Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 385 Shattered Soul?

Xuan Li fainted.

She vaguely heard someone arguing.

It was a dignified yet angry young voice, "Cang Yan, what are you doing?!"

"Cang Li's soul was severely injured, his bloodline was not restored, and he had used the Twelve Secret Techniques. He was destined to die!"

"You used your own power to save her the first two times, so I can forgive you. What, are you going to use the method of transference to transfer her divine punishment onto yourself this time?"

"Are you insane? Do you know that you will take the brunt of a far more powerful celestial punishment in her place?"

The young man speaking to the boy's voice was quite indifferent, saying, "I can withstand the Star Punishment, but Zhao Zhao can't."

"how about you?"

"Was all that excruciating pain endured for thousands of years just for nothing?"

The voice sounded like it was filled with disappointment, "Cang Yan, she already severely damaged your soul by forcibly separating your bloodline and stealing the treasure!"

"Your injuries haven't even healed yet, and now you want to be subjected to divine punishment? Are you out of your mind? Or do you want your soul to be shattered into thousands of pieces before you go through this ordeal again?"

Soul shattered?

for her?

Upon hearing these words, Xuan Li felt an uncontrollable, dense pain welling up in his heart.

It's different from the pain brought by divine punishment.

It's that kind of heart-wrenching pain.

Xuan Li struggled to open his eyelids and looked to the side. In the boundless darkness, only a few rays of moonlight shone faintly through the window.

She thought she saw it: a tall, handsome man standing by the window, and a ball with pink wings that could fly.

Ayan?

The young man stood before the ancient starry river, gazing at the shimmering starry sky outside the hall, and calmly said, "Qi, I can't bear to see her suffer."

The little flyball got even angrier when it heard that!

"So you willingly let yourself get hurt again? You saw it yourself, she doesn't even know what she did in her dream, and she won't remember anything when she wakes up!"

"She has someone new she likes, can't you see that?! Or are you going to sacrifice yourself for someone else?"

"No... After experiencing the mortal world, how did you become a fool?"

"What about the old you!?"

The young man seemed embarrassed by what he had been said. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Qi, please stop talking."

"Don't tell?"

The pink ball flew in front of him, angrily saying...

"I have to say it!"

"Cang Yan, you can't just let your personal feelings cloud your judgment. The responsibilities on your shoulders don't allow you to think about these things. Cang Li doesn't deserve this from you. Back then..."

"enough!"

The young man quickly spoke up, interrupting him.

When the matter was brought up, his eyes turned slightly cold. "Qi, who she chooses and who she likes is her choice."

"It's good to live in the present without remembering the past, at least I won't be in her memory."

"Even if I think about it later, I won't be in pain because of a reason that can never be verified."

Qi was unwilling to accept it.

"And what about you? Enduring endless backlash and loneliness, watching her happily with someone else, completely unaware of what happened back then!?"

"Cang Yan, is this your love?"

The young man seemed to have thought of something, and closed his eyes with difficulty. "Qi, you know Zhao Zhao's personality better than anyone else."

"She loves lively places, enjoys good food, loves the breathtaking scenery of Yanxu, and loves all things interesting in the world."

"She's such a fun-loving girl. Instead of letting her continue to enjoy what she loves, I'm telling her everything from the past, and asking her to spend year after year with me in this silent world!?"

The little pink ball suddenly fell silent.

The man's soul-searching words continued.

“I can endure it because I came from loneliness, but she can’t. I don’t want Zhaozhao to live in a world where only I exist.”

The little pink ball slowed its wing flapping, as if it wanted to argue, "But..."

"Stop talking, my mind is made up."

The young man's voice gradually faded away.

A tear slid down Xuan Li's cheek.

"No...no..."

She didn't know what Star Punishment was, but Xuan Li knew what the excruciating pain of millions of years meant!

She herself has only experienced heart pain a few times, and it has already made her feel unbearable pain and worse than death, let alone thousands of years.

What makes me worthy of such treatment from him?

She doesn't deserve it!

She wanted to speak, but her heavy body wouldn't obey her commands!

In this unknown world, Xuan Li can only define the passage of time by breathing.

A long, long time later, so long that Xuan Li could hardly tell the time, a series of disordered footsteps finally rang out.

Along with the approaching footsteps came the heavy breathing that the other person was trying so hard to suppress but could still leak out!

The young man reached out and hugged the little girl, his voice weak, "Zhaozhao, don't be afraid, it'll be...it'll be over soon..."

Qi's anxious voice followed closely behind.

"Cang Yan! You're insane! If you do it again, your hard-won fused divine soul will shatter under the star punishment!"

"I know I can't stop you from saving her, but think about yourself. You've already taken half of the divine punishment, the other half can wait!"

The young man's voice was weak, but firm.

"Qi, my mind is made up."

The cool fingertips touched her forehead, instantly bringing tears to Xuan Li's eyes, "Ayan..."

not worth it!

No, she can't hurt Ayan anymore.

You should bear the consequences of your own actions!

Instead of hiding behind him and enjoying the fruits of success, we should push all the danger and harm onto him!

Millions of years of suffering are not as good as letting her sleep forever!

The woman's consciousness began to struggle frantically.

She had to go back, even if it meant death; she couldn't be a burden to him anymore!
