Footsteps approached quickly. Gu Chenyuan turned his head and, through the blood-red light screen, saw Ye Qingyun rushing towards him with a look of anxiety on her face.
Gu Chenyuan glanced at Ye Qingyun, then lowered his head.
...His current appearance is too wretched and ugly.
Since they would be parting soon, he hoped to leave the best impression on Ye Qingyun.
"Gu Chenyuan! How are you?" Ye Qingyun had already arrived in front of the light screen. He wanted to reach out and touch Gu Chenyuan, but he found that he could not pass through the light screen.
He and Gu Chenyuan were separated by a thin layer of light, standing at opposite ends, unable to feel each other's warmth.
Ye Qingyun pounded on the light screen in a panic: "Gu Chenyuan, say something! How much longer can you hold on?"
When Gu Chenyuan heard Ye Qingyun's voice, even though he was thinking about leaving a good impression on Ye Qingyun just a moment ago, he couldn't help but look up at her.
He wanted to see him, he wanted to see him so badly.
Gu Chenyuan's face was pale, and he had lost all color. He was trembling with pain, but when he saw Ye Qingyun, he still managed to force a smile.
"I scared you," Gu Chenyuan said softly. "Don't look at me, I look ugly."
“You…” Ye Qingyun gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and placed her hand on the light screen.
Ye Qingyun felt a stinging sensation on her skin pressed against the light screen, but she did not withdraw her hand. Instead, she controlled her invisible spiritual power and slowly invaded the light screen.
He needed to find the weapon's weak point as quickly as possible, destroy it in one strike, and rescue Gu Chenyuan.
At the same time, he also had to comfort Gu Chenyuan and distract him to prevent Gu Chenyuan from having any accidents due to being too emotional.
"What time is it? You're still worried about your appearance?" Ye Qingyun said sullenly. "I've never seen you pay attention to your appearance before."
Gu Chenyuan smiled, his eyes fixed on Ye Qingyun, filled with deep reluctance and longing.
“After I die, you…find someone to take care of you,” Gu Chenyuan paused for a long time, feeling distressed, before continuing, “Don’t raise the child by yourself, it’s too tiring.”
Although he said that, the thought of Ye Qingyun being with someone else, taking care of their child with another man, and even... giving birth to another man's child made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
The lips he kissed will be kissed by other men, and the hands he held will be held by other men.
He was never even able to have a wedding with Ye Qingyun, and they were never officially married.
Therefore, Ye Qingyun's first real thorn in her side was not her husband, nor was her first sexual experience with him.
There will be other men who will taste the flavors he has never tasted before, giving Ye Qingyun his first time and leaving a deeper mark on Ye Qingyun's heart.
...He will be like a fleeting cloud, soon to be blown away. His child with Ye Qingyun may be the only thing that can prove they were once together.
Ye Qingyun laughed. Now that things had come to this, he no longer hid anything and said frankly, "Where would a child come from? How could a grown man like me possibly have a child?"
Gu Chenyuan was taken aback.
"I was just kidding. I only said that to keep you from running around. Are you stupid?" Ye Qingyun said. "You actually believed such an outrageous lie?"
Gu Chenyuan lowered his eyes, his mood strangely calm: "...Is that so?"
That severed the last connection between him and Ye Qingyun.
That's good. The painful past shouldn't exist in the first place. Rather than remembering him, he would rather Ye Qingyun live a happy life.
That's it, everything is perfect.
Ye Qingyun said again, "I don't want to find anyone else. I just want to be with you. Isn't it good enough that I want to be with you for the rest of my life?"
Gu Chenyuan knew these were sweet words he had said to him before he died, but he still couldn't help feeling happy after hearing them: "Okay."
"That's good, that's right. Why do you keep telling me to find other people? You need to seriously reflect on that." Ye Qingyun finally found the weapon's weakness. He endured the pain of withdrawing all his mental energy, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the weapon, while continuing to chat with Gu Chenyuan.
Do you believe in reincarnation?
Gu Chenyuan chuckled and shook his head.
Over the years, theology has long since disappeared and has been proven to be nonexistent. All the supernatural and bizarre claims are nothing more than people with special abilities pretending to be gods and ghosts.
“Yes, there is reincarnation,” Ye Qingyun insisted, even showing a bit of stubbornness. “When a person dies, after a period of time, they will be reincarnated and come back to this world.”
Ye Qingyun felt a sharp pain in his chest. He had revealed too much, violating the strict rules, and received a warning.
Ye Qingyun didn't shut up. He stared intently at Gu Chenyuan and stubbornly asked, "Do you understand?"
Gu Chenyuan didn't understand. He didn't know why Ye Qingyun was telling him all this. Did Ye Qingyun want to find his reincarnation and be with him again?
But reincarnation doesn't exist in the world. If Ye Qingyun really finds such a person, it's just someone who is similar to him, not him!
He didn't want anyone to be his substitute; he didn't want his image in Ye Qingyun's heart to be completely overwritten by another person, or even easily altered by another person.
Gu Chenyuan forced himself to stand up. He wanted to explain things to Ye Qingyun and persuade her to give up the idea of finding his reincarnation.
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Chenyuan saw a mouthful of bright red blood being spat onto the light screen.
Gu Chenyuan stared blankly at the pool of blood, his mind a complete blank. He slowly moved his eyes and saw Ye Qingyun's current appearance.
Almost instantly, Ye Qingyun's face turned ashen and terrifying, and her once bright and warm eyes became dull and lifeless, filled with death.
"...Qingyun?" Gu Chenyuan called out in disbelief.
Ye Qingyun looked at him and smiled.
"You won't die," Ye Qingyun said gently. "I won't let you die."
Spiderweb-like cracks began to appear on the light barrier that separated the two of them. The cracks gradually widened until they finally shattered with a loud bang.
The swirling red lights disrupted his vision. Gu Chenyuan's pain disappeared, but he couldn't see clearly. He groped his way forward, eager to find Ye Qingyun.
Gu Chenyuan's fingertips had turned icy cold, and he was trembling all over, not even daring to think about what had happened.
Why was that superpower decomposer suddenly destroyed? Why did Ye Qingyun turn into that state?
The light spots finally disappeared completely, and Gu Chenyuan saw where Ye Qingyun was.
Ye Qingyun collapsed on the ground not far away, her face ashen and her eyes closed.
