Xie Ziyou originally wanted to be a meat shield for the protagonist to bear the violent impact of the fall.
His consciousness was attached to the jade bracelet, so even if it was broken, he would only lose a body.
As long as he wanted to, he could attach himself to anything in the world, even if it was a strand of the protagonist's hair.
But Guan Heng held his waist tightly, his arms strong and strong, and Xie Ziyou could not turn around for a moment.
Clouds drifted, and sharp grass and branches poked out from the cliff. They sneered and cut Guan Heng's arms into thousands of tiny wounds.
Warm blood splashed on Xie Ziyou's face. He was anxious and angry, and could not help but curse.
But the wind blew and scattered his voice.
Guan Heng was in a trance again, and there was only one thought in his mind.
— — I can't hurt his You.
— — Anything is fine, just come at me.
"… Bang!"
After passing through layers of branches, the deepest part of the cliff was covered with dense dead leaves. The two of them crashed into the depths like cannonballs, raising thousands of dust and startling a group of crows.
Xie Ziyou poked his head out from the rotten branches and tried to pull the dead leaves off his long hair. He leaned down and struggled to pull Guan Heng's body out.
He grabbed the teenager's collar and said in grief and indignation, "Hey, wake up! Guan Heng? "
The teenager's eyes were closed, and his lips were pale. After being shaken a few times, his tightly pursed lips opened slightly, and he spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.
Fortunately, he was still breathing.
Xie Ziyou carefully supported his head and carried him on his back. Then, he staggered out of the room.
He stumbled all the way, and the stones buried deep under the grass and leaves scratched the young man's white and slender ankles from time to time. The hundred-year-old mud was suffocating with a fishy smell, making Xie Ziyou want to cry.
He said to the System with tears in his eyes, "It turns out that it's not easy to be a Golden Finger employee. I'm not jealous of them anymore."
The System also sighed, "You, your 1,000 points …"
"Ah, look, the sky is so blue."
"… Was it all in vain?"
Xie Ziyou wanted to cry but had no tears. "If you don't say anything, we can still be friends."
He huffed and puffed as he climbed up the rock. His heart ached so much that it almost bled.
It was not easy to earn 1,000 points.
In a previous world, Xie Ziyou had played the role of a villain for nearly ten years. In the end, he was cursed by all the people and died with a grievance. His corpse was then exposed in the wilderness and eaten by crows and sparrows. Only then did he earn these points.
His jade-like body rubbed against the surface of the rock with a crisp sound. Although it was not painful, it still left a large area of fine and messy white marks on the soles of the young man's mutton fat feet.
Although Guan Heng was young, his muscles were firm. Xie Ziyou was panting with difficulty as she carried him. She felt like she was carrying a mountain on her back.
It was not easy to find a stone platform facing the sun. It was still dry and tidy. Xie Ziyou gently placed Guan Heng on the ground.
He was about to get up when he suddenly realized that he could not move his body. Guan Heng's hand was clutching the corner of his clothes. The veins in his five fingers were tight. He was stubborn and refused to let go.
Xie Ziyou, "…"
The brocade clothes were formed by his body. Cutting off the corner of his clothes was equivalent to cutting off a piece of jade from a jade bracelet. It was definitely not going to work.
Xie Ziyou raised her hand and gently patted Guan Heng's cheek. "Let go, hey, let go!"
The young man's eyes were tightly shut and he was unconscious.
Xie Ziyou, "… Molestation! Murder! Guan Jia's leather factory closed down. The master ran away with his sister-in-law! "
The young man's eyebrows trembled slightly. His lips gently opened and closed, uttering an incomprehensible murmur. His head leaned against Xie Ziyou's feet. Instead of loosening his grip, he tightened his grip.
Xie Ziyou thought to himself, "Motherf * cker, you're forcing me to cut off my flesh."
But he leaned over and stretched out his hand. His slender fingers touched the young man's forehead, which was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat. The chaotic internal force in Guan Heng's body was looking for an exit. When it surged, Xie Ziyou could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Guan Heng had just practiced the 《Devour the Sky》 and condensed an Elixir. He could barely be considered a first-grade elixir. He could not completely absorb the Xuan Bing force left by Xie Ziyou. He could only absorb a small part of it to ensure that his hands and feet could move.
In such a terrible situation, he had also absorbed all of Hong 'er's profound energy. On top of that, he had also forcefully taken the medicinal strength of the pill. His fragile meridians were unable to withstand the high pressure and all of the fine parts of his meridians had ruptured. Fine cracks had appeared on his dantian, bones, and even his profound core. The pain he felt was no less painful than having his tendons pulled out and his skin peeled off.
It was unknown how he managed to hold on all the way and still had the mood to tease Xie Ziyou.
You Qin's appearance aggravated Guan Heng's injuries.
Although her sword did not directly hit the young man, the leaked internal force had a serious impact. The surging internal force had stimulated the Xuan Bing force in the young man's body. At this moment, the old and new injuries were acting up at the same time. The fragile body was like a battlefield, stirring up Guan Heng's blood and Qi. His dantian was like a ragged sack.
"It's over, it's over."
Xie Ziyou was inconsolable. He thought to himself, "What kind of nonsense is this? The Blood Lingzhi Mushroom can't cure this kind of injury, okay?"
He might as well dig a hole and bury the protagonist while he was still breathing!
His heart was filled with grief and indignation. Xie Ziyou's breathing was weak. He grabbed the System and said weakly, "Give me a life-saving pill that can cure all diseases …"
The System said, "200 points … But You, is it worth it?"
"Nonsense." Xie Ziyou gritted his teeth. "I've already invested 1000 points. Do you think I'm short of 200 points?"
Although he was bound to the Villain System, he had a kind heart. He did not want to do evil things. He was willing to spend his points to complete missions and choose those villainous jobs that did not touch his bottom line.
After all, villains were not the same as evil people. Different standpoints, hostile forces, taking the blame for others, or like this time, breaking off the engagement. All obstacles in the way of the protagonist's growth could be called villains.
It was also because of this that Xie Ziyou did not want to give up this mission and Guan Heng — not only because of the points he had invested, but also because this person was the protagonist.
If there was a reason, it was probably because …
This was a young man who was not yet 20 years old. He had suffered a great tragedy, was seriously injured, and was deserted by everyone. However, he was in a deep coma and tightly clutched his sleeve.
Xie Ziyou looked at the wrinkles on the corner of his sleeve and glanced at Guan Heng's white knuckles. He felt bitter in his heart.
He could not abandon a young man who trusted and relied on him so much.
The System was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Do you know how gamblers lose all their money?"
Xie Ziyou: "…"
At this time, there was no need to feed him poisonous chicken soup!
Unable to persuade Xie Ziyou, the System ran to help him exchange for a heaven-defying life-saving pill.
Although it was a pill, Xie Ziyou did not have any water at the moment. The System considerately helped him exchange it for a liquid tonic.
The light green juice glowed faintly and was wrapped in a layer of transparent film. There seemed to be invisible bubbles churning inside it. As soon as it was taken out, a refreshing light enveloped the entire stone platform, and a fresh and elegant fruity fragrance wafted out.
Worried that the fragrance would attract other beasts, Xie Ziyou anxiously pulled Guan Heng's lips — to no avail.
The young man's teeth were tightly clenched. As soon as he opened his mouth, a strong smell of blood seeped out from between his white teeth.
The medicine could not be poured in.
Xie Ziyou's mind was full of thoughts. She gritted her teeth and said to the System with a slightly red face, "You're not allowed to look."
The System said, "Okay, You. But a friendly reminder, this thing melts in the mouth. You have to feed him mouth to mouth faster."
Xie Ziyou had already bent down, but after hearing the System's words, she jumped up and glared fiercely, "I don't plan to feed him mouth to mouth!"
"…"
"… That's right, I want to feed him mouth to mouth, so what?!" Xie Ziyou was so ashamed and angry that she kicked the ground and growled, "I'm doing this to complete the mission. I'm giving my body, I'm sacrificing myself!"
…
Guan Heng was in a trance. His consciousness floated in the midst of chaos. He was in a daze.
His whole body was surrounded by endless darkness. It was cold and damp, as if he had passed through an eternal night.
But slowly, colors appeared in front of his eyes. The dense and oppressive ink waves rolled over and over on both sides. A dazzling starlight fell slowly. The soft and gentle light fell between his eyes and turned into a trickle, flowing into his meridians and gently healing each of his wounds.
It was so warm, like the first Dawn, the rosy clouds were boundless, and the orioles and swallows were flying, summoning the first wisp of spring breeze.
The young man's eyes were intoxicated, and he slightly pursed his lips.
It was as if he was holding the starlight in his mouth.
His eyelashes trembled, and he quietly opened his eyes.
Xie Ziyou, whose lips were still on Guan Heng's, and whose tongue was forcefully squeezing between his teeth, was speechless.
The two of them looked at each other.
Xie Ziyou immediately shot up. His cheeks were as red as the rosy clouds. He took a few steps back and raised his hand in a panic to pull his long hair that was hanging down behind him.
It was too embarrassing!
He did not know why he was so flustered. His whole body was so uncomfortable that he wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. But the stone platform was too narrow, and there was no space for him to hide.
Fortunately, Guan Heng was still lying motionless on the ground. His eyes were level and did not fall on Xie Ziyou.
But the young man's voice was clear, and he said softly, "You, were you kissing me just now?"
"Kiss your head!" Xie Ziyou's breathing was rapid, and his ears were so red that they were almost dripping blood. He growled in a low voice, "I was saving your life!"
"Oh," Guan Heng said, "I see that you seem to be very embarrassed … Why don't I close my eyes, and you can pretend that I didn't wake up?"
"I'm not embarrassed!"
"But your face is very red."
"That's because of the sun … And your face is very red too!"
"I'm probably sunburned by you."
"Don't say it like I'm emitting light and heat. I'm not a light bulb!"
Guan Heng did not speak anymore. He slightly closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth quietly raised into a smile.
He did not know what a light bulb was. In his mind, other than candlelight and lanterns, there was only the blazing little sun in the sky that could emit light and heat.
The young man in front of him had delicate eyebrows and eyes. His eyes were a blazing amber color like the sun — as dazzling as when he had caught a glimpse of him before he had fainted.
When he was angry and embarrassed, his cheeks were flushed red. The flame-shaped pattern between his eyebrows was as red as refining. His beautiful peach blossom eyes were raised. They were quiet and seductive.
He did not dare to look at him too much.
If he looked at him too much, he felt as if he would be burned.
'That's great,' Guan Heng thought.
All the hardships in his life seemed to have condensed on this day. Breaking off the engagement, poisoning, banishment, assassination … Everyone in the world had betrayed him on this day.
But Guan Heng gently covered his chest with his right hand and felt his rapidly beating heart below. An incomparable sense of satisfaction and fullness gathered in one place.
The bright sunlight fell on the young man's embarrassed and averted eyes not far away. It was as if a young grass trembled and reached out to the heart of a bud. The faint silver light quietly fell. It was the last connection between him and the joy of this world.
There was still someone who truly cared about him.
It was not because of the engagement that brought honor to his family, nor was it because of the kindness he had shown them in his early years. It was simply because of him, because of this ordinary and insignificant existence in the world named Guan Heng.
Under his right palm, his blood vessels bulged. His heart beat rapidly but powerfully. He beat his chest again and again, sending a warm current to every corner of his limbs and bones.
Now he had the courage to do anything for Youyou, Guan Heng thought. Even if Youyou wanted him to kill a Xuan Beast King.
The warm current flowed through his body, mending his dantian that was full of holes. It turned into a surging Xuan Li, constantly squeezing and contracting —
"Puff."
It was quiet all around. Only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the branches could be heard.
Guan Heng's inflated mood was suddenly pierced by a corner, and silently deflated.
"Uh … Youyou, can I talk to you about something?"
Xie Ziyou had not yet drowned in the mire of shame.
He had his back to Guan Heng. He held his cheeks with both hands and said unwillingly, "Go ahead."
Guan Heng's tone was nervous and guilty. "My Xuan Dan … seems to be broken."
"… …"
