Chapter 40 Chapter 40 "Tell me, are we destined to be together?
"Let me go!"
Xuan Yi pushed away Mo Jue who was protecting him, and his bloody hands left a shocking bloody handprint on Mo Jue's chest.
"Why don't you help her!"
Xuan Yi's eyes were bloodshot as he struggled to stand up, clutching his abdomen which was oozing blood. Enduring the cramping pain, he gritted his teeth and stumbled towards the outside of the barrier. "Mo Jue! When did I ever teach you to stand by and watch someone die without helping?"
"Brother! How much clearer do you want me to make it?!"
Mo Jue grabbed Xuan Yi as he was about to leave the barrier, and said with red eyes, "If I had to choose between the two, I would definitely choose you!"
After all, he'd been with Biqing all this way, so to say there wasn't any friendship between them would be a lie. Sacrificing Biqing to buy time made Mo Jue feel somewhat uncomfortable.
But compared with his tribesmen and his brother, Mo never regretted his decision.
The clan cannot be without a king, and he cannot be without a brother.
Reality is always cruel.
Everyone has selfish desires.
Xuan Yi ignored Mo Jue's words and struggled to shake off the hand that was holding his upper arm.
After only a few steps through the barrier, Xuan Yi felt as if there was an impassable snow-capped mountain in front of him. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't cross it, or even get close to it.
The blood dripped from the corners of his clothes onto the white snow, blooming like red plum blossoms, leaving behind dazzling red petals.
As his raised foot was about to step into the snow, Xuan Yi heard the muffled sound of something heavy being dumped into the snow in the distance.
Looking up, I saw that graceful figure standing in the vastness, like a pine or cypress growing in winter, tall and resolute.
The dark brocade boots sank into the snow. The woman not far away turned around, and her clothes on her chest were stained with blood.
The woman's red lips parted slightly, her face as pale as the snow. She took a half step forward, then, as if all the strength had been drained from her body, she collapsed into the snow without warning.
The dejection and gloom in Xuan Yi's heart were swept away, and his eyes, which were as dark as the night, suddenly brightened up: "Biqing!"
Mo Jue, who was behind him, was surprised and delighted to see that Biqing was still alive.
Xuan Yi dragged his badly injured body, pushed away the snow step by step, and walked towards Biqing who was standing there blankly.
He saw it clearly, and just now, the clear red lips moved slightly, saying -
Xuan Yi.
Xuan Yi staggered to Biqing's side, knelt before her, and regardless of the blood all over his body, he embraced her in his arms.
His pale lips opened a crack, then closed again. This repeated several times, but Xuan Yi couldn't utter a single word.
All that was left was the sob in my throat.
His eyelashes were slightly raised, his eyes were tightly closed, and he was unconscious in the deep snow, but there was still a trace of breath in his body.
Xuan Yi's eyes flashed with ferocity, and Bi Qing's fearful and trembling voice drifted into his ears: "Xuan Yi, is he... dead...?"
"He's not dead."
Xuan Yi buried his head in Biqing's neck, greedily sniffing her scent. "It's because I'm useless that you're suffering. I'm sorry."
"I'm fine..." Bi Qing said absentmindedly, "Yes, it was Xiuqiu who saved me... I didn't do anything..."
"We'll talk about it later."
Xuan Yi supported himself on Biqing's arm and stood up. "The rest, ahem..." He coughed twice and looked at the barrier calmly. "Leave it to Ah Jue."
——
Xuan Si was seriously injured and fell into a coma. The black wolves following him suddenly became leaderless and their momentum dropped sharply.
Mingzhu and others took advantage of the opportunity and bit the black wolves so hard that they had to hide everywhere.
Even the little wolf cubs learned from Mingzhu and the others, and began to bully others, chasing the black wolves' tails and biting them.
When Black Wolf had been taught a lesson, Xuan Yi called for a halt: "That's enough."
The voice is still weak, but the aura is still majestic.
Mingzhu and others reluctantly stopped chasing.
It was not advisable to stay here for long. Mo Jue took Liao Ying and others to quickly search for some food. While Xuan Si was still asleep, he led the team away quickly and headed straight for the snow-capped mountains.
"Brother, why did you leave food for them?"
Team leader Mo Jue snorted in dissatisfaction: "Let's just starve Xuan Si to death!"
He knew that his brother didn't do anything too extreme because he felt sorry for the black wolves and they were his own kind after all.
My brother means well, but the other person may not appreciate it.
Xuan Yi, who was lying on his wolf spine, slowly opened his eyes and said lightly, "Watch the road."
Looking at Biqing who was curled up beside him, he endured the pain in his abdomen, forced himself to stand up and asked with concern: "What are you thinking about?"
"No, nothing!"
Biqing glanced at Xuan Yi without blinking, and said with concern: "Xuan Yi, your injury... lie down quickly..."
There was a source of heat in front of her. Biqing raised her head and saw Xuan Yi's pale face in front of her.
A cold palm covered Biqing's thin cheek, and his thumb rubbed her red skin repeatedly: "Don't think about what has happened."
Biqing pulled his hand down and stammered, "I almost killed him... I didn't think of killing him! It wasn't me..." She lowered her head very low, like a child who had done something wrong.
"You said the hydrangea is a divine artifact. Divine artifacts themselves possess spirituality. It must have seen you in danger, so it unleashed such powerful spiritual power to protect you."
"Can……"
Bi Qing looked at Xuan Yi in confusion and stammered, "But it was demonic power, not spiritual power, that injured Xuan Si."
Xuan Yi tilted his head slightly, his eyes narrowed, his mind filled with confusion.
"Don't think about it for now."
Bi Qing interrupted his thoughts and helped him back to his original position. Looking at his abdomen, which was wrapped in cloth to stop the bleeding, she sighed and teased, "I injured my abdomen before, and now you've injured yours too. Tell me, are we meant to be together?"
"The abdomen is weak and can easily be fatal."
Xuan Yiwen smiled and diverted Biqing's attention: "If we're really talking about 'fate', it should be the moment I found you."
"That doesn't count! You had no good intentions when you saved me. You admitted that!"
"Why don't I remember admitting it? Biqing, you must have remembered it wrongly."
"How could that be?! I wouldn't remember it wrong!"
Biqing's words made Xuanyi laugh. She exerted a little force on her abdomen, causing the wound to ache. Cold sweat suddenly broke out on her forehead and trickled down.
Biqing didn't dare argue with Xuanyi anymore and quickly gathered the little demonic power she had left in her palm.
Just as he was about to put his hand on Xuan Yi's wound, Xuan Yi grabbed his hand and said, "If you continue to use it, your clothes will be in jeopardy."
A picture flashed through Biqing's mind. She retracted her hands, covered her face, and stopped talking.
After a long pause, she managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Xuan Yi, you, take care of yourself!"
Biqing sat quietly beside Xuanyi, staring intently at the hydrangea in her arms.
The bloodstains on the hydrangea had long disappeared. Biqing poked the surface of the hydrangea and couldn't help but recall the scene of her fight with Xuansi.
At that time, Xuan Si smashed the barrier with one punch, making a deafening shattering sound and a powerful airflow.
The demonic power scattered as the barrier was broken, and the blue light made Biqing unable to open her eyes.
At such a close distance, Biqing had no time to resist Xuansi's relentless attack. She thought she was going to die here.
Instead of the expected heart-wrenching pain, there was an unexpected groan.
The blue light faded, and Biqing tentatively opened her eyes, but was so frightened by the appearance of the person in front of her that she forgot to breathe.
Blood flowed out of Xuansi's mouth. Because it was cold, the blood was still steaming as it fell into the snow.
His fist pressed tightly against the hydrangea, fitting perfectly without leaving any gap.
Biqing stood there in a daze, not daring to move. Although she had the intention to kill, when it came to actually taking action, she was timid and didn't have the courage.
As she was in a stalemate with Xuan Si in front of her, a cold wind blew, and she saw with her own eyes that Xuan Si's eyes rolled up and he fell straight into the snow.
The blood drained from Biqing's face in an instant, and only one thought remained in her blank mind: she had killed someone.
She desperately wanted to escape from here, but her legs felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't lift them no matter how hard she tried.
"Biqing."
Xuan Yi's hoarse voice brought Bi Qing back to her wandering thoughts. Bi Qing sat sideways, supporting her upper body with both hands, and leaned slightly towards Xuan Yi to ask, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Xuan Yi shook his head and said bluntly, "You look pale, and I'm even more worried about you." He then asked, "Are you just daydreaming?"
Bi Qing curled her lips: "How do you know I'm just daydreaming? Can you read minds?"
"Thinking about Xuansi again?"
"I was just wondering, why would Xiuqiu use her demonic power to save me? And why did she use a demonic power far greater than mine? I'm a god, and logically, Xiuqiu should have used her spiritual power to save me."
Biqing jokingly said, "Could it be that because you were worried about me, the hydrangea sensed it, and in a moment of panic, it lost its composure and nearly took Xuansi's life?"
As soon as Biqing said this, Xuanyi felt as if a light had suddenly opened in his mind.
His face was solemn as he said, "Maybe...it's true."
Biqing tilted her head and let out an "ah"?
Xuan Yi thought for a moment, then told Bi Qing everything about how he and Xuan Si had fought, and how he was suppressed by spiritual power.
Biqing listened to Xuan Yi's words and carefully recalled her feelings at that time.
She said, "It's natural for me to worry about you. This isn't enough to make the hydrangea release its spiritual power. Besides, that spiritual power doesn't belong to me."
Xuan Yi speculated, "Whether or not the spiritual power belongs to you doesn't affect the control of the hydrangea. You are the hydrangea's master, and it must have sensed your current mood before it chose to attack."
"If that's the case, this hydrangea is a bit too difficult to use!"
Biqing flicked the hydrangea beside her hand and snorted heavily, "I was bullied so badly when I was a kid, and you didn't even offer to help me once!"
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
"you……"
Xuan Yi recalled the scene he saw when he was under Meng Chi's illusion. He wanted to ask something, but he held it back.
Curious as he was, he asked Biqing and voluntarily opened his heart to her.
There is a world of difference between the two.
Biqing only knew that she had spoken too hastily, and was completely unaware that her words had once again aroused Xuanyi's curiosity and concern.
She laughed and changed the subject: "We're almost at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, right? It's close to the human world, I wonder if there's anything delicious there!"
Xuan Yi followed her words and said, "It's so cold, we should only eat fish."
"Eating only fish is too monotonous. Xuanyi, once you're settled, will you go to the human world?"
Biqing herself didn't realize that the last half of her sentence was full of anticipation.
"If you're just looking for food, you should go."
Xuan Yi said, "However, there are many cultivators and demon hunters in the human world. I still need to think about it."
Biqing's words couldn't conceal her disappointment, but after a moment, she cheered up and agreed, "That's right! It would be terrible if they captured us! I've heard that in the human world, there are many demon hunters and immortal cultivators who like to capture intelligent spirit beasts and use them for their own purposes! It's so dangerous, I'd rather not go."
Xuan Yi smiled and said, "Biqing, how come you are so considerate?"
Just now he was clearly expecting me to come.
"I'm not a considerate person."
Biqing straightened up and sighed: "I just feel that your existence is far more important than mine."
