C55 (1/2)

I faked my death and entered the Royal Tomb as I wished.

That bead was used as a gag bead and placed into Ye Li's mouth. Ye Li's corpse was vivid and lifelike. It seemed like he had only fallen asleep, not dead.

I took a deep breath. I knew he was in an unusual state.

Perhaps he was undergoing some unknown change.

Perhaps, in some way, he would be alive again.

But I couldn't give him the chance. I had to take the bead out of his mouth.

I had just touched him, but he had opened his eyes. The green ones were staring at me with a hint of confusion in them.

I was startled.

He stood up and stared at me.

I forced myself to calm down, and then, when he wasn't paying attention, I kicked him hard.

But he was all right.

I have to get that bead, I have to save the steel. My mind raced, and I desperately wanted to think of a way to knock down the living dead king in front of me.

Perhaps it was due to my prayers, but at such a critical moment, I managed to think of a solution.

My Moonlight Pearl has the function of purification.

And he, Ye Li Yuan, was a zombie.

Zombies were formed from the turbid air between heaven and earth, a species where all living things were extinct! My Pearl of Moonlight should be able to deal with him!

As I expected.

Ye Liuyuan was very afraid of my Divine Moonlight Pearl, but I endured the grief in my heart and watched his skin, white as cream, slowly turn black and dry until he fell onto the ground and could no longer move.

Soon, he began to stink.

The body was rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

I immediately picked up the pearl that was dropped on the ground. The pearl emitted a glazed luster, making it look extremely beautiful. However, this bead had already been contaminated by Ye Li.

I stayed in the tomb for three days, waiting for the blue steel to save me.

On the day I died for Ye Li Yuan, I said to Qing Jue, ”I will wait for you in the Royal Tomb.”

I knew that Qing Jue would understand what I meant.

Three days later, I also waited for the Blue Luan.

The two of us will quietly leave the Royal Tomb. It's not easy to find a way in from the outside, but we can find a way out from the inside.

This was because the craftsmen who built the Royal Tomb would often secretly build themselves an escape route.

The Blue Luan and I ran out from that small path.

After escaping, I changed my identity and survived.

Furthermore, I am married to Qing Jue.

I always knew that Qing Jue loved me, and I loved him.

It was just that the love was too heavy, too heavy for me to say and not willing to say it out loud.

Once, I thought we could live innocently and happily ever after, as long as we had each other. However, when the threat of death came, I had to consider more factors.

I began to feel cold, or rather, I ignored his kindness.

Looking at his sad appearance, I also felt bad inside.

Sometimes, I think, clearly two people in love, clearly two people who want to get close to each other, why, when trying so hard to get close to each other, would it be so hard?

The cyan blanks were like a big stone, pressing down on my heart.

All I could think about was how to save him.

The moment I saw Ye Li, I suddenly felt something. I felt a sort of destiny, a mission, a responsibility.

However, for the sake of love, for the sake of saving Heaven, I betrayed the mission given to me by God.

Qing Jue and I left the Jin and Hui dynasties.
