Morning Star

Chapter 398 You Go Back

Chujiu was shaking all over, trying to keep himself calm. After groping for a while, he finally took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a few high-quality healing pills, and slowly fed them into his mouth.

"Xingxing, you're going to be okay, right?"

She gently wiped the blood from his chin and neck with her sleeve, lowered her eyes and murmured with the corners of her lips pulled.

"We agreed that we would get married after this. We still have many places to go..."

Mo Xinglan's lips trembled and his voice was weak: "Take me... to... the plum... plum tree..."

"it is good."

She carefully picked him up, walked to the old plum tree, and gently put him down to lean against the trunk.

Then he held one of his hands and used his own spiritual energy to heal him.

Mo Xinglan moved his hands to pull them out, but he was too weak to do so. He spoke incoherently, "That's enough... don't... waste your energy..."

"It's useful. What you taught me is useful." She seemed to be talking to him and to herself at the same time.

He slowly raised his eyes and chuckled, "Jiuer... I... I can't wait... to get... married... Sorry... I have to... break my promise this time."

The demonic energy and spiritual energy in his body have been exhausted, and he can't even feel the power of the demon god. If it were just like this, he would only need to recuperate for a period of time and he would get better. But now he has been hit by the bone curse, and he is seriously injured and his soul is also hurt.

Although he can hold on for a while due to his special physique, it is only a matter of time.

Just before that...

He looked at the worried girl in front of him, and the desire to keep her by his side became stronger and stronger.

Chujiu was stunned for a moment after hearing his words, and held his hands with both hands, rubbing them against his forehead: "I can wait for it. You can't break your promise. I don't want you to die, you can't leave me alone, you promised me... Woo..."

"..."

His heart ached, and he couldn't bear to see her like this. He raised his eyes and glanced at the sky which was gradually becoming unclear.

If this continued, the next wave would come soon. But he could no longer protect her.

His lips trembled: "I won't...I won't leave you."

Chujiu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, thinking that he was hallucinating, but soon realized that he really said that, and his eyes lit up: "So, you won't die, right?"

She said, Xingxing’s medical skills are so great, there must be a way to save himself.

However, a chuckle soon broke her fantasy.

"I mean, we...die together."

“……” She stared at him blankly, unable to speak for a long time.

Mo Xinglan felt a pain in his heart when he saw the look of astonishment on her face, and he chuckled to himself.

She is so afraid of death, how could she be willing to die with him?

But even if he didn't kill her, she would still die if she stayed here, and it would be a very painful death.

and so……

He pulled out her hand and held her snow-white neck.

At this moment, he once again felt how thin her neck was, as if it would break if he squeezed it lightly.

Gradually, he put more force on his hands, but there was a bitter and cruel smile on his lips: "You are so afraid of pain, instead of letting you suffer the torture of pain, it is better to give you a quick death. Anyway, I am going to die. This way, even if we die, we can die together, right?"

Chujiu's curled eyelashes trembled, and she slowly closed her eyes. Tears slid down her pale face, but there was a smile on the corners of her mouth.

He was right. Since they were going to die anyway, why didn't she die with him? This would be a perfect ending, wouldn't it?

"..."

Looking at the smile on her lips, Mo Xinglan paused with his strength in his hands and his eyes were a little dazed.

Isn't she afraid of death? Why, why doesn't she resist?

He gradually lowered his eyes, and his sight accidentally swept across the string of beads on his wrist.

It was the reward she and he won together on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. The white jade stars on it were made by her herself and she gave it to him after stringing them together with the spiritual beads.

All the past events came back to me bit by bit, all with her voice and face.

"It's safer to stay with you."

"I once heard a saying, the sky will always be bright, even without the sun. Mo Xinglan, the sky will be bright, it will definitely be bright."

"I am afraid of death and pain, but some things are more important than life. In fact, sometimes the pain in the heart is far more severe than the pain in the body. If I have to endure one, I would rather have the pain in the body."

"That's because there's no one in this world who's worth my life, so of course I have to live well."

"Mo Xinglan, I like you."

"Xingxing, I like you. I like you more today than yesterday."

"Xingxing, I like looking at you and talking to you..."

"Star Beauty, I will be responsible for you."

"When this war is over, we will..."

Suddenly, Zhan Kongming's words echoed in his ears.

"My boy, loving someone doesn't mean locking her up by your side, but setting her free. Tying her up for too long will only make her sad."

The pulse beating in his palm told him that she was still alive.

He seemed to understand what Zhan Kongming said.

She still has her own world, and he shouldn't be so selfish as to imprison her by his side and take away everything from her.

She once said that she was not his property.

Yes, she loves freedom so much, even if she is willing to stay with him, she must be unhappy in her heart.

Gradually, he loosened his hands and let them fall to his sides.

Chujiu regained air and his body instinctively took deep breaths.

She coughed a few times and looked up at him in confusion: "Stars?"

"You go back." He tilted his head with a somewhat empty look in his eyes, but his voice was very soft.

Chujiu's heart trembled: "Go back? Where do you want me to go back to?"

He is here, where can she go?

"Since..." After a pause, Mo Xinglan frowned and his body began to hurt again.

He slowly swallowed the blood in his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "Where I came from... I'm going back... to where I'm going."

Chujiu's body froze and she stared at him blankly, tears streaming down her face like an abandoned animal. Her lips trembled as she said, "You...you don't want me anymore?"

Afraid that he would drive her away, she moved her body. She held his hand in her palm, choked with sobs and shook her head: "Wu... I won't leave... I won't leave..."

"Stars...Stars, please look at me. I won't leave. I won't leave..."

She cried and moved her body to kneel in front of him without caring about anything, lying on him like a spoiled child: "Wu... please don't leave me, don't chase me away, Xingxing, I like you, I like you so much... Xingxing... please don't chase me away, okay... Wu... I won't leave..."

"..."

He turned his head away, enduring the pain, not daring to look at her, for fear that his selfish thoughts would ruin her future.

But every word she said sank into his heart, and he could no longer ask her to leave.

He pulled the corners of his mouth to reveal a smile, but it ended up turning into a bitter smile.

"Feel sorry……"

Crystal tears flowed down the pale cheek and fell on the girl's cheek.

"Mo Xinglan's favorability is 100."

Chujiu paused crying and ignored Piaomiao's voice. Instead, she raised her eyes to look at him. Suddenly, her tears flowed faster: "Xingxing... Xingxing..."

Before he could finish his next words, he felt dizzy and his body sank.

When I opened my eyes again, my soul had left my body.

Mo Xinglan noticed her change and smiled bitterly, tears dripping down the cheeks of the person in his arms. Bright red blood kept flowing out from the corners of her mouth.

I closed my eyes tiredly and let the tears fall from the corners of my eyes.

The severe pain caused by the shattered soul and body made his consciousness sometimes clear and sometimes blurred.

In his mind was the entire past decade or so, from having only his mother to having only hatred, and from having only her to having nothing now.

Irregular strands of light blue threads gradually appeared on Mo Xinglan's exposed hands, neck, and cheeks, like broken ceramics.

Chujiu's pupils constricted as she looked in disbelief at the increasingly obvious marks of fractures on Mo Xinglan's face and neck, but she couldn't cry.

Even if you shout at him loudly, he can't hear you.

“Piao Miao! Piao Miao! Come out here! I won’t leave! Come out here! I said I won’t leave!”

Chujiu shouted into the air.

After a while, a white light flashed in front of my eyes, and gradually a figure took shape.

I couldn't see her face clearly, but from her figure I could tell she was a woman.

"Wasn't your original intention to complete the mission and go home? Now you're not going home because of him?"

From the cold voice, it can be judged that this person is Piao Miao.

"You still have your family, your friends, and your future. You don't have to stay alone for him. And once you decide to stay in this world, your body in your original world will slowly lose its vitality."

Chujiu tried to calm herself down, looking at Mo Xinglan who was about to break: "But he only has me."

Piao Miao came to Mo Xinglan and squatted down, seemingly checking him out, then stood up and shook his head: "His spiritual energy and demonic energy are exhausted, he is cursed with bones, his soul is shattered, and he is seriously injured. Nothing inside or outside is intact. Do you see these broken marks on his body? Although I don't know what caused it, I am sure he won't live long, and death is only a matter of time."

Chujiu was not surprised after hearing this, not only because of the broken marks on his body, but also because he wanted to kill her before, how could she not see it.

"Besides..." At this time, Piao Miao raised his head and looked at the gradually blurry sky. "This ancient formation is extremely powerful. It contains not only spiritual energy but also other powers. It contains ancient secrets that specifically damage the soul, but it can also cause damage to the body. It is specifically designed to counter people with strong souls like him. In his current condition, if another one falls on him, he won't have to wait for death to slowly come, because he will dissipate immediately."

After hearing this, Chujiu's eyes trembled and he looked up into the sky.

An ancient formation designed to defeat him...

Her eyes were cold and she clenched her hands tightly at her sides.

Mo Hengsong, she would never let him die so easily.

While Chujiu was thinking, a piece of white skin on Mo Xinglan's face turned into tiny stars and dissipated in the air along with traces of light blue shattered.

And under the shattered skin there was no blood, but rather flying spots of light blue light.

Chujiu's pupils shrank, and he turned his head sharply to look at Piaomiao and said anxiously: "You must have a way to save him, right?"

Piaomiao could immediately see the extent of Xingxing's injuries, and could also tell at a glance that this was an ancient formation and its function, so there must be a way.

She felt that Piaomiao was not a simple person, perhaps he was a powerful being from some other world.

She might not have thought of it before, but now that she has experienced so much, she thinks no matter how outrageous the things that happen are reasonable.

Of course, these are just her guesses and her only hope.

Piao Miao was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, there is, but it can only prolong his life temporarily. It cannot heal the injuries on his body and soul, nor can it remove the bone curse. Once the bone curse takes effect, he will die if he can't hold on. And I have conditions."

"What conditions?"

Even if it can only extend the time, it's good. She also said that Xingxing will die if it can't hold on, and she believes that Xingxing will definitely be able to hold on. It must be possible.

"One day in the future when God's Realm needs you, you must help God's Realm." Piaomiao no longer concealed it.

Chujiu was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and felt that he could figure it out: "Okay."

"Don't you think about it?" Piao Miao couldn't believe that she answered so quickly.

"No need, save people quickly."

Her stars are broken, why bother considering it?
