Chapter 757 There Won't Be a Next Time

Yuxiu Palace.

It was already late at night when Si Linglong opened her eyes again.

In the dim candlelight, the man's angular jawline appeared somewhat soft, but his slightly closed eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, making his originally handsome face look a bit serious and cold.

[Sure enough, no matter what angle you look at it from, my A-Yue looks so good. 】

Si Linglong's first reaction after escaping death was not to be glad that she was alive, but to sigh at her man's looks.

Besides, just to prevent other fairies from taking advantage of her beauty, she has to live a good life.

Helian Yue opened his eyes almost the moment he heard Si Linglong's heartbeat. There was no trace of the confusion of just waking up in his eyes. Instead, there was a clear-headed sharpness in his eyes, as if he had just been pretending to sleep with his eyes closed.

The moment he opened his eyes, his gaze subconsciously turned to Si Linglong who was sleeping on the bed.

When he met those gently curved almond-shaped eyes, the sharpness in his eyes finally dissipated, as if a tightly tied string was gently loosened, turning into a wisp of soft mist, lingering around his eyes and looking into her eyes.

"Did I wake you?"

Si Linglong opened her mouth and felt her voice was a little hoarse, and her cheeks were a little stiff. She subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to rub it, but found that her arm was also a little painful, and the pain came from the hand that was wrapped like a dumpling.

"Hiss..." Si Linglong took a breath. Helian Yue had already gently pulled her arm, deliberately avoiding her wrist that was bruised and said, "Don't move."

Si Linglong looked at the wound on her wrist at this moment, and then she belatedly remembered her experience before she fell into a coma. Her almond-shaped eyes were immediately filled with a layer of mist, and she looked at him pitifully and aggrievedly, "It hurts..."

Helian Yue's heart tightened, and he showed a rare look of helplessness in his eyes. He wanted to coax her, but Si Linglong asked him eagerly, "I want a hug..."

As he spoke, he tried to move to make room for Helian Yue who was sitting beside the bed.

Helian Yue's heart softened for a moment. He held her shoulders with one hand to prevent her from moving. Then he leaned over and lifted her upper body slightly. Then he hugged her tightly and opened his mouth for a long while before saying only one sentence.

"There won't be a next time."

He would never put her in danger like that again.

Si Linglong didn't feel that scared at first, but after hearing what he said, she felt an unspeakable sense of grievance in her heart, and her eyes became sore. She lowered her head and shed tears on his shoulder.

Being tied up and trapped in a coffin, unable to see the light, hear no sound, and unable to even struggle or call for help, that kind of despair is really scary when I think about it now.

Even if she didn't mention it, Helian Yue could still feel her emotions, and his hands around her tightened slightly.

Then he pulled her away from his arms a little, leaned over to kiss the corner of her eyes, and then kissed her lips. His movements were full of gentle caressing, but it made her tears fall even harder.

Perhaps because of crying, Si Linglong fell into a deep sleep again soon. Helian Yue no longer just stayed by her bedside, but lay down on the bed, held her in his arms, and fell asleep with her.

Si Linglong finally got back together with Helian Yue, but she had a long-awaited dream at night.

In the dream, there was a towering tree rising from the ground. Its trunk was wounded with red hooks on its back. It seemed unapproachable, but its leaves seemed to be filled with a holy white light.

In the vast universe, there is only this big tree, so tall that it seems to connect heaven and earth.

The reason why she said it was long-lost was because she had also dreamed of this tree when she was a child.

But at that time, the other party was just a sapling.

And every year after that, she could always see that the sapling had changed a little bit.

But the big tree in front of her seemed similar to the sapling in her dream, yet not completely similar.

In addition to the tree crown that was so tall that it seemed to block out the sun, there was also a person standing under the tree, unlike in previous years.

Si Linglong couldn't see the man's face clearly, she could only vaguely feel that the figure was inexplicably familiar.

Then, a thorny vine suddenly stretched out from the center of the tree, reaching out to the man as if testing him, but without touching him.

The man slowly stretched out his hand, and suddenly, a ball of golden light flew out from his palm, swaying around the vines, and then flew to the center of the tree without hesitation.

Si Linglong saw the golden ball of light quickly disappear into the tree trunk. The next second, the originally towering green shadows seemed to emit golden light, and the entire tree was so dazzling that it instantly illuminated the sky and the earth.

Si Linglong felt as if her eyes were stabbed by the golden light and she closed her eyes subconsciously.

The next second, she opened her eyes suddenly and woke up from her dream.
