Killing God - Chapter 339
Chapter 339 Life
In the darkness, they were so close that they seemed to be able to hear the breathing and heartbeat of the people beside them. The broken walls of the windows and doors could be vaguely seen from the cracks that the enemies outside were stirring again.
Ling Chunni gently hugged Zhong Qingzhu’s thin but soft body. After a moment of silence, she suddenly whispered, “Will someone save us?”
Zhong Qingzhu did not have any expression of joy, anger, or sorrow on his face, nor could he see any other expression on his face. He only said indifferently, “No one should come.”
Ling Chunni was shocked and said, “Why?”
Zhong Qingzhu looked out of the house and calmly said, “They have been making such a big commotion these past half a day. If someone had come, they would have come so early. Up until now, no one has come to check on them. Most likely, it was the people from the Beast Alliance who sealed this street outside. In addition, this place is already remote and few people have come, so this is the reason.”
Ling Chunni’s heart sank. He bit his red lips, but didn’t say anything else. After a moment of silence, he sighed softly.
Zhong Qingzhu heard the sigh and turned to look at her. There seemed to be a strange and inexplicable expression in his eyes as he said, “What, are you afraid of death?”
Ling Chunni nodded and said, “Yes, I’m afraid of death.”
A trace of contempt flashed through the depths of Zhong Qingzhu’s eyes. He turned his head faintly. However, a moment later, he heard Ling Chunni’s faint voice. “I’m so afraid that after I die, I’ll be alone like that,” he said. I’m so scared that after I die, if the Yin and Yang are separated, I really won’t be able to see him again. I can’t bear to part with him. I really can’t bear to part with him. ”
Zhong Qingzhu was stunned. She did not expect Ling Chunni to say such words in such a situation. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little warm on her face. However, anger immediately surged in her heart. She thought to herself, “Why is this woman so shameless?” At this moment, her mood was a little agitated. In addition, she was in a desperate situation, so her usual calm and self-control was lacking. Her face naturally revealed a little.
At this moment, Ling Chunni was almost in contact with her skin. Naturally, she immediately noticed Zhong Qingzhu’s peculiar appearance. When she looked up and saw Zhong Qingzhu’s expression, especially in the past few years, Zhong Qingzhu had gradually nurtured a noble and cold temperament. This made Ling Chunni feel a little ashamed and apologetic. She whispered, “I … I’m sorry for my nonsense.”
Zhong Qingzhu snorted coldly and turned to the side, ignoring her.
After a while, Ling Chunni’s voice became more cautious. She whispered, “Miss Zhong, when will they attack again?”
Zhong Qingzhu said indifferently, “I don’t know, but it’s only a matter of time.”
Ling Chunni said, “Then … how much longer can you hold on now that you’re injured so badly?”
Zhong Qingzhu took a deep breath and a faint dim look flashed across his eyes. However, his expression did not reveal the slightest bit. He calmly said, “The previous time I activated the formation, I had already exhausted all my spiritual energy. Therefore, the next time they entered, I would not be able to stop them.”
Ling Chunni’s body trembled, and a trace of shock flashed across his face. However, seeing Zhong Qingzhu’s calm expression, he didn’t have the slightest intention of joking. After a while, he bitterly smiled and nodded, as if he had accepted his fate.
Zhong Qingzhu didn’t know why. Although Ling Chunni was supporting her, she was still angry and dissatisfied when she looked at this woman. Thus, she sneered coldly and said, “It’s because I’m not good at learning. I can’t protect you. I can’t let you live. I’m really sorry.”
Ling Chunni lowered his head slightly, as if he did not react to Zhong Qingzhu’s words. After a while, he said softly, “Miss Zhong, you said that you are also a disciple of Lingxiao Sect. Do you know Shen Shi?”
Zhong Qingzhu’s body suddenly stiffened for a moment. After a moment, he said indifferently, “Yes.”
Ling Chunni looked up with a warm smile and said, “Is that so? What do you think of him?”
Zhong Qingzhu did not answer her question. She only quietly looked at Ling Chunni and suddenly asked, “What is your relationship with Shen Shi?”
Ling Chunni paused for a moment, seemingly a bit hesitant, but a moment later, he suddenly raised his head, straightened his back, and said with a smile, “I am his woman.”
④
I’m his woman …
Such a straightforward and straightforward answer instantly made Zhong Qingzhu completely at a loss how to respond. She stared at this woman in a daze and saw the faint smile on her face that was warm and admired when she spoke of that man. At that moment, even this smile made her slightly cold body warm.
Zhong Qingzhu was at a loss for a moment, and felt his heart empty.
Ling Chunni’s voice sounded in his ears. “Anyway, it seems like I really won’t be able to survive tonight. Perhaps this is the end of my life. However, I feel that it’s a little … oh, can I tell you about me? Let’s just pretend that we were chatting before we died.”
Zhong Qingzhu frowned. She was a little unhappy. She was about to refuse, but Ling Chunnie had already said it from the side. The first thing she said was,
“Actually, I’m an orphan …”
Zhong Qingzhu suddenly swallowed the words that he had stopped. Even she could not explain why, but she could not say it out loud. Thus, in the darkness, she quietly listened to this woman she had never met before today and began to whisper about her short and ordinary life that she had experienced so far.
In this world, there were tens of millions of living beings. Everyone had a different path because of the bitterness of the floating world.
So while listening to other people’s lives, It was as if Zhong Qingzhu had opened a window to peek at a completely different path. Gradually, he seemed to have seen the difficult and bitter journey of another woman in this world. Little by little, she gathered into a river. It was as if it was another wisp of dark grey that she had never seen before in the Great Thousand Worlds, hidden beneath that filthy prosperity.
However, the ice-cold black ash wasn’t all gray. It still had a warm light. When Ling Chunnie spoke about godmother, her smile was gentle. However, there weren’t many such light colors until the end of her story. She spoke about the man named Shen Shi.
Then she laughed. It was a warm smile from the bottom of her heart. Zhong Qingzhu, who was nestling in her soft embrace, could clearly feel her intentions. Then, she silently listened to Ling Chunnie recalling the warmth with happiness in the cold night.
Little by little, it was as if Ling Chunnie remembered every little thing in her life clearly. Thus, she told Zhong Qingzhu everything. Later, she was not even telling Zhong Qingzhu her story, but immersed in the memories of that beloved man.
Even if death was not far away, even if the night was desolate, as long as the memories were still there, perhaps he wouldn’t be so scared, right?
After bidding farewell in this life, he covered his heart and prayed to the heavens, wishing to meet again in the next life.
Zhong Qingzhu became more and more silent. She didn’t say a word from beginning to end, but the contempt in her eyes had dissipated at some unknown time.
At some point, Ling Chunni seemed to have suddenly woken up from that dream. She was stunned for a moment, and then she whispered apologetically to Zhong Qingzhu, “Ah … I’ve let you listen to my nonsense for a long time. I’m really sorry. Miss Zhong, you’re a disciple of a famous sect, and I’m from a lowly background. You might look down on me, but I’m not lying, but I’m really …”
“I believe you.” Suddenly, Zhong Qingzhu interrupted her with a short sentence. Ling Chunni was shocked. She stopped and looked at her. After a while, Zhong Qingzhu said indifferently, “My background can also be described as your lowly background.”
Ling Chunni was shocked and asked in shock, “What?”
Just as she was about to continue questioning, a loud noise suddenly sounded from outside the house that had been quiet for a long time. It seemed to be lively outside, and the furious shouts of the Beast Alliance cultivators came again. The two women on the beam trembled slightly. Was the final moment coming?
Zhong Qingzhu’s breathing became somewhat hurried in the darkness, as if even the normally calm her was a little distracted at this moment. However, a moment later, she suddenly turned around and looked at Ling Chunni with a cold look in her clear eyes.
Ling Chunni did not react for a moment. Just as she was feeling anxious and nervous, she suddenly felt a chill on her neck. Zhong Qingzhu touched her delicate neck with one of her palms. At the same time, she saw a determination in Zhong Qingzhu’s eyes. Her voice came from beside her ear and said,
“If you are destined to die, why don’t I help you instead of being humiliated to death?”
Ling Chunni’s body suddenly trembled, and she felt a chill surge out of her heart. Even though she hadn’t used the slightest bit of strength on that palm, it was as if she was unable to breathe for an instant. However, looking at Zhong Qingzhu’s clear gaze, Ling Chunni could not say anything about the rejection in her heart.
Really … is there no other way to go?
Really … I’m going to die like this, so I won’t be able to see him again?
The noise outside the room suddenly rose, as if the killing intent had surged. The night breeze was so cold, as if it had frozen all life force. This world is so difficult, evil is ubiquitous, just how to have a warm and happy life?
Ling Chunnie didn’t know.
There was no way out in front of her.
Before she died, she only saw that pair of cold and clear eyes. Even though she was still subconsciously hugging this beautiful woman’s body.
She thought of him.
She suddenly missed him so much.
Stone, stone, stone … she muttered in her heart, then closed her eyes.
She didn’t look at the cold and dark world, so the darkness seemed to be a little far away. Thus, it was as if only the man who could warm her heart was left in front of her. She saw his smile and figure, so happy.
Even though the night was desolate.

On Golden Rainbow Mountain, in the valley.
Shen Shi suddenly sat up in his sleep, as if he was in a trance.
After a while, his mind cleared up a little. He muttered a few words. He thought to himself that he had roughly finished the work on the mountain. He could go down the mountain tomorrow morning. In addition, there was that pig. In his dream, he saw that it was as tall as a small mountain. It was truly terrifying.
“You only eat spiritual herbs and don’t work. Sooner or later, teach that stupid pig a lesson!”
