Mu Qingyan firmly grasped the hilt of the knife inserted into his chest and cursed angrily: "Nonsense, of course I am not Mu Zhengyang, and Zhao Zhao is not her aunt! Wake up. If you really kill Zhao Zhao, what will happen to you in the future? Meet Cai Pingshu!"
Qi Yunke staggered back, the blood in his chest surged, the internal energy in his Dantian was raging, and the meridians around his body were about to burst.
He controlled his mind, which was almost in chaos, and kept slapping the sky indiscriminately. The gravel fell one after another, and the entire white marble underground palace was shaken by his blows.
Qi Yunke knew that he had gone crazy.
In the chaos, he searched all over the place and saw Qi Lingbo who was still in a coma. He only had one thought in his mind: by sucking his daughter dry, he would be able to break through to the third heaven and everything could be restored, so he stumbled towards Qi Lingbo.
Cai Zhao guessed his thoughts, broke free from the long rope wrapped around his body, and rushed towards him against the rain of falling stones.
Mu Qingyan covered the wound with one hand and grabbed Cai Zhao with the other, "Don't go, Zhao Zhao, he has gone crazy. Even if he sucks Qi Lingbo dry, he won't be able to save him!"
Cai Zhao shook him off resolutely: "We can't just sit back and watch innocent people being harmed!"
Qi Yunke grabbed Qi Lingbo and just put his palm on his daughter's forehead. Cai Zhao rushed over and hugged his arm. Qi Yunke waved her away. Cai Zhao was also seriously injured at this time, so he could only pounce on him again without any method. When he pounced at Qi Yunke's feet, she shouted hoarsely.
"Master, please think about your aunt, she won't want you to do such a thing!"
"Master, please think about your aunt!"
Qi Yunke was stunned, his thoughts scattered, and then he slowly let go of Qi Lingbo.
Waves of sharp pain came over his body, and he knew that his meridians were beginning to burst one by one. The inner energy that had reached the transformation state was scrambling to escape from his Dantian, and his heart felt empty - he slumped down and then lay on his back.
Why is Zhaozhao also against him? He just wanted to avenge Pingshu.
The demon sect Beichen was all turned into powder, and then in a clean and clear world again, Zhao Zhao and Yu Zhi reestablished their sect, had children, and grew old together.
Qi Yunke felt dizzy, and the nightmare that had appeared countless times in the middle of the night came to mind again.
The light and shadow rotated, and a huge door glowing with blood opened. Behind each door was a murderer who killed Ping Shu, Yin Dai, Yang Yi, Yin Qinglian, and the demon sect's surname Mu. He eliminated them all one by one.
But why is there a door in the deepest part of the palace?
With his heart beating wildly, he slowly opened the door and his breathing stopped for a moment.
It was himself inside.
Qi Yunke lay on his back, tears rolling down his face, and murmured: "We agreed that we would be upright knights together and turn the tide, but I didn't keep my promise..."
He was fascinated by the heavenly beauty of the Yin family, by the overwhelming power that Yin Dai promised, by vanity and sweet words, and completely forgot about his original oath.
Cai Pingshu saw it, but she didn't say anything and went up to Tushan alone.
He suddenly woke up, sober for the first time in years.
It turned out that he had been ill for more than ten years.
After Cai Pingshu became a cripple, he suffered from a disease that seemed sober but was actually crazy.
However, no matter how many evil and evil things he did, he could not save Cai Pingshu's life, nor could he get back those days of his youth that were more precious than gold.
"Zhaozhao." Qi Yunke suddenly spoke with an unusually soft tone, "You can marry whoever you want in the future. As long as you are happy every day, that's better than anything else."
Cai Zhao lay dumbly in the rubble.
"And the one named Mu..." Qi Yunke continued, "It turns out that not all people named Mu are thieves and heartless people."
Mu Qingyan secretly scolded the old dog thief for being stupid, and stupidly pulled away the long rope wrapped around his body with one hand.
"Also." Qi Yunke hesitated, "Bury me in the future..."
Before he finished speaking, the largest stone beam supporting the dome broke and fell straight down. The entire circular palace quickly collapsed and shattered like paper. Mu Qingyan endured the severe pain in his chest and rushed over to pull Cai Zhao out of danger.
Along with this circular dome underground palace, the Double Lotus Pool Palace was built on top of it. Broken pillars, jade steps, silk jewellery, and raindrops of broken tiles and bricks kept collapsing and falling, overwhelming the sky like an unprecedented flood, and the tiny humans could only struggle to escape.
After a long time, the falling rocks finally stopped, the dome above their heads broke open, bright sunlight fell, and the strong smell of blood could not block the smell of lake water that came with the wind. Everyone felt like they were in another world.
Cai Zhao emerged from the rubble, with the unconscious Mu Qingyan next to him.
When the boulder fell just now, he held the girl tightly in his arms. She was not hit or squeezed in any way, but Mu Qingyan was hit by countless falling rocks, causing more injuries.
Cai Zhao was frightened in his heart, holding Mu Qingyan's broad shoulders and shouting randomly, tapping and tapping the acupoints on his body.
The pale young man finally woke up, his lips slightly opened, but no sound came out.
Over there, Shangguan Haonan woke up first, and Yang Xiaolan helped him dig You Guanyue out of the rubble.
You Guanyue was motionless, and his injuries were obviously not serious. Shangguan Haonan slapped him left and right, but he never woke up.
Yang Xiaolan understood what had happened, and without saying a word, she immediately went to Lei Xiuming and Fan Xing's house despite her injuries. Shangguan Haonan lay on You Guanyue's body and cried loudly——
"Moon, you can't just die like this. We promised to have children in the future, but your children haven't even been born yet! Oh, oh, oh, oh, you just blamed me for being too slow, and you got smashed trying to save me. How can I repay this kindness if I am half dead! Don’t worry, if you really leave like this, I will definitely take good care of Xing’er for you! The position of my fourth wife is still vacant. I originally wanted to leave it to Qiu Cuilan , make a neat fight! But now I am determined to give this last title to Xing'er, for no reason, just for our brotherhood... Wuwuwu... Don't worry, I will take good care of Xing'er in the future!"
"Go to hell!" A weak voice said.
Shangguan Haonan raised his head in confusion, with a mess of hair on his head, "Moon, are you talking, are you thanking me? My brothers don't need to thank me."
You Guanyue used all her strength, "Go to hell! Who wants to thank you!"
Shangguan Haonan wiped his face with saliva and cried with joy.
Cai Zhao was originally in tears, but he couldn't help but let out a sigh when he saw this pair of living treasures. She noticed the movement of the young man in her arms, and quickly lowered her head and called, "What are you talking about? Please speak louder, I can't hear you clearly."
"I said." Mu Qingyan was so angry that he tried his best to say, "Shut up those two idiots and stop embarrassing yourself!"
Cai Zhao burst into laughter and hugged him tightly: "Is this the first thing you said to me when you escaped from death?"
Mu Qingyan also laughed. He thought for a moment and said, "No, I have a lot to say to you."
"You tell me, I'm listening." Cai Zhao hugged him and leaned against the boulder pile. Both of them were seriously injured and had difficulty moving, so they simply cuddled in place and waited for Lei Xiuming and Fan Xing's family to bring people to rescue them.
Mu Qingyan said softly: "I have always felt that the day when you and I met was unlucky. Not to mention the solemn killing in the middle of winter, it was still before the ceremony to pay homage to the dead..."
"What a dead person? That's your ancestor Beichen."
"I don't know him, don't interrupt - it's just because you and I didn't get to know each other on a bad day, so there were a lot of difficulties along the way. In order to make things smooth in the future, we should have a happy event."
Cai Zhao held back his laughter and said deliberately: "What a happy event, a housewarming."
I originally thought that Master Mu Da would be very angry, but unexpectedly he has developed some self-control these days. He laughed: "Okay, you move to Busi Zhai, or I will move to Luoying Valley. What does Xiao Cai heroine say?"
Cai Zhao saw that his voice was stagnant and he knew that he was seriously injured.
She thought for a while and said: "Xiao Cai Nvxia thinks that this matter is feasible."
"Is it feasible?" Mu Qingyan was a little unconvinced.
"Yeah, it's feasible." The girl put her cheek against his pale forehead covered with blood, and suddenly felt enlightened, "As long as we can be in one place, anything is fine."
Chapter 140
The fire burned for three days and three nights, and the beautiful Twin Lotus Pool Palace was burned to the ground. The boundless power and illustrious reputation that Yin Dai had spent his whole life building were burned to the ground just like the collapse of this gorgeous palace. And the Yin family's influence on the martial arts that lasted for more than thirty years also disappeared like a dream with this collapse.
Once the common enemy disappears, the Apostate Cult members and the remaining Beichen survivors will involuntarily confront each other like natural enemies.
Cai Zhao kindly suggested that Mu Qingyan and others go down the mountain first. When Mu Qingyan asked her, Cai Zhao simply said that he wanted to dig out his master's body before returning to Luoying Valley.
Mu Qingyan caught a glimpse of Song Yuzhi, who was holding two swords and supporting his seriously injured body, looking around at the rubble. He seemed to have the same intention, so he said displeasedly: "With such a large area of ruins, we have to dig out Qi Yunke's bones from underneath." We have been talking for several days, are you looking for an excuse to send me away first?"
Cai Zhao glared: "Be reasonable. If I don't keep an eye on them, what should I do if they want to use Master's body to humiliate and vent their anger?" Qi Yunke is still her aunt's sworn brother, and she can't just sit back and watch something like this happen.
Mu Qingyan sneered again and again: "We agreed to stay together for the rest of our lives, but your sweet words are still in my ears, but you can change your mind faster than falling out. You want to bury Qi Yunke's body, why don't you ask me for help? Could it be that these broken stones are rotten The wood also recognizes its owner, and you have to look for it yourself!"
"Incomprehensible!"
Cai Zhao was so angry that he refused to talk to this lunatic again until he rested at night.
At night, she slept in Chun Ling's small house. Mu Qingyan occupied the outside room unceremoniously despite everyone's suspicious eyes. Late at night, he still heard Cai Zhao tossing and turning, so he stepped in wearing his pajamas, lifted the girl's quilt, lay down in and hugged her.
Cai Zhao smelled the strong smell of medicine on his body. The young man's hard chest and strong shoulders were covered with layers of fine cloth. Underneath was the brown ointment that Lei Xiuming had just applied to him in the afternoon. She has been accustomed to smelling the smell of medicine since she was a child, and it feels like she has returned to her childhood, when she was a little girl and got into her aunt's bed at night, which was filled with the scent of medicine.
She relaxed her tense spirit and muscles.
Mu Qingyan touched her messy hair, which was soft and fluffy, and said lovingly: "You look like a little kitten that has just been beaten. Your hair is bald and you are still showing your teeth. I will call down and send two attentive maids up tomorrow." .”
Cai Zhao nuzzled into his arms and muttered: "The little kitten doesn't need a maid, just lick it twice and it'll be fine."
Mu Qingyan kissed the girl's forehead, "Didn't you say I was unreasonable?"
Cai Zhaowan seemed to have given up, "I also said many times that we would never meet again, but what happened next? Now no one in the world thinks we are innocent. Alas, my aunt said that when walking in the world, the most important thing is that a gentleman's words are hard to follow. , If she knew about my repeated virtues, I don’t know how to laugh at her."
Mu Qingyan comforted the girl: "Don't worry, not many people know about our dispute. We can pretend that we have never been separated, and everyone in the world will think that we are always in love with each other until death."
Cai Zhao stretched out his thin arms from under the quilt and hugged him. He put his cheek against the fine cloth on his chest and rubbed it, "Brother Ayan."
"Um."
"We will quarrel again in the future."
"I guess so."
"Don't take my words seriously. We were separated several times before. In fact, I feel very uncomfortable. Even if I return to Luoying Valley, nothing I eat will taste good."
"……I know."
Mu Qingyan closed his arms and hugged the soft body in his arms tightly. His palms penetrated along her spine. Under his fingers were the soft girl's skin and several faint whip marks across her slender back. The old wounds were hideous, in stark contrast to the tender skin.
His fingertips trembled slightly as he touched it, "I want to tell you something."
"oh."
"That day when you were tortured at Taichu, I know that in your heart, you regarded that torture as a decisive move to break up with me. But in my heart, it was just the opposite."
Cai Zhao raised her head with doubts in her eyes: "Huh?" With a conscience, she was afraid that she would not be able to sever her relationship with Mu Qingyan, so she risked her life to endure the punishment, just hoping that the heavy punishment according to the sect would punish her. Wake up and pull back.
Mu Qingyan touched the girl's cheek and continued talking to herself: "I know you can't let me go, and I also know your determination. After I waded back through the water, I thought countless times that it would be better to just forget it. After all, you and I are not on the same journey. However, when I dreamed about it at midnight, I saw you covered in blood, and I knew I had no way to escape."
Cai Zhao's eyes heated up and she buried herself in his arms: "I don't want to be separated from you, but I'm not willing to give up everything and follow you."
"I know, I know everything." The man sighed.
The next morning, Cai Zhao woke up in a very warm place, as if he was wrapped in a warm quilt. She looked up and saw Mu Qingyan's rare confused expression, and his voice was still a little hoarse after waking up.
"Do you want to tickle me to death?" He smiled lowly and grabbed the girl's little hand from behind.
It was cold in the mountains, there was a lot of fighting last night and no fire was made in the house, so he pulled up the quilt and wrapped the girl tightly in it, rubbed her hair and said vaguely: "...There is nothing in this poor place now, so let's go down the mountain first. .”
Cai Zhao kicked him with his little foot and said, "Go away quickly. Why are you lying on my bed like this? I don't want my reputation anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud voice coming from outside the door. It was Cai Zhao's old uncle, Zen Master Juexing. He stepped into Chunling Xiaozhu shouting, "Zhao Zhao, get up, I want your mother to watch you. You can only take medicine after breakfast, little girl, don’t be so sleepy..."
