âYour Highness...â The elderâs voice came from the corner. He sounded old. He pleaded, âMiss Jun Shang, hurry up... stop him!â He was filled with anguish.
It was all his fault.
It was all his fault!
Fang Xi wasnât affected by Ming Shuâs appearance. He looked at her arrogantly and said, âJun Shang, youâre too late.â
Ming Shu clenched her fists. She smiled gently and said slowly, âYouâre not the one who decides that.â
Fang Xi got a little anxious.
He glanced at the tree of life, which was almost dead. His anxiousness disappeared. What could she do now?
Ming Shu walked toward him.
The apostles tried to stop her. Ming Shu waved her hand and the apostles were thrown to the side.
All kinds of magic spells flew in the air. Yet, the young ladyâs expression didnât change at all.
Fang Xi frowned. He took a few steps back.
The apostles came forward and blocked Ming Shuâs path.
But, no one could really stop her.
She jumped onto the platform. Fang Xi squinted. He gritted his teeth and said, âIf you stop me now, they wonât have a good time, either.â
He couldnât use magic now.
None of his men were her match.
Fang Xi clenched his fists tightly. His brain worked furiously. He couldnât just stand here and wait for death. He must find a way out.
What happened to the people outside?
Where was Jun Yinyin?
Fang Xi kept retreating. Ming Shuâs gaze moved from the tree of life to him.
Fang Xi felt a chill down his spine.
Fear engulfed him.
He feared the person in front of him.
âJun Shang, stop right there!â
The young lady didnât seem to hear him. She continued walking toward him.
The platform was circular. Fang Xi had already walked half of the circle. His eyes were glued to the young lady.
He saw the young lady smiling. Her smile was malicious. It was like the smile of Hades.
The magic scepter that heâd only seen twice started flying toward him.
It got nearer and nearer.
Fang Xi bent his body and stepped to the side. Someone rushed forward at this time and blocked Ming Shuâs attack.
âJun Yinyin, stop her!â Fang Xi shouted instantly. He quickly shifted to the other side.
Jun Yinyin seemed injured. âHow long do you need?â
âItâs almost done!â Fang Xi looked at the tree of life. Only a small amount of green light was left.
Jun Yinyin bit her lip and attacked Ming Shu.
Boom!
Rumbleâ
Magic spells collided in the air and fireworks exploded. Ming Shu was in a bad mood so she attacked harder.
Jun Yinyin was defeated in a few moves.
Boomâ
Jun Yinyin flew out and slammed on the ground.
Ming Shu shot two magic spells at her to restrain her.
Then, she turned and rushed toward Fang Xi. Fang Xi was kicked into the water before he even knew what was happening.
His head got pressed down. Water entered his nose and mouth.
Fang Xi struggled furiously. The water splashed everywhere.
The tree of life was worse now.
Ming Shu knocked Fang Xi unconscious. The speed of the withering decreased but it didnât stop.
She dragged Fang Xi out of the water and threw him on the platform. âHow can I make him return the source of life?â
Her voice was emotionless.
This question was directed at the fairy elder.
âLet His Highness... suck the source of life.â The elderâs voice was weak.
âWhat will happen to him?â
The elder remained silent for a moment. âHis Highness... will return to the tree of life.â
Ming Shu looked at the elder.
The elder was in agony too. âIf we donât do this, His Highness will die. We will die too. The entire fairy race will die.
âHis Highness wonât be hurt if he returns to the tree of life. Once the tree of life recovers, he will be born again.â
Ming Shu sighed. âWe canât use other fairies?â
The elder smiled bitterly. âHis Highness was chosen by the tree of life. Only he can do this.â
âIs there no other way?â
âNo.â The source of life was taken away from the tree of life. Only the fairy king could return it.
Ming Shu took Lian Sui out.
His body was translucent. He would disappear at any moment.
He heard the conversation between Ming Shu and the elder. Lian Sui touched Ming Shuâs finger lightly.
âI can do it.â
Ming Shu almost didnât hear him.
âWill you wait for me?â
Ming Shu looked at him intently.
âYouâll be able to stay alive if you suck out the source of life, right?â
She didnât care about the other fairies. She only cared about him.
âIâm their prince.â The little fairy suddenly became responsible. âI canât be selfish.â
Ming Shu pursed her lips. âWhat about me?â
âWill you wait for me?â
He would be born again.
It wouldnât take long.
He would come back soon.
After some time, Ming Shu replied calmly, âUp to you.â
Lian Sui changed back into human form. His face was extremely pale.
âDonât be angry.â Lian Sui hugged her neck weakly. He placed his head on her shoulder and said, âIâll accompany you when I come back. Iâll stay with you forever.â
Ming Shu didnât say anything. She looked into the emptiness in front of her. The noise around her seemed to have disappeared.
She hugged Lian Sui tightly.
Lian Sui felt around for her lips. He pecked her lightly. Ming Shu took the opportunity and kissed him. She only released him when he was out of breath.
Their faces were very close to each other. Lian Sui could see the love in her eyes.
Lian Sui opened his mouth. âI like you.â
âYes.â Ming Shu carried Lian Sui up. She placed him beside Fang Xi. âWhat should we do?â
Lian Sui wasnât sure, either. Ming Shu went to look for the fairy elder. She drew a magic array under the elderâs guidance. However, her magic wasnât right.
Thus, she dragged two apostles from the Light Sanctuary in. She took the chance to silence all the noisy people outside too.
The apostles trembled as they drew the array.
Ming Shu placed Lian Sui and Fang Xi in the array.
When Fang Xi woke up, he realized that the source of life in his body was being sucked out.
He struggled fearfully. What was happening?
No!
That was his power!
Ming Shu stood at the side. She looked at him with killing intent in her eyes.
