"The elder's tent?" Qin Shi murmured and said coldly, "You're not lying to me, are you?"
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!" Meng Hao was so scared that he peed his pants. Dark red liquid flowed out from his crotch, full of the smell of urine.
Frowning, Qin Shi didn't say any more nonsense. His black eyes were cold, and he raised his hand to cut Meng Hao's neck with a golden light. "As you wish, go to hell."
Bang!
Qin Shi did what he said and gave Meng Hao a quick death.
Seeing Meng Hao killed by Qin Shi, Jade In The Book pouted and said, "Humph, this animal died a worthy death. He even wanted to molest my sister!"
After cursing, Jade In The Book turned around and said sweetly to Qin Shi, "Shi Tou, what should we do next …"
Unexpectedly, Jade In The Book's jade-like face was suddenly shocked. She hurriedly retreated a few steps and stared at Qin Shi, who was not far away. She said shyly, "Shi, Shi Tou, what are you doing?"
"What am I doing?"
Qin Shi laughed evilly and pounced on Jade In The Book. "Of course, as you wish. I will become a heinous pervert and harm an ignorant girl like you!"
"Ah!"
With a delicate gasp, Jade In The Book was pushed to the ground by Qin Shi. She was so scared that she quickly turned her head and begged for mercy. "Don't, Shi Tou, no, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay?"
"Hehe, okay, since you know you were wrong, then give up resistance and follow me, the big pervert!"
Qin Shi wouldn't let go of such a rare opportunity. He didn't give Jade In The Book a chance to speak. He rushed to Jade In The Book's cherry lips and kissed them.
Their lips pressed against each other. After a moment of struggle, Jade in the Book's phoenix eyes became unfocused. In addition to the blazing heat of the Nectar Volcano, it began to slowly lose its mind. In the end, it gave Qin Shi an inexperienced response.
The intercourse between their lips and teeth lasted for a long time.
Qin Shi had been waiting for this moment for too long. From the first time he saw Jade In The Book three years ago, Qin Shi had told himself that no matter what, Jade In The Book would be his woman. This would never change.
However, just as Qin Shi was about to take another step, Jade In The Book suddenly pushed Qin Shi away. She looked extremely flustered as she said angrily, "No, Shi Tou, don't!"
"What happened?"
Qin Shi was a little angry at being interrupted. "Sister Yu, it's been three years. Don't tell me you still don't understand my feelings for you?"
"I …" Biting her lips, Jade In The Book's eyes reddened. After a long time, she said, "Shi Tou, I'm sorry. I can't. I really can't. I told you that you can't fall in love with me. You promised me!"
"I can't do it!"
Qin Shi roared, "Am I a human? I'm a man with feelings. I'm a man of flesh and blood. You've been by my side for the past three years. You've saved me countless times. You said that I can't fall in love with you?
Then why are you so good to me?
I'm telling you, Jade In The Book, it's too late. It's too late. Everything is too late! "
Jade In The Book's frail body trembled violently. She shrank into a ball under Qin Shi's scolding. It was so pitiful. Finally, she couldn't help crying. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I know. I know it all. It's because I know that I can't promise you. It's my fault. I shouldn't have let you fall in love with me … Shi Tou, I like you too. But we really can't be together!"
"Why?" Qin Shi was puzzled.
"Because … because I'm a Device Spirit. You and I can't be together. If we force ourselves to be together, it will only be a heaven-defying act. It will incur the wrath of both men and gods. Your path of return will always be Xue Xin. It's Rakshasa. It shouldn't be me." Jade In The Book cried pitifully.
"Nonsense!
All three of you are the ones I love. Why can't it be you? "
Qin Shi's voice gradually weakened. But it became more resolute. "As for that bullsh * t logic, what heaven-defying act, what anger of both men and gods, as long as I can be with you, I, Qin Shi, don't care!"
"I care!"
Jade In The Book raised her head. Her tearful eyes looked straight at Qin Shi. After a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "We'll be together. But you'll die because of me!"
His heart pounded violently. It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. Qin Shi's eyes widened. After a long time, he said in a trembling voice, "Sister Yu, w-what did you just say?"
Jade In The Book closed her tear-stained eyes. Her face was pale. She weakly sat on the ground. "You don't know. You don't know anything. As a Device Spirit, my structure is different from that of a human. My spiritual power flows against the current. If we are together, I will drain your vitality. You will die because of me!"
Speaking of this, she cried alone. "I can't be so selfish. I can't let you die because of me because I love you. You still have Xue Xin. You still have Rakshasa. You still have too many people to protect!"
In an instant, Qin Shi was completely dumbfounded.
Jade In The Book had never said these words to him. He didn't know that there was such a thing. All these years, he had only seen Jade In The Book's laughter. He didn't know that there were so many secrets and helplessness in Jade In The Book's heart.
Listening to Jade In The Book's weak and aggrieved voice, Qin Shi seemed to hear the sound of her heart breaking. The sound was very soft, but it shook violently in his ears like the morning bell of an ancient tomb.
At this moment, Qin Shi finally knew that he was wrong. Not only that, he was ridiculously wrong.
Yes, for the past three years, how could Jade In The Book be so heartless to him?
Trembling, he held Jade In The Book in his arms. Feeling the weak body in his arms, he blamed himself. "Sister Yu, I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
"It's not your fault. It's not your fault …" Jade In The Book's nose turned sour. She couldn't help but burst into tears. "Boohoo …!
Stone, I'm so tired! "
"This is why you always refuse me, isn't it?"
Qin Shi bit his lips, which were dry and cracked under the blazing heat. He asked softly, "This is why you don't allow me to fall in love with you, isn't it?"
Sobbing weakly, Jade In The Book nodded gently. She rested her head on Qin Shi's chest. "Stone, do you know? I hate it. I hate that I'm not a human being. I want to be with you. For the past three years, I haven't stopped thinking about it. But I really can't do this. I'm sorry …!"
"Is there no other way?"
Qin Shi was not reconciled. How could he be reconciled?
After calming down for a long time, Jade In The Book shook her head weakly.
At that moment, Qin Shi felt as if his heart was being pierced by an incomparably sharp dagger. He believed that Jade In The Book felt the same pain as he did.
He finally understood why the most painful thing in the world was that people who loved each other couldn't be together. This kind of pain was so close, yet so far away. It was indescribable.
"Impossible. There must be a way. As long as I'm strong enough, as long as I have enough strength, there must be a way!
Sister Yu, didn't you say, didn't you say that on this Barren Continent, as long as you have enough strength, there is nothing that you can't do?! "
Qin Shi said in a trembling voice. Tears welled up in his eyes. When he said these words, his heart was trembling because he wasn't sure. "Tell me, tell me, this is true, right?"
Jade In The Book didn't speak. She just cried silently.
Because there were some words that she didn't need to say. Qin Shi could also understand. On this continent, it was true that powerful people could accomplish many things that were impossible. However, there were also some things that could not be done no matter how strong one was.
For example, immortality and longevity. The improvement of cultivation was enough to prolong one's life. However, prolong was just a prolong life. One day, one's teeth would gradually fall off, one's hair would gradually turn white, and one's five Yang would be exhausted. As long as one was made of flesh and blood, one could not jump out of this strange cycle.
Now, what Jade In The Book said was the same. After all, she was a device spirit. How could she have a human body?
"Silly Stone, you can't be together. But I'm still with you, right?"
Jade In The Book forced a smile and used her jade-like hand to brush Qin Shi's cheek. She smiled faintly and said, "Let's go save Zhou Qin first. Perhaps in the future, when my Stone Pebble becomes very strong, he will really have a way to save her."
Gritting his teeth, Qin Shi nodded wordlessly. He knew that Jade In The Book was comforting him, but he refused to give up just like that. He silently raised his head and gazed at the boundless sky.
Since ancient times, those who obeyed the Heavens lived, and those who defied it perished. The Heavens couldn't be defied, but he was determined to defy it.
Sister Yu, one day, I want us to be together. At that time, no one will be able to stop us, not even the Heavens!
A promise was planted in the bottom of Qin Shi's heart.
"Let's go!"
With a wave of his hand, the barrier was removed. Qin Shi wrapped himself in his black robe and shuttled through the hundreds of tents.
Along the way, the two of them remained silent. Both of them had their own thoughts and found it difficult to calm down.
After a period of silence, the two of them quickly found the tents belonging to the Elders of the Qing Luan School.
From outside the tents, Qin Shi could sense an extremely vigorous spirit, and so could Jade In The Book. She frowned and said, "It seems that the six Elders are inside. We must first think of a way to lure them out."
"Hmm, it seems that we'll need to cause some trouble."
Taking a deep breath, Qin Shi's gaze shifted as if he suddenly thought of something. His finger flicked under his sleeve, and a golden light pierced toward Meng Hao's corpse.
Bang!
A loud noise immediately attracted the attention of countless Qing Luan School disciples. Immediately, Qin Shi held the Soul Sealing Tourmaline in his hand and hid in a corner. Immediately, the surroundings became chaotic.
A group of disciples fled in panic, "Not good, Eldest Brother is dead!"
"Eldest Brother is dead?
How is this possible? "
A disciple, his forehead beaded with sweat, scrambled into the Elders' tent. Panting, he said, "Elder Jie, Elder Jie, it's bad, Eldest Brother is dead!"
Bang!
An angry sound came from the tent, followed by a hoarse voice, "What?
Meng Hao is dead?
What happened? "
"I … I don't know. A witch lured Senior Brother away, and then he died!" The disciple said timidly.
"Come, let's go take a look!"
Having said that, seven majestic figures burst out from the tent at the same time, dragging a swaying star tail behind them as they leaped toward the place where Meng Hao died.
After waiting for the surroundings to quiet down, Qin Shi poked his head out from a corner, a hint of ridicule in his eyes, "A bunch of idiots, fooled so easily."
"Shi Tou, just now they scolded me, saying that I'm a witch. I'm not a witch!" Jade In The Book didn't catch the main point.
His eyelids twitching, Qin Shi felt quite helpless. But after a moment of helplessness, a hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes, "Don't worry, these people won't live for long."
