An ensemble story about Journey to the West
Wukong: Five hundred years... I've even forgotten what she was. An immortal? A demon? Or a human?
All I remember is... I have to remember her. Even if all that's left is the faintest sound, I have to remember.
Bodhisattva, teach me the tightening spell! I want to remember what she looked like.
Su Yue: Promise me you won't seek revenge. Don't die. Forget me...
Butterfly Demon: Being a little demon is nice. You can be silly and don't have to remember so much.
In these ten lifetimes, it seems I only did one thing: find you, then die with you.
I did that... so very earnestly, didn't I?
Don't be sad, Golden Cicada... No, let me call you by the name you have in this life. Master Xuanzang.
You seek the scriptures to save all living beings.
But look: you couldn't even save this foolish little demon right in front of you, the one who's followed you for ten lifetimes. And you... didn't need to save me, either.
I loved you for ten lifetimes. That is my fulfillment, not your tribulation.
It's just...
It's just that in the next life, I can no longer be a butterfly, or anything else that can fly and seek you out.
My wings, my soul, that little bit of obsession I had... I burned it all away for you in this life.
This time, it's truly... goodbye.
You must go save all living beings.
And this insignificant wisp of mine...
At last, saved myself.
In the next life... I can't be a butterfly.
A butterfly's life
is too short...
and hurts too much...
Note: Chapters 3 to 28 of Volume 1 are flashbacks. If you don't like flashback chapters, you can skip to Chapter 29, where the Journey to the West story begins.
When I read the first chapter, I was stunned for more than ten minutes. I gave this five stars. Afterwards, I felt that the emotions were written too realistically and delicately. The dialogues were not common in online novels. I don't know how to describe the dialogue style. I just felt that the dialogues were well written.
