Chapter 80 Harmony Saves the World
The interior of Burial Ridge is in complete disarray. Originally, there were hundreds or thousands of interconnected caves, but now almost half of them have been destroyed by the massive earthquake, and the area is blocked by falling rocks.
Shen Qingqiu struggled to find his way through it.
Suddenly, a faint demonic aura emanated from a huge pile of arched stones.
Shen Qingqiu instinctively called out, "Luo Binghe?"
Could it be that Luo Binghe, who was sealed by Yue Qingyuan's great restriction, was suppressed?
He leaped over and lifted the topmost stone slab. What was revealed were damaged blue scales.
As the blue scales undulated slightly, large and small stones rolled down.
Bamboo Branch Lang's serpentine form was coiled into a small fortress, with Tianlang Jun lying in the middle, completely protected.
His body was corroded even more severely, and his head looked like it could fall off at any moment. He opened his eyes, looked at Shen Qingqiu, and greeted him, "Peak Master Shen."
Shen Qingqiu asked, "How are you two doing?"
Tianlangjun said, "The Bamboo Branch Gentleman is not very good."
It's really not good.
The two large, bright yellow eyes that used to shine like lanterns were now beginning to dim, though they still seemed somewhat spirited. Many of the snake's green scales had fallen off, leaving patches of red and black, and it was covered in wounds.
Shen Qingqiu helped push away the stone pressing on its tail and found that the Zhengyang sword was still stuck in the snake's body. He reached out, grabbed the hilt, and pulled it out. Blood loss was nothing to a demon, but the Zhengyang sword, with its superior spiritual power, was stuck in its body, causing more serious damage.
Tianlangjun reached out and covered Zhuzhilang's wound, saying, "Didn't Peak Master Shen not like to pay much attention to him?"
Shen Qingqiu said, "Who said I ignore him? It's just that sometimes communication is difficult. How is he...?"
Tianlang-jun touched the triangular snake head, did not answer, but asked instead, "What does Peak Master Shen intend to do about the situation going forward?"
Shen Qingqiu said, "Of course, it's about destroying the sword."
Tianlangjun said, "The Heart Demon Sword has already eroded Luo Binghe's soul and is now bound to him. If you destroy the sword now, wouldn't that be the same as killing him?"
...
Shen Qingqiu decisively said, "Then let's think of another way."
Tianlangjun asked, "Even if it's too late to stop the merging of the two realms?"
Shen Qingqiu took a breath and said irritably, "...If it's too late, it's too late! We'll do our best and deal with the rest later."
Tianlang-jun finally smiled again.
He said, "Master Shen, you are a strange person. In your words, you are heartless yet compassionate. You are like this to Zhuzhilang, and you are even more so to my son."
He sighed and remarked, "I guess I just can't bring myself to hate people."
No matter how strange it is, it's not as strange as you, sir. Shen Qingqiu couldn't continue the conversation and asked, "Where's Luo Binghe? Have you seen him?"
Tianlangjun asked curiously, "I thought Peak Master Shen knew? Wasn't he right behind you the whole time?"
Shen Qingqiu suddenly opened his eyes, and with a chill running down his spine, slowly turned around.
Luo Binghe was indeed standing behind him, staring intently at his back.
It's unclear exactly when he started standing there, or rather, when he began following behind Shen Qingqiu.
Luo Binghe smiled and said, "Master, give me the sword."
Shen Qingqiu remained calm and raised the Heart Demon Sword: "You can come and take it."
Luo Binghe took a step toward him, then suddenly stopped. His lips twitched, and his shoulders began to tremble.
Shen Qingqiu held his sword horizontally in front of him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Luo Binghe gritted his teeth and said, "...Get out of here."
Before Shen Qingqiu could respond, Luo Binghe pressed his hand against his temple and unleashed a powerful blow, shouting, "Get out of here, all of you!!!"
These words weren't spoken to him, and the critical hit didn't land on him either. Instead, it brushed past Shen Qingqiu, smashing down one of the already uneven cave walls.
Tianlang-jun kindly reminded him, "It's an illusion created by the Heart Demon Sword."
Even without him saying it, Shen Qingqiu could roughly guess. Luo Binghe's current state clearly indicated that he was seeing something that others couldn't see. He was wildly unleashing spiritual and demonic energy, specifically targeting the area around him, fighting against an opponent that didn't exist.
The mountain shook again, and clusters of rocks tumbled down. Shen Qingqiu glanced at the two people beside him and shouted, "Follow me!"
Luo Binghe indeed followed him.
As they chased each other, the one in front moved with incredible speed, while the other followed like a wandering ghost, yet remained just as fast. Shen Qingqiu felt like a bone, clinging to a dog.
At this moment, the system notification stated: 【“Luo Binghe” has a rage value of 300. Multiplied by the Heart Demon Sword coefficient of 100, his current rage value is 3000.】
Shen Qingqiu roared, "What the hell?! Where are the key props?! Hurry up and show them off! Jade Guanyin! Jade pendant! Get them out here and let's see what happens!"
System: [Hello, key item drops are loading. We suggest you use other tools for now.]
Shen Qingqiu: "Loading my ass! Show me what tools you have!"
System: [Friendly reminder: The upgraded Scene Pusher Deluxe Edition you purchased last time has not yet been put into use.]
Shen Qingqiu suddenly stopped.
To be honest, he still doesn't understand what this "scenario pusher" is or how it works.
However, judging from that one and only user experience, it seems to be—quite useful!
Shen Qingqiu gritted his teeth and said, "...Come on!"
Let me show you the deluxe version of domineering and exhilarating fun! Come on!
He had just slammed the "OK" button down when the ground collapsed again.
During his descent, Shen Qingqiu had only one thought:
What a load of rubbish! You're calling yourself a little pusher—you're more like a bulldozer!
However, after rolling around for a while, with rocks rolling overhead, he was not hit by any collapsing rocks.
Someone stepped in front of him.
Despite being out of his mind and confused, Luo Binghe instinctively used his body to shield him from the falling rocks.
He pushed off with one arm, flinging away the boulder that had hit his back. He felt no pressure at all. He looked down and stared blankly at Shen Qingqiu. There seemed to be a moment of clarity in his eyes, but it vanished in an instant. He blinked blankly, and then his eyes were suddenly filled with confusion again.
Dark red markings spread down his forehead, across his entire snow-white face, and continued to creep down his neck.
The Demon Sword that had fallen to the side seemed to echo the markings on his body, its light and shadow shifting between purple and black.
Luo Binghe muttered, "Master...?"
Shen Qingqiu hummed in response, and seeing blood flowing down Luo Binghe's forehead, his throat trembled slightly.
Luo Binghe asked, "Master, is it really you?"
"……Um."
Luo Binghe said, "Is this for real this time? Didn't you just leave with them?"
Shen Qingqiu said, "I'm not leaving."
Luo Binghe slowly bent down, buried her face in the crook of his neck, and whispered, "Master, it hurts. My head hurts."
His tone was both coquettish and genuinely in pain. Shen Qingqiu slowly stretched out her arms, put them around his shoulders and back, and gently patted him: "Be good. It won't hurt for long."
Luo Binghe said, "If I behave, it won't hurt anymore. Will Master not leave me alone again?"
Shen Qingqiu said, "The pain will stop soon."
Luo Binghe said in a low voice, "I don't believe it."
He suddenly became agitated and roared, "I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"
Seeing him have another outburst, Shen Qingqiu grabbed his shoulder and suddenly looked up.
The angle was a bit off, and the teeth collided, causing a sharp pain.
Luo Binghe, his lips sealed, stared blankly into space. He blinked once, then twice.
Shen Qingqiu also stared wide-eyed, finding the staring contest extremely strange. After a long silence, they finally took a step back and closed their eyes first. Their eyelashes fluttered, and they deepened the kiss.
Honestly, this kind of collision that left my teeth and mouth still sore and numb can't be called a kiss, it's more like a nibble.
But clearly, Luo Binghe was enjoying his kisses, biting and nibbling at Shen Qingqiu's lips, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid. Suddenly, he pushed Shen Qingqiu back down, pinning her to the ground.
With a few tearing sounds, Shen Qingqiu's outer garment was ripped into several pieces.
The rest of her clothes were taken off by Shen Qingqiu herself. In the midst of the tearing and pulling, her lower body was pulled down to her knees, and her upper body was stripped down to only a loose undergarment that slipped off her rounded shoulders.
Harmony
Shen Qingqiu was held so tightly that she could hardly breathe. Her right hand scratched the rocks on the ground until it bled, and she could only catch her breath after several attempts.
I can't hold on any longer.
I really can't hold on much longer.
Just as he was feeling dizzy and his vision was getting darker, a faint white light flashed by.
With a crisp "ding," it landed beside Shen Qingqiu's bare shoulder.
Luo Binghe was very alert. He looked up and momentarily lost his senses.
Then, his pupils suddenly shrank to a single point.
The previously blurry images slowly overlapped and became clearer.
He slowly lowered his head, his face turning deathly pale.
Shen Qingqiu lay beneath him, her clothes torn to shreds, her legs trembling so badly she couldn't close them, her eyes red and swollen, looking as if she were about to die.
Luo Binghe couldn't believe it. He reached out to touch him, but then hesitated, frozen in mid-air, and murmured, "...Master...?"
Finally hearing Luo Binghe call out "Master" in a normal way, Shen Qingqiu seemed to come back to life and took a breath.
The breath was so labored that it sounded more like a sob.
Luo Binghe stammered, "Master... what... what did I do?"
Shen Qingqiu intended to clear his throat and say he hadn't done anything wrong, just messed with his master. However, instead of clearing his throat, he coughed up blood.
Both of them were stunned.
Before Shen Qingqiu's tears could fall, Luo Binghe's tears came first.
The drops landed on Shen Qingqiu's cheek and slid down her cheek.
Shen Qingqiu used to be most afraid of women crying, but now he's most afraid of Luo Binghe crying. Ignoring his sore bottom, he wiped his face and comforted him like a child, saying, "Don't cry anymore."
Luo Binghe's tears fell like broken beads, rolling down his shoulder. He held Shen Qingqiu helplessly, choking out, "Master, please don't hate me... I don't know... I didn't want to hurt you... Why didn't you push me away? Why didn't you kill me?"
Shen Qingqiu gently stroked his back, soothing his fur: "I know. I'm willing."
While trying to comfort her, I felt an overwhelming sense of desolation in my heart.
He's the one who got exposed!
Why is the person who caused the explosion crying even harder than him...?
The one who gets raped has to turn around and comfort the one who raped them.
Luo Binghe, who had lost his virginity, was even more difficult to please than a young girl who had lost her virginity!
Shen Qingqiu said helplessly, "...You come out first..."
Tears still clung to Luo Binghe's eyelashes as he carefully withdrew. He stared blankly at the gruesome sight between Shen Qingqiu's legs, his face growing paler and paler.
Nevertheless, she carefully adjusted Shen Qingqiu's inner garment and draped her own outer robe over him.
Shen Qingqiu didn't dare to look at himself, and slowly put his legs together, his facial muscles twitching slightly throughout the process.
He tried his best to make his expression look like he wasn't in pain.
To divert Luo Binghe's attention, Shen Qingqiu reached out and picked up the jade Guanyin statue beside him, gesturing for Luo Binghe to lower his head.
He was cursing the system a thousand times in his mind.
Damn system!!! You bastard!!!
Why can't we just let the crucial items drop sooner?!
Couldn't it be earlier?!
It will only drop after you've finished using it!
What good is it if you're done with it!
What's the use!
Or is it that if it doesn't stop, it won't be over?!?!
Luo Binghe stammered, "I thought... I thought it was lost long ago... I thought I would never find it again..."
Shen Qingqiu put the red string around his neck and said, "Keep it safe from now on. Don't lose it again."
Luo Binghe stammered, "Back then, it was Master who helped me out of that predicament. Does that mean that Master has been carrying it with him ever since?"
It's always been in the system space; you could say it's always been carried around on my person, right?
Shen Qingqiu nodded weakly.
Luo Binghe's arms tightened around him slowly. Amidst her tears, she suddenly noticed the tattoo on his arm fading rapidly. His burning forehead and cheeks were also cooling down quickly.
Luo Binghe asked in astonishment, "What are you doing?"
Shen Qingqiu held him tightly, firmly locking Luo Binghe in her arms to prevent him from moving, and said in a deep voice, "Don't do anything. I told you, the pain will go away soon. Be good and don't move."
Luo Binghe exclaimed, "...Master, are you going to use yourself to draw away the demonic energy of the Heart Demon Sword again, like last time?"
Shen Qingqiu said, "It's different from last time."
Luo Binghe's fists clenched slowly, and he said in a trembling voice, "How is it different? Master, why can you treat me like this? For the sake of others, you can actually do the same thing again! Do you think I can endure it again?"
Shen Qingqiu said sternly, "Luo Binghe, listen to me!"
Luo Binghe listened obediently, tears welling in his eyes.
Shen Qingqiu said, "It's true that you did that last time to escape."
"But this time, I'm doing this not for any other person or thing."
He said, word by word, "It's all for you."
Luo Binghe said, "...Just for me?"
Shen Qingqiu nodded: "So, stop saying things like no one wants you or no one chooses you."
“Your mother risked her life to give birth to you. If she didn’t want to leave you a way to live, in the dead of winter, in the freezing cold, you would have frozen to death long ago in Luochuan, and no one would have come to rescue you. How could she not need you?”
Shen Qingqiu said softly, "...Even your master wouldn't abandon you. Now you should finally believe that, right?"
Luo Binghe said in a panic, "I understand, I believe you. Master, please stop. Please stop. Your body simply cannot withstand so much demonic energy!"
Shen Qingqiu shook his head: "There's no way to stop."
Luo Binghe looked at him and suddenly stood up: "I'm going to destroy the Heart Demon Sword."
Shen Qingqiu grabbed him: "You said it yourself, my body simply can't withstand so much demonic energy. But it's already been halfway through. Now, destroying the sword is useless."
Luo Binghe knelt down.
He said, "It has nothing to do with Master. I messed things up again. It's all my fault."
"If I had known earlier that my master also cared about me, if I had woken up sooner, things wouldn't have come to this..."
Shen Qingqiu sighed inwardly.
I've said it before, there's never such a thing as "if only I had known."
Who is smarter than whom?
He said, "Since you are my apprentice, it is the teacher's fault if you are not strict with your teaching. No matter how many shortcomings you have, I have no reason to let you bear them all by yourself."
Luo Binghe grabbed Shen Qingqiu's hand and placed it on his face, then suddenly burst into laughter through his tears.
He said, "Master, let's go together."
Shen Qingqiu was taken aback: "Together?"
Luo Binghe said softly, "Master, you are my vessel, and I am the vessel of the Heart Demon Sword. I will destroy the sword later. Master doesn't like to cause trouble for others, so let's not cause trouble for others. Let's not merge, let's not care about anything. Let's just disappear together here at Burial Ridge. You stay with me, and I'll stay with you."
...
Does the male protagonist and the villain die together right after having sex?
All right.
Damn it, this bizarre ending is definitely a once-in-a-millennium masterpiece, it will surely be recorded in the annals of harem novels and be remembered for eternity!
Shen Qingqiu chuckled dryly twice.
Luo Binghe's heat seemed to have infected him, and he felt a little dizzy.
In his dazed state, he could barely hear Luo Binghe's voice anymore.
In a daze, it seemed that he had really picked up the Demon Sword.
That's settled then.
It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it.
But one voice could still be heard clearly.
