Chapter 52 Live Well for Me
As the strongest race on the Cangling Continent, Ao Shuang has seen many powerful individuals.
Although she could feel fear in front of those powerful figures, that fear gradually faded as her cultivation improved.
But the oppressive aura emanating from the young man before her was something she had never seen in a thousand years.
In that brief instant, he seemed to have taken control of the laws of heaven and earth, or rather, he became the laws of heaven and earth themselves!
The surroundings were completely silent, as if time and space had been frozen.
He was the only one who could move in the entire space.
Faced with this terrifying pressure, she didn't even feel fear. Fear is something she could still feel, something she still had emotions, but now she felt as if she and time itself had been frozen, and she couldn't feel a single emotion.
Ao Shuang didn't understand, much less comprehend.
This kid is only at the Golden Core stage, so how come he can unleash such terrifying power that even the Nascent Soul stage cannot resist?
What kind of incredible trump card is this?
She didn't even have the slightest thought of resisting.
Cheng Xiao didn't look at the dragons who were frozen in place, but turned to look at Long Yingxue behind him, who was showing shock.
"What's going on?" Long Yingxue stared blankly at Cheng Xiao.
She knew the boy had many secrets, and even more secrets she didn't know about.
The reason I was able to recover so quickly was entirely due to the spiritual energy I absorbed from him.
Although Long Yingxue was curious, she never asked any questions.
She just hadn't expected Cheng Xiao's trump card to be so amazing!
Even Nascent Soul stage experts are no match for him!
"So your name is Ao Xue? But I still think Long Yingxue sounds better. Your previous name was a bit old-fashioned." Cheng Xiao's tone was relaxed, and there was even a hint of a smile in his eyes.
The situation was clearly under control, but Long Yingxue was not happy at all.
Because she saw two words in Cheng Xiao's seemingly relaxed eyes.
Resolute.
He seemed to have completely given up hope of living.
Long Yingxue wanted to tell Cheng Xiao that they should run away together, but she found that she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Everything around us has been frozen since just now.
"This is my last trump card. It can only hold them off for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. That's not enough time for the two of us to run. They'll catch up soon." Cheng Xiao's voice, which was originally calm, now carried a hint of urgency.
He pretended to pull out a piece of ancient jade full of cracks from his pocket, and then stuffed the jade into Long Yingxue's hand.
The luster on the ancient jade is fading, as if it will shatter at any moment.
"This is a random one-way teleportation array, but it can only teleport one person at a time. I tampered with it so they couldn't find you. I originally intended to use it to save my life, but now it's perfect for you," Cheng Xiao explained.
Long Yingxue instantly understood Cheng Xiao's meaning.
She screamed in her heart, saying she didn't want to leave, that she didn't want to live alone.
But it couldn't make a sound at all.
She could only watch as Cheng Xiao placed the ancient jade into her hands.
Long Yingxue recalled how cold-blooded and cruel he was when they first met, saying that their relationship was all a transaction.
But later she discovered that it was all Cheng Xiao's disguise.
He was actually very awkward.
Just like now, even though it's clearly a transaction, they're giving themselves the chance to live.
Long Yingxue didn't want it to be like this.
As if he could hear Long Yingxue's inner monologue, Cheng Xiao reached out and gently stroked her soft, white hair.
There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
"Listen to me," Cheng Xiao said softly.
After he finished speaking, he began to pour spiritual energy into the ancient jade that was about to shatter.
He looked into Long Yingxue's golden vertical pupils and said as if giving his last instructions, "Thank you for helping me avenge the Cheng family's blood feud. These past sixteen years have been the happiest I've ever had. I thought this kind of life would last forever, but now it seems that ordinary happiness is not suitable for people like us. We are born to carry hatred on our shoulders and keep moving forward. Forget about me in the future, and don't go back to seek revenge. Just live your life well."
Long Yingxue was crying her heart out, but not a single tear could fall, and she couldn't make a sound.
She wanted to beg Cheng Xiao not to abandon her. She would rather die here than live alone. She didn't want to live alone.
Cheng Xiao finally finished charging the ancient jade.
He took a step back, smiled, and said, "Live well for me."
Cheng Xiao gave her no chance to resist, and suddenly pointed his finger at the ancient jade.
A blinding white light erupted instantly, completely engulfing Long Yingxue.
"No!" She realized that she could finally make a sound, but it was too late.
With a desperate scream, the light faded.
In the courtyard, only Cheng Xiao remained all alone, along with the dragons whose eyes were filled with shock.
......
When Long Yingxue opened her eyes again, she was surrounded by biting cold winds and swirling snow.
She found herself transported to the summit of a snow-capped mountain, surrounded by nothing but white.
Long Yingxue sat blankly on the snow, staring at the ancient jade in her hand that had been completely shattered into powder. Cheng Xiao's gentle gaze and the words "Live well for me" kept replaying in her mind.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
A mournful cry echoed from the summit of the snow-capped mountain, accompanied even by the roar of a dragon.
Upon hearing the sound, countless animals fled frantically, and even the snow-capped mountains trembled.
Soon, a massive avalanche covered everything.
Many animals that didn't have time to escape were buried inside.
Long Yingxue did not resist, but simply let the wind and snow engulf her.
She felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if it were about to split open. A multitude of emotions piled up in her chest, but in the end, all that seemed to remain was regret.
If she hadn't said she didn't want revenge...
If she hadn't said she wanted to stay with the Cheng family...
If she hadn't been so attached to that hard-won happiness...
If she continues to cultivate diligently and improve her strength...
if......
Long Yingxue discovered that Cheng Xiao's death was entirely because of her. It was because of her cowardice that she personally caused Cheng Xiao's death, leaving him with no choice but to exchange his life for hers.
That year, my mother was like that, and now Cheng Xiao is like that too.
She seems to be constantly causing trouble for those around her.
It turns out what others said was true; she was the jinx, and anyone who got close to her would become unfortunate.
Long Yingxue had closed her eyes; she wanted to sleep forever.
But suddenly she felt a strange pulse in her blood!
It is a blood pact between master and servant!
She and Cheng Xiao signed a master-servant blood pact back then, meaning that if Cheng Xiao died, she couldn't live on her own. But the fact that she's still alive means...
Realizing this, Long Yingxue frantically dug away the blood that was pressing down on her and poked her head out of the snow.
Cheng Xiao isn't dead yet, she still has hope!
She still has a chance to rescue him!
But this hope, which had just begun to rise, quickly plummeted to rock bottom.
The Dragon Palace is full of experts; she can't even defeat Ao Shuang, so how could she possibly rescue Cheng Xiao?
She fell into despair once again.
If only she were a little stronger.
Perhaps someone heard her wish.
Long Yingxue discovered that the broken piece of ancient jade in her hand was emitting a yellow light.
This thing gave her a familiar feeling, as if it came from the same source as her.
The yellow light kept drifting forward, guiding her.
Long Yingxue took the initiative to follow.
