anwhile, inside the villa in Donghai City.
Zhou Huai's consciousness, like a withered leaf fluttering in a gale, weakly returned to his body.
My body felt like it was filled with lead.
heavy.
stiff.
He couldn't even move a single finger.
Consciousness is more like floating and sinking in the dark deep sea, and every ti it tries to rise, it is pulled down by a deeper sense of exhaustion.
That was the feeling of exhaustion from the soul being overdrawn to the extre.
I don't know how many tis I fainted along the way.
He finally conveyed everything that needed to be explained through Yasuo.
The rest is up to fate.
"...Young Master! Young Master, wake up!"
I heard muffled shouts.
His ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) voice was old, filled with undisguised panic and sobs.
It's Uncle Fu.
Zhou Huai regained so consciousness.
He probably noticed sothing was wrong with his body.
I've really caused this old man so much worry.
Zhou Huai wanted to say a few words of comfort, but found that his throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and he couldn't make a sound.
So tired.
I'm so tired.
Even breathing has beco a form of torture.
Just then.
A small, cold hand trembled and grasped his palm.
It felt very soft and delicate to the touch.
Zhou Huai was sowhat surprised.
Uncle Fu's hands were never this small.
I hadn't noticed that before.
Imdiately afterwards.
"Clatter".
Sothing warm fell onto his cheek and slid down his face.
Is soone crying?
Who is it?
Zhou Huai used the last of his strength to control his heavy eyelids and barely managed to open them a crack.
My vision was completely blurred.
But he still saw it.
A beautiful figure stood by the bed.
She was wearing a light green dress, and her shoulders were heaving violently.
Is that... Ye Xi?
Zhou Huai's thoughts were sowhat sluggish.
That silly girl.
You finally decided to co see ?
Seeing in this half-dead state, she must be very sad, right?
What a pity.
I don't even have the strength to sit up and hug her or wipe away her tears anymore.
“Zhou... Brother Zhou Huai...”
A tearful cry pierced my ears.
Zhou Huai's heart skipped a beat.
Don't cry.
fool.
I'm just... too tired.
From the very first day I transmigrated into this world.
I haven't had a single good night's sleep.
Every day is filled with calculations, sches, and constant teetering on the edge of life and death.
That string was always taut.
I never dare to relax even for a mont.
Now it's all right.
The mountain that had been weighing on my heart finally collapsed.
Kujo Naruya died.
The crisis in Great Xia has been resolved.
I can finally... get so rest.
This feeling isn't so bad, actually.
It felt like a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulders.
Zhou Huai felt his consciousness sinking deeper and deeper.
The surrounding sounds grew fainter and fainter.
Ye Xi's cries and Uncle Fu's shouts sounded distorted and ethereal, as if they were heard through a thick layer of glass.
Darkness surged in like a tide.
It swallowed everything.
I can't hear anything anymore.
I can't think of anything anymore.
Only endless tranquility.
On the bed.
Zhou Huai's eyes, which had just opened a crack, slowly closed.
The chest, which had been rising and falling slightly, ca to a complete stop.
Inside the room, Ye Xi's cries had beco hoarse.
"Brother Zhou Huai! Wake up! Look at !"
She kept calling out, tears streaming down her face like beads from a broken string.
One after another, holy healing halos appeared in her hands and continuously rged into Zhou Huai's body.
It was as if it had landed on a dead tree, without causing the slightest ripple.
"No...no..."
Ye Xi's tears fell in a steady stream, soaking Zhou Huai's clothes.
"Wake up! Don't scare !"
"I'm very capable, I can definitely save you!"
"Please... don't leave ..."
Until your mana is instantly depleted.
Even as her face turned ashen, her healing techniques never ceased.
"Miss Ye! Stop!"
Uncle Fu reached out with trembling hands and pressed down on Ye Xi's shoulder.
Tears stread down his face.
He tremblingly reached out his finger and checked Zhou Huai's breath.
He then touched the carotid artery, which had stopped beating.
at last.
His body trembled violently.
He felt as if his spine had been removed, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Young Master... he's gone..."
These five words were like a bolt from the blue.
The holy light in Ye Xi's hand went out.
She stared blankly at the peaceful-looking man on the bed.
It's like she's asleep.
But he will never wake up again.
"Wow--!!!"
Ye Xi threw herself into Zhou Huai's arms and burst into tears.
The cries were heart-wrenching, enough to break one's heart.
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, Brother Zhou Huai..."
"I'm late..."
"It's my fault for being useless..."
...
anwhile, in the land of cherry blossoms.
A team that has just finished a fierce battle is cleaning up the battlefield.
The ground was covered with the mutilated corpses of the Red Demons.
A middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of a general of the Great Xia Army patted the shoulder of a soldier who was bandaging the wound of his comrade.
"Well done!"
The general's eyes were filled with undisguised admiration.
"Which unit is your squad from? You fought very bravely, I really like it!"
The soldier grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, his face radiating undisguised pride.
"Reporting, sir! My na is Qin Ming!"
"We are not soldiers of the military, we are from the Eternal Night Guild!"
"Eternal Night Guild?"
The general paused for a mont, sowhat surprised.
He looked Qin Ming up and down, as well as the other equally imposing professionals around him.
"I never expected that you people from the civilian guilds would perform better than the regular troops of our Great Xia Army."
"You guys really fought hard during that last charge."
Upon hearing his superior's praise, Qin Ming imdiately straightened his chest, feeling completely at ease.
"That's right! None of the mbers of our Eternal Night Guild are cowards!"
The general nodded approvingly and said, "It seems your guild leader has trained you very well."
"Yes, my lord!"
Qin Ming imdiately corrected him, his expression extrely serious and devout.
"Without our Lord, there would be no us as we are today, nor would there be the Eternal Night Guild!"
Upon hearing this, the general's eyes flashed with curiosity, and he was about to ask sothing else.
However, at that mont...
A sudden change occurred.
The proud smile on Qin Ming's face suddenly froze.
He stood frozen in place, as if he had been frozen in place.
It's not just Qin Ming.
On the battlefield, all mbers belonging to the Eternal Night Guild were on duty, whether they were cleaning up the battlefield, treating the wounded, or standing guard.
At the sa instant, they all stopped what they were doing.
The expressions on their faces changed instantly from excitent and pride to astonishnt and bewildernt.
Finally, it turned into utter disbelief.
"What's wrong?"
The general sensed sothing was wrong and frowned as he asked.
No one answered him.
The next second.
Whoosh—!
There were over a hundred mbers of the Eternal Night Guild present.
As if receiving so silent command, they all stood up straight in unison.
Then, without prior arrangent, they all turned in the sa direction.
That's... the direction of Donghai City in the Great Xia Kingdom.
Their faces were filled with shock and panic.
An ominous premonition instantly gripped everyone's hearts.
"No...it's impossible..."
Qin Ming's lips trembled as he muttered to himself.
That connection, etched deep within their souls and inextricably linked to their lives...
That spiritual mark they were so proud of, and regarded as divine...
Disappeared?
My lord... has fallen?
