One day at noon .
“Zhi Po . ” Qing Chen’s flowery clothes swayed in the air . He floated to Ming Shu and his mood was a bit low . “Let’s go back to Xiling city . ”
“You give up?” Ming Shu was surprised .
Qing Chen shook his head . “Hui Xue is right . In this world, there may have been no dragons…”
Hui Xue didn’t think that her previous words were heard by Qing Chen . It was a bit embarrassing . She found an excuse to leave .
“This doesn’t sound like you, why so passive?” Ming Shu seemed to be in a good mood, and she casually asked, “What happened?”
Qing Chen lifted his clothes and sat down . He stared at the fire, where some fish was being roasted .
“It’ll be my birthday in three months . ” Qing Chen paused . ” Twenty-six years old . ”
He felt the changes in his body in recent days .
“So fast?”
Qing Chen rolled his eyes at Ming Shu . She only knew how to eat all day and didn’t notice how much time had passed at all .
Plus they were in the Windy Mountain Range of Demons . It’s a place where people would ignore time .
“So, go back for what—to wait to die?” Since they didn’t find the dragon, and there was no other way to cure this poison, he truly could only wait for death .
Qing Chen leaned toward Ming Shu, closer . An enchanting smile formed on his face and he asked, “What, you can’t bear to part with me?”
If you are reluctant to let me die, just think of a way to cure me! Come on!
“I won’t go back with you . ” Ming Shu stepped away from Qing Chen . Her dream was to eat the entire Windy Mountain Range of Demons . She hadn’t finished yet .
“Hey . ” Qing Chen patted Ming Shu’s shoulder, and his strength pushed Ming Shu backward; they were accidentally facing each other now . Qing Chen, unprepared, looked into the depths of Ming Shu’s eyes . He fell into a feeling of softness . He seemed to see countless golden lights there, flashing and attracting him so deeply .
Ming Shu blinked; the lights disappeared as the mirror flower, as the water moon . Qing Chen moved his eyes away a bit unnaturally . “Well, we’ve gotten along for so long, won’t you return with me?”
Ming Shu smiled and got rid of his hand . “Save it, no, you go back yourself . ”
Qing Chen didn’t give up . “You promised to cure me . So this is it? No, no way, you have to come with me . ”
“I told you the treatment . You can’t find the medicine yourself . What’s the relation with me?” Something like a dragon, she was not the protagonist, how could she know where to find it!
“Looking for medicine is your duty as a doctor, isn’t it?” Qing Chen argued unreasonably .
“What? Are you serious?”
“Of course . I’m serious, and I’m going to rely on you,” Qing Chen answered in a provoking manner while playing with his own flowery clothes .
“Wow, you really are shameless . ” This idiot was getting bolder and bolder . It seemed that he hadn’t been given an ideological education class for a long time .
Qing Chen shook out his hair . “Yeah, you are so kind to me . I mean, you almost spoiled me . ”
He had been with Ming Shu for some time . Although her temperament was not clear, it was also not that hard to understand .
Ming Shu stared at him and didn’t speak .
“I mean it . Come back with me . ” Qing Chen coughed and avoided Ming Shu’s stare . “We didn’t find the dragon . It seems I really have to go back and wait for death . Could you see me off for my last trip?”
WTF? Am I crazy? Am I really inviting this madwoman to come back for my last trip?
Screw the last journey!
Qing Chen was almost moved by his own tears, why could he act so well .
However, Ming Shu obviously didn’t seem to buy this . “You have so many disciples at your Drunken Flower Pavilion, they will accompany you during your final moments, don’t expect me . ”
“How can they be compared with you?” When you get crazy, the whole Drunken Flower Pavilion wouldn’t be enough to calm you down . “You are the master of Death Valley . If you’re there with me when I’m dying, it would also be a proud thing for me . ”
“I’m not the master anymore . ” Not long ago, news arrived that Hong Yan brought people with him to Death Valley, and he claimed Ming Shu had died . All of Death Valley was now headed by Hong Yan .
Qing Chen obviously remembered this matter as well . “You come back with me, and I will help you get back Death Valley . ”
Ming Shu gave him a look of contempt . “Even if I want your help, do I need it?”
Death Valley developed like this because she completely ignored it . If she wanted to take back Death Valley, it would cost no more than eating more food .
Qing Chen: “…” Don’t be so arrogant and show off your power!
In the end, Qing Chen didn’t persuade Ming Shu . Before the two separated, they had a big fight . The reason was that Qing Chen took away a bunch of fruits that Ming Shu picked the night before .
“Zhi Po, do you even have a heart?”
Qing Chen threw the bunch of fruit in front of Ming Shu and left, not looking back even once .
Ming Shu stared at the bright red fruit on the ground . She stood in place for a long time . Then she bent down and picked up the fruit, dusting the surface . She whispered softly to herself: “I didn’t have this before . ”
Hey!
The little beastie patted Ming Shu’s legs .
Ming Shu looked at it .
The little beastie patted its own small chest again . Its black jewel-like eyes were full of seriousness, but it appeared very funny .
One person and one beast silently looked at each other . No one knew what they had exchanged . In the end, Ming Shu chuckled and bent down to pick up the little beastie with the egg . “You eat less next time, I will be very happy . ”
Little beastie grunted .
We are family, mine is yours and yours is mine…
“Miss…” Hui Xue approached Ming Shu slowly . “Are you all right?”
“Yeah, I’m very fine . I can eat an entire cow now . ” Ming Shu threw away the little beastie .
The little beastie held its egg and rolled down the hillside . If you don’t know what heartache is, just imagine the little beastie’s expression now . It was like someone had just received a love confession from his crush, as a result, and she told him that it was actually for a game of Truth or Dare, and she chose the Dare .
Autumn leaves fell in the cold wind .
A tall, thin man stood in the courtyard, looking at a dead tree with his hand behind him .
Cough … He placed his hand on his lips, and when he took it away, his palm was full of blood .
“Master, the weather is getting colder, you should wear more clothes . ” The guard put a cloak on Qing Chen as he spoke .
“How’s the matter of Death Valley?” Qing Chen took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood on his palm . Then he went toward the room, wearing the cloak .
“All solved, Miss Zhi Po… will still be the master of Death Valley when she comes back,” the guard answered . “Master, I don’t understand . You didn’t seem to like Miss Zhi Po, so why are you…”
Helping eliminate the traitors in Death Valley for her?
Qing Chen shook his head . Perhaps he was crazy?
His mission had failed, but it really was not her fault . Just view it… as him compensating her, for he had bothered her a lot previously .
Qing Chen’s birthday was getting closer and closer, and his state was getting worse and worse . He could hardly get up from the bed now .
This year’s first snow came very early . Qing Chen looked at the falling snow outside the window, and his thoughts drifted far away .
“Master . ” The door was suddenly pushed open, and cold wind blew straight into the room, causing Qing Chen to shiver a little .
“What’s the rush?” Qing Chen leaned against the bed with half of his face hidden in the dark . His expression couldn’t be seen .
The guard stepped forward . “Master, Miss Hui Xue… she wants to see you . ”
