After Deceiving Shizun into Dual Cultivating, I Ran Away With His Bun 56

Chapter 56

After the snowflake landed on Lin Queli, it actually alleviated the pain of the Demon Sword entering his body.
Lin Queli was a little surprised.
Huh?
These snowflakes can protect the disciples of the Myriad Sword Sect, but am I… still considered a disciple of the Myriad Sword Sect?
Am I still Helan Xue’s disciple?
The spiritual energy with a hint of cold qi circulated in his body, especially concentrated on his ankle… huh?
Only then did Lin Queli see the faint, shimmering jade bracelet on his ankle, which was now flashing with spiritual energy.
“…!”
This is… the symbol of a disciple of the Myriad Sword Sect!!
That’s not right. Didn’t I already return the jade bracelet to Helan Xue?! Why is it back on me! When did Helan Xue put it on?
Could it be…
Lin Queli only felt his heart beat faster and faster in an instant. His heart seemed to be filled with something, so full that it was almost about to burst out of his eyes.
No wonder… no wonder Helan Xue didn’t like him calling him “Immortal Venerable”!
Helan Xue let him call him “Shizun.”
Shizun…
His Shizun.
He made a mistake, and his Shizun would sternly rebuke him, hit his palm, and drag him back for punishment…
But he had never abandoned him from beginning to end.
Lin Queli bit his lower lip and held back the tears in his eyes.
The next moment, Helan Xue came to him and pulled him into his arms. “Are you crazy?!”
Helan Xue saw the tears at the corners of Lin Queli’s eyes. He thought his little disciple was in too much pain.
Lin Queli said in a daze, “I…”
“You will definitely explode and die like this!” Helan Xue said sternly, “Stop!”
Ah…?
Lin Queli said doubtfully, “But-but I was going to…”
“This Venerable knows what you are going to do!” Helan Xue’s eyes were blood red. “I said, stop.”
Lin Queli explained, “But everyone will be saved if I do this! Why is Shizun stopping me…”
Helan Xue looked at Lin Queli. “This Venerable has his own way of dealing with the Demon Sword’s appearance. If an immortal-demon war breaks out, This Venerable will also fight to protect the common people. There is no need for you to offer your life. That is This Venerable’s duty, not yours!”
It was rare for Lin Queli to hear emotion and fluctuation in Helan Xue’s voice.
Even…
Helan Xue’s eyes were no longer a sea of impassive waves. At this moment, a gentle and hot wave finally came towards him.
Did Helan Xue mean that in his heart, he was as important as the common people?
Lin Queli only felt it was unreal.
He said in a hoarse voice, “But I am also… Shizun’s disciple.”
Sacrificing his body to the sword sounded terrifying, but only he could do it. Anyway, he was going to leave eventually. At least before he left, he could do something for Helan Xue, the snowball, and the people of this world. It would not be in vain that he had come here and become Helan Xue’s disciple.
Helan Xue froze in place.
“And it’s too late now.” Lin Queli gave a dry laugh and pointed at the dark thunder in the sky.
The next moment, Helan Xue saw Lin Queli’s eyes turn black again, the whites of his eyes completely gone, and his whole body was torn with bloody cracks from the expanding demonic energy.
The little disciple who used to cry for a long time after being hit on the palm by him was now almost unrecognizable from the torture of the Demon Sword.
“Ugh—!”
Lin Queli convulsed all over.
The Demon Sword is forged!
Dark clouds floated over and covered the sky above the two of them.
Before the lightning struck, the pressure had already caused the grass and trees within a hundred miles to wither and die.
Rumble—
When the first thunderbolt struck, the sky seemed to crack open. Then all the heavenly thunder poured out from the black clouds, rushing towards the two with great momentum.
Helan Xue pulled Lin Queli into his arms and raised his hand to set up a barrier to resist.
Lin Queli leaned against Helan Xue’s chest, having lost all his strength. He said anxiously, “Shizun, don’t…”
The System also kept reminding him.
【Host! As we discussed before, only an existence that surpasses the setting of the book can kill the setting of the book. You, this outsider villain, have caused a serious collapse by becoming one with the Demon Sword, so you will attract the judgment of the heavenly dao, which is not only on par with the demonic energy of heaven and earth for thousands of years, but also a plot kill! The Immortal Venerable is a character in the book, he may not be able to resist!!】
“I know!!”
Lin Queli was about to cry in frustration. “Shizun…!”
Boom!!
The lightning struck the barrier, and in an instant, the barrier was shattered into pieces.
Helan Xue held him and deployed a new barrier.
Boom—
Boom!!
One after another.
Lin Queli saw the surroundings flicker between light and dark, with lightning and thunder. And the people below had already retreated. The area around the altar had become ruins. Both the trees and the Demon Palace were razed to the ground in an instant.
“Shizun… please…”
Seeing the blood at the corner of Helan Xue’s mouth, Lin Queli sobbed, “Let go…”
Helan Xue was silent, his face as expressionless as ever, but the force with which he held Lin Queli did not lessen in the slightest.
The next moment, Lin Queli saw the dark thunder in the sky seem to finally stop, but then Lin Queli’s heart sank. He saw the dark thunder slowly move and gather together.
This is going to be a big one!
Lin Queli grabbed Helan Xue’s collar. “Shizun…”
Before he could finish, Lin Queli saw his vision go white.
The dark thunder was like a huge Buddha’s hand, reaching out from the ink-black sky and pressing down on them.
At this moment, even the most powerful cultivator was insignificant in the face of the entire sky.
Boom—
The moment the thunder tribulation fell, Helan Xue used all the cultivation he had accumulated in his life.
Perhaps because of this, he actually saw his own sea of consciousness.
He seemed to have returned to that village of the past, pointed at by a thousand fingers.
He was filled with hatred. He raised his sword and was about to go and kill the demons.
But the demon waiting for him at the end was Lin Queli.
Lin Queli smiled. “Shizun will not kill me.”
Helan Xue shook his head. “My nature is bloodthirsty and murderous. I have killed most of the demons in this world.”
Lin Queli said, “Shizun is not a person who is murderous by nature and needs to restrain himself. Shizun just cannot forgive himself from the past, so he directs his hatred at the evil—the Demon Clan. But what about me? Do you really think I am an evil person?”
Helan Xue wanted to say something more, but the scene before him began to dissipate.

…

Not far away, Shouyang stood on the top of the mountain and looked anxiously towards the altar, but he saw that the lightning had actually spread so far!
He looked at the lightning that was about to fall and immediately formed a formation with both hands, shouting, “We are far away, the lightning is not as terrifying as on the altar. Everyone, quickly form a formation to protect yourselves and resist!”
But just as the lightning was about to fall, he saw snow begin to fall around them.
Heavy snow.
The cold wind wrapped around the snowflakes and melted the lightning.

…

Farther away.
A’Yu and the others were hiding behind the city wall. They were also a little surprised to see the snow falling on their shoulders.
They had not expected the lightning to reach outside the city wall, let alone to be protected by the snow.
“Snow…” A’Lin sniffed the snowflake and said, “This spiritual energy comes from Taxue Xianzun. Why would he protect us?”
—They were demons, right?
Someone pointed not far away. “It’s snowing.”
The originally pure white snow was now tinged with a golden light. All the flying swords in the sky had also turned into snow, and as they fell, they melted all the lightning and demonic energy, falling on everyone without bias, treating them all equally.

…

On the city wall, Qiansui’s eyes widened. The blizzard in the center of the altar not only dissolved the lightning, but also blew over the ruins around them. Wherever the snowflakes went, green plants and new shoots grew from the originally scorched earth.
After the lightning dissipated, everything was renewed.
Qiansui gripped Shouyang’s collar tightly. “Is-is-is-is Grandmaster… becoming an immortal!”
Shouyang was also stunned. He was at a loss for words for a moment, and only after a while did he find his voice. “Mmm.”
Helan Xue had been half a step away from becoming an immortal for eight hundred years, and now he had finally broken through and become an immortal.

…

Altar.
Helan Xue knelt on the ground, holding Lin Queli, his fingertips trembling slightly.
Lin Queli’s hair was scattered, and he lay limply against Helan Xue. His red robes and the blood on his body fell on the snow.
“A’Li.”
The thunder tribulation was over, but Lin Queli’s breath… was gradually dissipating.
Helan Xue looked down and saw the red patterns on the altar flashing, and even impatiently climbing onto Lin Queli’s body.
Even if the thunder tribulation did not strike Lin Queli’s body, this altar was connected to heaven and earth.
Lin Queli and the Demon Sword could not escape judgment. Even if he used everything, he could not keep him.
Lin Queli groggily opened his eyes. He curled up in Helan Xue’s arms, weakly leaning against his chest, his face pale, and his whole body covered in lacerations.
He breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s great… Shizun is fine… cough, the thunder tribulation has… cough… passed…”
Helan Xue closed his eyes.
In the past, when he went down the mountain, he had seen mortals wailing or losing their souls after losing their loved ones, but he had never understood or thought deeply about it. At that time, when he saw Lin Queli helping and comforting the villagers everywhere, he had even thought that it would be better to seize the time to cultivate more so that he could better slay demons and exterminate evil.
So this was the suffering of separation from loved ones of the common people.
It was a pity that he had cultivated the Dao of Cangsheng for thousands of years, yet he had long been too far away from the common people.
The moment he understood, he finally took that heavenly step and became an immortal.
But now, was it important whether he became an immortal or not?
His little disciple, who was afraid of pain and timid, was now lying in his arms, covered in wounds, and his eyes had lost their former light.
But even so, he still tightly clutched his Shizun’s sleeve, full of trust.
Helan Xue: “A’Li, I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay…! Really!” Lin Queli tried hard to smile, but he found that he didn’t even have the strength to smile.
So… this is what death is like?
Helan Xue asked in a hoarse voice, “Does it hurt?”
Lin Queli: “It doesn’t hurt!”
This was the truth.
Lin Queli could barely feel his own body anymore.
He tried hard to speak. “Mmm… how to explain it… cough… I will be reincarnated. Yes, that’s right. I-I will go to a new world and live a good life, so…”
Lin Queli leaned against Helan Xue.
Although he could return to his original world, this was also the real “death” of this body. He could feel that he seemed to have a lot more strength, as if it were a final burst of energy. Many memories of coming to this world also suddenly appeared in his mind.
He remembered the first time he met Helan Xue in the snow, and he also remembered causing trouble and getting spanked in the Myriad Sword Sect.
He also remembered Helan Xue telling him that every little dog is different.
If every little dog is different, then will Helan Xue remember him?
Lin Queli said, “So I still hope Shizun will forget me soon!”
—No, actually, I especially hope that Helan Xue won’t forget me so quickly.
But if it will be sad, then it’s better not to remember.
I wonder if Helan Xue will be sad?
Helan Xue paused.
Lin Queli buried his face in Helan Xue’s chest and said in a small voice, “Shizun has lived for a long time and will live for a long time in the future, so…”
Helan Xue interrupted, “You are the only person I have ever loved in my life. How can I easily forget.”
The moment he became an immortal, Helan Xue finally understood his own heart.
But…
“A’Li, have you ever had a trace of sincere love for This Venerable?”
“I…”
Lin Queli was already dumbfounded.
He even suspected that he was already dead and was now in a beautiful dream.
Helan Xue said… he liked him?
Lin Queli’s eyes reddened again.
All along, Lin Queli had not dared to think about it.
It wasn’t that he didn’t like him, but that he didn’t dare to like him.
No matter how much he liked him, there would be no ending. And now, whether he liked him or not, it didn’t seem to matter anymore. He also didn’t want Helan Xue to have a harder time forgetting him because of his one sentence of liking.
Sob, sob, sob, damn it. For Helan Xue to say such words at a time like this would make him feel… a little regretful!!
And a little reluctant. If only he didn’t have to die, he… he wanted to be liked by Helan Xue.
“A’Li?”
Helan Xue gently stroked the top of his head. “It’s okay. If you don’t want to answer, you don’t have to.”
Lin Queli looked at Helan Xue’s eyes.
But perhaps… he would never like anyone else again in the future.
He had seen someone as stunning as Helan Xue.
The perfect, selfless immortal in the novel had once stroked the top of his head and softly said that he loved him. How could he ever like someone else?
Lin Queli was a little reluctant and wanted to take a few more glances, but his vision was getting more and more blurry.
He gradually couldn’t see Helan Xue’s features clearly.
“Shizun…”
Lin Queli leaned against Helan Xue’s chest, the familiar woody scent in his nose. He listened to Helan Xue’s heartbeat and said with satisfaction, “Good night.”
