He brushed it off as if it was nothing.
But he was not made of steel, his body flesh and blood. How could it possibly not be painful for him?
Qing Yu got a little angry and was struggling to say something when she heard the man’s low voice say: “This is pain that you should not have to suffer. And since I am not able to take it on your behalf, at least let me feel the same together with you.”
“You’re such a fool…..” Qing Yu’s eyes immediately turned red rimmed.
And seeing that scene, Qing Tian Lin laughed evilly. “How touching! But a pity that Qing Qing is destined to die together with me!”
It seemed like after his arm was severed, the dark black portal had come to be stained with a bloody tinge, turning it a devilishly dark maroon shade, and it looked as if flames of a strange colour was raging inside it.
Something seemed to dawn upon Xi Zhan Chen.
That was his blood…..
And it made the power of the portal more powerful.
But…..
Xi Zhan Chen slowly lowered his head in thought and the dark bloom below the corner of his eye seemed to quiver slightly.
His very existence….. was meant to put an end to all of this!
“Qing Yu.” Xi Zhan Chen suddenly opened his move to call her name.
His voice wasn’t loud, but it reached her ears very clearly.
Qing Yu lifted her head up from Lou Jun Yao’s chest to look at Xi Zhan Chen, her long and alluring phoenix like eyes showing that she was silently enduring the burning pain. But she was still as beautiful as she looked the first time they met, just captivating.
Unintentionally, so lively, she had just come into his sight.
It had felt as if a pebble had suddenly been tossed into the still waters that had laid dead in his heart for so long, and rings of ripples stirred…..
Unable to regain its calm.
Xi Zhan Chen’s gaze did not waver as he looked straight at her for a long while, when the corners of his lips suddenly curved up into a radiant smile. His voice was soft as he went on to say: “I think….. that I must have committed too much evil in my previous life, and that is why I have this black lotus mark on my face now, a mark that would forever remind me of my inerasable past…..”
“And while I was committing all those unpardonable sins, there must have been an instant that I felt remorseful and hesitated back then, which then gave me the opportunity to be able to meet you in this life.”
Qing Yu’s lips moved as she saw him say those words, but she did not know how to react, unable to make heads or tails of those words.
It felt as if he was bidding goodbye.
But….. Why?
Xi Zhan Chen’s eyes shone with a deep light as he looked at her, like he was trying to etch that countenance deeply into his mind, to forever remember it in his heart.
“I’ve always felt that life was dull and uninteresting, but then, you appeared. It made me suddenly feel as if time was just too fleeting…..”
