From Hanqiu City to Fengyang City, this young man and woman had traveled the entire journey. Although they were not as intimate as ordinary lovers, their expressions and movements were already much more natural.
Mu Jiushi stood at Bie Tianxin's side, very naturally leaning against his chest.
Even though this had happened several times already, Bie Tianxin still felt very excited, his heartbeat quickening.
Mu Jiushi gave a rather mischievous smile as if she found this very amusing. She extended a small hand as white as jade and pressed it against his chest.
Beneath her palm was his heart.
Bie Tianxin naturally did not care about her actions, but in the next moment, his expression suddenly turned abnormally solemn.
A freak dressed in blue and wearing a copper mask had appeared in their room at some point.
Bie Tianxin's pupils constricted at the sight of this blue-clothed stranger.
Just who was this person that had been able to noiselessly enter their room? Neither he nor Mu Jiushi had sensed anything.
The blue-clothed stranger had not released all of his Qi, but Bie Tianxin could already faintly guess at his true cultivation level. His temples became slightly damp.
He was only at the Star Condensation Realm, but his parents were both experts of the Divine Domain, so his experience far surpassed that of his peers.
As he traveled the world, Bie Tianxin had never worried about his safety, because no one dared to show him any disrespect.
If there was anyone in the world that dared to risk the wrath of two experts of the Divine Domain to attack him, it could only be another expert of the Divine Domain.
Bie Tianxin did not know who this blue-clothed stranger was, nor did he know why he had come to find him, but he sensed an extreme danger.
"Hurry and leave. Don't worry about me."
Bie Tianxin stared at the blue-clothed stranger and said to Mu Jiushi in his arms.
A rather strange expression appeared on Mu Jiushi's face, a faint smile that seemed moved and yet also like ridicule.
But she did not leave, nor did she ask anything. Even her palm remained on his chest.
Bie Tianxin found this rather strange, but his attention was completely focused on the blue-clothed stranger and he had no time to worry about this. Moreover, he still had an important matter to attend to.
After all, he was the son of Wuqiong Bi and Bie Yanghong. Although he was not as exaggerated as Luoluo, he still carried a few powerful magical artifacts with him as he travelled the world.
For instance, he was currently hiding a magical artifact in his sleeve. This magical artifact could not defeat an expert of the Divine Domain, but it could form a divine boundary that could help him hold on for a while. At the same time, when this magical artifact was activated, his parents would sense it, no matter how far away they were.
This was also why he could maintain his composure and allow Mu Jiushi to leave first.
But in the next moment, he could no longer maintain his composure. His face instantly became abnormally pale, because he discovered that there was a problem with the magic tool hidden in his sleeve.
A looming but unbreakable aura appeared around the restaurant. It must have been set up by the strange man in cyan to prevent any possibility of him sending a message.
But what about that magic tool? Why did something go wrong at such a crucial moment?
He gazed at Mu Jiushi in his embrace, feeling her increasingly cold hands on his chest. He vaguely guessed at something, his eyes revealing pain and disbelief.
"Why?"
This was the question that Bie Tianxin wanted to know the answer to the most.
Mu Jiushi raised her small face to him and mischievously stuck out the tip of her tongue. Smiling, she said, "Because I've never liked you."
Bie Tianxin heard the answer, but he still found it hard to believe. His body began to tremble from anger and sorrow, his voice trembling as he asked, "Is that so?"
"I never let you tell anyone, including your parents, precisely because I never wanted to be together with you."
Mu Jiushi straightened her body, her petite hands still tightly pressed against his chest as if she was somewhat greedy for his warmth.
"I'll let a pitiful person like you die a little more understanding. Back then, I went with you to Hanqiu City precisely so that you and Chen Changsheng would meet and then kill you. But because of a few things at the time, it was inconvenient for us to act, so we delayed until now. In truth, if you carefully thought about it, you could tell that this was a trap, but you were too stupid."
She jeered, "What right do you have to marry me? I'm someone who's going to be Pope. "
Seeing the expression on her face, Bie Tianxin awoke from his previous fear and unease, leaving only pain and anger. He muttered, "So you wanted to frame Chen Changsheng and have the continent fall into endless civil strife. Presumably, all of this was your Mu clan's trap. This means that there was also a problem with Madam Mu going to White Emperor City back then."
Mu Jiushi had not expected that on the verge of death, this hedonistic scion that she had always looked down upon would suddenly become much more clear-headed and rational. She couldn't help but be rather surprised.
But now that matters had reached this step, there was no longer any possibility of change.
"Of course, just what sort of person is my older sister? She's the most intelligent genius of my clan, so how could she be forced to leave the Great Western Continent over something like the imperial throne?"
Mu Jiushi calmly said, "That brother-in-law of mine was a hero of his generation, but in the end, he still couldn't overcome the barrier of a beauty and was deceived by my sister for so many years. Although you can't compare to my brother-in-law, it seems that you're not too bad. Please die in peace. I promise you that I will remember the good you've done for me in these past few days."
Bie Tianxin stared into her eyes and said, "If you want to frame Chen Changsheng, no one will believe you."
Mu Jiushi softly said, "Everyone knows that you were killed by the Black Dragon."
After saying this, her small hand suddenly exuded an extremely pure and frigid Qi.
Bie Tianxin's body was instantly frozen, unable to move.
He noticed that her eyes had become abnormally deep and serene, like a cold lake.
He understood what Mu Jiushi was planning to do, and how she was planning to frame Chen Changsheng.
Mu Jiushi calmly gazed at him, the chill surging out of her palm growing thicker and thicker.
Bie Tianxin's body and mind went cold, perhaps because of this deep cold Qi, or because of her heartlessness and callousness.
Frost covered his eyelashes, making them look like icicles hanging from the trees of the north. It was somewhat beautiful, but also somewhat sorrowful.
He stared at Mu Jiushi's face like he wanted to forever engrave this beautiful, pure, and incomparably malicious face into his memory.
"I will not go to the sea of stars, I will go to the abyss. I will never forget you. I will always wait there for you to come."
These were Bie Tianxin's final words.
After saying this, he closed his eyes and stopped breathing.
His Ethereal Palace, star openings, meridians, and even his flesh and blood had all been frozen into crystals by the frigid cold, devoid of life.
After some time, Mu Jiushi's palm finally left his chest.
She gazed at Bie Tianxin, now a true ice sculpture, in silence for a very long time, her face somewhat pale.
Perhaps it was because this deep cold Qi had consumed too much of her true essence, or perhaps it was because of Bie Tianxin's final words before his death.
