Chapter 18: Xiaoqing's Return
第18章：小青归来
The air around the Leifeng Pagoda was thick with magical energy. Xiaoqing stood at the center of a swirling vortex of green light, her power growing with every second. She focused all her will on the ancient stones, her mind filled with memories of her sister's kindness and sacrifice.
雷峰塔周围的空气充满了魔力。小青站在旋转的青色光涡中心，她的力量每秒钟都在增强。她将所有的意志都集中在那些古老的石头上，脑海中充满了姐姐的善良和牺牲。
"Sister! I am here!" she cried, her voice piercing the roar of the energy. "The wait is over! Come back to us!"
“姐姐！我在这里！”她喊道，声音穿透了能量的咆哮。“等待结束了！回到我们身边吧！”
With a deafening roar, the pagoda began to crumble. Huge blocks of stone fell into the lake, sending plumes of water into the air. The light grew so bright that the onlookers had to shield their eyes. In the center of the destruction, a figure began to emerge. It was Bai Suzhen, her white robes still pristine, her face as beautiful as the day she was imprisoned.
随着一声震耳欲聋的轰鸣，宝塔开始坍塌。巨大的石块掉进湖里，激起冲天的水柱。光芒变得如此刺眼，围观者不得不遮住眼睛。在破坏的中心，一个身影开始出现。是白素贞，她的白袍依然洁净如初，她的脸庞和被囚禁那天一样美丽。
She stepped out from the ruins, her eyes blinking in the sunlight for the first time in twenty years. She looked around, her gaze landing first on Xiaoqing and then on the young man kneeling before her.
她从废墟中走出来，二十年来第一次在阳光下眨着眼睛。她环顾四周，目光首先落在小青身上，然后落在跪在她面前的年轻人身上。
"Xiaoqing," she whispered, her voice full of emotion. "You did it. You saved me."
“小青，”她低声说道，声音充满了感情。“你做到了。你救了我。”
Xiaoqing rushed forward and embraced her sister, both of them weeping with relief. "I promised I would, sister. I never stopped trying."
小青冲上前去拥抱她的姐姐，两人都因宽慰而哭泣。“我承诺过我会的，姐姐。我从未停止尝试。”
Then, Bai Suzhen turned to Mengjiao. She walked toward him, her steps graceful despite her long confinement. She reached out and touched his face, her hands trembling. "My son. My beautiful, brave son."
然后，白素贞转向梦蛟。她朝他走去，尽管被长期囚禁，她的步履依然优雅。她伸手抚摸他的脸，双手颤抖着。“我的儿子。我美丽、勇敢的儿子。”
Mengjiao looked up at his mother, his heart overflowing with love. "Mother. You are finally home."
梦蛟抬头看着他的母亲，心中充满了爱。“母亲。你终于回家了。”
The reunion was a moment of pure, unadulterated joy. The entire city of Hangzhou seemed to hold its breath as the family was brought back together. The legend of the white snake had reached its climax, but there was one final piece of the puzzle still missing. They needed to find Xu Xian and complete the family circle once and for all.
重逢是一个纯粹、绝对喜悦的时刻。当这个家庭重新团聚时，整个杭州城似乎都屏住了呼吸。白蛇的传说已经达到了高潮，但拼图中还有最后一块缺失。他们需要找到许仙，彻底完成家庭的团圆。
