Chapter 22 (End)
End with a kiss.
The distance between the two of them suddenly widened, and Qin Yi rested his forehead on Lian Yu's shoulder, his shoulders rising and falling rapidly.
The sweaty forehead and rapid breathing, everything seemed abnormal.
Lian Yu caught a glimpse of a golden light in Qin Yi's palm.
"Qin——"
Before Lian Yu could call out, a warm spiritual energy suddenly flowed into his meridians.
After a long drought, there was a rain. The rich and vigorous spiritual energy made every cell in Lian Yu's body relax.
Click.
A drop of blood rolled down the dagger blade.
Lian Yu's eyes were full of disbelief.
He suddenly grabbed Qin Yi's shoulders and said, "You gave me the inner elixir? I don't need it, take it away!"
Qin Yi smiled foolishly, "Master, you are much better."
"you!"
Qin Yi collapsed weakly in his arms with a smile on his lips.
"You gave me a pill made of blood then, and I will give you an inner pill in return."
"madman!"
While being scolded, Lian Yu quickly found the medicine and sprinkled it on Qin Yi's wound in a rage.
Fortunately, the medicine was not ordinary, and Qin Yi's wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only a small flesh-pink scratch on his side abdomen.
Now that his injury had healed, Qin Yi finally remembered to act like a spoiled child.
The young man bared his teeth and leaned into Lian Yu's arms, crying out in a mock manner:
"It hurts so much."
Lian Yu tightened his grip on the medicine.
This is Qin Yi's method. He uses an inner elixir to exchange for Lian Yu's life, but the price is the loss of all spiritual energy and becoming like everyone else.
“Is it worth it?”
Lian Yu's heart was filled with emotions, and he frowned:
"Why would you do this for me?"
Qin blinked: "Master feels sorry for me."
The continuous rain made me choke.
Qin Yi threw away the dagger, bent down and rubbed his head lazily in the crook of Lian Yu's neck, then grabbed Lian Yu's hand: "Now, Master and I are both ordinary people."
The spiritual power in the inner elixir repaired the meridians that had dried up and broken due to the rain, but that was all.
"Let's go into seclusion."
Qin Yi pinched Lian Yu's fingertips one by one, playfully saying:
"Go travel around the world."
"search!"
The warm atmosphere was broken by this sound.
The two men stood up at the same time. Qin Yi stretched out his arms to block Lian Yu, staring at the cave entrance vigilantly.
"They must be nearby. They can't get far!"
The sound is getting closer.
Lian Yu saw the bloodstains on the ground.
His back pressed against the wet rock wall, and an unspeakable sadness suddenly surged into Lian Yu's heart.
The trance overlaps with the original time and space.
Back then, he was cornered by the revenge-seeking Qin Yi, and he had been leaning against a cold stone wall. But this time, Qin Yi was standing beside him, making a completely different choice from the one he had made in the previous world.
But will the ending change?
[Xiaoyu! Do you want me to open the tunnel?]
As if he had noticed something, Tutu spoke in a hurried tone.
Let's go!
Lian Yu didn't answer, but just looked at the boy's back protecting him.
"We can't escape."
[Yes! Xiaoyu can go!]
"Qin Yi, you shouldn't die here."
When he spoke, Lian Yu was much calmer than he had imagined.
He wanted to have a complete ending here with Qin Yi instead of being a deserter.
Qin Yi turned around suddenly.
"What do you mean? I don't understand, I don't understand!"
The continuous rain touched the boy's forehead, pushing back a strand of wet hair, like a kiss from a dragonfly touching the water.
"This is my fate."
And you should have a brighter future.
I'm sorry for delaying you.
"Did you find it?"
The sound of chaotic footsteps was approaching.
Now, it's his turn to die.
Lian Yu withdrew his hand and strode towards the source of the shouting.
He wanted to lure those people away and give Qin Yi a chance of survival.
"No!"
A wind blew from behind Lian Yu, lifting his hair.
He heard Qin Yi's firm voice behind him:
"This is not your fate."
[What's this? ]
Tutu hesitated.
Lian Yu stared blankly at the time tunnel that suddenly opened up on the stone wall in front of him. Stardust traveled through millions of light years and settled in this unfamiliar space and time.
"You go first."
Qin Yi pushed Lian Yu towards the tunnel entrance and turned to go out of the cave.
Those people were about to come in. As long as he could hold on for a while, as long as Lian Yu left first—
The blade was against his waist.
Qin Yi froze and slowly turned his head.
The cold tip of the knife, the cold eyes, and Qin Yi's cold heart.
"You are the defector."
Lian Yu held the dagger firmly, as if he was determined to kill him, but there was more sadness in his eyes.
"Is this part of your plan? Is it fun to watch you fool me around?"
Thousands of emotions squeezed in my chest, causing it to ache as if a hole had been broken.
"Qin Yi, you are so smart. I am just being sentimental."
Lian Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The dagger pointed at Qin Yi again.
"Why?" Lian Yu stared at the familiar face in front of him, "Why do you do this?"
Qin Yi looked at him with a calm look in his eyes.
"Because I—"
The roar drowned out Qin Yi's voice.
"Catch them!"
Finally, the shouting broke through the cover of the weeds and suddenly became shrill.
Qin Yi stretched out his hand and pushed Lian Yu away.
The body suddenly lost balance, and the star wind in the tunnel brought up a huge suction force.
"Qin Yi!"
Lian Yu stretched out his arms in panic, trying to grab the boy in front of him, but he only caught a shadow that was getting farther and farther away.
Qin Yi turned around and looked at him.
Millions of swords pierced the boy's chest.
Then it fell into dead silence.
