Chapter 244 Black-Hearted Lotus Junior Brother 12
Mo Chen grasped her hand and saw that blood was still seeping from the corner of her lips. He felt so bad that he couldn't breathe. The pain was like a nail being hammered into his heart. He was so panicked that he couldn't say a word.
Would your senior sister rather commit suicide than hurt him?
No one ever cared whether he lived or died...
Mo Chen's voice choked with emotion, "Senior Sister...you'll be alright..."
He raised his hand and covered Xu Qiuqiu's wound, desperately pouring spiritual energy into it, but to no avail. Her body turned into countless points of light and scattered.
He watched helplessly as she disappeared little by little, as if she had never existed, and soon the whole scene turned to dust.
He stood there, his face pale, his body trembling violently, his vision blurred, and all his strength drained away.
"Why!" the black mist roared in the air, "Why did it end like this! Why didn't she kill you!"
"Why..." the black mist's voice was filled with confusion and pain.
Upon hearing the voice of the black mist, Mo Yun's body glowed red, his pupils turned blood red, seven tails emerged, and red demonic markings spread across his face. He stood up, his eyes filled with hatred as he looked at the black mist, "You killed my senior sister, I will not let you go!"
A fierce wind arose, and the black mist saw that Mo Chen was radiating a world-destroying power. Although he had no physical form, he was startled and quickly explained, "Your senior sister is not dead. She only died in the illusion. She is still alive in reality!"
One sentence extinguished Mo Chen's hatred, and he withdrew his power. "Where is Senior Sister?"
"She fell into a brief coma in the room right behind you."
As soon as the black mist finished speaking, the person who was just in front of him had disappeared.
In the dilapidated house, a girl lay unconscious on the bed. Mo Chen saw her rising and falling breaths, and his tense emotions relaxed. He gently held her hand and tenderly rubbed it against his cheek.
A surge of emotions welled up in his chest, mostly joy. He wanted to hold her, to be touched by her, but for now he only dared to look at her quietly.
When Xu Qiuqiu woke up, she saw Mo Chen looking at her with a worried expression. She remembered that she had stabbed herself earlier. At that time, she didn't feel much pain. Later, her consciousness became blurred. She thought she was dead, so she was still alive?
Mo Chen grabbed her sleeve anxiously, "Senior Sister, how are you feeling? Is there anything wrong?"
"It's nothing." Xu Qiuqiu shook her head. She raised her hand and touched the chest where she had just been stabbed. There was no wound. She was very puzzled. "Junior brother, where are we? Am I not dead?"
Mo Chen's heart began to clench upon hearing the word "death." "Senior sister, don't say the word 'death.'"
"We have broken the illusion and can now leave this place."
"An illusion? That was just an illusion?" Xu Qiuqiu pondered Mo Chen's words. So, the way to break the illusion was to have the bride commit suicide instead of killing the groom?
What a unique way to break free from the illusion...
"Senior sister, do you want to rest for a while?" Mo Chen looked at her with concern.
Xu Qiuqiu was a little unaccustomed to Mo Chen's sudden change in attitude. She felt that he had become much gentler, unlike his previous treacherous demeanor.
She tried to sit up, but Mo Chen noticed her intention and quickly helped her up, his warm arm around her shoulder. She trembled with fear; he was being so kind to her now, and she was always afraid that he was plotting against her in secret.
"What's wrong?" Mo Yun asked curiously, noticing her body trembling slightly.
"It's nothing..." Xu Qiuqiu quietly increased the distance between them. Suddenly, she felt something sliding on her wrist. She raised her hand and saw that it was a bracelet. "What's this?"
Upon seeing the bracelet, Mo Yun's eyes turned cold, and she felt jealous. She said disdainfully, "Senior sister, don't wear it. It's a useless piece of junk."
"It doesn't look like ironware..." Xu Qiuqiu took another closer look. It didn't look like an ordinary item, and it even had a faint magical power.
Black Mist snorted coldly: "You young upstart, still gossiping about your seniors behind their backs."
Xu Qiuqiu saw a cloud of black mist drifting into the room, with a blood-red light emanating from the hole in the middle. Startled, she quickly hid behind Mo Chen, then peeked out with her small head, her voice stammering, "Are you... a person... or a ghost...?"
She's terrified of ghosts...
A powerful, cold light swept through the black mist, and Mo Chen threatened, "Don't scare my senior sister."
The black mist dissipated and transformed into a handsome young man.
Upon seeing this face, Xu Qiuqiu stepped out from behind Mo Chen, her eyes filled with surprise. "You're Ling Yue?"
"Hmm, the little girl has a good memory." Ling Yue smiled gently.
"What's going on?" Xu Qiuqiu asked, puzzled.
Ling Yue smiled bitterly, "As you can see, on the very night of my wedding, I was killed by the person I loved most. To prevent me from taking revenge, she sealed me with Soul-Locking Nails. However, the real Ling Yue was already freed and reincarnated long ago."
I was merely a lingering resentment in Lingyue's heart, forever tormented. I used to think most women in the world were heartless and ungrateful, but seeing you willing to give up your life for him, my resentment slowly began to dissipate.
Ling Yue glanced at the two of them and said, "So there are still people in this world who are willing to die for their loved ones."
Upon hearing this, Mo Chen lowered his eyes to look at Xu Qiuqiu standing beside him, a warm feeling flowing through his heart. How strong must his senior sister's willpower be to break free from the control? In the face of life and death, she chose to die so that he could live...
"Senior, you..." Xu Qiuqiu was about to refute Ling Yue's words and say that they were not in that kind of relationship when she heard the voice broadcast.
[Ding! The female lead's happiness level has increased by 10%. Her current happiness level is 10%.]
She swallowed her words and decided not to dwell on the issue.
She changed the subject, "Senior, what is this bracelet?"
Ling Yue seemed to have let go of his obsession, and he calmly explained, "This is a magical artifact made from one of my ribs. The function of this bracelet is to protect one from demonic energy and prevent one from being corrupted."
"I originally intended to give this to Meng Jiao for our wedding, but unfortunately, I was killed before I could give it to her. This bracelet also has another function: it can protect its owner from a fatal blow. It's a defensive magical artifact. Now I'm giving it to you."
"A rib?" Xu Qiuqiu was stunned. Goosebumps began to rise on her hands. "This was also a token of love that Senior gave to Meng Jiao, right? I think I'd better not take it..."
Although the temptation to ward off a fatal blow was great, the thought that the bracelet was made of rib bone gave her a chill.
Hearing that Xu Qiuqiu also didn't want the bracelet, Mo Chen's mood inexplicably improved, and her voice became more smug, "Senior sister doesn't want this piece of junk. Either you take it off, or I'll destroy it by force."
Ling Yue was also extremely troubled by Mo Chen's temper. "I'm saying, with such a bad temper, how can your senior sister put up with you?"
(I'm really bad at writing sentimental scenes, but I love it nonetheless.)
