As dusk fell, Shen Zhao carried Mu Qiuyao on his back and hurried along Pingkang Lane.

"Shen Zhao, is that you?"

Mu Qiuyao's voice sounded faintly behind Shen Zhao, sounding very weak.

"Yes, it's me. Don't say anything."

"Where am I? Is it dark? Why can't I see anything?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao paused, glancing at the lit lampstand beside him, a sense of unease instinctively flashing through his mind.

"Yes, it's getting dark. Don't talk. You'll be fine soon."

He repeatedly comforted Mu Qiuyao, then quickened his pace.

Mu Qiuyao clung tightly to Shen Zhao's back and whispered, "Kid, I'm so tired. You've made me feel like I'm going to throw up. Put me down and let me rest for a bit."

"Don't talk, you'll be fine in a bit."

"puff--"

A mouthful of blood gushed from Mu Qiuyao's mouth, staining Shen Zhao's clothes.

"you……"

"Kid, put me down, I'm really too tired, just for a little while."

"Okay, I'll rest for a while, just a little while."

Feeling that Mu Qiuyao's arms were gradually losing strength, Shen Zhao quickly found a clean corner in a nearby house and put Mu Qiuyao down from his back.

From the moment she arrived, Shen Zhao felt that Mu Qiuyao's body was terrifyingly light, like a feather, and he could not feel any weight at all.

Leaning against the wall, Mu Qiuyao reached out and began to wave her hand in the air.

"Hey kid, where are you?"

Shen Zhao was startled and subconsciously waved his hand in front of her face several times.

When he saw that Mu Qiuyao had no reaction at all, he was suddenly taken aback.

"Hey kid, where are you? Don't scare me."

"I am here."

Shen Zhao quickly grabbed her hand and whispered to comfort her, "I'm right here, don't be afraid."

The instant he grasped Mu Qiuyao's hand, he felt an icy chill to the bone.

"Hey kid, come closer, it's too dark, let me get a good look at you."

"good."

Shen Zhao didn't hesitate and moved his face closer.

Mu Qiuyao struggled to get closer, and when she felt a burning heat in front of her, she kissed Shen Zhao's cheek directly.

"Mmm, darling, I've finally kissed you. I had this thought when I leaned against you that night in the Buddhist Kingdom, and today, it's finally... come true..."

Shen Zhao did not dodge, but felt a bittersweet pain in her heart.

Suddenly, a tear slid down my cheek.

"Shen Zhao, I'm dying, but I can feel that you're still alive, and that puts my mind at ease."

"It's such a pity that I couldn't see you one last time."

Shen Zhao shook his head: "No, I won't let anything happen to you. Come on, I'll take you to get treatment right away."

Mu Qiuyao shook her head with a bitter laugh, tightly gripping Shen Zhao's hand: "Useless Shen Zhao, I've been hit by the God-Destroying Technique."

Both the Tai Xuan Dao Body and the Nine Yin Supreme Body within his body had shattered. The Dao Body had backfired, damaging his internal organs, and no amount of spiritual medicine or true essence could repair the damage.

"How could you be so foolish?" Shen Zhao grasped her hand in return. "Am I worth this sacrifice? With your strength, even a peak Great Emperor might not be able to harm you in the slightest, but you..."

"But I'm willing."

Mu Qiuyao tilted her head and leaned on Shen Zhao's shoulder.

"Kid, do you know what I mean?"

"From the first moment I saw you in the Heavenly Sacred Land, I had feelings for you."

Then, when you rescued me from the evil monk in the Buddhist kingdom, I was already inexplicably attracted to you.

Then, after we've been through so much together, I realized that I had actually fallen in love with you long ago.

However, the things I experienced in my past life make me feel dirty, and that I am completely unworthy of you.

Mu Qiuyao's voice grew weaker and weaker until it was barely a whisper, as if she might breathe her last at any moment.

Hearing her heartfelt words, Shen Zhao couldn't help but wrap his arms around her shoulders and rub her shoulders, pulling her closer to him.

"...Actually, I could have kept it from you. After all, if I hadn't talked about my dirty past, maybe I could have won your heart?"

However, I feel that if you truly like someone, you must be honest... So, no matter how you see me, I have to tell you the truth..."

"Stop talking, I'll take you to heal your wounds."

Seeing that something was wrong, Shen Zhao immediately picked up Mu Qiuyao around the waist and sped towards Dingxian Residence.

Lying against Shen Zhao's hot chest, Mu Qiuyao's pale face curved into a faint smile.

"Shen Zhao, now that things have come to this, I have one last wish. Can you grant it?"

"Don't talk nonsense. You won't die as long as I'm here. What do you mean by last wishes? You can fulfill them yourself once you get better!"

"Shen Zhao, my biggest wish right now is to wear a wedding dress and be your bride, even if it's just once..."

Could you temporarily set aside Su Yunying and Song Yanran and do my makeup and draw my eyebrows for me...?

I want to have a wedding with the man I love most in the final moments of my life. Would you...?

"Don't say anything. I'll do anything for you as long as you get better. Hang in there, don't die! I will never let you die!"

As he spoke, Shen Zhao kicked open the door of Dingxian Residence.

The moment the foot stepped in, the Medicine Master's Glazed Array was activated.

The righteous energy of Buddhism transformed into specks of Brahma light, which began to gather on Shen Zhao and Mu Qiuyao, healing their deep-seated injuries.

but……

"The Medicine Buddha Glazed Tile Array at Wanfo Cliff?"

Mu Qiuyao said with her eyes closed.

"No wonder I feel better. Shen Zhao, put me down."

Seeing that Mu Qiuyao's complexion seemed to be better than before, Shen Zhao brought her indoors and carefully placed her in the center of the array.
