Chapter 199 Meow

In Jian Yunlan's live broadcast room, the upper right corner shows the number of online viewers:

[1,798,866,520 people]

It almost doubled again in a short period of time.

This number only counts the Ten Thousand Worlds Plane, and does not include other smaller planes. However, in the several planes that Jian Yunlan has traveled through, each plane also has a very large audience group who are always paying attention to the exquisiteness in the live broadcast room.

In the Wanjie plane, almost one out of every three residents is watching Jian Yunlan's live broadcast at this moment. This number of online people is almost epoch-making, and even the official news media of Wanjie reported this grand event.

Although the myriad worlds are now safe and will no longer be troubled by plane erosion, there is no need for people to continue paying attention to Jian Yunlan's live broadcast.

However, many people entered the live broadcast room when the plane was eroded, and they never left after entering.

Everyone wants to see if there is anything they can do to help.

...If they can eat Boss Jian’s snacks after the success, they will wake up laughing in their dreams, hehe.

Therefore, when Jian Yunlan finally arrived at the Silent Stage after overcoming numerous difficulties and dangers, all the audience focused their attention:

[Finally, finally!] 】

[I've been following the series for so long, is it finally going to end? I'm nervous, nervous, nervous]

[Ahhh so many friends came from various dimensions to help Lanlan, they are all very good babies QAQ]

[Ning Bao is worthy of being Ning Bao]

[Yu Ming, what's wrong with your muscles... Who still remembers the stubborn little white flower protagonist... Vomiting blood...]

[Ye Qingquan and Lele made me cry to death! ! ! Our orphan little Jian now has a father and brothers! ! ! 】

[The Doomsday plane is getting better, and the homes have been rebuilt after the disaster.]

[Why is Heaven so evil? Why must it target Boss Jian and Lord Taotie? What is its purpose? So many people were sent to guard the place. All the people from the underworld were here. This was clearly an attempt to kill Boss Jian. Fortunately, Niu Tou intervened.]

[Hehe, Xiao Jian said that after the deal is done, he will set up a stall until everyone can buy it. I am looking forward to it =w= It will take more than ten years to set up the stall until everyone can buy it. Anyway, I will keep queuing and be a returning customer, so Boss Jian, don’t think about leaving get off work so easily! 】

That’s bad.

[We’ll talk about what happens next later. Ahhhhhhhhhh Xiao Jian and Master Taotie finally meet ahhhhhh]

[I'm really worried. They said that Heaven is going to execute Lord Taotie, and judging by the time, it seems like they're about to do it. I hope Lord Taotie doesn't get into any trouble! ! ! 】

【Worry +1】

[Xiao Lan will definitely catch up, believe in him!] 】

.

Mountain and sea plane, the platform of extinction.

Amidst countless beams of light, an extremely huge and ferocious beast stood in the center of the light.

——The ferocious beast had the characteristics of a dragon, a tiger, and an ox. Its thick scales were bluish-red, like bloodstained dragon scales, just like when Jian Yunlan first saw him.

The beam of light rotated and wrapped around the ferocious beast. The seemingly soft and harmless light, however, with every rotation, it cut off the scales and flesh of the Taotie like a sharp blade.

Many of the scales on the Taotie beast had fallen off as the beam of light passed over its body, revealing the scarred and dark muscles and bones underneath. Deep red and black liquid gushed out from the wound like a fountain, accumulating and spreading, and even flowing to Jian Yunlan's feet.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air.

Taotie didn't struggle or roar, but just stood quietly in the center with his eyes closed, like a statue.

Receive your neck and be killed.

Tiandao Piaomiao's voice with laughter came from somewhere: "Oh my, the world-famous Lord Taotie, you are really infatuated... In order for that mortal to live a hundred years and die peacefully, do you really want to give up all your cultivation and soul? It's not too late to regret now..."

Taotie did not answer.

The ferocious beast stood quietly with its eyelids drooping, as if waiting for someone, or as if trapped in a peaceful dream, even its breathing was very light.

“…”

Jian Yunlan opened her mouth, but was unable to speak.

He has always been a person with few emotions, because from childhood to adulthood, he has no relatives and no particularly close friends, and he is always alone wherever he goes.

Soon after, Taotie came. The arrival of Taotie was like the flapping of a butterfly's wings. From then on, Jian Yunlan's whole world began to change. There was more excitement, more light, and more laughter shining in. After Hu Danggui and Niu Tou came, the Jian family villa became always bustling with activity.

Jian Yunlan also has a place that she can call "home".

All this happened too suddenly and too naturally, so Jian Yunlan never imagined what would happen to him if all this disappeared?

...What would happen to him if Taotie disappeared?

'Fear'.

The first feeling that came to Jian Yunlan's heart was not sadness, or even anger, but fear.

Afraid of losing it all. Afraid of losing all the light and laughter and all the bustling days of setting up stalls. Fear of losing their home. Most importantly…

Fear of losing Taotie.

Looking at the Taotie in the center who was willing to die, Jian Yunlan's heart seemed to be tightened, and he even had difficulty breathing for a moment. The fear of losing Taotie wrapped around him like cold, wet thorns, climbing up his throat, becoming clearer and more real.

At that moment, I heard a tinnitus-like sound like a whistle in my ears, and the whole world was left with only that bloody figure.

What are those pillars of light? The embodiment of heaven's will?

Without even having time to think about anything, Jian Yunlan rushed over.

His steps were a little shaky, but he ran very fast. He had never run so fast in his life, and he could taste the sting of the cold wind in his throat.

The extremely sharp beam of light that fell on Taotie actually passed by Jian Yunlan lightly, allowing him to arrive at Taotie unscathed.

“Master Taotie!” Jian Yunlan panted as he stopped beside the huge beast that was several stories tall. He gently reached out and touched its intact scales, then raised his head and shouted, “I, I came to find you. I’m a little late…”

Having said this, Jian Yunlan suddenly choked up.

…Standing next to Taotie, Jian Yunlan could see more clearly.

The hideous wounds and criss-crossing scars on Taotie's body had not yet had time to heal before new wounds appeared, and the bloodstains turned black.

Jian Yunlan's eyes turned red in an instant and she was speechless.

Jian Yunlan's voice was very soft. Compared with the huge Taotie, his existence was also insignificant, like an ant talking to a giant whale. Taotie should not have been aware of his existence.

However, Taotie, who had not shown any reaction despite being cut by a knife or burned by fire, suddenly moved at this moment.

The beast's eyelids trembled, and it slowly opened its eyes.

Under the gray sky.

Taotie's dark golden vertical pupils showed a dying turbidity, and his pupils were dilated, but the moment he saw Jian Yunlan, they gradually focused and gradually flashed with some brilliance.

The beast struggled to squeeze out some air from its chest, coughed heavily twice, and said something: "!￥@#&*()+"

Jian Yunlan: “?”

It was a series of whispers, a language that Jian Yunlan could not quite understand.

Like the chanting of an ancient spell.

…For the first time in her life, Jian Yunlan hated herself for not being knowledgeable enough and not being able to understand Taotie’s words.

Besides, wouldn’t this be the last words Taotie said to him?

Her eye circles became even redder. Jian Yunlan tried hard to think about what Taotie had said. Her expression was blank, and her face showed a look of confusion, sadness, panic, and bewilderment. Tears streamed down her cheeks.

Taotie: “…”

Even though it was exhausted, the ferocious beast still looked a bit helpless like a child when it saw this scene, not knowing how to comfort the other party.

The next second...

The light and shadow flickered, and Taotie turned back into human form.

Jian Yunlan stared blankly at the person who appeared in front of him.

——Like the beast’s body, Taotie’s body was also covered with criss-crossing wounds and bloodstains. Its Warring States robe was tattered, and its ox bone shoulder armor also had hideous cracks.

His long silver hair spread out, the ends of his hair soaked with black blood. He lowered his eyes to look at Jian Yunlan, and there was a dull light in his dark golden eyes.

...He stared at Jian Yunlan for a long time, as if he wanted to remember his appearance in his mind forever, and would never forget it no matter how much he was crushed to ashes.

A few rays of light penetrated the gray clouds, dyeing the entire sky and earth amber, and the wind began to blow.

Sudden.

Taotie reached out, gently touched Jian Yunlan's face, and wiped away his tears.

This was the first time that Jian Yunlan had seen Taotie with such an expression in such a long time - in the past, Taotie was stubborn, arrogant, and cocky, and he was always like a big devil who did whatever he wanted. This was the first time that Taotie showed such a gentle expression, which was a little unlike him.

Looking at Jian Yunlan, Taotie actually laughed.

"It is said that all living beings will see the person they want to see most before they die," Taotie said to himself, "It seems that I am really going to die this time."

"Are you... coming to pick me up?"

Taotie looked at Jian Yunlan, his eyes bright.

He whispered, "That's great, that's great."

Taotie lowered his head and looked at Jian Yunlan's face intently, getting very close to him. As their breaths intertwined, Jian Yunlan smelled the rusty, bloody scent and sandalwood on him.

"That's great." He smiled foolishly again, sniffing the scent of Jian Yunlan with care.

Taotie's breath brushed across Jian Yunlan's cheek, and it was also warm.

Jian Yunlan suddenly held his hand back.

Using a little strength, Jian Yunlan clenched her fists tightly, until her knuckles turned white, in order to prevent Taotie from breaking free.

"Taotie, I have walked a long way and kept running. Many people have helped me. I always want to be with you as soon as possible..." Jian Yunlan spoke very anxiously and his words were a little incoherent.

But the look he gave Taotie was firm and serious, without any wavering.

Jian Yunlan took a deep breath and managed to calm herself down, but she could still hear her own heartbeat in her ears.

He said:

"I want to come to you as soon as possible and tell you..."

Jian Yunlan's lips opened and closed as he uttered a word.

Bang, bang. bang.

Jian Yunlan's lips were reflected in Taotie's retina. His heart stopped beating for a few seconds and he almost didn't hear what Jian Yunlan said.

The light from the sky completely penetrated the clouds, scattering thousands of strands of gold, and white doves flapped their wings and flew away.

It was dusk on earth. In the distance were lights from thousands of homes. An orange-red sunset was slowly sinking in the sky. Taotie could no longer hear anything, from the chirping of cicadas to the rumbling of carriages and human voices.

Even the physical pain was blown away by the wind that came from nowhere and was no longer unbearable.

Instead, there was an inexplicable itch in my heart, as if I was being scratched by a kitten's claws, and it felt swollen and a little sore.

At that moment, the world fell silent.

Time is extended indefinitely.

At that second, Taotie looked at Jian Yunlan and suddenly remembered many insignificant fragments.

From early morning to dusk, spring, summer, autumn and winter, every day and night. Jian Yunlan when he is obsessed with cooking, Jian Yunlan when he goes out to set up a stall, Jian Yunlan who warmly greets diners, and there is the various Jian Yunlan from even longer ago. He is always full of vitality and fully committed, and no one and nothing can hold him back.

It sounds a bit funny, but there was a time when Taotie was very jealous of Jian Yunlan's snack stand.

I’m jealous of the snack stand that Jian Yunlan is staring at with such a passionate and serious look.

So jealous.

I’m so envious.

But today, Jian Yunlan's gaze fell on Taotie.

Jian Yunlan stared at him like that and said...

What did you say? Taotie thought slowly and with some effort.

“…”

The stagnant air finally began to flow slowly again.

And Jian Yunlan's words, along with the thin air, finally slowly reached the Taotie's eardrum.

Finally, amidst the violent heartbeat, Taotie finally heard clearly what Jian Yunlan said -

"Master Taotie..."

"I like you."
