Chapter 226: The Dead Are Gone, the Living Grieve
Outside the house, there were continuous screams, howling sounds, and the roar of magic spells.
Han Yang didn't know why it turned out like this. Everything was peaceful just a moment ago, but in a moment, the entire sect turned into an endless purgatory. They were only separated by a door, but it made him sweat.
But even so, he still tightly protected the child in his arms.
No matter how chaotic the world was outside, the child always slept soundly, as if the chaos in the world had nothing to do with her.
In the chaos, the Grand Tutor entrusted Xiao Lingxiang to him, and he must not let her suffer any harm!
His chest was beating like a drum, but Han Yang tried hard to control his breath, as if he was afraid that his heavy breathing would attract monsters outside, or as if he was afraid that his fear would disturb the little person in his arms.
However, just as Han Yang was staring at the door with red eyes, the door suddenly opened with a "bang"!
Han Yang was shocked and didn't care that he was still huddled in the corner, let alone whether he would disturb Lingxiang who was sleeping soundly. Although his cultivation was low, he still used all his knowledge and cast all kinds of spells towards the door.
However, he was just a child after all, and the man easily broke those dense spells with just a wave of his hand.
At this moment of chaos, the person at the door suddenly spoke, and immediately calmed Han Yang down.
"Han Yang! Calm down! It's me!"
It’s the fairy Tumi.
"Grand...Grand Master's Wife..." Tears welled up in Han Yang's eyes and he looked at Tu Mi with sobs.
Fairy Tumi was deeply distressed upon seeing this. The young man before her was only seven years old, yet he had to go through such a horrific thing...
"Don't be afraid, kid. Everything will be over soon." Fairy Tumi comforted Han Yang while reaching out to take the Lingxiang from his arms.
But Han Yang held the sleeping Xiao Lingxiang tightly and refused to let go no matter what.
Fairy Tumi was helpless. She could see the fear in Han Yang's eyes, but within that fear, there was also a hint of stubbornness. But now, with life and death hanging in the balance, there was no time to explain to this child!
"If you still want to save Yuanqing, give me the spiritual incense!" Tumi shouted loudly as a last resort.
Han Yang was stunned by the roar. In his impression, the Grand Tutor's wife always spoke softly and gently, and had never been so fierce to anyone.
Looking at the anxious Fairy Tumi, Han Yang hesitated and froze. But Tumi couldn't wait for him to come back to his senses. In the moment Han Yang hesitated, she pulled Lingxiang, who was still sleeping in his arms, towards him.
Little Lingxiang seemed very dissatisfied because her sweet dream was disturbed. She pouted and was about to cry. Fairy Tumi felt very distressed when she saw her, but still pressed Lingxiang on the armchair beside her.
Then Fairy Tumi placed one finger on Xiao Lingxiang's Shenting acupoint, hesitated for a long time, and finally made up her mind. She closed her eyes and raised her other hand to twist her fingers and make hand gestures.
I saw a flash of spiritual light between the two fingers of Fairy Tumi, and a spiritual thread floated out, searching in the air for a long time before they connected with each other.
The spiritual silk was like a silkworm or a spider, flowing and gurgling, like a dream. Han Yang didn't know what Fairy Tumi was doing, but Lingxiang looked very painful, her little face wrinkled, her body twisted, but she couldn't break free.
"Mother..." Xiao Lingxiang wailed, "Mother...it hurts..."
Hearing Lingxiang's crying, Tumi felt heartbroken, but she still closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, forcing herself not to stop.
"Grand Master's Wife!" Han Yang didn't know what to do for a moment. He didn't know what this Grand Master's Wife was doing, but Lingxiang's crying made him anxious. He struggled to get up and wanted to stop her.
At this moment, the middle of the spiritual silk suddenly exploded like a firecracker, and the burst of airflow bounced Fairy Tumi and Han Yang away. The room was suddenly in chaos, and the sound of broken porcelain colliding could be heard one after another.
"My son! My son!" Fairy Tumi ignored the blood pouring from her forehead and the sharp broken porcelain on the ground. She quickly got up and crawled towards Lingxiang, hugging little Lingxiang and started crying!
Looking at the fairy Tumi, who was covered in blood and tears, Han Yang didn't understand what had happened. But she saw Xiao Lingxiang's face drooping and motionless, with a look of shock on her face.
He walked forward woodenly and took the soft little hand, but that hand no longer shook his hand back as strongly as before.
The Grand Master's wife killed Lingxiang?!
"Grand Master's wife..." Han Yang spoke hoarsely with red eyes: "Lingxiang she... Lingxiang she..."
He really couldn't believe what he saw, but Lingxiang's lifeless little face made him believe it.
Fairy Tumi suddenly came back to her senses, suppressed her grief and wiped the corners of her eyes that were covered with blood, and said with forced composure:
"It's okay... She'll be fine..."
Fairy Tumi pressed one finger on Lingxiang's Baihui acupoint, twisted her fingers and made a gesture, and streams of spiritual energy poured into Lingxiang's body from between her fingers.
Han Yang was shocked when he saw this. Fairy Tumi was passing on her own cultivation to Lingxiang! But Lingxiang was already...
Even if Lingxiang was still alive, at her young age, how could she withstand the cultivation level of Fairy Tumi?
"Grandmother!" Han Yang wanted to speak out to stop her, but Fairy Tumi just looked at him and shook her head. The tears and blood on her face made it difficult for Han Yang to speak.
Fairy Tumi naturally knew that Lingxiang could not bear it, but if she wanted to save her child, this was the only way! However...
Her child! From now on, he will have no chance to practice cultivation!
Fairy Tumi was heartbroken, but she had to do it.
So what if he couldn't practice cultivation? Even if he blamed her or hated her in the future, as long as he could bring this child back to life, even if it was only for a short life, it would be enough!
After a moment, Fairy Tumi withdrew her finger gestures and took out a pill from her bosom. Han Yang only had time to smell the fragrance, and before he could see clearly, the pill was stuffed into Xiao Lingxiang's mouth.
Afterwards, Fairy Tumi used hand gestures to stimulate the elixir to circulate in Xiao Lingxiang's body, while pinching Lingxiang's pulse. After the elixir and Lingxiang merged, Fairy Tumi began to perform complicated hand gestures.
Han Yang had never seen such a technique before, but he could see a colorful light flowing from Tumi's fingers into Lingxiang's body, like a gurgling spring.
At this moment, a roar suddenly came from outside the door.
"No!"
Han Yang turned around and saw that it was the head master.
But now the Grand Tutor had disheveled hair and lacked his former elegance. Han Yang always felt that the Grand Tutor in front of him gave him a very strange feeling, but he couldn't tell what was so strange about it.
But that face is clearly the same once high-spirited Sect Leader Yuan Qing!
But for some reason, the master could never get close to him, as if an invisible formation was isolating him, and no matter how he shouted or knocked, it was of no use.
Just when Han Yang was at a loss as to what was going on, Fairy Tumi suddenly spoke, but her voice sounded extremely weak.
"Han Yang... from now on... you must take good care of Ling Xiang for Grandmother..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Fairy Tumi fell backwards. Before Han Yang could come to his senses, he was bounced away by a strong wind and hit the cabinet behind him.
The collision made Han Yang see stars and feel dizzy. When he came to his senses, he and Xiao Lingxiang were the only ones left in the room.
At this time, Lingxiang's face was rosy, her round belly was heaving up and down, and she was sobbing and mumbling, as if she was having a nightmare.
However, there was no sign of the headmaster and Fairy Tumi in the house, as if they had never been there. Only a mess remained. At the same time, the house became quiet outside, and the terrifying roars and miserable howls could no longer be heard.
Bursts of birdsong came from outside the house, chirping, as if nothing had happened, and as if announcing the end of the disaster.
…
Since meeting Fairy Yao Ji, although Lingxiang didn't say anything, Long Qi could see that she was depressed.
In the past, Lingxiang was always sincere no matter what happened or how she behaved. Just like the warm sun in winter or the spring breeze on your face.
But now...
Looking at the lonely figure sitting alone on the cliff, Long Qi felt that she would never again be the Lingxiang who laughed, scolded, and indulged in human nature.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so depressed?" Long Qi sat down next to Lingxiang.
Lingxiang was lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking about. Unaware of Long Qi's sudden appearance, she pretended to rub her nose to hide the tears on her face.
"I was just looking at the clouds. Yunzhongjun truly lives up to his reputation, able to create such exquisite Yunmeng, a place without sun or moon."
Long Qi naturally noticed that Lingxiang was crying, and her butterfly-wing eyelashes were shining with crystals, but since she didn't want him to know, he didn't say it.
He and Lingxiang looked at the ever-changing seven-colored clouds in the "sky", but his heart ached - he had never seen Lingxiang shed tears.
What on earth could have caused Lingxiang, who was always so unscrupulous and aggressive, to be so sad?
Long Qi thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of anything. He just stretched out his hand and hugged Lingxiang.
If it were any other day, Lingxiang would definitely push Long Qi away and start to hit him, but now she let Long Qi hug her like this, like a docile rabbit.
After a long time, Lingxiang finally spoke.
"If someone very important to you dies, and you can save her, but only if you have to sacrifice your life, would you do it?"
Hearing this, Long Qi suddenly helped Ling Xiang up and looked her up and down in panic: "What's wrong with you? Why do you say that?"
Looking at the nervous Long Qi, Ling Xiang quickly smiled and comforted him: "I'm fine, it's just a metaphor."
Long Qi looked at Ling Xiang suspiciously for a long time. Seeing her calm expression, he said seriously, "I will never let you fall into such danger. Even if it costs me my life, I will definitely protect you."
The determination in his eyes moved Lingxiang.
After a long time, Lingxiang smiled and shook her head, then leaned gently on Long Qi's shoulder.
"Look, we've experienced so many dangers along the way, so I'm just speaking from my heart. You don't have to be like this." Lingxiang said with a sigh.
"But if that day ever comes, you must never do such a thing. After all..."
"After all, if I'm left alone, all I'll have left is loneliness..."
Sadness never belongs to the dead, but to those who are still alive...
After hearing what Lingxiang said, Long Qi did not respond, but secretly made up his mind -
"I will never let that happen!"
Definitely not!
