Chapter 631 Save Him
Chapter 631 Save Him
"Junior brother, they're all gone... It's alright, it's alright. Zhenfeng still has you, still has me, we can always hold on..."
"...Save me, Ayou, please, save me...Why is it just us? Why are we the only ones left...?"
"Senior sister, where did you go? I've been looking for you so hard I'm going crazy! Please don't just leave without a word again, okay? At least tell me where you're going so I can go with you!"
"Don't worry, junior brother, I'm just looking for a way for us all to survive."
"You lied to me, senior sister! You lied to me again! We promised to live together, we promised!"
"...I'm sorry, Ayou, please forgive me..."
"Junior brother, don't you feel like we're living in a giant spinning wheel, constantly repeating the same moment...? I always feel like I've been here many times, witnessed the falling of the Spirit Sea Flowers countless times. Isn't it funny that I have such a delusion..."
"Senior sister, flowers will bloom again."
"Yes, flowers always bloom again..."
"This spirit pearl is for you."
"What are you doing! What do you want to do! Are you crazy? Xu Youan, tell me, are you really crazy?"
"I'm not crazy, senior sister, I have to do this."
"...I'm sorry, Ayou, I'm so sorry..."
"Senior sister, how many times has this happened? Do you know how many times I've held your cold body, watching your blood slowly soak through my hands—but it's okay, it's okay, senior sister, I've found a way to save you. Wait for me, wait for me, I will save you, I promise."
"Ayou, where are you going?"
"I'm sorry, senior sister, I have to go on a long trip."
"I never see you, Junior Brother Xu. Why do you always seem to be running off outside the sect?"
"I'm looking for something very important. I'm sorry, senior sister, I have to go again."
"Hey, junior brother of Zhenfeng, you can't slack off in your cultivation, come here!"
"I'm sorry, senior sister, I'll come back to accept my punishment!"
【"Who are you?"
"My name is Xu Youan."
"What? Xu, Xu, what are you...what are you doing here..."
"I've come here looking for someone, Senior Sister."
Inside the cave on the volcano, bathed in a warm, flickering light, the boy gazed sorrowfully at the unconscious girl, tears welling in his eyes. He murmured apologies repeatedly, his broken voice fading away in the night wind: "I'm sorry, Senior Sister, I'm so sorry..."
"Forgive my selfishness..."
"Forgive my greed..."
"This is my last life, let me look at you one more time, just one more time..."
"sorry."
"sorry."
"Sorry……"
Beneath the fluttering red silk, a young man in red robes and with black hair, holding the golden spirit pearl he had carefully protected for many, many years, knelt on the ground, exhausted, and cried like a helpless child.
Sunlight gradually fell upon his cold body, making him appear transparent, as if blurred in the interplay of light and shadow.
Just as he was about to disappear completely, he suddenly looked up, his red and sorrowful eyes filled with the starry night sky, gazing at her location. It was as if he had pierced through the ages in an instant, and a sad yet joyful smile bloomed on his face.
He said, "Senior sister, may you live a thousand years, ten thousand years, without worry."

The red veil she was clutching in her hand fluttered down and fell to the ground, covered by layers of dust accumulated over the years. Jiang Liqian looked up at the bright sunlight and suddenly felt dizzy. As if she had lost all her vitality, she collapsed to her knees, utterly exhausted.
The world before my eyes began to change, distort, recombine, and then return to its original form.
Memories from before the alteration flooded her consciousness like a tidal wave. She blinked, and scalding tears streamed down her cheeks, shattering on the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl with a "bang."
After a very long time, the belated pain finally filled her heart, as if ice had suddenly shattered, and she finally collapsed to the ground and wailed.
The cries were mournful and piercing, and in an instant they overflowed from the small courtyard, spreading throughout the world.
There were footsteps behind me.
She cried and asked, "Will he ever come back?"
The girl in black, with her curtains drawn, walked up to her and offered her a handkerchief with a pitying look in her eyes.
He wouldn't want you to cry so sadly.
Will he ever come back?
"He had already lost his soul, and he sacrificed everything he had to the Heavenly Dao. He will never come back."
"You're lying to me, aren't you? You're lying..."
"He was willing to die for you, that's all."
Jiang Liqian broke down in tears. She couldn't accept this outcome; she couldn't accept him leaving her.
How could she lose him?
She has lost so many people, but only him, only him, promised to stay by her side forever, promised!
It was all a lie.
It turns out that all his apologies were lies!
She turned her head and glared fiercely at the girl in black, her collapsing emotions tearing at the last vestige of her reason: "Who are you? What gives you the right to say he can't come back!"
The girl closed her eyes, as if she saw her former self reflected in her. Her voice was cold yet contained a hint of reluctance: "My name is Xuan Yue, and I am his contracted divine beast."
"You're talking nonsense!" Jiang Liqian stood up and shouted angrily, "It's his contracted divine beast, so why did he disappear while you're completely unharmed? You bunch of liars, you're all trying to deceive me!"
"What right do you have! What right do you have!"
The girl, unable to bear seeing her continue to be sad, awkwardly prepared to comfort her, but before she could even move, she keenly sensed something was wrong. She frowned, took her hand, and said, "Calm down, don't..."
"Let me go, you liar!" Jiang Liqian couldn't hear anything anymore, she didn't want to hear any sound. She only felt so sad and so angry. Overwhelming despair engulfed her, and she couldn't find a way to escape.
She has nothing left, she really has nothing left...
No, no, no, there's still a chance! Master, Master can definitely save him. He knows everything, he can definitely save Junior Brother!
As if suddenly grasping at a straw, Jiang Liqian shoved the girl in black aside and staggered toward the door.
Pushing open the courtyard gate, she saw the ground covered with fallen autumn leaves. Following the shadows on the ground, she looked up and, as if seeing a savior, knelt down heavily.
"Master, please save him, please save him..."
"I'll do anything you want, Senior Sister. A marriage alliance, or even dying for the sake of the common people, becoming your pawn—I'll do anything, anything at all. I just beg you, please, save him, save him..."
