As time passed, Wen Liyu's cultivation finally advanced to the late Mahayana stage.
She seemed to hear her master and Yan Wen talking in a half-asleep state.
“…Time is running out.”
"Um."
"I can only hold out for two more years at best."
"That's enough."
Although Wen Liyu wanted to wake up and ask them what this conversation meant, her thoughts seemed to be imprisoned by octopus tentacles, slowly and bit by bit being dragged into the bottomless deep sea.
When she woke up again, Wen Liyu found herself lying on the tribulation platform at the back of the main peak.
"Xiao Yu, you're awake." Yan Wen sat beside her, bent one leg, looked at her with a smile from the side, his eyes full of deep love.
"Yan Wen." Wen Liyu turned her head blankly and looked around. Her master was watching them from under the tribulation platform.
She had a growing bad feeling in her heart, and stammered, "Master..."
"Xiaoyu, look at me."
Yan Wen came closer to her, and his fingers slowly moved down from her cheek to her chest.
The Tribulation Platform was surrounded by protective talismans used by the Master, like an upside-down bowl, covering Wen Liyu and Yan Wen on the platform.
There were only two of them on the stage. Wen Liyu tried to move her body and sit up, but found that she couldn't move at all.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly in the air, like a butterfly flapping its wings to fly, her eyes full of confusion and uneasiness, "Yan Wen, what are you doing?"
"Don't be afraid." Yan Wen lowered his head and kissed the corner of her mouth.
Wen Liyu felt waves of warm spiritual power coming from her chest.
Spiritual energy surged into her body, flushing through her meridians.
If the spiritual power originally flowing in Wen Liyu's meridians was like a stream, the spiritual power injected by Yan Wen was like a vast and heavy ocean.
"Hmm!" Wen Liyu's eyes widened. The sudden feeling of her body being filled up made her groan uncomfortably.
Yan Wen lowered his head and kissed her forehead again and again, his eyes full of love and affection, "Be good. It will be fine soon."
“No…no!” Wen Liyu’s beautiful eyes were covered with mist, “Yan Wen…stop!”
"Be good, little fish." Yan Wen's figure gradually became transparent under Wen Liyu's gaze, like a thin cloud of mist, which seemed to be blown away by the wind in the next second.
Wen Liyu hurriedly wanted to raise her hand to pull him, but she forgot that she couldn't move. She became emotionally unstable and shouted in collapse.
"Yan Wen?! Master, stop! I don't want your spiritual power!!"
Crystal clear tears kept rolling down her eyes, and the uneasiness in her heart was growing, almost enveloping her whole body.
Wen Liyu has been practicing for so long and is no longer the novice she was before. She can feel that what Yan Wen is transmitting to her is the original spiritual power.
Everyone's original spiritual power is equivalent to Wen Liyu's inner elixir. If the inner elixir is gone, Wen Liyu will lose all her spiritual power and turn back into a little koi. The same is true for people.
She didn't know how Yan Wen, as a clone, cultivated the original spiritual power, but she subconsciously rejected and even feared this spiritual power entering her body.
If Yan Wen doesn't stop, he will definitely disappear.
Disappearance means real disappearance, including the master. He will lose this part of Yan Wen’s consciousness forever and it will never be recovered.
Even if he ascends to heaven in the future, the master will fail to transcend the tribulation due to incomplete spiritual consciousness, or he will become the weakest immortal among all the ascenders after ascending.
She doesn't want this!
"What's going on with the system? I just took a nap." Wen Liyu kept calling the system, trying to figure out the current situation.
System: "Master, you slept for a year."
"I...I slept for a year?" Wen Liyu repeated in disbelief, "How could that be?"
She suddenly remembered the conversation she heard before going to bed, and the uneasiness in her heart became heavier and heavier, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Wen Liyu didn't understand how anyone could do this.
If someone asked her to give up the opportunity to make a breakthrough in the future, she would definitely curse that person to death and beat him up.
For Wen Liyu, leaping over the Dragon Gate is the same as her master ascending to immortality.
For her... the master gave up his 100% chance of ascending to heaven.
she…
Wen Liyu's mind was a mess and she couldn't figure it out.
"Xiaoyu, don't think too much." Yan Wen's thin lips slowly moved down from her forehead to the corner of her mouth, "Look at me more."
There was no dissatisfaction in his eyes that he was about to disappear. Instead, his eyes were full of love and doting for Wen Liyu, with only a hint of reluctance and sadness in the depths of his eyes.
Yan Wen's kiss carried the coolness of melting ice and snow, and the fresh scent enveloped her entire body. The kiss was very light, as if Yan Wen was comforting her through the most intimate contact.
Wen Liyu's tears were like pearls that had broken off the string, rolling down her face, flowing along the corners of her eyes, wetting her hair and the cheeks that were pressed together.
"Yanwen...no, stop it now." She spoke incoherently, "You'll disappear like this! I don't want to...!"
"You'll never see me again if you do this!" Wen Liyu sobbed, her tone full of sadness and collapse.
Yan Wen did not respond, but kissed away her tears bit by bit, without any lust, only the purest love and pity for her.
His lips fell to the corners of his eyes, and he sighed softly from his chest, his tone relaxing and soothing to his beloved fish, "Don't worry, little fish, I won't disappear, I will always be here."
[I will become one with you and will always be in you.]
Wen Liyu heard Yan Wen's thoughts for the first time in a long time, but she was not happy at all. This meant that Yan Wen had become weaker than her.
Her heart felt like it was being torn apart, air leaking out continuously. "No."
Wen Liyu's voice was filled with tears, "System! Help me think of a solution!"
System: "Host, you...sigh."
The system's mechanical voice fluctuated for a moment before returning to calm. "Beep... There are two ways to stop the hero. First, since the host has already completed the main mission of bearing a child, you can escape death and leave this world. Once you're gone, the hero will stop."
"..." Wen Liyu paused. She didn't want to escape with her life. It would be too cruel to her master. He would definitely blame her for everything.
"Second..." The system hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Second, the host purchases an extra-dimensional pill, separating himself from this world and becoming someone who does not belong to this world."
"But... after taking it, you can only stay in this world for another year at most."
Wen Liyu decisively chose the second option, and the system quickly exchanged the pills for her.
After taking the pill, Wen Liyu immediately felt rejected by the world. This feeling was dense and ubiquitous, like invisible hairs attached to her body, prickly and itchy.
The system beeped, and the uncomfortable feeling suddenly disappeared.
"System, thank you." Wen Liyu breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that the original spiritual power that had been continuously flowing into her body was rejected and returned to Yan Wen's body.
System: "You're welcome."
Yan Wen's eyes widened in disbelief. Even his master couldn't help but wave his hand, removing the barrier and flying to Wen Liyu's side.
"Little Fish?!"
