Chapter 957: Nie Qing!
“Remember when Tang Bing controlled your body to self-detonate?”
Ru Heshi’s words guided old memories back to Bai Xiaofei.
“At that time, you survived on your props as well as physical quality, but it was only enough to keep your life hanging by a thread. The Violethorn girl returned to her kingdom to find a way to cure you, but we all knew that you would have been dead by the time she came back. So, our little sister used a puppet that she secretly linked behind our back, Sacrificial Redemption.”
Bai Xiaofei was stunned to hear the puppet’s name. Sacrificial Redemption was a puppet very famous for its story.
Its creator had created it to save her sweetheart, but the price of using this puppet was one’s life force!
The puppetsmith never welcomed her own happiness after. Facing the old and weak her, her sweetheart chose to run away. After that, she committed suicide…
“Where is Qing’er?!” Bai Xiaofei immediately asked as Nie Qing occupied his entire mind.
“Calm down, I haven’t finished yet,” said Ru Heshi.
The man’s relaxed nature nearly drove Bai Xiaofei mad, but he could only listen quietly.
“I’m sure you’re curious why she looked normal when you saw her after you woke up. Because she didn’t want you to see her old, so she took a poison pill.”
When Ru Heshi mentioned this, the Thunderstorm Bandits all had sad expressions on their faces, while Bai Xiaofei stood still in shock.
“A Final Radiance Pill, which recovers the user’s youth for seven days, after which their life force will rapidly drain away. Theoretically, this is guaranteed death!”
Hearing this, Bai Xiaofei’s mind went blank. Then, the scenes from that time flashed one after another.
Why Nie Qing suddenly changed her mind and insisted that he accompany her for six days… Why she had never said anything about the future, and never slept during those six days… And why she, who had always been a little aloof, suddenly became so bold…
All of his doubts were cruelly answered at this moment…
“However…” Ru Heshi added just as Bai Xiaofei started to despair.
“However, what?!” Bai Xiaofei’s eyes lit up with hope.
Listening intently, those two words were what Bai Xiaofei absolutely wanted to hear most now!
“However, what happened was different from what we all expected. After the seven-day period, her vitality began to leave her body, but another flow of life force surged within her and offset the pill’s effect. Although this force was barely sufficient, it preserved her life.”
Hearing this, Bai Xiaofei grabbed Ru Heshi’s arm as if clinging to his salvation. “What must I do?! Where is Qing’er?! She can still be saved, right?!”
