Late at night, after a thoroughly enjoyable workout.
Xin Sui lay on Xuan Tu's chest and suddenly remembered a question she had wanted to ask but had forgotten.
She raised her snow-white face, which looked as if it had been dampened by rain, and asked him, "Did you draw the patterns on my eyelids?"
Xuan Tu gently stroked her eyelids. "Hmm, the left eye has a tracking rune, and the right eye has... a protection rune."
track?
In other words, no matter where she goes in the future, he will be able to find her.
Xin Sui felt a little uncomfortable, but perhaps because they had just been deeply in love, she automatically made an excuse for him.
He must have been frightened by her being taken away by the River Styx this time, so he hopes that he can find her quickly next time something like this happens.
Needless to say, protection runes are even more important.
It was to protect her safety.
She had no problem with his behavior itself, but—
"Next time you draw runes on my eyelids or body, you must get my permission first. You are not allowed to do it without my permission."
Xuan Tu: "Okay."
When Xin Sui woke up the next day, Xuan Tu was no longer there.
Before, he would go out every day like he was going to work to kill the Inner Earthlings. Now that the Inner Earthlings on the surface have been basically wiped out, why is he still going out?
And they didn't even tell her.
She'll have to teach him a lesson when he gets back.
Realizing her own thoughts, Xin Sui felt she had become quite sentimental.
But so what if I'm being sentimental? Anyway, I seem to enjoy watching Xuan Tu quite a bit.
After having breakfast, Xin Sui released Leopard from the Turtle Pearl Space.
"My leopard has grown up again. When it gets a little bigger, will it be able to carry Mommy on its back?" and ran off.
Before Xin Sui could finish speaking, the leopard in his arms suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"Leopard, what's wrong? Don't scare me."
Xin Sui anxiously examined the leopard from head to toe, but found no wounds. Could it be sick?
She pried open the leopard's mouth, intending to feed it the healing potion.
She had never given injections to animals before and didn't know where to inject them, so she could only use this clumsy method.
However, while she was feeding the leopard, she suddenly realized that it wasn't breathing!
She tried several times, but it really didn't work!
She lay down on its belly to listen for a heartbeat, but there was none!
Xin Sui felt as if he had been hit hard in the chest with a heavy hammer, and the half-bottle of healing potion in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
The medicine inside spilled onto the floor, forming a small stain.
"System, Leopard isn't breathing or having a heartbeat. What's wrong with it?"
The system, though devoid of emotion, felt a pang of pity upon hearing her tone.
[It died.]
It scanned the Thundercloud Leopard and found that it had no vital signs. What else could it be but dead?
Xin Sui collapsed to the ground instantly, his body feeling like a limp mass of flesh without any bones to support him.
"How is this possible? Leopard was perfectly fine just a second ago. Even if he's dead, he shouldn't have died so suddenly!"
Even a cerebral hemorrhage doesn't happen this fast!
The sunlight that shone into the room gradually shifted, and finally moved completely out of the room.
The whole room went dark.
Xin Sui stayed by Bao Bao's side the whole time, never leaving his side.
When Xuan Tu returned, he saw her sitting like a puppet beside the leopard's corpse.
Even though he had already anticipated this outcome, he felt a strange reluctance to approach her.
No, she was his from the inside out, from head to toe. What did he have to be afraid of?
Xuan Tu came up behind Xin Sui and picked her up.
When Xin Sui regained consciousness and saw him, she kept hitting his shoulder.
"Why did you take so long to come back! Leopard is dead, it's dead..."
"Please help me save it, okay? I'm begging you, you must have a way, right?"
Instead of throwing a punch at him, Xin Sui hugged his neck and burst into tears like a child.
The grief that had been suppressed was finally released.
Because she had unknowingly come to regard him as a safe haven.
Xuan Tu sat down with her in his arms, patting her back repeatedly.
When she felt better, he gently separated from her, cupped her face in one hand, and wiped away her tears with his fingertips.
"Even if Leopard is gone, I'm still here, Sui Sui. I will never leave you."
Xin Sui shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "It's different. You are you, and Leopard is Leopard. Please help me save it, okay?"
She strained to open her eyes wide, trying to see his face clearly, but her vision was constantly blurred by tears.
Xuan Tu cupped her head in his hands, as if trying to force the words into her mind: "Leopard is dead, there's no way to bring him back."
Xin Sui closed his eyes.
For countless days, Xin Sui remained immersed in grief over the loss of Leopard.
During this time, Xuan Tu seemed to whisper something about the child in her ear, but those words didn't register with her at all and left no impression on her.
On this day, Xin Sui finally got out of bed, leaned on the windowsill, and unconsciously looked outside.
The giant python that had previously passed by the window and tried to break in reappeared.
However, this time the appearance of the giant python did not stir up the slightest ripple in her heart.
The way she looked at the giant python was the same as how she looked at stones, flowers, and trees.
The giant python, which had been coiled on the tree branch, suddenly fell down after she glanced at it.
Its heavy, massive body smashed through many tree branches along the way before finally crashing to the ground, turning into a bloody, mangled mess.
Xin Sui stared blankly out the window, initially not understanding what had happened.
1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds...
