The sound of footsteps echoed in the quiet courtyard and corridors. There was a chill in the cold night that seemed to linger on, just like this world that was always covered in darkness.
But fortunately, there would always be sunlight after the night. Although there were many darkness, there would always be warmth in life. Lu Chen subconsciously tightened his clothes. He did not know why, but his heart was beating faster. He did not know why he thought of Yi Xin.
It hadn't been a long time since he had first met this girl, but they had experienced a lot of things. There were many times when Lu Chen felt that Yi Xin was a bit stupid. He was used to looking down at her and teasing her, joking with her.
But now that he thought about it, Lu Chen suddenly realized that in these days, every time Yi Xin smiled at him, the sky was bright and the air was warm. It was never him taking care of her. It had always been that young girl giving warmth to the lonely shadow that was struggling in the cold darkness.
She had unknowingly pulled him out of the darkness slightly, letting him feel that little bit of warmth under the light. Perhaps it was not much, but it was precious. It was like a ray of light shining through the dark clouds. Although it was not strong, it was enough to illuminate the darkness.
He slowly walked forward. Suddenly, he saw a black shadow lying on the ground in the corridor. It was a person lying on the ground, motionless.
The night was too dark and the moonlight could not shine here. It was faint and blurry. Lu Chen could not see the person's face, but his heart suddenly beat faster. He felt that the figure was somewhat familiar.
His mouth was dry. Was it nervousness or fear?
Lu Chen did not know and did not have time to think about it. He held his breath and slowly walked over. Suddenly, he found that the smell of blood in the surroundings suddenly became stronger. It was coming from the person lying on the ground.
An ominous premonition slammed into his heart, but perhaps his years as a shadow had long tempered his will into steel. As if he had lost the soft emotions of an ordinary person, Lu Chen did not scream or even lose his mind. He was like a cold and emotionless shadow as he slowly and cautiously squatted down beside the person and reached out to flip her over.
When his hand touched that person's body, he suddenly felt a moist sensation on his hand. Immediately after, that person's body moved a little and suddenly raised his head. He looked at Lu Chen and called out, "Brother Lu?"
Lu Chen's body trembled. Looking at Yi Xin's pale face, he suddenly felt his body relax, as if there was a heavy burden on his heart. He was even slightly absent-minded for a moment before bursting into laughter.
Yi Xin looked at him strangely and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Lu Chen's tears seemed to be coming out from his laughter. He waved his hand and said, "Nothing, nothing, I just want to laugh when I see you."
Yi Xin mumbled something, no one knew what she was saying.
Lu Chen, on the other hand, let out a long sigh of relief. He felt that everything that had happened tonight was insignificant. He felt that the night was very beautiful, the moon was very round. Perhaps the world was not completely dark …
He laughed to himself. Then when he looked down, he saw his palm. The hand that he used to push Yi Xin's body.
His smile suddenly froze on his face.
Under the moonlight, his hand was blood red. His palms and fingers were dripping with fresh blood.
…
"The ground is so cold." Yi Xin complained. Then she wanted to sit up. But she had only raised her body halfway when she suddenly lost her support and fell backwards.
Lu Chen caught her and let Yi Xin lean into his arms.
He glanced at Yi Xin's body. Her clothes were intact and there seemed to be no wounds. Then he looked at his own body. The clothes on his chest that she was leaning on were soaked with blood in just a short while.
His face suddenly paled. He looked even paler than Yi Xin's face. There was almost no blood. He carefully held Yi Xin and moved his body forward a little. Then he looked at her back.
His gaze was stunned.
His body began to tremble slightly. Then he was silent. He slowly stretched out his hands and once again embraced Yi Xin in his arms.
Yi Xin leaned comfortably on Lu Chen's chest and let out a long sigh. Her voice sounded a little low, but there was still some of her initial naivety. She said, "What happened? You don't seem to have any strength left."
Lu Chen gently hugged her. His lips moved slightly. Then he said softly, "It's okay. I just need to rest for a while."
Yi Xin said, "Oh." She looked very obedient. It seemed that she had returned to the time when she was with Lu Chen in the Land of Chaos. She was obedient to everything he said.
Lu Chen looked at her. A deep and inexplicable pain flashed through his eyes. But his expression seemed to be calm. He said as if nothing had happened, "Why are you lying on the ground?"
"I don't know." Yi Xin pouted. She looked a little angry. But soon, it seemed that she didn't even have the strength to be angry. She sighed and said, "I promised Sister Su that I would help her take care of Sumo in the guest room …"
"Su, Mo." Lu Chen closed his eyes and slowly said these two words. It was as if he was gritting his teeth and the sound came through the gaps between his teeth.
"Yes, it's him." Yi Xin said, "He took the medicine and has been sleeping. Then... well, it seemed to thunder, and he began to shout gibberish, but then he was all right again. I'm still standing here. I think of you, Brother Lu … Oh, the moon is good today! Hey, why, why is there a moon? Isn't it raining … Why did I faint? I don't know. "
Her voice became softer and softer. Her eyes began to close slowly. It seemed that she was very tired.
Lu Chen looked at the girl in his arms. He seemed to have thousands of words in his heart, but he couldn't say a word.
Yi Xin's slender eyelashes moved. She opened her eyes again and said softly, "Why do I feel a little uncomfortable?"
Lu Chen stood up silently. He carried Yi Xin and walked forward, leaving this dark world. Then he said calmly, "It's nothing. You're a little injured."
"Injured?" Yi Xin seemed a little surprised. But she seemed to be too tired. She didn't think to see where she was injured.
"Yes." Lu Chen repeated gently to her. Then he smiled and said, "It's just a small injury. It's nothing."
"Oh, I don't want it." Yi Xin suddenly cried softly.
"Don't what?" Lu Chen asked her. At the same time, he had already walked out of the corridor and walked down the mountain.
Yi Xin frowned. She seemed to be afraid and disgusted. She pouted and said, "I don't want that kind of bug. You used to always put bugs on me. It's disgusting."
Lu Chen's footsteps paused. He continued to walk forward. At the same time, he said softly, "Okay, don't put that bug juice on me. Besides, I can't find that kind of thing now."
Yi Xin suddenly seemed happy. She smiled. But her whole body slowly leaned against his chest. She said softly, "Brother Lu, I'm a little cold."
Lu Chen's hands tightened. He held her in his arms. At the same time, a drop of water fell on Yi Xin's white face.
Yi Xin's eyes seemed to be a little blurry. But she still felt it. She shook her head and said, "Hey, it's raining. Or are you crying? Brother Lu?"
"Nonsense. I've killed countless people. I have a heart of stone for more than ten years. How could I cry?" Lu Chen said with a smile. He walked forward. Then, a drop of water fell from his cheek and fell on Yi Xin's chest.
"Oh." Yi Xin answered. She seemed to completely believe Lu Chen's words. But after a moment, she asked again, "Brother Lu, can you cure my injury?"
"I said it's a small matter. The medicine will cure it. Don't worry!" Lu Chen said.
"But I don't want to stay here." Yi Xin said.
"I'll take you away!" Lu Chen said immediately. His tone was as firm as steel, as if this was the right thing to do, as if everything was only natural.
"Where do you want to go?" Lu Chen asked.
Yi Xin's head was completely leaning on his chest. Her eyes were slightly closed. Her face was so pale that it seemed to be transparent. The breath in her mouth was also weak. But it seemed that she still didn't want to sleep. She still wanted to talk. So she persisted and woke up again. She forced her eyes open and smiled at Lu Chen.
"I want to see my parents." Yi Xin said.
"Let's go now." Lu Chen held her and suddenly sped up. But after a moment, he suddenly felt something. He looked down and saw that Yi Xin's eyes were open. She was staring at his face.
"What's wrong?" Lu Chen suddenly didn't dare to look at this pair of pure and clear eyes. He looked away.
Then, he heard Yi Xin whisper, "Brother Lu, you lied to me again."
"I didn't …"
Yi Xin suddenly interrupted him and said, "I saw it. You were crying so sadly."
Under the moonlight, the man's face was covered in tears!
He shook his head and gritted his teeth, trying to laugh. But each laugh turned into a hoarse whimper. He wanted to beat his chest and yell at her, but he didn't dare to look at her eyes again.
Under the moonlight, he held the girl and staggered forward. He was like a stray dog that had lost its home. He crazily wanted to grasp the last bit of hope, but in the end, he couldn't stop the girl and that warmth from leaving.
Her pale hand reached out and Yi Xin wiped his face, wiping away some of the tears. Then she complained to herself, although her voice was very soft and low.
"Ai, I haven't even gone to the Heaven Vault Cloud Realm. In the end, even the mountain has collapsed. How boring …"
Her voice gradually became lower and finally couldn't be heard.
Lu Chen's footsteps instantly stopped. He watched as that hand slid down from his face and weakly slid to the girl's side.
He was dumbfounded.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the deep night sky, as well as the cold moon.
The black fire once again burned fiercely in his eyes. A terrifying and ice-cold murderous intent leaped out from the darkness like the shadow of a demon, emitting a soundless howl towards the darkness!
The night, the deeper it got, the colder it got.
