Chapter 280: Dragon blood, dragon essence

Life, why was it so fragile.

In the past, he had ignored the death of countless lives and his hands were covered in a countless amount of fresh blood, without knowing how many lives had fallen to his hands.  Faced with other people's deaths, he had already felt no emotions at all.  Death to him was the inevitable end to a person's life, it would come eventually.

However, feeling the young girl's life disappear in his hands, he felt for the first time that death was a very cruel thing.

Since there was life, why would there be diseases and death……

His hands could not help clenching together, letting out the sound of bones cracking.  He raised his head and tightly closed his eyes as he looked up…..In this life, he only shed tears for his parents, his big brother, and Xian'er.

But being with this young girl that he didn't even know a day, hugging her as the final bit of her life faded, he almost could not stop himself from crying.  In his heart, it was so painful that he almost suffocated.

He clearly had strength that far surpa.s.sed normal people, so why were there things in this world that he could not do……He clearly said that he would make her healthy again, so why can he only feel her…..fading away in her sleep.

She was clearly very kind and pure.  She was clearly a girl made of crystals that G.o.d placed on this corrupted earth…..so why was he so anxious to take her back.

Hugging Chen Xue, tightening his grip, he protected her soft and small body in his chest, not letting her be corrupted by this world anymore.  For a long, long time…..his body maintained this posture of holding her, like he had been turned to stone.  As if he wanted to continue peacefully staying with her.  Perhaps, she really was a girl that wasn't supposed to exist on earth, so she died so quickly, being called back by the heavens.

Xue'er, if there is a next life, I will use everything I have to find you.  I'll keep you by my side and not let anything harm you……

Time pa.s.sed second by second.  Other than the sounds of the wind and the insects, there was no other sounds at all, not even the sound of breathing.  Every second that pa.s.sed, Ye Tian Xie's heart filled with the pain of ten thousand arrows.  Without knowing how long pa.s.sed, a timid voice broke the silence.

”……Master, are you sad?”  Feeling Ye Tian Xie's emotions, Guo Guo appearing in front of him spoke in a careful voice.  Guo Guo could always feel Ye Tian Xie's mood and her mood changed with his mood.  When he was happy, she would give an outrageous request, when he was not happy, she would smartly choose not to appear…..When he was sad, she would also feel sad.

”Yes…..Very sad.”  Ye Tian Xie looked up at Guo Guo and replied in a gentle voice.  His eyes were filled with clear sadness.  Not being able to save Chen Xue's life was a very large hit to him.

”Why is master feeling sad?”  Guo Guo carefully asked.

”Because Xue'er is dead.  I couldn't save her.”

Guo Guo moved very gently, carefully landing on Chen Xue.  She blinked her eyes and watched for a while before saying, ”But master, she's not dead yet…..She still has life in her.”

Ye Tian Xie was stunned, but then he revealed a bitter smile, ”When a person loses consciousness, it does not mean that their body is dead already.  The process of death comes slowly, as one's life energy drains away…..Her remaining life force will slowly disappear and she has no way of awakening anymore.  This condition is already equal to death.”

”Wu…..”  Guo Guo looked up with her tiny face and looked at Ye Tian Xie's eyes hiding his deep sadness.  This kind of expression was very rarely seen by her and it felt like something was pressing down on her heart, making her feel very uncomfortable.”

”Master, why would you be sad if she died?”  Guo Guo asked a very silly question.

”Because once she dies, she will not be able to move and I can't hear her voice anymore.  I will no longer be able to see her.  Just like…..if I die, would Guo Guo feel sad?”

Faced with this question, Guo Guo blinked her eyes and tilted her head to think for a while before nodding, ”Wu, I probably would.  Because if master could not move or talk…..no one will buy lollipops for Guo Guo and no one will talk to Guo Guo.”

Ye Tian Xie: ”……”

”Then if she wakes up, will master not be sad anymore?”  Guo Guo asked another question that seemed silly.

The young girl in his chest did not lose the last bit of warmth in her, so Ye Tian Xie could still feel her existence……Her final moment of existence.  He tightly hugged her and gently said, ”If she can awaken, then I will thank the heavens for their will….Only, Guo Guo, people can't revive after dying.  It will never happen…..”

”But, but, she's not dead yet and can still come back to life.”  Guo Guo looked at Chen Xue for a while before tilting her little head and saying this.

”She is already dead.”  Ye Tian Xie slowly shook his head, with a needle piercing his heart.  Although the final bit of her life was not gone, she could no longer wake up…..On earth, this was considered death.

”Yiya!  Master is so dumb!  If Guo Guo says she isn't dead, then she isn't dead.  Guo Guo is the most intelligent and will never be wrong…..Ya!  Master, if she can awaken, will you no longer be sad……Master, why do you have her to wake up?”

”Because dead people will never come back to life.”  If it was normal times, Ye Tian Xie would have become impatient from Guo Guo's seemingly idiotic questions…..He would even collapse from being asked.  But right now, he just look forward like a piece of wood, replying in a mechanical manner to Guo Guo.  Chen Xue's death was too much of a hit to him…..second only to Xian'er's departure.  Because this was his first time that an important person to him lost their live in front of him.

”Yi?  Master can clearly wake her up, why do you say you can't?”  Guo Guo revealed a look of deep curiosity.  This expression, why was it being shown?
