The funny counterattack of traveling through time and space and becoming a vicious female supporting

Chapter 268 Pluto Comes in Person

Soon after, Yinping hurried into the side hall, knelt on the ground, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the Queen wants you to go over quickly. The Sixth Princess... the princess is dying!"

Yun Junrui suddenly felt cold all over, as if his soul had been torn apart once again. Everything in front of him became blurry, and the pain in his chest was like a sharp knife stabbing into him. His wife, even though she had promised him that she would always be there for him, could no longer hold on. Once, he vowed to protect her forever, but now everything seemed to have come to an abrupt end. His heart felt as if it had been pulled out, and he stood there speechless. The oppression in the air made it almost impossible to breathe.

Feng Yi ignored Yun Junrui, who froze in his tracks, and rushed towards the main hall. Each step felt incredibly heavy, as if every echo in the universe were crashing down on his chest. Behind layers of curtains, he heard his wife Guli's anxious voice: "Ling'er, hold on a little longer! Your father will be here soon. Don't fall asleep!" Every word cut through Feng Yi's heart like a sharp blade. Tears welled in his eyes, but he dared not let them fall.

He quickly walked over to his daughter and softly soothed her, "Ling'er, Father is here. Your mother said you want to become the Female Phoenix Emperor, right? As soon as you wake up, Father will pass the throne to you, okay?" Feng Yi gently stroked his daughter's hair, gazing into Lu Ling'er's gradually blurring eyes. His hands trembled constantly, and though he fought to hold back the pain, he could no longer conceal the despair within. He called out to her desperately, hoping she could hear him, hoping she could give him another glimmer of hope.

Lu Jingheng's footsteps gradually approached. He and Lu Ling'er had grown up together, and they were like twins, a boy and a girl, with a deep connection. Even without words, their emotions were already intertwined. Lu Jingheng's eyes were filled with deep pain and reluctance. He slowly spoke, "Sister, you haven't seen your clumsy husband yet. He can't even hatch a phoenix egg. Don't sleep! He's so stupid. What if he hurts my little nephew?"

He deliberately kept his tone teasing, hoping to elicit a reaction from his sister, but every word felt like the final straw that broke the camel's back. He could sense, more than anyone else, that his sister's life force was fading, her soul gradually breaking free from its ties to them. His heart was filled with unspeakable pain and guilt.

At this moment, Yun Junrui finally stumbled to Lu Ling'er's bedside. His eyes were filled with anxiety and pain, and he clutched the golden phoenix egg tightly in his hands, as if it were his only support. His hands were shaking violently, barely able to hold the egg steady, fearing that if he wasn't careful, he would drop the precious egg and lose it forever. He stared fixedly at Lu Ling'er, the endless helplessness and pain in his eyes almost swallowing him.

Her younger brother Yun Junche and father Yun Xiaoling followed closely behind, each holding the two remaining eggs, silently guarding this sole hope. Their eyes held an unspeakable sense of oppression and fear, as if the entire world were crumbling before them. They understood that this wasn't just the hope of Lu Ling'er and Yun Junrui, but the future of the entire Phoenix Clan.

Gu Yazhu held Yun Junrui tightly, fearing he would fall from excessive tension and exhaustion and lose control of the Phoenix Egg. Her eyes were filled with concern, ready to support him whenever he needed it. Her hands trembled slightly, yet her voice was remarkably calm. "Junrui, stay calm. Ling'er will definitely hold on."

Yun Junrui took a deep breath and gently placed the three eggs on the small table beside him. His eyes never left Lu Ling'er, filled with helplessness and pain. "Ling'er, don't worry. I will definitely hatch the eggs. We will definitely get through this safely." His voice was trembling and urgent, as if it was a last ditch plea, but Lu Ling'er's eyes were gradually blurring, as if she was responding to him, but also as if she was telling him that she could no longer bear it.

Yun Junrui held Lu Ling'er's cold little hand, knelt down and begged bitterly: "Ling'er, you promised your husband, how could you be so cruel? Look at our children, they haven't even seen you, why are you leaving us? You always said you didn't like those royal things, the emperor's harem of three thousand concubines and the royal life of having three wives and four concubines. Then your husband will not be the crown prince, I will just be your husband who lives in your wife's family, okay? Come back, I will agree to everything you say..."

Before he could finish his words, he couldn't hold back his tears, which finally flowed down his cheeks. They dripped onto Lu Ling'er's hands, as if he had exhausted all his strength for her. At this moment, he was no longer able to bear the weight of fate. Although all his pleas were like empty cries, he still refused to give up that faint glimmer of hope.

At this moment, Li Yun suddenly rushed into the hall, followed closely by the two eminent monks, Jingkong and Xuankong. Li Yun's heart trembled at the sight of the scene before him, but he remained calm and saluted Feng Yi, "My young prince pays his respects to the Phoenix Emperor and the Phoenix Empress."

Jingkong and Xuankong walked up to Feng Yi and saluted, "I, the humble monk, wish to pay my respects to the Emperor and Empress Feng."

Feng Yi's expression grew increasingly heavy, sensing the situation was irreversible. He seemed to understand that Lu Ling'er's fate was sealed, and no matter what, this time, they had no choice but to let her go.

"Prince, please accept my condolences," Jingkong whispered, his eyes filled with an unconcealable sorrow. "Princess Feng Liu's training in the mortal realm has been completed. She will return to the upper realm to continue her cultivation. Amitabha."

Xuan Kong turned to Li Yun and suddenly saw Li Yun clasping his hands together. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Hades came to pick up Princess Feng Liu personally?"

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Li Yun. Li Yun lowered his head awkwardly, remained silent, and silently accepted everyone's surprised looks.
