Chapter 141: Beautiful but Short-Lived
Chapter 141: Beautiful but Short-Lived
As the three were staring at each other, a chilling wind suddenly rose, and a thin layer of ice formed around the water's surface.
Zhongli Yueluo shivered from the cold. It felt like the oppressive aura emanating from condensed magical power, but she couldn't see anyone.
Yingxue covered her mouth and squinted her eyes, looking somewhat helpless.
“No one from out of town has come here for a long time, so he might not be used to it yet. Ah Che, don’t be stubborn.”
Ah Che? Han Che... Snow Ghost!
But I didn't sense any other person's presence, and even Yingxue's presence was very faint.
Yan Ruoyu instinctively shielded Zhongli Yueluo behind her.
Then Han Che appeared in front of them like a ghost, but he did not exude any dangerous aura.
He was a pale man dressed in white, with white hair, white eyebrows, and even white eyelashes.
He opened his eyes, which did resemble Yingxue's somewhat, being a greenish-blue.
"Why did you come?" The voice was like a thousand-year-old ice, chilling to the bone.
It seems he already knew their identities, yet he showed no hostility.
He was just questioning, perhaps because he also disliked fighting.
"You're asking this because you already know our identities?" Zhongli Yueluo asked, her teeth chattering with cold.
He nodded and floated off to Yingxue's side.
The two of them standing on the water truly looked like a perfect couple who had stepped out of a painting.
"You know exactly what we want?"
"I know. The petals are placed under the pavilion in the middle of Cold Stone Lake. If you want them, go and take them. I won't do anything to you."
Zhongli Yueluo and the other person were taken aback.
I thought there would be a life-or-death struggle, but I didn't expect them to get it so easily.
As the saying goes, something unusual must be going on, so the two of them remained wary, keeping their eyes fixed on him.
His eyes were filled with Yingxue, his boundless love seemed to overflow from his eyes, and a gentle smile graced his pale lips.
He stretched out his pale hand, and you could see the bluish-purple veins inside.
Gently touching the wings that were about to disappear, I was filled with longing and resentment.
"Can we really go and get it?"
"Take it and leave quickly, don't disturb Yingxue and me!" His attitude towards them changed abruptly, becoming as cold as ice once again.
"Then shall we go?" Zhongli Yueluo was still a little incredulous. It was over just like that?
Seeing that she was talking so much, Han Che waved his white sleeve lightly, and a mirror-like passage appeared on the water, emitting faint fluorescent light.
This road leads to the pavilion in the center of Hanshi Lake.
She gripped Yan Ruoyu's sleeve tightly, fearing something might go wrong.
But as they walked, they gradually relaxed and could no longer see the two of them.
Zhongli Yueluo looked around. If this place weren't so cold, or if there were more sunshine, it would truly be like a fairyland.
Yan Ruoyu seemed to know what Zhongli Yuelu was thinking, so she straightened her outer robe and tightened her cloak.
"I suspect the reason why the sun never shines here all year round is because of Yingxue."
"why?"
"Because the sun would accelerate her aging process, that's why Han Che hid her here."
Zhongli Yueluo's eyes dimmed. The more beautiful something is, the more easily it is ravaged by time, and it cannot be kept even if you want to.
They continued walking forward, no longer thinking about it, but after only a couple of steps, they heard a cracking sound as the glass-like passage beneath their feet began to crumble.
The two were startled. They realized they shouldn't have trusted that innocent face. Could it be that they had been deliberately tricked into coming here?
Subsequently, these seemingly beautiful things gradually collapsed.
Yan Ruoyu put her arm around Zhongli Yueluo's waist and jumped back and forth among the trees. Then she saw a pavilion in the distance.
That was the lakeside pavilion Han Che had mentioned; it clearly existed, and he wasn't lying to them.
But why did the passage suddenly collapse? Did something happen outside?
A beam of dark yellow light and a beam of white light shot into the sky, emanating waves of magical energy that rippled around the area.
Zhongli Yueluo was all too familiar with that aura; it was none other than Gongshu Liang!
They were dealt a heavy blow yesterday, and now they're coming after them again?
But who was he clashing with? It didn't seem like Miao Qing.
"Ruoyu!" She looked at him.
Yan Ruoyu knew she was worried, but before they could go back, they saw two beams of light coming toward them.
One in white and one in green were Han Che and Ying Xue, and two more people were chasing after them.
It turned out to be Gongshu Liang and... that inconspicuous man in the Lingtai Village inn.
It turns out that Gongshu Liang was saved by him. Also, they didn't say at the beginning that there was only one cougar.
Aren't they one of our own? Why did a conflict occur?
Han Che and Yingxue brushed past the two of them.
During this brief encounter, Zhongli Yuelu heard Yingxue say, "Ache, why do you have to do this? Let go."
"I will not allow anyone to desecrate you! Not even them!"
Judging from their conversation, they might be a couple in love.
Zhongli Yueluo didn't understand, but for now, she still had to deal with the two people catching up behind her.
At this moment, the ghostly Shu Yu chuckled evilly, "I didn't expect to run into an acquaintance."
"Young Master Gongshu, isn't this the princess you've been longing for!"
From Shu Yu's words, it's clear that they didn't come for the two of them, but for Han Che!
"If you betray the two young masters, then don't blame us brothers for being impolite."
"Young Master Gongshu, I'm entrusting these two to you."
Gongshu Liang generally harbored deep resentment towards Zhongli Yueluo.
However, given his current injured state, he is probably no match for the two of them.
He resolutely chose to follow Shu Yu to pursue Han Che and the other two.
Several beams of light flashed past them. Zhongli Yueluo and Yan Ruoyu exchanged glances, realizing that they were having an internal conflict.
They all headed towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and the two of them were going there as well.
Han Che gently placed Yingxue on the water's surface and said tenderly, "Wait for me."
Then, he stood in the center of the pavilion, his white robe fluttering.
Her hair was flying in the wind, and the surrounding temperature instantly dropped below zero.
All he wanted was to be with Yingxue, so why did they all have to bother him?
Why not let them go!
The more they thought about it, the more the water gradually rose from the lake, turning into ice spikes that shot towards Shu Yu and Gongshu Liang!
Then I saw countless white lights, and then I heard the sound of swords clashing.
But they were all in that vast expanse of white, and couldn't be seen at all.
But Gongshu Liang was always cunning and knew where Han Che's weakness lay.
Isn't that Yingxue, who's on her deathbed? She's really beautiful, but she won't live much longer.
Han Che is something else. He's willing to fall out with his ally over a woman, a woman who won't live long.
They took two petals of the Demon's Bane, but didn't want to hand them over.
Did they think that hiding in this Cold Stone Lake would bring them peace and safety?
Zisang would not allow him to have such a weakness.
Under the guise of cooperation, they arranged for Gongshu Liang to cooperate with the ghost.
Kill Yingxue, take the flower petals, and spare Han Che's life.
