BXBX NOVEL Chapter 176
“Bing Shi, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to,” Xuan Mu continued with his whispering, not noticing the cold sweat on the healer’s face. He kissed Bing Shi’s forehead, “My memories switched to the time I died. Ziek’s memories followed shortly after,” his lips traced down her lips, “Bing Shi, I love you. I love you so much,” he continued to peck the edges of her lips, “Would you like to go on a date with me? I have a surprise for you.”
“I love you too. Ah, I missed our dates so so much. Nooo, tell it to me now, pretty please ??.”
“Boss,” The healer panted, “Miss Bing Shi is dead.”
“WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?” Xuan Mu roared out. Picking Bing Shi up, he held the cold body against his chest, “I’ve been speaking with her this whole time! Right, Bing Shi?” He looked lovingly at the cute girl in his arms, “Continue healing her.”
“Right. Xuan Mu, I’ll have to leave soon. Be good, and wait for me. I’ll find you again.”
Bing Shi looked at her fading astral body. She cried, but no tears fell, she tried to hug him, but her hand passed through his body. Xuan Mu’s power was just too great. She died the moment he pushed her away.
“Bing Shi, what are you talking about?” Xuan Mu asked, his expression desperate, “You can’t leave me.” Hearing no more response, he held the body even closer to him. “Bing Shi, don’t be so quiet. Talk to me. Please.”
There’s still Fu Lian’s magical water. He immediately stood up and flew out of his ship, towards Yi Zen’s base.
.....
On his way, Xuan Mu never stopped talking to the body in his arms, he wanted to make her smile, but there was none, “Why, whenever I carry you in a bridal style, it’s always because you are injured, hm?”
He squeezed her body tighter, his vision became blurry, “Do you remember how we always thought that except death, nothing could separate us? I’m starting to despise it. It’s trying to separate us again.”
Feeling danger coming his way, Xuan Mu looked up at the raging Yi Zen and the whole army behind him.
Fu Lian appeared from behind Yi Zen. As soon as she took the flask with the water from her space, it moved towards Xuan Mu’s direction.
Before everyone’s eyes, the man in the black robe took a gulp of the water. Unable to study Bing Shi’s full face, they could only watch how Xuan Mu leaned his head down towards her lips, transferring the liquid from mouth to mouth. Seeing no response, tears trickled down his eyes, parting her lips, he kissed her passionately, showing everyone to whom this woman belonged to.
Fu Lian caught Xuan Mu’s mocking gaze on her. He looked at her for a second, before his attention returned to the girl in his arms. Her heart skipped a beat. He was never interested in her. This whole time, it was him, making fun of her.
Unable to watch anymore, Yi Zen flashed before Xuan Mu. “Give her to me,” ordering, his tone demanding and oppressive.
Xuan Mu stopped kissing his Bing Shi and lifted his gaze, looking at Yi Zen indifferently, “Bing Shi, don’t you have enough brothers? Why did another one appear out of nowhere, hm?” he asked softly.
Yi Zen was about to take his little sister from this man by force when a great firewall stopped him from doing so.
Xuan Mu’s indifferent expression became hostile, his dreadful voice spoke out from behind the flame pillar, “You are lucky that I don’t keep any secret away from my Bing Shi. Or else, you’d be gone the moment; you wanted to take her away from me.”
The more everyone wanted to distinguish the fire, the more it grew on size. The light pillar created a world phenomenon; everyone could see it. If it continued, there’d be a hole in the atmosphere!
Inside the fire, Xuan Mu called out to the HQ to take him away. He won’t stay back, do nothing, and wait for his Bing Shi to find him.

After a month...
Soldiers looked up at the top of the platform. She’d always be sitting there, accompanying them, no matter the weather. The person, who would always dangle her legs in the air playfully, the person they should’ve been protecting, was now gone. Wiping a few tears from their eyes, they created their own families and continued to live on. These particular families would become the most influential powerhouses in the world, passing their teaching to their successors; they’d continue with their duty, protecting the weak.
After the meeting ended, Yi Zen looked at his right. There, she would be, listening to their strategies in silence. Standing up, he wandered into his office. It’s been a month after that incident. They couldn’t find her nor his remains. Dropping on his chair, he covered his face with his hands, trying to hold his composure, his lips trembled.
*Knock*
*Knock*
“Come in.”
Qua Tao passed through the door and saw the sorry state of his general. Holding a letter, he put it on the table, “Miss Bing Shi told me to give you this on this day.”
When Qua Tao left, Yi Zen opened the letter with shaky hands, in the hope that it’s one of her pranks, and that she was alright.

I could only reach the skies, for you were the wings behind my back.
I could obtain all the glory, for you were the strength beside my side.
~Bing Shi
PS: Are you be any chance worried about your little sister’s whereabouts? I don’t want to brag, but I’m probably saving another world from destruction, hehe.
——-?????——-
When he saw a picture of an unfamiliar girl, grinning at him with a bright smile, a few drops of water dripped down his eyes.
As he thought. His little sister was truly beautiful.
