Cold Deer Guards the Ice Spring
God walked away and wept.
Lu Yixin saw it all clearly. She reached out to wipe away his tears, but he grabbed her hand and shook his head slightly.
Why...?
He held her hand tightly, interlocking their fingers and pressing it against his face.
"God-King—"
"Xin Xin—Lu Yixin!"
A cacophony of sounds drifted from the water. Finally, Shen Qiexing released her, ignoring her struggles, and carried her to the surface.
"Ah... Brother Qiexing!"
Finally reaching the oxygen, Lu Yixin gasped for breath, frantically turning around and rubbing her hands together. She shouted into the water, "Brother Qiexing, grab my hand, I'll bring you out!"
"Heart!"
Bai Tanxiang was the first to spot Lu Yixin, and she cried tears of joy, "Your Majesty, look! Xinxin is over there!"
King Sen laughed heartily, his cloudy, deep green eyes filled with tears that streamed down his aged face and melted into the sea. "Good, good! Sandalwood, hurry and go see if my heart is hurt."
Yun Xinglan was overjoyed and immediately wanted to fly down, but Huang Nu noticed his intention and glared at him fiercely, so Yun Xinglan stopped and had to give up.
As long as she comes back to life, that's all that matters.
Empty, empty, all empty. Lu Yixin caught nothing.
"Brother Qiexing..."
"God!"
An Ziyi helped the distraught Baozhu towards them. Baozhu collapsed into his arms, crying out in a broken voice, "God..."
Lu Yixin was frantic and at her wits' end. Seeing Baozhu was like grasping at a straw. She quickly asked her, "Miss, you must be from the Tianpin Sea, right? Can you find where Brother Qiexing is? I can't find him!"
"Don't worry," An Ziyi patted Baozhu's shoulder, glanced at Lu Yixin a few more times, "I'll go down and look for her. You wait here for a moment and I'll come back."
It's good that we can find it, it's good that we can find it...
Just then, Bai Tanxiang arrived. She excitedly hugged Lu Yixin, sobbing uncontrollably, "Xinxin, you're finally awake! Do you know how worried we were about you!"
"Sandalwood Lady, I'm alright," Lu Yixin hugged her back, then suddenly remembered something, broke free from her embrace, glanced at the weak and exhausted Baozhu beside her, and said urgently, "Sandalwood Lady, this young lady is badly injured, please save her!"
"this......"
Bai Tanxiang hesitated at first, but then remembered that this girl Baozhu had contributed a lot in the battle against the Phoenix Clan, so he pursed his lips and bent down to check her injuries.
"It might hurt a little, young lady, please bear with it."
Seeing her pale face and hissing breaths, Lu Yixin waited and waited, but the dragon snake never came. She was so anxious that she stomped her feet.
“You are Lu Yixin, right?” Baozhu asked, trying to distract her.
Lu Yixin's eyes lit up. "You know me! May I ask your name, young lady?"
"Just call me Baozhu."
"Good, good pearl," Lu Yixin covered her mouth and cried, "Can you tell me what happened to Brother Qiexing? Why didn't I sense any spiritual energy fluctuations from him when we were underwater? How come he has so many terrible wounds? He's missing now, I'm so worried about him..."
Baozhu watched her quietly. Having received the heart's blood of the God, she was now able to stand on the sea. She sobbed, and tears fell in strings like pearls.
She had only ever seen such fine pearls among the clam people.
Baozhu sighed and told her everything that had happened after her death. Lu Yixin knelt blankly on the icy water, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, as if she had gone mad.
If that's the case, then all that the God has done for her is worthwhile.
But everything Lu Yixin is experiencing now was caused by Shen Qiexing himself. Bai Tanxiang sniffed, but didn't say what was on her mind.
“Not only that, Miss Deer,” Baozhu’s eyes also reddened, and she said with a bitter smile, “Back when the God had just returned to the Heavenly Female Sea, he told me that he liked you.”
“But the God dares not tell you. He said he is sorry to you,” Baozhu raised her hand and touched Lu Yixin’s newly grown long hair. “Miss Lu, I beg you, don’t blame him.”
Lu Yixin opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, a silver dragon suddenly leaped out of the sea, with Shen Qiexing lying quietly on its back, his fate unknown.
"Brother Qiexing!"
"God!"
Baozhu quickly thanked Bai Tanxiang, then forced herself to crawl to Shen Qiexing's side. She then knelt down and cried out, "God, God, please wake up!"
"My Lord, the dragon clan's orphan has been retrieved," Ling Qian Shuang narrowed her eyes and grinned. "In my opinion, we don't need to do anything ourselves; he seems to be dead!"
Phoenix Maiden shook her head and flew towards Shen Qiexing's direction. "Do you think the Dragon God will die so easily? I am really worried. I must personally kill him to avenge the children of my Phoenix Clan who have died."
Lu Yixin carefully extended her finger, held her breath, and pressed it against his neck.
Only when she felt a faint, almost imperceptible heartbeat beneath her fingertips did her body suddenly go limp. "Brother Qiexing is still alive!"
"That's wonderful, that's really wonderful..."
Baozhu looked as if she had survived a disaster, completely exhausted. She glanced at An Ziyi, her eyes filled with a relieved smile.
“Don’t be too happy yet,” An Ziyi frowned. “If he doesn’t receive timely treatment, the God will definitely not last an hour.”
The air suddenly became quiet.
Bai Tanxiang remained silent, and neither Lu Yixin nor Baozhu dared to turn around and beg Bai Tanxiang.
It was already a miracle that she was able to heal Baozhu; Lu Yixin was truly unworthy of having her save Shen Qiexing as well.
As for Baozhu... she had no face to face Baitanxiang.
"Move him over here."
Suddenly, Bai Tanxiang's calm voice rang out from behind her. Baozhu could no longer hold back, her shoulders heaving as two streams of tears fell.
"Sandalwood Lady..."
Lu Yixin turned around in disbelief. In that instant, many things she wanted to say welled up in her heart, but after gathering in her mouth, she bit her tongue and just murmured her name.
"Don't misunderstand," Bai Tanxiang said coldly, looking at the unconscious Shen Qiexing, raising a soft light in her hand. "One thing at a time. In any case, he did save the life of our Sen Clan's King."
"What?" Lu Yixin's eyes widened.
Bai Tanxiang smiled gently, "Wang will explain this to you in detail when we get back."
What forest tribe king? Grandpa is still alive, isn't he? What happened to the forest tribe during the time she was gone?
"You should be glad that he didn't have much strength left when he was at the peak of the Thunder God Rank, and he only gave away a third of his heart's blood. If he had given you all of his heart's blood, even a great immortal would probably not be able to save him now."
“But,” Lu Yixin glanced at Baozhu and couldn’t help but touch her chest. She asked in confusion, “Didn’t Miss Baozhu say that the Tingni Divine Rank was enough to revive me? Why did he have to go through all that trouble to give me his heart’s blood?”
This time, it was Baozhu who answered her, "Miss Lu, you are mistaken. The Divine Rank of Tingni can indeed revive the dead, but that's all. The Divine Venerable is the son of the Dragon God, and his heart's divine blood contains immense magical power. If Miss Lu takes it, not only will her cultivation greatly improve, but her body's self-healing ability will also be accelerated. From now on, even if Miss Lu unfortunately encounters the same fate as she has now, she will not die so easily."
I see......
"The last surviving member of the dragon race, you have finally fallen into my hands."
The Phoenix Maiden approached the group with a light laugh, but the Forest King used his cane to stop her from going any further.
"What does the Divine Lord intend to do?"
“What I want to do is clear to you, King Sen,” Phoenix said coldly without even looking at him. “I have already shown my last bit of patience by waiting until Lu Yixin is resurrected before taking action. King Sen, do not try to challenge my bottom line.”
Knowing he had no reason to stop her, King Sen looked at his little granddaughter and sighed, "At least, until I take my child away."
"Then you'd better hurry up and take him away." The Phoenix Girl glanced at him sideways.
At this moment, Huang Nu and her group were only a few feet away from Lu Yixin. Yun Xinglan could no longer care about anything, broke through Ling Qianshuang, and flew towards Lu Yixin.
The Phoenix Maiden did not stop him any longer and let him go.
"Starry Night!"
Lu Yixin exclaimed with delight, "I never thought I'd see you again!"
She then saw the Phoenix Maiden behind Yun Xinglan, and the hairs on her body stood on end. She couldn't help but shrink back. "Phoenix Maiden..."
The Phoenix Maiden came for Brother Qiexing.
Since Brother Qiexing has not yet woken up, if the Phoenix Maiden wanted to, killing Brother Qiexing would be easier than crushing an ant.
"Miss Deer, you should leave here quickly."
Yun Xinglan grasped her hand, but Baozhu slapped it away, saying in an unfriendly tone, "Young Master Yun, just speak properly, don't get physical."
Even if the God Lord is still unconscious, she will keep a close eye on everyone who gets close to Lu Yixin and will not allow anyone to take advantage of her.
Yun Xinglan was extremely helpless. "What the Divine Lord wants is only Shen Qiexing's life. If you continue to stay here, she will hurt you again, and then there won't be a second Divine Rank Tingni who can save you."
The Divine Rank of Thunder and Rainbow has completely vanished from this world.
“Xinglan, you don’t need to persuade me anymore,” Lu Yixin smiled apologetically at him, took a deep breath, and stood in front of Shen Qiexing. “My mind is made up, and you should have known that long ago.”
Just as he expected...
"Hmm..."
Hearing the noise behind her, Lu Yixin's heart skipped a beat. She immediately abandoned Yun Xinglan and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Qiexing, you're finally awake! How are you feeling? Tell me if there's anything that's bothering you!"
"I'm alive."
Lu Yixin knelt on the ground and hugged him tightly, "Brother Qiexing, this is so wonderful."
At this critical juncture, Shen Qiexing actually woke up!
Phoenix Maiden's face darkened, and she stopped wasting words with the Forest King. She glared angrily at Shen Qiexing, her voice solemn and dignified: "Dragon Clan orphan, you're lucky to be alive, but can you escape once and then escape a second time!"
She flapped her enormous wings, stirring up a violent storm. The giant waves that had just calmed down were now stirring again. Lu Yixin lost her footing and fell into the sea.
"Prepare to die!"
"No, Brother Qiexing—" Lu Yixin cried out in alarm, her heart pounding with fear.
The instant the feather blade touched Shen Qiexing, a thick, dark red mist suddenly appeared, carrying him away from Huang Nu's grasp like a ghost.
"Stop it, everyone."
