"Do you want these?" Bai Xiangjun lifted his hand confidently. In his palm were Bai Qi's heart and inner core. At this moment, I could still see his heart beating and his inner core breathing.
"As long as you're willing to be the medicine guide, I'll release the Demon Lord. How about it?"
"Mother, don't push things too far..." Gu Yuan finally spoke up.
Seeing that Gu Yuan was starting to side with me, I could feel how resentful the expressionless face under the mask was.
She turned her head slightly and suddenly tightened her grip on Bai Qi's heart.
"No..." I watched as Bai Qi's inner core and heart were crushed by Bai Xiangjun and then casually thrown on the ground like garbage.
"This is the price for betraying me."
Bai Qi lost his inner core, and his chest felt empty. A white film gradually covered his blue eyes.
"Bai Qi..." Gu Yuan wanted to step forward to help, but was scolded by Bai Xiangjun.
"Do you want him to die?" He still had a hostage in his hand, Jun He.
Gu Yuan had just taken a step when he frowned and retracted his hand.
"Mother, release Jun He. He's the son of Gu Qingcheng. We've already let him down once. We can't make the same mistake again. As long as you release him, I'll go with you. I'll do whatever you say."
Gu Yuan was having a good conversation with Bai Xiangjun at this moment, trying to calm him down and get him to release Jun He.
But Jun He didn't appreciate it at all.
"Pfft. You're all in the same boat. Don't play these tricks on me. My mother was just blind to be friends with such a person. She died so unjustly. If you have the guts, just kill me. When I go to the underworld and see her, I'll definitely tell her what you look like now." Jun He was already furious when he saw Xi Nu and didn't want Gu Yuan's pity at all.
I hugged Bai Qi desperately, tears streaming down my face.
"Don't go, Bai Qi... You promised to protect me for a lifetime. How could you just leave like this?"
Bai Qi's eyes glistened with tears, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He didn't even have the strength to speak: "I'm sorry. I'm going to break my promise."
When I heard him speak, I cried even more. Big tears fell on his hand.
"But... I don't want you to go..."
Hearing this, Bai Qi's tears slid down the corners of his eyes. He said gently:
"This time, I have to go even if I don't want to. Lanlan, don't blame Gu Yuan. He's also helpless."
I hugged Bai Qi's shoulder and was already crying uncontrollably. Even my breathing was choking.
"And... Lanlan, I want to see you smile, because your smile... can heal the whole world."
After Bai Qi finished speaking, he struggled to curl the corner of his mouth. That smile was exactly the same as the first time I saw him.
I quickly wiped the tears on my face with my hand and trembled my lips to return a similar smile to him.
At this moment, if I were still crying in front of him, I was afraid he would have a lifelong regret.
Seeing me smiling, Bai Qi's eyes showed relief. With a smile on his lips, he said, "Forget it. I won't force you. Your smile now looks even uglier than crying."
His eyes were dim, and he weakly raised one hand, wanting to touch my face. Just as his hand was about to touch my cheek, it fell heavily to the ground.
I hugged Bai Qi tightly and let out a hysterical howl towards the sky.
"Bai Qi..."
But no matter how I called his name, he would never respond to me again.
At this moment, Bai Xiangjun had gone crazy with killing and had already decided to kill Jun He.
Moreover, Gu Yuan had just experienced the Heavenly Tribulation, and Bai Xiangjun had been using Jun He as a shield. Gu Yuan didn't want to hurt either of them, which obviously restricted his magic power. He was no match for Bai Xiangjun at all.
A mother knows her son best. She knew Gu Yuan too well. She knew that Gu Yuan was kind - hearted and would never kill his mother.
Seeing that Gu Yuan was at a disadvantage and Jun He's life was in great danger.
My face was as cold as ice, but my heart was burning with anger.
I laid Bai Qi on the ground and whispered to him, "Bai Qi, wait for me. I'll make the person who killed you go down and accompany you."
After saying that, I stood up from the ground. Snowflakes flew on the ground and surrounded me.
There was fire in my eyes. I glanced at Bai Xiangjun. The snowflakes around him gathered and condensed into hexagonal snow blades. The snow blades were like flying darts, "swish~swish~swish~" flying straight towards Bai Xiangjun's chest.
Today, I'm determined to dig out Bai Xiangjun's bones and heart to pay homage to Bai Qi's spirit in heaven.
Seeing this, Bai Xiangjun was extremely shocked. He spun 360 degrees in the air and quickly retreated, trying to avoid the attack of the snow blades.
But the number of snow blades was huge, and they seemed to have eyes. After avoiding one wave, they would immediately turn around and rush towards her again.
No matter how powerful Bai Xiangjun's magic power was, he couldn't withstand such a swarming attack.
In the end, seeing several snow blades flying straight towards the back of her chest.
Suddenly, Gu Yuan appeared and blocked Bai Xiangjun's back.
The snow blades penetrated into Gu Yuan's abdomen. He gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.
Bai Xiangjun was also panicked at this moment and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Gu Yuan.
Taking this opportunity, Gu Yuan pushed Jun He hard with one hand and directly pushed Jun He out of Bai Xiangjun's hand.
Jun He staggered and was pushed several meters away by Gu Yuan.
Seeing that Jun He was saved, I had nothing to worry about. I spread my arms to both sides. At this moment, I didn't think about anything in my mind. I just wanted to avenge Bai Qi.
My body suddenly took off into the air. In the blink of an eye, I was standing in front of Bai Xiangjun.
I was so fast that even Gu Yuan and Bai Xiangjun, two extremely powerful masters, couldn't catch my figure.
It was only when I stood in front of her that she reacted, but it was already too late even if she did.
I quickly reached out my arm, and my five fingers turned into sharp claws, aiming straight at Bai Xiangjun's chest.
Gu Yuan, who was behind Bai Xiangjun, didn't expect me to suddenly become so powerful and really want to kill Bai Xiangjun.
Just when my hand had grabbed into Bai Xiangjun's chest and was almost about to penetrate her heart.
Gu Yuan quickly pulled Bai Xiangjun back. I didn't think at all and showed no mercy.
Until Gu Yuan hugged Bai Xiangjun's shoulder and turned to the side forcefully.
My hand was pulled out of her chest, and the blood dripped from my nails onto the ground.
Even so, my hatred for Bai Xiangjun couldn't be concealed.
"Lanlan... Wake up..." Gu Yuan was holding Bai Xiangjun's shoulder. If he hadn't done so, Bai Xiangjun would definitely have fallen to the ground by now.
My face was gloomy. I looked down at my hand stained with Bai Xiangjun's blood. Thinking of the blood - filled hole in Bai Xiangjun's chest, it seemed that Bai Xiangjun's repayment was far from enough.
I put down my hand, glanced sideways at Gu Yuan, and said coldly:
"I've never been more sober than at this moment. An eye for an eye is only fair. She killed Bai Qi with her own hands, so I'll make her pay with her life."
