Chapter 141: Radiant Glow

“Then, Sister Chelsea, goodbye.”

Under the clear blue sky, waves crashed against the rocks at the shore. A silver-haired girl stood atop a cliff by the sea, bidding farewell to the person before her.

She wore a white dress with a light blue neckline, cuffs, and lace, with a simple blue ribbon around her waist, outlining her slender figure. The hem of her dress was slightly longer than her knees, fluttering in the sea breeze. The edges of her skirt had intricate star patterns, both hollowed out and dyed in blue, creating a look that was not overly ornate yet very attractive.

After concluding negotiations and establishing the new Veregha Alliance, Loran Hill selected a batch of outstanding individuals from the guild to form the future brain of the Kallithea organization. They would make decisions and handle future affairs, and their performance would be evaluated annually, with the most capable taking precedence.

After laying out a three-year development plan, Loran Hill finished handing over responsibilities and it was time to part ways.

“Lady Lacy, although we’ve only been together for half a year, both I and the others in Kallithea have deeply remembered you. You have profoundly changed this guild, and it’s hard to imagine how we will move forward without you.”

Chelsea seemed to have much to say. She held down her maid’s dress, which was constantly fluttering in the sea breeze, and spoke earnestly.

“Though everyone respects your decision, and we understand we shouldn’t force you to stay, we hope very much that you will visit us often.”

“You will always be the young lady of Kallithea, and forever our guiding star.” She bowed deeply.

“Don’t praise me like that, Sister Chelsea,” Loran Hill did not want the farewell to be so heavy.

“I will remember everyone, remember the warmth and kindness you all showed me.”

“There’s no need to worry about me. I will be fine and will come back to see everyone. Seeing Chelsea’s reluctant appearance, she hugged the head maid who usually took care of her, spoke up for her, and protected her, feeling a bit reluctant herself. She promised to return and not disappear after leaving.

The head maid gave her another round of instructions and inquiries, asking if she had taken everything prepared for her and the gifts given by the guild.

Loran Hill nodded patiently, jingling the storage bracelet on her wrist, responding one by one to the somewhat nagging head maid.

Finally, she stood in the sea breeze, smoothing her disheveled bangs with her hand. The delicate butterfly hair clip shimmered under the sunlight.

“This time, I really am leaving. Goodbye, Sister Chelsea.” She waved, her face lighting up with a gentle smile.

“Mm, until next time, Miss.” Chelsea stood gracefully on the cliff, watching the young girl before her.

“My real name is Loran Hill, don’t forget, Sister Chelsea~”

With those words, the white-dressed girl leaned back, falling from the cliff, then rising again in the sea breeze, soaring upwards.

After leaving Hope Lane, Loran Hill did not directly return to the Tixilam Mountains but instead traveled across the sea.

After finishing the affairs of the Kallithea Guild, she felt as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. She no longer had to think or worry about various matters, nor did she have to be constantly vigilant against the enemies’ schemes. At this moment, she felt like someone who had just gotten a long-awaited holiday after a year of 996 work, her entire being filled with joy and relaxation.

Unrestrained, she flew freely in the wind. Although she had been in Hope Lane for a long time, she had never gone out to sea. Today, she wanted to fully release herself.

Flying through the air, the flow of air brushed past her sides, very comfortable and nostalgic. The girl soared like a bird between the sky and the ocean, the atmosphere bringing a gentle touch, caressing her skin. No matter how many times she experienced this, she never grew tired of it.

Although autumn had arrived in the northern region of the continent, the coastal climate in the south remained mild. Flying close to the sea surface, the moist sea breeze greeted her, tiny water droplets landing on her, quickly drying in the wind, bringing a refreshing sensation.

Leaning against the sea surface, gazing upward, amidst the slightly cool airflow, she felt the warmth of the sea. Her body seemed to be lying on the sea, but separated by a thin layer of air.

She rested in the wind, then ascended straight into the clouds, her swift body leaving a huge arc trajectory like a fighter jet in the sky.

High above ten thousand meters, the clouds below looked like hills, undulating. Beneath the wisps of cloud, one could see the vast ocean, the calm sea reflecting the clear blue of the sky, rippling with light.

Thus, she moved through the clouds, sometimes descending, flying over the sea, then turning agilely in the air like a swallow, finally merging with the flock of seagulls, forming a large “Z” shape in the air.

A melodious sound rang out in the sky like wind chimes.

All the pent-up emotions were released, her heart feeling as clean and transparent as a glass bottle washed clean, its clear body refracting sunlight, emitting colorful light. An empty glass bottle, misty with faint vapor, displayed rainbow colors within.

Like the mythological figure Kuafu chasing the sun, the girl flew towards the sun, the slightly cold breeze making the golden sunlight warm her body.

Continuing to fly and roam, until the blue sky turned purple and red, the fiery colors began to appear on the horizon.

This endlessly fascinating scenery made the girl sing softly, the song she remembered from memory, full of nostalgia, perfectly fitting the scene and evoking deep feelings.

[Moonlight illuminates the sky]

[Spilling light to adorn the ocean]

[Whenever a meteor falls from the sky]

[Dreams in my heart flutter with the wind]

[Spread transparent wings beyond the window]

[Seeking the most beautiful hope]

[Whenever the sky turns colorful]

[Soaring with memories and dreams]

[Moonlight illuminates the sky]

[Spilling light to adorn the ocean]

[Whenever a meteor falls from the sky]

[Dreams in my heart flutter with the wind]

[Spread transparent wings beyond the window]

[Seeking the most beautiful hope]

[Whenever the sky turns colorful]

[Soaring with memories and dreams]

[Lala lala lala lala lala]

[Lala lala lala lala lala]

[Lala lala lala lala lala]

Accompanied by the soft singing, the golden twilight poured over the world like water, illuminating her face, turning her white dress into a soft gold.

Thus, the girl flew in the sky until the crimson sun sank beneath the rippling sea, until the moon rose, and countless stars filled the sky, glittering like the Milky Way.
