241|Laughing Gradually Fading Red Clothes 2

Xie Ren grabbed him and said in shock, “Sanlang? What’s wrong with you?”

Hua Cheng was quite calm, saying, “It’s fine. Just a little too much.”

Xie Ren was confused when he heard, “…… Why didn’t you tell me earlier, how can this be called nothing?!”

Mana, it’s those mana!

Hua Cheng gave Xie Ren mana, never seemed to be inexhaustible, smiling as if there was not the slightest burden, but it was his own mana, not the sand from the big waves, how could it really be inexhaustible?

This can’t be blamed on Hua Cheng for not saying it earlier, but only on himself for not thinking of it earlier. Xie Ren, regretful and anxious, said, “I’ll give it back to you.”

He held Hua Cheng’s face and kissed it. Feng Xin and Mu Yi had wanted to come over, but once they saw this, they instantly retreated a few feet and pulled away, letting the two of them get it on their own.

After the spell was removed, he tried his best to channel all the mana he could towards Hua Cheng, wanting to let him recover as soon as possible. However, after kissing him for a while, when he let go and took a look, the red clothes on Hua Cheng’s sleeves as well as the pair of silver wrist guards were still transparent, or even translucent!

Xie Ren was stunned for a while, his heart was in fear, subconsciously holding Hua Cheng’s face again to kiss him, but Hua Cheng was quick, holding his face back, kissing him and smiling, “Although I am very happy that brother is so proactive, there is still no need to transfer mana to me. However, if brother is not borrowing mana, but simply wants to kiss me, I don’t mind at all. The more the merrier, welcome to the core.”

“……”

Xie Ren clutched him tightly, on the verge of breaking down, “What’s going on here?!”

Flower City said, “It’s just a little rest, brother, don’t be afraid.”

Xie Ren clutched his head and said, “How can I not be scared? I’m going crazy!”

With Hua Cheng’s nature, if the problem wasn’t very serious, so serious that he could no longer hide it, how would he let Xie Ren see him like this?

How much mana was there that was so much that it exploded both spell shackles? It was no exaggeration to say that it was as vast as a river and sea, so how could he himself not be half affected?

It’s so hard, so hard to settle all the messy things. Speaking with Wind Letter Moo Ai. The curse that had bound him for more than eight hundred years had also been lifted. What he had always wanted to confess to Flower City but didn’t dare to do so had all been confessed.

But how could he not be afraid when he ran back with a big smile on his face and was greeted by the city of flowers that had turned into this? He was going crazy with fear!

Sensing that something was wrong, Feng Xin and Mu Ai said from a distance, “Your Highness? What’s wrong?!” Running a few steps this way, but then pausing halfway because of some reason, they felt bad about approaching hastily. Xie Ren couldn’t notice anyone else at all at the moment, he grabbed onto Flower City, his heart was about to stop beating, terrified in general, saying, “What to do?”

Hua Cheng sighed slightly and stretched out his arms, once again taking him into his embrace, saying, “Your Highness, I’ve been watching you all along.”

This was the second time he said this, and it was even softer than the party. Xie Ren grasped the red clothes on his chest and said blankly, “I know, I know ah. But …… what exactly should we do now?”

Hua Cheng’s slender fingers gently combed his messy hair and said, “Your Highness, then do you know why I refuse to leave this world?”

Xie Ren couldn’t understand why Hua Cheng was so calm by now, trembling with anxiety, but in the midst of the six gods, he still asked somewhat foolishly, “Why?”

Hua Cheng whispered, “Because I have a beloved person still in this world.”

Hearing this, Xie Ren froze slightly.

It seemed like he’d heard that somewhere.

Flower City continued, “My sweetheart is a brave, golden-branched nobleman. He saved my life and I looked up to him from a very young age. But more than anything, I want to catch up to him and become better and stronger for him. Though, he probably doesn’t even remember me much, we haven’t even spoken a few words. I want to protect him.”

He gazed at Xie Ren and said, “If your dream is to save the living, then my dream will be yours alone.”

“……”

Xie Ren asked in a trembling voice from memory, “…… But …… in that case, you will, not be allowed to rest in peace ……? “

Flower City replied, “I wish to never rest in peace.”

For a split second, Xie Ren’s breathing stopped at this moment. In a trance, she heard two voices asking and answering each other.

“I’m afraid your beloved would be troubled and apologetic if they knew you couldn’t rest in peace for yourself.”

“Then I’ll just not let him know why I’m not leaving.”

“You always know when you’ve seen a lot.”

“Then just don’t let him realize I’m protecting him either.”

That ghost fire. The weak ghost fire that he bought for a few dollars on the night of the lanterns. The ghost fire that tried to pull him up from the messy grave on a cold winter night. The ghost fire that stopped him from getting close to danger in front of Bai Wu Xiang. The ghost fire that screamed out in his place when a hundred swords pierced his heart!

Hua Cheng said in a faint voice, ”Your Highness, I know all about you.

“Your bravery, your despair; your kindness, your pain; your resentment, your hatred; your cleverness, your stupidity.

“If I could, I’d like you to think of me as a stepping stone, a bridge torn down across a river, a corpse to step on as you move up the ladder, a sinner who deserves a thousand cuts. But I know you wouldn’t.”

As he spoke, the maple red on his coat dimmed.

Xie Ren grabbed him with shivering hands and still didn’t stop feeding him mana, nor did she stop the gradual fading of Hua Cheng’s figure.

His eyes were blurred, and he said in an incoherent, stuttering manner, “…… Okay you don’t have to say it, I understand …… But, but you don’t have to be like this okay Sanlang. I …… I still borrowed a lot of mana from you and haven’t returned it. Also, I actually haven’t finished what I just said, there’s still a lot left. No one has listened to me for years, so you will stay, right? You really …… don’t want to be like this. I can’t stand it, Sanlang. I really can’t stand it. Twice, it’s been twice! I don’t want a third time!!!”

Flower City has disappeared from this world twice for him!

Instead, Flower City said, “To die in battle for you is my highest honor.”

“……”

This sentence, like a fatal blow, the tears in Xie Ren’s eyes finally could no longer be held back and came out.

As if grasping the last straw, he said, “You said you wouldn’t leave.”

Flower City, however, said, “There is no such thing as an unending banquet.”

Xie Ren buried his head deeply, his chest and throat were in severe pain and he could not speak.

With that, he heard Flower City say above him, “But I will never leave you.”

At those words, Xie Ren’s head snapped up.

Hua Cheng said to him, “I will return. Your Highness, trust me.”

Despite the firmness of his voice, his pale face began to fade and become transparent. Xie Ren reached out his hand to touch the face, but the tips of his fingers penetrated through. He froze and looked up again.

Hua Cheng’s gaze was gentle and fiery, his only remaining eye full of love, gazing at him silently, seeming to say something, but there was no sound. Refusing to die, Xie Ren stretched out his hands and embraced towards him, wanting to hear.

But before he could exert himself, the person he was holding, and who had also held him, disappeared.

In front of him, Flower City instantly shattered into a thousand silver butterflies, transforming into a burst of brilliant starry wind that could not be embraced or held.

Xie Ren’s hands hugged empty, maintaining the hugging position and not moving a muscle. He didn’t know whether he hadn’t reacted or couldn’t move, sitting on his knees in the dreamlike butterfly formation, his eyes wide open.

Below, Feng Xin and Mu Yi never expected such a scene to occur, both of their faces went white as they rushed up and said, “Your Highness!”

Feng Xin was the one who rushed up first and said, “How could this happen all of a sudden? Wasn’t it fine just a moment ago? Is it because of the yoke?

Mu love a limp jumped twice, can not jump up, raised his head to those silver butterflies shouted, “Blood rain tanuki! Don’t you be kidding, hurry out if you’re not dead!”

Of course those silver butterflies wouldn’t answer him, and fluttered about, lifting their wings and flying off into the sky. Feng Xin reached out to pull Xie Ren, but Xie Ren sat on the ground and did not get up. Feng Xin didn’t know what to do and said, “Is there anything we can do to help? Want mana? Can we save? What the hell should we do????”

Muoi, however, had already seen what was going on and said, “Forget it, just shut up! — Nothing needs to be done.”

The sky was filled with flashes of glittering light and butterfly wings flickering, just as it had been the first time they had been reunited eight hundred years later.

A silver butterfly flew by, passing over the back of his hand, cheek, forehead and other places one by one, fondly, as if whispering a farewell message. Xie Ren stretched out his hand, letting it perch on his hand.

The silver butterfly seemed overjoyed and flapped its wings, and indeed it stayed for him. But it couldn’t last long, and in a short while it dispersed with the wind.

However, where it had rested, on Xie Ren’s third finger, the red line, bright and colorful, remained.

“And then what?”

“Done.”

“Finished?”

“Done.”

Pei Ming finally couldn’t hold back, “No. How can it be over right here? I’m an outsider who can see that it’s not over?”

Mu Qi put a thick stack of reconciliation books on the table and coldly said: ”This is how I counted it out, and that’s the end of it here. I can do the math again on the spot, so please listen to General Pei: deduct eight million eight hundred and eighty-eight million merits, add six million six hundred and sixty-six million merits, add seventeen million two hundred and twenty million merits, and deduct …… more.”

Feng Xin said, “No need to count. The number is the right number, but it must have missed a lot, right? Otherwise this won’t match at all!”

Muoi said, “Then it’s not my problem, I didn’t miscalculate anyway. Or maybe you all should find another person to do the math. If I had known this, I wouldn’t have minded my own business.”

After the destruction of the Immortal Capital, the scattered and defeated Magi were easily reunited, and a temporary Upper Heavenly Court was set up by pulling the boundary on top of the uninvited Tai Cang Mountain. At present, the magi were feverishly discussing the repair and reconstruction of the new Immortal Capital.

But, unfortunately not, that fire, not only burned all the magi’s imposing and extraordinary golden temple complex, resulting in now they can only huddle in this desolate broken mountain assembly, also can only rest in the temporary small hut, but also led to all the text scrolls were torched, a large number of records disappeared, pulling and pulling, pulling and pulling for a number of days, up to now still jerk a account are not clear!

Pei Ming had one arm bandaged and hanging from his neck, while the other hand rubbed his chin and said, “I don’t know if it’s just me, but isn’t Xuan Zhen’s tone getting more and more conspiratorial lately.”

Feng Xin said, “Hasn’t he always been this shifty? He’s just too lazy to be superficial now.”

Muoi rolled his eyes and the crowd pointed at him, “Unlikeable!”

Mu love turned around and left. Quan Yizhen was all wrapped up in bandages, wrapped into a human-shaped dumpling, only revealing a head of messy curly hair, his voice slurred, “What the hell should we do now? Who is going to count?”

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, coughing and quietly backing away, no one wanting to take on this thankless errand. Seeing this, Pei Ming sighed and said, ”Alas, it would be good if Ling Wen was still around. No matter what, there’s nothing to say about her work. All these messy things are memorized in her head, and she’s not afraid of the Spiritual Wen Hall burning down. Within a day, the results will definitely be delivered.”

In this broken mountain tossed this for a long time, the people in their hearts have long thought so, just do not dare to say, see someone to take the lead, have echoed: “Yes!”

“I will never call out the Spirit Man Temple for its inefficiency in the future!”

“I stopped cursing a long time ago ……”

It was at this moment that someone outside reported, “Gentlemen, Master Rainmaker is here!”

Upon hearing this, all of the Divine Officers were all pleased with their faces, and all took the initiative to welcome them out, only Pei Ming looked subtle, and seemed to have hesitated for a moment, but still chose not to go out. At this moment, another voice said, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, you’ve come too!”
