"You are my food, and you are not allowed to die without my permission!" Shu Xubai stubbornly refused to admit defeat, his eyes bloodshot, still arguing with Jiu Feng in a vicious tone: "You still think about being scattered in the sea of stars after you die? That's just wishful thinking!"
Ginger shreds: "!!!!"
You can't judge a vampire who's lived for thousands of years by normal standards. His brain is full of gray and he's completely abnormal. I should have just waited for him to cry and waited for his tears to flow before she woke up, so I could laugh at him forever!
Jiufeng was neither angry nor annoyed. She forced a pale smile, withdrew her gaze, and looked at Jiang Si: "Your Highness Jiang Jiang, thank you for coming. Please withdraw your spiritual power. I can't absorb your spiritual power, so don't waste it on me!"
Shu Xubai glared with red eyes, looking fierce like a proud and arrogant cat, only stretching out its paws, not daring to show its sharp claws: "I invited her here, I can let her waste her time if I want, what's it to you?"
Ginger shreds: "!!!!"
If he dies, his whole body will rot away, except for his mouth.
Why, you ask?
Stubborn!
It's rotten!
Jiufeng's pale smile deepened slightly as she looked at him like she was looking at a capricious kitten: "Don't be fierce, it doesn't look good!"
Shu Xubai's eyes nearly widened: "I'm the most handsome man in the world! If you say I'm not handsome, you're blind!"
"Can't you speak properly?" Jiang Si turned around, stood on tiptoe, and slapped Shu Xubai on the back of the head, scolding him, "Patients shouldn't get angry. If you want him to die sooner, why did you send me here? Just kill him with one sword, then everyone will be happy!"
Shu Xubai covered the back of his head, his pupils dilated, and his bloodshot eyes were practically spitting fire: "You hit me..."
"So what if I hit you?" Jiang Si stood on tiptoe, puffed out her chest, and looked fierce like a beast, pointing at the door: "Now you either get out of here right now, or I'm coming right now. I'm from Shudao Mountain, you get out of here right now, or I'll get out of here!"
Shu Xubai was about to explode with anger, but he was still stubborn and about to speak. Jiufeng clenched her fist and coughed, coughing so hard that her whole body trembled.
He immediately stepped forward, and under Jiang Si's spiritual power, he held Jiang Si's arm with one hand and patted his back with the other, his lips tightly pursed, as if someone owed him billions of tons of blood.
Jiang Si stood aside watching them. Jiu Feng was currently being kept alive by Shu Xubai and her spiritual power, and if that breath was about to dissipate, he would die.
She didn't bother to examine his internal organs; just by looking at him with the naked eye, she could see that he carried an aura of death, an aura of death where all the lush branches and leaves had withered and turned yellow!
It's difficult to manage and treat. No matter what we do, we can only keep him alive; he's bound to die, and no one can save him.
After a long pause, Jiu Feng stopped coughing and said to Shu Xubai, "Princess Jiang Jiang asked you to go out and treat me. If you don't go out, she won't treat me, and I'm in so much pain!"
Shu Xubai, the cat with its fur standing on end, had its fur instantly smoothed out: "I'm going out, I'm going out! What kind of treatment can't I see? Stop being so mysterious and making a big fuss!"
Jiang Si grunted in exasperation, "It's just a charade. Do you want to leave? Three, two..."
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm leaving!" Shu Xubai put Jiufeng back on the recliner, covered him with the blanket, and reluctantly and with great difficulty left his side. He came to Jiang Si and warned her arrogantly, "Take good care of him. He is my food. I didn't let him die, so you must let him live well for me. I will only let him die after I have drunk enough blood and had enough fun with him!"
Jiang Si not only rolled her eyes at him, but also kicked him: "You fucking act like a domineering CEO here, man, you've caught my attention, haven't you?"
"You only killed him after you were tired of playing with him? Where did you get this brainless, classic domineering CEO quote? I really underestimated you. You learn bad things instead of good ones. Get out, get out of here right now! It makes you angry and furious!"
Shu Xubai jumped back, dodging her foot, and quickly flashed to the door. He opened the door, walked out, and didn't forget to peek out, giving Jiu Feng a fierce warning: "Little Phoenix, you are not allowed to die without my permission, otherwise I will grind you to pieces and feed you to the dogs and the ferocious beasts, so that you will never be reincarnated!"
"Get lost!" Jiang Si used her mental energy as a blade and slashed directly at him.
The door slammed shut!
The mental energy blade struck the door, creating a crack in the sturdy door!
Jiang Si withdrew her spiritual power, flipped the door shut, covering the crack in the door, and turned to look at Jiu Feng.
Jiufeng lay on a recliner in the master bedroom of the spaceship, in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window, where she could see the clear blue sky and white clouds.
If you were in the universe, you would see stars and the sea of stars, a vast interstellar expanse and an endless starry sky.
Jiufeng looked at her, blinked slightly, and sighed softly, "You two have such a good relationship, it's truly enviable!"
"Is it enviable?" Jiang Si walked over to him and sat down in his recliner. "These were all earned with their lives!"
Jiufeng gave a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, her whole being appearing pale and transparent, filled with envy and sorrow: "To have such a confidant in this life is truly a blessing!"
“Perhaps!” Jiang Si held his hand with her left hand to take his pulse and found that his palm was full of blood.
Looking at the blood, Jiang Si recalled how he had covered his mouth with his hand when he coughed up blood, and then wiped it away afterward. Perhaps Shu Xubai saw it but pretended not to, or perhaps he simply didn't see it.
Jiang Si took out a handkerchief from her spatial storage, placed it in his palm, and wiped away the blood.
Jiufeng lay on the recliner, like a frail old man awaiting death, looking at Jiang Si with pale and weak eyes: "Your Highness Jiang Jiang, I didn't want to trouble you. I had already agreed with him that after I died, either you would put me in a black hole or burn me to ashes and scatter them in the sea of stars. He agreed, but I didn't expect him to go back on his word and cause you trouble!"
As Jiang Si wiped the blood from his hands, she said, "No trouble at all, I expected this!"
Jiufeng paused slightly: "I... expected it long ago!"
"Yes, I expected it!" Jiang Si wiped his hands very carefully, not missing a single drop of blood. "I've known that old geezer for thousands of years. I know everything he says and does!"
"If we didn't know better, we would have thought you would live for at least another year. We never expected you to pass away after only nine months. What happened in between that caused your body to deteriorate so much?"
Jiufeng chuckled softly: "You're so clever!"
Jiang Si raised an eyelid: "If you're going to die, stop being hypocritical. Speak properly. What are you praising? I'm your therapist. Your body has been through my hands. You don't have confidence in your own body, but I have confidence in my own treatment."
"Tell me, what happened that caused your body to deteriorate so much?"
“I saved someone!” Jiufeng could not keep any secrets from her. Her clear eyes seemed to be staring straight into his eyes, leaving him nowhere to hide his secrets: “A very cute, very small child. I saved him and got injured. The body you treated for me collapsed all at once.”
"That feeling was exactly like the outer layer of cement being broken through, revealing a rotting, filthy, and foul-smelling corpse inside—that was me!"
Jiang Si paused for a moment, then asked, "Does that child look like you or Lao Bai?"
Jiufeng laughed out loud: "He said he looks like me. He saw a picture of me when I was a child, and he thinks I look just like me when I was a child."
Jiang Si raised an eyebrow: "He said it's like you, like you when you were a child. You would save a child when he was in danger. Do you want that child to take your place and stay by his side?"
Jiufeng's smile gradually faded, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at Jiang Si.
Jiang Si's lips curled into a sarcastic smile: "After you saved that child, you never saw him again, right?"
Jiufeng's eyes snapped open as she stared at Jiang Si. After a long pause, her lips trembled as she finally managed to say, "Yes, I have never seen that child before!"
Jiang Si asked again, "My husband told you that the child is on this spaceship?"
Jiufeng nodded with difficulty: "Yes!"
Jiang Si sneered, "Congratulations, that child is dead!"
Jiufeng was shocked. Even though he had guessed it when Jiang Si said it, he still found it hard to believe that the child was dead.
Jiang Si took in his expression and said with a mocking smile, "Little Phoenix, should I say you're naive, or should I say you're adorable?"
"Old Bai said that the child looked like you, and you felt that you were going to die soon, so you went up to save him and made him your substitute so that he could stay by Old Bai's side after you died. What were you thinking? How did you come up with such a cliché substitute plot?"
Jiufeng's breathing became rapid, her eyes reddened, and tears welled up in them: "I'm sorry!"
Jiang Si's mocking voice grew louder and louder: "No need to apologize, I just think you're naive and cute. You even thought of such a cliché stand-in trope!"
"You're such a smart person, how could you be so confused on your deathbed? How could you forget that he used to have Jiang Jiang by his side!"
"Jiang Jiang, this child who never grew up, is a combination of my and Lao Bai's genes. He looks like me and also like Lao Bai. He has been by Lao Bai's side for two or three thousand years. Lao Bai treated him like a son and raised him like his own son. But what was his fate in the end? He died even when he made a mistake!"
"He said that if a child of yours looks like you, like you when you were a child, and that child is in danger and you go to save that child and put yourself in danger, Old Bai will not think that child is cute. Old Bai will only think that child deserves to die."
“I don’t need to guess, I don’t need to think, I can tell you directly that the time of that child’s death was the same time you were unconscious. Because you saved him while you were unconscious, Old Bai killed him!”
Not only was Jiufeng breathing rapidly, but her whole body was trembling, and her hands were shaking so badly that she wanted to pull them back.
Jiang Si grabbed his hand and wiped the blood from it, not letting him pull his hand back at all.
She was like a cruel knife, stabbing into Jiu Feng's fragile heart, letting him know how ridiculous it was that he was playing with his own body and making up some self-righteous substitute joke.
Jiang Si wiped the writing off his hands, held his hand in her left hand, and pressed her right fingers on his wrist, taking his pulse as she said, "Little Phoenix, Lao Bai and I have lived for thousands of years. What kind of people haven't we seen, what kind of things haven't we experienced?"
"The stand-in joke, it's a really funny joke, it's a really humiliating joke. You can only act like this because you're about to die. If you were even a little bit healthy, if your spirit were still intact, Walter White would definitely beat you up!"
Jiufeng said again, "I'm sorry..."
I don't know if I'm apologizing to Shu Xubai on my own behalf, or on behalf of the child who has already died.
But after this incident, his face became even paler, and his body seemed even weaker.
The rapid, heaving chest movements were only momentary; after that, the movements became less noticeable, as if the person was dying and was barely breathing.
Jiang Si's mockery vanished, and she said seriously, "I've already said there's no need to apologize to me. You made your own choices, and now you're bearing the consequences yourself. You're the one who's sorry, not me, not Lao Bai."
"Sometimes I really don't know if you're genuinely kind or just pretending. You're such a pathetic person, and our Lao Bai finally treated you like a human being, but you still managed to kill yourself in such a short time."
"Think about how pitiful my old man is. He enjoyed thousands of years of happiness, only to be ruined by you, a mere food. If his people heard this, their laughter would surely echo across the heavens."
Jiufeng's lips, devoid of any blood, trembled as he gazed at Jiang Si, feeling her spiritual energy flow into his body through his wrist. However, his body was dilapidated, like a drafty house, unable to retain any warmth.
Her spiritual energy entered his body but immediately leaked out, having no effect whatsoever and merely wasting her spiritual energy.
Jiang Si suppressed her breath, and streams of spiritual energy entered his body, while streams of spiritual energy also flowed out of her body.
This body, which no amount of mental strength can heal, is infuriating. It's infuriatingly unwilling, yet resigned to fate. She already knew the outcome. If she wanted that old, immortal vampire to be yelling there, she could only treat him here. But the treatment was ineffective!
Jiufeng moved her hand slightly: "Your Highness Jiang Jiang, don't waste your energy. You know my body and I know mine. I can't live!"
"My spiritual body has left me. I calculated that my death would occur within 6 to 8 months. Now... I have lived for more than 9 months longer. I will be leaving in the next few days!"
Jiang Si released his hand, placed it on his blanket, took out a cup from her spatial storage, and used her hand as a blade to cut her wrist.
Crimson blood flowed down her wrist into the cup. Upon seeing this, Jiufeng said, "Your Highness Jiang Jiang, what are you doing? Life and death are preordained. I've lived this long enough; I've already gained so much. You don't need to hurt yourself for me!"
"Don't flatter yourself, I didn't hurt myself for you!" Jiang Si filled a cup with blood, wrapped her wrist with a handkerchief, and held the cup of scarlet blood to Jiu Feng's lips: "This is the last resort. Drink it, and you will live for another 3 to 6 months like a normal person!"
