Chapter 1173 Greed

In the Second Herrscher's alternate dimension, Sirin's spear shot rapidly towards Theresa, but there was no sound of flesh being torn, but only "ding-dong-dong". Theophile, who had been watching the show, finally couldn't sit still and helped Theresa block the fatal attack.

It would be fine if it was someone else unimportant, but Theresa... had a closer relationship with Li, so Theophile felt that he should try his best to protect her.

"You want to betray me?"

Theophile's behavior of protecting Theresa made Xilin even more annoyed. She had already mobilized her power and was able to completely wipe out the man and the beast at any time.

"...No, I just think food shouldn't be wasted."

Theophile was silent for a moment, and then, without waiting for Theresa, who had escaped death, to react, her body suddenly swelled up and turned into a giant white wolf, swallowing it in one gulp.

"..."

Xilin didn't expect Theophile to kill so easily. She was stunned for a moment, then snorted, "You are really bold... I won't do it again."

"Okay, Your Lady Queen."

Theophile turned back into human form, touched his stomach, and pretended to burp.

Benares looked at Theophile and didn't find anything wrong. At least she could feel that the human girl was indeed swallowed by Theophile.

After the daring human was dealt with, Xilin turned her attention to the outside.

She saw that all the humans were gathered at the edge of the barrier, seemingly discussing something, and then some of them took the initiative to walk into the barrier.

"Out of control."

Xilin felt that she was being underestimated. The ribbon inlaid with the black core floated up, and invisible power burst out. Those humans who were still able to move forward with difficulty inside the barrier could no longer hold on and fell down one by one.

"Bella, you go..."

Just as Xilin was about to give an order, she felt her head getting dizzy and her eyelids twitching, and she couldn't help but close them for a moment.

However, the next moment, Xilin opened her eyes and woke up from the mental attack that came from nowhere.

The scene around Xilin changed.

She was no longer in her own alien dimension, and without Benares and Theophile, she appeared alone on the streets of an unfamiliar city.

"Illusion..."

Xilin naturally knew her situation and immediately activated the sixth core, trying to open a hole in this illusion.

"Xilin, what are you looking at?"

Two hands gently patted Xilin's shoulders. The familiar voice made her stop using her power. Looking back, she saw a face that made her cry.

Her long brown hair almost reached her waist, she was wearing a simple dress, and her face was gentle and familiar, exactly like her mother in her memory.

"Mother……?"

Xilin's voice was trembling and confused. Although a voice deep in her heart kept reminding her that all this was a false illusion, the long-lost warmth and intimacy still made her unconsciously reach out and gently touch the back of her mother's hand.

Her mother's skin was still soft and warm, just like she had touched it countless times when she was a child. Xilin's fingers trembled slightly, and she could feel the warmth from the back of her mother's hand, as if everything was so real.

Just when Xilin began to indulge in the beauty of the illusion, a faint force influenced her thinking.

She doesn't want to go out and wants to stay here.

The mother in front of me is also real, and my previous memories of my mother's death... are false.

Xilin's golden eyes dimmed slightly. Although she had the power to get rid of falsehood, she had no intention of using it.

"Xilin, what's wrong with you? Your eyes are so red... Oh, don't cry, is it because I was away for too long just now when I was shopping?"

There was a hint of heartache and apology in the mother's voice. She gently raised her hand and wiped the tears that were sliding down Xilin's cheeks with her fingers.

"No, Mom, I'm just... so happy."

Xilin felt the tenderness coming from her mother's fingertips, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Mom, I had a dream. In the dream, I saw you leave me forever... I was so scared, afraid that all this would become true."

Xilin's tearful eyes moved her mother. She sighed softly, reached out and held Xilin's little head in her arms, and comforted her softly: "Child, it was just a dream. Mom is always here and will never leave you."

"..."

"Not only me, but also your father and your sister. They will always be by your side, just like me. If you go home now, you might even see them playing the horse riding game~"

"Dad? Sister...?"

Xilin raised her head, and the two blurry faces in her mind gradually became clear... Did she actually have a father and a sister?

"Little Celine?"

Her mother's voice brought Xilin back to her senses.

"...Mom, I want to go home. I also want to see Dad and my sister. If I go back too late, they will worry."

"Has little Xilin's mood recovered?"

"Um...I'm sorry, Mom."

"Don't say sorry, little Xilin, you are my daughter, and your mother will always be with you. Rather, I actually made my lovely little Xilin sad, which is my dereliction of duty as a mother~"

"Mom, this is too serious..."

It was getting dark, and Xilin and her mother couldn't stay outside for too long.

So at her mother's strong request, Xilin climbed onto her mother's back, hooked her legs tightly around her mother's waist, and put her hands on her mother's shoulders to help her carry the newly bought cake.

The two returned home, and the not-so-large living room was filled with a warm atmosphere. The lights were soft and warm, shining in every corner.

"Dad, hurry up, I want to fly!" The joyful voice of the younger sister came from the living room. The cute white-haired little girl was riding on the back of the white-haired uncle, her little hands tightly grasping his shoulders, with a bright smile on her face.

"Okay, little princess, Daddy will let you fly right now!" The white-haired uncle's voice was full of doting. He shook his body gently, making his sister giggle.

"Dad? Sister?"

"Hmm? Xilin, you're back? How was it? Did you have fun shopping with your mom?"

The white-haired uncle lay on the ground, crawling closer with his little daughter on his back, "If you are not happy, then ride on daddy's back with Kiana, and you can also experience the real feeling of 'flying'!"

"Hubby, stop making trouble and get up quickly. Look at your dirty clothes. Go wash your hands. You can eat soon~"

The mother tapped "Big Horse"'s head gently, and the latter chuckled.
