Chapter 45: Making a big mistake is nothing more than dying.
“There is a cause and effect between her and me, but I didn’t know her before. However, it could also be because of you.” The solitary spirit-raising practice was first inspired by him, so there is also a cause and effect between them.
Having no knowledge of cause and effect, Du Xing frowned and asked, "What cause and effect?"
"Born because of me, will die because of me," Lu Jiao said.
Upon hearing this, Duxing's already furrowed brows furrowed even deeper.
She thought there was only a minor karmic connection between Chang Kong and Lu Jiao, but she never expected it to involve life and death.
"You want to kill her?"
"I don't have that idea right now, and I don't know if I will in the future." Cause and effect is just a general direction, without details.
Just like Lin Jinshui, he had no connection with him, but from the perspective of cause and effect, he was born because of him and died because of him.
He didn't know how he was born because of him, but he probably knew how he died because of him.
“She wants me to set her free,” Duxing said. “Originally, I wanted her to cooperate with my research first, and then I would set her free, but now I’m a little hesitant.” She was afraid that if she were to be set free, Changkong would not be heading towards freedom, but towards death.
After all, she had raised the spirit of the dead for thousands of years, so she had some feelings for it. Moreover, Chang Kong had regained his sanity.
If she could, she wished she could live.
“Cause and effect cannot be changed. No matter what choice you make, she will face her predetermined fate,” Lu Jiao said.
Du Xing didn't respond to his words, his brows lowered, lost in thought.
After a moment, she said, "I don't believe in cause and effect; I only believe in myself."
Lu Jiao knew that her so-called disbelief in cause and effect did not mean she did not believe that Chang Kong would die because of him, but that she wanted to change Han Qi's predetermined fate.
She wanted to revive Han Qi, even if the hope was slim.
Lu Jiao once tried to revive Han Qi, but he failed.
He didn't think she could succeed on her own, but he didn't give up on her hope either, because he was the one who first gave her that hope.
After leaving alone, Lu Jiao stayed in mid-air for a while before returning to Lin Jianyu and the others.
As soon as he returned, Lin Jianyu stared into his eyes.
Without the red silk covering him, his heterochromatic eyes were particularly striking, and also particularly... alluring.
Lin Jianyu was bewitched at first glance.
When she came to her senses, Lu Jiao was already in front of her... well, she was in front of Lu Jiao, and she was even cupping his face in her hands.
Lu Jiao seemed surprised that she would do this, and his eyes showed some astonishment.
She hadn't expected to do it, but she could foresee the consequences.
Well, it all boils down to death.
Since that's the case, she decided to do something really reckless.
Before Lu Jiao could react, she quickly wiped the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth with her fingertips.
The next second, she was sent flying backwards.
Because of her experience, she did not die from the fall.
Looking at the bloodstains on her fingertips, she hesitated for only a second before sticking out her tongue and licking them.
How to describe the taste?
It smells a bit good?
I'm not entirely sure, I'll try it again.
It smelled a little fragrant and was a little cool. It didn't taste like blood; it tasted more like... something else. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but it was different from the taste of her master's blood and also different from the taste of Zhuliu's blood.
When I wanted to try it again, I found it was all gone.
I wiped it in such a hurry that I only wiped a little bit.
There was still a little bit of lipstick on Lu Jiao's lips, but even though he was right in front of her, she didn't dare to go up and wipe it off.
Yes, Lu Jiao was standing in front of her right now, looking down at her.
Just as she hesitated whether to give him an awkward yet polite smile, he said, "You're dead."
Not long ago, right next to this spot... she couldn't remember exactly where, but it was somewhere nearby, he told her she was going to die, and then she almost exploded.
He said that she was dead, but she... she felt that she could still be saved.
"It wasn't me who wanted to look into your eyes, you were the one who showed them." No, it wasn't that she was actually knocked away by Duxing, but she didn't dare say that, afraid of being knocked away herself.
If she hadn't said it, Lu Jiao would have forgotten that he had once told her that everyone who had looked into his eyes was dead.
In fact, no one who has looked into his eyes dies; he says she died because she drank his blood.
“Every drop of my blood contains energy no less than your master’s heart’s blood,” he said. “Just wait to explode and die!”
Lin Jianyu: "..."
That was a really bad move.
"I only licked a little bit, probably not even a drop."
So, is there any way to salvage this situation...?
Lu Jiao's answer was: "That's enough."
Not a drop is needed, just a little is enough.
Lin Jianyu's heart sank the moment he uttered his answer, and then his body sank as well.
It's really cold.
I felt like I was being frozen from the inside out.
What happened to the prediction that he would explode and die?
This is clearly meant to freeze her to death.
“Save…” Lin Jianyu raised his hand.
"I can't save her." Lu Jiao wasn't lying to her; he really couldn't save her.
Lin Jianyu didn't believe him and grabbed his clothes.
Lu Jiao didn't move, still looking down at her. When their eyes met, he saw her dark pupils slowly turn azure.
