"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"
This was Tang Jingjing's only thought.
The last vestiges of her conscience and moral boundaries were drowned out by Tang Xing's detestable face and her pent-up emotions. The fear of the law and her family was suppressed by the words, "This is a ruin, no one will know you killed him."
Tang Jingjing clutched the sharp-edged stone in her hand and walked step by step towards Tang Xing, who was unable to get up.
"W-what do you want to do!?" Tang Xing's face was full of disbelief as he shuffled backward. Realizing he was leaning against a rock, he immediately clawed at it and moved sideways. "Tang Jingjing! That's your brother! Put the rock down for him!"
But Tang Jingjing continued to drag her exhausted body towards Tang Xing.
"Damn it... Hey! Someone! Someone's going to die!" Tang Xing couldn't help but shout.
Unfortunately, they were neither close to where the injured were resting nor the front lines, so no one noticed what was happening here.
But evil people live for ten thousand years, and an accident still occurred.
Not far away, King Lougaluo knew he couldn't escape the siege of these four people. So, he decided to trade his life for theirs, self-detonating his demonic core in an attempt to blow up the four of them.
Of course, it wasn't successful.
But the explosion caused a violent earthquake, tossing several large rocks and dust into the air from the center of the battlefield.
And then, one of the largest rocks, by sheer coincidence, flew towards Tang Jingjing and Tang Xing.
"Be careful! Move away!" Qing Lianzi was filled with anxiety upon seeing this and quickly urged his ghost attendant to rescue them. He Lanxin was even more direct, cutting a path through the dust and smoke with his Hegemon's Halberd and rushing towards Tang Jingjing at high speed.
Tang Jingjing turned her head upon hearing the shouts, saw the giant rock flying towards her, then dropped the stone, stood still, and closed her eyes.
It's so good... living is so tiring... I'll go find Mo Chuan...
In her ears, Tang Jingjing seemed to hear the anxious shouts of He Lanxin and Qing Lianzi and Tang Xing's curses, but then she suddenly remembered scenes from her childhood.
Her silent older sister... her scolding mother... her father who was never home... her brother who always bullied her...
She remembered one time, when she was hospitalized, her brother Tang Xing, who came to "visit," mocked her and even tore up her favorite doll in front of her, throwing it into the trash.
When she cried and asked why, she received a cold reply:
"You're not even a Tang family member, why should you be polite to a burden?"
Even when she grew up, she heard Tang Xing with a fawning smile discussing her price with the eldest son of another family.
This led Tang Jingjing to flee the Tang family and Bazhou altogether.
Just as Tang Xing watched the giant rock getting closer, a spatial gate suddenly appeared between the rock and Tang Jingjing.
A familiar figure emerged from it, followed by the voice that had haunted Tang Jingjing for days:
"What the hell! Why is it always opening doors and giving surprises!"
Mo Chuan quickly summoned his lantern and used a shield to cover himself and Luo Ni behind him.
*Boom*—
The giant rock slammed into the shield, and the airflow, carrying debris and dust, enveloped the area.
"Jingjing!" "Tang Jingjing!"
Qing Lianzi and He Lanxin rushed into the dust. Qing Lianzi took out several talismans from his embrace and shouted, "Clear wind dispels dust, fine rain cleanses filth, the Three Pure Ones' Taoist magic, heed my command, Decree, Open!"
The yellow talismans fluttered in the wind and ignited as spiritual energy was infused, then they stirred up a clean breeze, blowing away the dust and sand.
As everyone looked, they didn't see the expected impact of the rock hitting the ground, but rather a large, milky-white shield covering the original positions of Tang Jingjing and Tang Xing.
"That... that's..." Zhang Hanshan's breathing became heavy the moment he saw the shield, looking at the familiar shield with disbelief.
"Is that... Mo Chuan..." Qing Lianzi muttered to himself, looking at the shield.
Then the shield dispersed.
Mo Chuan was seen dusting himself off and complaining to a woman wearing a golden mask with a pout, "What kind of skill is this! Why does it always bring business as soon as I open a portal! If I hadn't been cautious, we'd both be Mo Chuan-chan and Roni-chan by now..."
"Uh... Young Master, please don't scold... This is also the first time I've used this power in this space..."
But the latter's voice abruptly stopped.
Because Luo Ni's eyes widened as she watched a strange woman tightly embrace Mo Chuan, her arms around his neck, crying uncontrollably, "I knew I'd see you! Do you know how heartbroken I was when I heard you died... I never thought heaven would actually grant my dying wish..."
Before Mo Chuan could even get a clear look at the person in his arms, he knew who it was... Well, sort of. It was Tang Jingjing.
Then, as Mo Chuan listened to Tang Jingjing's tearful story, he felt something was increasingly wrong. He finally coughed and patted Tang Jingjing's back, whispering in her ear, "Jingjing... what if... what if we're both still alive?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Jingjing instantly looked around and noticed the crowd of people witnessing the scene.
It's over, this is a moment of social death...
Tang Jingjing's small face immediately flushed red, and then she buried her head in Mo Chuan's embrace like an ostrich.
Now, the problem arises... Tang Jingjing has "hidden" herself... but Mo Chuan is directly facing Luo Ni's death glare.
Oh dear, it's over. I think I just saw Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi.
