MTL NOVEL 29: You've Done Nothing But Evil
The bright moon sat serenely in the frosty sky, painting the land silver-white. The hospital room was quiet, the atmosphere oppressive, as if even breathing had become heavier.
Ten minutes had passed since Bai Tu told Bai Yu about their parents’ death.
But Bai Yu still hadn’t spoken.
She held several simple envelopes in her hands, letters sent specifically to Bai Yu from the mother she had never met.
Bai Yu quietly opened these long-preserved letters one by one, reading the blessings written for her.
[Hope Little Yu can be happy and healthy.]
[Be good and listen to your sister, okay?]
[Mom will definitely come to see you, just wait a little longer~]
[Mom loves you.]
“Uh…”
Large teardrops fell one after another onto the letters, soaking the words.
Bai Yu’s hands holding the letters trembled incessantly, gripping them so tightly they crumpled, but she didn’t let go.
“Lies… it’s all lies! Why… Waaah——!!”
Bai Tu’s eyes moistened, but she held back her tears and hugged Bai Yu.
“Bai Yu, cry it out. Your sister is here with you…”
“Waaah——“
……
Ye Xing Lan, like an observer, witnessed the entire tragedy unfold.
The Star within Bai Yu was a fractured Star, no longer at risk of losing control.
A fractured Star refers to an individual whose internal Star has been partially damaged by uncertain factors.
After a Star fractures, its power can no longer be used, nor will it lose control again.
It will simply remain quietly within the person’s body until their life ends.
Ye Xing Lan remembered this point.
However, even after the Star fractured, the life force within Bai Yu continued to drain away.
Ye Qingya’s death seemed to only prolong the time until Bai Yu’s death.
Star researchers were unable to find an effective method to treat Bai Yu, and could only wait for her slow death.
Given Bai Yu’s current physical condition, she probably wouldn’t last many more years.
That’s how it was.
The story came to an end.
Ye Xing and Ye Lan fell back into darkness.
“What can I do?”
Ye Lan and Ye Xing’s expressions were somewhat bewildered.
She realized that even knowing this past, she couldn’t do anything.
She couldn’t restore Bai Yu’s health, let alone prolong her life.
Powerless, is that it?
Yes, indeed.
Ye Lan and Ye Xing silently clenched their fists, as if a fire was burning in their hearts.
She couldn’t accept it.
“I don’t accept this kind of story, I don’t accept this ending to the story!”
Ye Lan’s mind didn’t work quickly, and often she wasn’t clear about what was right and what was wrong.
But!
Even so, this time she wanted to change something, and she knew what needed to be changed.
Even if her power was minuscule, she had to make some changes to the story!
“Please…”
Just as Ye Lan made this resolution, the Star within her responded to her intense desire.
Ding!
A flash of white light.
Ye Xing and Ye Lan appeared separately in an unfamiliar place.
After a few seconds of surprise, they quickly came to their senses.
“Very good.”
“Thank you.”
They looked at the current time, which was just before Ye Qingya’s Star lost control and became a Star Eclipse.
Ye Xing and Ye Lan had both transformed into “real” beings descending into the story at this time.
And this was the time period that bothered her the most.
But now, they had been sent here by a mysterious force.
Ye Lan and Ye Xing both smiled, their eyes full of determination and courage.
“Let me help you fulfill your wishes.”
…
In the hospital room.
Young Bai Yu was sleeping in bed when she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, and woke up.
“Who…?”
The light turned on, and Bai Yu saw a black-haired girl standing at the door, staring at her with determined eyes.
Bai Yu didn’t know this person, but she felt this big sister was very cute.
Bai Yu cautiously asked, “Um… may I ask if there’s something you need?”
“Bai Yu, do you want to see your mom? I’ll take you to her.”
“Eh?”
Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to react.
“But… the doctor said I can’t leave the hospital until my illness gets better.” Bai Yu’s tone was already wavering.
She was considering whether to be a good, obedient child, or to follow this unfamiliar big sister to find her mom.
“Can you tell me who you are?”
“My name is Ye Lan, I’m your friend.”
“Friend…?” A confused expression appeared on Bai Yu’s face, her eyes full of doubt.
She knew the meaning of this word.
But the problem was, when did she get a friend?
She had no memory of it at all…
Ye Lan showed a friendly smile, greatly increasing Bai Yu’s trust.
“Your mom is on her way too. Let me take you to her.”
“Really?” Bai Yu’s eyes lit up, already becoming excited.
“I’m your friend, how could I lie to you? Come on.” Ye Lan reached out her hand.
Bai Yu carefully grasped this big sister’s hand, then was taken into her embrace.
“Hold on tight, we’re going to sprint now.”
“Mm…”
Ye Lan carried Bai Yu out of the hospital room in a princess carry, advancing towards the outside at extremely high speed.
Ye Xing had already gone to the other side to cause a disturbance.
She didn’t care what consequences might occur.
She wanted to change the ending.
At least not let that mother and Bai Yu be left with regrets!
…
On the other side.
Ye Qingya began to transform into a Star Eclipse.
Bai Yuan had already driven her a long distance.
The situation now was the same as what Ye Xing had seen before.
The surrounding temperature was bitingly cold, Bai Yuan was forced to land, and had just carried Ye Qingya out of the car door.
This place was only a few high-rise buildings away from the hospital where Bai Yu was staying. It would take just a few minutes by hover car, but they were intercepted here by the Night Watchers.
So…
Just as Xiao Jin and Bai Yuan made eye contact, before they could say a word, an angry, delicate voice rang out.
“Damn it! You evil Night Watchers! You’ve done nothing but evil!”
A silver-haired, red-eyed young girl appeared in everyone’s view.
She glared at the Night Watchers with an indignant expression, as if these Night Watchers had done something to incur heaven’s wrath and people’s resentment.
“??”
Both the Night Watchers and Bai Yuan were dumbfounded.
Where did this little girl come from?
A young Wang Chao couldn’t help but ask Xiao Jin beside him: “Who’s this little girl?”
Xiao Jin also had a confused expression, giving a quality response.
“I don’t know.”
After scolding them, Ye Xing walked over step by step, coming to the side of the mentally weakened Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan suddenly reacted, hurriedly gesturing with his hand for her to stop.
“Don’t come closer! It’s dangerous here!”
Ye Qingya had already become a Star Eclipse. Even if she was deliberately suppressing it, there was no guarantee she wouldn’t harm ordinary people.
Ye Xing stopped a few steps away, smiling slightly.
“Uncle Bai Yuan, Aunt Qingya, Bai Yu is on her way. Please wait a moment, she’ll be here soon.”
Hearing the words “Bai Yu,” both Bai Yuan and Ye Qingya reacted.
“Really?!”
“Who are you?”
Ye Xing smiled and answered, “My name is Ye Xing, I’m Bai Yu’s friend.”
“Friend…?”
Although the couple didn’t often stay by Bai Yu’s side, they were very clear about her situation.
At least they hadn’t heard that Bai Yu had made any friends.
And they had never heard the name “Ye Xing.”
But judging from Ye Xing’s serious expression, she didn’t seem to be lying.
A group of Night Watchers watched their interaction as if they were invisible, almost all of them with question marks over their heads.
This mysteriously appearing girl had disrupted their original plan, giving them a sense of bewilderment about what to do next.
At this moment, some Night Watchers noticed a figure rapidly approaching.
Looking closely, it seemed to be a black-haired young girl, carrying a small child in her arms, rushing in this direction.
“What’s that?”
