C34 Three Days

"..."

Lo Qing stared blankly at the sword tip that pierced through his chest.

In the next instant, a violent Genuine Qi entered his wound and rampaged through Lo Qing's body. The intense pain caused her to feel dizzy.

Lo Qing forced his tottering body up and actually turned around with a smile.

It was a smile as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.

What was she smiling at? Hwa Tianji felt strange and quickly pulled out his sword to retreat. He thought that Lo Qing had something up his sleeve.

Lo Qing suddenly lost his balance and sat on the ground, coughing.

She only coughed a few times before she was interrupted by a mouthful of blood that she vomited. In the bright red color, one could vaguely see fragments of her internal organs.

The strong sense of withdrawal made Lo Qing clearly feel the loss of his life. She pressed the wound on her chest and coughed a few more times, then raised her gaze that she did not know how long it would last.

Hwa Tianji landed not far away from her and stood right in front of Liang Bozhong.

"Lo Qing, you have a lot of guts. You injured me and killed so many of my people, but you dare to say that you want to kill me?"

Lo Qing smiled and did not say anything.

"It seems that you don't have any last words. Then just die!"

As the Genuine Qi poured into the long sword, the long sword in Hwa Tianji's hand began to glow with sword light.

He raised the sword, but he did not swing it down.

Because...

"Luo Hong, what do you mean?"

Luo Hong appeared silently and blocked in front of Lo Qing.

"I just want to talk to her."

"Scram! If I don't kill her, it will be hard for me to vent the hatred in my heart!"

"You want to be my enemy?"

"You..." The Heavenly Sword Sect Master was so angry that he laughed, "Very good, Luo Hong! At first, I was wondering why you came to me to deal with the Heavenly Jade Palace, but now it seems to me that this is a trap, and I even stepped into it complacently. Who is your real partner?"

"I said I wanted to talk to her, so why is Sect Master Hua so tactless?" Luo Hong did not care about Hwa Tianji's venomous gaze and picked up Lo Qing." Compared to trying to figure out the ins and outs of this matter, Sect Master Hua might as well think about how to deal with the anger of the Heavenly Jade Palace. The Heavenly Jade Palace's young Martial Ancestor is not easy to deal with."

When Luo Hong said this, Hwa Tianji looked as if he had eaten sh * t, and his expression was extremely ugly.

"Alright, alright, alright!"

Hwa Tianji retracted his sword in anger and said the word'good' three times in a row, emphasizing each word.

"Luo Hong, I'll remember this."

"Up to you."

After saying that, Luo Hong carried Lo Qing and left the scene without looking back.

"You shouldn't have come."

Feeling Luo Hong's body temperature, Lo Qing said with a complicated tone.

"But I want to."

Lo Qing lowered his head and was speechless.

..." Do you really not regret it?"

Lo Qing shook his head slightly and Luo Hong said bitterly:

"They won't understand you."

"Young Martial Ancestor will..."

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because I want to believe it so much."

"Because I want to believe it so much. You shouldn't have believed it so much. You shouldn't have done it at the beginning."

"There are some things that are not a question of whether I should or not. It is a question of whether I want to or not." Lo Qing closed his eyes and said with a nostalgic tone.

Luo Hong did not say a word. After a while, he opened his mouth again:

..." even if I will die?"

"Even if it means death," Lo Qing said lightly, but his tone contained a firm will.

"What do you want?"

"After I die, bring my body back to San Gu Village and bury it... Hmm, it will be buried next to my mother."

"You should have returned to Heavenly Jade Palace."

"I... I can't get past myself."

"You're doing this for their own good!"

Luo Hong shouted excitedly, which stunned Lo Qing.

But then she smiled in relief. He was feeling sorry for her.

"You - "

After saying only one word, Lo Qing coughed again. This time, she coughed for a very long time, almost making people feel that if she continued to cough like this, her life would be over.

After the coughing calmed down a little, Lo Qing's tone was pleading as he said,

..." Help me pass down a sentence to my master."

She said it very urgently because she was afraid that she would not be able to finish speaking in time.

"Go ahead."

"Just say - "

Lo Qing's gaze was very far away, and that direction was where the Heavenly Jade Palace was.

"I'm sorry, I can't accompany you to look around anymore."

"Alright."

Lo Qing smiled and closed his eyes without saying anything else.

His palm, which had been pressing down on the wound, slowly slid down, and his arm powerlessly drooped down.

Opening her heavy eyelids, she woke up.

The dark wooden ceiling was reflected in her eyes, and when she moved her gaze slightly, she could see the white bed curtain with blue and white flower patterns embroidered on it.

'This is my room.' Xue Qilin's blurry consciousness gradually condensed, and then it felt that something was wrong. It was very heavy, and something was pressing down on her stomach.

She slightly propped up her upper body and looked into her chest. Her long black hair was spread out on the blanket, and her pretty face was right in front of her.

Her long eyelashes were slightly raised, her small nose moved along with her breathing, and her pink cherry lips were slightly parted. Her warm breath was almost visible, and most pleasing of all was her slightly flushed cheeks.

The owner of such an exquisite face was naturally Qi Qiqi. She was sleeping soundly, using the stomach of the Xue Qilin as a pillow.

Her gaze couldn't help but land on the ahoge on top of Qi Qiqi's head. The "7" ahoge was gently swaying.

"Why is Qi sleeping here?"

Xue Qilin asked softly as it fiddled with the ahoge.

"The Palace Lord has been by your side for the past few days."

Was that really the case? A feeling of unease spontaneously arose in her heart. The Snow Qilin gently pushed aside the few strands of hair that fell on Qi Qiqi's face.

Then, she looked at Qi Qiqi's crystal-clear nose and couldn't help but poke it lightly with her finger. She wrinkled her nose as if she had sensed something.

This was a little cute! The Snow Qilin could not help but poke it again.

"By the way, Zhen... Since you're here, can you greet me earlier? If it was anyone else, they would have scared you to death a long time ago."

..."Just be careful next time."

Xue Qilin nodded with satisfaction.

Suddenly, she noticed that her arm was still wrapped in white cloth, but it had already lost all color. The bleeding should have stopped a long time ago. The Snow Qilin moved its wrist, but it didn't feel any special pain. Perhaps it was because of the recovery ability of the body after the circulation of the true Qi returned to normal, but the discomfort caused by its injuries had decreased a lot.

It was too tired to maintain its half-raised posture. The Snow Qilin didn't want to wake Qi Qiqi up, so it decided to lie back on the bed.

She turned her head slightly to look at Ye Zhen, who was standing at the side wearing a black robe, and asked softly:

"How many days did I sleep?"

"It's already been three days."

"Is that so?" The Snow Qilin looked at the ceiling. "Speaking of which, you were the one who lured Hwa Tianji away, right?"

"Yes."

Ye Zhen said indifferently without any intention of taking credit.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Xue Qilin's face turned slightly red as he thanked Ye Zhen in an uncomfortable tone.

"Young Martial Ancestor is being too serious. It's what Ye Zhen should do."

"Thank you for your hard work, Qi - - "Xue Qilin suddenly thought of the green figure. "Oh right, where's Xiao Qing?"

Under normal circumstances, Lo Qing would have stayed by his side under such circumstances. It was a pity that the Xue Qilin had not seen her until now.

Had she gone to rest? The Xue Qilin felt inexplicably uneasy.

..."Nephew Luo hasn't returned to the palace yet."

"What?!"

The Snow Qilin completely forgot about Qi Qiqi, who was still dreaming on its stomach. It sat up in shock. Qi Qiqi's head suddenly slipped off her stomach, and then...

Dong!

"It hurts!"

Qi Qiqi rubbed her forehead as she looked at Xue Qilin with her bright red eyes that were filled with tears.

"You bastard, can't you call me before you get up?!"

The Xue Qilin scratched its head in embarrassment and laughed dryly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I wasn't paying attention."

"You did it on purpose! Bastard! I even took care of you for a few days!"

Qi Qiqi was furious as she blamed Xue Qilin.

Perhaps it was because he couldn't stand it anymore, Ye Zhen finally spoke up for the Snow Qilin.

"Palace Lord, this is not the fault of the Young Grand Master. She only heard that Martial Nephew Luo has not returned to the palace and was too shocked to notice you."

Ye Zhen's voice caused Qi Qiqi's shoulder to tremble violently. She turned her head stiffly and found it hard to express her emotions the moment she saw Ye Zhen.

"So Martial Uncle is also here..."

"I've been here for a long time. I was just about to check on the situation, but when I saw that the young martial master had woken up, I decided to have a small chat with him."

"This..." Qi Qiqi shrunk her body and continued to say with shame, "You don't have to explain to me."

Ye Zhen was taken aback for a moment before revealing a bitter smile.

"Didn't the Palace Lord just say that I won't explain it to you? Don't you understand?"

"S-sure..."

When the Snow Qilin saw Qi Qiqi's face turn redder and redder, it couldn't help but think to itself, Qi's skin is really thin.

Then, the two of them fell silent at the same time. The atmosphere was a little awkward.

The Snow Qilin looked at Qi Qiqi with a strange expression. It saw that she seemed to be biting her lower lip, as if she was very embarrassed. Then, she looked at Ye Zhen and noticed that his expression was rather strange. It was as if he had accidentally stumbled upon some awkward situation and was too embarrassed to make a sound.

It was as if her father had walked into his daughter's room as usual and found his daughter changing her clothes, causing her to feel extremely awkward.

The Snow Qilin found it funny. At the same time, it wondered if something had happened between the two of them.
