Chapter 606: Tenderness

However, it was also because her mind contained this extremely cold and gloomy qi that Ling Chuxi’s six sense was even more sensitive than ever before, and her pain was magnified countless times.

It was originally a severe pain that was unbearable. What were the consequences of its amplification many times over?

If there was some who could see how Ling Chuxi looked now, even someone with a heart made of stone would have been moved. Her body was drenched in cold sweat, as though she was soaked after a large downpour. Color had long since left her beautiful face that could topple cities. All there was left was a pain that could make one’s heart clench. However, within her tightly furrowed eyebrows, a stubbornness and tenacity could be seen.

If it were other people, perhaps they would have long since given up on the desire to live and perhaps would have even wished for an early death in order to avoid this heart-ripping pain. But Ling Chuxi wouldn’t. Even if there was only one final lifeline to hold onto, she would not give up.

It was just that when she was facing the entire power of the world in this array barrier, how long could she hold on for?

Her mind was already starting to be lost and go into a trance when a vague figure appeared in her mind. That figure’s long silver hair was so enchanting, and his handsome face was painted with an expression so moving. His clear eyes contained a deep affection and care.

Ling Chuxi’s face that was overcome with pain revealed a small smile. If in the last moments of life, she had his accompaniment, it was a very blessed matter, wasn’t it? Even though it was just a memory hidden in the depths of her soul, it could still allow her to feel a semblance of happiness.

Her icy cold hands suddenly felt a thick warmth, just as if a strong pair of big hands were holding them tightly. In an instant, that warmth spread to her entire body.

Ling Chuxi tried to open her eyes and amidst the vortex of rapids, a dreamlike figure appeared in front of her with unending peerless skill and poise.

“I’m sorry, my little Chuxi, I’m late. Sleep peacefully, nothing will happen to you. Trust me, nothing will happen to you,” said a voice full of regret and self-reproach by her ear and suddenly the gaze from her memory appeared to be so real.

“Is this a hallucination?” Before dying, to have such an illusion of someone so dear to her also turned out to bring such great happiness.

The warmth spread to her entire body from the palm of her hand, as if she was being soaked in a hot spring after falling into extreme exhaustion, all the dust on her body and all her pain was being washed away. It was so relaxing and enjoyable.

Ling Chuxi closed her eyes and fell into a deep slumber, but the frown in her brow slowly eased.

The undercurrents flowing by her side were even more vigorous than before and its qi flow that was spiraling like a sword’s blade was turning everything to dust. A dense qi formed a barrier around Huangfu Qingjue and Ling Chuxi, keeping the two of them safe within.

However now, even that thick qi barrier seemed to have signs of being unable to withstand the force of the undercurrents and was showing traces of cracks.

Huangfu Qingjue frowned slightly and his arms tightly hugged Ling Chuxi in an embrace. The thick qi barrier quickly shrank to a size protecting Ling Chuxi alone. However, it was a lot stronger than before, strong and unyielding to the force of the undercurrents.

Huangfu Qingjue’s own body trembled slightly and countless streams of blood flew out of his back. However, the gaze with which he used to look at Ling Chuxi remained as calm as usual and full of tenderness.

…

Finally, the undercurrents weakened, and a silver light flitted past as two figures gently fell from the sky.

Ling Chuxi seemed to have had a dream. In the dream, she held Huangfu Qingjue’s hands and was in an endless void of chaos, yet she felt so safe and secure. The two of them had their fingers intertwined, as if they would never be apart again in every life.

Before her eyes, a brilliance flashed, and Ling Chuxi awoke from her dream.

“Qingjue!” mumbled Ling Chuxi lightly with a reluctance to leave Huangfu Qingjue in her dream as she slowly opened her eyes.
