Chapter 481 I Don't Want You to Die
A warm feeling welled up in Shui Lian'er's heart, and her eyes stung and welled up with tears.
She hugged Qin Beiyao tightly, buried her face in his chest, and said in a muffled voice, "I like you too, Beiyao."
"I like you the most, I like you the most!"
Qin Beiyao hugged her tightly, responding to her feelings.
After a while, Shui Lian'er calmed down, looked up at Qin Beiyao and smiled, "Shall we go have some tea?"
Qin Beiyao nodded, blushing, and carefully tidied the slightly messy stray hairs around her ears.
Shui Lian'er's heart was pounding so fast that she felt like she was on fire. Fortunately, the calming tea was quickly served to them.
Shui Lian'er picked up the teapot first, pretending to pour tea for Qin Beiyao. Qin Beiyao naturally took the teapot from her, poured a cup of incredibly fragrant tea, and gently pushed it in front of her.
Just as she was about to drink, two slender fingers pinched the cup, preventing her from picking it up.
Shui Lian'er looked up, puzzled. Qin Beiyao leaned down, staring at her face, getting closer and closer, and asked, "Back in Penglai Immortal Mountain, you said you wanted to tell me a secret. I've thought about it for a long, long time, going over it again and again, but I just haven't come to a conclusion. Now that Li Qian and the others aren't here, can you tell me this secret? Even just a little bit will do!"
Shui Lian'er raised an eyebrow, put a finger to her lips, and smiled slyly: "I said I'd tell you when we got back to the sect, but now you want to know? No way!"
Qin Beiyao was furious and felt wronged: "You just said you liked me the most, how come you're bullying me like this again..."
Shui Lian'er smiled and blinked, then stood up slightly, as if to say something to him. Suddenly, a hand, from behind among the tea drinkers coming and going, pierced her abdomen bloodily from back to front.
Qin Beiyao's nervous and embarrassed expression froze on his face, and his blood ran cold in an instant.
My heart, which had been beating so fiercely, seemed to die at that moment.

Suddenly jolted awake from her meditation, Hongyun clutched her chest, a strange sense of unease washing over her. She turned her head; outside the window, dark clouds hung heavy, a howling wind raged, and torrential rain poured down, pattering against the tender, lovely little bamboo of Feixia Mountain.
The clump of small bamboo by her window was planted by that restless little girl, Lian'er. It's said that bamboo leaves are evergreen, and that she will always be a youthful and beautiful mother, the most beautiful and best mother in the world.
At that time, the little girl was not even as tall as her knees. She was so small that she could barely walk steadily. But when she planted the little bamboo, she did it quite well. Although her face and hair were covered in mud, the little bamboo she planted actually grew and grew better and better, becoming greener and greener.
Of course, this little girl is also becoming more and more beautiful. The flower that Feixia Peak has carefully nurtured and grown must be as vibrant and bright as her, the most beautiful cloud in Tianqian Sect.
Thinking of that sticky little figure, Hongyun couldn't help but sigh, her beautiful eyes filled with a faint sense of longing and worry.
I wonder if that girl is getting used to life outside, if anyone is bullying her, if she gets hurt, or if she doesn't have enough spirit stones?
And...when will she come back?
It hadn't been that long, but she already missed that girl a little.
When Mingming was around, she complained that she was naughty and mischievous, never quiet, and didn't inherit any of the elegant and virtuous qualities of her real-life sister, Hongyun...
Thinking this, she got up and walked to the window. Looking at the rain falling from the sky, she couldn't help but frown slightly. She waved her sleeve and coated the small bamboo leaf by the window with a barrier to protect it from the wind and rain.
Just then, a thunderclap exploded in the sky, and blinding lightning suddenly tore through the low-hanging black curtain, as if it wanted to devour all the delicious food in the world.
For no apparent reason, Master Hongyun felt a tremor in her heart and stared blankly at the little spirit Qizhu, whom she was carefully protecting, in the heavy rain.
-
The torrential rain poured down, making the already damp forest path even muddier. The icy rain seemed to have leaked from the sky, weaving a fine, dense white curtain of water that stretched across the sky and earth, almost obscuring the view behind it.
"Tap Tap!"
"Boom!"
Leaves were broken, withered branches were trampled into the mud, and in the vast desolate forest, someone was hidden in the roaring thunder, staggering forward, the splashing water wetting the hem of his robe, but he still did not stop.
The rough breathing, the painful groans, and the constant rumbling thunder seemed to forge a death cage from which there was no escape.
Those who desperately run forward in the cage are nothing more than caged beasts, struggling in vain.
"I'm in so much pain..."
"It's alright, it's alright, the medicine will take effect soon, you'll be fine..."
"...Put me down, you can walk alone...you...you can run faster by yourself..."
"What nonsense are you spouting!" The boy's voice was almost choked with sobs. "I promised Zhenren that I would protect you with my life. Even if I die, you will not die!"
Warm blood mingled with rainwater, trickling down the exquisite embroidery patterns.
her.
his.
A hole in his abdomen, and scars all over his body.
The boy carried the girl on his back and hurriedly traversed the unfamiliar and vast dense forest, refusing to stop even when he was almost exhausted.
On the contrary, he carried her on his back very steadily.
She was still wearing the robe he had given her to shield her from the rain.
"But……"
The girl weakly felt the warmth beneath her.
I don't want you to die.
A fierce wind, carrying sharp rain blades, swept in from all directions of the forest. The sky was heavy and the ground was deep and dark. The people trapped in the cage were so small and insignificant that a slight twist would send them sinking into this deserted swamp.
Qin Beiyao, carrying Shui Lian'er on his back, kept running forward, trying to find a way to escape, but behind him came a sinister, emotionless voice.
The sound spread through the forest, like a net that seemed to mock its prey as it struggled to survive.
"Those two poor little birds are soaked by the rain..."
"Stop running."
"Poor little thing, stop now."
"When I'm peeling away the heart and skin, I'll be very, very gentle."
"Very light, very light..."
The wind bent the tree trunks, the rain soaked the road ahead, and the cold gradually robbed the body of its life-giving warmth. With its body stretched to its limit by excessive blood loss, the body finally gave way and staggered to the ground.
Qin Beiyao's pupils went unfocused, and almost instinctively he turned around and tightly shielded Shui Lian'er in his arms.
The two rolled downhill along the thickets and bushes, their crimson blood blooming in the dirty mud.
Then, with a "thud," the two suddenly lost their balance and fell heavily into a hole.
"Bei Yao!"
