"Chu Li!" Siao Qi quickly stretched out her hand.
Just as Chu Li was about to hit the ground, Xiao Qi reached out to grab him in time and slowly put him down.
Everyone was shocked.
The people in the distance cried out in alarm. They wanted to get closer, but Siao Tieying stopped them after he shouted at them.
Chu Li was lying on the ground motionlessly with his eyes closed.
Mulin quickly grabbed his wrist and pressed on it.
Xiao Qi pressed on his other wrist.
Both of them frowned and looked at each other.
Siao Tieying quickly asked, "Are you alright?"
"Try using the Spirit Blessing Pill!" Mulin furrowed his brows. He took out a white jade porcelain from his pocket, poured out a Spirit Blessing Pill and pressed it into Chu Li's mouth.
Chu Li's lips were tightly shut, but Guo Mulin's acupuncture point on his cheek did not work.
"Come here, pry open his mouth!" Mulin said anxiously.
Siao Tieying shouted, "Lin Quan!"
Lin Quan nodded and went to pry open Chu Li's mouth with Siao Tieying.
They were afraid of hurting Chu Li's lips, so they did not dare to use too much force and were very careful.
Mulin said impatiently, "Look at the situation now. Pry open his mouth. If his lips are broken, so be it!"
Xiao Qi said, "Big Brother, don't waste any more time. Chu Li has stopped beating."
When Siao Tieying heard this, he hurriedly exerted strength in his hands and forcefully pried open a slit.
Mulin hurriedly pressed the Spirit Blessing Pill into Chu Li's body. His inner energy was injected into Chu Li's body, but it immediately dissipated. Chu Li's body was completely lifeless. He was dead.
Guo Mulin loosened his grip. His face was so gloomy that it looked like it was about to drip water. He threw the white jade bottle onto the ground, and it shattered into pieces.
Xiao Qi channeled her inner energy, but Chu Li's body did not respond at all. This tiny bolt of lightning had killed Chu Li in an instant. He was completely dead.
"Third Younger Sister?" Siao Shi looked at her serious face and quickly said, "Chu Li, he — —?"
Xiao Qi shook her head. "Dead."
"Third Sister!" Siao Shi said, "So many lightning bolts couldn't do anything to him, how could he die!"
When the earth-shattering Heavenly Thunder struck earlier, Chu Li was unscathed. However, he was killed instantly after being struck by a small bolt of lightning. This was too unbelievable!
Siao Tieying checked Chu Li's breathing and heartbeat. He tried channeling again and shook his head at Siao Shi, "Second sister, Chu Li really went there."
"Impossible!" Siao Shi shouted.
Siao Tieying sighed, "When he cast the Purloin, he knew that this would happen. Don't be too sad! "
"Big brother, there must be a way to save him!" Siao Shi turned her head and looked at Guo Mulin, "Elder Guo, is there no secret skill that can save him?"
"The dead can't come back to life," Mulin scoffed coldly, "Chu Li has gone against the will of Heaven. He will be punished by Heaven. No one can save him!"
Siao Tieying said, "Second sister. Your body is weak, don't be too sad. "
"I just think it's unfair." Siao Shi looked at Chu Li and sighed, "His death was not worth it!"
"As long as he thinks it's worth it," Xiao Qi replied.
Siao Shi sighed, "He was smart and capable. If he were alive, he would have contributed greatly to the Public House. Yet, he chose to save a useless person like me …"
"Who said you're useless!" Siao Tieying frowned, "Second sister, don't talk nonsense! Chu Li died to save you. The only thing we can do now is to give him a proper burial. There's no point talking about anything else. Go and rest first! "
The surrounding people were all discussing it. They found it hard to believe.
Chu Li rose like a comet. He was a legend in the Public House. Now, he had fallen just like that. He could survive the earth-shattering thunder and lightning, but he died under the last tiny lightning bolt.
Siao Tieying looked at the calm Siao Qi and sighed, "Third sister, my condolences!"
He knew that the person who was the most upset was his third sister. The calmer she appeared, the more emotional she was. She used her heart technique to suppress it.
Siao Qi said calmly, "I want to send him off personally."
"Go." Siao Tieying nodded.
Siao Qi bent down and lifted Chu Li up. They slowly walked out. The people automatically made way for them and watched them quietly. They all sighed in their hearts.
Siao Qi jumped onto a small boat. Soon, they arrived at the Jade Guardian Island and went straight to the Glory's Will Courtyard.
Xue Ling opened the door and saw the scene. She widened her eyes and shouted, "Master!"
Siao Qi entered the courtyard without saying a word and put Chu Li under the Glory's Will Tree.
There was still a glimmer of hope in her heart. The Glory's Will Tree was strange. Chu Li especially liked to stay under it. Maybe the Glory's Will Tree could save his life.
"Master, he …?" Xue Ling's face was pale and her voice was trembling.
Siao Qi looked up at him, "He's dead."
"How … how …" Xue Ling was in disbelief, "Master's Light-body Technique is so powerful …"
"No matter how good his Light-body Technique is, he can't stop God." Siao Qi shook her head and said, "Don't cry. Go and get a cushion."
"Yes." Xue Ling clenched her teeth to stop herself from crying.
She went into the house and got a few cushions. She laid them under the Glory's Will Tree and moved Chu Li onto the cushion. She looked at his calm face in a daze. Sorrow came from her heart and tears streamed down her face.
Siao Qi sat beside Chu Li without saying a word. Scenes of the past flashed through her mind. She channeled to suppress her surging emotions.
After a while, Suru suddenly opened the door and came in, "My Lady, Chu Li …?"
Siao Qi did not say a word. She sat still like a jade statue.
Suru looked at Xue Ling who was crying and lowered her head. She went forward to touch Chu Li's wrist.
"My Lady …"
"Don't talk. Be quiet!"
Suru sighed and stood aside. She only stared at Chu Li, hoping that he would suddenly open his eyes and smile at her.
Time passed slowly. The sun was setting and the twilight was rising. The lanterns were lit.
The air in the Glory's Will Courtyard seemed to have frozen. The three women did not move.
A bright moon hung in the night sky. The moonlight fell on them like water.
The moonlight gradually shifted, and then the first rays of dawn appeared. The sun rose, and the night passed without them noticing. Dew dripped onto their clothes.
Suru wiped away the dew on her face and suppressed her sorrow. She said, "My Lady, go back and rest. The dead can't come back to life."
After one night, she had accepted the reality.
Chu Li had indeed left, but she had to continue living her life. She could not let sadness consume her. She had to pull herself together and not fall.
She slowly asked, "My Lady, who killed Chu Li?"
Siao Qi turned her head and looked at her. She said, "No enemies."
"How can there be no enemies?" Suru frowned. "Did he die of illness?"
Siao Qi lazily waved her hand. "You'll know in the future."
She could not lift her body. Even if she used the heart technique to suppress her thoughts, she could not get rid of the loneliness. She did not want to talk, she did not want to move, and she was too lazy to talk.
She took out a silk handkerchief and squatted down to wipe Chu Li's face.
She suddenly looked up and widened her eyes. "My Lady, Master is still warm!"
Siao Qi quickly went forward to check. Chu Li's face was as warm as a normal person's.
Her eyes suddenly brightened. She reached out and touched Chu Li's wrist. She pressed on his chest and nose. She frowned again.
There was still no heartbeat, no breath, but he was not really dead. Otherwise, he would have stiffened.
"Master is not dead, right?" Xue Ling stared at Siao Qi hopefully.
Siao Qi slowly said, "He's not dead!"
Xue Ling let out a long sigh of relief. She went limp and laid on Chu Li's body.
Siao Qi channeled her energy into Chu Li's body but there was still no reaction.
There was no sign of life. However, his body did not stiffen. This gave her a glimmer of hope. It was possible that Chu Li was not really dead. He was just in a state that she did not understand.
Suru's eyes lit up. "My Lady, when will he wake up?"
"I don't know." Siao Qi shook her head. "Don't touch him. Let him stay here!"
"Yes." Xue Ling quickly nodded.
Siao Qi said, "He has to wake up on his own."
She suddenly had a strong feeling that Chu Li could come back to life!
Thinking of this, she jumped up. "Take care of Chu Li!"
When she returned to the Stargazing Tower, she saw Siao Tieying waiting for her on the first floor.
"Third Sister." Siao Tieying raised his hand. "Let's discuss how to bury Chu Li."
"He's not dead." Siao Qi said.
Siao Tieying was stunned. He then shook his head and sighed. He looked at Siao Qi with pity.
