Chapter 199: Don’t Leave Me!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Meteorites kept falling into the sea. The entire sea began to boil violently like a large pot of boiling water.
Huanhuan could still struggle at first, but later, she was really exhausted. She could only grit her teeth and hug Xing Chen with her last bit of strength as the seawater dragged them into the abyss at the bottom of the sea.
At this moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the night sky.
It was as if someone had torn a small hole in it from the outside.
Then, a fiery figure crawled through the crack and flew toward the sea.
!!
The sea was frighteningly cold. Huanhuan felt as if her limbs were frozen. Xing Chen clung to her like a drowning person hugging the last piece of driftwood. He exerted so much strength that he almost broke Huanhuan’s waist.
Huanhuan really wanted to ask him to let go. It was really uncomfortable to have him hug her so tightly.
However, she was surrounded by seawater. As long as she opened her mouth, the seawater would rush into her mouth. She couldn’t let herself choke.
She could only look up helplessly at the sea as it drew away from her. A lot of people and things came to mind.
The ones she naturally thought of the most were Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, and the children.
She wondered how they were doing.
If she died here, they would be very sad, right?
But with the system, she shouldn’t die, right?
Huanhuan felt that it was getting harder to breathe, and the consciousness in her mind was getting blurry.
At that moment, she suddenly heard a faint call.
“Huanhuan…”
Huanhuan opened her eyes and realized that a fiery red shadow had appeared in the center of her blurry vision.
The fiery shadow grew until it filled her entire vision.
Huanhuan opened her eyes with difficulty and saw a handsome face as dazzling as the sun.
It was Xue Ling?!
Why was he here? She couldn’t be dreaming!
Xue Ling’s long golden hair fluttered in the sea, and his fiery red robe was like a blooming flower. He reached out with his well-defined hand, grabbed Huanhuan’s wrist, and pulled her over.
The feeling of being pulled was too real. Huanhuan was sure of it.
She wasn’t dreaming!
It was great to meet someone she knew here. Huanhuan was extremely happy, and even the pressure from the lack of oxygen was relieved.
She wanted to throw herself into Xue Ling’s arms.
However, her other hand was held tightly by Xing Chen.
Huanhuan looked back and saw Xing Chen floating in the sea. His amber eyes were like gems glowing in the night on his pale, beautiful face. He was staring straight at her.
He opened his mouth and spat out a series of small bubbles.
Although she couldn’t hear anything amidst the sea, she still understood what he was saying through the shape of his mouth.
He was saying, “Don’t go!
“Don’t leave me!”
Huanhuan did not understand what the child meant. If they did not leave now, they would all drown in the sea.
She pulled at him, trying to get him to come with her.
However, Xing Chen’s body seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms. No matter how she dragged him, she could not move him at all.
Not only that, he even dragged Huanhuan deeper into the sea.
He was like a criminal at the end of his rope and trying to pull her into the abyss with him.
…
‘You’re wrong.
‘After the demon was released, he immediately killed the kind person in anger.
‘Before the kind person died, they had asked the demon why.
‘The demon spoke through his tears.
‘Why? Why did you make me wait for more than a thousand years?
‘Why couldn’t you have come to me earlier?
‘Why did you leave me alone in despair?!’
…
Huanhuan was shocked by Xing Chen’s madness and hurriedly struggled.
However, Xing Chen was surprisingly strong. Her pale and slender hands were like iron shackles that held her tightly. She could not shake them off.
Xue Ling hugged her from behind. He reached out with his other hand and pried open Xing Chen’s fingers bit by bit.
He opened his mouth.
“No!”
Xue Ling mercilessly pried open his fingers and pulled Huanhuan out of the sea. Then, he spread his huge fiery red wings and flew into the air.
Xing Chen was swallowed by the darkness and disappeared into the vast sea.
The sea was still churning. Most of the meteorites in the sky had fallen. Other than where Xue Ling was, everything else had been swallowed by the night. It was impossible to see anything clearly.
They were both wet. The sea breeze made Huanhuan shiver.
However, Xue Ling’s body emitted heat, which dried their hair and clothes.
Xue Ling was secretly relieved to finally be free of the annoying seawater.
He was really not good at swimming. If not for saving Huanhuan, he would never have gone into the water!
As Xue Ling calmed his breathing, he asked, “Why did you mess with that guy?”
Huanhuan didn’t react. “Which guy?”
“The brat who wanted to drag you to h.e.l.l with him just now.”
“You mean Xing Chen?” Huanhuan’s feelings were mixed. “I don’t understand why he did that either.”
Xue Ling frowned. “He told you his name was Xing Chen?”
Huanhuan nodded and said yes.
“I remember that brat didn’t have a name before. I didn’t expect him to have a name after so many years. Xing Chen…” Xue Ling smiled ambiguously.
She didn’t know if he was laughing at the name or the brat.
Huanhuan was very surprised. “You know him?”
“I saw him from afar many years ago. I don’t really know him. I heard that he made a big mistake and was imprisoned in the Sea of Illusions by the G.o.ds to be punished. I thought he had died in the Sea of Illusions. I didn’t expect him to still be alive after so many years. If the G.o.ds haven’t died, their reactions will be interesting when they learn that the brat is still alive.”
Huanhuan looked at him suspiciously. “Why do I hear gloating in your tone?”
Xue Ling did not deny it. “I just like watching the show.”
Huanhuan wanted to ask him how he found her here, but the situation was urgent. It was not the time to talk about these things.
The violent sea breeze hurt her head. “Let’s go,” she urged.
Xue Ling spread his wings and flew up.
The seawater suddenly set off huge waves. The waves formed a huge claw that grabbed at Xue Ling!
Xue Ling hugged Huanhuan and dodged the ‘claw’.
At the same time, more than ten meteorites changed the direction of their trajectory and quickly smashed in Xue Ling’s direction!
Xue Ling flapped his huge wings, and his sharp red feathers cut all the meteorites into pieces!
Flames streaked through the air with the feathers. They were bright and flickering.
Huanhuan hugged him tightly, not daring to let go.
She glanced down and suddenly saw Xing Chen standing on the surface of the sea. He was drenched. His grayish-white short curly hair was dripping, and his amber eyes were gradually turning dark red.
He stared straight at Huanhuan.
‘I won’t let you go.
‘I want you to stay. Stay with me forever…’
