torrential downpour began.

This downpour, which was originally a final act of kindness from Sharda, who was in despair, was instead described by the ignorant villagers as "a blessing from the gods because the witch was burned to death."

Standing in the rain, listening to the distant cheers, Yi Yi couldn't help but feel the same way Xia Erda felt...

My survival has no meaning, so let me die with this fire!

I hope that a kind person will inherit my mantle and my strength, so that it can be used to help those kind and warm-hearted people.

"Sister!" Suddenly embraced in a warm hug, the sound of someone panting as if they had just run wildly pulled Yi Yi out of her immersion in the role. Only then did Yi Yi realize that she had inadvertently become engrossed in the performance.

"Being too immersed in the story isn't a good thing," she murmured. Before she could process any more emotions, she heard a sob beside her.

"It was too dangerous! I thought my sister was going to abandon me! That's too much!" The boy, who had never seen him cry before, couldn't help but whisper his accusations in her ear.

In an instant, all traces of melancholy vanished, and Yi Yi quickly hugged Ai Yi in front of her, comforting her, "Alright, how could your sister be in danger? This little fire can't hurt you, sister is a witch!"

Ai Yi seemed to have stopped crying, but she was still sobbing, which gave her a headache. Before she could speak, she heard the boy say through gritted teeth, "Clearly, my sister has been helping them all along, those scoundrels...!"

Sensing the hostility in Ai Yi's tone, Yi Yi felt another headache coming on. She soothed the big dog, who was baring its sharp fangs and ready to protect its owner, saying, "Alright, what they do is none of my business anymore. We're heading to the main city soon, and I won't concern myself with these troublemakers anymore!"

"Just the two of us?" The softened voice had a slight nasal tone, muffled, which sounded quite cute.

"Well, just the two of us."

……

When Yi Yi and Ai Yi returned to the cabin, they were surprised to find the werewolf boy waiting in front of it.

Just as Yi was about to call out to him and speak to him, she saw that the werewolf boy seemed to have seen something terrifying, and turned into a wolf and ran away.

Yi Yi looked completely bewildered and asked Ai Yi in a strange tone, "Was I burned beyond recognition? Why did he run away as soon as he saw me?"

Ai looked at Yi Yi, who was tilting her head slightly to look at him. The fire hadn't even burned off a single piece of her clothes; she just looked a bit disheveled, soaked by the rain.

Her lustrous red eyes stared straight at him, allowing him to see his own somewhat disheveled reflection in her eyes, and nothing else.

Ai thought: Yes, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievably beautiful.

Ai opened her mouth, then realized what she was saying, her throat tightened, and she swallowed back the wild thought that was about to come out. She changed her words and said, "He always runs away when he sees my sister, I guess he's ashamed to be seen by people."

"Is that so?" Yi Yi still felt a little strange.

"Yes, that must be it." But Ai immediately interrupted, "Weren't you supposed to come back and pack? Aren't you leaving, sister?"

"Ah, right, we still need to tidy up and set up a legacy that only an extremely kind person could accept," Yi Yi said, walking quickly towards the wooden house.

A silver-white figure walked past Ai Yi, leaving behind a fragrant breeze.

Ai Yi looked at Yi Yi's soaked back, lowered her head to touch her own equally wet hair, smiled faintly, and then quickly followed Yi Yi.
