Chapter 197 Sister!
Sheng Ran stood in place, the golden light in his palm trembling slightly.
She looked at the frightened faces of the people and the worried eyes of the beastly husbands around her.
Yun Ling's phoenix feathers protected her.
Tu Shanyi's tail rubbed her waist gently, giving her peace of mind.
Ling Rui held her wrist tightly.
Pei Xiaoxing and Huai Jun stood between her and Sheng Jieyue.
Zhu Jiuyin clenched her teeth again and again, and the divine fire in her hand ignited, waiting for her order, but Sheng Ran did not say a word.
Compromise?
It's not impossible. As long as she dies and these people can be saved, it seems worth it.
But she was unwilling to give up.
Sheng Jieyue killed Yun Ling and so many people.
Why should she risk her life to keep this madman alive?
Moreover, she is the goddess of flowers and the protector of the beast world, not a pawn to be threatened by anyone.
"I will not give you the Holy Lady and the Goddess of Flowers."
Sheng Ran's voice gradually calmed down, and golden light surged around her.
"I won't commit suicide either."
She looked up at Sheng Jieyue, her eyes full of determination.
"You said the world will collapse? Then I will use the power of a hundred flowers to protect this world. You want me to die? Ask the people around me first, ask the people in the beast world - they believe in me, not you, a madman!"
As soon as Sheng Ran finished speaking, she called out to the system in her mind: [System! Can the power of the God of Flowers be used to correct the world? Stop the collapse!]
[Host... Theoretically, it's possible, but it will consume a large amount of vitality and mental energy, and it can only temporarily stabilize the condition, not completely restore it to its original state...]
The system's voice was lagging with an unprecedented pause, as if the signal was unstable. [Unknown risks may arise later...]
Temporary stability is enough!
Sheng Ran didn't wait for the system to finish speaking, and immediately closed her eyes and concentrated all her strength in her palms.
Golden light burst out from her body, brighter than ever before.
Like a little sun, it illuminates the gray sky.
The light spread to the sky, and the originally inky clouds gradually dispersed, revealing a little clearness.
The strong wind stopped and the dust settled.
The severe pain in the orcs slowly disappeared.
As the people watched this scene, the fear in their eyes was gradually replaced by shock.
Someone couldn't help but murmur: "Really...it's stable..."
But Sheng Ran's face became paler and paler, blood suddenly flowed from the corner of his mouth, his body swayed, and he almost fell down.
Yun Ling was quick-witted and rushed over to support her. Feng Yu wrapped her body tightly, her voice full of heartache: "Master! Don't use any more strength!"
Tu Shanyi also came over, wrapped his tail around her waist, and said in a hurried tone: "Wife, that's enough! We'll figure out the rest!"
Sheng Jieyue looked at the world that had stabilized again, and her pupils suddenly shrank.
She shook her head in disbelief: "Impossible... How could you possibly do that? You're clearly almost collapsing!"
The perception of "protagonist halo" was completely shattered at this moment.
There was a hint of madness in Sheng Jieyue's eyes.
Sheng Ran leaned in Yun Ling's arms, breathing weakly, but still looked at Sheng Jieyue with a firm voice: "I won't kill you, but I won't let you destroy the Beast World again. Ling Rui, take the guards... and take her away."
Ling Rui nodded immediately and was about to step forward, but Sheng Jieyue suddenly stepped back and quickly pulled out the dagger from his waist.
That was the short dagger that Ling Rui carried with him, and it was extremely sharp.
She placed the dagger against her neck, her eyes darting wildly over the crowd. "Want to take me prisoner? No way! Either you die or I die! I will never be held prisoner!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed the dagger inward a little, and blood immediately seeped out of the skin on her neck.
Almost at the same moment, the sky darkened again.
A tiny crack appeared in the clouds, and black raindrops fell from the hole.
The raindrops, with a pungent smell, fell on the ground and corroded small pits on the stone slabs.
"This rain is poisonous!" Pei Xiaoxing shouted sternly.
The people fled in all directions, instantly filled with panic.
Ling Rui immediately raised his hand, and the earth-based power in his palm surged.
A thick earth wall appeared out of nowhere in front of the people, blocking the black raindrops.
But the raindrops fell on the earth wall, making a "sizzling" sound. The earth wall was corroded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and cracks soon appeared.
"Hahaha! Did you see that?" Sheng Jieyue laughed and pushed the dagger in again. Blood flowed down her neck.
"As long as I die, this hole will get bigger and bigger, and the entire beast world will be submerged in poisonous rain! Even if you are the God of Flowers, you can't save them!"
The people were completely panicked. Some cried out loud, and some knelt down towards Sheng Ran.
"Miss Sheng! Please... think of a solution!"
But several old orcs in the west of the city who had been rescued by Sheng Ran suddenly stood up.
They shouted at Sheng Jieyue, "Don't hurt Miss Sheng! She saved us, we can't let her die!"
Sheng Jieyue ignored him completely and just stared at Sheng Ran: "Sheng Ran! You choose! Do you want to die, or let everyone die with you!"
Sheng Ran looked at the earthen wall corroded by the poisonous rain and the desperate faces of the people, and her heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife.
She knows.
Sheng Jie did what she said. If the dagger went in just one inch further, the world would collapse again.
Sheng Jieyue had already seen her hesitation and sneered.
"You don't have much time left!" She pushed the dagger in a little.
Bright red blood dripped down the edge of the dagger.
"don't want!"
Sheng Ran's heart tightened, and regardless of her weak body, she pushed Yun Ling's hand away and staggered forward.
She grabbed Sheng Jieyue's wrist tightly and said suddenly in a hurry, "Don't do this! Sister!"
"Sister?" These two words were like thunder, which froze Sheng Jieyue's whole body.
Ever since Sheng Ran was exiled, he never even looked at her straight in the eye, let alone called her "sister".
At this moment, this urgent and pleading call made her hand holding the dagger tremble slightly.
The madness in his eyes faded a little in an instant.
There was a barely perceptible flash of shock and confusion.
How long has it been since she heard Sheng Ran call her like that?
It has been so long that she almost forgot that they once had a sisterly relationship.
The dagger stopped at the neck and did not move further.
Sheng Ran saw the relaxation in her eyes, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.
Her voice softened, "Sister, don't be stubborn. You can make up for your previous mistakes. You don't have to die!"
"Wasn't I notorious and unscrupulous in the past? As long as you can change, the people will accept you."
Sheng Jieyue's eyes flickered, and the hand holding the dagger gradually loosened.
Sheng Ran thought she had really changed her mind and was about to reach for the dagger.
But a hint of ruthlessness suddenly flashed in Sheng Jieyue's eyes!
She twisted her hand back suddenly and broke free from Sheng Ran's hand.
The dagger changed direction instantly, and the cold blade was placed directly on Sheng Ran's neck!
"How can I be the same as you! I was born to be the protagonist, why should I deserve those people's forgiveness?!"
