Feng Guang chuckled lightly, "But I know another spell..."
The wound on her chest, which had stopped bleeding, suddenly started bleeding again. The blood didn't fall downwards, but instead resembled a red thread that connected from the wound in her chest cavity to his heart. This thread of blood passed through his body and over his internal organs, and, along with the spiritual power she transmitted, covered his soul.
"The Longevity Curse..." Fang Yue murmured in astonishment, then grabbed Feng Guang's hand in uncontrollable rage, "Stop! Feng Guang, I told you to stop!"
Feng Guang leaned weakly against his chest, exhaling a breath. She seemed oblivious to his shock and anger, simply saying as if nothing had happened, "Back then... in the library, I wondered who would be so foolish as to willingly sacrifice their life... to protect someone from ghosts and gods. I never imagined... it would be me..."
The Longevity Curse doesn't grant immortality; it only provides protection against ghosts and demons. She couldn't interrupt Yi Mu's spellcasting, nor could she take Fang Yue away. She figured that since she'd been stabbed and bled so much, she might as well use it.
However... the aftereffects came too quickly. Feng Guang's legs went weak, and he completely lost the strength to stand up.
“Fengguang…you can’t leave me…” Fang Yue knelt down on one knee, holding her in his arms. His voice was filled with extreme panic, which was also extremely heartbreaking.
Feng Guang was barely breathing, but she still managed a weak smile. "Fang Yue... I told you, you're too foolish... What would you do without me?"
"So you can't leave." Fang Yue seemed to see a glimmer of hope, grabbing her hand and pressing it against his face. "Fengguang... I'm so foolish, you wouldn't bear to leave me..."
I would give my life to ensure your safety.
Feng Guang recalled the eight characters written on the book containing the Longevity Mantra. She used to be afraid of death and pain, but now, thinking about it, she felt no fear at all.
“Fang Yue… Xiaoxiao…” She struggled to lift her head and whispered in his ear, “I’ve entrusted Xiaoxiao to your junior brother… He… he’s a good boy… The Gate of Hell opens once every seven hundred years. I’ve calculated the time, and it will be opening soon. It’s laughable that old fool… he even used his own cultivation to open the Gate of Hell. You just need to… just need to be able to walk out of the Ghost Realm alive on that day… When that time comes, you must take Xiaoxiao back with you…”
The Gate of Hell opens once every seven hundred years; this is a fixed rule. Although Yi Mu forcibly opened the Gate of Hell today, it will still open at the actual time. As long as Feng Guang can ensure that Fang Yue can walk out alive when the Gate of Hell opens in a few days, that's fine.
Fang Yue held her hand tightly, "I don't want Xiaoxiao... Fengguang, I just want you... Please stay by my side..."
“If you… if you dare to treat Xiaoxiao badly… I’ll never forgive you, even as a ghost…” Feng Guang said haltingly, “Fang Yue… Xiaoxiao is our daughter, you must… you absolutely must protect her… and… when I’m not around, you absolutely cannot, you can’t get hurt again… I won’t have another chance to save you…”
That was the only thing she was worried about.
Fang Yue lowered his head and touched her forehead. "I promise you, I won't get hurt again."
"That's good..." Feng Guang smiled with relief, her eyes gradually losing their luster, and finally slowly closed.
