Chapter 174 Finale
An old man emerged from the trunk of the peach tree and walked out.
He bowed to Yu Lanxi and Xiao Jinhe.
"Your Excellencies."
The old man straightened up and saw Xiao Jinhe wiping the orange juice from the corner of Yu Lanxi's mouth with a tissue, and his eyes curved with a smile.
"It's great to see the two adults together again."
So... he really is my ex-boyfriend.
Yu Lanxi raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Jinhe, and the figure of a man in a white robe and golden eyes flashed through her mind.
Fragmented fragments flashed through my mind like pictures.
After looking for a while, he lowered his eyes.
"Xiao Xi." Xiao Jinhe held Yu Lanxi's hand.
Yu Lanxi raised her eyelids and looked at him.
"Xiao Xi." Xiao Jinhe called his name again, looking deeply at Yu Lanxi with his dark eyes.
The old man saw that the atmosphere between the two was not right and slapped his mouth: "Oh, look at my mouth."
If he had known that the matter between the two adults had not yet been discussed, he would definitely not have shown up.
"Hiss... Lord Yu, someone is digging out my body!" the old man shouted, "Your body is still buried beneath my body! I have to go back..."
The tall peach tree and the old man disappeared together.
Yu Lanxi broke free from Xiao Jinhe's hand.
Xiao Jinhe looked at him stubbornly and asked, "Is Xiao Xi coming back?"
"You can come find me." Yu Lanxi's voice was emotionless.
【Host……】
The next moment, Yu Lanxi tore through the dimensional channel and returned to the world that belonged to her.
The floating islands are full of greenery, with flying cranes and flowing springs.
On the main island, there is a huge peach tree.
Large clusters of pink flowers spread across most of the sky, and everywhere you looked was soft, light pink.
Yu Lanxi saw that under the tree trunk, a soul that was almost shriveled into a paper man was lying on the ground, digging the soil hard.
"Why are you digging up my coffin for no reason?" Yu Lanxi crossed her arms over her chest and looked at the withered soul. "Tsk, what a disgusting aura."
The protagonists he met in the several dimensions he traveled through all had more or less a similar aura.
The shriveled soul was startled and used all four limbs like a dog to dig the soil even harder, even chewing the mud with its mouth.
The fortunes of the protagonists of each plane were returned to their original owners. Its power was almost exhausted. The thing under the tree was its last chance...
The branches and leaves of the peach tree fell down, whipping the shriveled soul with a snapping sound.
The shriveled soul was beaten so thin that it was almost transparent.
"Old Peach Tree, this won't do. You couldn't even beat him to death." Yu Lanxi approached slowly, as if strolling in the garden.
The old peach tree said, "I mainly want to leave this thing to you. It is because of this that you and the God have been separated for many years."
"Yeah, that's what it is..." Yu Lanxi sneered.
The ground shook, and something that the shriveled soul had been digging for a long time but couldn't dig out finally emerged by itself.
It was a crystal coffin. Without opening the lid, one could see the enchanting figure in a red robe lying inside.
[Host...that's you...]
It was because his soul left his body and he randomly found a place to sleep and cultivate his soul that System Zero Zero Zero mistakenly thought he was a ghost that needed to be bound to the system to complete a task to be resurrected.
"Yes, my body." Yu Lanxi lifted her sleeves and the coffin lid opened.
The shriveled soul suddenly pounced towards the coffin, with only the jade pendant worn around Yu Lanxi's waist in its eyes.
This jade pendant contains a trace of the original power of Yu Lanxi and her lover.
Even if Yu Lanxi herself had not returned, this withered soul with a haggard face would not have been able to snatch this power. She was just desperate and had no other way to survive, so she came to try.
Yu Lanxi returned to her body and smashed the shriveled soul into pieces.
Then, Yu Lanxi used a magical power to hang up the fragments.
"Old peach tree, keep whipping. Whip that guy into as many pieces as he was broken into back then." Yu Lanxi ordered.
The branches of the old peach tree shook, and a large number of flowers fell.
Like the lingering snow, soft pink petals fell to the ground.
"Master Yu, who is that guy?" The old peach tree smiled, "If you don't tell me his name..."
"Do you want me to spank you?"
The old peach tree stopped talking and began to suck out the shriveled soul, beating it into pieces, which was more cruel than lingchi.
In another dimension, Xiao Jinhe looked at the empty chair and the half-drunk orange juice.
He walked over and sat down, picked up the cup and slowly drank the remaining orange juice from Yu Lanxi.
The tall peach tree has disappeared, and sitting here will be exposed to the sun. Xiao Jinhe did not change his position, but just sat there thinking.
He seemed to have done something wrong to Xiaoxi, so he was afraid that Xiaoxi would leave without looking back.
What on earth is this?
"Goff, where's the big peach tree?"
Lan Zhaozhao lives next door and can also see the peach tree.
But when I got home today, I didn’t see the big peach tree!
"I'm accompanying your brother on an errand."
Lan Zhaozhao was puzzled: "Ah, then when will my brother come back? He went out on business this time without you..."
"I will go find him." Xiao Jinhe said firmly.
Lan Zhaozhao vaguely felt that something big had happened, and even felt that her brother might never come back from this long journey.
She observed secretly and saw that Xiao Jinhe was like an empty-nest elderly person, sitting on a chair drinking orange juice and gazing into the distance.
She was very worried about Gefu's mental state, so she burned the letter and sent it to Yu Lanxi, but there was no reply.
I don’t know if I didn’t receive the letter.
Lan Zhaozhao was very busy, but she still took time to visit Xiao Jinhe. However, perhaps because the time interval was too long, she only saw a short note left on the chair: Bring Xiaoxi back soon.
Countless fragments are suspended in the old peach tree, all of which are fragments of the soul of a shriveled soul.
The space twisted a little, and the old peach tree saw Xiao Jinhe in a suit and tie.
As Xiao Jinhe approached the peach tree, his short hair grew longer and was tied up with a hairpin.
The suit on his body turned into a white brocade robe, and the leather shoes on his feet turned into black boots.
The pitch-black pupils turned into an extremely majestic golden color.
"Welcome back, Lord God." shouted the old peach tree.
Only if Xiao Jinhe remembers that he is the true god Yan Lin can he return here.
Yan Lin swept his golden eyes across and crushed the soul that had been tortured beyond recognition into ashes.
There were fragments before, but now there is nothing left of the shriveled soul.
"Where is Xiao Xi?" Yan Lin asked.
"He told you to wait," the old peach tree said. "I don't know exactly how many days... Lord Yu waited for you under the tree for three days. Then, to stabilize the fragments of your soul, he sacrificed all his cultivation. His demon soul was damaged and dormant for who knows how many years before waking up... You can return so soon, thanks to him. You deserved to wait."
"I know." Yan Lin stood beside the peach tree, waiting quietly.
That year, he had made an appointment to meet Xiao Xi under the peach tree, but because of some disturbance, multiple planes collapsed one after another, causing the deaths of countless people in those planes.
In order to keep those worlds from collapsing, he had to turn into fragments and fill them with his own body.
In the end, he only had time to send a message to Yu Lanxi saying "I'm sorry."
Yan Lin knew Yu Lanxi very well, and knew she was a soft-hearted demon.
It clearly gathered all kinds of desires in the world, but what eventually grew out of these muddy desires was the pure Yu Lanxi.
His Xiao Xi was not angry about his choice, but was afraid and aggrieved.
People will admire the savior who saves the world.
But to become the savior's lover, one has to endure countless lonely days and nights because of the savior's busyness.
After the savior sacrifices himself, the lover has to endure the pain of losing his loved one, and even take on the responsibility of the savior and sacrifice himself.
Underworld
Yu Lanxi is drinking Meng Po soup.
Not all soups cooked by Meng Po cause amnesia, there are other soups as well.
A furry, white, soft little ball, with short arms and legs, held a small bowl and drank soup: "Host, the soup is delicious!"
Yu Lanxi stroked the Maotuanzi system: "Then drink more."
The charming Meng Po lifted her hair and said with a smile, "Master Yu, the God has been waiting for you under the tree. Are you sure you don't want to go and see him?"
"He's waiting, so I have to go? I'll take a nap." Yu Lanxi said, "I'll go when I wake up."
Meng Po glanced at System Zero Zero, who was guzzling the soup, and said, "You little thing, you are so lucky to follow Master Yu."
"Hmm?" System Zero Zero's small eyes were filled with confusion.
Meng Po explained, "These systems of yours were developed by the Lord God's subordinates to help fix bugs in various planes. I never thought you, so bold, would actually bind Lord Yu to do a mission."
System 000:!!!
My host’s predecessor was my boss’s boss’s boss!
And that one is still waiting for its host.
Yu Lanxi drank the soup calmly.
When Meng Po saw Yu Lanxi finish her soup and leave, she leaned against the door and muttered to herself.
"Before, I couldn't sleep because I was retaining my memories, so I came to me for the soup. Now that the effect of the soup is gone, how long can I sleep?"
Yu Lanxi took the fur ball and went back to her cave to sleep.
"Why are there so many skins?" Maotuanzi looked at the various kinds of furs spread or hanging in the cave, and Heidou's eyes were full of shock.
Yu Lanxi said, "Those monsters wanted to bully me, so I skinned them."
As he spoke, he lay down on the soft bed. The soft quilt was woven by Yan Lin at the Weaver Girl using clouds from the sky.
System Zero Zero looked around and saw not only fox skin and snake skin, but also dragon skin...
It swallowed its saliva and thought, how many fights has my host fought?
"You can play as you please, I'll take a nap."
"Okay." System 000 touched all the rare treasures in Yu Lanxi's cave.
The cave of its host is full of good things with abundant spiritual energy, which is equivalent to a bank in the fairy world. People want to move all the things inside and take them for themselves.
Yu Lanxi woke up and saw System Linglingling lying in a pile of treasures, looking like he was about to drool.
"I don't think I slept long?"
"I slept for six hours and thirty-five minutes." The system reported the time with perfect accuracy.
Yu Lanxi said with a gloomy face: "I thought I could sleep for a year or two."
"Still sleeping?"
"sleep."
Yu Lanxi cast a spell on herself and forced herself to sleep for ten more days and nights.
I woke up again, looking radiant, and couldn't fall asleep again.
Unable to sleep, he simply went to the old peach tree.
Yan Lin was sitting cross-legged under a peach tree, playing the zither, his slender, bony fingers plucking the strings.
Pink petals fell on his snow-white robe, making this god, who seemed so cold and untouched by dust, feel less distant and difficult to approach.
"Xiao Xi." Yan Lin put away the zither and strode towards Yu Lanxi who was standing there motionless.
System 000 stood not far away, watching the two quietly.
Yu Lanxi raised her hand to block Yan Lin who was about to approach.
Yan Lin paused, his golden eyes looking at Yu Lanxi seriously with a gentle expression.
"You sent me a message at that time, saying you were sorry. I told you that I would drink Meng Po soup, forget you, and find other better men in the future." Yu Lanxi counted on her fingers, "Lou Chengjue, Ding Yan, Mu Xi, Xuan Ying, Xiao Jinhe... You see, I found so many..."
"But even if you lost your memory, it was still me you found."
Those were the fragments of him scattered in the world, and Xiao Xi picked them up one by one and glued them together.
Yu Lanxi looked at Yan Lin angrily: "Shut up."
Yan Lin didn't say anything, but hugged Yu Lanxi and patted his back soothingly.
"Do you know that you've gone too far? If it weren't for me, you would have been shattered into pieces and wouldn't even be able to stick together..."
Yu Lanxi bit Yan Lin's neck viciously, venting the panic she felt when she realized her lover was broken into countless pieces.
Like a bloodthirsty vampire, he bit the blood and didn't let go even after feeling the salty and fishy taste.
The blood of God is like a tonic to demons.
A large area of Yan Lin's neck turned red from being bitten.
He hugged Yu Lanxi lovingly, his voice as gentle as the wind blowing through the forest in summer.
"It's my fault. I went too far. Xiao Xi has worked hard."
"You are really annoying." Yu Lanxi licked the blood off the side of his neck and looked at him unhappily.
In my heart, I know that Yan Lin’s choice is not wrong, but the confusion and helplessness of almost losing his lover have turned into the awkwardness I feel now, and I want to find an outlet to vent.
Yan Lin tilted his head and said, "If you haven't vented your anger yet, keep biting."
"I won't bite anymore." Yu Lanxi snorted coldly, "What do you have to bite?"
Knowing that he had calmed down, Yan Lin smiled, held Yu Lanxi's face and kissed him on the lips.
“Um…you…”
"Xiao Xi is very kissable." Yan Lin rolled and rubbed his lover's lips, extremely gentle and lingering.
The old peach tree diligently acted as the atmosphere creator, swaying its branches and scattering peach petals.
System Zero Zero looked up at the two people hugging and said, "That's great."
Sheets of letter paper traveled through time and space and fell into Yu Lanxi's hands.
Yu Lanxi sat in Yan Lin's arms and saw the letters written by Lan Zhaozhao, all of which were asking where her brother had gone, whether she didn't want her brother-in-law anymore, whether her brother-in-law had turned into a wife-waiting stone, etc...
"The Husband-Waiting Rock? Is your mental state not normal?" Yu Lanxi raised the letter paper.
"I told Zhaozhao I'd take you back. Do you want to go back to that plane with me and live there for a while?" Yan Lin said, "We can also go to those planes you helped save and take a look and have some fun."
Yu Lanxi raised her head proudly: "Then beg me."
"Please, baby."
Yu Lanxi rubbed her ears, which were numbed by the magnetic voice, and pretended to be disgusted: "You are so corny..."
"Are you going?"
"Let's go."
System Zero Zero took short steps: "Host, what about me?"
"You can come with us and travel around the world with us." Yu Lanxi held the little girl in her arms.
