“He Lin…wanted me…to find…you…finally…ah…uhhhhhhh!!”
Those few short words exhausted Yun Che’s willpower that had been struggling to wake up, and he fell into the abyss of nightmares once again. Apart from hoarse screams and frantic struggles, he could no longer utter a complete word.
“Lin’er…Lin’er!!”
He Ling's mind was in turmoil, and all she could think of was He Lin's shadow. It seemed as if He Lin was struggling in pain, which made her heart ache for a moment. She turned around abruptly and cried, "Master, please save him... He is Lin'er... He is my brother Lin'er... Please save him, please save him!!"
“…” Xia Qingyue stared blankly at the crying wood spirit girl. She was begging for Yun Che, begging just like herself.
“Ling’er,” Shen Xi’s voice was filled with a sigh, “He is not your brother. He is just carrying his Wood Spirit Pearl.”
“Ling’er knows,” the wood spirit girl said with tears in her eyes, “but… he is Lin’er’s benefactor, the person Lin’er entrusted everything to, and the continuation of Lin’er’s life…”
With a plop, she knelt heavily on the ground: "Master, please save him, Master, please save him!"
If a wood spirit loses the wood spirit pearl, it will surely die. To rob a wood spirit of its wood spirit pearl is an unforgivable crime and will make one the mortal enemy of the wood spirit clan.
But, the royal wood spirit beads are different.
The royal wood spirit bead on Yun Che's body had a complete aura and was a complete and perfect royal wood spirit bead. The only possibility for a complete royal wood spirit bead to appear on a human was that the royal wood spirit was willing to entrust it to him.
As the purest creatures in the world, wood spirits have the ability to sense good and evil. As a royal wood spirit, he is willing to sacrifice his life and give his wood spirits to a human. This may mean that he has done him a great favor that he cannot repay, or that he is willing to entrust everything to a human.
As a descendant of the royal family of wood spirits, He Ling understood this better than any other living being.
"..." The only response to He Ling's plea was a long silence.
She could feel the sadness and pain in He Ling's heart. Because her greatest desire, or even the motivation for her to live strong, was to find her brother He Lin... just as He Lin longed to find her. Because he was her last relative and the last hope of the Mu Ling royal family.
Now, He Lin's Wood Spirit Pearl appeared in a human being, which meant that He Lin was dead.
It also means...the Mu Ling royal family will be extinct.
This was undoubtedly a devastating blow to her.
And Yun Che, who was carrying He Lin's Wood Spirit Pearl, was like the last straw... or comfort... in her despair.
only……
“Master…” He Ling kowtowed heavily, her voice becoming a little hoarse as she sobbed, “Lin’er is dead… Ling’er… has no relatives anymore… Her parents died to protect her… and Ling’er… lost Lin’er… Not only was she unable to protect him for even a single day, she even… didn’t get to see him for the last time…”
"He is the person Lin'er entrusted to me... He is Lin'er's last hope in the world... I will protect him no matter what... Master... Please save him... Ling'er will not go anywhere from now on... I will stay with you for the rest of my life... I will stay with you for the rest of my life... Please save him..."
Sadness...tears...self-blame...guilt...despair...
This pure, beautiful, timid, and flawless wood spirit girl, her will and soul completely collapsed after sensing the wood spirit beads on Yun Che's body...
She watched helplessly as her parents and countless tribesmen self-destructed their Wood Spirit Pearls and died, which bought them a chance to escape... She and He Lin got separated during the escape... During those years, she searched like crazy, regardless of being targeted...
In this extremely terrifying and cruel world for wood spirits, finding He Lin is her biggest support to survive. Almost every day, she lives in the huge self-blame for losing He Lin... Three years ago, she went to a star realm where wood spirits were rumored to appear to find He Lin alone. She was surrounded by people, but fortunately Shen Xi rescued her and brought her back here...
She served Shen Xi and her only request was for her to help her find He Lin.
Now she knew that she would never see He Lin again, and the only thing left in the world was his Wood Spirit Pearl.
All the hopes, longings, and guilt over the years... were firmly tied to Yun Che under the misery of being on the verge of despair...
"well……"
A long sigh was heard from the misty clouds of the forbidden land of samsara:
"It seems that this is also God's will. When I brought you back, I promised to help you find your brother. Since I promised you, I will not break my promise. Ling'er, get up... I will save him."
He Ling's sobbing paused for a moment, and then she bowed deeply: "Thank... Master..."
These three words trembled with the soul. Although she had only been with Shen Xi for three short years, she knew deeply what these words meant to her… She was destined to never be able to repay this heavenly favor.
She looked at Yun Che with tears in her eyes. His painful voice and appearance made her feel suffocated. She grabbed his struggling hands and sobbed to comfort him: "Did you hear me? The master is willing to save you. You will be fine soon... You will be well soon..."
“…” It was as if a huge weight had been lifted off her body. While Xia Qingyue was feeling joyful, a deep sense of exhaustion came over her. She glanced at He Ling and bowed gently to the front: “Senior Shen Xi’s great kindness, Xia Qingyue will never forget it.”
"You don't have to thank me." Xianyin said slowly, still in a dream: "I saved him for Ling'er, and also because he carries the royal wood spirit bead, and will not taint this place."
Xia Qingyue shook her head slightly: "Senior, if you are willing to save him, it is a blessing from heaven. When the death seal on his body is removed, Senior, if you have any orders, Qingyue will... obey... them."
A divine sense gently swept across Xia Qingyue’s body. It seemed that at this moment, the fairy figure in the mist truly took a look at her: “What a stubborn woman you are. Have you always been like this?”
Xia Qingyue: “…”
"Although I can save him, the Brahma Soul Death-Wishing Mark on his body is extremely overbearing. It will take at least fifty years to completely remove it. During these fifty years, he must stay here and cannot leave even a step. Moreover, I need to seal his memory. During the fifty years here, he will not remember anything that happened before. When he leaves after fifty years, he will not remember anything that happened here either."
“Okay, thank you for your help, Senior.” Xia Qingyue was not surprised at all by the words beside her ear: “I will entrust someone to you, and I will come here to pick him up in fifty years.”
"Oh?" Xianyin exclaimed: "Why, aren't you the one to pick him up?"
“…” Xia Qingyue did not answer, but instead asked: “I would like to ask Senior Shen Xi, during these fifty years, before the death-wishing mark on his body is completely removed, is there any way to alleviate his pain?”
"Don't worry," the voice quickly answered her softly, "Although I can't remove his death-wishing mark in a short period of time, I can make it stop recurring gradually. Even if it recurred, it wouldn't be unbearable."
Immortal music filled his ears, and a ray of incredibly pure white light floated down from the clouds and mist, covering Yun Che's body.
As the white light approached her body, Xia Qingyue's beautiful eyes suddenly froze... She felt as if her body, blood, profound veins, and soul... were all being gently washed by the purest spring water. The pain from the wounds on her body caused by Yun Che's claws eased, and the hesitation and sadness in her heart were gently soothed. Even her five senses became exceptionally clear...
Is this... "the kind of power" that my godfather mentioned?
The white mysterious light gently enveloped Yun Che’s body. Immediately, his body’s struggles slowed down, the twitching of his muscles and blood vessels, and his screams also eased a little bit. It was as if he was scooped up from the blood pool of hell and soaked in a hot spring. Every cell and every pore in his body felt relaxed.
His confused pupils regained some clarity at this moment, and he slowly raised one of his hands while trembling... He had regained some control over his body, and uttered two clear words: "Qing... Yue..."
Relief is only relief, not complete elimination. Yun Che's entire body was still in excruciating pain, but it had reached a point where his will could barely withstand it.
The last bit of worry in her heart dissipated. Xia Qingyue bowed deeply to the front once again, and then whispered to Yun Che: “That’s great… Senior Shen Xi has promised to save you. You don’t have to suffer like this anymore. There’s nothing to worry about anymore.”
“Although fifty years is a long time, if you stay with Senior Shen Xi, no one will be able to hurt you again. If you can gain Senior Shen Xi’s praise or love, it will be… a great opportunity.”
"So, for the next fifty years, you should stay here peacefully and forget about everything outside."
With the Brahma Soul Death-Seeking Seal in his body, Yun Che was doomed to be unable to enter the Eternal Heaven Pearl, and thus lost the great opportunity of the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm for three thousand years. However, after being targeted by Qianye Ying'er, there was no place for Yun Che to stay in the world, and staying here, for Yun Che, was an absolute safe place for fifty years.
Because this is a forbidden area that Qianye Ying'er would never dare to set foot in by force.
“Since I have agreed to keep him, you don’t need to worry about him anymore.” Shen Xi’s voice came slowly: “You are the one who carries the Heart of Glazed Glass and is a girl blessed by the Heavenly Dao. Since I have kept him, I will allow you to stay with me and accompany him here.”
For Shen Xi, this was another exception… because of her Glazed Heart, which was rarely seen in hundreds of thousands of years.
After gently placing Yun Che on the ground, Xia Qingyue slowly stood up: “Thank you, Senior Shenxi, for your kindness. If he stays with you, Qingyue really doesn’t need to worry about anything anymore.”
"Qingyue has disturbed you for a long time, it's time for me to leave and go back to where I should be."
“Oh?” Shen Xi seemed quite surprised by this response.
She gave Yun Che one last deep look before closing her eyes, turning around and preparing to leave with an almost resolute look.
At this moment, the hem of her skirt was firmly grasped by a trembling hand. Yun Che's entire body was trembling, his face twitching, but the hand that was grasping the hem of Xia Qingyue's skirt was very tight: "Qingyue... where are you... going..."
As the pain eased greatly, his consciousness gradually regained clarity. Where would Xia Qingyue go, and where could she go... Only to the Moon God Realm.
As for the Moon God Realm wedding, she had already become the sinner of the entire Moon God Realm. Even if the Moon God Emperor really treated her like his own daughter as she said, and could forgive her no matter how big her mistake was… But, besides him, there was also the anger of the entire Moon God Realm.
Furthermore, no one could possibly believe that the Moon God Emperor would really eliminate all of his anger… The Moon God Realm might imprison her, expel her, cripple her profound strength… or even execute her.
“…” Xia Qingyue stopped walking but did not turn around: “Don’t worry, I will be fine… This is something I must face.”
