Chapter 154 Disappearing
Chapter 154 Disappearing
Gu Chuan stood up and sighed heavily.Bai Yuyi's blood was still stained on his hand, but with her disappearance, even the blood was gone.
After the spirit butterfly dispersed, the only traces of her existence in the world were the soul orb and the jade for Li.
I reached out and pressed the scorched ground, and the body temperature belonging to Bai Yuyi had completely dissipated.
I have complicated feelings for Bai Yuyi. At the beginning, when I didn't understand her "pursuit", I tried every means to avoid it.Later, when I learned about Lin Jinyuan's existence, I got rid of my prejudice, and gradually realized that she is a very nice girl.
I never thought she would leave so suddenly.
Gu Chuan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the sadness in his eyes was gone: "Let's go."
I stood up and took one last look at the patch of earth where she had been lying.
The two of them returned the same way, and no one spoke on the way. The soul orb was warm and cool, and it was very comfortable to hold in the palm of my hand. Strands of spiritual power emanated from it, flowing into my meridians, forming a thin layer on my body. Membrane, isolated from the magic energy.
We are back to the place where we met Li.Li was sitting in the corner of the wall, his broken left arm had already grown a section, and the dark halo gathered on the limb, little by little giving birth to the continued growth of the limb.The completely blank thread-bound ancient books were placed on the ground casually, the strange liquid on his face was wiped off, and the cloth strips torn from the hem of his clothes covered his empty eyes, making him the most familiar appearance again.
Hearing us coming back, Li raised his head abruptly, but did not ask any questions. The line of his lips under the bridge of his high nose was tightened into a straight line, full of sternness.
He must have noticed something.
Gu Chuan stood still in front of Li, and looked down at him condescendingly. The two had always been at odds with each other, but at this moment, I saw imperceptible compassion in Gu Chuan's eyes.
"She's dead."
Gu Chuan's plain voice did not cause any uproar, as if he had expected it long ago. Hearing the news of Bai Yuyi's death, the corners of his pale lips just twitched quickly, and then he suppressed it forcefully.
But I felt heart-piercing pain from his tiny and restrained movement.I raised my hand and pressed my chest hard, not to let the feeling of not belonging to me continue to ferment.
"The one who died should have been mine." Li said in a hoarse voice, "She was the one who led the demon over."
Gu Chuan hummed: "She did the right thing, at a critical moment, you are more valuable than her—"
"She's a good girl."
Li was noncommittal, and after a long silence, he asked in a low voice, "What did she leave for me?"
I immediately stepped forward, put the jade beads that Bai Yuyi gave me into Li's cold palm, and said softly: "This. She said that she can't repay your kindness, I hope you don't blame her."
Li held the jade beads tightly in his hands, and didn't speak. I saw that the black cloth strips he was blindfolded seemed to be soaked in liquid, and the gradually darkening patches were still expanding, but even so, his face was still Without the slightest expression.
I heard that Bai Yuyi was picked up by Li from the foot of Kunlun Mountain and raised by his side since childhood.Li, who had been alone for too long, gave her all she could, allowing her to grow rapidly from a little monster who had just transformed into the current lord.However, the company that has been inseparable for hundreds of years is completely shattered at this moment, leaving only a fragmented memory.
Gu Chuan was kind enough not to interrupt, leaving enough time for Li to digest the bad news.
I don't know why Mo just seriously injured Bai Yuyi and left, he could kill her and take the soul orb before we arrived.If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. I always feel very uneasy. My perception has not been retracted and I am always detecting the surroundings to prevent accidents from happening suddenly.
Li didn't keep us waiting, he solemnly put the jade beads into his pocket, took a deep breath, and made a hoarse voice like a snake from his torn throat:
"Please take me back, please."
Gu Chuan waved his hand to activate the magic weapon, and the small wooden carving quickly turned into a wheelchair. I bent down and hugged Li to it, straightened up and gently pressed my hands on the armrest.
Li's slender shoulders trembled slightly, and his fingers grasping the handrail were so hard that his veins burst out.I lowered my eyes, pretending not to see his loss of control.
The little butterfly he raised with all his heart finally flew away.
For the time being, instead of Bai Yuyi, I pushed the wheelchair for Li, and followed Gu Chuan out of the gate without a word. Purifying the magic energy bit by bit.
I cast my eyes into the distance, and the end of my sight is pale, and the faint skylight envelops the towering buildings from top to bottom, reflecting the silent silhouette.
Its daybreak.
Gu Chuan took Li to Jin Ning's place, but I didn't follow because I had important things to do today. The two of them discussed it and decided to let me wear the soul orb next to my body. After all, with Lin Jinyuan in my body, the devil would not dare Easy to provoke.
Back home with a heavy heart, instead of opening the door with the key, I raised my hand and knocked.
Liao Chi was about to go out. When he opened the door, it was me. His brows were slightly frowning, he stepped back to make way, and asked, "Didn't you bring the key?"
I shook my head and strode forward to hug him.
The emptiness in my arms was finally filled, I hugged the person in front of me even more tightly, I closed my eyes, I wanted to cry but my eyes were extremely dry.
The soul orb in the chest pocket of the shirt is close to me, and the warm temperature is transmitted to the skin through the thin material.There was a sudden throbbing pain in my heart, I frowned and hugged him even tighter.
I don't know why Lin Jinyuan didn't come out when Mingming gave me such a clear hint, until the end I could only pretend to be him to deceive Bai Yuyi.
"What's wrong?" Liao Chi asked in a low voice, stroking my back one after another.
I rubbed against the side of his neck and shook my head, miraculously calmed down under his comfort: "Something bad happened."
"Do you need to rest for a while?" Liao Chi must have smelled the blood on my body, but he didn't ask what happened - he knew that I didn't want him to continue to be involved.I took a deep breath until my nostrils were filled with the faint fragrance of his cologne.
"It's okay, I'll take a shower quickly, and then go to the airport." I rested my chin on his shoulder and raised my hand to look at my watch, sighing heavily: "Nothing is more important than parents."
With Liao Chi by my side, the sadness that belonged to Lin Jinyuan did not further affect me. I washed off the bloody smell on my body, changed into clean clothes, and sprayed some perfume on the pulse of my wrist.Looking at myself in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, I nodded in satisfaction, took the gift I bought for my parents, turned around and said to Liao Chi who was sitting on the sofa waiting for me: "Let's go."
The suppression caused by the demonic energy was too serious, coupled with the great sorrow of Bai Yuyi's disappearance, my heart was very fragile, and I was so tired that I fell asleep not long after boarding the plane.
I seem to have had a dream. In the dream, Lin Jinyuan was sitting on a seven-foot golden lotus platform, his brows and eyes darkened by his white clothes.There was a small butterfly resting on his fingertips. The breeze blew and blew the hem of his clothes. The translucent butterfly was startled by the wind and flew lightly around him.
The man on the rosette raised his eyes, and stared at me from a distance of thousands of hours.
His lips moved, as if to say something.
"Well……"
In the chaos, I only felt my chest was hot, and the skin seemed to be burnt. I gasped in pain, and woke up instantly. Before I could open my eyes, I hurriedly reached out to pick out the soul orb in my pocket.
In my sleep, Liao Chi covered me with a blanket, and when I moved the blanket slid down, which disturbed Liao Chi, who was looking out the window with his books on his knees.
"What's the matter?" He saw me frantically picking up the blanket and at the same time reached into my pocket and took out a blue bead. He hissed and quickly helped me take the blanket.
I put the hot soul beads on the blanket, blew two breaths into my red palms, and put it on my face to cool down.Liao Chi recognized at a glance that the bead was not an ordinary object, and immediately gathered the blanket to wrap the soul bead, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
I silently "fucked" and covered the glass with my hand, and finally felt that the layer of flesh that was about to be burned was more comfortable: "I'm burnt to death."
Liao Chi pushed one of my hands away, and frowned when he saw the red skin on the palm: "Go and ask if there is any burn ointment."
He got up and was about to call the stewardess, I hurriedly stopped him, urged the spiritual power to circulate in both hands, and after a while, the palms were as good as ever, and said with a smile: "Don't forget that I am not an ordinary person."
Liao Chi checked it over and over twice, and seeing that it was all right, he felt relieved, and touched the blanket to me: "What about this one?"
"I don't know." I couldn't figure out why the soul bead suddenly became hot, and there was no one to ask on the plane, so I could only cover it with a blanket.After a while, I lifted a corner of the blanket and touched it tentatively with my fingertips, and felt that it was not as hot as before.
After a few more minutes, I made sure that it had dropped to an acceptable temperature, so I picked it up again and looked at it carefully.
The bead is completely different from when I first received it from Bai Yuyi. It has become faintly transparent, and the azure liquid in it swirls and flows automatically, and there are sparkling things inside, which is very beautiful.Its aura has become extremely restrained, and if you don't look inside, you won't feel the fluctuation of spiritual power at all.
My intuition told me that the abnormality just now was related to my dream. I couldn't find any way to research it, so I could only put it back in my pocket.
It was about to land, and I didn't want to sleep anymore, so I put away the blanket and talked to Liao Chi for a while.Although he didn't show it obviously, I know that Liao Chi is still in serious anxiety that I'm afraid that I will fall asleep again. All I can do is to try my best to accompany him and let him come out slowly.
When I got off the plane and got in the car, I called my family and told them that they were coming soon.My mother was in such a panic that she had to come over to pick us up. I instinctively let Liao Chi see them like this would be very embarrassing, so I tried my best to refuse.
However, my arms couldn't hold my thighs, so I had no choice but to use my trump card, and acted like a spoiled child to my mother with the cheek.
Liao Chi almost laughed when he heard it, I reached out and pinched the driver's thigh secretly in a place where the driver couldn't see.With a burning face to coax my mother, I finally won a moment of respite. I hung up the phone and whispered in his ear, "What are you laughing at?"
"Laugh at your cuteness." Liao Chi touched my face and teased, "Why haven't you ever acted like a baby to me?"
"How? Let me yell at you?" I licked his palm, and said in a low voice, "While being coquettish and begging for a kiss... Hey, just thinking about it gives me goosebumps." .”
I rubbed the hairs on my arms while I was singing the national anthem. Liao Chi tried his best to restrain himself, and finally couldn't hold back his laughter.The two of us laughed for a long time, and the tension about meeting our parents was almost gone.
