C258 (1/2)

When I fell into a coma, I don't know.

It was as if he had fallen into another long dream.

When I woke up, I found that I was still alive.

Opening his eyes, he was shocked to find that Yue Ze was close by his side. I was in his arms, to be exact.

Golden dragon qi swirled around his body, forming a shining shield that protected the top of our heads. Even the rain was blocked.

The rain had become small, but the thunder and lightning in the sky continued to rumble, creating countless sparks in the forest. As a result, green smoke began to continuously rise from the forest, and then the forest began to blaze.

Winter in the north was dry and rainy, and the forest was prone to fire. Although the rain from before had dampened the surface, the fire from the heavenly fire was not to be underestimated.

My whole body was in so much pain that even the slightest movement would cause me to groan.

Yue Ze gingerly held me in his arms, a trace of pity flashing across his face. ”Lian'er, don't move! The heavenly thunders are still continuing! ”

I turned my head to look at the hill. On that side, Yan Hua was lying on his side in the forest. His long hair was in disarray and he was motionless, as though he had fallen into a coma.

I was shocked and asked Yue Ze in a hoarse voice, ”Have you finished your ceremony? Has the dragon aura been transferred? ”

A trace of unease flashed across Yue Ze's face, but he didn't reply.

I didn't need to answer, I knew the answer.

The dragon aura around Yue Ze's body had clearly become stronger, while the light on Yan Hua's side had become dimmer. While I was unconscious, Yueze must have had what he wanted.

An indescribable anger and regret seized me. I abruptly pulled away from Yueze's arm, but was quickly seized by him. He firmly held me in his embrace, and growled, ”Aren't you going to go through a tribulation? Let's wait for the thunder and lightning to subside first!

I ignored him and raised my hand to slap him ruthlessly. There was a crisp ”pa” sound and both of us were stunned for a moment.

Then, while he was still in a daze, I pushed myself free and rolled down the slope.

A raging fire raged around Yan Hua, and he was surrounded by it.

I got up with difficulty and threw myself at him. After doing all of this, my body was in uncontrollable pain.

The punishment inflicted by the divine lightning was bone-piercing pain. However, it couldn't compare to the pain and remorse he felt right now.

Yan Hua once said that his body was harmed by poison. If I hadn't fed him poison wine last night, he wouldn't have fallen to his current state.

Or perhaps, if I hadn't pestered him to help me go through this tribulation, his own magic would have been powerful enough and he wouldn't have been so weak that he would have been ambushed.

I'm the one who killed him!

I lay down beside Yan Hua and gently shook his body.

Tears of remorse and rain poured down.

On that side, Yueze, who was on the hill, didn't immediately chase us. Instead, he stood outside the clearing and quietly watched us.

He remained silent.

I was not in the mood to care about his feelings. I just focused on channeling my energy into my zhenqi for Yan Hua.

Yan Hua, you must wake up!

The thunder continued to roll in the sky, and the rain gradually grew heavier. A gale arose, blowing out the wildfire within the forest that was brightening up and extinguishing, with the intention of becoming more and more intense.

This Heavenly Tribulation was not over. In the wind and rain, lightning flash in the firelight, I held Yan Hua, a desolate heart.

Yan Hua, please wake up!

After a long while, maybe I had used my true qi, or maybe the faint dragon qi on Yan Hua's body was supporting him, he actually opened his eyes a little!

”Join …”

He could no longer complete the sentence, but was trying to get me to move closer to him.

”I like it... I... ”I like you …”
