Shi Sheng was sent flying by the shockwave and crashed into the city wall behind her. Her ears were ringing and it took her a while to recover.
Shi Sheng's heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
It sounded like the beating of a drum.
She stared blankly at the epicenter of the explosion.
It was empty, with only black dust falling from the sky.
Many people were affected by the explosion just now, and for a moment, screams and wails filled the air.
The scene around her seemed to be in slow motion as it flashed before Shi Sheng's eyes frame by frame.
The sky suddenly darkened, and she seemed to hear someone calling for the Hall Master.
The voice was panicked and hoarse.
It penetrated her eardrums and went straight to the depths of her soul.
Shi Sheng struggled to move her eyes, but all she saw was gray.
"The Hall Master is here, Hall Master …"
Shi Sheng suddenly got up and ran over, pushing aside the people blocking her way. She immediately saw a red figure with his head held by someone.
He was in a sorry state, but his chest was rising and falling, proving that he was still alive.
"Bu Jingyun." Shi Sheng's voice was trembling. She squatted down and looked at the blood-drenched man. She was suddenly at a loss, and all her calmness collapsed at this moment.
She didn't need anyone to shield her.
She didn't need …
Bu Jingyun's eyes opened a slit, and there seemed to be a dazzling flash of light in his eyes.
The Enforcer was stuffing all kinds of pills into his mouth, but to no avail.
"Hall Master …" The Enforcer was on the verge of tears. These were all the best healing pills, why didn't they work?
"Yao …" He suddenly raised his hand and stretched it toward Shi Sheng. Shi Sheng hurriedly grabbed his hand.
"Don't speak, I won't let you die." She said as she took something out of her space.
But no matter what she did, Bu Jingyun didn't seem to get any better. Those things had no effect on him.
Shi Sheng stared blankly at him. How could this be?
This was probably the most unruly Bu Jingyun had ever seen her, but it was for him. Thinking about it, he felt quite honored.
His lips curled into a smile, and his voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. "Can … can you kiss me again?"
Shi Sheng stared blankly for a moment, then seemed to remember something. She leaned forward and kissed Bu Jingyun, sending a steady stream of spiritual energy into his body.
Just as her spiritual energy entered Bu Jingyun's body, a throbbing sensation spread from her heart, and a familiar aura washed over her.
She widened her eyes in disbelief.
However, the person she was kissing had already stopped breathing. He was lying peacefully in her arms with a smile on his face, as if he had just fallen asleep.
After a long while, her lips moved and she spat out a name with great difficulty.
"Feng … Feng Ci …"
The Shi Sheng forbade anyone from touching Bu Jingyun. Even the Enforcers did not dare to use force against him.
She disappeared with Bu Jingyun in tow.
…
On top of the cliff, the girl stood quietly, allowing the wind to blow against her cheeks.
The red-robed man was quietly leaning against a rock beside him. His head was slightly tilted, and his red robes fluttered in the wind.
If not for the fact that he was already dead, anyone who saw him would think that he was still alive.
Shi Sheng's body was ice-cold. Her eyes were empty as she stared at the distant town. A strange feeling ran through her body like an electric current, and her mind went blank.
[Host?]
"Feng Ci …" Shi Sheng's lips moved, but it was extremely difficult for her to speak. "Is it him?"
[…] The System was silent for a moment. [Host, how did you know?]
Shi Sheng's breath caught, and she felt as if something had exploded in her mind. She felt as if she had heard the sound of a landslide, and her chest felt uncomfortably tight.
How did she know?
When she sent her spiritual energy into Bu Jingyun's body just now, it actually resonated with him.
She had only felt that resonance with one person before.
— Feng Ci.
Because of the strange thing he had given her, her spiritual energy resonated with Feng Ci's. It was a very comfortable feeling. When Feng Ci was free, he liked to send his spiritual energy into her body, so she was very familiar with that feeling and would never forget it.
But now, she felt it from Bu Jingyun's body.
"He … why is he here?" Shi Sheng tried her best to control her emotions, but her voice still trembled.
She thought that she could treat Feng Ci as a virtual character, just like the people she had met before. They were all strangers who had nothing to do with her.
But she realized that she couldn't. She couldn't do it.
Every time in the dead of night, he would silently appear in her dazzling dreams.
The image of him jumping off the peak of the North Mountain with her in his arms was like a nightmare that tormented her. She even had the crazy thought of returning to that world.
But in the end, reason prevailed over madness.
[I'm sorry, Host. I have no right to answer you. You have to rely on yourself.] The System was relieved. Fortunately, the Host wasn't really that heartless. She hid her feelings so deeply that even the System couldn't sense them.
But it still couldn't understand why Feng Ci was different to her.
How did she know? Clearly, before …
Shi Sheng didn't say anything else. She quietly looked into the distance. She had already suppressed the surging emotions in her eyes, and had regained her eternal calm.
It was as if the person who had almost lost control just now wasn't her.
The sky was gloomy, and bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky. In the blink of an eye, it became a downpour, blurring the girl's slender figure in the rain.
She suddenly crouched down and buried her head in her arms. The sound of the rain drowned out all other sounds. She just crouched there quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, the rain continued to pour. The girl stood up, walked to the red-robed man's side, and picked him up.
She slowly turned around and walked towards the edge of the cliff.
She took a step towards the void, and her body suddenly fell.
[… …] Is the Host seeking death?
Of course, Shi Sheng wouldn't seek death. Halfway through her fall, the Iron Sword suddenly appeared and caught her.
Shi Sheng brought Bu Jingyun back to Nine Silences Hall and held a funeral for him. Then, she took the Iron Sword and left Nine Silences Hall.
Not long after, news of her came from the continent.
She said that she would give this continent to him.
Even if he wasn't here.
This promise was still valid.
Everyone who met Shi Sheng thought that she was crazy. She didn't care about whether she would die or not.
She was injured and bleeding, and her life was hanging by a thread, but she was still so calm.
It was as if everyone was dead in her eyes. She couldn't hear their curses, couldn't see their anger, and couldn't feel their hatred.
Jun Hanlin had just ascended the throne when Shi Sheng came calling. Jun Hanlin was so angry that he vomited blood.
It took her three years to unify the Nine States Continent.
When the people of the continent saw her put a memorial tablet on the throne, they almost went crazy.
This woman was crazy. She went through so much trouble just to make a memorial tablet the ruler of the continent.
That name caused them to be shocked again.
Bu Jingyun.
