“Mmm…” Ada, big, candy house! One as big as a castle!”
“Fine, it’s agreed, then A candy castle” Shen rubbed Adaet the key?”
“Bang!” Ada out with his hand to pull Shen toward a corner portion of the garden

“Well done, Ada out the soil there
Cheng Cheng’s
It did not take long for Shen to dig out a small pit Wrapped around the root of a tree was a lock of red hair It was shining with light
“Using her own body part to create a projection, which maintains only whatever is necessary That is how she could hide it so well It even ed to slip past my senses” Shen carefully untied the red lock of hair and stood up Then, he turned to face Cheng Cheng “She is truly ser that had power, it would be incapable of stopping me Thus, she chose not to endow you any co shook her head “Like I said before, unlike the one you left here, I aive up all poasyou”
“I understand” Shen extended his hand to gently touch Cheng Cheng’s face “Is there anything else you want to say?”
“Whatever the reason may be, if you cannot tell me the answer, then at least answer this question froret it?”
Shen fell into a momentary state of silence He did not nod his head; neither did he shake his head “In hindsight, the me from back then had other choices to choose In fact, there were better choices Besides, afterthat decision, I failed to achieve the result that I had wanted No hed before slowly continuing, “We are not Gods We cannot predict what the future brings When standing before the forking path within history, no one could ever ht decision Everyonethe memories of what happened after back to the point before that decision was ret has never existed forrevealed a s out with her hand to place it on Shen’s hand, which he had placed on her face “Do it, then”
Shen slowly nodded and the lock of red hair that was on his left palnited In but seconds, it had been reduced to ashes
While the lock of red hair was burning, the Cheng Cheng before Shen slowly dissipated
Her dissipation began the moment the red hair burnt until only ashes were left

Only after Cheng Cheng had completely disappeared did Shen slowly put down his hand
A key was shining on the ground
“Sorry, Cheng Cheng”
Shen picked up the key with an impassive face and walked toward the door that had appeared before him

“Finally… … has the day colass cup lying on the ground With a gentle wave of her hand, the cup and the wet puddle of sand instantly disappeared
She stood up and the beach chair and patio u beach and sea disappeared, just like a drawing on a black board that had been instantly wiped clean
The space around Cheng Cheng beca, after her earlier actions, she had noteven a finger
After who kno long, a spatial rift suddenly appeared before her
A riding boot that sported various round to create a clear sound
