Duke Su
Creak——
A figure pushed open the narrow door and hurriedly walked into the room.
"Yao Qing!"
"Yao Qing!!"
Seeing an Aged Figure lying flat on the bed, motionless, Su Zhiwei's heart imdiately tightened!
Her voice began to tremble, and her entire person rushed to the bedside almost like lightning, her hands hugging Yao Qing's body... It wasn't until she felt that faint heartbeat that her tense heart relaxed a bit.
At the sa ti,
Ying Qing on the bed slowly opened his eyes.
"Zhiwei... sister..." Feeling the warmth coming from his embrace, Yao Qing spoke softly.
"Yao Qing, how do you feel?" Su Zhiwei's brows were tightly furrowed, "The situation outside has stabilized. Hold on a bit longer, I'll go beg Director Chen to save you right now..."
"No, no need..."
A look of complexity flashed in Yao Qing's eyes... He grabbed Su Zhiwei's palm and gently placed it on his left chest.
Su Zhiwei was stunned, seemingly not understanding Yao Qing's purpose for doing this. But when she felt a heartbeat coming from Yao Qing's left chest, her whole body shook, and a look of astonishnt surfaced in her eyes...
"This is..."
"That Duke Su, ca by." Yao Qing opened his mouth, his tone full of an indescribable bitterness,
"She..."
"Gave her heart."
...
Red Dust Domain, Village.
Dressed in red, she staggered across the muddy grass. Drops of fresh blood rolled down from the hem of her clothes, soaking the grass leaves that were already painted erald green by the Paintbrush into bright red... like pieces of Red Dust broken flowers.
She didn't leave like the other Dukes of the State, but still walked among this Red Dust landscape, like a traveler revisiting an old place...
She walked over the small bridge, walked over the Hill, stood on the shore where willow leaves swayed, looked at the sparkling lake, and slightly pursed her pale lips.
At the sa ti,
A figure walked out from behind her.
"Duke Su... why must you do this?" Duke of dicine looked at the girl in red whose breath was as weak as a thread before him, and sighed softly, "Although your injuries are very heavy, with here, you might not necessarily die... At worst, you just need to recuperate in bed for a few years."
"But you gave your heart to that Path of the Arts, your life force is completely severed. Even I am powerless to save the situation..."
"I accept Duke of dicine's good intentions." The girl in red smiled slightly. She weakly and slowly sat down by the willow tree, her beautiful eyes quietly looking at the sparkling lake before her,
"Even if this ruined body of mine is saved, it will be very difficult to do anything for this world again... Rather than this, it's better to give up this Demigod Position."
"Moreover..."
The girl in red gently raised her hand and placed it on her bloody and empty chest.
In her mind, a down-and-out scholar-like figure was slowly outlined... That was the love she pursued her whole life but couldn't obtain, the regret she couldn't let go of even until death.
"If my heart can help them continue walking down..."
"Perhaps..."
"It can also be considered as making up for my regret."
Looking at the girl sitting alone in the pool of blood, and those shattered yet deeply infatuated eyes, Duke of dicine sighed again.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I'll have to trouble Duke of dicine... After I die, there's no need for a burial, just let stay here." The girl's gentle voice sounded, "I like it here... Although everything here is fake, but, it's very similar to the place where we first t back then."
Duke of dicine nodded slightly and gave an "Mmm".
Neither of the two spoke again.
They just quietly listened to the wind blowing through the willow leaves, listening to the ripples on the surface of the lake.
Unknowingly, the fresh blood had already dyed the earth under the girl in red, like a bright and beautiful fallen blossom.
The girl leaned lightly against the willow tree, and her eyes closed silently.
Not knowing how long had passed,
Two figures sped over from the direction of the village.
"Her Aura, should be here..." Yao Qing felt that Path of the Courtesan Aura unique to Duke Su, and his gaze looked around.
"Over there."
Su Zhiwei saw the figure under the willow tree at a glance.
Su Zhiwei and Yao Qing walked side by side toward the willow tree, their eyes full of worry and incomprehension.
If Duke Su hadn't given her heart to Yao Qing, Yao Qing would probably have died of old age by now. Although they didn't know why she did this, the two were full of gratitude toward Duke Su... Just what kind of person could sacrifice herself to fulfill a pair of lovers when they only t by chance, or even when they were enemies?
They walked under the willow tree. Yao Qing was just about to say sothing, but Su Zhiwei gently pulled his hand...
"Wait."
"She..."
"Already has no Aura."
Yao Qing was slightly stunned.
The breeze brushed through the willow leaves. A girl as exquisite as carved jade was currently lowering her head, sitting quietly among the fallen blossoms... She was facing the lake, like a sculpture waiting for sothing.
An Old Man in white clothes, holding a smoothly polished wooden plaque, gently walked to her side.
"Duke of dicine."
Su Zhiwei recognized this Old Man. Not long ago, they were still fighting a great battle in the Red Dust Domain.
Duke of dicine smiled slightly at them, "You two, we shouldn't be enemies anymore now... I am truly sorry for the offenses earlier."
Su Zhiwei didn't want to chat about this with him. She looked at the red-clothed figure under the willow leaves and couldn't help asking:
"Who... exactly is she?"
Duke of dicine didn't answer.
He just silently wrote sothing lightly on the wooden plaque in his hand, and then gently inserted it into the ground beside Duke Su... Perhaps years later, the girl's corpse would decay and rge into the earth, then this place would beco the final resting place of her body and soul.
Even without a burial, at least, there should be a stele left behind.
As Duke of dicine stood up, Yao Qing and Su Zhiwei finally saw the na on that wooden plaque clearly...
It was a quite elegant na:
——[Tomb of Su Xiaoxiao].
...
At the sa ti.
Chen Ling, who was rapidly approaching the Red Dust Domain in the Gray World, paused slightly.
Thoughts whirled in his mind. He heard everything that happened to Su Zhiwei and Yao Qing... and astonishnt surfaced in his eyes.
"Duke Su..."
He looked down at the wound on his wrist, "That, actually saves so blood..."
He hesitated for a mont, and didn't continue approaching the Red Dust Domain. Instead, he imdiately changed direction and flew straight toward the South Sea Domain...
Buzz——!!
Just at the mont Chen Ling turned around and left,
From the direction of the Red Dust Domain not far away, a gray divine path soared into the sky. A Divine Path Star full of mystery lit up on the dim sky!
Path of the Courtesan, Divine Path Certification!
The very first mont this divine path appeared, Chen Ling guessed who had started the certification... He looked in that direction, and a look of gratification surfaced in his eyes.
"Have you finally, reached this step..."
"Congratulations..."
"Qingyan."
