Chapter 714: Preemptive Strike! (Second Update)
He waited until they were far away before taking action because he didn't want her to find out and see it with her own eyes.
But unexpectedly, she came back in just a short while.
Why bother?
Wouldn't it be better to just pretend that he just left her to play by herself, just like last time?
Why do you have to see it with your own eyes and feel sad this time?
Ying Kui thought about it and couldn't help but sigh again: "How stupid."
Xie Xihe's voice was hoarse: "You are stupid."
Ying Kui wanted to smile, but after pulling the corners of his mouth for a long time, he found that the remaining strength in his body was rapidly fading away, and he didn't even have the strength to smile.
His vision gradually became blurred, and he couldn't even see Xie Xihe's appearance clearly.
Ying Kui knew that the time had come.
He didn't struggle either. He took one last look at Xie Xihe and slowly closed his eyes. His breath completely disappeared...
The hall was filled with a sad atmosphere and a deathly silence.
"Miss, the master wants me to tell you something." After an unknown amount of time in silence, Ying Shou finally came to his senses and immediately remembered what Ying Kui had told him in advance.
Xie Xihe still held Ying Kui in her arms, her eyes lowered, her emotions unclear. Only her extremely hoarse voice faintly revealed her emotions: "Speak."
Ying Shou's eyes were filled with lingering sorrow, but because he had made sufficient mental preparations, he was still able to remain calm at this moment.
Speak slowly.
"The adults said that he was actually a very ordinary person. He was just a little smarter, a little better looking, a little more powerful, and a little luckier than others."
As Xie Xihe listened, the old man's reserved and complacent look when he said these words seemed to emerge in his mind, and he couldn't help but smile.
But when he looked up and saw the old face in front of him that no longer looked like before, his heart sank and his nose felt sore.
Ying Shou continued, "But no matter how outstanding he is, common sense tells him he cannot escape the cycle of birth, aging, sickness and death. But because of this ball of energy, his fate has been drastically changed. He is no longer an ordinary person."
…
"I'm one thousand and eighteen years old this year. I've already lived over nine hundred years longer than a normal human. I've already made a fortune."
"In fact, more than fifty years ago, I had already vaguely sensed that my time was coming to an end. That's why I left the Guardian Hall to look for a suitable successor."
"But I met Xihe, and my already seriously ill body suddenly felt much better. Then I survived and lived for nearly another twenty years."
"Then my health deteriorated again, and I thought I wouldn't make it this time. Unexpectedly, the ball of light that had been nourishing my body but unwilling to enter it suddenly accepted me, and I survived again."
"And then nearly twenty years later."
"These forty years have been nothing but luck, and I'm content with that."
"Whether it's the previous nine hundred years or the last forty years, this lifespan, more than ten times longer than that of an ordinary person, was given to me by Xihe. I can't just keep occupying her things and not return them just to live a few more years, right?"
"Just because she says she doesn't need it, you believe her. That girl has such a cold and indifferent personality. If it wasn't something urgent, she wouldn't even ask. She's soft-hearted and sentimental. I guess she's already guessed the effect this energy will have on me. I'm afraid she won't be willing to take the energy back even if it means her life in the future."
"In that case, I have no choice but to come here on my own initiative."
"When I take out the energy, tell her I'm going out to play by myself. That child is good in every way except for one flaw: he always deceives himself."
"As long as there's a little hope, she can convince herself that I'm not dead, that I really did go out for fun, and that will make her feel better."
"Fortunately, she now has a father and a mother, a husband, and friends. She isn't as lonely as before. Even if she does find out, having someone by her side will help her recover faster."
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have followed her during that time. If she hadn't discovered me, she would have left with her parents. If you had sent the energy to her after she left, then nothing would have happened!"
…
General Ying Kui spoke out all the words that he had been muttering and giving instructions to during this period, and it was only after a full hour that he gradually stopped talking.
Looking at the girl who still had her eyes lowered, he sighed in his heart and said, "Miss, I have always been serving the master and I know his situation best."
"For the past twenty years, he has spent most of his time in seclusion in the temple. He is only fully awake and able to move around in the outside world for one or two months a year. His body is already at its end, so it might be a good thing for him to leave now. You..." He comforted him weakly, "Don't be too sad."
Sheng Shijing had been holding back from interrupting Ying Shou, but at this moment he couldn't help it anymore.
He walked forward and squatted down opposite Xie Xihe. He reached out and carefully pulled Ying Kui out of her arms and gently placed him on the bed.
Then he lowered his voice and called her, "Xi'er."
Xie Xihe's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyelids, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes.
The focus went from blurry to clear, and she finally saw Sheng Shijing's appearance. She pursed her lips and called him hoarsely, "A Jing."
Sheng Shijing's heart trembled, and he used all his strength to control the urge to hug her in his arms.
He raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek. His voice softened as he said, "It's not the time to be sad. What you should be thinking about now is how to save Master."
Xie Xihe's eyes, which had been dull all this time, trembled, and he suddenly looked up: "What do you mean?"
Sheng Shijing lowered his head, his gaze falling on Ying Kui's corpse, and said with a complicated expression: "I just noticed it too. Master... is an old friend."
“He is Kui.”
Xie Xihe's pupils shrank and his heart began beating violently!
Kui represents thunder, and is responsible for thunder in all directions!
The God of Thunder, one of the fifteen ancient elemental gods!!!
Xie Xihe suddenly raised his head, his voice tense: "A Jing..."
Sheng Shijing nodded slowly: "We can't wait until March 12th."
As soon as Ying Kui's body on Earth dies, his original soul will immediately return to the ancient god realm and resume his position as an ancient god.
Regardless of whether he is Kui, the ancient god, or Ying Kui, Xie Xihe's master, they are both thorns in the eyes and bones in the flesh of some people, and they are afraid that they will completely kill him if they get the chance!
Now that Ying Kui has just returned, he is at his weakest and has no one to rely on. The other party will definitely not let him go!
So they must go to the Ancient God Realm immediately to find him and save him before someone else does!
So, they won’t be able to wait until March 12th next year…
They must strike first!
