Chapter 209 Plot 85 The Legendary Magic Flower
Soon, Old Man Qing noticed something was amiss. He felt the spiritual energy in his body rapidly dissipate uncontrollably. At the same time, the demonic energy surrounding him, like a wolf smelling prey, was eager to move and try to penetrate his body.
Old Man Qing didn't have time to think about it. He rushed forward and quickly picked up 66.
66 was startled by this sudden action. His little body shrank suddenly, and he raised his head. He looked at Old Man Qing with his round eyes in confusion, his eyes full of puzzlement. But he seemed to feel Old Man Qing's anxiety, so he did not struggle and let Old Man Qing hold him.
Old Man Qing hugged 66 tightly, pushed off the ground with his feet and flew towards the bright side of the sky. While flying in the air, he could clearly feel the demonic energy following him like a shadow, constantly attacking his protective spiritual power, trying to break through the defense line.
Every impact of the demonic energy caused his spiritual power to be consumed faster and faster.
In the secret realm, Jing Jin followed behind Su Yan, watching her looking around in front of him, her behavior revealing an indescribable weirdness.
Jing Jin had already sensed in his heart that Su Yan must be hiding something from him.
But there were many people traveling with her along the way, and she was hesitant to ask because of the presence of so many people.
At this moment, they were finally the only two left. Jing Jin struggled internally for a long time, hesitating again and again, before she mustered up the courage and spoke softly: "Are you... hiding something from me?" Her voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear in this quiet secret place.
Although the voice was not loud, even though Su Yan could not hear it clearly, based on his understanding of Jing Jin, he guessed that she would ask him this question.
Su Yan's body stiffened slightly, his steps paused, and he slowly turned his head to look at Jing Jin. Their eyes met in mid-air, and Su Yan saw concern and confusion in Jing Jin's eyes.
Her lips moved slightly, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally said, "No..." The voice she spoke in was so unconvincing that even she herself felt it lacked conviction.
After saying that, Su Yan seemed eager to get rid of the awkward atmosphere. He quickly diverted his attention, turned around, pointed at an unknown flower not far away, and said loudly: "Come here! This flower is so beautiful."
The flower swayed gently in the breeze, its petals showing a strange color and emitting a charming luster, appearing particularly beautiful in this secret place.
Su Yan's eyes were deeply attracted by the flower, and he stretched out his hand uncontrollably, wanting to touch it.
Seeing this, Jing Jin's heart suddenly tightened. He rushed forward, reached out and grabbed Su Yan's wrist, and pulled her hand back forcefully.
"Don't touch it, this flower is very dangerous." Jing Jin's voice was anxious and serious, his eyes fixed on the flower, full of vigilance.
Su Yan was a little stunned by Jing Jin's sudden action. She looked at the flower again, not feeling scared at all. But Jing Jin's words made her obey subconsciously.
Su Yan withdrew his hand and subconsciously wiped it on his trouser leg.
Su Yan smiled awkwardly, which was a little forced and a little unnatural. She raised her head and looked at Jing Jin, and found that Jing Jin was staring at her closely. This look made Su Yan feel an inexplicable pressure.
Su Yan was the first to avoid Jing Jin's gaze. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at Jing Jin again. The two of them stood there stiffly, and the air around them became heavy.
Su Yan was struggling in her heart. She knew she couldn't hide it any longer, but she didn't know where to start.
Su Yan spoke slowly, his voice soft but with a hint of trembling: "In the future, no, it should be another world, it's different from here. People there can't fly, but they can create things that can fly into the sky. There is also electricity, which is completely different from the lightning here. There are many uses for electricity there. It can make darkness bright, and it can also be used for heating and cooling. There are countless uses. However, there are orphans there, but compared to here, the orphans there will not starve to death. There was an orphan who had been with a good friend since childhood. After she grew up, she gained another good friend. At that time, she was really happy."
As Su Yan spoke of this, her thoughts drifted back to the little details of that world. She could see images of her friends shopping, eating together, and staying up late chatting. The corners of her mouth lifted unconsciously, and she smiled happily, a smile filled with nostalgia for the good old days.
However, Su Yan's smile quickly faded, her expression returning to calm, even tinged with a hint of sadness. She continued, "Her best friend suddenly vanished. She searched for a long time, even seeking help from the law enforcers of that world, but still couldn't find any clues. Unexpectedly, the next day, another friend of hers also vanished. And it was as if this friend had never existed in that world. Even those around him had forgotten about him."
Su Yan said this, thinking of the prophetic dream a few days ago, and a trace of confusion and fear flashed in her eyes. She began to doubt everything here, including Jing Jin in front of her. Is this person real or fake?
But the memories of being with Jing Jin were so real, every moment was deeply imprinted in her heart. This was the first time she truly fell in love with someone. Even if it was a dream, the emotions were real.
Su Yan mustered up his courage, looked into Jing Jin's eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm afraid I'll disappear like those friends."
Jing Jin listened quietly to Su Yan's story, feeling a mixture of emotions. She had never thought that Su Yan would be worried about this. She gently reached out her hand, wiped away the tears that were about to fall from Su Yan's eyes, and said softly, "No, I won't let you disappear."
Su Yan still felt that the dream was real. A strong premonition spread in her heart, telling her that she was about to leave here.
She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and returned to her previous pretended strong state, saying: "If I really disappear that day, I will just live in another world, not one I want to leave, and I will miss you." In fact, Su Yan also had a sentence "I will always love you" buried deep in his heart and did not say it out loud.
She knew that immortal cultivators had long lifespans, and that she would be just an ordinary human being if she returned to the modern world. She was afraid that Jing Jin would spend the long years alone waiting for her. She was not afraid that Jing Jin would find a new love, because she knew that Jing Jin's love for her was sincere. She was afraid that Jing Jin would suffer in endless longing, which would be more painful for her than if she disappeared.
They were so engrossed in their conversation that they hadn't realized they had wasted too much time in front of this flower. Little did they know that this seemingly beautiful flower was actually a phantom flower.
At this moment, the Phantom Flower was swaying slowly and gracefully in the breeze, but in fact, it was silently emitting a colorless and odorless scent. The scent was like an invisible ghost, spreading in the air and gradually enveloping Su Yan and Jing Jin.
As time went by, they both inhaled a lot of flower scent without realizing it.
At first, Su Yan only felt a little dizzy and the scene in front of her eyes became blurred. She subconsciously grabbed Jing Jin's hand, trying to seek a little support.
Jing Jin also noticed something was wrong. Her body began to weaken and her legs felt heavy as if they were filled with lead. She tried to use her internal energy to resist, but found that the spiritual energy in her body became chaotic.
The two's vision gradually blurred. Under the erosion of the flower breath, they could no longer hold on. Their bodies softened and they fell straight to the ground.
