Chapter 88 Seven Hundred Years Later (The End) [BAD END/Good...]

In the end, the room was never used.

Qiong met He Yuan at Dan Ding Si once again.

Compared to their first meeting, the young man's vulnerability was almost tangible, like a glass bottle suspended by a thread, where even the slightest scratch could take his life.

Qiong placed the snacks she brought from Jinren Lane on the bedside table and looked at Heyuan with concern.

Xiaomi seemed to sense the young man's weakness, and no longer pounced on him as recklessly as before. Instead, she nestled obediently beside him, using her body heat to warm He Yuan's body.

Good ice.

This was my first impression when I held the dome.

He found several medical books at the Dan Ding Si and insisted on treating He Yuan.

“Alright,” the young man said with a smile, “then should I call you Doctor?”

Qiong's hand, which was resting on He Yuan's wrist, trembled slightly, and she stammered, "Y-that's fine too."

But he still wanted to hear He Yuan call him "Brother Pioneer".

Unfortunately, this is probably a rare, discontinued voice recording.

Qiong couldn't help but regret it; she should have recorded it immediately!

Whether used as an alarm clock to wake you up or as a lullaby to put you to sleep, each has its own unique charm.

Crane Kite couldn't get out of bed, so she could only tease the one-year-old Star Core Spirit.

He asked in a soft voice, "Sir, how am I feeling? Do I need any surgery?"

Qiong: "This...this still needs further observation..."

He Yuan immediately asked, "What kind of tests do I need to undergo? Could the doctor give me a list?"

He was like a very cooperative patient.

But Qiong knew that He Yuan was not.

If He Yuan had cooperated and obeyed, he wouldn't be lying here today.

-

Physical weakness is always accompanied by the degeneration of bodily organs.

Last night, just as He Yuan was about to take Ying Xing's hand and head to the Star Core Hunter's base, she suddenly started coughing violently.

The young man covered his mouth tightly to prevent anyone from seeing, but it took three people to pry his hand open and see his blood-soaked lips and blood-stained palms.

The blush at the corners of the eyes should have been alluring, but at this moment, it was a sign that the illness was worsening.

He Yuan's tightly closed lips were pried open, and the blood in her throat flowed freely down her cheeks.

As if he had lost control of his emotions, a liquid, whether it was tears or sweat, trickled from the corner of his eye. It mixed with blood and drew pink petals on Ying Xing's palm.

This severe cough is certainly not the first time.

Yingxing immediately went to inquire about the recent medical records of Yinlang, but everything seemed normal.

He Yuan waved her hand, "That was a fake... Don't—cough cough—"

If the truth were to be revealed, he probably wouldn't be able to go anywhere and wouldn't be able to help at all.

However, if this were the case, General Jingyuan would suffer serious injuries and would have to face the Alliance's accountability while still ill.

It would be better to let him take on one.

Unfortunately, no one listened to his explanation.

Ying Xing completely ignored Kafka's words, picked up the person and ran towards Dan Ding Si. The little cat in his arms also calmed down and comforted the young man with its soft paw pads.

Qiong said he could bring people to use aiming points, so the five of them returned to the Dan Ding Division and handed He Yuan over to Bai Lu for treatment.

After taking his pulse with a frown, Bai Lu simply said, "The prescription is what he wants to eat."

He Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and nodded in agreement: "What the Dragon Girl says is true."

Ying Xing took a deep breath. "Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

When Bai Lu said this, she was basically telling them openly that He Yuan was doomed.

Yingxing felt powerless once again.

He said he would spend his whole life accompanying He Yuan, hoping that during the days he was by her side, He Yuan would always be happy and always shine.

But what is the reality?

He was powerless to save the crane that had been suddenly captured, powerless to fight against the enemy he had always regarded as his enemy, and even broke his own promise.

What he and Danfeng did, and the consequences of that incident, became a source of deep anxiety for Heyuan.

The people of the Celestial Boat received abundant blessings in their bodies, but their spirits did not expand.

Overthinking and worrying can shorten the lifespan of ordinary people, but for long-lived species, it simply postpones the time of death.

Yingxing lowered his head and saw Heyuan beckoning to him.

"Brother Yingxing, come a little closer."

The soft voice sounded weak, yet it carried a reassuring firmness.

Under the watchful eyes of the other three, Ying Xing approached He Yuan's side, bent down, and his earlobes turned red from the young man's slow breathing.

"I'd like to eat your sweet and sour pork ribs, is that okay?"

Ying Xing immediately stood up, turned around and asked Bai Lu, "Where is the kitchen?"

Bai Lu pointed in a direction.

After Yingxing left, the Dragon Girl put her hands on her hips and looked at Heyuan, "Didn't I tell you not to use too much force? You and General Jingyuan, neither of you listen to the doctor's orders!"

"This is infuriating!"

He Yuan said helplessly, "My Lady Dragon Girl, I have a reason why I must do it..."

Bai Lu pouted, "I know, I know. If it weren't for the fact that you're still my teacher, I wouldn't care about you at all!"

【teacher……? 】

He still remembers what I said!

Danfeng had shared his ideas with Heyuan, but he didn't have time to put them into practice.

He didn't know how He Yuan had taken Bai Lu away or dealt with Long Shi, but when he realized that his words had been taken to heart, an overwhelming surge of longing and love welled up, even affecting Dan Heng.

Danheng wanted to say something, but realizing the current situation, he remained silent.

Don't bother him with my affairs.

Don't make him sad.

Danheng silently replied, "Okay."

—I will only stay by Danheng's side and won't say anything about Danfeng.

-

He Yuan smiled and said, "The Dragon Girl is already capable of handling things on her own, and I, her teacher, have long since retired."

"Just call me by my name from now on."

Bai Lu said nonchalantly, "Fine, but from now on—if you want to live a little longer, you'd better stay in bed!"

"If you really want to go out, find someone to push your wheelchair. Getting some sun is a good idea."

After leaving the medical instructions, she was about to leave when she turned to the other three people at the door and said with concern, "Remember to keep a close eye on him!"

The crane and kite might escape!

Even if he can't escape, he'll still bewitch people and get them to help him escape!

Qiong felt as if she had been bewitched.

Teacher Danheng was the first to be bewitched, even before him.

Danheng swore he would vouch for Heyuan last night, but well…

In any case, Teacher Danheng is currently facing a major crisis of credibility.

In other matters, Qiong was willing to trust, after all, Teacher Danheng had only made a mistake in this one time. But in the matter of He Yuan, he always maintained a degree of suspicion.

Fortunately, Teacher Danheng realized the seriousness of the matter and refused to help Heyuan fabricate evidence.

So now, the one who has been tested has become Qiong.

After having sweet and sour pork ribs last night, Yingxing took charge of keeping watch and helping Heyuan with various physical and psychological problems. It is said that he even had to carry her to relieve herself.

He Yuan desperately wanted to refuse this position of being forced to urinate, but under Ying Xing's forceful suppression, she was almost powerless to fight back.

His physical decline has severely affected his fighting ability, making him someone anyone can bully now.

...Although Yingxing didn't have any other romantic intentions, Heyuan just resisted that kind of thing.

Based on his own experience, they had just used this position a few tens of minutes ago.

Fortunately, Yingxing noticed his resistance and helped him stand on a carpet.

But... we managed to hold it up.

Crane and Kite emerged trembling, huddled under the covers, not wanting to see anyone.

He definitely needed support, but—but—

This is still too advanced.

This resulted in Yingxing only keeping watch for the night, and being driven away by Heyuan early in the morning, allowing Qiong to take over the shift.

He had already contacted Silver Wolf, indicating that he would act as his second uncle's thoughtful "assistant" and not give Dan Heng a chance to take advantage of the situation.

Silver Wolf then told him about it.

After all, if Kafka and Blade wanted to leave, they would need Silver Wolf's help to clear the route and hack the surveillance cameras.

At noon, Qiong went to Jinren Alley to buy the food that Heyuan had specified. After bringing it back hot with a telescope, Heyuan began to "test" his will.

"Sir Physician, may I have a word with you?"

Who could withstand this?!

Qiong's face turned as red as an apple as she pretended to be serious and said, "Sir, we do not offer this service."

He Yuan looked disappointed: "...I see."

Then, the young man made a hopeful expression, "But I feel much better when I talk to you, and my body doesn't hurt anymore."

"Is it really not allowed?"

Qiong took a deep breath and grabbed a tissue to stop the nosebleed.

"If it's good for your health, I'd be happy to help."

"Thank you, Doctor."

...Who can withstand this!

Qiong Zhenxin believes that Ying Xing's ability to refuse back then shows a level of perseverance that is truly extraordinary.

He stayed up all night to finish reading the complete version of "Can I Go to Your House?" and was shocked to discover that Ying Xing was actually the one being pursued, and that she had been pursued for three or four days.

Because He Yuan's few words were enough to make him surrender completely.

"The Dragon Girl says she wants to bask in the sun, could you push me outside to take a look?"

He Yuan should rest, but Qiong couldn't resist his voice and expression. Dizzy, she took out a wheelchair, picked up the young man from the bed, and pushed him out.

The Dan Ding Division is located near the Lin Yuan Realm and also encompasses a portion of the Bo Yue Ancient Sea.

Standing by the wooden bridge, you can see the boundless sea and the faint outline of the Jianmu tree in the distance.

This was the first time Qiong had been alone with He Yuan.

Previously, there were other people around them, but this time it was just the two of them.

He Yuan spoke more freely and intimately.

Qiong even felt with certainty that He Yuan's voice was like a hook, drawing him in.

It's just an illusion.

He Yuan stroked Xiaomi's fur, her tone rising, "No, it's not."

He finally spoke his mind...?

He Yuan added, "Hmm, very cute."

He scratched Xiaomi's chin, and the cat meowed. "Right, Xiaomi thinks I'm right too."

No, that's not what I meant at all...

It's just a simple, comfortable sound.

"How about Qiong gives it a try?"

"Me?! Me?!" Qiong suddenly snapped out of her daze and looked down blankly.

As far as I can remember, this seems to be the first time He Yuan has called out his own name.

He Yuan stretched out a hand. "That's right, it's just me and Qiong here. There's nothing else or anyone else."

...Could there be something else out there?

Qiong was full of doubts, but her body honestly walked up to He Yuan and squatted down, putting her chin into the pale white palm.

The rounded knuckles rhythmically rubbed against the chin, while the thumb pressed back and forth under the lips, like tickling a little kitten, all over Qiong.

Qiong squinted her eyes in comfort, and then Xiao Mi slapped two paw prints on her face.

Laughter and affectionate comforting voices came from above, "Xiao Mi, Xiao Mi, come back, okay? I love Xiao Mi the most."

Qiong slightly opened her eyes and met He Yuan's smiling face and the kitten jumping up and rubbing against its owner.

So beautiful.

He felt as if he were seeing a kitten relying on a mother cat.

With her hand still supporting her chin, Qiong Xin looked at He Yuan in that position for a long time with a clear conscience.

From this perspective, it feels like he's half a little Mimi himself.

When Xiao Mi patted his chest, Qiong felt like he patted his chest too; when Xiao Mi pressed his face against his, Qiong could almost feel the young man's soft and smooth cheeks; when Xiao Mi shook hands, Qiong felt like he was interlocking his fingers with He Yuan's.

This is just like falling in love!

Qiong stared blankly for a long time until He Yuan's fingers slid down and pressed on his Adam's apple.

"Mr. Trailblazer? Snap out of it."

Qiong blinked, her gaze fixed on the beauty mark under He Yuan's eye and her lips that opened and closed.

Everywhere is beautiful.

Especially now, the sunlight shining from behind the young man made it seem as if the crane and the kite were glowing.

"Do you find this position comfortable?" He Yuan teased again, "Mr. Pioneer, aren't your legs sore?"

Qiong then came to her senses and stood up with a "whoosh." Her legs were sore that she wobbled a few steps and could only support herself with He Yuan's wheelchair.

This brought him closer to the youth.

If we get just a little closer, we can kiss.

He could already smell the floating sweet fragrance and feel the light, shallow breaths.

While Qiong was still in a daze, He Yuan leaned closer and touched the other's chest with her finger.

Mr. Trailblazer was wearing a simple two-piece suit, and the warmth from his fingers was clearly felt, making his chest feel hot.

He already liked He Yuan, and now he was so flustered that he couldn't say a word.

If March 7th were here, they would definitely make a big fuss.

The naturally abstract sacred body can no longer be abstracted?

That's a really big deal.

Qiong swallowed hard.

Crane Kite: "Pfft."

He lowered his hands, lay back in his wheelchair, and laughed heartily.

A normal person would probably blush and offer a long explanation right now, but Qiong is not a normal person.

You are so beautiful.

"I like you."

The serious yet blank face paired with a blush has an indescribable comedic effect.

He Yuan laughed even harder.

He looked at Qiong and said, "You know what? Before, in order to go on a date with Yingxing, I made up a story about someone I was going to date for a day, and had them vet him."

"Then I went on a date with each of them for a day."

Jingyuan has already made amends, so it counts as a date of one day.

Qiong knew a little about it from the show, "I know."

He Yuan looked at him slyly, "Then will you be my boyfriend for a day?"

The young man frankly said, "I have no future, so I can only give you one day to think about how to make the most of it."

Qiong was stunned, as if she had been hit by a pie, and didn't come to her senses for a long time.

He Yuan lowered her eyes and said dejectedly, "Qiong, you don't want to?"

"I do!" Qiong shouted, afraid that He Yuan would take back what she had said.

He lured the abundant spirit beasts by the roadside, and with a loud shout, Qiong rushed forward and dealt with the abundant spirit beasts within a ten-mile radius with a single blow.

But he felt full of energy that he hadn't yet released.

He Yuan was amused by him and laughed heartily.

"Yes, I'd like to."

Qiong started having unrealistic thoughts again: If this were a wedding, and he was wearing a suit while Heyuan was wearing a wedding dress, then their next step would be to kiss.

He Yuan is in poor health, so the wedding night can be skipped and replaced with putting her to sleep.

He fought his way through the bountiful monsters, but his fantasy was still not over.

He Yuan held Xiaomi and looked at him. "Mr. Pioneer, now take me back to my room. You should think about what to do next."

After escorting him back to his ward and handing over the shift to Danheng, Qiong left with an excited expression.

Dan Heng looked completely bewildered.

What did you say to him?

As far as he knew, Qiong was not a white phosphorus type personality and would not ignite for no reason.

He Yuan covered her mouth and coughed a few times, "I promised him some things I couldn't do, I just made empty promises."

He glanced at the countdown timer on the panel—

【3:35:47】

There's nothing we can do but compensate with more items.

Dan Heng: "...There's no need for that."

He thought that even if he told Qiong the truth, nothing would happen.

At least from the current situation, Qiong likes Heyuan very much, and as long as it doesn't involve matters of principle, Qiong will forgive her.

Of course, the principles of the sky are also very changeable.

He Yuan sighed silently, "But I hate the sight of a bunch of people surrounding me and showing concern before I die."

Even so, it couldn't stop the fact that he was about to die.

Instead, it put a lot of pressure on him.

"I see."

Danheng asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

He Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. "I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

He had always felt that Danheng was the backbone of the three, and the fact that he had previously asked Danheng to hide his illness from him proved this idea.

“Help me prepare a gift,” He Yuan said. “My death will be sent to them automatically, so you don’t need to take any responsibility.”

Danheng couldn't help but say, "Can't I accompany you on your final journey?"

He Yuan shook her head. "I have someone I want to leave my last moments with."

He took out the prepared gifts and the packaging that Todanheng had bought, wrote a short letter, and put them into boxes of different colors.

The time has come to [1:34:21].

He Yuan was lifted into a wheelchair by Dan Heng, and the prepared gifts were stuffed into the quilt.

With Bai Lu's tacit approval, they returned to He Yuan's own residence.

He left it to himself.

Many items from the old house were moved to the bridal chamber, but the furnishings remained the same, and traces of the past could still be seen.

What does death feel like?

You can't experience the feeling of a crane and kite in real life, but you'll get to experience it in the game.

The evening breeze on the fairy boat is always gentle, accompanied by the pale moonlight, like warm water washing over the body.

First, my hands felt weak.

Xiaomi was still on his lap, quietly keeping him company.

Animals have a more acute sense of instinct than humans. The cat didn't meow; it simply pressed its soft paw pads against the gradually cooling hand.

The kitten had seen other humans do this before and thought it could also warm up the human body temperature.

But it only felt the temperature under its paw pads getting lower and lower, the skin becoming transparent, the blood vessels clearly visible, and a slight tremor.

Xiaomi let out an uneasy cry.

He Yuan struggled to open her eyes and responded to him, whispering, "Xiao Mi, can I sleep for a while?"

"I'm so sleepy."

The kitten meowed sweetly and nestled quietly in He Yuan's arms.

Then came my legs; I completely lost all feeling in them, and I couldn't even feel the chubby little cat on my legs anymore.

When the wind blows, only my face feels a little warm.

Finally, the eyelids.

He Yuan wasn't sleepy, but his eyelids kept drooping.

He finally brought up the panel and found that there were only a few minutes left in the countdown.

Is this what it feels like to fight against death?

Crane suddenly remembered the place she went when she was resurrected.

Will we go there again this time?

【BAD END/A White Lie】

-

Won't.

He Yuan's vision went black as she returned to the pale login screen.

He sat on the sofa and saw a red dot in the "Ending Information" section.

There are attribute points as a reward after achieving all five endings.

But when He Yuan saw that tragic ending, she felt terrible all over.

Why did it veer off course and end in a bad ending?

He just couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

Is the reason due to sudden chaos?

What if he had sought help from a pharmacist beforehand?

Since it's an affair, helping out a little shouldn't be a problem, right?

Or perhaps he filled Yingxing's schedule with tasks so he wouldn't have time to think about other things, or maybe he didn't fall for the trap and secretly followed him without causing a commotion.

There are many solutions, but what He Yuan can't understand is why things have gone this way.

Their relationship was so good, and there was nothing wrong with it, so why did "letting nature take its course" become a bad ending?

The forum participants brainstormed and came to a conclusion.

One is identity, the other is a hidden contradiction.

The population crisis of the Vidyadhara clan needs no further explanation; after all, the fact that the Dragon Lord has two penises but cannot reproduce has been discussed repeatedly on the forums.

[Let's just talk about the conflict. The Vidyadharas helped the Celestial Ship guard the Bountiful Miracle, and the Celestial Ship provided the Vidyadharas with a habitat, allowing them to govern themselves. At the time, it was a win-win situation.]

However, the current population problem is urgent; after all, even the biggest camel will perish if there are only deaths and no births.

Their biggest problem isn't survival, but continuation.

Therefore, these successive Dragon Lords must have been researching how to have children (not really), how to perpetuate the race.

As everyone knows, Immortality split into Abundance and Procreation. Procreation ceased, and Abundance was forbidden by the Immortal Ship, so the Dragon Lord sought a solution within himself.

[Just at this time, some people felt that the Celestial Ships' contributions to the war were disproportionate to their gains, and that victory was far off, realizing they were merely insignificant pawns on the Star God's chessboard (an extreme view).]

[Just then, another very good friend passed away...]

When there are too many coincidences, they are no longer coincidences, but inevitability.

He Yuan looked completely bewildered: [Does this mean... no matter what I do, this is the result?]

[Pretty much. Looking at this storyline, one person achieves immortality while the other reincarnates, serving different factions but both striving towards the same goal—this is definitely a interconnected plot.]

[Moreover, the Destruction Envoy who was defeated is also quite powerful; he's Suiyang, an old enemy of the Immortal Ship, which seems to be extending the Hunting's fate.]

Crane Kite replied: 【Can't it be changed?】

The outcome cannot be changed, but the process is unpredictable. Reincarnation and immortality are broad concepts; the degree of reincarnation and the origin of immortality can both be manipulated.

Crane Kite closed the forum.

He believed it to some extent, but not entirely.

This forum user is a plot analysis enthusiast; he has answered many people's questions correctly, though he may occasionally make mistakes, his predictions are generally accurate.

But He Yuan still felt that he could try to make some changes.

You can try any of the options I just thought of. If none of them work, then proceed with the action.

The players are very persistent.

Especially when facing a favorite anime character.

He Yuan struggled to process the feeling of deathly silence that had just passed and pulled up the system panel.

Author's note: The next chapter will feature a banquet and gift-giving, followed by a return to the main storyline.

Ahhhhhh, I haven't finished writing yet! How could this happen?!
