Two years later.
Two years had passed since Ye Wuchen jumped into the Broken Soul Abyss. The legend of Ye Wuchen was still spreading in the Tianchen Continent, especially in Tenryū Province. He and his legend were slowly deified over time. In Tenryū Province, Ye Wuchen had gradually become a mythical figure who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the God of Swords. Many old people would talk about a mythical young man when they were telling stories to young children. He was the highest goal that they needed to strive to reach, but could never reach.
Two years had not changed the situation in the Tianchen Continent. The Great Wind Nation was more peaceful than expected. Although they often harassed the border of Tenryū Province, they had never really launched a large-scale attack. This was like the precursor of a storm. No one thought that the Great Wind Nation would continue this small game. They were waiting for the right time and the right opportunity.
Ye Wei, who hated the Great Wind Nation to the bone, had rarely returned home in the past two years. He had been guarding in the west. He even wished that a war would break out immediately, or that he would take the initiative to lead an army to invade the Great Wind Nation and kill to his heart's content. Unfortunately, his Tenryū Province was destined to be the passive party.
An unknown and mysterious area.
This place was clearly at the bottom of a bottomless abyss. It was impossible for sunlight to shine in, but strangely, it was as bright as daytime. Moreover, this place was always so bright, there was no night. The sky was dark, but there was light in front of them. No one knew where this strange light came from.
Not only was there light, but there was also a clear river, fragrant wildflowers, green grassland, and a vibrant forest. There were all kinds of animals, big and small, and even … people.
An elf-like little girl was squatting by the stream, using a green lotus leaf to carry the clear stream water. She looked to be at most ten years old. She had snow-white hair and amazing snow-white skin. This should have been a delicate and lovely girl, but the two huge crisscrossed scars on her face completely destroyed her beauty. People could not help but sigh at the cruelty of the Creator.
The girl held the lotus leaf, stepped on the soft grass, and walked towards a young man lying on the ground. The young man lay there without making a sound. His face was calm, and he had a perfect face that would make people envious. However, his face was excessively pale, and it was the color of someone who had just recovered from a serious illness.
The young girl squatted down in front of him, held the lotus leaf in her hands, and drank a mouthful of water from the stream. Then, she used her small hands to part the man's pale lips, bent down, and pressed her tender lips against his. Using the most gentle movements, she carefully transferred the water from her mouth into his mouth bit by bit, as if he was a glass doll that would shatter at the slightest touch.
"Big brother, you will definitely wake up, you will definitely …"
A teardrop fell from her eyes and fell into the clear water in the lotus leaf, making a small splash. In the past two years, she had shed countless tears, as if they would never dry up. The girl drank another mouthful of water and gently fed it to him.
There was no night here, only day. So she didn't know how long she had been here. She only knew that it had been a very, very long time … Waiting for him to wake up in worry and fear was an unbearable torture.
After feeding him water, she went to the stream and scooped up some water for herself. After walking back, she put the lotus leaf to the side, and foolishly bit the man's face with her watery lips a few times. She said in a small voice, "Brother, I'm going to go pick some fruit. Wait for me for a little bit, just a little bit."
Every time this happened, she would say goodbye to him like this. In the past two years, she had repeated this countless times. She looked back three times with every step, and then she finally ran with small steps. Because the faster she ran, the earlier she could return.
In the northern forest, there were all kinds of wild fruits that she had never seen before. There were many small animals here, and they were also very docile, but she didn't dare to kill them. The young man's condition was also completely unable to eat meat, so these wild fruits had become the only food they had been relying on for a long time.
This forest was very big, and she didn't dare to go too deep because she was afraid of getting lost. If that happened, there would be no one to feed him water and fruits. As for what was on the other side of the forest, she didn't know at all.
The more fruits she ate, the fewer fruits she ate. When she could no longer directly reach out to pick them, she had no choice but to learn to climb trees. As a result, her arms, calves, and even her face were scratched by the branches, and she didn't know how many times she fell from the tree. After a long time, her pair of snow white hands had been rubbed with thick calluses. The old injuries faded, but new injuries would appear. Fortunately, as time passed, she became more and more proficient. The injuries became fewer and fewer, but the calluses on her hands became thicker and thicker.
After a period of time, she used her skirt to carry a few fruits and jogged back. Every day, no matter how many she picked, she didn't allow herself to leave him for too long. Almost as soon as she passed the time she could bear, her heart would start to panic, and then she would anxiously rush back. The thing she feared the most was that he would suddenly disappear. The happiest thing was that he would suddenly wake up.
He was the reason for the young girl to live, otherwise, she would rather die. Every second of her life, she waited for him to wake up. No one would disturb them here, and this would become a world that only belonged to the two of them.
The young girl came to the stream and washed the fruits. She came to the youth's side, knelt down, and softly said in his ear: "Big brother, I'm so useless, I only found three very sweet fruits. Next time, I will definitely work harder. "
She picked up a very big blue fruit, then sat down, placed the lotus leaf between her legs, and took a long bite of the fruit. Then, she used her small hands to forcefully squeeze it, squeezing out the blue juice onto the lotus leaf. After squeezing one, she used her small mouth to feed him. The juice was cool and sweet, but she couldn't bear to swallow it herself.
Only after the three large blue fruits were "eaten" by him did the girl pick up the two hard green fruits and eat them. The taste was very sour, and very astringent.
There was a drop of blue juice left on the man's lips. The young girl was startled. She bent down, stretched out her small tongue, and gently licked it, enjoying the sweet taste. Then, she continued to nibble on the hard green fruit in her hand.
This white-haired young girl was Ningxue, who fell into the Broken Soul Abyss with Ye Wuchen.
It had been two years, but she didn't change at all, and didn't grow up at all. She was still that petite and pure young girl. It was just that in these two years, she had become strong. No matter how much pain, how hungry, or how bitter she was, she wouldn't cry out, and wouldn't shed a single tear. Only in front of Ye Wuchen, would she always be unable to stop her tears from overflowing.
Two years ago, she gently floated down with a gust of wind, and wasn't hurt in the slightest, while Ye Wuchen's body fiercely smashed onto the ground. The Broken Soul Abyss was too high, and the speed at which he fell was too fast. His body directly smashed into the grass, and his body completely submerged into the cold soil. His blood quickly dyed the surrounding ground red. If it was an ordinary person, his body would have already been broken into pieces, and there would be no chance of survival.
Ningxue cried at the top of her lungs, and used her hands to claw at the ground beside him in despair. She pulled at his body, but she could only feel his body slowly becoming colder … and colder. She lay on his body, and cried with all her might. She cried until her voice was hoarse, and she cried until she fainted … She didn't see that the gushing tears had drenched Ye Wuchen's deathly pale face, and a lot of it had inadvertently flowed into his mouth …
Ningxue woke up in deep despair, and the first thing she did after waking up was to look at his face, and touch his face … From his face, she suddenly felt warmth. At that time, it was as if she had grabbed onto the last life-saving straw in her despair. She cried and called out "brother", and used her hands to claw at the ground around him … After an unknown amount of time, she finally carefully pulled out his body.
She sensed his weak breathing, and the same weak heartbeat. She hugged his neck, and cried and laughed at the same time. Then, she carefully took off the clothes on Ye Wuchen's body, and fed him water from the nearby stream. She washed his body, and then used her little tongue to lick every wound on his body, because her brother had taught her that saliva could speed up the healing of wounds.
And so, in the end, Ye Wuchen didn't die. Instead, he kept on maintaining his weak breath, and slept under Ningxue's care. She didn't know when he would wake up, or maybe, he would never wake up.
Not only was there no night here, there was also no spring, summer, autumn, or winter. It was always the same temperature, and the same green grass. There was no rain, and no lightning. This was a completely isolated world that was different from the outside world.
The already tired Ningxue lay down beside Ye Wuchen, and curled up her body close to him. She put one of his arms on her, closed her eyes, and very soon, she fell into a deep sleep. In her dreams, she would always dream that her brother would suddenly wake up.
In the past, it was Ye Wuchen who took care of and protected Ningxue. And in these two years, it was Ningxue who took care of and protected him. Aside from going out to look for food, she almost never left his side, not letting him leave her sight. Every day, she would wash him, and massage his body to prevent his body from becoming stiff after lying down for too long. She would often lie beside him, and tell him stories of their past. She always believed that, he would definitely wake up very soon.
The green grass was faint, and there were only the two of them in this world. The light breeze and flowing water made up all the sounds in this world.
Right at this moment, the pinky of Ye Wuchen's right hand suddenly moved imperceptibly, and then there was no sound again.
