Rongyu, a place of memories?
Geng Qi slowly got up. He felt no discomfort at all. The unbearable, tearing pain that had been so intense just moments before was completely gone. Upon closer inspection, even his body seemed somewhat unreal.
What am I now?
"..."
His soul left his body, so what about his physical body...?
Geng Qi wanted to rub his forehead, but in fact, even rubbing his forehead couldn't hide the complex emotions in his heart.
Why am I here?
"He wouldn't be so beastly as to do anything to someone who's unconscious, would he?"
"..." Why does this sound so awkward?
Is there a way to get out?
"Then why are you so calm?"
Because he didn't really want to go out!
There was no response in his mind. Suddenly, there was a loud bang. Not far away, behind a rocky hill, an earthquake caused a landslide, and rock fragments flew everywhere. Geng Qi was startled and quickly ran over. What he saw was a mother and child hiding in the grass, having bypassed the rocks.
They were face to face, but the mother and child ignored him.
The woman slightly raised her head, and the moment Geng Qi saw that face, he knew who it was.
She bore an eight-tenths resemblance to Rong Yu, with a tall and slender figure and stunning beauty. Dressed in a blue robe, her hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, simple yet elegant, refined and profound. Mother and son shared the same clear eyes, but she possessed a touch more feminine gentleness between her brows than Rong Yu. However, at this moment, her brows were furrowed, and although her face was bloodless, her eyes were sharp, showing no trace of feminine weakness.
"Mother, who are they? Why are they killing us?"
The child, who was buried in the woman's arms, suddenly looked up. His face was exquisitely sculpted, like a porcelain doll, a miniature version of Rongyu.
The little child had a clear voice, carrying the innocent confusion of childhood.
Looking at the innocent and naive person in front of him, Geng Qi recalled the person outside who was doing something to him. They were worlds apart and incomparable!
The woman held the child in her arms, set up a protective barrier around them, and whispered, "They are bad people, but don't be afraid, little Mo. Go to sleep for a while, or you won't be able to run later."
As a child, Rong Yu was very dependent on and trusted his mother. He obediently responded and then lay down on the woman's lap and closed his eyes.
Geng Qi found Rong Yu's current state intriguing, but he felt no excitement whatsoever.
He wasn't an ignorant child; he could see that the woman before him was on her last legs.
The moment the child lay down, she quietly raised her hand and wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth.
The barrier she had painstakingly erected was already in a state of disrepair.
One person, three people, ten people—people kept entering her barrier, and a few glimmers of despair flashed in the woman's eyes.
She held the child in her arms, holding him tightly.
Rong Yu seemed to be asleep, showing no reaction whatsoever.
Finally, someone reached them, but the woman did not look up.
Some wielded swords, some controlled talismans, and some formed hand seals.
Geng Qi did not move. To him, this place was just a mirror image; he could see it, but he could not touch it.
He watched helplessly as the attacks landed on the woman. Countless thick vines rose from the ground, enduring the merciless assault. The vines snapped, bleeding bright red blood, while the woman shielded the child's body, transforming into specks of light from beneath her feet.
"Her body..."
Geng Qi thought of the withered blood vine he had encountered in the previous secret realm. Plants can develop intelligence and can also take shape, but he had never encountered a plant that could take shape before. This woman was also different from the demons of the demon realm. She was full of spiritual energy, and in the glowing light, she seemed like an elf in the depths of a dense forest.
He widened his eyes slightly, looking at the light emanating from the woman's feet, and suddenly became worried about the child lying in his arms.
The fierce attack woke the sleeping person. Little Rongyu looked up groggily: "Mother..."
Something splashed on his face, and when he wiped his face with his small hand, a streak of blood appeared.
"Mother……"
He called out again, and the woman seemed to hear him, lowered her head, and smiled gently at him: "Little Mo, don't be afraid."
Rong Yu simply looked at her. Both of their clothes were stained with blood, and mottled bloodstains were still dripping. At the critical moment, a loud bang was heard in the air, and a burst of purple light suddenly appeared on the other side of the mountain. In an instant, dark clouds gathered, and several golden lights flashed across the sky. One of them landed right above the woman. Before Geng Qi could see it clearly, the golden light seeped into the blood-soaked vines and merged with them.
The woman's broken and severely injured body healed rapidly. Suddenly, her beautiful eyes widened, and without hesitation, she withdrew the vines, transferring the golden light within her body into the child's body. The expression on her face was indescribable, a mixture of joy and relief, leaving one feeling deeply saddened.
"It's alright, it's alright, Little Mo..."
As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. Realizing what he was about to do, Geng Qi involuntarily took a step forward.
The golden light entered the child's body, along with the woman's lifelong cultivation and primordial divine soul power.
"Mother, what are you doing?"
Rong Yu's eyes were filled with confusion as he let the woman hold his wrist. He tilted his head back slightly and saw several sword lights piercing through the barrier woven from vines and into the woman's frail body.
The woman swayed slightly, but did not try to resist. Her soul left her body, and she grew weaker and weaker. She swallowed the blood in her throat. The vines withered little by little due to her weakness, and several spiritual swords containing a storm of spiritual power finally pierced into the woman's heart without any resistance.
