130. Xisita, May Your Next Life Be Carefree
“Eh? Mistress Chris actually knows the Witch of Calamity?”
Months ago, in the Stasia Temple, Latona heard Chris mention it during a casual conversation.
She was incredibly surprised to hear from Chris that the Witch of Calamity, who was once the disaster of the entire Sophiel Continent, not only knew Chris but also had a very good relationship with her.
They were good friends, or perhaps best friends, or even…
Chris smiled at Latona, keeping the last part a secret.
“But, Mistress Chris, why are you on such good terms with such a terrifying person?”
“Terrifying person? Ha…” Hearing Latona’s terrified and surprised expression, Chris chuckled softly. “In my eyes, she’s just a cute person.”
The Witch of Calamity, an extremely powerful witch who appeared centuries ago.
So much so that that era was historically named the Age of the Witch of Calamity. But that era also had another name – the Witch Hunt Era.
Chris did not elaborate on what happened then, how many factions joined the chaotic war. These ancient matters were not for her to recount. But it could be said that the Witch of Calamity was born in such an environment.
“Centuries ago… Awoo, then Mistress Chris is a grandma…” Latona, hearing this distant number, blurted out.
She had instinctively wanted to say “old woman,” but Chris’s glare immediately silenced her. The last word remained unspoken, and it turned into “wife” again.
“Hmm? You dare call your Mistress Chris ‘wife’? You have big ambitions~” Chris teased her, going with the flow.
What grandma? This is an old auntie! Oh no, she’s a young auntie, no, no, she’s a young older sister! The clumsy Latona repeated it in her mind for a long time, finally returning to the correct term.
Back to the Witch Hunt Era, even then, Beyond Beasts, like monsters, had already appeared.
These Beyond Beasts were a common enemy for the entire continent, regardless of witches, churches, nations, or even all races. They were beings from an outer world.
And the Beyond was divided into levels, with their respective leaders.
But ultimately, they all flowed towards a single highest-level Beyond, which was the core named [Calamity of the Beyond], the king of the Beyond Beasts. Its existence directly affected the existence and strength of the Beyond.
It was said that there were multiple Calamities of the Beyond, each continent having its own enemy, but no one had ever seen them.
And in between, the Witch of Calamity was the embodiment of the Calamity of the Beyond on the Sophiel Continent.
Everyone feared the Witch of Calamity. Everyone hated the Witch of Calamity because she brought disaster.
People fabricated many terrifying stories about her, recorded in various books. But in reality, people always thought crows brought misfortune and disaster, but no one thought that disaster actually had nothing to do with crows.
The terrifying Witch of Calamity was actually just a little girl. This was Chris’s statement.
A girl who didn’t know why she was a disaster, a girl who knew disaster was coming and wanted to warn everyone to leave quickly, but was misunderstood as carrying a curse.
Chris, in the dark night, coincidentally met her and came to know her.
She listened to the girl’s many confessions, her many helplessness and confusions. And she chose to accompany her. Even knowing her ultimate fate, she still wanted to walk all the way with this girl.
At the end of the Witch Hunt Era, in a tower, the Witch of Calamity lay weakly in her arms.
“Am I going to die? Chris-chan.” The Witch of Calamity looked at Chris’s fair and beautiful face, watching her looking out the tower window, and asked softly.
Chris looked at the vast army, tightly surrounding the small tower, and nodded silently.
“Probably. But no one can defeat you, and no one can defeat us. Neither the vulgar and pedantic church nor the hypocritical and ridiculous kingdom army can ever win.”
“All living beings on this continent, whether in the sky, on the ground, or in the ocean, whether in ancient times, now, or in the future, are not our opponents. Ultimately, the only one who defeated you was yourself. You chose to give up, chose to take away the calamity…” Chris hugged the white-haired girl tightly, saying softly.
The Witch of Calamity’s power was several times stronger than all the armies gathered before them. Destroying all living beings on this continent was merely a matter of her raising her hand.
But she chose to avoid conflict because she also wanted to end this life that shouldn’t have existed.
When the Witch of Calamity departed, all the armies besieging the tower would also depart. This continent would remain as it was meant to be.
Political struggles, racial oppression, and commercial competition would all continue to unfold in an orderly fashion.
However, most living beings in this world would gain an extra stroke of luck, having more space to survive, enacting their own vibrant lives.
“Then should we start preparing to say goodbye?”
“Although I don’t want to say this, perhaps. Do you have anything you want to say to me?”
“No.”
“Can I take that as you wanting a beating?”
“Pfft, Chris-chan, you’re so humorous. What I want to say… now that it’s truly come to this moment, I suddenly don’t know what to say.”
The white-haired girl looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, then looked at the bloodkin girl in front of her.
The daughter of God, the princess of the bloodkin. And her, an avatar of defiance, the Witch of Calamity.
What kind of combination was this? It was a bit too amusing.
“Then… I want to make a few wishes,” the white-haired girl said softly.
“Speak. I’m listening.”
“Mmm… let me think. If there truly is reincarnation. First, I must be a boy in my next life!”
“Why?”
“Because periods every month really hurt so much. I wish I could be a boy right away, and have a big dick, and pin Chris-chan down and pound her!”
“What are you talking about? You’re the one who’s pinned down.”
“Hmph… so annoying.”
“It’s okay, isn’t it good to be a bottom?”
“Hmph, who said I’m a bottom? I’m an emperor top! Wait until I become a boy first.”
“If you really reincarnate as a boy, I’ll be the first to find you, then turn you into a girl with the first embrace, and you’ll continue to willingly cuddle with me.”
“What! That’s too cruel! No! I’m tired of being with Chris-chan. If I reincarnate and am no longer the Witch of Calamity, but an ordinary human, then I’ll definitely go play with other girls!”
“Such a scumbag girl’s remark. What do you mean you’re tired of being with me? It’s only been a hundred years, hasn’t it?”
“Wow, a hundred years isn’t long enough…? Well, I’ve given you my whole life this time, so if I really do reincarnate, you have to let me go. I want to flirt with so many girls and cuddle with them to my heart’s content!”
“I…” Chris’s ruby-like eyes looked at the somewhat playful and cute white-haired girl in front of her. Her gaze gradually became melancholic. Many thoughts intertwined in her heart.
But in the end, she merely smiled slightly: “Okay, I’ll let you go… You have endured too much suffering, the loss of loved ones, the betrayal of friends… You should be free of these now.”
She had endured enough. If there was a next life, let her live it happily.
Whatever happened, whatever difficulties arose, Chris would help her resolve them, allowing her to live her new life carefree. This should be her compensation.
If your future is also destined to be inescapable from the misfortune of the Beyond, then I will certainly do my utmost to separate you from the Beyond, to break all ties, and to give you the happiest and most peaceful life…
The white-haired girl smiled, and with effort, lifted her fair arm to poke Chris’s soft cheek.
“But in this life, I still love the best Chris-chan in the world. I give all my love to you, letting you enjoy all of it exclusively. How about it? Isn’t that wonderful?”
“I will always remember you, and I will definitely find you.”
Chris said this calmly, but a hint of tears welled up in her eyes. Yet, the tears stubbornly refused to fall. The white-haired girl also knew this was her character, so admirable and lovable.
If you can’t find me, then don’t look for me… Anyway, there probably won’t be a reincarnation.
Even if there is, my curse and bloodline will surely follow me. At that time, it might again be a life that doesn’t feel happy. In that case, it’s better not to have one.
At least, I was lucky enough to meet Chris-chan.
And spent a hundred bitter and sweet years with her. Although she didn’t know if Chris would be lonely after she left, or if she would gradually forget, Chris said she would always remember her.
A person truly leaves the world when the last person forgets them.
So as long as Chris remembered her, it meant she had not departed, just that she could no longer chat with Chris, could no longer play with her, could no longer have new stories with her…
And in the end, for them to be able to talk happily as she left in her arms, without tears, that itself was the happiest thing. As the Witch of Calamity, she also had her own happiness.
Though she knew Chris would only cry alone after she had fallen into eternal sleep.
“Phew… So many wishes. I don’t think I have time to say them all. So, my last wish. I hope Chris-chan can also be happy forever! Always so beautiful and lovely.”
“Then I wish all your wishes come true.”
“Hahaha… Alright, I’m a little tired. I might not be able to hold on. Chris-chan, you should give me a deep kiss at the end, right? I’m your wife, after all.”
“Mmm… Goodbye, Xisita. May your next life be carefree…”
………………
With a boom, the bronze giant knelt before Ruo Xiaoxi.
It wasn’t a collapse from damage, nor a loss of balance. It was as if imbued with spirit, like a knight in armor, kneeling on one knee out of respect, submitting to her.
Submitting to their former king of the Beyond.
