The Journey of Qingqing Through the Mulberry Fields: A Bone-Carving Flower Extra
花千骨番外之青青陌上桑
by Xiao Xiao (绡筱)
Synopsis
“People say fate is just something people make up to deceive themselves. If he and I were fated to be together, why have I ended up like this today?”
“I have legs of my own. I don't need you to help me. Now get your grabby hands off me.”
“I just don't want the tragedy of Liu Xia to happen a second time.”
“What is love? I don't think I'll ever know, not in this lifetime. I was born without a heart, and her love was so humble that I had no need to take it to heart. You, on the other hand, are so foolish!”
“A thousand years ago, you severed my limbs. Have you ever experienced that heart-piercing pain?”
“Do I resent you? When resentment reaches a certain point, you stop wanting to resent anyone. Living out a quiet, ordinary life isn't so bad. At least it's much more peaceful.”
“Do you know what it's like to struggle helplessly in the dark? I had to remind myself again and again that I couldn't die. I still had a score to settle with you.”
“So what if you're a princess? If you can win three rounds against me, I'll spare your life.”
“Even foolishness has its limits. Tao Zhuoyan, are you really so certain he'll love you? When your plan is exposed, will you still make it back alive?”
“The search function of the Strange Decay Pavilion really is impressive. Since that's the case, Dongfang Yuqing, you can leave the Six Realms too. Hoping to find Hua Qiangu? Hahaha, you're unbelievably foolish.”
“Did you really forget? You certainly haven't forgotten the Sleeping Gu, have you?”
“Three lifetimes, three lives, the flowers of the other shore; on the red cliffs of the River of Forgetfulness, why cross the bridge of no return? With every longing, every yearning, the flowers of the Datura bloom; three lives gazing toward home, lost in white mist.”
“Hua Qiangu, I hate you. If it weren't for you, I would be the wife of an Immortal of Changliu. Zihua and I would be the immortal couple everyone envied!”
“Qiangu, will you be my little sister again in our next life? Let me make up for the love I failed to give you in these three lifetimes, all right?”
“Tell me! Tell me! Why did you have to push me into this? Yes! You're right. I spent over sixty years painstakingly laying plans, all to get revenge on you! Heaven and earth are unjust. Why do they have to torment me like this? You schemed and plotted, all so you could slaughter my entire family, didn't you? I've never seen a woman with a heart as cruel as yours! Why didn't you kill me? If you had, there would be no more despicable woman in this world to annoy and disgust you! From now on, this entire clan would truly disappear!”
“You really are cruel. Both times you fell from immortality, it was for her. What does she have that I don't? She's a princess, and so am I! Why do you always look only at her and never at me? You were the one who promised to marry me. Why have you never looked at me properly?”
“Yao Grass is forbidden on Kunlun Mountain. Stealing it without permission is a capital offense. As for your theft of the Shennong Cauldron to refine the urgent medicine, I don't wish to concern myself with that for now. Take care, and see things through to the end.”
“When you stand at the far end of the Bridge of No Return, could you look a little longer at the other shore, where the blood-red flowers bloom?”
“Mother Meng's Soup is brewed from her own tears mixed with the water of the River of Forgetfulness. Drink it, and you can forget love and all the tangled loves and grudges of this lifetime. Do you know why the water of the River of Forgetfulness is red? Because too many people in this world are consumed by obsession, and too many have jumped into it. That's why the water is red.”
“You crossed the Bridge of No Return again and again, while I suffered in the River of Forgetfulness. Perhaps the choice I made at the far end of the bridge a thousand years ago was a mistake.”
“Trying to provoke me? I suggest you first feel how many heads you've got, then consider whether you have enough to lose. If you think you have enough, go ahead and provoke me. I don't mind.”
