Chi felt himself losing the ability to move.

What's worse, he also lost the ability to speak.

The king of mythical beasts, who was born with intelligence and strength, now had a tongue as clumsy as a stone. He could only stare blankly at the young man in front of him, unable to utter a word.

Jiang Liujing's fingers only gently pulled the corner of his clothes, but Chi felt that his heart was being pulled out from his chest through the hard ribs.

Go? How can I go?

Jiang Liujing looked at him with such an expression and tried to keep him in such a tone.

Chi couldn't move away at all.

Countless sounds of wind roared violently in his brain, pushing those emotions that rolled and surged like waves forward again and again.

She longed to merge with him, and even more so, she longed for his gaze, his attention, and his love to remain completely and solely on him, just like at this moment.

His mind went blank for a moment, and the tall young man took a step forward. Before Jiang Liujing could react, a kiss landed on his right eyebrow.

A brief kiss.

Very light, yet extremely precious.

Jiang Liujing only felt a shadow in front of him, and then a warm and soft touch flashed by. It was so fast that he didn't even react to what it was, and he met Chi's eyes again as he took a step back.

"You said it yourself." The young man, who had finally regained some composure and intelligence, spoke slowly in a hoarse voice. His eyes were extremely bright and stubborn, as if two stars were burning in them.

"I gave you a chance to be free, Miaomiao."

He gave it up on his own.

"If you don't want it, then I will never let go."

【He can only be mine. 】

"I love you."

——The words from my mouth and the echo in my heart finally coincided.

His vocal cords were vibrating, the air currents were resonating, the white bones broke through the flesh, revealing sharp stubble, stained with boiling blood, and his love was pouring out.

This time it was the boy sitting opposite him who was stunned.

His wide-open, dark pupils shimmered with a moist sheen, like sparkling gemstones in the light. A thin, hazy mist stained his eyelashes. He bit his rosy lips, looking bewildered and flustered.

But this time he didn't run away. He looked at Chi, as if trying to make up his mind. He hesitated, rubbed the ground under his shoes, and opened his mouth to say, "I..."

The door behind me was opened with a loud bang.

Wen Xun's voice appeared outside even faster than his own, coming through with great penetrating force: "Hey, you two, are you coming in or not? What are you standing at the door whispering to each other for?"

Jiang Liujing's words came to an abrupt end.

As if waking up from a dream, the boy's face quickly turned red. He lowered his head and quickly walked around Chi beside him into the house.

Wen Xun happened to walk out and was almost bumped by Jiang Liujing.

After narrowly avoiding and stabilizing herself, she looked at his back without even turning back, and was instantly shocked: "What happened to him? Did he take the wrong medicine?"

Isn't this Jiang Liujing's usual attitude?

Chi just stared at Wen Xun in silence.

"What's that look in your eyes? Do you want to fight?" Wen Xun noticed his gaze as soon as he turned around, and hissed in annoyance.

"Indeed." Chi said slowly, rolling up his sleeves.

"It's better to do it now."

-

night.

"Hahaha Wenxun hahaha why did you turn into a pig head? Did you get beaten up, or did you dress like this on purpose to make us laugh?"

Mo Ya's laughter was so earth-shaking that it made Wen Xun's face opposite him turn darker as ink. Even the bruises and swelling all over his face couldn't hide the gloom in his expression.

He wanted to glare at Mo Ya fiercely, but this action again affected his injured face, and the pain instantly distorted his facial features even more. He could only squeeze out an indistinct swear word from between his teeth.

"Fuck you"

Chu Zhou took out the medicine from the space ring, ignored Wen Xun's ferocious face, and ruthlessly applied the ointment on his face. The rough way of applying the medicine made the pain increase several times more.

Wen Xun shuddered, and the swear words in his mouth suddenly became clear: "Chu Zhou, can't you be more gentle? Are you treating someone or killing someone?"

Chu Zhou said in a calm voice without even looking up: "I don't want to discourage you, but you don't look like a human being right now."

Wen Xun: “…”

Wen Xun was filled with rage but couldn't vent it, so he slammed the table and tried to rise up.

The next second, Chu Zhou pressed on his wound. He gasped and sat back down instantly.

For the first time, he desperately wished there was a wood magician in the dormitory. Only magic could heal wounds and relieve the pain.

The culprit Chi calmly walked down from upstairs carrying a stack of empty bowls.

Chu Zhou heard footsteps, turned around and greeted him, his eyes falling on the dishes in his hands.

"Has he finished eating? Still busy?"

Chi nodded, a smile on his lips: "He is reading a book."

To be precise, it is about looking for clues in the book.

Mo Jun only had time to say one word before he was killed by an unknown being.

But he finally said a word. Jiang Liujing thought of the book that Mo Jun gave him a few days ago. As soon as he came back, he took it out and read it carefully.

Chi glanced over and saw that the content of the book was basically about the design of several special alchemical arrays, and there didn't seem to be anything unusual.

Only a little bit of Mo Jun's handwriting remained on the first page. It was a name: "Li Lingyue."

Chi had never seen it before, but at a glance, he was sure that this was the name of Mo Jun's wife.

In some ways, he and Mo Jun are indeed very similar.

So he knew that the person who could leave their name on something he loved and pursued his whole life, rather than his own, must be the most important person to the owner. There was no other possibility.

Jiang Liujing felt that Mo Jun must have hidden other clues in the book.

His last behavior clearly showed that he had foreseen his impending death, so he entrusted the task of burying his wife to Jiang Liujing. Since he could foresee this, it made no sense for him not to leave some clues in advance.

But from the surface, this book is really just an ordinary alchemy textbook.

When Chi went downstairs, Jiang Liujing was still deep in thought, his long, smooth hair all messed up by his fingers.

But when he returned, a large white light burst out in the room.

Then the boy's urgent voice was heard: "Chi, I found it!"

Chi walked quickly into the room and saw Jiang Liujing standing in front of the table with a book spread open on the table, and a bright magic circle emerged from it.

Jiang Liujing reached in with one hand and pulled out something like a scroll and a key out of thin air.

"It's a letter." Jiang Liujing opened it and scanned the words inside at a glance, pressing his fingers on the edge of the scroll with a serious expression.

"He kept his wife's remains and some failed artifacts in his basement. Besides that, he said his puppetry wasn't something he was born with, but rather that there was a force secretly helping him. He didn't know who those people were, but they could easily find him."

"He was threatened," Chi said.

"It's a two-way thing. He needs them too." Jiang Liujing shook his head. "Teacher Mo Jun...he doesn't care whether he is alive or not, but he wants to resurrect his wife."

He pointed to the last part of the scroll and handed it to Chi to read.

Chi lowered his head and saw a large area of ​​ink spreading across the brown-yellow paper.

“…I’ve done a lot of evil in my life, so it doesn’t matter what happens.

But Lingyue is different, she is a kind and perfect woman.

I hope that after I die, someone in the world will still remember her.

For twenty years, I have regretted that day.

I stood at the door and she said goodbye to me.

I just waved but didn't kiss her.

I thought it was just an ordinary goodbye.

The result was that we never met again.

Fate has stolen my love from time."
