The space barrier disappeared, and Yan An stretched out his right hand. "I'll give you three seconds to get out of here immediately."
The corners of Lu Jingzhi's mouth rose slightly, and she was very happy. The next second after she finished speaking, her whole body turned into a piece of wood in the blink of an eye, and Lu Jingzhi's figure appeared not far away.
Seeing that his only trump card slipped away like this, the new leader was shocked and angrily cursed the bastard.
Then he quickly slapped the wood in front of him with his right hand, and the terrifying demonic energy burst out of his body, shocking the demons to fly back several meters. He suddenly dodged and grabbed Lu Jingzhi's neck with his right hand again.
"Give me a piece to be buried with you."
Yan An resisted the invasion of demonic power, holding the Phoenix-patterned Sword in his hand, and a sharp sword energy cut through the space and slashed towards the leader.
But he was still a step too slow, and the sharp claws pierced into his neck, and his head was separated in an instant.
"Hahaha... Bury with me."
"ah!"
After he finished speaking, he was cut in half by Yan An's sword energy, just like a knife cutting tofu, and both of them fell in a pool of blood.
For a moment, the whole world was quiet...
Yan An's delicate body trembled as she stared at Lu Jingzhi's corpse not far away. Her pretty face turned pale, her legs softened, and a sharp crackling sound filled her ears, making her unable to hear anything.
"Your Majesty." Luo Xue rushed forward to support her, and then many monsters such as white bears and fire apes surrounded her one after another.
"Mrs. Empress, please cheer up!"
"Your Majesty the Empress..."
But no matter how they called out, Yan An seemed to hear nothing. With Luo Xue's support, he staggered to Lu Jingzhi's body.
"Jing...Jing...Jingzhi."
She collapsed on the ground, reaching for his body with trembling hands. Her hands were stained with blood, and her eyes were blurred with tears, unable to see anything clearly.
The monsters looked at Yan An, who was heartbroken and in such a miserable state. Besides being surprised at the relationship between the two, they felt more sad.
Suddenly, her heart ached, her throat tasted fishy and sweet, and she spat out a mouthful of golden-red blood. Her eyes went dark and she fainted.
"Your Majesty the Empress!"
"Hurry up and take the Empress to rest."
"Doctor Bluebird, please show it to the Empress."
A flurry of shouting rang out, and the next second she could hear nothing.
…
White Bear Clan, Wooden House——
A flash of lightning streaked across the sky.
Boom, a loud noise came from the sky.
"Jingzhi!"
She suddenly got up from the bed, with cold sweat on her forehead. She had just dreamed that Lu Jingzhi married her in the Lu family, but after worshipping heaven and earth, he left. No matter how she called him, it was useless.
"Mrs. Empress, you are awake."
After a while, she came back to her senses and grabbed Luo Xue's arm with her cold hands, "Luo Xue, where is Jing Zhi?"
She looked at Luo Xue with hope, wishing that this was just a dream and when she woke up, he would still be there.
Luo Xue lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. Finally, she stammered, "Your Highness, please...please accept my condolences."
Hearing this, Yan An's eyes dimmed, "Where is he...his body?" His originally cold voice became hoarse.
"My mother and her companions followed human custom, covering his body in a coffin and placing it in the main hall of the tribe, preparing to hold his funeral."
"Yeah." Yan An lifted the quilt and stood up from the bed with a lifeless look in his eyes, like a body without a soul.
Luo Xue brought her to the downstairs of the wooden house, where stood many fifth- and sixth-level monsters transformed into humans.
The difference between the two is that one retains some animal parts, such as tail, ears, hair, etc., while the sixth level can completely transform into a human.
"Mrs. Empress, you are awake."
A plump, white-haired woman came over, followed by a thin man with pointed ears and a monkey-like face, who exuded a sense of cleverness.
"Well, where's the coffin?"
"Hey, I'll take you there."
The White Bear Chief brought Yan An to the lobby. There was no one else inside except a few orcs who came to pay their respects with grateful faces.
When they heard the noise, they respectfully stepped aside to make room for Yan An.
At this moment, she looked at the coffin, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she just stood there blankly without saying a word. Her mind flashed with every moment she spent with him, as well as his serious, focused, yet mean face.
Luo Xue looked at her crying silently, feeling sad, and stood behind her silently.
The entire lobby was extremely quiet, and no one disturbed her...
——
A drop of rain as big as a bean fell on a piece of wood, and then another drop, two drops, three drops...
Suddenly, the wood moved and gradually turned into the shape of a human.
Tick-tick...
Heavy rain suddenly fell. Lu Jingzhi opened his eyes, covered his chest in pain, sat up straight, and slowly stood up.
The wound on his chest made him grimace in pain, and then he walked under a tree and built a simple shed for himself with vines to shelter from the rain.
Then, he reached out and opened his collar, and found that his chest was red and even sunken.
"Phew~ Glad I survived."
"This flower-grafting technique is really good."
Today he tricked the dragon leader by transplanting flowers and trees, but before he could secretly rejoice when he heard his angry curse, he was slapped unconscious by the dragon leader, and finally turned into a piece of wood and lay on the ground for an unknown amount of time.
After muttering to himself, he sat cross-legged, with the mark of the wood lotus appearing on his forehead, and he was healing himself at an extremely fast speed.
Within a cup of tea, the wound on his chest healed quickly. He patted his muddy clothes and looked a little disheveled.
