Lin Qingying was thrown against the stone wall by the reaction force and then fell heavily to the ground.

"Your life-saving spiritual power has a limited number of uses, right?" the man with the snake tattoo said, trying to gauge Lin Qingying's reaction from her face.

Lin Qingying was thinking about how to buy Xie Wei more time and had no time to react to the man with the snake tattoo.

"Is the person inside very important to you?" The man with the snake tattoo looked at Lin Qingying's face, which was still quite beautiful despite its paleness.

Lin Qingying did not answer him, and the man was not annoyed, but simply said calmly.

"Since ancient times, the word 'love' has been the most burdensome thing. Those who embark on this path and aspire to achieve great things must relinquish these things."

The man swung his staff with increasing force, forcing Lin Qingying to retreat repeatedly until she was sent flying. The bones in her hands and feet seemed to be broken, and she could no longer feel them.

The "Heartfelt" bracelet on my wrist broke; it had completed its mission.

"It seems you've reached your limit," the man with the snake tattoo smiled, using his spiritual power to force the wounded Lin Qingying to look up. "However, I don't really like the stubbornness in your eyes."

After saying that, the man took out a strange device from his storage ring. The device was no bigger than half a palm.

The man simply tapped it lightly, and the device seemed to come alive, a needle piercing into Lin Qingying's skin.

"Third Brother..." I felt my spiritual power draining away madly, along with my life force. It hurt so much, so much, so much.

"Xiao Qingying..."

Lin Qingying heard Xie Wei calling her, as if she could see him rushing towards her.

'A dying fantasy?'

'If it's a dream, that's fine too.'

(I've caught a cold, it seems like I have the flu. Everyone around me has caught a cold lately. The weather is so unpredictable, so please take good care of your health.)
