Chapter 138 Living and dying together
During the days when Pei Cangli was drowsy, Si Yunzhou would hug her from behind through the quilt to keep her warm.
Pei Cangli actually really wanted to hide in Si Yunzhou's arms. Only in that way could she feel better and not be so cold that her teeth would chatter all day long.
But she knew that she couldn't do that. Once she did that, Si Yunzhou would be even sadder after she left.
One day, after Pei Cangli woke up, he looked in good spirits, so he suggested that the three of them sit down together and eat something.
Cang Cang went to the space to take out some food. The three of them sat in the courtyard of the small building. Pei Cangli lay on the recliner and said with a smile, "It's great to have you accompany me. It's a pity that I can't see the sun."
"Cangli, after a while, after I take back Zimei, I will take you out. We will find a small courtyard filled with sunshine. We can lie in the courtyard together to bask in the sun during the day and watch the moon together at night."
"Okay."
But Pei Cangli will never have the chance to see such a day again, and today is her last deadline.
"Si Yunzhou, do you remember that I said I would tell you a secret before we separated last time?"
"Yes, Cangli, I remember everything."
"Actually, I have a storage space where I can put things. The spiritual spring is also there. Cang Cang and the others usually stay there. Anyone who has made a contract with me can go in."
"Si Yunzhou, I told you this secret because I hope you can help me protect Cang Cang and the others and not let anyone hurt them."
"Cangli, I will. Don't worry, I will not only protect them, but I will also protect you."
"That's good."
"Cang Cang, you should be able to fully control the space now, right?"
"Master, don't worry. After you told me last time, I have already learned it and can fully control it."
"I can rest assured that."
Pei Cangli transferred the connection between Hongyu and the other two into space so that they would not be affected by her.
Si Yunzhou looked at Pei Cangli, who was lying on a recliner with a smile on her face, with a peaceful expression on her face, as if she was about to leave.
I suddenly started to panic, and asked hurriedly, "Cang Li, you are not hiding anything from me anymore, are you?"
"certainly······"
Before he could finish his sentence, Pei Cangli spat out a large mouthful of blood. Then his eyes began to become unfocused, and his hand, which was holding onto the recliner, slowly slid down.
"Cangli, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, Cangli!"
"Master, please wake up. Zi Mei is still waiting for us to save him."
Si Yunzhou's eyes froze in an instant, and those originally deep and calm eyes were now filled with fear and despair.
He stared at Pei Cangli in a daze, as if time had stopped at this moment.
When Si Yunzhou realized that Pei Cangli was about to die in front of him, his face turned pale instantly and his lips trembled slightly.
His eyes were full of disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes. His once resolute face was now full of panic, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The fear that surged in his heart overwhelmed him like a tide, his mind went blank, with only one thought left: I must not let her die.
"Cangli, don't leave me. I won't let you die. I must save you."
At this critical moment, Si Yunzhou suddenly thought of something, and without hesitation, he made a contract of life and death with Pei Cangli.
At that moment, his eyes revealed determination and resolve, as if he was declaring war on fate.
Seeing Pei Cangli falling into coma, Si Yunzhou's eyes were filled with pain and pity.
He held Pei Cangli gently in his arms, his movements so gentle as if he was protecting a fragile treasure. Feeling her faint breath, his heart was filled with emotions.
Si Yunzhou's mind kept replaying every detail of his acquaintance with Pei Cangli.
Those happy times spent together, those determined eyes when facing difficulties together, and those unintentional tender moments, all flashed before his eyes like a movie.
He thought of Pei Cangli's smile, which was like the warm sunshine in spring, which could instantly dispel the haze in his heart.
He thought of Pei Cangli's kindness, always helping others selflessly, even at a price for himself, which was very touching.
He thought of Pei Cangli's bravery, how he never backed down in the face of danger, as if he had endless courage.
But now, she lay so fragile in his arms, her life or death uncertain.
Si Yunzhou blamed himself, blaming himself for not having more power to protect her and why he did not notice the danger earlier.
His heart seemed to be pierced by countless sharp blades, and the pain made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He hugged Pei Cangli tightly, as if only by doing this could he pass his vitality to her.
He prayed silently in his heart, begging God not to take her life. He swore that as long as Pei Cangli could wake up, he would pay any price, even his own life.
He knew that from the moment the contract was signed, their destinies were closely linked.
He couldn't lose her, because Pei Cangli was the most important person in his life and the only person he wanted to be with in this vast world.
What Si Yunzhou didn't know was that the moment he and Pei Cangli made a contract of life and death together, thunder rumbled in the sky for a long time.
It seemed as if they were celebrating something, or as if they were declaring war on others. In a secret barrier, several monks in the Tribulation Crossing Stage were all startled.
Ghost clan.
Ever since Xuan Shang was pulled away by the black iron chain, he was locked in a barrier again. He stopped struggling and just kept shouting "Little White Flower."
The Ghost King came to see him that day. Xuan Shang looked at his master calmly and asked, "Why? I was almost able to save her, why did you take me away?"
"Xuan Shang, you two are not suitable. Besides, she is already dead. Don't think about it anymore. I will go into seclusion next. I will leave the ghost tribe to you."
"You're talking nonsense. Little White Flower won't die. She must still be waiting for me to save her."
"Since you still want to save her, then stay in this barrier for three months. Come out after you figure it out."
After saying this, the Ghost King walked away.
Three months passed quickly. When Xuan Shang came out of the barrier, the first thing he did was to go to the blood pool, where he stayed for another three months.
Since he was not strong enough to protect the little white flower before, he would improve his cultivation so that no one could stop him.
When Xuan Shang came out again, his cultivation had reached the Void Refining Stage, and the Ghost King had already gone into seclusion.
He ordered Mingfeng and the others to capture all the ghost cultivators who had participated in harming Xiao Baihua.
He came to the Evil Demon Gorge alone, wanting to go down to find Pei Cangli, but unfortunately, at some point in time, the Evil Demon Gorge was covered with the same dark aura as that of wild beasts.
Seeing this dark atmosphere, Xuan Shang's heart instantly turned cold. This meant that Little White Flower was doomed to die. But deep down in his heart, he still didn't believe that Pei Cangli had died like this.
"Little White Flower, after I kill all those who have hurt you, I will come down to accompany you. Don't be afraid, I won't let you go alone."
