Xie Lian grabbed him.
Stunned, she said, "San Lang?! What's wrong? "
Hua Cheng was still calm.
"I'm fine. I just overdid it a bit. "
Xie Lian was stunned. "… … Why didn't you tell me earlier? How is this fine?!"
Mana, it's that mana!
When Hua Cheng gave Xie Lian his mana, it always seemed inexhaustible. He smiled as if he didn't feel the slightest burden.
But that was his own mana.
It wasn't sand washed away by the waves.
How could it really be inexhaustible?
He couldn't blame Hua Cheng for not telling him earlier. He could only blame himself for not thinking of it earlier. Xie Lian was regretful and anxious.
"I'll give it back to you."
He held Hua Cheng's face and kissed him. Feng Xin and Mu Qing wanted to come over.
When they saw this, they instantly retreated a few meters.
He let the two of them do it themselves.
The curse had been removed.
He desperately transferred all the mana he could to Hua Cheng, wanting him to recover as soon as possible. But …
He kissed him for a while and then let go.
The red clothes on Hua Cheng's sleeves and the silver bracers were still transparent.
They were even translucent!
Xie Lian was stunned for a while.
Terrified, she subconsciously cupped Hua Cheng's face and wanted to kiss him, but Hua Cheng reacted quickly.
Hua Cheng's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. He held his face and kissed him. "Although I'm happy that Brother is so proactive, you don't have to transfer mana to me. However, if Brother didn't want to borrow mana and just wanted to kiss me, I wouldn't mind at all. The more the better. You're welcome. "
"… …"
Xie Lian grabbed him tightly. He was about to collapse. "What's going on?!"
Hua Cheng said, "It's just a little rest. Brother, don't be afraid."
Xie Lian hugged his head. "How can I not be afraid? I'm about to go crazy! "
With Hua Cheng's temperament, if the problem wasn't so serious that he couldn't hide it, why would he let Xie Lian see him like this?
Just how much magic power was there to be able to cause the two shackles to explode? It wasn't an exaggeration to say that it was as vast as the sea. How could he not be affected at all?
It wasn't easy, it wasn't easy to clear up all the messy matters. He talked it over with Feng Xin and Mu Qing. The curse that had bound him for more than eight hundred years had also been released. Those who had always wanted to be honest with Hua Cheng but didn't dare to were all honest now.
However, when he turned around with a smile on his face, the Flower City that welcomed him had become like this. How could he not be afraid? He was so scared that he was going to go crazy!
Feng Xin and Mu Qing sensed that something was amiss. "Your Highness? What's wrong?! "He took a few steps forward, but for some reason, he stopped halfway. He felt that it was not a good idea to approach recklessly. At this moment, Xie Lian couldn't pay attention to anyone else. He grabbed onto Hua Cheng, his heart about to stop beating. As though he was scared out of his wits, he asked, "What should we do?"
Hua Cheng sighed softly. He stretched out his arms and hugged him again. "Your Highness, I've always been watching over you."
This was the second time he said this, and his voice was softer than before. Xie Lian grabbed the red dress on his chest and said blankly, "I know, I know. But … what should we do now? "
Hua Cheng's slender fingers gently combed through his messy hair. "Your Highness, do you know why I refuse to leave this world?"
Xie Lian couldn't understand why Hua Cheng was still so calm. He was so anxious that he was trembling. However, in his stupor, he still asked somewhat stupidly, "Why?"
Hua Cheng said in a low voice, "Because I still have someone I love in this world."
Hearing this, Xie Lian was slightly stunned.
He seemed to have heard this sentence somewhere before.
Hua Cheng continued, "My sweetheart is a courageous and noble person of noble birth. He saved my life. I looked up to him since I was very young. However, I want to catch up to him and become a better and stronger person for him. Although, he probably doesn't even remember me. We haven't even exchanged a few words. I want to protect him. "
He gazed at Xie Lian and said, "If your dream is to save the world, then my dream is only you."
"…"
Xie Lian relied on his memory and asked with a trembling voice, "But … if that's the case, you won't be able to rest in peace …?"
Hua Cheng answered, "I don't want to rest in peace."
In that instant, Xie Lian's breathing stopped. He could vaguely hear two voices, one asking and the other answering.
"If your beloved knew that you couldn't rest in peace because of him, he would probably feel vexed and guilty."
"Then I won't let him know why I'm not leaving."
"You'll know once you've seen enough."
"Then I won't let him know that I'm protecting him."
That ball of will-o '-wisp. The lantern, the weak will-o '-wisp that he bought at night. The will-o '-wisp that tried to pull him out of the grave in the cold winter night. The will-o '-wisp that stopped Bai WuXiang from approaching the dangerous place. The will-o '-wisp that screamed for him in the era of the Hundred Swords Piercing the Heart!
Hua Cheng said softly, "Your Highness, I know everything about you.
"Your bravery, your despair; your kindness, your pain; your resentment, your hatred; your cleverness, your stupidity.
"If possible, I would like you to treat me as a stepping stone, a bridge to be torn down after crossing the river, a corpse to be trampled on when climbing up, a sinner who deserves to be hacked to pieces. But I know you won't. "
As he spoke, the red glow on his clothes dimmed.
Xie Lian's hands trembled as he grabbed onto him. He didn't stop channeling energy into him, nor could he stop Hua Cheng's figure from fading away.
His eyes blurred as he stammered, "… Alright, don't say anymore, I understand … But, but don't be like this, San Lang. I … I borrowed a lot of energy from you and haven't returned it. Also, I haven't finished what I wanted to say just now, there's still a lot left. No one has listened to me for so many years, you will stay, right? You really … don't be like this. I can't stand it, San Lang. I really can't stand it. Twice, it's already been twice! I don't want it to happen a third time!!! "
Hua Cheng had already disappeared from this world twice for him!
However, Hua Cheng said, "Dying in battle for you is my greatest honor."
"… …"
This sentence was like a fatal blow to Xie Lian. He couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes anymore.
He seemed to be grasping at straws, "You said you wouldn't leave."
Hua Cheng said, "All good things must come to an end."
Xie Lian deeply buried his head. His chest and throat were in pain, and he couldn't speak.
Then, he heard Hua Cheng say from above him, "But I will never leave you."
Hearing this, Xie Lian suddenly raised his head.
Hua Cheng said to him, "I will be back. Your Highness, believe me. "
Although his voice was firm, his pale face began to fade and become transparent. Xie Lian reached out his hand, wanting to touch this face, but his fingertips passed through it. He was stunned for a moment before he raised his head again.
Hua Cheng's gaze was gentle and passionate. His remaining eye was filled with love as he silently stared at him. He seemed to be saying something, but there was no sound. Xie Lian refused to give up. He reached out his hands and hugged him, wanting to hear it clearly.
But before he could use any strength, the person he was hugging disappeared.
In front of him, Hua Cheng instantly shattered into thousands of silver butterflies, turning into a dazzling starry wind that couldn't be hugged or held.
Xie Lian's hands hugged empty air. He maintained his hugging posture, not moving an inch. He didn't know if it was because he couldn't react or because he couldn't move, but he knelt in the dreamlike butterfly formation with his eyes wide open.
Below him, Feng Xin and Mu Qing never expected such a scene to occur. Both of their faces paled as they rushed up and said, "Your Highness!"
Feng Xin was the first to rush up and said, "How could this suddenly happen?! Wasn't everything fine just now? Was it because of the curse?! "
Mu Qing limped and jumped twice, but he couldn't jump up. He raised his head and shouted towards those silver butterflies, "Blood Rain Tanhua! Don't joke around! If you're not dead, hurry up and come out! "
Those silver butterflies obviously wouldn't answer him. One after another, they fluttered their wings and flew towards the sky. Feng Xin reached out to pull Xie Lian, but Xie Lian sat on the ground and refused to get up. Feng Xin also didn't know what to do. He said, "Is there anything we can help with? Do we need spiritual power? Can we save him? What should we do??? "
However, Mu Qing had already seen through him and said, "Forget it, you should shut up! — — There's no need to do anything. "
The sky was filled with sparkling lights and butterfly wings. It was as if they were reunited for the first time after eight hundred years.
A silver butterfly faintly flew past and touched the back of his hand, his cheek, his forehead, and so on. It was full of longing, as if it was whispering something. Xie Lian blankly stretched out his hand and let it rest on it.
That silver butterfly seemed to be extremely happy. It flapped its butterfly wings and indeed stopped for him. However, it couldn't stay for long. After a while, it scattered with the wind.
However, the place where it stopped, the red line on Xie Lian's third finger, was still as bright as ever.

"And then?"
"It's over."
"It's over?"
"It's over."
Pei Ming finally couldn't take it anymore. "No, how can it be over here? Even an outsider like me can see that it's not over? "
Mu Qing placed a thick stack of account books on the table and said coldly, "This is what I calculated. It's over here. I can calculate it again on the spot. General Pei, please listen carefully: Deduct 8.88 million merit points, add 6.66 million merit points, add 17.2 million merit points, and deduct … "
Feng Xin said, "Alright, there's no need to calculate. This is the number, but it must have missed out a lot. Otherwise, it won't match at all! "
Mu Qing said, "That's not my problem. In any case, I didn't calculate wrongly. Or you can find another person to do the calculation. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have meddled in other people's business. "
After the Immortal Capital was destroyed, the scattered Heavenly Officials reunited with great difficulty. They set up a temporary celestial court on the peak of Mount Taicang that no one cared about. At the moment, the Heavenly Officials were in full swing discussing the reconstruction of the new Immortal Capital.
But, unfortunately, that fire not only burned down the group of golden palaces of the Heavenly Officials, causing them to only be able to squeeze into this desolate and broken mountain to hold a meeting. They could only rest in a small shed that was temporarily built. It also caused all the documents to be burnt to the ground, causing a large number of records to disappear. They had been arguing for a few days, but they still couldn't even clear up the accounts until now!
One of Pei Ming's arms was wrapped in a sling around her neck. She rubbed her chin with her other hand and said, "I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Xuan Zhen's tone has become more and more eccentric lately."
Feng Xin said, "Hasn't he always been eccentric? He's too lazy to put on a show now. "
Mu Qing rolled his eyes. Everyone pointed at him and said, "Outrageous!"
Mu Qing turned and left. Quan Yizhen's whole body was wrapped in bandages, and he looked like a human dumpling. Only his messy curly hair could be seen. He said in a muffled voice, "What should we do now? Who's going to calculate it? "
Everyone looked at each other, coughed, and quietly retreated. No one was willing to take on this arduous and unrewarding task. Seeing this, Pei Ming sighed and said, "Sigh, if only Ling Wen was still here. No matter what, there's nothing to say about her work. These messy things are all recorded in her mind. She's not afraid of Ling Wen Palace being burned down. She'll definitely hand in the results within a day. "
After struggling on this mountain for so long, everyone already had this thought in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it. Seeing someone take the lead, they all echoed, "Yes!"
"I won't scold Ling Wen Palace for being inefficient anymore!"
"I stopped scolding them a long time ago …"
At this moment, someone outside reported, "Everyone, Lord Rain Master is here!"
