Looking at the female infant in his arms, Duan Xifeng felt a faint pang of sadness in his heart.
He didn't know how he should feel.
Duan Xifeng sighed and carried the infant back.
At this moment, Su Cheng returned to the new inn with Gu Qianying in his arms.
Meng Qinghua, Ouyang Qinglin, and others followed closely behind.
A moment later.
Meng Qinghua, Ouyang Qinglin, Xuan Ling Nu, and the others stood by Gu Qianying's bedside, each with a troubled expression and immense sorrow in their hearts, unsure of how to heal Gu Qianying.
Su Cheng had gone out, saying he was going to fetch something very important.
"Sister, when will my mother wake up?" Little Yi Hao tugged at Xuan Ling Nu's sleeve, "Mother has been sleeping, and no one tells me stories anymore. I miss Mother so much. I want to hear Mother call my name, woo woo woo..."
By the end, the child actually started crying.
Seeing the child so sad, Xuan Ling Nu couldn't help but cover her face and feel like crying, but now was not the time to cry.
If even the adults couldn't hold on, what would happen to this child?
Only they could take care of this child now, and they had to take good care of this child and hand her over to Gu Qianying completely.
Xuan Ling Nu suppressed her sorrow, forced a smile, and looked at Little Yi Hao. She crouched down and looked at him, "Your mother is just sleeping. She will wake up soon, but she is really too tired this time and may sleep for a very, very long time. We must not disturb her."
Little Yi Hao nodded understandingly after hearing this, but this child was smart from a young age. How could he not know that his mother was seriously injured, which was why she was unconscious.
Meng Qinghua and Ouyang Qinglin looked at Little Yi Hao's well-behaved and sensible appearance with heartache, silently praying for Gu Qianying to wake up soon and see her child.
At this moment, Su Cheng returned. As soon as he entered, he saw his son's red-rimmed eyes, which made his heart ache. He walked to his son's side, "Hao Hao, Mother will be fine. She will definitely wake up."
Little Yi Hao nodded heavily, "I believe Mother will wake up. Mother likes me and Daddy the most."
Su Cheng walked to Gu Qianying's bedside and sat down. He held Gu Qianying in his arms and took out the Wu Ling Pearl from his embrace.
Except for Little Yi Hao, the other three were all shocked to see the Wu Ling Pearl in Su Cheng's hand.
"This item is...?"
"Wu Ling Pearl!"
Su Cheng did not explain further.
He just looked at Gu Qianying and said, "Qianying, I won't let anything happen to you. Even more so, I won't let you leave Little Yi Hao."
"Daddy, what do you mean by that?"
Little Yi Hao was very smart and naturally understood the meaning behind Su Cheng's words.
Su Cheng did not look at him. His gaze remained fixed on Gu Qianying, staring at the pearl for a long time. After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Now, I fear I will have to part with her again. The cycle of the world, fate cannot be defied."
At this moment, he remembered all the memories of his past life.
He was Nangong Mo, and Gu Qianying was his wife.
Little Yi Hao was his son.
Little Yi Hao and the other three listened, their minds clouded and unable to grasp the meaning of Su Cheng's words. However, with a little thought, they realized that Su Cheng seemed to be embracing a mindset of facing death.
Could it be that this Wu Ling Pearl required a life for a life?
Little Yi Hao pondered for a moment, seeming to understand his father's meaning. Little Yi Hao stepped forward and grabbed Su Cheng's arm, saying, "Daddy, I want Mother and I want you. Can you not leave me? Mother will be sad without you, woo woo..."
As expected, he couldn't hide it from his own son after all.
"Yi Hao, Daddy wants to teach you a lesson today. Please remember it." Su Cheng sighed and said.
Little Yi Hao bit his lip and refused to speak, but Su Cheng continued on his own, "There has never been a perfect solution in this world. To achieve perfection, one must possess the right time, place, and people. Daddy and Mother do not possess such abilities."
"Daddy." Little Yi Hao tugged at Su Cheng's sleeve and said, "This lesson is too big. I'm still young and don't understand. Can you tell me when I grow up, when Mother and Daddy are both here? I don't want to listen. I just want you and Mother to be by my side, woo woo..."
Su Cheng did not answer him anymore. He looked at Meng Qinghua, who was standing by, and said, "Take him out. The rest of the matters do not need this child's participation."
"Daddy, I'm not going out. I want to watch you and Mother." Little Yi Hao stood his ground and struggled.
Su Cheng didn't even bother to look this time, but his heart ached, ached terribly. He didn't want to be separated from his wife and child, but what could he do now?
He wanted Gu Qianying to live well, even if Gu Qianying and Little Yi Hao had to live alone in the future, as long as Gu Qianying was alive, he was willing to give his life.
Meng Qinghua eventually took Little Yi Hao out. Little Yi Hao was carried on Meng Qinghua's shoulder, wriggling restlessly, constantly murmuring that he wanted to be with his mother and father.
Xuan Ling Nu couldn't help but shed tears upon hearing this.
Is there truly no perfect solution in this world? Does Heaven love to break up lovers so much?
...
To revive Gu Qianying, spiritual blood must be used for blessing. Su Cheng's body happened to flow with spiritual blood, which made things much more convenient. However, once this spiritual blood was used.
He would disappear from this world.
But in the current situation, Su Cheng could not afford to think too much. Su Cheng cut his palm and dripped his blood onto the Wu Ling Pearl. The Wu Ling Pearl immediately burst into a radiant light.
Su Cheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, but seeing Gu Qianying's fingertip tremble, Su Cheng knew he had succeeded. He had brought Gu Qianying back to life.
Gu Qianying's revival meant that everything still had a chance.
Master would not bear to watch him perish like this.
Yes, he remembered everything, and he remembered his master, his mission, and his responsibility.
Su Cheng clutched his chest and fell to the ground. At this moment, Little Yi Hao ran in from outside. Seeing Su Cheng spitting blood and looking disheveled, he felt heartbroken.
Su Cheng's body was beginning to disappear, gradually becoming transparent. Su Cheng stroked his son's face and said, "Protect your mother well. We will definitely meet again. Daddy promises you."
"Daddy, don't go." Little Yi Hao wanted to step forward and hug Su Cheng, but he didn't expect him to have already turned into nothingness. No matter how he reached out, he couldn't grasp Su Cheng.
At this moment, Little Yi Hao only remembered Su Cheng's smile.
As Meng Yang turned into a speck of light, a white-haired old man and a celestial child appeared in the room.
The white-haired old man collected the speck of light into his sleeve. Before the others in the room could react, the white-haired old man and the celestial child had already disappeared.
At the same time, the white-haired old man extracted Su Cheng's memories from this life and said to him, "Disciple, your next life's tribulation cycle has begun."
