She knew her mission
Zhou Suyao took a deep breath.
She suddenly understood who she was.
I also understood why I had to go through all this.
She carries the curse planted by the Yin Fairy at the cost of her life.
It is also the last gift that the Yin Fairy gives to humanity.
As long as she is here, humanity will never perish.
All the questions about why she came to Lingdao and why she was involved in this turmoil were like scattered beads, strung together by an invisible thread at this moment.
She slowly stood up, ignoring the spiritual monks around her who were glaring at her because of the sudden death of their companion.
Instead, he slowly turned his head and looked at the little boy behind him who was still terrified.
He didn't remember anything, but he instinctively treated her well and instinctively protected her when she was in danger.
He instinctively thought that he couldn't let Zhou Suyao die.
What kind of powerful humanity is this that can create such a pure person?
Zhou Suyao has been denying a point of view in her subconscious mind.
But at this point, she still had to look the boy in front of her.
This boy really looks like the eldest brother. The boy in front of her looks exactly like the eldest brother when he was young that she saw in her second life.
But the eldest brother in the second life fought with her in order to protect the so-called spiritual god?
Why is this?
Or was it that she did not save him in the first life, so the eldest brother after reincarnation had no feelings for her and even killed her with his own hands?
And this time in her second life, she returned to the illusion and saved the boy, and the boy became Zhou Shanyuan after reincarnation.
Become her senior brother.
Zhou Suyao was shocked by her own inference. Her heart was beating like a drum and she couldn't stop no matter what.
——So, she actually saved herself?
Zhou Suyao reached out and gently held the boy's cold and trembling hand.
Her voice was soft, but filled with immense power.
She spoke slowly, as if she was talking to the boy, but also to herself.
"Don't be afraid."
"I think... I know who we are."
"It's time... I should do something."
The illusion began to fade away like the tide as she finished speaking. She heard someone calling her in her ear. She struggled to open her eyes, but what she saw was no longer the eternal battlefield, nor the cold sunlight of the orphanage.
She returned to meet her people.
But this time, she knew what she should do.
The illusion completely dissipated, the smell of blood in the nose was replaced by the fragrance of burning grass, and what came to the ears was the sound of birds singing in the forest.
Zhou Suyao's eyelashes trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.
The first thing she saw was Zhou Shanyuan’s face so close to her.
His handsome face was now wrinkled like a steamed bun because of his worry for her. Zhou Suyao was a little dazed and subconsciously raised her hand to smooth his forehead.
But such a thing still could not be done.
"Suyao? Suyao!"
His anxious voice dispelled the last trace of haziness from her.
It’s the eldest brother.
Zhou Shanyuan.
It was not the little boy in the illusion who needed her protection, nor was it the God Xun Dan in the illusion of three reincarnations.
He is just him.
The immense relief, the heartache that only she could understand after three lifetimes, and the ecstasy of regaining what she had lost all overwhelmed her at that moment.
Before Zhou Shanyuan could react, Zhou Suyao had already stretched out her arms.
She seemed to have used up all her strength, hugged his neck tightly, and buried her face deeply in his chest.
Her body was still shaking, not because of fear, but because of the overwhelming emotions.
Zhou Shanyuan was startled by her sudden action, his body almost stiffened instantly. He could clearly feel the force that almost made him breathless.
This is not something Junior Sister normally does.
"Su Yao?" He slowed down his voice and probed cautiously. His hand paused in the air for a long time before he finally hugged her gently back.
He stroked her back soothingly, his voice gentle: "Did you see something? Don't be afraid, it's just an illusion, it's all fake."
He is as gentle as ever.
Zhou Suyao shook her head in his arms, her voice muffled: "It's not fake, it's not..."
How could it be fake? If it was fake, then everything she had experienced would be totally unworthy.
She raised her head and looked at him with tearful eyes. Zhou Shanyuan looked at her, and for some reason his heart skipped a beat.
These eyes, which were always crystal clear, were now filled with tears. He had never seen her so sad before.
Zhou Shanyuan's heart was gripped by this look: "Suyao, what on earth are you..."
He didn't finish his words.
Because the junior sister kissed the beginning of his words.
She held his face in her hands, tilted her head back, and with salty tears in her eyes, she pressed her soft lips against his clumsily but firmly.
Zhou Shanyuan's breathing suddenly stopped and his mind went blank.
The world seemed silent at this moment, leaving only the wet, tear-stained, cool touch on the lips.
This kiss was completely unskillful and even a bit reckless, but it was like a thunderclap that completely destroyed his rationality.
He forgot to react, and stood there frozen. He could only passively feel her lips trembling slightly against his, and feel her tears sliding down, wetting his face.
Time seemed to be stretched out, yet it seemed as if only a moment had passed.
Zhou Suyao moved back slightly, and a slight sound was heard when her lips separated.
Her cheeks were flushed and tears were hanging on her eyelashes, but she did not blink and just looked at his astonished eyes seriously.
After a long while, she blinked, as if she had just come out of some emotion, her voice was very soft and a little hoarse.
"Thank you."
Thank you for choosing to be gentle to me in this life even though you are burdened with a heavy mission.
Thank you, in the end...it didn't turn out like I feared.
There was another sentence lingering in her mind, but she still couldn't say it out loud.
But this unfinished sentence still fell into her eyes as she stared at him at this moment——
You've been waiting for me for a long time, and so have I.
Zhou Shanyuan looked at her in a daze, his heart beating so wildly that it almost burst out of his chest. The emotion that he had suppressed for too long was like a volcanic eruption, almost swallowing him up.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that his throat was blocked and no word came out.
All he could do was subconsciously tighten his arms around her and hold her tighter in his arms.
It was as if he wanted to rub her into his own flesh and blood.
The eldest brother's embrace was warm and solid, with a reassuring and sharp breath. Zhou Suyao indulged in this moment of tenderness, as if she wanted to absorb back everything she had missed in past lives.
The eldest brother's tightened arms and suddenly accelerated heartbeat were silent responses to her sudden kiss.
However, this charming atmosphere only lasted for an extremely short moment.
She suddenly remembered why she came here before she fell into the illusion.
It was because of the third senior brother Zhou Zonglan. He inhaled a large amount of shadow orchid pollen and was trapped in an illusion, in imminent danger.
She struggled out of Zhou Shanyuan's arms in a panic. The blush on her cheeks had not yet faded, but her eyes had already regained clarity.
"Big Brother!" She grabbed Zhou Shanyou's sleeve and said urgently, "What happened to Third Brother? We! We have to go and save him!"
Zhou Suyao was startled by her words. A sudden feeling of emptiness in his arms made him feel a flicker of loss, but the responsibility and commitment of being a senior brother quickly took over. He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and took her wrist with his backhand. After checking her pulse and confirming that she was fine, he quickly said;
"Don't panic, Ming Wu is still with Zong Lan. I just noticed that your aura was not right, so I came to find you immediately."
As he spoke, he took her hand and quickly walked back the way they came. "You were trapped in the illusion just now. Are you hurt?"
Zhou Suyao was pulled forward by him, her eyes fell on his hand tightly holding hers, and an inexplicable emotion came to her heart.
But she didn't know what to say, so she just said vaguely: "I'm fine, I just... saw something, but Third Brother inhaled a lot of pollen, we have to hurry!"
"I know." Zhou Shanyuan frowned. "The Shadow Orchid poison draws out the deepest obsessions in a person's heart, amplifying them in a cycle until their spiritual consciousness is exhausted. The more it is inhaled, the deeper it becomes. It's difficult to awaken it using ordinary methods. Either he can break the obsession himself, or find the root of his obsession and break it from the outside."
The two of them hurried back to where they were before.
Meanwhile, the second senior brother Qu Mingwu was sitting cross-legged beside the unconscious Zhou Zonglan, with one hand on his back, slowly sending warm spiritual power into him to protect his heart meridians.
Qu Mingwu's face was a little pale. Obviously, this consumed too much of his spiritual power reserves.
Zhou Zonglan lay in his arms, his eyes closed, his brows twisted in pain, his body twitching from time to time, his lips opening and closing silently, as if he was experiencing great torment in a fantasy world.
"Big Brother, Suyao!" Qu Mingwu was obviously relieved to see them come back, but when he looked down and saw Zhou Zonglan's tormented look, his brows furrowed again. "Zonglan's condition is not good. His spiritual consciousness is fluctuating more and more violently. If it continues like this, I'm afraid..."
Zhou Suyao hurried forward, wanting to help him transfer spiritual power to the back of the third senior brother, but was stopped by the eldest senior brother.
"You yourself have also fallen into an illusion, and your spiritual power is already weak. If you continue to transfer spiritual power to Zong Lan, I'm afraid both of you will be injured."
After saying that, he walked forward, his fingertips glowing with golden light, and tapped Zhou Zonglan's eyebrows. After a moment, his expression became more solemn.
"His obsession is very deep, and the illusion has become a quagmire. Forcing his wisdom into it will hurt his spiritual roots."
Zhou Shanyuan pondered for a moment, his eyes sweeping over the two of them. "Now, we can only find something that can soothe his obsession, and then guide him from the outside world, using softness to overcome hardness, and slowly help him escape from this illusion."
After hearing this, the second senior brother helped Zhou Zonglan lie down and said, "I'll go find him."
His eyes were red. "I'm going to chase the driver who's transporting the luggage. Before I left, I told him not to bring so many useless things. Fortunately... he always disobeys."
As he said this, he stood up, and just as he was about to take a step, his ankle was suddenly grabbed.
He looked blankly at the two people sitting beside him. Seeing that they both shrugged innocently, he slowly looked at the person lying on the ground.
The third senior brother still had a frown on his face, but his lips had changed color.
"Second Brother..."
Zhou Zonglan murmured in a coma, and just when Qu Mingwu wanted to pull his hands away, Zhou Shanyuan suddenly called out to him.
"No."
Zhou Shanyuan stepped forward to probe Zhou Zonglan's consciousness, then pulled Zhou Suyao over and placed her hand on the top of his third senior brother's head.
Then he raised his head and looked at Qu Mingwu, who still had a confused look on his face.
The corners of his lips curled up, and he seemed to be relieved.
"No need. We are his obsession."
