In a shattered world, atop a massive floating rock, a girl in white embraces a dying man. The man rests his head on the girl's lap, blood streaming from his wounds. Gazing into the girl's beautiful eyes, he weakly forces a smile.
"I wanted to hold on a little longer, but... cough cough..."
Blood gushed from his mouth. Ayao stared at him, recalling the ending of her thousand-year-old dream where she and Luo Bai faced off with swords. Killing Luo Bai in that dream had caused her immense pain. How similar this scene was to that dream! But Nangong Qi was not Luo Bai; he was not Luo Bai.
"Ah Yao...you're really...really amazing, but unfortunately, I'm too weak..."
Nangong Qi gave a self-deprecating laugh, then coughed violently again.
Ayao hugged him, her voice sad: "I had a great time, really, I'm not lying to you."
She held Nangong Qi's hand, tears welling up in her eyes and dripping onto Nangong Qi's face. Nangong Qi looked at her crying face and reached out to stroke her face. His eyes were full of tenderness, but deep in that tenderness was sorrow and helplessness.
What merit or ability does he possess to make her shed tears for him?
"Don't cry, don't cry... To be able to die in your arms like this, I... I'm content..."
Tears welled up in Nangong Qi's violet eyes. As he stroked A Yao's hand, his vision blurred. He wanted to wipe away his tears and see the girl's face clearly again. He wanted to remember her firmly in his heart and etch her into his soul, so that he would never forget her, even in reincarnation.
But he was too tired, too tired, he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand.
He knew that the person she loved was not him, and that even her affection for him stemmed from someone else. But for him, meeting her was already the greatest fortune of his life; he dared not ask for anything more.
But... but he still wished he could spend a little more time with her, even just a tiny bit more...
His vision was blurred, and his consciousness was scattered. He breathed in A Yao's scent in the air, almost greedily, and in the very end, he was still unwilling to give up.
Ah Yao, Ah Yao, if there is reincarnation, will I be able to meet you again?
Nangong Qi is dead.
As Luo Bai's clone, he should have had his memories and soul return to his original body after his death, but Lou Munan had already severed his connection with the original body, so his memories and soul could not return.
He died as Nangong Qi, unaware of his true identity.
What's even more cruel is that at the moment of his death, the restriction Lou Munan placed in his body destroyed his primordial spirit.
Holding Nangong Qi's body, Ayao gently lowered her head and kissed his lips.
Large tears rolled down her cheeks as the beautiful scene of their first meeting flashed through her mind, along with memories of their time together. She thought she didn't love him, but at that moment, her heart ached terribly.
She looked down at his forever closed eyes and began to sob softly.
I will always remember you...
Ayao spoke softly, looking at Nangong Qi in her arms, when suddenly her eyes widened.
Nangong Qi's body is disappearing, along with his soul.
Her face immediately filled with panic, no, no, no…
She killed him, but he should have entered the cycle of reincarnation after his death, so why? Why is his soul dissipating?
Lou Munan's image flashed into his mind.
Hatred surged within me.
Lou Munan, Lou Munan, you've gone too far!
As Ayao watched Nangong Qi's dissipating soul, she frantically cast various spells with her hands, trying to condense his soul back together. However, he was dissipating too quickly, far too quickly. In the end, she couldn't hold onto anything. A piercing pain tore at her heart.
Nangong Qi vanished into thin air, his soul scattered.
She watched his body turn to ashes and his soul vanish, but there was nothing she could do.
"ah--"
In the vast space, the girl knelt on the ground and let out a cry of grief and indignation.
Lou Munan, Lou Munan, Lou Munan...
At this moment, A Yao recalled the scenes of her master and clansmen's tragic deaths in her past life. In her past life, he killed her master and her clansmen. In this life, he took Xu Fengzhi away and caused Nangong Qi's soul to be scattered. Unforgivable! Even if it meant mutual destruction, she would make him pay the price this time!
A terrifying killing intent emanated from her, forming a vortex that spread in all directions, causing the entire space to freeze with crackling sounds, the killing intent forming red ice.
Ayao was furious, but at that moment, a soft laugh rang out.
After the frozen space shattered, a man's figure appeared in the void. The man with black hair and red eyes stood high above, looking down at A Yao, a smug smile on his handsome face.
"Long time no see, Lu Xueyao!"
Seeing that A Yao's gaze was filled with anger and hatred, he smiled and said, "Didn't you like my clone Xu Fengzhi? Nangong Qi is dead, so why are you so angry?"
Suddenly, he feigned a look of sudden realization:
"Oh, I see. You like them both. You're quite fickle. But since you like them so much, why don't you protect them properly?"
Lou Munan's words were full of malice.
In the instant Nangong Qi died, A Yao regretted not giving him more life-saving treasures. But now she knew that no matter what she did, she couldn't save Nangong Qi's life. Because Lou Munan had already set his sights on Nangong Qi.
No matter what method he uses, that bastard Lou Munan will capture Nangong Qi, turn him into a demon, and then make him kill her.
This was used to force her to kill Nangong Qi.
He just wanted to make her suffer, to make her hate, to make her angry.
A Yao looked at Lou Munan, her killing intent surging like a tsunami in her heart.
Lou Munan, you succeeded! You've succeeded tremendously!!
A dazzling light erupted from A Yao's body, and her phoenix wings unfurled behind her. Like a shooting star, she rushed towards Lou Munan, and the Phoenix True Fire soared into the sky like a golden tsunami, following her like a shadow.
The tsunami-like flames represent A Yao's anger at this moment.
Lou Munan felt the anger rushing towards him and was extremely agitated.
When he saw her kissing the dead Nangong Qi, a surge of jealousy roared within him. He naturally wouldn't admit that it was his own feeling; it was Xu Fengzhi, that traitor, who had influenced him.
Ever since I took that guy back, I haven't lived a normal life.
Because of his carelessness, he suffered a great loss at the hands of this little girl last time. This time, this time, he is determined to kill this little girl!
With a wave of his hand, Lou Munan unleashed a massive burst of black flames behind him, which then transformed into two giant dragons engulfed in black fire, charging towards A Yao in front of him.
Rumble—
The moment the two forces collided, the entire Daming Palace collapsed. Layer upon layer of space shattered continuously from the shockwaves, eventually disappearing completely, revealing the night sky of the Void Realm and the bright moon hanging in the heavens.
