"No, you won't die." Bai Jinye said, pulling Pei Qingge up from the bed and helping her put on her coat. "There will definitely be a way. At worst... we just go back to Beiming Kingdom."

"Aren't you afraid of death when you return to Beiming Kingdom?" Pei Qingge looked up at him.

"I should have been dead." Bai Jinye said with a frown, "Yuan Che just wants my life. If I die, he won't make things difficult for you anymore."

"We escaped because we just hope you can survive?" Pei Qingge looked at Bai Jinye, "You may never be a match for the monarch. Find a place to live well in the future."

"If Master asked me to be reborn next to you to help you extend your life, no matter what the result is, I have done it. Now I have no concern for Beiming Kingdom. Knowing that Master is still alive is enough."

"No." Bai Jinye hugged Pei Qingge into his arms, "It's my fault. Your master asked me to stop you from returning to Beiming Kingdom. I know I can't stop you. I want to go with you."

If I go, maybe I can do something. But if I don’t go..."

"I didn't listen to Master either." Pei Qingge closed his eyes.

Bai Jinye's hand tightened slightly, but then quickly let go, "You have a rest, and I'll ask Chu Xingxuan. He raises so many gu, maybe there is some way to suck out my blood."

"No need." Pei Qingge raised his hand and grabbed Bai Jinye's clothes, "I'm a little tired too, that's it. This time, I don't want to die without anyone around me."

Bai Jinye frowned, "I asked Leng Yuan to come in and accompany you."

"Although A Yuan looks cold, she is actually soft-hearted and loves to cry. If she keeps crying, I might not be able to bear it until she dies." Pei Qingge closed her eyes.

She once thought that everything in Beiming Kingdom was the best.

The king devotes himself every day to the sake of the people of the world.

They have studied Dharma diligently since childhood, all in order to help more people.

From the moment she was chosen as the successor of the Saint, she had thought that when she became a Saint, she would continue to study magic to benefit the people and the people of Beiming Kingdom.

She wanted to be like her master, like the saints of the past generations, who could turn the tide in the critical moment of Beiming Kingdom or the monarch, even if it cost her own life, she would be willing to do so.

But now she realizes that everything she once regarded as sacred is a joke.

The skills she worked hard to learn might be the cornerstone of helping the evildoers do evil.

She may even have done many harmful things for the king without knowing it.

Those rules and laws restrict people other than the king.

The master said that Beiming Kingdom was a hell on earth and asked her not to go back to Beiming Kingdom, but she always had a vague feeling in her heart that Beiming Kingdom, the place where she grew up, was not what her master said.

She wanted to go back and see, maybe Beiming Kingdom was still what she thought it was.

She didn't listen to her master and openly opposed the king. This is probably the most outrageous thing she has ever done in her life.

She didn't even know what to do next.

So when she first discovered that the blood lotus was bleeding, she was indeed a little panicked.

She thought of her master, Gui Qing, Leng Yuan, and the unsolved plague god.

But then she sat there, feeling her blood draining away little by little, her body getting weaker, and she gradually calmed down.

She thought there might be nothing wrong with this.

So she sat there quietly, waiting for the blood in her body to drain away.

If Bai Jinye hadn't come, she would probably have fallen into the abyss just like before, watching the world disappear in front of her eyes.

At that time, she was unwilling to give in.

But now, she feels that her heart is more peaceful than ever before.

Pei Qingge's breathing gradually became low and slow. Bai Jinye lowered his eyes and looked at her side face, clenching his hands tightly into fists.

No, he couldn't watch her die like this!

Pei Qingge came to the blood-red world again. She sat in front of the blood-red pool and looked at the lotus flowers in the pool with boredom.

Shouldn't she be dead?

Why didn't you go to the underworld after death and come here again?

"Hey." The invisible voice sighed, "Why are you here again?"

"I don't know either. Blood Lotus shed a lot of blood. I think I should be dead." This time, Pei Qingge no longer wanted to know who the other party was.

"When you die, you should go to the underworld, why are you here?" The voice chuckled, "Coming here proves that you are not dead yet."

"He's not dead yet." Pei Qingge said lightly.

"Go back." The voice said again, "Don't come back until the blood lotus has grown."

"I didn't want to come here." Pei Qingge frowned slightly, "I don't know how to go back." She paused and asked, "You know Blood Lotus so well, do you know Blood Lotus?"

What’s the matter with the bleeding?”

"What's going on? You really don't know anything about blood lotus." The voice was a little helpless, "I ask you, when the blood lotus was planted in your body, what did the person who planted the blood lotus say about you?"

Pei Qingge thought seriously for a while, "She said that the seeds of this blood lotus will take root and sprout in my body. At a certain time, the monarch will use his blood to warm and nourish the blood lotus. When the blood lotus matures, it will

Offer it to the king."

The voice waited for a while, but when Pei Qingge didn't continue speaking, he asked, "No more?"

"Yeah." Pei Qingge responded.

The voice sighed heavily, and then said after a long time, "I didn't tell you, when will the monarch start raising the blood lotus, when will the blood lotus be mature, and how will it be provided to the monarch?"

Pei Qingge shook his head, "She said that the monarch knows these things and I don't need to worry about it. The monarch will naturally know when to do what."

"Ha." The voice sneered, and then said helplessly after a while, "What comes out of the blood lotus is not blood. Look at this pool. Do you think the water in this pool is blood red? That means it is blood?"

Pei Qingge was startled for a moment, moved forward, raised his hand and reached into the pool water to grab a handful. The blood-red pool water had no sticky feeling at all, just like clear water with red color.

She was stunned when she suddenly saw a drop of blood-red dew falling from a petal into the pool.

"It's not blood..." she murmured softly.

"This is Blood Lotus Crystal Dew. The condensed crystal dew will also consume your energy and your body will be weak for a period of time. However, this crystal dew has many effects, so don't waste it." After the voice said this,

Then he said, "Regarding the blood lotus, you should dig more for yourself. Don't come here all the time. Before the blood lotus is mature, it will be of no benefit to you."

When the voice fell, Pei Qingge opened her eyes suddenly. She wanted to sit up from the bed, but her body was really weak and she fell back heavily.

"Saint." Leng Yuan hurried forward to check, "Are you awake? How do you feel? Are you okay?"

Pei Qingge shook his head, paused to think of something, and then asked, "Where is Bai Jinye?"

Leng Yuan pursed her lips and looked into the yard.

Uh, I'm sorry, guys, it's a little late today.

There is one more update, maybe an hour later
