Chapter 286
"So, people who die are just malicious." Yingning chuckled at his logic and then asked another question.
"Then why did you come back to find someone as malicious as me?"
Seeing that she was still in the mood to tease him, Si Baixue could no longer control the trembling in his body. His heart ached as he recalled the image of her he had seen in Mirror Lake.
"Actually, the deathly aura on your body has nothing to do with coming to the Immortal Realm. Isn't that right?" He remained silent for a moment before finally speaking.
"yes."
"It has nothing to do with the celestial realm or the demon realm."
"It's you who's about to die."
“As you can see.” She nodded.
Si Baixue's eyes were slightly closed, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.
"So, you came to the Immortal Realm for revenge?"
He deduced this possibility from the image of the woman with phoenix eyes, but he didn't expect Ying Ning to smile and disagree with him:
"revenge?"
"Why bother with something so trivial?"
"Then what for?" Si Baixue suddenly thought of many details.
During her trip to the mortal realm, she seemed to have never mentioned returning to the underworld, suggesting that she had already planned to come to the immortal realm.
Her status as a disciple of the human realm is also an advantage.
Yingning did not reveal any further details:
"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."
He stood in the Heartless Sea, holding Ying Ning tightly by the waist, closing his eyes to try and forget the scene he had just witnessed, and forced a smile: "I returned to the Demon Realm and found a way to form a Heart-to-Heart Pact."
"It can keep you alive."
Whatever she wanted to do in the immortal realm, he was willing to accompany her.
The most important thing right now is her health.
"As long as you and I form a bond..."
As long as I live, you can live.
Before he could speak, he saw a look of relief in Yingning's eyes, but her words were quite cruel:
"Si Baixue, don't waste your energy."
"No matter what the contract is, it can't help me."
But Si Baixue shook her head, her expression revealing an unfathomable stubbornness:
"OK."
I said yes, it's okay.
"Si Baixue..."
He ignored Ying Ning's words and instantly used his spiritual power as a blade to slash a deep, bone-revealing wound on his wrist. Blood gushed from the wound, and his oath resounded throughout the heavens and earth:
Countless demon realm runes floated around the two of them.
He swore on his own life:
"I am Si Baixue."
"I am willing to make a pact of unity, just for this fleeting life."
He glanced at Ying Ning.
"Life and death belong to only one person."
The runes of the demon realm shone brightly.
Compared to the flurry of Heart-Refining Fireflies, the light of the Demon Realm runes was even more dazzling, making it difficult for Si Baixue to see the woman in front of her clearly.
The runes vanished.
Before Si Baixue could even relax his pent-up frustration, he once again saw the deathly aura emanating from her. The aura that stung his eyes was like a demon, impossible to dispel.
The runes of the demon realm rose once again.
But still...
The same deathly aura.
Si Baixue stared blankly at her hands, unwilling to believe it, and said:
"How... how could this be...?"
“I told you, there’s nothing you can do to help me,” Yingning said.
"impossible!"
The runes of the demon realm rose up again and again.
Looking at the seemingly eternal runes, the Fireflies of the Heart were even curious. A few of them, bold enough, actually dared to wander through the runes.
The deathly aura appeared again and again.
The blood from his wrist flowed into the merciless sea.
The unfathomable black water seemed to be covered with the meaning of emotions.
final...
Yingning stopped him.
She used her spiritual power to heal the wound on Si Baixue's wrist. His thin arm had been cut six times by the spiritual blade, and now only pale wrist bones remained.
With the healing power of his spiritual energy, his wrist regained its porcelain color.
"Si Baixue".
That's enough for now.
Si Baixue could no longer hold back. He grabbed Ying Ning's shoulders, forcing her to look him in the eye, but he saw no fear in her expression.
But in her reflection, he seemed about to cry.
"Why..."
Why couldn't he keep her?
The demon race has a very long lifespan, so even if they eventually disappear into the Great Dao, they will have already lived for a very, very long time.
But now, he has finally met her.
Si Baixue tightened her grip even more, until Ying Ning felt a sharp pain, but he still refused to believe what was happening in front of him.
"The contract with the demon race is useless."
"There's the Immortal Realm and the Underworld; surely there's some other way among the Six Realms!"
"You are Meng Po of the underworld, born in accordance with the laws of heaven, so how could you die?"
"Si Baixue".
Don't be stubborn.
“You’ve already seen it all.” She was referring to the scene in Mirror Lake.
He closed his eyes, and the scene he had just seen in Mirror Lake reappeared before his eyes. Suddenly, the thread of his thoughts was untied by a force.
He paused for a long time before finally uttering a sentence:
"In these six realms, one can be addressed as Master."
There was only one person.
When Si Baixue opened her eyes, her usually eerie, narrow eyes were unusually bloodshot.
"I've heard that a hundred years ago, Li Ziqing's youngest disciple—the Phoenix Clan's little princess—has been missing ever since."
"The Phoenix Clan is born with a divine body and is surrounded by karmic fire from birth."
All the doubts became clear in my mind.
His voice was firm:
“A-Ning.”
"You are Li Ziqing's disciple—"
"Feng Yingning".
Si Baixue saw the woman standing in the black water, who had shed her human disguise and once again revealed her Cangyue appearance, while the golden stamens at the corners of her eyes seemed to be weeping:
"I am Meng Po A Ning."
"It's also Feng Yingning."
She admitted it.
"I see." Si Baixue laughed loudly, but tears still fell from his eyes and landed on his newly healed wrist.
Despite being cut six times, Si Baixue didn't feel anything.
But this time, I couldn't stop the pain in my chest.
"You were already dead."
Therefore, I cannot save you.
His expression was shattered, and his bloodshot eyes conveyed a sense of destruction.
Ever since Si Baixue stepped into the Black Water, Mirror Lake naturally reflected his inner thoughts.
...
The man in the reflection, a tall and slender figure, stands amidst endless hellfire, his porcelain-white wrist entwined by a red spider lily.
In the scene, Si Baixue looked at the woman with unrestrained features and spoke earnestly:
"That is, I owe you."
Consider this scar a repayment to you.
......
At the market, Si Baixue, with a smile in her eyes, secretly took a bite of the spring silk cake that Yingning had eaten.
"Um..."
"It tastes better now."
The waves rippled slightly, and the scene shifted.
It was the scene of Si Baixue slowly reaching out and tying Ying Ning's black hair with Huo Chenjin. Kong Xuan, the young clan leader who was experiencing his first love, finally couldn't resist and kissed the person he was in love with within the barrier.
......
The final scene of Mirror Lake.
Wearing a mask, Si Baixue ultimately did not remove it. Instead, she picked up the still-burning paper lantern in front of the empty space.
"Why should there be a thousand wishes, yet there are thousands of years to fulfill them?"
“A-Ning.”
"I will stay with you for thousands of years."
......
After he made his wish, he was forced to confront a cruel reality.
Unfortunately, she no longer has millions of years left.
