The land of giants.
Snow mountains.
The white mountain peaks are like giant pillars, piercing into the dark and gloomy sky. The drifting snowflakes accompanied by the strong wind are raging between heaven and earth.
This is the northernmost border of the Giant Kingdom and the outermost area of the entire Asgard.
Palm-sized snowflakes fluttered down from the sky, covering up all sounds. In the dead silence of the snow, two figures suddenly emerged from the diffuse black lines.
Leng Xuan staggered half a step forward, his entire body below the knees sunk into the thick snow. He looked around blankly, his eyes falling on the black-haired girl who was lying in the snow not far away and struggling to get up...
"Konan!"
Leng Xuan pulled his legs apart, walked to the blood-soaked Si Xiaonan, and helped him up from the snow:
"Xiao Nan, are you okay?"
"It's okay..." Si Xiaonan shook his pale face, pointed at his palm, and smiled weakly, "When I was in Kunlun Xu, Queen Mother gave me a wisp of true energy to sustain my remaining soul. Even if Loki's soul is scattered, my soul will not die immediately... With this wisp of true energy, my soul can last for another half an hour.
This strand of true energy was originally used to prevent Loki from directly using the soul contract to wipe out my life, but now Loki is dead...
I want to use this last half hour to do something else.”
Leng Xuan seemed to have thought of something and stood there in a daze.
"Go home..." Si Xiaonan looked into his eyes and smiled weakly.
She smiled happily, like a child, raised her scarred hand, and pointed in a certain direction in the distance.
"Leng Xuan, Loki is dead! We are free... We... can finally go back to Cangnan."
Before he finished his last sentence, two hot tears ran down Si Xiaonan's smiling cheeks and dripped into the snow.
She stood there with light in her eyes.
"Cangnan..." Leng Xuan muttered to himself.
Soon, he came to his senses and looked at Si Xiaonan, whose life was gradually fading away, with complicated eyes.
He could feel how bad Si Xiaonan's physical condition was now. The Queen Mother of the West's true qi could indeed slow down the dissipation of her soul, but her body could no longer hold on.
The two "ghost guides" completely overdraw her body, and the double side effects will gradually drain all the vitality from her body... I'm afraid she doesn't have much time left. M..
Leng Xuan was silent for a moment, then spoke softly in the dead silence of falling snowflakes:
"Okay... let's go home."
Hearing this answer, Si Xiaonan's smile became even brighter, and her clear eyes curved slightly... This is the beauty and joy that any young girl of the same age should enjoy.
Si Xiaonan grabbed Leng Xuan's wrist, and threads of deception intertwined around the two of them. In the blink of an eye, their figures disappeared without a trace.
When Leng Xuan opened his eyes again, they were already standing in the ruins of a Western-style house.
A hazy fog enveloped the surroundings, and the dim sunlight shone through the clouds and fog, as if sprinkling countless gray lead particles, making the surrounding buildings pale and desolate.
This is not Daxia.
"Cough cough cough..." Leng Xuan was about to speak when Si Xiaonan beside him started coughing violently.
Si Xiaonan bent down in pain, coughing up black blood from her throat. Her originally clear tears were now stained with blood, turning her eyes red.
"Xiao Nan!" Leng Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I'm fine..." Si Xiaonan's red eyes were a little dazed. She looked at the ground under her feet, and her voice was so soft that it seemed like she was muttering to herself, "Loki is dead... The only trick law in the world is constantly flowing into my body... As long as I want, I can weave a 'trick' and move directly to the vicinity of Daxia...
I'm just a little tired...
Give me some more time... I can definitely..."
Before Leng Xuan could reach out to help her up, countless black threads condensed around Si Xiaonan's body and their figures disappeared again.
Repeating this several times, Leng Xuan watched with his own eyes as they moved from the giant country of Asgard, to the European continent in the real world, to an isolated island in the ocean, and then to an unknown abandoned city... Every time they used a "trick", Si Xiaonan would spit out a large amount of black blood, and his clear eyes became more and more turbid.
Even so, she said nothing, like a stubborn child, trying desperately to find the direction of home.
Leng Xuan also did not speak. He just silently gritted his teeth until traces of blood oozed from the corners of his mouth. His bloodshot eyes were filled with heartache and powerlessness.
He would not persuade Si Xiaonan to give up, because he knew that this was Si Xiaonan's last wish...
When their figures appeared again in a snowy field shrouded in mist, the black thread of deception dissipated, and a muffled sound came from Leng Xuan's side.
Si Xiaonan fell down.
In the wind and snow, Leng Xuan used his only remaining arm to pick her up with difficulty.
"Leng Xuan... I feel like I'm losing my sight..." Si Xiaonan murmured softly, his deep red eyes completely losing focus.
"Can you... carry me home..."
The side effects of the double ghost attraction began to drain all the vitality from her body bit by bit. After her limbs became unable to move, her vision began to fade.
In her world, besides the endless red before her eyes, there was only Leng Xuan's heavy breathing.
He was silent for a moment, "Okay."
Si Xiaonan felt dizzy and then she lay on a solid back, holding her body with one arm, and walked forward unsteadily.
Si Xiaonan's hands were around Leng Xuan's neck, and she suddenly felt a gentle and sticky liquid flowing slowly.
"Leng Xuan...you are injured..." Si Xiaonan's gradually confused consciousness suddenly woke up and he spoke softly.
"It's just a little scratch, nothing serious." Leng Xuan said calmly.
Si Xiaonan pursed her pale lips. She was silent for a long time. She reached into her arms with a trembling hand, took out a flawless, round pill, and handed it to Leng Xuan's mouth...
"Open your mouth."
"Eternal Life Pill?" Leng Xuan paused, "Didn't you say you wanted to send this thing back to Da Xia?"
"...I've changed my mind." Si Xiaonan smiled weakly, "Since this pill has been refined, it is meant to be eaten by people... In that case, why can't I let you eat it?
Although you don’t have the Forbidden Ruins or the Divine Ruins, I believe that you are the most suitable person in the world for this pill…”
"What about you? You took this pill back, and you killed Loki... Why can't you eat it?"
Si Xiaonan was silent for a moment, then spoke bitterly:
"I... don't deserve it."
"Why? Because you betrayed Daxia? Or because you are the agent of the conspiracy?" Leng Xuan shook his head firmly, "Xiao Nan, I really don't need this pill, you yourself..."
"Open your mouth!" Si Xiaonan raised his voice and repeated it again, his tone extremely serious.
"Don't let me spend the last of my energy on quarreling...
I won't argue with you, Leng Xuan, now I am half a god of trickery... you can't beat me."
