Chapter 109: A little torture, run!
Shen Jun's falling body was caught in Qi Qingchuan's arms. There was no blood on his pale face, only the blood flowing from the corners of his mouth soaked the cloth on Qi Qingchuan's chest.
Not far away, Tan Zhi was like a centipede, dead but still alive. He struggled to get up, but due to excessive blood loss, he was unable to get up from the ground after struggling for a long time.
Xuantian flew out instantly and pierced Tanzhi's chest with a sword, nailing him firmly in place.
A strong demonic energy spread out, bending the surrounding trees a little. Xian Yang and the people from Qingyue Mountain who arrived late were blown away by this spiritual power.
"Shen Jun! - Shen Jun -! You...why the hell are you...why!" Qi Qingchuan half-hugged Shen Jun, not daring to use any strength in his hands.
Everything just happened too suddenly, and Qi Qingchuan was pulled under Shen Jun's protection before he even had time to react.
The blood formation exploded, creating a big hole where the mountain gate was. After all, because of Qi Qingchuan's Xuantian, the blood formation was destroyed for a moment, its power was weakened by a large amount.
Even so... Shen Jun, who was in the center of the blood formation, was still blown to pieces.
Qi Qingchuan hugged Shen Jun and slowly remembered to use his own demon pill to protect his body. With trembling hands, he tried to inject some demonic energy to mobilize the demon pill that belonged to him in Shen Jun's body.
The moment the evil spirit entered his body, Qi Qingchuan's fox eyes widened instantly and the buzzing sound in his ears became louder and louder.
"Where is the demon pill... my... demon pill... why, why is it gone?" Qi Qingchuan hugged Shen Jun, and tears as big as beans rolled down in an instant, hitting Shen Jun's face with scorching temperature.
"For them, can you really risk your life, Shen Jun... What about me! What about me! Who am I! What the hell am I in your heart! If you want me, you can take me. If you don't want me, you can just kick me away!" Qi Qingchuan asked this question while hugging Shen Jun's body. He almost roared.
Shen Jun had only a trace of consciousness left, and when Qi Qingchuan asked him this, he felt a faint pain in his heart.
He summoned the last bit of strength in his body, raised his hand, and wiped away the tears from the corners of Qi Qingchuan's eyes.
Sensing the movements of the person in his arms, Qi Qingchuan almost subconsciously grabbed the person's hand and slowly put it on his face, his pair of handsome fox eyes filled with sadness.
"Not just... for... them, just now... before the explosion, the only thing I thought of... was... you." Shen Jun said what he was thinking in a weak voice.
The moment the blood formation exploded, Shen Jun could only think of protecting Qi Qingchuan and not letting him get hurt.
Qi Qingchuan held Shen Jun's hand tightly, and tears welled up in his eyes again. Shen Jun looked at him like this, and his heart, which had gradually stopped beating, began to ache violently.
“The demon pill... your demon pill, I have protected it. It is... in the statue of the divine fox in the temple at the border between humans and demons... I was unfair to you back then. Now... I will return it... to you.” As Shen Jun spoke, a tear slowly flowed from the corner of his eye.
Shen Jun's body gradually began to lose consciousness, and his mind was slowly slipping away. He looked at Qi Qingchuan, his eyes could no longer hold back the tears of despair, and he wanted to say something but was in so much pain that he couldn't open his mouth.
"No! I don't want your apology! Why can you take it away and return it as you say? You can't pay it back, Shen Jun, you will never be able to pay it back in this lifetime... I won't let you die, do you understand?"
As Qi Qingchuan spoke, he raised his hand and waved, and Xuantian in the distance instantly flew back to his hand. He held the sword in one hand and stabbed Xuantian into his chest regardless of anything.
In an instant, demonic energy grew stronger at the gap, and an object emitting strong demonic energy and light slowly flew out from Qi Qingchuan's chest.
"Qi...Qi Qingchuan!" Shen Jun saw what he wanted to do and quickly stretched out his hand to stop Qi Qingchuan.
But he had no strength left in his hands, and could only watch Qi Qingchuan feed the bloody demon pill into his mouth regardless of anything.
"He can be saved, for sure. Hold on... hold on, okay... let's go now..." Qi Qingchuan said, and then he used all his strength to pick up the man. Even though his body was shaking so much that he was about to collapse, Qi Qingchuan still held Shen Jun steady.
"Achuan! What are you doing! You will die!" Xianyang chased after Qi Qingchuan and grabbed him. He no longer had the leisurely and carefree look of the past, and his tone was more nervous than ever before.
Along with Xianyang came people from Qingyue Mountain, but Qi Qingchuan seemed not to hear anything and just silently chanted a spell.
Xuantian moved in accordance with the time, drawing a sharp sword energy in the air, instantly knocking everyone following Qi Qingchuan away.
When everyone got up from the ground, Qi Qingchuan was nowhere to be seen.
*
In the temple, in front of the fox statue, Qi Qingchuan had just landed with Shen Jun in his arms, and the fox's chest began to emit a dazzling light as if it sensed something.
The next second, a piece of something that looked like jade and spiritual stone flew out from the fox's chest. Upon closer inspection, its shape resembled a gardenia blooming in the wind.
The thing seemed to sense something and slowly flew towards Qi Qingchuan. It circled and leaped around the two of them, as if it was thinking about whose body to enter. Or perhaps, it had been away from Qi Qingchuan for too long, and even he himself could hardly recognize who his master was.
Qi Qingchuan stretched out his hand, and a stream of green smoke slowly flowed into Shen Jun's body from his palm. The new demon pill that he had just fed into Shen Jun's body emitted the same light as the old demon pill at Shen Jun's dantian.
After a moment, the new demon pill was also summoned and slowly flew out of Shen Jun's body. Under the bright light, it could be faintly seen that the new demon pill looked like a crooked heart.
The two demon pills were flying and entangled in the air, and the new demon pill could actually merge with the missing part in the middle of the original one.
Together, they emitted a green light that protected Jiang Shenjun's body tightly, and his scattered consciousness actually returned a little.
"You won't die, Shen Jun... You won't die..." Qi Qingchuan hugged Shen Jun tightly, as if only this way could he keep him.
Won't he die? Shen Jun thought, but... he will definitely die. He promised the system to kill Tan Zhi. Now that the mission has been completed, he should leave...
His life was in countdown, but Qi Qingchuan was still trying his best to save him, to save the person who had hurt him.
"It's not worth it... Qi Qingchuan, it's not worth it, stop it, I'm no longer the same person I used to be... Why do you have to... Why do you treat me like this?" Shen Jun said, the sour feeling in his heart and waves of intense pain spreading to every part of his body.
This silly fox, why, why would he give away everything he has if others were just a little bit nice to him.
"No, I won't let go! Forever and ever, as long as I'm alive, I will never let go. From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever asked me what I really want! Why do you think that what you give me is what I want! Why... Shen Jun, you can't do this to me..."
Qi Qingchuan hugged Shen Jun almost paranoidly, and warm tears flowed down his cheeks to Shen Jun's neck uncontrollably.
Why? Qi Qingchuan thought, from childhood to adulthood, no one had ever asked him if he was lonely, no one had ever asked him if he was unhappy, and no one was willing to stay with him for a long time.
His parents only gave him a seemingly noble status but never gave him the love he deserved. It seemed that he was destined to endure loneliness from the moment he was born.
Until he met Shen Jun in the woods, who was as helpless and frail as he was, he finally became someone's concern and the only support in someone's heart. He thought he could stay with this mortal until old age.
But the lifespan of mortals is so short and so fragile, and he will be alone again after he leaves... So Qi Qingchuan wanted to pass on his demonic energy to this poor human at all costs.
He wanted to go on walking with Shen Jun forever, but... Shen Jun was gone. The only human being who was willing to accompany him disappeared right before his eyes... Qi Qingchuan became a human again.
Lonely days are always hard to endure. When one is alone, those scenes of their companionship and understanding are always brought out and replayed over and over in one's mind, corroding Qi Qingchuan's nerves like poison, leaving a mark named Shen Jun deep in his soul.
He is still like a thief who peeks into other people's happiness, silently guarding those forgotten memories.
It was not until he met Shen Jun again that his loneliness was finally dispelled. However, Shen Jun only wanted to take his demon pill. Although Qi Qingchuan knew that Shen Jun was approaching his goal, he could not help but sink into it again and again...
But what about now? Why, why did Shen Jun still want to leave... Why did he leave him alone again?
"Don't go, okay? I can't bear it, Shen Jun... I can't bear to lose you again... It hurts too much, brother... I can't bear it, I really can't bear it..." Qi Qingchuan's voice trembled, and he whimpered pitifully like the baby animal in his hands.
He prayed, wanting his lover to stay with him a little longer... not leave.
Shen Jun's consciousness was protected by the demon pill. He could barely hear Qi Qingchuan's voice, but he couldn't open his mouth to comfort him.
He said it would be very painful, he said... he would not be able to bear it, but... I am leaving, Qi Qingchuan, I'm sorry, I'm leaving, please forget me, will it not be so painful then?
As Shen Jun thought about it, the last bit of his consciousness began to fade. The things in the demon pill kept flowing into his body, but it could no longer hold him back for a moment.
[Host, congratulations on completing your mission. You are about to leave this world, please be prepared! ] 031's voice came again in my mind.
All his tears had dried up, and Shen Jun's mind and soul seemed to be torn apart by a huge force, clamoring to drive him away from here.
The body in his arms began to gradually become transparent. Qi Qingchuan held him, but felt that Shen Jun's body was getting lighter and lighter.
The demon pill was still being delivered, but the demonic energy lingered around Shen Jun and could no longer stop his life from slipping away.
"Shen Jun... Shen Jun! Please don't go... Please, don't go..." Qi Qingchuan used up almost all his strength to hold him tightly, but Shen Jun, who was becoming more and more transparent, was as light as a butterfly that could fly away at any time.
The rich scent of gardenia instantly exploded in the air. The more Qi Qingchuan wanted to hug him tighter, the faster Shen Jun's body dissipated.
Qi Qingchuan just watched as Shen Jun's body gradually, bit by bit, turned into bursts of rich fragrance in his hands that drifted away with the wind. The pain in his heart was like being pierced by thousands of arrows, and Qi Qingchuan was in so much pain that he had difficulty breathing.
The last piece of Shen Jun's clothes also disappeared in Qi Qingchuan's arms. He used so much force with his hands that his nails dug into his flesh and blood flowed out, but he still couldn't hold Shen Jun at all.
The moment Shen Jun disappeared, the demon pill emitted the last ray of light. They tried their best but failed to help Qi Qingchuan keep the person. They turned into a wisp of green smoke and slowly flew into Shen Jun's body, forming a gardenia mark on his smooth chest.
The tears had all dried up, but there was still liquid flowing out of the eye sockets. It was Qi Qingchuan's blood.
He just knelt on the ground, hugging Shen Jun. The fragrance wafting from Shen Jun's body in the air enveloped him, like a lover's last attachment to him before leaving.
They surrounded Qi Qingchuan and refused to disperse for a long time. Qi Qingchuan was crying blood, his legs were numb from kneeling, and the roar coming from his head almost tore his sanity apart.
Qi Qingchuan stared blankly at the empty space in his arms. A familiar, noisy sound seemed to come to his mind again, as if millions of people were shouting together.
Noisy, fierce, and trying to tear him apart completely...
In the last second before he lost consciousness, he seemed to see that familiar face in mid-air.
Qi Qingchuan stretched out his hand to touch something, but touched nothing.
"You are not allowed to leave... Shen Jun, no matter where you are... I will... catch you." These were the last words Qi Qingchuan said before he lost consciousness.
In the chaos, a cold electronic voice suddenly came to Qi Qingchuan's mind, [System 001 is at your service. ]
[Master... Damn it! Why does it look so dead? Hold on, Master!]
001 An anxious voice exploded in his mind. The next second, Qi Qingchuan felt that the demonic energy in his body that had stagnated and solidified began to flow slowly again due to the external force.
[NPC Xianyang Qingping has been dispatched to treat the patient. Please hold on no matter what! ]
[If you are gone, this world will collapse! Please don't let it get to you, Master!]
001 shouted, and managed to bring Qi Qingchuan back to his senses.
Suddenly, a pair of beautiful fox eyes opened, and it seemed to be looking at another time and space through Xian Yang in front of it...
His rationality quickly returned, but the corners of Qi Qingchuan's mouth suddenly curled up in a strange arc.
Shen Jun, the mark of gardenia imprinted on my soul will guide me to find you again... no matter in which time and space, no matter where you... are.
My love, wait for me.
