Chapter 588: Illusory Things 2
Ye Fei stared intently at the young woman beside her, who was still talking to herself, and couldn't help but laugh out loud when she mentioned some funny gossip.
Lin Zhuyu felt Ye Fei staring at her, so she stopped rambling and scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "Hehehe... I forgot that you don't like gossip, so I won't say anything more."
"No, I want to hear you talk more." Ye Fei shook her head and smiled slightly at her.
Lin Zhuyu was stunned for a moment. Then, she seemed to see something, her eyes lit up, and she ran past Ye Fei towards the front.
A bad feeling inexplicably welled up in Ye Fei's heart. She wanted to grab Lin Zhuyu's arm: "Zhuyu! Don't go over there!"
"Xiao Fei, look! It's a butterfly!"
Ye Fei saw a golden swallowtail butterfly resting on Lin Zhuyu's finger, its wings fluttering, and shimmering butterfly powder drifting down.
Lin Zhuyu examined the swallowtail butterfly, a hint of confusion in her eyes: "For some reason, I feel a sense of unreality about it... I've never seen a butterfly like this before. Xiaofei, do you know what kind of butterfly it is?"
Ye Fei's lips twitched as if she was about to speak, but Lin Zhuyu in front of her suddenly vanished like collapsing sand and gravel!
"Bamboo Whisper!"
Ye Fei's pupils contracted sharply. She looked around in panic, but did not see Lin Zhuyu.
Water droplets fell onto Ye Fei's face. Ye Fei wiped her cheeks with her hand, then looked up at the sky. It was raining?
Immediately afterwards, the lush bamboo forest suddenly changed, and everything in sight was blood-red. Even when mixed with rain, it could not dispel the pungent stench.
In the dim light, Ye Fei saw a person hanging on the city wall not far in front of her.
As if realizing something, she struggled to lift her feet and head towards the city tower.
As she got closer to the city gate tower, she finally saw the person on the tower clearly—it was Lin Zhuyu.
Her hands were chained, her long hair was wet from the rain and clung to her pale face, and she was riddled with arrows, each one piercing a vital spot with pinpoint accuracy. Her blue robe was stained red with blood, and large drops of blood slowly dripped down the hem of her garment.
"Bamboo Whisper... Bamboo Whisper!"
Fear rose in Ye Fei's eyes. She used her Illusionary Steps to propel herself upwards, her whole body floating lightly in the void.
Ye Fei gently stroked Lin Zhuyu's face, not daring to check her breathing. When she touched her cold body temperature, her mind went blank.
"Little...Little Fei..."
A soft, almost inaudible murmur arose, and Ye Fei quickly cupped Lin Zhuyu's face in her hands, her voice trembling with barely suppressed emotion: "Zhuyu! Zhuyu, can you hear me?"
Lin Zhuyu struggled to open her eyes, and the moment she saw Ye Fei, a glimmer of light shone in her dim pupils: "Xiao Fei... to be able to see you again, it's really... wonderful..."
She seemed to have used all her strength to finish speaking, and the light flickering in her eyes vanished as if a candle had been extinguished in an instant.
Lin Zhuyu died, and in the last second before she died, her gaze was still fixed on Ye Fei's face.
Ye Fei stared blankly at Lin Zhuyu, her hands trembling as she covered her head—why was this happening? Why was she seeing these scenes?!
Suddenly, something flew past her eyes. Ye Fei looked up and saw a golden butterfly.
Her eyes widened. It was... the butterfly that had just been on Lin Zhuyu's finger!
Ye Fei instinctively reached out to catch the butterfly, but before her fingertips could even touch it, the scene before her eyes changed again—
