Chapter 3020: Chapter 3018: End Credits Easter Egg
 

Loli Shi and Loli Zhu, each in their own illusions, were both taken aback simultaneously.

Hadn’t Senior Brother Song said they should be prepared to experience profound loneliness? So why was there a pleasant voice sounding by their ears?

Could it still be called loneliness if someone was there to talk to?

And furthermore…

Shi felt that the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

But after carefully comparing it to the voices of fairies from her memory, she couldn’t find any that matched.

Could it be the voice of a fairy from her memories that had undergone some change?

However, if it was Senior Brother Song who had sent them into this world, then perhaps the appearing voice was also a part of the process to “stabilize Dao heart?”

At the very least, it shouldn’t harm her or Zhu.

With this in mind, Shi calmed down and replied, “My name is Shi… If you, Fairy, can sense another person, that should be my junior sister Zhu.”

But her voice did not reach the fairy.

“Not replying? Or can’t talk?” the crisp voice wondered aloud.

After a moment…

“Eh, is this entering a dream? Is it Boss Song’s dreamland skill?” the voice seemed to recall something.

[Boss Song?] Shi was stunned.

In her memory, the one who would call Senior Song that… wasn’t it Lady Onion, who often gets her head pinched?

On closer inspection, this crisp voice did indeed bear some resemblance to Lady Onion’s voice. But this crisp voice was more mature, like the difference between a young girl’s voice and a mature woman’s voice.

What had happened to Lady Onion? Her voice had changed so much, becoming so mature and tempting.

“Since when could your dreamland skill carry others along, Boss Song? You are too biased, aren’t you? You’ve never taken me along… Be careful, or I might double the staff’s salary this month?” the mature voice of Lady Onion continued, seemingly conversing with Mister Song.

Shi puzzledly sensed her surroundings, but she didn’t hear Senior Brother Song’s voice.

Could it be that Senior Brother Song was conversing with Lady Onion outside?

“But, since it’s because of Boss Song, then I won’t sever this karmic connection. You two little ones continue… I’ll give you a little Easter egg at the end.” The voice of Lady Onion grew fainter and ultimately disappeared.

[Such a strange feeling.] Shi thought, puzzled.

It felt as though Lady Onion’s voice was transmitting from a distant other world, as if crossing through time and space.

Furthermore… what about an Easter egg?

After the mature and tempting voice of Lady Onion vanished, the whole ‘onion life plot’ slowly unfolded.

This time, both Shi and Zhu clearly sensed that they had become onions planted in the soil.

[Is this the onion life Lady Onion mentioned?] Shi mused.

They could feel themselves turning into plants, roots planted deep in the soil, immobile, only able to sway with the wind.

At first, Loli Zhu found it refreshing and amusing—the experience of being an onion was completely different from that of a human, and she was having a blast.

But as day turned into night, and one day passed…

Even the most fun experience becomes tedious and boring without change.

Loli Zhu quickly grew weary of this onion life experience.

But… this was just the beginning.

The onions that they had become, swaying atop a mountain peak, were isolated; no one to talk to, no one else to interact with.

Daybreak, sunset.

Day after day.

Loli Zhu was starting to crack… it was too boring, especially for someone as lively and active as her, this mundane onion life was a terrible torture!

She was now beginning to regret following Shi’s choice to make the same decision; Shi’s personality might adapt to onion life, but it wasn’t for her!

Actually… even Loli Shi couldn’t bear it any longer.

No matter how mature, she was still just a child. At first, she could silently calculate the time in her heart and see how many days she had passed.

But after a few months, she was completely unable to calculate time anymore.

Her spirit had been tormented to the edge.

[After all, those motivational quotes are deceptive, being a carefree blade of grass on the vast prairie, swaying with the wind… Why don’t you try being a blade of grass?]

Besides, had Senior Brother Song ever experienced such an ordeal?

No wonder Senior Brother Song’s mind and willpower were so stable.

Such an inhumane life experience, so vividly felt, if one could endure to the end, how could their mind and willpower not be stable?

During this period, Shi and Zhu both thought about breaking Lady Onion to escape this extremely boring and tasteless world.

But… it couldn’t be done.

Song Shuhang had also thought about breaking his own onion waist to commit suicide and get out. However, the dreamland skill didn’t have this function.

One year passed, two years passed, ten years passed, thirty years passed…

Shi didn’t know how much longer she had to stay in this world. But there are some things. After enduring the most difficult times, one could actually start to slowly adapt.

As a disciple from a major sect, Shi had an excellent foundation in cultivation. Compared to Song Shuhang back then, she adapted a bit faster.

Moreover, deep in her heart, there was a thought—Senior Brother Song had persisted to the end, and she must persist to the end as well!

After calming herself down, Shi’s mind and willpower began to Reinforce slowly with the passing years of Onion life.

On Zhu’s end, she was almost forgetting she was once human, after all, her brief human life wasn’t as long as that of an onion… Being an onion, one must be determined to be an onion, absorbing nutrients from the soil, sprouting upwards, and through photosynthesis, serving all of humanity.

Shi, I don’t want to be human anymore!

Compared to the stable Shi, Zhu’s mentality was somewhat similar to Song Shuhang’s last year.

Then, a hundred years, two hundred years, three hundred years…

The mind and willpower of Shi and Zhu had been polished smooth.

While they were still waiting for a far longer Onion life, Lady Onion suddenly sprang out of the ground.

She sprang out?!

At this moment, Shi and Zhu were moved to tears.

Originally, they thought their current mind and willpower could remain unshaken even if the sky fell, but when Lady Onion finally sprang out of the ground, they couldn’t help but shed tears of liberation.

The world is still so beautiful!

The illusion plot came to an abrupt halt the moment Lady Onion sprang out.

The plot set by the steel manifestation was to let the two youngsters experience three hundred years of Onion life. The upcoming plot was not suitable for children.

Shi and Zhu are still children.

Even after three hundred years of Onion life…

“Is it over?” Shi sighed heavily.

She felt that her mentality was no longer young.

On Loli Zhu’s end, it was the same; she felt she could no longer be as naive as she was three hundred years ago.

Shi, I don’t want to be an onion anymore!

[Senior Brother Song had experienced such three hundred years, but he could still jump around lively without much change in his personality, and his mentality was still as young as before… Is this an innate skill, or is there some secret to it?] Shi wondered in her heart.

The ‘Dream Entry Plot’ had gone to a black screen.

We can finally go out, right?

Just as Shi and Zhu were thinking this, the world that had already gone to a black screen started to brighten up again.

It’s… still happening?
