Chapter 93 Chapter 93 Together Forever (…
The wind and snow outside could drown people in an instant, and the sky was so gloomy that not a single ray of sunlight could be seen.
Lu Rong followed Ye Tang out into the wind and snow. In the dim night, she suppressed the confusion in her eyes and looked forward.
The jade token hidden in her arms lit up.
When she took it out, she saw the message her father had sent her.
Xuanyang Sect Patriarch: Rong'er, I dreamed of your mother. I don't remember what she said to me. Let's go see her together tomorrow morning.
Lu Rong blinked, his eyes became hot, and his vision blurred in an instant.
A drop of water fell on the jade plate.
Lu Rong wiped the letter with her fingertips without replying.
Instead, he put the jade token back and looked into the distance, where he saw the thick, undispersed darkness not far away.
It was as if the abyss was about to swallow up the entire Wujie City, including Zhou Li who was standing in the darkness.
There was no one beside Zhou Li, but standing opposite him was Zhou Ran, who had been possessed by another.
This person should have been the one closest to him, but at this moment, that person's eyes were very cold.
Zhou Li stood with his back to her, and Lu Rong couldn't see his expression clearly.
"Zhou Li, you want to trap me, you are a bit too conceited." Zhou Ran said.
Zhou Li didn't answer because Bing Lie answered for him first.
The ice cracked and rushed forward with a cold sword light, like a ray of light across the sky, splitting the thick black fog around it into a gap.
The ice cracked and hung in front of Zhou Li. With a clang, the surroundings were covered with frost.
"This sword is indeed quite good." Zhou Ran looked at Bingzhe with admiration. "But once you die, Bingzhe will disappear, along with the sword you gave to that little girl."
"Death?" Zhou Li asked calmly, "Are you talking about yourself?"
Zhou Ran burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, this young man is really arrogant."
"At the beginning, I wouldn't have been sure I could defeat you, but now you've given most of your divine power to Lu Rong, and you still have the evil spirit I left in you last time in Pingxiang Town. The fact that you can stand before me now makes me think you're courting death."
Lu Rong looked at Ye Tang: "What do you mean?"
"Back in Pingzhen Town, when Zhou Li broke the formation, evil spirit entered his body. He's a demon, and demons and evil spirits are mutually exclusive." Ye Tang explained, "But your spiritual practice with him should have eliminated some of it. After all, he didn't seem to have any problems recently."
"Because he never says it." Lu Rong whispered, feeling cold all over. "Zhou Li never says he's feeling bad."
Lu Rong couldn't understand what Zhou Li was trying to do. She was obviously just an outsider, so why should he give her his cultivation and divine power?
"Do you know what he is going to do?" Ye Tang asked her.
Lu Rong shook his head: "I don't know."
Zhou Li's thoughts are so deep that even her father can't see through his thoughts.
As the two were talking, the snowflakes falling from the sky suddenly stopped, and even the air became stagnant.
Lu Rong turned his head to look in the direction of Zhou Li, and saw that the black fog behind Zhou Ran was like countless sharp claws extending from the darkness, rushing directly towards Zhou Li.
Lu Rong wanted to go over to help him, but Ye Tang held her back: "Don't go over yet. You are a cultivator, and you can't touch the black fog. I didn't bring you here to let you take risks."
"Then why did you bring me here?" Lu Rong asked.
"I don't know what Zhou Li is going to do, so I asked you to come over because I was afraid he would go crazy." Ye Tang didn't want Lu Rong to get hurt.
While the two were talking, Zhou Li had already been submerged in the black fog. Lu Rong's heart tightened and she didn't care about Ye Tang's kindness. She broke free from her hand and tried to go over.
Unexpectedly, her sword flew out and blocked her way, erecting a high wall of light and shadow in an attempt to block her.
Lu Rong looked at his sword in surprise.
"This sword is also under the command of Zhou Li. He already knows you are coming." Ye Tang explained from the side.
Lu Rong frowned, and through the wall of light in front of him he could see Zhou Li flying out of the black fog with a sword, and several sword lights fell and pierced the black fog.
She was worried and nervous, her hands clenched subconsciously, and Ye Tang comforted her, "It's okay."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Rong saw Zhou Li being hit by the black fog. He flew back a few steps, and even bright red blood was flowing from the corner of his lips.
"Zhou Li!" Lu Rong shouted subconsciously.
Zhou Li turned back and looked at her, his eyes calm without any ripples, as if everything that happened was not an accident, but a normal development.
But Lu Rong still saw a comforting meaning in it, as if silently saying that it was okay.
Lu Rong pressed his hand on the wall of light that blocked his way, shook his head, and his eyes were filled with worry.
The system voice in my mind made a beeping sound, which was a warning and reminder.
[Host, the male protagonist's danger level has exceeded the limit. He is escaping the control of the plot, which will speed up your departure. Please stop him as soon as possible.]
Lu Rong thought about the plot about Zhou Li that he had seen before. The plot did not have those details, but what was happening now was exactly what happened in the plot.
"What do you mean?" Lu Rong asked the system in confusion.
【The male protagonist forcibly changed the plot. 】
"How did he know the original plot?"
[I cannot detect or control the male protagonist's consciousness.]
That is, Zhou Li might have guessed something from her words and expression.
【Host, stop the male protagonist as soon as possible. 】
The system's reminder made Lu Rong look at Zhou Li again. He could see that Zhou Li really seemed unable to defeat Zhou Ran, who had been possessed by someone else.
The black fog behind Zhou Ran was boundless, spreading down from great heights and submerging the entire Wujie City. This city, which was already somewhat lifeless, became even more like a complete ruin.
Zhou Li covered his heart with his hands, and the blood from the corner of his lips dripped from his chin, staining his collar red.
Lu Rong's breathing stopped when he saw this. He clenched his hands tightly and smashed the solid barrier in front of him a few times. Ye Tang also tried to break the barrier, but he couldn't shake it at all.
"What's going on?" Ye Tang was a little confused as to why Zhou Li was so weak now and why the barrier was still so strong.
"Zhou Li, break the barrier!" Lu Rong shouted, but Zhou Li simply stretched out his hand and the barrier, which was already unshakable, became even stronger.
Zhou Ran looked down at the scene below, his eyes filled with disdain and mockery. "Zhou Li, why didn't I see you were so emotional before? With your current abilities, it's impossible for you to defeat me. Wouldn't it be great to have two more people to help you?"
"You don't deserve it." Zhou Li said coldly.
"Hahahaha, so arrogant." Zhou Ran's smile was wanton, looking strange and absurd on that compassionate face, especially since the smile on his face had not yet subsided. He said with a smile, "Although I watched you grow up, only when you die can I truly become a human being."
With a wave of his hand, the black fog around him rushed towards Zhou Li again like thousands of troops.
Zhou Li raised his sword and swung it down. The sword light was as sharp as tens of millions of ice blades that gathered into a vortex to resist the black fog. The two powerful forces collided, and the罡气 rushed in, directly passing through the barrier and blowing Lu Rong back a distance.
Lu Rong's pupils suddenly shrank, and he shouted in panic: "Zhou Li, be careful!"
Zhou Li could no longer dodge. The several black auras rushing towards him from behind would directly pierce through his body. Her mind was completely blank at this moment.
Watching Bing Li fly behind Zhou Li and block the evil spirit, everyone could see that Zhou Li was already at the end of his strength.
He can't hold on any longer.
"System, I want to go and stop Zhou Li!" Lu Rong hurriedly shouted in his heart.
[Host, I can give you a golden finger, but you need to pay the corresponding price, which is to speed up the time of your departure.]
"Okay." Lu Rong nodded. Now leaving was no longer something she was afraid of, but Zhou Li would really die.
So it doesn’t matter what Zhou Li’s purpose is now.
She wanted Zhou Li to live well.
[Host, the cheat you will receive is a damage reversal. The damage inflicted on you by the opponent will be counterattacked exponentially.]
"That's enough." Zhou Li had already fallen down from a height while speaking, "Help me open the barrier first!"
The system responded, and Lu Rong felt that the barrier that had trapped him was gradually dimming.
"Lu Rong, the barrier seems to be broken!" Ye Tang exclaimed in surprise.
Zhou Li seemed to be distracted by this. His face turned pale for an instant. Seeing Lu Rong leaning over and rushing towards him, he was already attacked from both sides, and behind him was Zhou Ran's murderous aura. He could not avoid it and was directly swallowed by the black mist. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body fell down like a dead leaf.
"Zhou Li!" Lu Rong's voice came from afar.
Zhou Li looked at the fear and terror in her eyes, the wind whistling in his ears, and his heart was tightly squeezed.
Lu Rong could no longer find Zhou Li's trace in the thick night. Her voice was hoarse, her whole body felt like it had fallen into an ice cave, and there was a buzzing sound in her ears.
Seeing Lu Rong's resolute look, Ye Tang hurriedly grabbed Lu Rong and said, "You'll die if you follow me!"
Lu Rong was pulled back and swayed, with despair in his eyes.
Ye Tang pressed her down: "Zhou Li asked me to protect you. I'm sorry, I can't let anything happen to you."
Lu Rong shook her head, looking at the dark fog that had lost all trace of Zhou Li. She struggled and said, "Let me go."
"Lu Rong, what will happen to your father if you die?" Ye Tang grabbed her, "I'll take you away!"
"Didn't Zhou Li teach you that?" Lu Rong stared at Ye Tang. "Did he make another deal with you?"
"No deal!" Ye Tang's eyes showed reluctance, but he finally whispered, "He begged me."
Lu Rong's whole body froze, and he even doubted that he had heard that word.
"He begged you?" Lu Rong felt that she could hardly hear her own voice, which was trembling and extremely hoarse.
Zhou Li was such a proud man, he had never asked anyone for help, but he asked Ye Tang for her.
Ye Tang was also surprised at the time, because Zhou Li looked like he would never bow his head even if he died, but that day Zhou Li did beg her in front of him to protect Lu Rong's safety first no matter what happened.
He lowered his attitude and just hoped that Lu Rong would be safe. At that moment, Ye Tang realized that Zhou Li's love for Lu Rong was no longer a simple emotion.
Ye Tang grabbed her shoulders and said, "I'll take you up first."
"No need to bother." Zhou Ran's voice sneered, "Since you're here, let's die with Zhou Li. I can be considered to have accomplished a good thing."
Lu Rong looked at Zhou Ran, the despair in his eyes turning into mockery: "You don't really think that if Zhou Li dies, you can become a human? You are wishful thinking. Even if you become a human, you will be like a plague god."
Her words completely wiped the smile off Zhou Ran's face. He stared coldly at the overly beautiful girl not far away, as if he had become interested: "Such a face is indeed very attractive."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and countless black air began to try to grab Lu Rong, but as soon as it touched Lu Rong, there seemed to be an inexplicable force that directly rebounded.
Zhou Ran abruptly withdrew his hand, a meaningful smile in his eyes: "You are very interesting."
"I'm not interested. If you have the guts, just kill me." Lu Rong raised his neck, looking very arrogant.
"I really want to kill you." The other party seemed to not believe that a thin girl could resist him.
The power in his palm continued to grow stronger: "But I want you to watch Zhou Li being tortured by me more."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and saw a figure flying out from the black fog. It was Zhou Li. He was covered in blood, his breath was very weak and he looked like he was dying.
The scene before her had a great impact on Lu Rong. She shouted, "Zhou Li!"
"Stop shouting! His meridians are all broken and he's a cripple now. He can't hear you calling him." Zhou Ran said complacently, "I told you he can't be my opponent. No one can be my opponent!"
Lu Rong's face was so pale that no blood could be seen. Her lips were trembling and there was great sorrow in her eyes.
"Go with him." After Zhou Ran said that, the black mist wanted to attack Ye Tang.
Lu Rong quickly pushed Ye Tang away and stood in front of her. The moment the black mist with fierce murderous intent rushed towards her, Lu Rong felt the breath of death blowing in her face.
"Lu Rong!" Ye Tang's voice came with panic, but Lu Rong saw through the darkness that the unconscious Zhou Li suddenly burst out with a strong golden light.
Suddenly, lightning and thunder flashed in the sky, and the light that penetrated all the black fog enveloped Zhou Li.
Everyone was stunned by the strange sight before them. Even Zhou Ran, who was possessed by another body, saw the golden light, and a moment of struggle and confusion flashed in his originally dark eyes.
His lips moved slightly as if he was calling "Sister".
Ye Tang's expression changed completely: "So this is what he wanted to do."
Ye Tang looked at Zhou Li in disbelief as he gradually opened his eyes, and at the shadow of Zhou Ruo that appeared behind him, which was gradually dissipating.
It turns out that Zhou Ruo has been in Zhou Li's body all along, and he wants to get all her divine power and the only remaining half of her divine bone.
So just now he was pretending to be defeated by Zhou Ran, and deliberately made himself dying, just to make Zhou Ruo willingly give him those things.
Ye Tang knew that Zhou Li was a scheming person, but he didn't expect that he would dare to get involved and deceive everyone.
Now he completely possesses half of Zhou Ruo's divine bones and half of the divine power. The heaven and earth formation of Wujie City is also made of divine bones, and now Zhou Li is in the heaven and earth formation.
When the Heaven and Earth Formation is withdrawn, he will be able to fully become a god...
"Zhou Ruo, don't be fooled by him! Don't give him the only divine bone left in your body!" Ye Tang shouted. She wanted to rush over, but Zhou Li stopped her directly.
Zhou Li looked at Lu Rong. The next moment, Lu Rong felt the light approaching. The smell of blood mixed with Zhou Li's breath enveloped her. She felt so much pain in her internal organs that she couldn't breathe.
She looked up at him, a smile on her lips: "You're okay."
Zhou Li looked at the pale corners of her lips and wiped the blood on her lips with trembling fingertips: "It's okay."
Lu Rong's eyes were hot, and before she could say anything, she saw Zhou Ran attacking again: "Since Zhou Ruo is willing to give you everything, then you must die today."
He rushed forward with murderous intent. Zhou Li protected Lu Rong behind him and hit him directly with his palm. The wind blew violently, and the darkness around him was broken by the light from the sky.
Lu Rong put his hands up to cover his eyes, then lowered them a little, half-closed his eyes and looked at the two people confronting each other.
"Very impressive." Zhou Ran sneered.
Zhou Li had no intention of saying more to him. Bing Lie flew out from the darkness and rushed towards Zhou Ran with overwhelming sword energy.
Zhou Ran didn't retreat, but said, "Zhou Ruo, this is your brother's body. Can you really bear to let it turn to ashes?"
Zhou Ruo, whose energy had not yet completely dissipated, looked at Zhou Li. Before he could say a word, he saw the sword energy piercing Zhou Ran's body directly.
In an instant, countless black air quickly emerged from Zhou Ran's body, and his body shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a fallen leaf, swaying and falling from a great height.
This scene shocked everyone. Zhou Ran was now just a pile of flesh and blood.
"He died a long time ago, the moment you invaded his body." Zhou Li was ruthless and indifferent, "Just like when you took over Shen Congshan's body."
"Zhou Ruo, Chen Congshan has never lied to you. The one who has always lied to you is this half-human, half-ghost thing in front of you." Zhou Li's words fell into Zhou Ruo's ears, turning the hatred that had trapped Zhou Ruo for many years into a joke.
She looked up at the human figure formed by the black mist in the sky. It was Shen Congshan, but what that person said made her suddenly realize something.
"Zhou Ruo, I really didn't expect you to be so stupid. You still haven't discovered the truth. What makes you a goddess?"
Zhou Ruo looked at Sha'ai: "It's you."
"I am the only one in this world who can rival you, and I am the only one who can replace you!" Sha'ai's eyes were filled with hostility, and he spread his arms arrogantly, "The others will only be buried with you."
Zhou Ruo was struck by lightning, and she swayed: "No wonder I couldn't figure out your identity."
She and Sha'ai were born from the same origin, and they were mutually dependent and mutually exclusive. If someone else had taken over Shen Congshan's body, she would definitely know, but she couldn't find out about Sha'ai, so she mistakenly hated Shen Congshan for so many years.
"Hahaha, so what if we find it? We're all going to die anyway." Sha'ai said as his normal human body suddenly grew larger, like a tall building that suddenly rose from the ground, looking down at the ants below.
"Today you are all my gifts for becoming a god." Sha'ai said and stepped on them.
Bing Lie chopped at him, but couldn't move him at all.
Zhou Li embraced Lu Rong and retreated quickly. He waved his hand and created a sword wall to block Ye Tang's damage.
Ye Tang rushed towards Zhou Ruo and wanted to hug her, but could only pass through the illusory light in vain: "A Ruo, if you give everything to Zhou Li, you will disappear into thin air!"
"Ye Tang, I have done a lot of wrong things." Zhou Ruo looked at the dim surroundings and the ruined Wujie City.
At this moment, Zhou Ruo truly realized that his persistence over the years was actually a deliberate deception by others.
"Because of my stupidity, I have hurt too many people." Zhou Ruo actually wanted to be free a long time ago, but her identity prevented her from dying. She looked at Zhou Li who was holding Lu Rong.
The person she hurt the most was actually her child.
She saw Zhou Li's past in his spiritual sea, knew how he had been tortured, and was also aware of his leisurely and simple life in Xuanyang Sect.
Zhou Li endured all the suffering she gave him.
"Aruo, Zhou Li will forgive you." Ye Tang said in panic, "You are his mother, he won't be so cruel."
Zhou Ruo touched Ye Tang's head: "I'm too tired."
Ye Tang stopped talking. She looked at Zhou Ruo with red eyes and tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
"Ye Tang, grow up well." Zhou Ruo wanted to wipe away her tears, but she knew she couldn't touch her. "Flowers will meet their own butterflies."
Ye Tang shook his head: "I just like..."
"Ye Tang," Zhou Ruo interrupted her and stepped back, "Let's stop here."
After Zhou Ruo finished speaking, she looked towards the evil aura above, flew high into the sky, closed her eyes, and a golden magic seal fell down.
"No!" Ye Tang shouted hoarsely.
She knew that Zhou Ruo wanted to use the last bit of her spiritual consciousness to suppress the evil aura.
Zhou Li was holding Lu Rong. Seeing Zhou Ruo above, Lu Rong was a little nervous and grabbed Zhou Li's hand: "What is she going to do?"
The coldness in Zhou Li's eyes deepened: "She wants to help us trap Sha'ai."
"But she has lost her divine bones." Lu Rong looked up blankly, "How can she stop it?"
"The last spiritual consciousness." Zhou Li's words shocked Lu Rong.
"Then she will perish completely."
Zhou Li looked up, rarely without a cold response. He stared at the golden light scattered around Zhou Ruo above him, and covered his eyes with a pair of hands: "Don't look, Zhou Li, you will be sad."
His heart tightened because her hands were so cold.
It was as if the chill of a dying person soaked into her usually warm hands.
Lu Rong watched as Zhou Ruo above him completely disappeared and turned into a light that could illuminate the entire Wujie City. The entire heaven and earth trembled and let out a low sigh of regret.
She slowly withdrew her hand, and Zhou Li held her cold hand: "Wait for me, I will take you back to Xuanyang Sect immediately."
"Okay." Lu Rong nodded with a smile.
Taking advantage of the moment when Zhou Ruo trapped Sha'ai, Zhou Li took the Ice-Splitting Sword and cut his palm directly. Bright red blood flew all around. Then a formation appeared in the entire Boundless City, and twelve pillars of light supported the sky and earth of Boundless City.
This is the Heaven and Earth Formation.
The light from the heaven and earth formation trapped the evil spirit again.
"You can't trap me!" Sha'ai roared angrily, "Zhou Ruo is dead, I am the strongest now!"
Zhou Li did not respond. He calmly guided the ice crack to hang in front of him, and quickly formed a seal with his hands. The twelve pillars of light suddenly turned into twelve swords, surrounding the evil spirit on all sides.
"She is dead, but I am not." Zhou Li shouted, and waved his hand forward, and the ice cracked and rushed forward.
Twelve sword energies all pierced into Sha'ai's body, and the body made of black fog was shattered by the sword energy. Only a shrill wail was heard in the silence, and then the black fog in the entire Wujie City was completely eliminated by the overwhelming sword energy.
Revealing the normal night scene.
Everything seemed to have returned to silence. Lu Rong looked around and saw that there was no more oppressive evil spirit or black fog.
Even the moon in the sky appeared hazy.
Is it over?
She looked at Zhou Li, who was standing on a high place, with strong wind blowing his clothes. He stretched out his hand, and ice cracks flew onto his hand. The twelve sword lights were about to fly back into Zhou Li's body in unison.
But Zhou Li stretched out his hand to control the twelve golden lights and led them directly towards Lu Rong.
Lu Rong's pupils widened slightly as he suddenly realized what he was about to do.
He wanted to give her half of his divine bone. No wonder he transferred all his divine power to her last night.
[Host, he wants to keep you here and stop the male protagonist, otherwise he will be the one to disappear.]
[Host, please stop the male protagonist, otherwise I will erase his existence. ]
The system's urgent alarm sounded, and Lu Rong suddenly smiled, but tears kept falling.
It turns out that what he had been trying to do all this time was to keep her.
So he would rather put himself in a dying situation.
She looked at Zhou Li who was getting closer and closer, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes as he saw Shu Ran was about to achieve his goal.
But she looked at the black net behind him that was like Zhou Ruo's last spiritual consciousness, trying to trap Zhou Li. She rushed forward and hugged Zhou Li tightly: "Zhou Li, thank you for everything you have done for me."
Before Zhou Li could react, he felt a dark shadow pressing down from all sides, like a huge mouth of the abyss swallowing them up. However, the last trace of Sha'ai's consciousness disappeared the moment it touched Lu Rong.
Lu Rong felt pain all over her body. The system said that she could return double the harm done to her by others, but it didn't say that she would also have to endure double the pain.
Bright red blood flowed out from every part of Lu Rong's body, and her beautiful pink skirt was gradually soaked with blood.
"Lu Rong." Zhou Li held her, his palms covered in blood. The calmness in his eyes gradually disintegrated into panic and confusion. "Lu Rong, why are you bleeding so much?"
Lu Rong felt very cold and in pain. She held him tightly in her arms, her whole body trembling and she couldn't even stand. "Hold me, Zhou Li."
Zhou Li hugged her tightly, using his divine power to protect her, but all the power dissipated from her body. Zhou Li's hands were shaking: "How could this happen?"
He kept trying, even intending to introduce half of the divine bone into her body again, but without exception, no power could enter her body.
"Why is this happening?" Zhou Li didn't understand. He had planned a lot. As long as the divine bone entered her body, she would never be able to leave.
Why is it like this now.
His eyes were red and blood was oozing out, dripping from the corners of his eyes.
Lu Rong reached out to wipe it away, and her cold fingertips pressed against the corner of his eye: "It's not your problem, it's me who's leaving, Zhou Li."
In her mind was the time when the system reminded her to leave this world.
The sound of my beating heart is like a gradually weakening heartbeat.
"No!" Zhou Li hugged her tightly, with anger and anxiety in his eyes. He tried again to guide the twelve rays of light into Lu Rong's body, but still failed.
"How could this happen?" he asked her in a trembling voice, his tears mixed with blood falling.
Ye Tang saw Lu Rong's strange behavior and hurried over, putting his hand on her pulse: "Why can't you see anything?"
"It's okay, Ye Tang, it just hurts a little." She whispered, grabbing Zhou Li's clothes and trying to get close to his face. "Don't be sad, I will cry if you are sad. You know me, I have shallow eye sockets."
He didn't say anything but poured all his strength into her body again and again, but it was of no use. He clenched his hands tightly and bright red blood dripped from his palms.
Finally, Lu Rong grabbed his hand and pressed it against her chest: "Zhou Li."
Zhou Li's pale and cold body temperature revealed his despair. He asked her, "Lu Rong, do you want me to die?"
She looked at him, her eyes blurred by tears: "I don't want you to die."
"What should I do if you leave?" Zhou Li looked at him, his eyes bloodshot and overflowing with despair.
He thought everything was under his control, everything was in time, and everything was just right.
But I didn't expect that it was too late.
The voice of the system came one by one in my mind.
[Host, I am about to take you away from this world. ]
Please be prepared.
Lu Rong’s final preparation was to reach out and touch Zhou Li’s brow with her bloody fingertips. Zhou Li grabbed her hand.
There was a calm madness in his eyes: "No one will take you away."
"No one can."
After he finished speaking, he flew down holding Lu Rong, took the Ice Crack and stabbed it directly into his heart, and bright red blood dripped down the sword.
"What do you want to do?" Ye Tang asked uneasily.
She wanted to rush over, but Zhou Li stopped her outside.
Lu Rong looked at Zhou Li weakly and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I want to keep you." Zhou Li said, holding her gently in his arms, "You will never be able to leave me, and you will never have to be controlled by others."
He spoke each word calmly, but there was a frightening calmness in his eyes, as if it was a deep sea that could destroy everything at any time.
Just as she was about to be born, she saw a flash of golden light on his body, and another twelve golden lights gathered together again. The blood just now accumulated on the ground and turned into a formation, trapping him and Lu Rong inside.
The golden light quickly turned into a golden line.
"Lu Rong, in this life, if I live, you live, and if I die, you die." He kissed her lips gently. Lu Rong saw the golden thread piercing directly into Zhou Li's heart, and then into her heart.
The severe pain makes people dizzy.
The bones in her body seemed to be breaking and dissipating bit by bit, but the aura belonging to Zhou Li continued to fill her.
Her body and bones seemed to be growing back.
She clutched his collar tightly.
The system's voice in my head is chaotic.
[Host, the male protagonist... beep... beep... the male protagonist is reshaping your body, beep... alarm...]
Her ears were filled with the sound of rapid alarms.
Finally, Zhou Li's breath trembled as he whispered in her ear: "I will always love you, Rongrong."
When Lu Rong heard these words, he felt that the voice belonging to the system in his mind turned into a long buzzing sound.
Then there was a very faint sound.
[The system was forcibly destroyed, and the world lost its surveillance...]
Please fix it as soon as possible...
【drop………………】
Silence filled his eardrums, and Lu Rong didn't even know where he was.
She could only feel herself being held by Zhou Li, and he was gently touching her eyebrows, and then her lips.
Calm yet with a sense of possessive madness.
She thought that Zhou Li might have been scared crazy by her.
But the one who was really scared to death was Ye Tang. She took a step back in fear because she felt the murderous aura from Zhou Li.
He was covered in blood, his skin rotting and growing back.
Ye Tang covered her lips. She had never thought that Zhou Li could be so crazy. He destroyed Lu Rong's previous body with his own hands, and then used the divine bone to rebuild a new body for her.
The formation that trapped Zhou Li and Lu Rong was an ancient forbidden technique, the Heavy Body Technique.
The rebirth technique uses the powerful force of the divine bone to completely bind two people together and make them live together in harmony. However, the most painful thing is that the person who sets up the formation and reshapes the body of another person will have to endure the pain of his own bones breaking and skin rotting.
It's not just once, but it needs to be endured several times until the other person's body is completely awake and back to normal, then the torture can end.
The ground was covered in blood, but the bright moon in the sky gradually became brighter.
As the night gradually brightened, Zhou Li stood up holding Lu Rong, who had completely fainted. Ye Tang looked at the withdrawn formation and knew that Zhou Li had succeeded.
Now their bodies belong to each other forever, and if one dies, the other will die too.
She walked over and looked at Zhou Li. Before she could say anything, she saw Zhou Li handing her something from deep inside.
Ye Tang looked at the longevity lock in his hand: "She asked me to give it to you."
Ye Tang took it, and Zhou Li said, "I have collected a trace of her and Zhou Ran's residual consciousness in it. Whether you can cultivate it depends on your ability."
Ye Tang never thought that Zhou Li would actually do this: "Why, why give it to me."
“The feeling of total loss is painful.”
After he finished speaking, he hugged Lu Rong and left. Ye Tang looked at his back. She now seemed to understand Zhou Li's madness.
Even if he has to endure the pain of broken bones a hundred times in the future.
Not as good as the still existing Lu Rong.
He will live and die with Lu Rong forever in this life.
*
Xuanyang Sect has not been bustling since the Lingsui Festival, and the entire Xuanyang Sect seems a bit deserted.
The once bustling Zhuiyu Pavilion is now deserted.
Lu Wen sat in Lu Rong's house, often sitting there for a whole day. He looked at the scenery outside the window with a worried look on his face.
I have read the letter in my hand over and over again.
Rongrong hasn't woken up yet, but everything is fine, Master, don't worry.
The signature is Zhou Li.
There was another letter underneath, which was a letter Lu Rong left for Zhou Li two months ago.
There is also a painting on the table.
It had been two whole months and Lu Rong had not woken up. Lu Wen had ventured to Wujie City the day after the accident to see the unconscious Lu Rong and Zhou Li.
Zhou Li looked haggard and bony, as if he had been tortured day and night. He had lost his former vigor and vitality, but he remained calm.
But Lu Wen felt that beneath his calmness was a string that was about to break, and the thing that prevented him from going completely crazy was that Lu Rong was still breathing.
He asked Zhou Li why Lu Rong fell into a coma. Zhou Li told him everything. Lu Wen felt that he had already gone completely crazy inside.
After all, no one would use himself to reshape another person's body, and he would have to endure the pain of broken bones and skin day and night.
Zhou Li just said very calmly at that time: "Rongrong and I will be together forever."
Lu Wen was shocked and didn't say a word for a long time.
He originally wanted to take Lu Rong back that day, but he left alone under Zhou Li's gloomy eyes.
At this moment, he looked at the letter and portrait he had accidentally found in his hand and sent them to Zhou Li.
[The Xuanyang Sect's Patriarch: You should keep Rongrong's things.]
In Yongjiyuan, Zhou Li was carefully wiping Lu Rong's face, and he bent down to gently kiss her between the eyebrows.
Lu Rong had been in a coma for a long time and still hadn't woken up, but Zhou Li was patient because he knew she would wake up.
After receiving the message from Lu Wen, he looked at the letter and scroll that were sent to him and wanted to put them next to Lu Rong's pillow.
But he saw that the envelope was addressed to Zhou Li himself.
Zhou Li's hand paused. This was Lu Rong's handwriting. He hesitated for a moment before opening it and saw Lu Rong's round handwriting.
This letter is written to my favorite Zhou Li.
Zhou Li, by the time you see this letter, I may have disappeared.
Of course disappearing doesn’t mean I’m dead. I might turn into a beautiful ghost following you, or I might go to another world and become one of the ordinary people.
You may not believe it, but I still want to tell you that I will live a good life. Please don’t feel sad for me. Please, please.
Forget it, forget it. You will definitely say no. Then I admit that I will definitely not be better without you.
But it seems like I really have no other choice.
Zhou Li, is the price of liking you destined to be leaving? If that's the case, then I really want to fall in love with you sooner.
This way I can love you for a long, long time.
If I love you a little more, you will be very happy.
After all, without me, who would dare to love you? This really gives me a headache.
I hope you are happy, Zhou Li.
Deer puppy.
Lu Rong's laughing voice echoed in his ears: "I will be with you forever. I'm a puppy if I lie to you!"
The ink of the following lines of words had been blurred by water and was now covered by water again.
Zhou Li's vision was already blurred. He lowered his head and touched her lips again. Salty tears moistened the corners of her lips.
"I just want you to love me."
The wetness beneath her lips moved slightly. Zhou Li froze, unable to believe the slight movement on her lips. Her lips moved gently, as if she was sucking away the tears on them.
Zhou Li wiped away the tears and looked at her trembling eyelashes. A few drops of warm water fell on her eyelids.
He wiped the moisture off her face and looked into her open eyes tenderly.
He thought that she could still love him for a long, long time.

Lu Rong woke up after sleeping for two months, but she was very worried because Zhou Li was so thin that he looked unrecognizable.
She didn't know the reason, but just thought that Zhou Li didn't eat well during the time she was unconscious.
She felt that Zhou Li was the most vulnerable person now.
Anyone who touches him will break him to pieces.
So she took him out for a big meal every day. After all, she couldn't cook, so she could only continue to spend Zhou Li's wife's money to support him.
After feeding continuously for a month, Zhou Li recovered to the peak of his beauty at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lu Rong found everything pleasing to the eye and would stick to Zhou Li to sleep every night.
Zhou Li held her in his arms and was reluctant to let go. Lu Rong was more clingy than before, and Zhou Li was more enthusiastic than before.
It’s not enough to have fun every night, during the day when Zhou Li is doing things, Lu Rong still wants to rub against his arms.
Zhou Li belatedly realized a problem. He used the divine bone to reshape Lu Rong's body. The divine bone belonged to his body, so Lu Rong might now also have some of his body's attributes.
For example, the estrus period.
Lu Rong has been so clingy lately that it's a little scary. There's always an aura about her that's very attractive to him.
Zhou Li thought about this and searched through books overnight, confirming his idea.
Lu Rong also has estrus, but hers is not as serious as those of the demon race, and it changes with her estrus.
Zhou Li: “…”
However, the Black Snake clan will not stop estrus unless their mate is pregnant.
Lu Rong didn’t know all this. She just felt that she wanted to sleep with Zhou Li every time she saw him recently.
In order to divert attention, she has been going to A Qian's sister's tavern to help out recently, of course she has concealed her identity before going there.
Ah Qian is currently preparing for her wedding with Lu Fang and has already started cutting out wedding characters. Lu Rong is very good at drawing and has also become quite good at paper cutting after learning it.
"Rongrong, when will you and the Emperor get married?" A Qian asked curiously.
Lu Ronggang was bored and folding paper for her: "I don't know, he didn't ask me."
"The emperor loves you so much, he must be thinking about it." As Lu Fang's fiancée, A Qian knew better than Lu Rong what Lu Rong had endured before she woke up.
She knew Zhou Li's feelings for Lu Rong.
Lu Rong supported her chin and looked outside, realizing that Zhou Li seemed to have never told her about the marriage.
"Hey, Lu Xiaorong, let me tell you, men won't cherish what they have." Ye Tang's words echoed by the window. Lu Rong turned to look at Ye Tang who was drinking and snorted, "Don't say that about Zhou Li."
When Ye Tang heard the news that Lu Rong had woken up, he also returned to Wujie City and now works under Zhou Li.
But Lu Rong felt that Ye Tang was very idle, completely different from the busy Lu Fang.
Ye Tang scoffed at this and said that her cultivation level could directly kill the masters of the Eighteen Palaces.
But in fact, Zhou Li secretly told Lu Rong that all the work of Ye Tang was done by Xuan Die. Lu Rong chuckled after hearing this. Xuan Die was really a persevering little butterfly.
"Okay, okay, but you've been awake for half a month. Didn't your father ask you to return to Xuanyang Sect?"
"Yes, my father asked me to go back to Xuanyang Sect today to pay homage to my mother." Lu Rong has been forgetting things recently and loves to sleep a lot, so he is always in a daze.
She patted her head and said, "Then I'll go back and pack my things."
As she said this, she left in a hurry, holding a piece of the "囍" character she had cut out in her hand. When she went back to pack her things, she stopped by the palace where Zhou Li handled official business.
She pushed the door open and walked in, going straight to him, sitting astride his lap and burying her face in his neck like a child.
Zhou Li pressed his palm against her back and asked in a low voice, "Is your stomach still bloated?"
Lu Rong blushed: "Don't ask."
Seeing her shy look, Zhou Li smiled and reached out to touch her belly: "Your belly is as thin as your face."
"You... drank too much!" She raised her hand to hit him, but Zhou Li grabbed her hand and stuffed it into his arms. "Did you go to A Qian's place? How much did you drink today?"
"I didn't drink. I'm not a drunkard." Lu Rong said dissatisfiedly, although Zhou Li carried her back home when she was drunk the previous times.
She put her hands into his collar to warm them, and said with a smile, "Zhou Li, I want to give you a gift."
"What gift?" Zhou Li looked at her curiously.
Then Zhou Li felt something stuck to his chest.
He lowered his head and saw a brightly colored "囍" character pasted on his chest where Lu Rong's heart was beating.
