Chapter 218 : The Hallmaster Wants to Get Married Off End (1/2)

Shi Sheng was sent flying by the aftershock and slammed into the city wall behind her. Her ears were buzzing and she only recovered from the shock a while later.

Her heart thumped wildly, as if it was about to leap out of her chest.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Her heartbeat raced like thunder.

She stared dumbly; her gaze landed at the epicentre of the explosion. It was completely empty. The only thing visible was the black ash raining from the sky.

Quite a few people had been caught in the explosion, collectively producing a cacophony of wails and shrieks.

Everything seemed to move in slow-motion as various scenes flashed before Shi Sheng’s eyes.

The sky suddenly turned overcast. She seemed to hear someone call “Hallmaster!”

The voice was hoarse and full of panic.It pierced her ears and rung into the deepest recesses of her soul, shocking her out of her stupor. Shi Sheng glanced up with difficulty, but everything had turned grey.

“Hallmaster’s here! Hallmaster…”

At the mention of this, Shi Sheng suddenly shot up and bolted over, shoving aside the people in her way. She saw someone supporting the red-clothed man on the ground by the back of his head.

He appeared exceedingly dishevelled, but the slight rise and fall of his chest gave an indication that he was still alive.

“Bu Jingyun.” Shi Sheng’s voice was trembling slightly. She quickly squatted down and looked at the blood-covered man on the ground. She suddenly felt at a loss as to what she should do. In this moment, her usual calm shattered like glass .

She didn’t need anyone to take hits for her.

It wasn’t necessary…

Bu Jingyun’s eyes opened slightly. There seemed to be a blinding light illuminated within his eyes, brilliant to the extreme.

The Sentinel frantically poured a large variety of pills into his mouth, but to no avail.

“Hallmaster…” The Sentinel was nearly in tears. ‘These are the best healing pills in the Nine Provinces, why are they useless?’

“Yao…” Bu Jingyun suddenly reached his hand out towards Shi Sheng, who hurriedly held on to it.

“Don’t speak. I won’t let you die,” she spoke while taking out an array of rare items from her space. But no matter what she used, Bu Jingyun showed no signs of recuperating. Those things were useless to him.

Shi Sheng stared dumbly at him. ‘Why is it like this?’

This was probably the only time Bu Jingyun had ever seen her this shaken, and he was the reason behind it.

The thought made him feel quite honoured.

A smile bloomed on his face, and he spoke in a voice so small, it was nearly inaudible, “Can… Can you kiss me?”

Shi Sheng blanked out for a bit from this request, but a moment later, she seemed to have thought of something aslowered her body to kiss him, sending an endless flow of spirit energy into his body in the process.

Her spirit energy was pouring into Bu Jingyun’s body when suddenly, she felt a palpitation within her heart as a familiar aura engulfed her.

Shi Sheng widened her eyes in disbelief.

But the man she was kissing had already stopped breathing, peacefully reclining in her arms. There was still a ghost of a smile on his face, as if he was merely sleeping.

Only after a long, long while passed, did Shi Sheng manage to mutter a name, “Feng… Feng Ci…”

Afterwards, Shi Sheng didn’t allow anyone else to touch Bu Jingyun. Her fierce demeanor made even the Sentinel reluctant to approach.

She disappeared with Bu Jingyun in her arms.

……

Atop a mountain, a young girl stood tall, allowing the surging winds to beat against her cheeks.

Beside her, a red-clothed man was silently laid out on top of a rock, his head tilting slightly to the side as the wind buffeted his red robe.

Had one not already known that he was dead, most people’s first impression would be that he was still alive, merely sleeping.

Shi Sheng’s body was cold from the wind. She stared out over the distant city, he gaze empty. A strange sensation surged through her body like lightning, leaving her mind a blank.
