Li Yijie said, "It's not that simple. With the Seven Malevolent Demons' personality, they'll definitely kill us willingly. How could they just let us go? Once the Central Plains falls into their hands, where will we find shelter? At that time, we won't be able to live a peaceful life. Besides, abandoning my brothers and not caring about them is not my style. Could it be that you want me to be a treacherous villain? "At least he was still the Wulin Alliance Leader, leading the various schools and sects to fight to the death. If they really abandoned everything and followed her to wander the world, then the two of them would have no power to rely on and would become targets for others to kill. There would be no room for them to turn around.
As soon as Nangong Xue mentioned this, she was unexpectedly immersed in her thoughts, unable to extricate herself. Her mind was filled with beautiful visions. She said, "If we can't stay in the Central Plains, we'll take a boat out to sea and find a deserted island to live on. At that time, we'll be able to fend for ourselves and won't starve to death. In the past, he wanted to kill you because you obstructed his ambition and opposed him at every turn. If we leave and stop being his enemy, maybe … he won't do anything to us anymore. What do you think? "
Li Yijie said, "Yes, we can leave, but in the Central Plains, there are countless … couples who love each other as much as we do. They will be harmed deeply, their families separated, and their lives will be lost forever. How can we live with that?"
Nangong Xue cried, "There's nothing to be sorry about. When we were being persecuted, who didn't sympathize with us? In this world, there are many people who don't get rewarded for their kindness. I've said it before, we're not saviors. We don't have the obligation to save everyone who's in trouble. When people die, everything becomes nothing. Whether it's praise or insults, it has nothing to do with us anymore. Some people are burdened by false reputation and have their lives ruined for nothing. I'm also not a saint. I can't be kind to everyone. I'm just an ordinary woman who selfishly wants to protect the people I love from harm. I beg you … I beg you … as long as you promise me this time, I'll promise you anything in the future, okay? I'll never quarrel with you, I'll never lose my temper with you, and I'll never be unreasonable … We'll just be husband and wife, a loving couple, a celestial couple … "
Li Yijie sighed and said in his heart, "Xueer is unwilling to part with his feelings for me, after all, it is an ill-fated relationship. I'm afraid that once I leave, she'll be crying all day long. No … I can't hurt her. From now on, I can't be with her anymore. I should let her pursue her true happiness. She couldn't throw it away, so I had to help her forget it. "
His fingers clenched tightly around something in the pocket. Then he thought, "At the last moment, I'll let her be happy again. In any case, when the time comes, all of this will no longer be real to her. "Having made up his mind, he immediately replied," Alright, I promise you. "As he said that, he turned around and looked deeply into her eyes.
Nangong Xue was overjoyed at the unexpected good news. "You … you mean it?" She exclaimed, "You're not lying to me?" Normally, when she was begging, she hoped that the other party would relent. But after being in a deadlock for so long, she was already used to being disappointed. When she heard him agree, she actually wondered if she had heard wrong. Li Yijie smiled gently and said, "Little fool, when have I ever lied to you?"
Nangong Xue couldn't restrain herself and pounced forward to kiss Li Yijie's lips. She was so happy that she didn't do it consciously. When she woke up, she realized that she had done something that made her lose face. She was so embarrassed that her face turned red. Li Yijie was startled, but he reacted at the same time. He held Nangong Xue tightly in his arms and deepened the kiss that was about to disappear.
At first, when their lips touched, they were both nervous. But gradually, they became bolder and bolder, or perhaps they were controlled by their lust and couldn't stop.
Their lips and tongues intertwined, entangling with each other. Nangong Xue's small, lilac tongue wanted to resist, but it also wanted to take the other party to a novel place that they had never experienced before. There, hundreds of flowers bloomed, and even heaven couldn't compare.
Flames surged on their lips, burning from their hearts and spreading all the way. Their cheeks were red, and their bodies were boiling hot, as if they were burning in a raging fire. But at this moment, it was as if after being destroyed, they could become a phoenix rising from the ashes. Even if they were like moths flying into a flame, as long as the two of them joined hands, after being destroyed, the remaining ashes would still entangle with each other, not extinguishing until death, turning into an intoxicating beauty.
This was like a dream. For Li Yijie, it was guilt; for Nangong Xue, it was joy and enjoyment. They both wanted to seize the last moment to make this dream last a little longer. As the saying goes, "Let's hope that we never wake up from this dream."
The two of them hugged each other tighter and tighter, their fingers caressing each other's body. Their arms were like iron hoops, and they wanted nothing more than to rub each other into their own bodies, so that their souls and bodies could become one. Only in this way could they have each other for a long time, and they would never have to face the pain of separation again.
Li Yijie didn't know how long this kiss lasted. He only felt her delicate body in his arms, and the feeling of fullness was intoxicating. Her soft body couldn't help but tremble. He thought that this kiss was their farewell, but it was the path he had chosen. He wasn't a noble savior, but a bastard who hurt the woman he loved. He was filled with regret, and a teardrop fell from the corner of his eye.
Nangong Xue was completely intoxicated when she suddenly felt her cheeks heat up, and then a drop of cold liquid rolled down her cheeks. She didn't know what happened, but when she opened her eyes, she saw Li Yijie's tear-stained eyes. The two of them looked at each other, and suddenly, the flowers around them withered and fell. No matter how much they wanted to stay in this dream, they had to wake up in the end.
Nangong Xue said drunkenly, "Senior Martial Brother, you … why are you crying?" She raised a finger and gently wiped away the tears on his cheeks.
Li Yijie was the first to regain his senses. He used the last of his consciousness to push her away from his arms, but his hands were still on her shoulders. He smiled and said, "Why would I cry? Oh … it's probably because I'm too happy that I'll be able to stay with you for the rest of my life. Also, I think of my brothers. I've promised them time and time again that I'll let them live a happy life. Everyone will have food to eat, clothes to wear, and no longer have to suffer the pain of war … It's a pity that I have to go back on my words. I can't help but feel guilty. "
Nangong Xue knew that her senior martial brother had a strong sense of responsibility, so when she heard him say this, she didn't doubt him anymore. Instead, she felt guilty and said, "Senior Martial Brother, I'm really sorry. It's all because of me … When we can settle down, I'll definitely make it up to you. I definitely won't let you regret your decision today."
Li Yijie thought, "After today, I don't have the right to choose." He didn't want her to make him cry again, so he said, "Okay, but how can I have the heart to bully Xueer? Ay, you see, I've even prepared our luggage. The Heavens probably knew that we'd elope today, so they let me make these arrangements. Can you help me bring my luggage over? We have to leave as soon as possible. We'll take a small path later. Don't let anyone see us, otherwise it'll be hard to explain. "
When Nangong Xue heard the word 'elope', her face turned as red as the rosy clouds of the morning sun. But she thought that if she and her senior martial brother could really elope like ordinary children, what's wrong with that? She nodded, turned around, and went to fetch the luggage with a smile. In her heart, the luggage was a symbol of happiness. As long as she could retrieve it, she would be able to stay with her lover forever.
She probably would never have imagined that heaven and hell were really only one step away. After waking up from a good dream, the cruel reality would inevitably follow. The moment she turned around, Li Yijie's lips moved slightly, and he silently said, "I'm sorry, Xueer." His hand chopped down quickly, mercilessly, and hit the back of Nangong Xue's neck. This move could be said to be fast, accurate, and ruthless.
Nangong Xue was completely unprepared, and her whole body immediately went limp. The moment she fell to the ground, she still had a bit of consciousness left. She completely understood Li Yijie's intentions. There was no hatred in her heart, only endless sorrow. She tried her best to fight against the waves of dizziness, but the waves of golden stars still quickly swallowed her consciousness. Before she completely fell into darkness, a drop of tear slid down from the corner of her eye and fell to the ground. The faint "ding" sound seemed to have completely smashed a hole in her heart that could never be filled.
If her tears a moment ago were a symbol of happiness, then the tears now were the deepest bitterness. She muttered, "Senior … martial brother …" Finally, her arms went limp, and she fell to the ground. Her left hand was still weakly stretched forward, towards the luggage on the square table, as if she was searching for a dream that was within reach, but also far away.
