Yan Chenghuan was still unconscious, and Zhang Xu dared not give him the medicine, so she kept it in her hand.
When Xianjian Zhang Xu refused to use him, his face showed obvious hurt, which was heartbreaking to see.
"It's alright, I know I'm not very likable," Xian said dejectedly, sitting down on the threshold. "I haven't seen anyone in a long time. Miss, could you please listen to me?"
Although Zhang Xu was extremely anxious, she dared not show it on her face; the woman's appearance was too strange. They had already been in the city for a long time, and if the effects of the medicine wore off and they remained trapped here, she wondered if they would turn into the zombies outside.
However, not knowing who the person in front of him was, Zhang Xu dared not make any rash moves for the time being.
"The young lady and this young master seem to have a very good relationship!" Xian gazed longingly at the river in the sky.
Good relationship? Zhang Xu thought, Yan Chenghuan probably wants to kill her all the time!
“I used to have a close young man like that too!” Xian said to himself. “Back then, we would stick together like this. In spring, he would take me to see the flowers outside the city. In summer, we would go boating on the lake. In autumn, we would go to see the rice fields. In winter, there would be snow covering the mountains…” Xian spoke with great enthusiasm, and a pink blush rose on his face.
"And then? Why are you here all alone?" Zhang Xu couldn't help but ask.
"And then!" Xian looked hurt. "Later, he got married and had children."
"Isn't this a jerk?"
Xian didn't understand what she meant by "scumbag," but just smiled and said, "He has his reasons, I don't blame him." As Xian spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and they turned blood red as they fell.
Something's definitely up!
Zhang Xu remained vigilant, and upon noticing something amiss, immediately carried Yan Chenghuan on her back.
Xian seemed oblivious to Zhang Xu's actions, only covering her head and sobbing, "You still dare to speak up for him!" But it was a man's voice that spoke. Xian collapsed to the ground, her eyes bloodshot, banging her head against the door repeatedly, as if trying to knock something out of her mind.
Seeing that she seemed engrossed in her own world and oblivious to her surroundings, Zhang Xu carefully backed away step by step, carrying Yan Chenghuan on her back.
Backing away from others, Zhang Xu couldn't notice what was behind her. Before she knew it, she bumped into a bamboo tree, and the bamboo leaves immediately fell down with a rustling sound.
"You all deserve to die! You are all accomplices!" Wisps of black energy emanated from Xian's body! In an instant, the black energy condensed into a ball and attacked Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu disregarded everything else, picked up Yan Chenghuan, and ran away.
"Run towards the river!" Yan Chenghuan, who had woken up at some point, instructed her.
"Isn't the river in the sky? How can I run across it? I can't fly!"
"Run in all directions to the left, it looks like the end of the river," Yan Chenghuan said, making a hand seal.
Zhang Xu obediently ran over, and the moment she ran over, a light green gust of wind tightly enveloped the two of them. In the instant the black mist attacked, the two of them fell into the river in the sky.
When Zhang Xu scrambled out, she was already in the moat of the capital, with the bridge at the city gate not far away.
So that river in the sky was the moat of the capital?
Wait, where is Yan Chenghuan?
Zhang Xu splashed her way to the riverbank, calling out, "Yan Chenghuan! Yan Chenghuan! Yan Chenghuan!"
"Don't shout, I'm still alive!"
Yan Chenghuan sat by the bridge, his clothes soaked to the bone, black hair clinging to his pale face. The sky was ablaze with the orange glow of the setting sun, while the city remained shrouded in endless darkness. A faint smile graced Yan Chenghuan's pale face as he sat bathed in the sunset.
