Chapter 5736: Extra - Long Yun: This is the Greatest Sorrow (First Person)
I don't know how long I was unconscious.
When I woke up again, I felt a ray of sunlight piercing through from outside, illuminating this dark, damp cave.
I turned my head with great difficulty and saw the little girl feigning sleep against the nearby mountain wall.
She suddenly looked towards me.
Her poker face showed no expression at all, her eyes, dark and deep, stared at me, making my heart tremble slightly.
I suddenly remembered yesterday, when two North Altar guardians ambushed us.
They were following my mother's orders to eliminate the little girl.
So now...
I braced myself, trying to sit up. "We need to leave here quickly."
Why did I suddenly fall ill and pass out yesterday?
It might have been due to excessive blood loss.
I touched the bump on the back of my head, vaguely recalling yesterday...
The little one dragging me by my two hands into the cave.
My head hit the cave wall. That creature dragged me in like a dead pig, completely disregarding whether my head hurt or not.
What a heartless little thing.
I looked at my bandaged wound, my expression slightly stunned. "You helped me?"
I received no reply from her.
I remembered when I first met her; she not only lacked taste and hearing, but even sight.
At least her sight has recovered now.
In the vast Xuanbeast Forest, if we wanted to hide, we could still evade my mother's pursuit.
I breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Only...
Mother would probably come to deal with this herself. If we ran into her, it would be troublesome.
"We still need to leave here." I moved my body, struggling to sit up.
She didn't even look at me, walking out without hearing me ask, "Where are you going?"
Soon she came back, with a fluffy wild chicken skewered on a branch.
I saw her open her mouth to bite into it and quickly blurted out, "Wait! That's not how you eat it."
This child was truly daring.
I wouldn't say anything if she was just eating a raw chicken.
But the main thing is that many animals in the Xuanbeast Forest have mutated now. Doesn't she worry that this chicken has also mutated and carries corpse poison?
I reluctantly walked over, dragging my feet to her side, and snatched the chicken from her hand.
The little girl had an expression of immense anger, as if I had stolen her ration, glaring at me furiously.
I quickly made a gesture of plucking chicken feathers, explaining with hand motions, "I'll check it and roast it for you to eat."
That creature gave me an expressionless look, then slowly sat back down against the cave wall, her dark eyes following my movements back and forth.
It was as if she'd jump up and kill me immediately if I dared to take the chicken and run away...
A moment later.
I took the roasted chicken off the fire and immediately extinguished the flames.
I tore off a chicken leg and handed it to her. "Here, eat."
The little girl reached out and took it, bit into it with an expressionless face, chewing.
I knew she couldn't taste anything at all right now, but I still looked at her expectantly several times.
Sure enough, that creature remained expressionless, completely unable to taste anything.
She was just hungry and relying on instinct to find something to eat.
Yesterday, I blocked a fatal blow for her, sustaining injuries from the guardian.
At that time, I saw her swiftly tap two of my acupoints with her finger techniques.
Everything she did was instinctual, instinctively pulling out a bottle of powder and pouring a little onto my back wound.
Then, with a "thwack," she slapped a small hand heavily on my back wound, I don't know what kind of plaster she put on it.
I didn't know what it was at the time, but now I felt a cool tingling sensation on my back wound, indicating it was much better.
Although I knew everything, including her helping me with my injuries and treatment, was purely out of instinct, I still felt a little happy.
Her helping me with my injuries, did it mean that she at least cared for me in her heart?
Now the bleeding on my back had stopped, and the wound from the profound energy slash didn't hurt as much as before.
Actually, I didn't care.
My decaying body was already in ruins.
I had been poisoned with the "Heartbreak Poison" since childhood, and Mother had always been very anxious.
At first, I didn't believe this poison was truly that powerful.
But recently, I've constantly felt pain and discomfort throughout my body, from my heart to all my limbs and bones, a torment like ants gnawing at me.
That's when I realized that I might have... fallen for this little poker face without even knowing it!
Mother and I both know the only symptom of this poison.
Once the Heartbreak Poison enters the body, falling in love feels like being sliced by a thousand knives and devoured by ten thousand ants.
So Mother must believe that by eliminating Qiao Qiao, the source, time will dilute all emotions.
At that time, his symptoms would naturally calm down.
I understand Mother's methods too well.
Now, she's probably still worried and will likely come herself with people to personally execute the little blockhead.
But is that even possible?
Can I really return to my original life just by eliminating Qiao Qiao, the source?
I know it's impossible now.
Once feelings are stirred, it's hard to turn back.
"Is it tasty?"
I knew she wouldn't respond, but I still wanted to talk to her like this.
Even if her eyes didn't glance at me, she never replied with a single word.
"Little Blockhead." I propped my chin, smiling as I looked at her, and softly asked, "Do you think if I hadn't played that prank on you when we first met, you wouldn't be angry with me?"
"If I had met you earlier. Even earlier than Mo Lian, would you have fallen for me?"
I watched her slowly chew on the chicken leg, her small mouth moving, and couldn't help but smile.
"You healed my wounds, saved me. I have nothing to repay you with. Would offering myself be acceptable?"
The little one kept gnawing on the chicken leg, and after she finished, she glanced at me.
I found it a bit amusing and tore off another chicken leg to hand to her.
She took it, then quite naturally wiped her oily hand on her little robe...
I quickly walked over, pulled up her sleeve. "Qiao Qiao, let out some water to wash up."
She looked at me blankly, as if she didn't even remember how to use water spiritual power.
Seeing her in this state now, I couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. I reached out and stroked her head. "What exactly happened? Who made you like this?"
My injuries were gradually recovering. Looking at the sky, it was getting dark, and a thunderstorm was about to hit.
So I decided to stay in this cave for another night.
Tomorrow, we would leave this place and find a good spot to settle down.
Even if the little blockhead remains silly like this for her entire life, it doesn't matter; I will take care of her.
That night, the torrential rain indeed fell.
The lightning and thunder outside woke us up.
I saw the little one scramble up from the cave wall, squatting there, quietly watching the stormy weather outside.
"Don't be afraid, it's nothing."
No sooner had I spoken than a bolt of lightning split a small tree at the cave entrance in two.
The little one suddenly jumped up and ran to the cave entrance to look out.
I quickly followed, pulling her to my side, just as the torrential rain poured in.
With a "whoosh," it almost drenched us both like drowned rats.
The wind was blowing the rain directly into the cave, so I pulled her and we had to move further inside.
I kept mumbling explanations to her, "The wind and rain outside are strong, let's take shelter further inside. After a night of wind and rain, the cave entrance will probably be flooded."
The little girl followed me a few steps with an expressionless face.
We settled down, sitting side by side.
She suddenly reached out and patted me, stuffing something into my hand.
I was startled, and dimly, I saw a pill placed in my palm.
There was no light in the cave at this moment, everything was pitch black.
Even the faint moonlight that had initially entered was now completely gone.
I sat in this darkness, yet a tiny spark of fire was faintly flickering in my heart.
I said, "Qiao Qiao, how wonderful it would be if it could be like this forever."
"Shall we not go out, okay?"
"Shall we abandon this chaotic and noisy world, find a deserted place, and live in seclusion, okay?"
"Just you and me, the two of us. No one to disturb us!" I whispered, babbling on, "Qiao Qiao, would you answer me, please?"
I knew she wouldn't respond, but I couldn't help but say a lot of nonsense.
The next day, the sky cleared.
As I walked out of that dark, cramped cave, I had a premonition that I would lose her.
Much, much later.
I don't know how much effort it took me to ask that question:
"Qiao Qiao, do you truly not remember our time together those two days?"
"That day, Qiao Qiao promised me that she would stay with me, that we would find a place where no one would disturb us, living in peace..."
"Impossible." Mo Lian, that person, his words were truly unpleasant, yet they always had a biting clarity.
"She wouldn't promise you anything."
"You don't believe her, so you believe me?"
I was truly speechless.
And then...
I don't know how long I endured, day and night.
Until one day, I finally poured out my heart to her.
[My mother was poisoned with the Heartbreak Poison by that venomous woman from the Long family! I've had this poison since I was a fetus.]
["But I didn't cause this! Why did your mother attack me? She's having a fit of madness, finding fault with everyone!"]
["I get it, she thinks I stole her son, right? I heard there's a type of woman who raises a child alone, and she develops an unusually strong desire to control her child. I've always thought your mother was a bit mentally unstable; it must be that."]
No, you don't understand, you don't understand at all.
You don't understand how terrifying it is when the Heartbreak Poison flares up.
Sometimes, thinking of you for even one more second feels like a sharp, piercing dagger relentlessly stabbing my heart, an unbearable torment.
There was always such a lack of communication between you and me.
What I said, you didn't understand at all...
This is a chasm between hearts.
An unbridgeable gap.
Much, much later, I finally understood that I, and Mo Lian, are ultimately quite different.
