Chapter 55 Chapter 55 "Give up early, for both you and Biqing..."

"Don't feel sorry for me. It's not unusual for a person to die soon."

Wulin raised a relieved smile at the corner of his mouth: "For me, this is a blessing."

Biqing and Xuanyi looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion.

Bi Qing asked hesitantly, "Senior, why...why is it a blessing?"

Wulin smiled and asked, "Biqing, you just said you had something to ask me. Why don't you tell me first? What is it?"

Biqing pursed her lips and said, "Senior, why have the goldfish fairies changed beyond recognition? Is the Zhaixin Bottle... really what I saw?"

She paused, looked at the white cloth covering Wulin's eyes, which was already soaked with blood, and asked, "And your eyes, Senior..."

"I'll tell you slowly."

Wulin interrupted Xiuqiu who was supplying her with spiritual energy: "Save some spiritual energy for yourself."

Wulin touched the white veil in front of her eyes. "One day, a thousand years ago, a small river clam accidentally swam from beneath a deep cliff at the bottom of a lake into the demon world, bringing back a body filled with foul energy. Even then, I knew that foul energy was flooding into the demon world, but I didn't know the reason. What you said today has suddenly opened my eyes."

"I helped it purify its foul aura and personally traveled to the demon world, only to learn that the two worlds had signed a peace treaty. I felt powerless to help the demon world, so I could only observe the surroundings from afar."

"I saw with my own eyes the foul energy reaching towards me like tentacles. Only then did I realize that the demon world's water source had been eroded beyond repair by the foul energy."

Wulin sighed, "I feared that one day, foul air would flood into the Wei River, causing unrest in the human world. So, I sealed the cliff and used my spiritual power to create a whirlpool to prevent the immortals and monsters living there from approaching. I also sealed the entrance with a barrier, just in case."

The little river clam in front of him whispered, "Young Master..."

"I forgot to mention that this little river clam is a monster, not a god."

Wulin sensed the three people were in a bad mood, so he used a little spiritual power to knock the little river clam unconscious, and said lightly: "Biqing, if you have any questions, you can interrupt me at any time, it's okay."

"No." Bi Qing said respectfully, "Senior, please continue."

Wulin said, "Seal- ing the cliffs is not a long-term solution. To get rid of the foul air, we must purify it. The Zhaixin Bottle is a treasure of our clan. It has the power of purification. I will use it to purify the foul air. This purification lasted for a thousand years."

"During this time, I was near the demon realm. The foul energy was getting worse and worse, and it was beyond my ability to handle. Fortunately, with the support of that lotus root, I was able to catch my breath for a while."

"Lotus root?!" Biqing exclaimed, "But the one from Qianyuan Mountain?!"

Wulin was surprised and asked, "How do you know?"

He asked in disbelief, "Biqing, have you been to the demon world?"

Biqing stammered, "Yes, I have been there."

More than just being there.

He even lived in the demon world for a long time.

"How could Akamatsu let you go to such a dangerous place!"

Wulin scolded him urgently, his voice rising uncontrollably: "I think she's really crazy! She's so ignorant of her own limitations after becoming a Supreme God! Does she really think everyone is as powerful as her?"

Realizing his own loss of composure, Wulin coughed dryly and calmed down a bit: "Biqing, why are you going to the demon world?"

Biqing choked, it was hard to say whether it was because she was ambushed and pushed off Chengjingtai and fell into the demon world.

She casually evaded the question, "I lost my way and accidentally entered the demon world."

Such a perfunctory excuse was obviously not true. Wulin could tell. He frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Did someone plot against you?"

Biqing shook her head and denied: "No, no! I am..."

In a moment of desperation, she couldn't think of a good excuse to get away with it.

"Would you not know if she was attacked by someone?"

Xuan Yi took over Wulin's words. He pulled Biqing's hand, signaling her to be quiet, and said coldly, "You must know what the gods in heaven look like."

Wulin's eyebrows twitched slightly, thinking of Biqing's deceased parents. His shoulders sank slightly, and he didn't ask any more questions: "I'm talking too much, Biqing, please don't take it to heart."

Xuan Yi became even more certain: Biqing had suffered a lot of grievances in the heavenly realm.

"As for you, a wolf demon."

Wulin changed the subject, pointing the finger directly at Xuanyi: "Thinking of achieving enlightenment with a god is nothing but a foolish dream. Giving up early will be good for both you and Biqing."

"What does it have to do with me?"

Xuan Yi sneered, "I'm not an idiot."

There was an angry tug on his sleeve, and Xuan Yi raised his eyebrows but remained silent.

Meeting Biqing's strange look, he asked, "Biqing, why are you staring at me?"

Bi Qing asked, "When we were in the demon world, why didn't I see you being sarcastic towards others?"

Xuan Yi said bluntly, "With Ah Jue here, I'm not needed for this kind of thing."

Biqing: “…”

Wulin sneered, "So you, a wolf demon, have a sharp-tongued brother. Biqing, be careful and stay away from these wolf demons, or you'll be bullied by them!"

Bi Qing was speechless and reminded him, "Senior, you haven't explained the matter of the Zhai Xin Bottle to me yet."

Wulin laughed dryly, "I was just busy bickering with this wolf demon."

He cleared his throat and said, "As you can see, the Zhaixin Bottle has become my heart and has become one with me. If you want to take the Zhaixin Bottle, just cut open my chest."

Xuan Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, his pair of mandarin duck eyes were as deep and unfathomable as a pool of water.

Bi Qingyan's eyes widened in surprise: How could she bring herself to take the Zhai Xin Bottle?!

She looked at Wulin, then at Xuanyi, and stood there at a loss.

Fearing that Xuan Yi would act quickly, she grabbed Xuan Yi's hand and spoke hastily, "Senior, there must be another way to get the Zhai Xin Bottle!"

"Once they have become one, they are inseparable. There is no other way."

Wulin said calmly, "If you can't bring yourself to do it, it won't be too late for me to get the Zhaixin Bottle a hundred years later."

He smiled and said, "As long as you can wait. However, I don't know whether the Zhaixin Bottle will still be effective by then."

There was a hint of ferocity and sharpness in Xuan Yi's eyes.

After going through so much trouble to find the Zhai Xin Bottle, he was determined to take it back.

He was about to rush forward to finish off Wulin when someone grabbed his arm.

Following the force, I looked: Biqing's eyes were full of pleading and pity, and she kept shaking her head at herself.

Xuan Yi's cheeks trembled slightly.

He could do the things that she couldn't bring herself to do.

He didn't want to hurt Biqing because of this matter, and he didn't want to part ways with Biqing because of this matter.

But since it concerns the wolf demon clan, he must make a choice.

Xuan Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Biqing, let go."

The arms were held tighter.

Wulin chuckled softly, "Biqing, please let go. I want to see how a wolf demon that has trouble dealing with even the Goldfish Fairy can get close to me."

He felt an itch in his throat, raised his sleeve to cover it, and coughed repeatedly.

Holding Xuan Yi's arm tightly, Biqing asked, delaying, "Senior, what's going on with the Goldfish Fairy?!"

Xuan Yi had no interest in the affairs of the Goldfish Fairy. He just wanted to obtain the Zhaixin Bottle and rush back to the Demon Realm to purify the water so that his people could drink clean water as soon as possible.

But he was a little selfish and didn't want to attack Wulin in front of Biqing.

"Those goldfish you see are fairies. They were originally incredibly handsome, on par with the mermaids that live in the East China Sea."

Wulin said, "The foul energy accumulated over time, gradually corroding the Wei River. My spiritual power was limited, and in the end, it was difficult to purify it. It was the goldfish fairies who were willing to sacrifice themselves for the Wei River and the human world, using their bodies as vessels to carry and purify the foul energy."

"After all, they are minor immortals, with shallow spiritual power. Over time, they will be corroded by the foul energy and become unrecognizable, suffering unbearable pain. They attacked you today just to find a reason to end the torture."

Wulin said painfully, "I am sorry for them."

He waited for a moment and found that Xuan Yi did not move, which was a bit strange.

Just as he was silently admiring Xuan Yi's patience, he heard a muffled sound, like the sound of a knock on the body.

Wulin was surprised for a moment and said, "It is really against the will of heaven to let you deceive a kind-hearted girl like Biqing."

Biqing held onto Xuan Yi's arm tightly to stop him, but was knocked unconscious by him with a palm strike.

Xuan Yi hugged the unconscious Bi Qing tightly in his arms and said coldly, "If there really was a Heavenly Way, we wouldn't have been corroded by foul energy for over a thousand years."

He turned his eyes away: "For Biqing's sake, I'll give you a choice. Do you do it yourself, or do I do it myself."

"If I had no intention of handing over the Zhaixin Bottle to you, why would I show up?"

Wulin covered his heart with his hands, and his pale hands sank into it little by little.

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans fell down his cheeks. Wulin's face turned pale instantly, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Before I give you the Zhaixin Bottle, you have to promise me one thing."

Xuan Yi couldn't bear to watch Wulin's pain any longer. He turned his eyes away and said, "As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree."

Xuan Yi deeply regretted giving him the choice.

Wulin forced a gentle smile and said, "Take the little river clam away from the Wei River and go wherever it wants to go."

"This is a simple matter, don't worry."

Hearing Xuan Yi's agreement, Wulin grasped the Zhaixin bottle and pulled it out of his body with force.

Blood gushed out from his heart like a dam bursting, and the palm of his hand holding the Zhaixin bottle was covered in blood, but the pure white porcelain bottle was not stained with a single speck of blood.

Xuan Yi couldn't smell anything underwater, but now his nose was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made him frown.

A golden light passed by Xuan Yi and flew into Wulin's eyes covered with white gauze.

The white veil slid down Wulin's face. He slowly raised his eyelashes and blinked uncomfortably to dispel the blurriness in front of his eyes.

"I was afraid my eyes would be corroded by the foul energy, so I peeled it off my body and made it into a mechanism."

Wulin put the Zhaixin bottle aside and looked weakly at Xuanyi and Biqing, who had fainted in his arms, carefully examining them. "If Brother Bixu knew how much Biqing resembled Miss Xiangyun, he would be overjoyed beyond words."

He looked down Biqing's face towards Xuanyi: "They're barely good-looking, but not really a good match."

Xuan Yi didn't want to argue with a dying man, so he pretended not to hear anything.

He used his magical powers to take the Zhaixin bottle from Wulin, and then picked up the little river clam that was knocked unconscious by Wulin and put it into his folded collar.

Looking at the golden Zhaixin bottle in front of him, he said respectfully, "Thank you for the water source, Senior."

"You even know some etiquette."

Wulin's eyes half closed: "There is my inner elixir in the Zhaixin bottle, which is enough for you to take back to the demon world."

"I tried my best."

Wulin's voice grew weaker and weaker, and after saying the last few words, he closed his eyes.

The heaving chest gradually became still and still.

Xuan Yi pursed his lips and tightened his grip on Bi Qing. A bit of demonic energy flowed out of him, landing in front of Wu Lin and cleaning the blood from his body.

The ground shook violently.

It's time to leave.

Xuan Yi looked at Wulin, whose clothes were neat and clean and whose face was peaceful, and left the hall that was about to collapse with Biqing in his arms.

The bright moonlight shines on the calm surface of the Wei River.

Xuan Yi brought Bi Qing ashore, but in a moment, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the lake, stirring up the moon reflected on the river like a silver plate, leaving only a few strands of silver light.

After a moment, the vortex gradually calmed down, and the disturbed moonlight pieced together into a complete moon, reflected in its original position, as if nothing had happened.

Everything is as usual.

Everything is like a dream.

Xuan Yi looked at the crescent moon reflected in the lake, sighed, and holding Biqing, he left the Weishui River and disappeared under the moonlight.
