Chapter 52 I Really Want to...Continue to Venture with You...

it's all over.

The centipede swam to death, which meant that the purpose of their coming to this world was completely over.

Xu Ren'er and his group carried their bags, packed up, and quietly returned from the meat-eating country to the fruit country.

On the way, there were eight people in their group, but one was missing.

"Qiuyue, is that you?"

It was noon and everyone had some free time, so they decided to have a picnic.

While everyone was collecting wood, Xu Ren'er walked up to Xigua Tangqiu alone and spoke suddenly to her from behind.

Xigua Tangqiu turned around, and after meeting Xu Ren'er's eyes, he lowered his head and smiled helplessly:

She knew very well that once she started fighting with the national teacher of the Carnivorous Country, she might be able to fool others, but she would never be able to hide it from Xu Ren'er, who had the most comprehensive information among them.

After all, she was able to come here from the future because of the help of Xu Ren'er in the future.

Xigua Tangqiu's smile basically meant consent.

After getting her answer, Xu Ren'er looked reluctant and his eyes were full of heartache.

No wonder, no wonder when she completed the third task, the unknown voice suddenly said that her task reward had been used up!

It turned out that she had already used it in advance at some point in the future.

And now is the past time point of the future.

"In the future, if we go together to attack the Carnivore Nation's Imperial Master, will the entire army be annihilated? Only you will be left alone."

"yes."

"How much time do you have left to live?"

Xu Ren'er remembered the fifth point of note for the mission reward:

You cannot spend a long time with your past friends and relatives. For every day you spend together, half a year will be automatically deducted from your lifespan.

They are Xigua Tangqiu's relatives and friends. They have been with Xigua Tangqiu for so long...

"Today is the last day."

Xigua Tangqiu told the cruel truth.

Xu Ren'er was stunned when he heard this: "How could it be?!"

Xigua Tangqiu didn't want to see Xu Ren'er's sad expression, so he turned his back to her and said:

"I think it's worth it to exchange half a year of my life for a day with you.

In the thirty years since you left, I have missed the time we spent together every moment. "

It was precisely because of those deep-rooted thoughts that every martial arts move she practiced during those thirty years had their style.

But she forgot her own style.

"Ren'er, please keep this a secret for me. Spend the last day happily with me, okay?"

A light breeze blew by, Xigua Tangqiu turned around, and was not surprised to see Xu Ren'er's bewildered expression.

She gave her a bright smile that was deeply soothing and spoke softly to her.

Xu Ren'er nodded heavily, not daring to speak, for fear that tears would fall if she spoke.

Tang Qiuyue from the future was still Tang Qiuyue. How could she not feel sad knowing that her friend only had one day left to live?!

Xu Ren'er left in a daze.

Xigua Tangqiu watched her leave until she could no longer see Xu Ren'er. Then she said,

"She's gone, come out."

At the same time, Mo Youli walked out from behind the tree and looked at Xigua Tangqiu quietly, remaining silent for a long time.

"What do you want to ask?"

"You are Tang Qiuyue." Mo Youli said affirmatively.

Xigua Tangqiu was a little surprised. She glanced at Mo Youli and asked curiously, "Did the conversation between me and Ren'er give you this idea?"

"No." Mo Youli shook his head and explained:

"It was your conversation with Ren'er that confirmed my thoughts. You never concealed your abilities or your appearance from beginning to end.

It's just your age, plus the fact that there's already a Tang Qiuyue around us, that made us mistakenly assume that you were just a relative who had a blood pressure relationship with the Watermelon Clan back then.

But if they were truly family, the moves you used when fighting with that Imperial Master couldn't have been exactly like ours. Only someone who has been with us for a long time could master our moves with such ease."

"So you came here this time just to confirm your thoughts?"

Mo Youli still shook his head and said:

"I sensed your life was drawing to a close, and I felt a sudden pang of anxiety. I was worried, so I wanted to come see you. Then I heard your conversation with Ren'er."

"So what are you thinking now?"

"I don't know." Mo Youli's eyes revealed a slight confusion, and he continued: "The information came too suddenly. I don't know how I should react."

Xigua Tangqiu tilted his head, once again showing a warm and gentle smile, and said:

"Then you can be like Ren'er and spend today happily with me, okay?"

Mo Youli nodded and left in a trance. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his cheek. He raised his hand and touched the cold spot on his cheek. When he stretched out his hand, he saw that his hand was wet.

It turned out that he was crying.

After everyone around her left, Xigua Tangqiu, who had been holding on for a long time, finally couldn't hold on any longer. She took a shaky step, pressed her temples with one hand, and slowly leaned against a tree.

Rays of sunlight filtered through the gaps in the IV drip and shone onto her face. A few flying birds were circling in the sky, chirping.

The wind was particularly strong today, causing her hair to flutter in the wind, completely unstable and extremely fragile.

Xigua Tangqiu's face turned pale, and her breathing began to become weak. She couldn't help but clench her fists, and tried to endure for a long time before finally recovering. A self-deprecating smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"I really want to... really want to... adventure with you guys again..."

She really couldn't bear to leave. She really wanted to continue living, to live forever...

She really wasn't afraid of death, but she was too scared. She was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to continue living with them...

In fact, she also knew that she was too eager and greedy, because being able to spend time with Xu Ren'er and the others, even if it was just quiet and silent, was also a kind of happiness for her...

——

Tang Qiuyue and Tang Beiju traveled together. The wood in this world was no different from that in theirs. Tang Qiuyue picked and chose a lot of wood, collected a lot of good branches, and stuffed them into Tang Beiju's arms.

"You're the older brother, you have to take care of your sister! Hold on tight, don't drop it!"

Tang Qiuyue said confidently.

Tang Beiju lowered his head, glanced at the pile of wood in his arms, and couldn't help but grumbled in a low voice: "Whose sister is as strong as you? Let me take care of you? You might as well take care of me..."

"What did you say?!" Tang Qiuyue immediately frowned and glared at him when she heard it, and asked.

When Tang Beiju saw her like this, he immediately shook his head and said seriously, "I didn't say anything. You heard it wrong."

Tang Qiuyue snorted coldly, without thinking too much about it, and accepted this little episode.

"I'm telling you, don't dwell on having a gentle sister all day. Don't you think that if someone has a gentle sister, then her brother must also be gentle? This is the charm of blood. I'm not gentle, which means you should reflect on yourself..."

Tang Qiuyue walked in front, muttering incessantly.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of wood falling to the ground. She couldn't help but frown, turned around instantly, and said cursingly:

"I just said a few words to you, why did you throw the branch away..."

Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she was greeted by a warm and powerful hug.

Tang Qiuyue was filled with questions and said disdainfully, "Why did you suddenly hug me? Are you crazy?"

Tang Beiju himself was also full of questions. He pushed Tang Qiuyue away, wiped the tears from his eyes, and wondered:

"I don't know either. Just a moment ago, I felt like I was about to lose you. My heart ached so much, and I inexplicably had the urge to stop you from leaving..."

When Tang Qiuyue heard this, she pursed her lips, her forehead blazing with anger, and the word "bad luck" was written all over her face:

"Tang Beiju! I think you don't want to live anymore. How dare you curse me to death?!"

Tang Qiuyue was so angry that she took out the axes on both sides of her waist and walked forward to fight Tang Beiju to the death!

Tang Beiju felt very wronged. This was simply an unprovoked disaster! He also didn't understand what that feeling that had just come over him was about.

——

Xigua Tangqiu did not come to this picnic.

Everyone looked for her everywhere, and only found a note weighed down by a stone under a tree.

There was only one sentence on the note:

Don't look for me, don't miss me. I like to walk alone. Living in a group doesn't suit me. —Xigua Tangqiu

Tang Qiuyue saw the contents of the note and was puzzled: "Even if you like living alone, you should at least stay for a meal before leaving! Why leave so hastily?"

Xu Ren'er and Mo Youli, a man and a dog, had complicated expressions in their eyes and remained silent. They just clenched their fists tightly, trying hard to control their emotions to avoid being seen by others.

Apple Xinshan and Green Ti Yaoming, however, were unaware of the hidden truth and offered their opinions based on their past experiences.

Qingti Yaoming smiled faintly and stepped forward to comfort her, "In this world, there are always some people who really don't like the noisy atmosphere of parting, and prefer to leave quietly. So for you, it may be a little abrupt, but for her, it's just right. I think we should be more tolerant and respect her thoughts."

Tang Qiuyue thought about it and nodded in agreement: Qingti Yaoming was right, she was a little narrow-minded.

"Okay. Let's start cooking! I'm so hungry now! It's all my brother's fault. He had to make me angry! I had a fight with him, and now I'm starving!"

Upon hearing this, Apple Xinshan raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "What did he do to make you so angry?"

At this point, Tang Qiuyue instantly became furious and pointed at Tang Beiju, cursing, "He said he thought I was going to die! Tell me, isn't that infuriating? I was just standing there perfectly fine, and he actually cursed me out of thin air?!"

When Qingti Yaoming heard this, he burst into laughter and echoed Tang Qiuyue, saying, "He definitely deserves a beating!"

When Xu Ren'er and Mo Youli heard Tang Qiuyue's words, their emotions, which they had been trying to control, were about to burst. Xu Ren'er forced a smile and said:

"Qiuyue, the air feels a bit stuffy, I want to get some fresh air!"

"Go! Remember to come back early!"

Xu Ren'er responded and left in a hurry.

Mo Youli followed closely behind, and as soon as Xu Ren'er left, he stepped forward and said, "I want to get some fresh air, too."

After he finished speaking, as if he was afraid that he could no longer control himself, he left immediately without waiting for a response.

The people who stayed behind looked at each other in confusion. Tang Qiuyue took a deep breath and couldn't help but wonder:

"The air here is so clear! Why does it feel stuffy?"
