Chapter 212: 129, 130. This time, he took Yune away (big Chapter - subscribe)_3

Eerie village, deep pits of oil, horrifying charred corpses, a man gripping a woman’s hand...

The wind was blowing, the air thick like rolling oil, each breath filled with the scent of oil, smoke, and char...

...

"Thank you."

Yune suddenly spoke.

Desperation and resignation had set in her eyes.

But Song Cheng had not let go.

He was breathing heavily, as if his soul was pounding wildly, like tens of thousands of whale hearts beating in unison.

Yune loosened her grip.

Song Cheng suddenly leaned forward, grasping her wrist tightly.

"I want to take the Yune I know, and leave this place."

Carbon corpses surged behind him like a giant wave carrying the force of heaven and earth, intent on plunging them into the deep pit.

Song Cheng took a deep breath.

He opened his eyes in this dreamlike realm.

The eyes of the soul are usually extremely blurred, but at that moment, they appeared profoundly deep and dark.

"You suffer, she suffers, everyone suffers, am I... not suffering?"

Song Cheng muttered, his voice shifting from hesitation to firmness, and then as if roaring out.

"Great Dark Heaven!"

...

...

"Where is this?"

Yune’s voice echoed in the darkness.

"Why is it all dark?"

"What’s outside?"

"Is it water flow, flames, or darkness... Is this the hell of water and fire?"

Song Cheng did not respond; he yanked Yune out of the deep pit, while the carbon corpses in the village, as if blinded, writhed on the ground, clutching their heads and emitting strange howls, then scattered under the impact of the water flow.

"This is my reappear," Song Cheng responded.

Yune naturally knew what a reappear was, so she curiously asked, "Brother Cheng, then... have you also become a ghost?"

Song Cheng pulled her along, traversing through the darkness and past the scattered carbon corpses.

This did not mean his power had completely surpassed that of the fire ghost but rather that his newfound power had fused with that of the human-like Drowning Ghost, temporarily overriding the fire ghost.

The path was dark, devoid of direction, no hints of east, west, north, or south.

The two held hands, yet they were moving farther and farther from the fiery village.

Suddenly, Song Cheng felt a pulling force from his palm, as if it wanted to drag him back to the village.

He turned his head to look.

Yune exclaimed, "Brother Cheng, I can’t control myself. The fire ghost is weak now, and I... my ghost wants to devour the fire ghost. It’s pulling me back! I can’t leave!"

Song Cheng asked, "Do you like February Red?"

Yune replied, "I like it."

Song Cheng said, "Outside, there are many flowers, white, red, pink, purple... every color."

Yune smiled, "Really... I can hardly remember. It must be beautiful, right?"

Song Cheng said, "Very beautiful... so, let’s go see it together."

The two chatted casually, as if they were friends leisurely strolling by a lakeside after a meal, talking about trivial matters, yet their hands were clasped tighter and tighter...

Those two hands had become the rope in a tug-of-war.

On the other end of the rope was a terrible beast.

The rope was stretched tight, almost snapping.

Yune said, "Actually, I like white lilies. My family is from Chenyang Prefecture, and our courtyard in the city had many of them... After I married into Tang River Village, my family stopped contacting me, but I missed home and planted some here."

Song Cheng remembered the bloodstained white flowers in the courtyard of Yune’s house in Tang River Village, thinking to himself, ’So they were white lilies...’

"Then, let me take you to Chenyang Prefecture to see it."

"Forget it, I don’t want to go back," Yune replied, then added, "Just take me around."

Shh...

Crack crack crack...

Their hands were stretched to the limit.

"Alright," Song Cheng said, "Once we get out of here, you will still be Yune. After this, the Drowning Ghost will have nothing to do with you."

Crack...

Bang bang bang...

Their hands were almost crushed.

Yune smiled and said, "That... would be wonderful."

The two fell silent, gritting their teeth and desperately moving forward, like travelers walking through a dark desert.

Slowly, after an unknown amount of time, the pulling force began to loosen.

At the end of the darkness, a glimmer of light finally appeared, shining like broken gold on the surface of a river.

Song Cheng quickened his pace.

All of a sudden, Yune said, "Brother Cheng... after we pass through this door, I will have to leave. Let me say goodbye to you now."

A Drowning Ghost without humanity will become a complete spirit, it still won’t harm you and will still connect with you.

But I... am a soul full of scars.

I am going to reincarnate... When becoming a spirit, I vaguely saw the Reincarnation Land in the moon in the sky.

I saw many departed souls, orderly lined up, waiting to reincarnate.

But the moon... seemed to have more than one...

I couldn’t see clearly.

But now, I must go."

Song Cheng gently lowered his head and asked, "What would you like to do in your next life?"

Yune said, "I’d like to plant flowers, lots of flowers, without chaos, without pain, without..."

The two walked past the light.

Yune’s voice abruptly ceased, and her divine soul vanished into thin air...

Song Cheng slowly opened his eyes, the blurry scene before him swayed and finally settled.

Bedside table, wardrobe, vanity, bronze mirror, oiled paper window...

The white curtain hung quietly, the quilt was over him, and he was drenched in sweat as if "someone with a fever and cold suddenly sweated profusely, feeling much relieved from the illness."

Autumn leaves hesitated outside the window.

Now, it was deep autumn.

Song Cheng sat up straight on the bed, glancing at the display panel.

There were two changes on the panel:

One:

Another:
