C36 (1/2)
It was the wooden clothes from the Spirit Palace.
Yun Duan suddenly opened her eyes. There was some unease in her eyes, and her voice was filled with uncontrollable panic. ”What's wrong?”
”The Sixth Prince is critically ill, I wish to see you one last time!”
Yun Duan's body staggered and he fell off the bed. The others cried out in shock, ”Master!”
Qiong Ying held onto the cloud with her hands and said, ”Mistress, you have to take care of yourself!”
Yun Duan opened her mouth, but her eyes were filled with panic. Qin Ni rushed over with Qiong Ying to help her up.
”Go, go quickly!” Yun Duan's eyes were red and her voice was hoarse.
The few of them hurriedly headed towards the Spirit Palace. The snow was falling heavily, and the cold wind was chilling to the bone.
In the distance, looking at the three words, 'Spiritual Palace', the clouds seemed to have lost all their energy, unable to move even a single step.
Qin Ni worriedly held on to her, her voice full of love: ”Master!”
Yun Duan took a step forward. Her steps were unsteady.
When they arrived at the Spirit Palace, the courtyard was filled with kneeling people. Yun Duan quickly walked in. The entire hall was filled with doctors, most of whom were probably already there. The entire hall was filled with kneeling people.
”Cough, cough, cough …” The sound of coughing could be heard intensely from the curtain. The entire hall was silent, but only the sound of coughing could be heard.
Yun Duan's body shook slightly, she opened the door and entered the room while coughing out blood. She looked like she wanted to say something, but no sound came out, her face was so pale that it seemed like she would disappear in the next second. Her emaciated face had already lost its original appearance, and the disease dragged her into an abyss of pain, leaving her with no way to turn back.
Yun Duan grabbed his hand and kneeled in front of his bed, her voice choked with sobs. ”What a long way to go …”
He wanted to get up, but he didn't have the energy. Yun Duan bit her lips and stood up to pull him into her embrace. Her eyes were filled with water vapor.
”Sister, you …” You let them all... Get out! ”
Yun Duan nodded. ”Alright!”
She cleared her throat. The pain in her throat was still as obvious as ever. She raised her voice slightly, ”Did you all hear that? The Sixth Prince wants you all to leave!”
”…”
”Wang Ji, this …” The Sixth Prince also did not allow for treatment. Although it was really impossible, if he were to try again …
”Scram!” Yun Duan coldly snorted, bringing with it a strong pressure.
All of the doctors trembled as they looked at each other before retreating out of the room.
He leaned against Yun Duan's chest, and after a long while, he finally opened his mouth gently. His voice seemed to float in the air, sounding a little unreal.
”Sister, I know, my time is up!”
Yun Duan suddenly tightened her grip on him as she bit her lips. The moisture in her eyes had already evaporated.
”I didn't ask the doctors to diagnose me again. My body, I know!”
Even if he was diagnosed, it would be of no use. He already felt that he could not hold on any longer.
”Sister, I have something to request of you right now, whether you agree or not, I will say it!”
Yun Duan might be able to guess what he was about to say, but she only hugged him a little tighter. Her voice was hoarse as she said, ”Speak!”
Lu Li pursed his lips and felt weak. After a while, he said softly, ”The longevity lock I gave you …” You must not lose it, what is kept in the longevity lock is your life, and what is sealed in the longevity lock are the lives of millions of people in the world, your longevity lock is safe in the world, your longevity lock is dead, your people are dead! ”
Usually, she would stay close to him and keep it under her clothes, so even if she wore it, it wouldn't show itself. This morning, when she woke up, she was so bored that she fell out of bed on her own and left it outside.
Who would have thought that this thing would have such a great meaning? And since it was so bold as to hand it over to her, wasn't she afraid that she would take it and perish together with Emperor Chen?
This world was useless to her. She only needed to bear her own hatred, and after that, why must she bear such a heavy responsibility?
”Sister, the only one I can trust now is you!”
”You are the only one left now …” ”To be able to keep this world in check, sister, you will definitely promise me that, won't you?”
Yun Duan's entire body stiffened. If she had only gotten that position in order to take revenge on the Sunset Emperor, then all the meaning of agreeing to the great journey had changed.
From revenge to protection, this change was something she couldn't accept. Besides, how could a person filled with hatred be protected?
