Xuanyuan Cheng looked down at the cultivators fighting for their lives with a blank expression.
Some of these people were his classmates, some were his companions who had gone through fire and water with him, and some were his fellow disciples who had sat and discussed the Dao with him. Everything made him reluctant to part with them.
There were also An Lin and Xu Xiaolan in Yue Tong City …
It was a pity that he wouldn't be able to see them one last time …
Xuanyuan Cheng heaved a faint sigh. He was quite reluctant to part with them, but he was quite calm.
Shu Honglan looped her arms around Xuanyuan Cheng's neck and rested her head on Xuanyuan Cheng's shoulder as she said in a pleasant voice, "Ah Cheng, I like you."
Xuanyuan Cheng faltered slightly upon hearing this. How many times had she confessed to him already?
He recalled that he had always tried to bluff his way through without giving her a proper response.
He looked at the red-clothed dancer beside him, whose face was like a beautiful flower reflecting the water and whose body was like a weak willow in the wind. Her beautiful eyes contained unprecedented firmness and passion.
Xuanyuan Cheng smiled. "I like you too."
In that instant, all the sounds between heaven and earth seemed to have fallen silent.
Shu Honglan looked at the elderly man before her, and she could vaguely see his handsome features from the past.
She smiled as well. After confessing for so long, she had finally heard the answer that she had been yearning for. However, she wasn't as excited or elated as she had imagined.
Perhaps it was because she had already known the answer.
She had only confirmed it now.
Shu Honglan pecked Xuanyuan Cheng on the cheek with a blush on her face. "Are you only willing to admit it because you don't have long to live?"
Xuanyuan Cheng thought about it for a moment before shaking his head. "No. Actually, if you confess to me again, I'll admit it no matter what state I'm in."
Shu Honglan's mouth gaped open upon hearing this, and tears began to flow from her eyes.
This was undoubtedly a massive blow to her.
How could fate make a fool out of her like this?
"Honglan, you have to live well," Xuanyuan Cheng said.
"Don't worry, of course I'll live well. I won't do something as stupid as committing suicide for love." A rare look of determination appeared on Shu Honglan's face, and she said in a low voice, "It's just that … I won't be dancing anymore. There's no point in dancing without you watching over me …"
She could sense that Xuanyuan Cheng's life force was rapidly and irreversibly fading away.
Bai Ling had already tried everything she could think of, but she was still unable to save Xuanyuan Cheng.
It would be a lie to say that Xuanyuan Cheng wasn't feeling any regret, but he was still very pleased to see that his sacrifice had created such a good opportunity for his friends and the Kingdom of the Nine States to retaliate. Just let him age quickly and then slowly die …
He found himself very, very tired.
He couldn't even feel the warmth from the woman's hand.
Am I going to die …
Pu!!
Xuanyuan Cheng suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
His entire body shuddered as if he had been electrocuted, and his consciousness suddenly became a lot clearer. Even his soul, which was about to leave his body, returned to his body in fright.
Then, he saw a bright red flower. It was using its dark green branches to pierce into his heart, swaying its graceful body.
"Xiao … Xiao Hong?!" Xuanyuan Cheng exclaimed in shock.
"Elder Xiao Hong?" Shu Honglan was also given a fright as she held Xuanyuan Cheng in her arms. She had no idea when the little red flower had appeared in Xuanyuan Cheng's body.
A sweet voice sounded.
"Sigh … What's going on between you two? I finally saved your father, but you look like you're about to die. What an exhausting flower … "
Xiao Hong grumbled in her sweet voice.
"If I want to save you, I'll have to bask in the sun for a long time before I can catch my breath …"
Xuanyuan Cheng and Shu Honglan were both rooted to the spot upon hearing this.
"Save … save me?" Xuanyuan Cheng murmured to himself as his soul returned to his body again.
Shu Honglan's eyes widened with ecstasy as she spoke in a trembling voice, "Xiao Hong … Y-You can save Ah Cheng? Really? Can you really save him? "
"I can, but you're more difficult to save than your father. I can only save your lifespan and cultivation base, but your dao has been severely damaged, so I can't do anything for now," Xiao Hong replied with a forlorn expression.
Xuanyuan Cheng and Shu Honglan were both astonished.
Not only could it save his life, but it could also save his lifespan and cultivation base?
Was this supposed to be a forlorn expression?
Xuanyuan Cheng and Shu Honglan were about to cry tears of joy!!!
Who would want to die if they had a chance to live?
They had thought that they would be thanking the heavens if they could survive, but now, even their lifespan and cultivation base could be saved. If they weren't hallucinating, then they were definitely in heaven.
Shu Honglan's body trembled as she thanked An Lin over and over again.
Xuanyuan Cheng was expressing his gratitude, but he still kept asking if there were any side effects to Xiao Hong and whether it would be harmful to Xiao Hong. He really wanted to live, but he couldn't bring himself to sacrifice someone else's life for the sake of survival. Xiao Hong promised that this process was very taxing and tiring, but there would be no side effects. All he needed to do was bask in the sun to recover.
Thus, the treatment began.
The faint golden light fused into Xuanyuan Cheng's body, and as if it were a miracle, Xuanyuan Cheng's shriveled skin regained its luster and elasticity, and his white hair became black again …
Not only that, but his cultivation base was also recovering at an extremely slow rate.
To Xuanyuan Cheng and Shu Honglan, this was nothing short of a miracle!
They couldn't understand what Xiao Hong was doing. It was so profound that they could only use the words "holy f * ck" and "bad * ss" to describe it. There was only one thought in their minds. How could she be so bad * ss?
Even the knowledgeable Bai Ling was rooted to the spot, let alone Xuanyuan Cheng and Shu Honglan.
What Little Red was doing right now had touched upon the blind spot of her knowledge.
In the past, Xuanyuan Cheng's life force and cultivation base were like a candle that was constantly burning. In the end, he had already reached a point where there was nothing left to burn, and everything was reduced to light, heat, and matter that flowed into heaven and earth.
Bai Ling could only gather the gas and matter released by the candle again.
However, Xiao Hong was even able to recover the light and heat released by the candle …
This was not something that a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure could achieve.
Just what else was Xiao Hong hiding?
Bai Ling was starting to get curious. She discovered that Xiao Hong's journey had been very strange and inexplicable. She cultivated, she made breakthroughs, her aptitude defied the natural order … And now, even her abilities were extremely strange.
After a short while, a faint smile appeared on Bai Ling's face as she shook her head. The Four Nine Immortal Sect had no shortage of strange things. Setting aside An Lin and Xu Xiaolan, even Tina, Ye Ling, and Xue Zhantian were all very strange. If she really wanted to get to the bottom of everything, wouldn't she die of exhaustion?
Come to think of it, she was also quite strange herself …
Bai Ling looked at Xuanyuan Cheng, who was becoming more and more energetic, as well as Shu Honglan, who was crying tears of joy in her arms, and a warm and enticing smile appeared on her face.
"Four Nine Immortal Sect …
"What a strange and interesting place …"
