Chapter 422 So Happy
The boy in purple collapsed to the ground, holding the girl in his arms, and cried hoarsely, begging her not to leave, not to close her eyes, that he would save her, that he could save her!
A cyan aura shone around the two of them, and an ancient and complex array appeared beneath them, spreading outwards in circles and layers, eventually reaching the entire city lord's mansion in just a few breaths.
Everyone in the city lord's mansion was shocked. No one knew where this array plate came from or what its purpose was.
Only Jiang Liqian, in the center of the formation, looked weakly and dreamily at the crying boy above her, feeling sorry for him, as if his world would collapse if she were gone.
Why is he so sad...?
He was so heartbroken that he felt like dying.
“…Xu Youan…”
With great effort, she used all her strength to stroke his eyebrows and eyes.
I am sorry.
In her final moments of blurred consciousness, she seemed to see a formation she had vaguely glimpsed in fragments of her memory.
Flower Moving Formation.
A more ingenious and larger flower-shifting formation.
It's as if I want to burn my entire life...
Is it him?
How could it be him...?
What, could it be him?

Inside the glazed palace, the candlesticks flickered gently. An old man sitting cross-legged on a futon suddenly opened his eyes, his expression one of astonishment and horror.
"Oh no, Qian'er's soul lamp!"
He quickly rose, transforming into a streak of light and flying towards the Eternal Star Hall, where the soul lamps of all the disciples of the Heavenly Qian Sect were kept. Pushing open the door, he immediately found the lamp that belonged to Jiang Liqian.
An incredibly complex magic circle appeared beneath his feet. He closed his eyes, desperately trying to preserve the flame of the soul lamp.
A continuous stream of spiritual energy flowed from the magic array into the soul lamp, forming a protective barrier around it.
However, while protecting the soul lamp, he could also sense another force supporting his little apprentice's lifeline from the flickering, about-to-go-out soul lamp.
He opened his eyes and looked at the other soul lamp, which was shaking violently, right next to the first one, with a complicated expression.
What are these two doing?!

"I'm the senior disciple, this is something I should do. None of you are qualified, understand? Get out of here!"
"Junior Sister, you and Junior Brother stay safe on Array Peak. Senior Sister will protect you. Senior Sister won't let Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother die in vain..."
"The battle in the Outer Realms is urgent; we must send more people to seal the formation. True Person..."
"No, I disagree. They're just two children!"
"Take her away quickly!"
"As long as one spark remains in the formation, that's enough. Junior brother, I'm sorry, but please live on for us all, live well..."
"Senior sister, I won't let you die. If we're going to die, we'll die together! We'll die together!"
"Senior sister, you're lying to me, you're lying to me!"
"I'm all alone now. I'm the only one left on the entire formation. Senior sister, how am I supposed to live...?"
"Let's be buried here, okay, Senior Sister? For your people, for your world, for your great path, I'll shed my last drop of blood..."
"You will remember me, won't you? In the next life, and the life after that, you will remember that it was I who sacrificed myself for you."
No, no—!
Suddenly opening her eyes, Jiang Liqian was covered in cold sweat. She tried to sit up, but she had no strength at all.
She opened her eyes wide in bewilderment, the fear still lingering in her pupils, when she was met with a pair of pale eyes, as if all the stars and the universe had perished together.
The boy gave a bitter laugh, and in Jiang Liqian's stunned gaze, he suddenly hugged her waist tightly, cold tears streaming down his face and onto her neck.
He buried his face in her neck and shoulders, crying silently, suppressedly, and in a breakdown.
Jiang Liqian let him hold her tightly, but she couldn't move at all. Her heart was burning and constricted because of his tears, and it hurt even more than when she was hit by the backlash of self-destruction.
She couldn't understand where this irrational feeling came from, but she knew that she was supposed to die, and he had saved her.
If she doesn't survive, he...
His lips moved, but in the end, only three words could be uttered hoarsely: "I'm sorry..."
"Don't say those three words to me! You're not allowed to say those three words to me!" Xu Youan was agitated, his eyes filled with dark emotions. He lowered his head and bit her shoulder hard.
A hint of red tinged his pale lips.
It seemed that only in this way could she feel his fear, his terror, and his pain!
Jiang Liqian frowned slightly, her body tensing up at the stinging pain, then slowly relaxing as he bit her.
She closed her eyes briefly, hesitated, and then reached out to gently hug his still trembling body.

When Qin Beiyao and Shui Lian'er entered the room, Xu You'an had already calmed down and was feeding Jiang Liqian the medicine sip by sip.
Although Jiang Liqian wanted to swallow it all at once, Xu Youan insisted. Feeling guilty, she could only let him have his way and obediently swallowed it in small bites.
The medicine was so bitter that she wished she could spit it out every time.
Honestly, she really suspected that Xu Youan was deliberately retaliating against her like this.
Shui Lian'er's eyes were red, clearly she had been crying until she entered the room. When she saw Jiang Liqian was awake, she couldn't hold back anymore and threw herself into her arms while crying.
"Jiang Liqian," she yelled, "Are you stupid? Are you really courting death? You sent us away and you're risking your life all by yourself? Doesn't your life matter? Doesn't your life matter!"
Jiang Liqian immediately apologized to her, and at the same time, she reluctantly explained the situation in a low voice, saying that if it weren't for her bravery and fearlessness, everyone would be going to see the King of Hell by now.
These words successfully turned everyone in the room's faces cold, and Shui Lian'er even chased after her and cursed her for most of the day.
"If it weren't for Junior Brother Xu risking his life to save you, and if it weren't for my mother giving me a top-grade Rejuvenation Pill, do you think you'd still be here spouting 'sacrificing your life' nonsense?"
“Jiang Liqian, who here isn’t a disciple of the Tianqian Sect? If we’re going to die, we’ll die together. What’s with you being the only one ‘brave and fearless’? How are we supposed to face the sect leader and your master when we return to the Tianqian Sect?”
Jiang Liqian was stunned. She never expected that Shui Lian'er would give her such a precious top-grade Rejuvenation Pill.
Even someone as wealthy and powerful as Feixia Peak probably couldn't produce a second top-grade Rejuvenation Pill.
Looking at Shui Lian'er's angry scolding, her junior brother's angry and red eyes, and Qin Beiyao's hesitant expression, wanting to say something but also annoyed that he wasn't strong enough, she suddenly felt that the world was more vibrant than ever before.
And she was so happy.
