Chapter 121: As Long as It Can Save Her…
“As long as I can save my sister, I can do anything!”
Chen Yuan’s eyes turned slightly red, and his gaze revealed resolve.
“I won’t agree; what you’re suggesting will turn your sister into a monster.”
“Is there any other way?!”
Chen Yuan’s tone rose, and he struggled to control his volume.
After saying that, Chen Yuan turned to leave. Even if Elder Qingyi disagreed, he had to find a way to save Xiaoxue!
“Actually…”
“There is another way.”
At this moment, Elder Qingyi finally spoke up, calling out to Chen Yuan’s back.
“There is a way?! What way?! Then tell me!” Chen Yuan asked anxiously.
“This method is actually not much different from what you have already thought of, but at least it’s better. The problem is that Xiaoxue may not last until that day.”
“What exactly is the method?! Elder, just tell me, I beg you!”
Chen Yuan couldn’t care about anything else and directly knelt down!
As long as there is a way, isn’t it worth trying no matter what?!
Elder Qingyi was somewhat moved upon seeing this…
“The Xuan Ying Grass that produces the Ling Ying Flower.”
Chen Yuan’s breath quickened: “How do we obtain it?”
“The Xuan Ying Grass is said to only appear in the Phoenix Yin Cave at the ruins of the Phoenix Yin Sect. It is covered in sharp thorns, and its whole body is toxic, with no antidote available.
Those poisoned will d*e in seven days, and the manner of d*ath is horrific.
It has always been used as a secret weapon of the Phoenix Yin Sect…”
Chen Yuan turned around, ready to search for it!
“But the place where Xuan Ying Grass grows is extremely cold and yin; it dies upon exposure to light and never blooms.”
Chen Yuan paused: “Then what’s the method…?”
“It is said that only bloodshed true love can nourish it…”
“This process requires a beloved person to hold it tightly, endure the pain of the deadly poison and heart-wrenching torment, and irrigate it daily with fresh bl**d for seven days in order for it to possibly bloom…”
“I’m going right now!” Chen Yuan said earnestly, not changing his expression.
“It cannot be done now; it’s not the blooming season for Xuan Ying Grass. It would be useless for you to go; you must wait until winter…”
“But Xiaoxue has little time left…”
“This is also what I mean when I say that Xiaoxue won’t make it to that day.”
Elder Qingyi stepped forward and patted Chen Yuan’s shoulder: “So, for the remaining days, as her brother, spend more time with her…”
After saying this, Elder Qingyi gently left like a breeze.
Leaving Chen Yuan sitting alone on the ground…
“Is this…”
“A birthday gift.”
“Thank you, brother…”
Lin Shuxue, with pale lips, tried hard to purse her lips, hoping to hide the pallor and appear more spirited…
Then she forced a bright smile, daring not to show any weakness in front of Chen Yuan.
She knew her brother hated seeing her look so distressed…
So each time her brother came to see her, she would hold on…
She knew she was adding trouble to her brother again…
“Drink the medicine, be good,” Chen Yuan observed everything and had already resolved to do certain things in his heart.
“Okay…”
Lin Shuxue held the bowl and drank the medicine, just in time to hide the painful, weak expression from Chen Yuan…
After finishing the medicine obediently, Lin Shuxue couldn’t wait to see the gift her brother had prepared for her.
A jade flute.
Originally, she didn’t like it…
But…
“As long as you blow it, brother will come to see you…”
She instantly liked it so much that she wouldn’t let go…
“Really?”
“When have I ever lied to you…”
“Okay, thank you… brother…”
“But I can’t play it…”
“Brother will teach you…”
“How much longer… Elder Qingyi…”
“Three more months.”
“That should be enough… Thank you, Elder Qingyi…” Chen Yuan’s body was already weak, his steps unsteady as if he might fall at any moment.
Seeing this, Qingyi couldn’t bear it and pulled his hand, not allowing him to bow again.
“Do you think you can last for three more months?”
Elder Qingyi was, of course, aware of Chen Yuan feeding Lin Shuxue vital bl**d each time he visited.
Lin Shuxue should have died a month ago, but… she has held on till now…
The young man before her was actually exchanging his life for hers…
“Heh… isn’t there still medicine…”
Chen Yuan chuckled, revealing his plan for the next three months in a single sentence.
Even though it was a very simple sentence, it overwhelmed even Elder Qingyi, who was used to the bloody storm…
“Do you plan to rely on medicine to prolong your life? But even if you keep using medicine to extend your life, what about the flowers? How will you go with your current condition?”
“Then I’ll have to trouble Elder Qingyi… I really have no other way…”
Chen Yuan said calmly, looking down: “My life isn’t important…”
“Those who shine brightly often burn their life’s energy away…”
“Her life shouldn’t end here… She has a long path ahead…”
“Perhaps my mission is to come to save my sister…”
“I plead—”
Qingyi: “I understand… don’t worry, I won’t ignore it.”
Chen Yuan was overjoyed and wanted to bow: “Thank you—”
“No need for thanks, just this matter, Xiaoxue…”
“It’s better not to tell her…” Chen Yuan said with a smile, his eyes softened when talking about Lin Shuxue.
“Whatever, just find an excuse and say… I sacrificed myself, so she can properly take care of the Demon Cult…”
Elder Qingyi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and nodded heavily: “I understand…”
…
In the next three months, Chen Yuan’s body could no longer handle providing vital bl**d.
He began to take medicine excessively…
Until he was vomiting and diarrhea, and when he couldn’t swallow anymore, he forced the herbs down his throat…
Strange things started growing on his body, and his weakness became even more severe…
But still, he visited Lin Shuxue regularly, from using a sword to fly, to being taken by Xu Ya, and then being carried on his back…
He adjusted his state at the door of Lin Shuxue’s room each time before going in…
…
“Brother… let me play a song I just learned~”
“If you play this kind of sad tune again, I won’t come to see you!”
“I’m sorry, brother…”
Chen Yuan gently stroked her head, but his expression remained serious.
And Lin Shuxue obediently rubbed against his palm, admitting her mistake…
