The baby's cry once made me think this was all a dreamlike illusion.
But I clearly saw it, that child who should not even have formed a Soul Crystal yet, but she could transform into a human.
She was so adorable, she would surely be as beautiful as her mother someday.
I couldn't understand what was happening.
Perhaps she heard her mother's heartfelt wishes? Because Xiaoyun tried to become human every day during her pregnancy.
But she never succeeded.
Until the last moment of her life, Xiaoyun finally transformed into the appearance she longed for.
Xiao Ni kept on crying, her weeping unstoppable. It was as if she knew her mother was about to die.
The words Xiaoyun spoke to me still often appear in my dreams.
With her last breath, she said to me:
'Sister, if we and humans... are truly mortal enemies, then why would the gods grant us their appearance?
Could it be that we are meant to protect them? You must think I'm foolish, right?
