Chapter 472: The Difficulties of Heaven's Tribulation
Dual Cultivation must not be interrupted.
Whether it's external factors or an intentional inner disruption by someone.
Both individuals would suffer unparalleled severe damage, and I remembered all the memories of Yu Longting killing our first child.
The chilling cold seemed to pervade from the bottom of my heart, and later, his kindness to me was nothing but a sham.
Being anywhere near Yu Longting made me feel utterly nauseous.
Not to mention, it was the Dual Cultivation where two people's true selves fused.
At this moment, my mind was in total turmoil, and I withdrew the Spiritual Power we were sharing.
My meridians felt as though scorched by fire, at any second they might fracture inch by inch.
Yu Longting's own healing injuries were not only reverted to their original state, but they were also worsening, yet he still unilaterally output his Spiritual Power to protect my Spiritual Sense, "Create a new Small Heavenly Cycle within your own body, or you won't just lose the Purple Flame, but your meridians will completely break, listen to me."
"I don't want your Spiritual Power, Yu Longting, you want me alive just... just so you can kill our second child conveniently, for your... ludicrous revenge, revenge against my father..."
With tears streaming down my face, I resisted Yu Longting's Spiritual Power.
But he was obstinately one-track minded, regardless of how I struggled and resisted.
Yu Longting still output his Spiritual Power without regrets, "If you want to take revenge on me, you should stay alive and witness the day I die, shouldn't you... huh..."
This time, Yu Longting spit out several mouthfuls of blood.
Three Life Lamps inside his body dimmed by two at the same time.
From the peak of our Dual Cultivation earlier, as vigorous as the morning sun, now it was but a firefly flame about to extinguish.
If this continued, he really would die.
"Yu Longting, you won't die, I won't let you die," my mind was in chaos, although I had fully regained my memory.
The memory brought me back to that day of pouring rain, atop the high peaks of the Serpent Domain.
He killed our child with a single sword strike, and I still... I still couldn't bring myself to kill him by my own hands, even couldn't bear to see him get hurt.
I glanced at the purple Phoenix Heavenly Fire and gently reached out.
I discarded all the benefits brought by Dual Cultivation, channeling all the Spiritual Power into the Little White Snake.
In an instant, my Purple Flame regressed to its most debilitated form, becoming a red flame flicker that would soon extinguish.
His injuries healed once again, and although the inner core hadn't fully recovered, it was not getting any worse...
That was enough, to trade the evolved heavenly fire for his absence of severe damage.
It was enough.
The dark red figure closed its eyes in self-derision and despair.
"Now that you remember, why don't you kill me, or watch me self-destruct? Why sacrifice yourself to save me?" our shared Qi Sea gradually disappeared, and the voice of Little White Snake echoed in the dark emptiness,
"Wanwan, what are you thinking exactly?"
I could feel his humble affection as he rubbed his snake head against the back of my foot; deep inside, I found that I too was equally fond and reliant on him.
"Yu Longting, you kill me, please, why can't I distinguish right from wrong for you. I am beyond redemption..." I murmured, completely loathing myself, hating him to the bone.
But I couldn't bring myself to kill him, to avenge our child.
Just before Yu Longting's true self completely disappeared from my Qi Sea, his gentle voice echoed like a persistent drizzle, reaching the deepest part of my heart, "Wanwan, you haven't loved the wrong person, really."
I was lost in the dark Qi Sea and meridians for three days.
I determined the time aimlessly within the Sea of Consciousness by the speed of the Small Heavenly Cycle's rotation.
When I came to, I felt the dampness at the corners of my eyes, and the cool body of a snake underneath me. Yu Longting's snake form was coiled on the stone bed, allowing me to sleep on top of him.
