Meeting in a dream is actually a test. Think about it, even Solo Lawrence's memory can regard himself as a real person, so Laurel certainly has the emotions of a real person.
She would also be afraid and scared. Just as Hitzfeld was afraid that the truth of the ice lake was what he had guessed, when the moment she had been thinking about day and night was about to come, Laurel would also be afraid to move forward.
She had been watching Hitzfeld, and she had long seen that her daughter had a close relationship with the mature woman next to her. However, she did not dare to touch the girl directly in her dream, but instead tested Xia Yibing to see if she had any psychological burden.
This is a test for teaching, why should there be a burden?
If you want to take her daughter away, it doesn't matter what gender you are. It's just to see if you have the ability to accompany her, which is also for the good of both of them.
As for Xia Yibing's performance... Laurel admitted that she wanted to get angry when she heard that rebuttal.
Her temper was a little too bad. She attacked without asking clearly, which showed that her personality was far more extreme than that of ordinary people. This could not be explained by any experience. Laurel guessed that she must have had an unhappy childhood.
Because of the terrible trauma she suffered in her childhood, she has become closed off from the outside world. She subconsciously doesn't trust anyone, especially herself in the mirror. This woman named Shasha Imaar cannot accept "self-loss of control".
This would also scare her and even bring back her deepest nightmares.
Hmm...then their relationship is more complicated than I thought.
At first, Laurel thought that her daughter was in an absolutely weak position in this relationship. So the idea of testing the teacher at the beginning was more of a way to vent her anger than a test.
But she was a person whom even Lengdis had said was hard to understand. Although she was dead, she was able to plan across the boundaries of time and space. She could see at a glance that there were deep reasons for Xia Yibing's extreme reaction, and she deduced that this seemingly strong woman actually needed caress and comfort more than anyone else.
In other words, in the special relationship between these two people, Shasha Imaar is the one who needs Aisun Hitzfeld more.
Then Xia Sha should actually be the weaker party.
It's just that she is older than Aisuen, has more experience, seems mature, and is more deceptive.
Thinking of this, Laurel's resentment dissipated.
This was a change in her thinking, that is, she originally thought that "some wild woman whose true background was unclear had deceived her precious daughter", but after careful investigation, she felt that it was more likely that "her precious daughter had won the hearts of other women."
The difference was so huge that Laurel liked Xia Yibing more and more.
Xia Yibing had no idea what she was thinking. She was already 80% convinced that Laurel was really the girl's mother. At this moment, she just felt hot all over and her entire back was sweating.
It's terrible... I have done this and that with Aisuen, will she know? Will she forgive me after she knows?
Xia Yibing thought again: as long as you look at the aurora, it will be imprinted in your memory.
I probably didn't look at it much, right?
Thinking of this, she didn't even dare to look Laurel in the eye again, for fear that she would be able to peer into the depths of her memory and imprint the scene of her "bullying" the girl.
"Let me ask you." Laurel looked at her as she slowly approached, and she put away her smile and turned serious, "Are you willing to let me copy your memory?"
This is a necessary process.
No matter how good she is at judging people, she doesn't dare to say that she can see through people's hearts.
This is something that even God cannot do, so she must make a copy of Xia Yibing's memory and judge her character by reading her memory.
She would have to make sure there were no problems before she would approve of the two of them being together, and would officially choose Xia Yibing to be the girl's guardian on her way to the place of origin.
How can I agree to such a thing?
Xia Yibing shook her head like a rattle.
She didn't dare.
She was afraid that Laurel would kill her after reading it.
"Oh..." Laurel's eyes narrowed.
something wrong.
The more Xia Yibing shrank back, the more she suspected that she had misjudged the person.
"Annie, come here." She suddenly said.
Is Aisuen coming?
Xia Yibing looked up, because Aini was the girl's nickname.
But there was no sign of Hitzfeld, and when she looked up she met Laurel's eyes.
Those eyes seemed to have magic.
Laurel had brown-black hair and eyes of the same hue. Xia Yibing felt her consciousness being pulled into two brown-black whirlpools, and her thoughts began to run backwards uncontrollably, recalling everything she had experienced since she was a child.
It’s over.
The woman felt like she was falling into an icy cave, and her heart was chilled.
Her mother is equally cunning, but she is more than ten times more cunning than her!
The imprinting of memory has been completed, Laurel's eyes have returned to normal, and Xia Yibing has also woken up.
She glared at Laurel and saw that she was looking back at her, and her smile grew even wider.
"So that's it."
“There are many ways…”
Although he said it with a smile, Xia Yibing could tell that there was endless anger brewing in his words.
gudu~
She swallowed unconsciously.
"Xia Yibing, right?" Laurel regained her composure.
"According to the Sara people, you are a transcendent at the present spiritual level."
"But I think your spiritual power is still too weak."
"Let me help you improve it a little bit."
……
Meanwhile, Hitzfeld had almost recovered from her grief. She had completely accepted the cruel reality that Laurel was dead and that she was just a memory.
What is there to complain about?
If she had learned of her mother's death suddenly, like when she was facing Coldis and had no psychological preparation at all, she would definitely be much sadder than she is now.
But she had known about this for a long time, and her sadness came more from the regret that she could not let Laurel really see her.
In addition to the regret, she is more grateful to fate for giving her such an opportunity.
But just when she wanted to enjoy this moment and bury her head in Laurel's arms again, she was suddenly caught by Laurel and listened to her talking about some "common sense of girls" in a rather puzzled manner.
Things like "it's easier to suffer losses here" and "if you want to hold on to your partner you can't just obey and give, you also have to learn how to play hard to get."
The more she talked, the more outrageous it became. In the end, Laurel even started talking about how she had seduced Coldis in the past - her tone was so proud, she really felt that it was an incredible feat to make a heartless man fall in love with her.
I understand the truth, but why are you suddenly telling me these things?
Hitzfeld listened to Laurel's endless chatter with wide eyes and a confused look on his face, claiming that this was a "love book" and that "she would definitely be able to use it in the future."
"Well... Mom... I actually..."
After hesitating for a while, she decided to express her thoughts: "I just want to like her with all my heart."
Laurel paused, and for the first time looked at her sternly.
Hitzfeld was not afraid and continued to refute: "I don't think I've suffered a loss, because Xia also loves me wholeheartedly."
"Sometimes I even feel like she loves me more than I love her."
"She changed a lot for me..."
“But sometimes I just can’t do it…”
"She can give up her position and title for me, and even give up being Imaar's heir."
"But I still have to think about the Mechanical Kingdom, the Mother Tree, and a bunch of other things."
This is what Hitzfeld really thinks.
She always believed that love should be equal and based on mutual respect.
Xia Yibing has given so much for her, how could she not show any appreciation?
So she really doesn't think she's at a disadvantage.
Besides, in that kind of situation, Xia is obviously a girl too...it's hard to say who will suffer the loss.
"Little Annie, oh, my little Annie..."
Laurel hugged her in sorrow.
"I already know everything... You are just too kindhearted and always have so many concerns."
"You are not like me at all in this respect. Instead, you are more like your stubborn and sloppy father."
Hitzfeld forced a smile.
Laurel was right.
In this respect, her character is like her father's.
If she had followed her mother, with Laurel's ego, she would not have cared about any moral test the moment she recognized Coldis - she would definitely use suicide to force Coldis to give up suicide.
Of course, Lengdis also saw this.
It was because he understood his daughter and saw that she was similar to himself that he could say those words.
"You have your own ideas, so I won't say much."
Laurel stroked the girl's hair and put her head against her ears. The more she looked at the gray color, the more distressed she felt.
"Mom, can you tell me more about the past..."
Hitzfeld asked quietly.
She had already told most of her experiences over the years, and now she was simply curious about how Laurel and Coldis got together in the first place.
"Isn't what I just said enough?"
"I want to hear the more secret ones."
The mother and daughter were talking about family matters on one side of the mirror, while on the other side of the mirror, Xia Yibing was blown away again.
She was prepared. After all, according to the existing information, Laurel's memory was frozen in the ice lake at least two or three hundred years ago. The memory could be preserved for such a long time. In addition to being related to the treasure that fell into the center of the lake, the spiritual power of this memory must be very powerful. She felt that it should have reached the level of spirit possession.
That is Hiso-Grest in his prime. Legend has it that he could release his spirit at full strength enough to cover the entire city. How powerful was that will?
It was assumed that Laurel's spirit could be compared to Grace's, and Xia Yibing thought that she had overestimated her.
But when the real fight started, she realized she had underestimated him!
Her current spirit level was powerless against the opponent, and she had been forced to swing at Laurel sixty-two times since the fight began - she swung sixty-two times, and the Changxia Sword broke sixty-two times.
There is no skill involved, it's just sheer quantity.
As soon as Laurel had a thought, an unintentional force from the void would press down on her, and the ice blade and sword would break as soon as they came into contact. Then she herself would not be able to stand and would be knocked away by a powerful impact.
so horrible.
Fortunately, Changxia is the embodiment of her nightmare, and the blade can be infinitely condensed, otherwise she would not be able to withstand even a single blow.
No wonder she can control the Ice Lake Curse!
"that's it?"
Laurel walked towards her again, trying to provoke her into a counterattack with words.
"I will not hide it from you. The secret buried in the Arctic is very beneficial to Aisuen, but she cannot get it by herself. I need to find a helper for her."
Xia Yibing was silent for a moment, then said, "If you can't go... then it can only be me."
“You just need to have this kind of confidence.”
Laurel smiled with satisfaction.
"But your sword is still too weak."
"The knife light is too scattered."
"If you can't cut anything, what's the point of scattering so many rays of light?"
"You don't understand what is extraordinary!"
With one step forward, the blue sky instantly turned into darkness.
Xia Yibing felt a chill in her heart. She saw that as Laurel raised her leg and took this step, a green, blue and purple aurora suddenly rose in the dark night sky behind her. Xia Yibing had no idea how she did it. She just saw her swinging her hand and reaching out to grab the aurora in the sky, and she actually crossed a distance of tens of thousands of miles and picked it up!
