Chapter 127 Death Escape

Madam Hongyan stared blankly at Lou Yuqing.

She certainly didn't think the other person was joking, so she believed that she had a predestined marriage line and that her relationship with that person was special.

Only her Daoist partner meets the criteria for such a person.

Lady Hongyan, suddenly inspired, became excited: "Yuqing, can you find the person on the other side of the marriage thread?"

Lou Yuqing readily agreed: "Sure."

It's clear that person is very important to her.

Lou Yuqing looked at her red thread, a look of surprise and doubt on her face: "Huh?"

Lady Hongyan asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Lou Yuqing said, "The thread of fate lies within the sect."

Lady Hongyan was stunned for a moment. She had considered that it might be in Yongding City, or at the place where they pledged their love back then, but she had never thought of this possibility.

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Shi Hua broke the silence: "Let's find them first. Senior Brother Sect Leader, Senior Brother Meng, you two accompany Junior Sister Hongyan and Yuqing. I will protect Senior Brother Medical Saint."

Now that we have the antidote, we must immediately cure the Bilan poison.

The Sage of Medicine held the Sacred Heart Flower and looked at her tenderly.

Qingxuzi chuckled and said, "Alright."

Lou Yuqing kept her eyes downcast and, seeing that they had reached an agreement, patted the back of the Nine Heavens Azure Phoenix, signaling it to return to its master's side.

The Azure Phoenix reluctantly nuzzled her hand.

On the other side, Si Nidie finally arrived at the mountain gate, and before she could even catch her breath, several streaks of light suddenly flashed across the sky, seemingly mocking her for being a step too late.

Si Nidie: "..." Damn it!

Even eating a melon is a slow process, and it's not as fresh as it used to be.

She immediately changed direction and gave chase.

Lingzhi Garden occupies seven peaks.

Some peaks cultivate the spiritual herbs needed for refining elixirs, while others are responsible for cultivating rare spiritual plants, and still others provide flowers for various buildings throughout the sect...

Flowers have a wide range of uses, and many have the effects of calming the mind, soothing the spirit, and calming the soul.

This is the flower planting area.

"Senior Brother Wushuang, are you free now? I'd like to ask you a question." The disciple arrived at the entrance of the flower room and kept looking inside.

"Okay." A clear male voice rang out.

As the sound appeared, the flowers rippled in front of them, and a tall, slender figure straightened up from within. When he turned to look, the smile on his face was as gentle as jade.

The disciple was momentarily stunned. No wonder so many senior and junior sisters favored Senior Brother Wushuang. He was handsome, had a gentle temperament, and always answered everyone's questions. It was hard not to be attracted to him.

"Senior Brother Wushuang, the Crystal Jade Grass I planted is showing signs of withering, and the spells you taught me before are not working."

"This situation is basically related to watering with spiritual liquid, the duration of sunlight exposure, and pests and diseases. By eliminating these factors one by one, we can find the root cause."

The disciple nodded and left, satisfied.

Caught a glimpse of white out of the corner of his eye, he stopped and asked curiously, "Senior Brother Wushuang, is this your beloved Rock Rose?"

The rock rose is predominantly white, with five petals swaying in the wind, their base tinged with reddish-brown, surrounding the yellow stamens in the center.

It doesn't look very beautiful.

Seeing his confusion, Wu Shuang slowly said, "The rock rose has another name, the blazing rose. When the temperature becomes unbearable, it will spontaneously combust, and that is its most beautiful moment."

The disciple suddenly realized: "Like the fleeting moment of a night-blooming cereus, even though it is only brilliant for a short while, it perfectly embodies the word 'beauty,' making it unforgettable."

Wu Shuang smiled and said, "You are a promising young man."

The disciple left in high spirits.

Wushuang's gaze shifted to the white flowers, his eyes filled with tenderness and bitterness. His greatest love was not the rock rose, but the person who loved the rock rose.

"Frost-free".

The gentle voice was like a call from a memory.

Wu Shuang said with a self-deprecating laugh, "Why am I hallucinating again?"

He stroked the white petals and sighed, "Well, this rock rose is in perfect bloom. I'll have someone deliver it to her peak tomorrow; she should like it."

Why didn't you come and deliver it yourself?

The familiar voice rang out once again, tinged with sorrow, grief, and pain.

Wu Shuang's body stiffened, as if he had turned to stone. He told himself that this must be another hallucination.

But what kind of auditory hallucination was so real that it could actually keep up with his words?

Unless, of course, it's not an illusion at all!

“Red Flame…”

Wu Shuang turned to look at the owner of the voice. She was wearing a fiery red robe and had a beautiful face, just as pretty as before, but now she had striking white hair.

Hongyan threw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably: "Bastard, since you're still alive, why didn't you come to see me! I didn't want Yan Qiangwei, I wanted you!"

Three months after the other person disappeared during the demonic disaster, her peak sent her rock roses every month, and she would use the flowers to remember her.

She hadn't thought about it deeply before.

But only now did she realize that he had personally cultivated it, and that the familiar feeling she had when she saw the rock rose was actually brought about by him.

Wu Shuang hugged her tightly around the waist, all the suppressed longing welling up in her heart, tears falling onto her clothes: "I'm sorry, Hong Yan."

Outside the flower room.

Lou Yuqing and the others quietly stepped aside to give them space. When they found the spiritual plant area by following the red line, she still couldn't quite believe it.

As it turns out, Elder Hongyan's destined marriage is indeed here, and it seems that the other party has some kind of trouble.

Lou Yuqing opened the system panel, preparing to find out the truth of the matter first.

Over a hundred years ago, Elder Hongyan of our sect and True Person Wushuang of the Bailing Sect became Daoist partners, and their love was renowned throughout both sects.

Unfortunately, the demonic calamity struck, and Master Wushuang, leading her forces to defend Yongding City, ran right into the main force of the demonic sect. The entire city was on the verge of destruction.

At the critical moment, Master Wushuang used a forbidden technique to protect the city and buy time for the sect's reinforcements. As for himself...

Lou Yuqing fell silent.

Qingxuzi and Meng Zonghan felt a chill in their hearts. Although the forbidden technique was powerful, it also had significant side effects.

Wu Shuang's avoidance of seeing Hong Yan will likely come at a price far greater than they anticipated.

On the other side, Master Wushuang heard Lou Yuqing's thoughts and was immediately awakened.

He had to admit that even if he met Hongyan, he didn't want to tell her the whole story, but this voice seemed to know everything about his affairs.

"This..." Master Wushuang's words stuck in his throat as an irresistible force descended upon him, as if to crush him.

Lady Hongyan hurriedly transmitted her voice: "Don't say it out loud."

Master Wushuang quickly swallowed his words.

Lady Hongyan explained Lou Yuqing's uniqueness, leaving Master Wushuang stunned: "Is it really that amazing?"

Madam Hongyan rolled her eyes at him: "Without Yuqing, I wouldn't have known you were hiding here. It's okay if you don't tell her, she definitely knows what's going on."

Frostless Immortal: !!!

He considered whether to lure Lou Yuqing away, but seeing Qingxuzi and Meng Zonghan waiting outside, he knew that his plan was definitely not going to work.

The next moment, Lou Yuqing's inner voice rang out.

After the forbidden technique was used, True Immortal Wushuang's cultivation level dropped to the Foundation Establishment stage, and he would never be able to make any further progress. His lifespan was also reduced by a full two hundred years.

[His Daoist partner has several hundred years left, while he can only live for another fifty or sixty years at most. Because of his inferiority complex, and also in order to let go, he dares not see Elder Hongyan.]

Lady Hongyan transmitted her voice: "Let go? You want me to find someone else's embrace?"

Wu Shuang's voice was barely audible: "I..."

Of course he didn't want to, but with only a few decades to live, how could he accompany her to old age? It would be better to let her think that she died in the demonic calamity than to be heartbroken later.

Hongyan grabbed his ear and said hatefully, "Let me tell you, in this life, I will only ever be with you!"

Wu Shuang dared not resist and said with a bitter smile, "But my lifespan is short, I am just barely clinging to life."

Hongyan replied resolutely: "So what if I don't have enough lifespan? I'll just die with you!"

Wu Shuang shook her head frantically: "No, Hong Yan, you have such a long life ahead of you, don't let me hold you back."

It was precisely because he understood Hongyan's thoughts that he preferred to disappear by faking his death rather than greedily spend those decades with her.

Unwilling to wait for death, Master Wushuang infiltrated the sect's spiritual plant area and personally cultivated the rock roses favored by her Daoist partner, thus soothing the sorrow in her heart.

Fifty years have passed, and his life has come to an end. If nothing unexpected happens, he will die in a month...

Lou Yuqing's heart skipped a beat.

To make such a sacrifice for the people who protect a city, Master Wushuang was undoubtedly a respectable senior, but he did not live long.

Elder Hongyan would never know that her Daoist partner had quietly passed away in a cave near her peak.

"How cruel you are!" Hongyan angrily raised her hand and struck out with a palm, but she knew in her heart that he couldn't withstand it, so she held back her strength and punched him on the shoulder with her fist.

The tears flowed even more profusely. Fifty years of waiting and guarding had taken up a tenth of their lives, and they had no time left to miss.

Wu Shuang hugged her tenderly and comforted her incoherently, "There's still a month left. I'll stay with you. You can hit me or scold me, I won't fight back."

"You can't fight back!" Hongyan broke free from his embrace and dragged him toward the medical hall. "With Senior Brother Medical Saint here, who says you can only live for a month!"

It seems they've all come to terms with it.

Elder Hongyan is right. Although the Medical Saint cannot restore True Person Wushuang's cultivation, prolonging her lifespan is not a problem.

Lou Yuqing's gloom lessened considerably.

Qingxuzi and Meng Zonghan communicated telepathically.

"Third Junior Brother has several pills that can prolong life. If he takes them all, he can gain at least fifty or sixty years more in life."

"That Wushuang didn't come back for some lame excuse, making Junior Sister Hongyan wait for over fifty years. Once he takes the pill, I'm going to beat him up!"

"Junior Brother Meng, his cultivation level is only Foundation Establishment."

"Understood, senior brother. I'll go easy on you."

When Si Nidie arrived at the Spirit Plant Garden, everyone had already left, except for Lou Yuqing. She rushed up to her impatiently: "Junior Sister, how are my melons?"

Lou Yuqing: ?

"What I mean is, how is the relationship between Elder Shi Hua and Senior Medical Saint progressing?" Si Nidie asked breathlessly.

Lou Yuqing revealed a mysterious smile: "Very good, this pair is a perfect match, and I have also helped a couple of young lovers find happiness together."

Si Nidie finally caught her breath and said eagerly, "Tell me in detail."

Lou Yuqing began to tell the story, interspersed with the God's-eye view from the gossip system, full of details and impeccable.

Si Nidie was as happy as a badger in a melon patch, and patted Lou Yuqing on the shoulder: "Junior sister, I think you can be a matchmaker."

The next day, Lou Yuqing, who was on duty at the Law Enforcement Hall, was suddenly stopped by a large number of disciples. Upon asking, she learned that they were all introduced by Si Nidie to have their marriage fortunes told.

My senior sister's initiative is truly top-notch.
