Chapter 2105 - 2106: Cruel Tenderness
Chapter 2105: Chapter 2106: Cruel Tenderness
"Please save him, Mr. Xue, I’m begging you to save him!" Ying Lou pleaded almost with blood in her tears.
Xue An suddenly fell silent.
Because he had long anticipated that this day would come, he just didn’t expect it to come so soon.
At the same time, Yue Qinghuan also appeared on the side, first glancing at Yue Sha, then couldn’t help but exclaim, "How is this guy not dead yet?"
This remark immediately drew an angry glare from Ying Lou.
Yue Qinghuan then realized that perhaps her words were inappropriate, and explained.
"Don’t misunderstand, I mean with his current physical condition, he should have died several times over, yet he managed to hold on until now. It’s truly a miracle."
Ying Lou was stunned, because Yue Qinghuan’s words were like heavy hammers, desperately pounding her heart.
She looked at Xue An with her last sliver of hope, "Mr. Xue..."
The words may have been left unsaid, but the meaning was clear.
She hoped that Xue An would offer some different response, but she was disappointed.
Xue An merely sighed softly, then shook his head, "Though a bit blunt, she is right. The fact that Yue Sha held on until now is indeed a miracle."
With these words, Ying Lou felt as if she was sinking rapidly into a dark sea.
Despair and solitude engulfed her heart like madness, her ears filled with roaring sounds, leaving her unable to hear anything else.
This feeling made her body grow cold, making her shiver uncontrollably.
But at that moment, she felt a warm, large hand gently holding her own.
This made her tremble slightly, then she looked up.
Yue Sha, with blood still at the corner of his mouth, had woken up and was smiling at her.
Ying Lou was stunned.
Yet Yue Sha chuckled, "Silly girl, I’m not dead yet, why are you crying?"
Ying Lou’s eyes widened because she could feel the aura around Yue Sha slowly recovering.
This made her deliriously happy.
However, at this moment, Yue Qinghuan, who witnessed this scene, couldn’t help but sigh softly, "I understand why you managed to hold on until now, to survive you cut off all your vitality, but is it really worth it?"
Though said softly, Ying Lou still heard it, and while she did not fully understand the meaning, being as astute as she was, she naturally realized that Yue Sha must have sacrificed a lot for her.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Yue Sha, "Is what she said true?"
Yue Sha laughed softly, "Yes!"
Then, Yue Sha slowly sat up, looked at Yue Qinghuan, and said calmly, "This was all my own choice, so it doesn’t matter whether it’s worth it or not."
Yue Qinghuan shrugged her shoulders, "That’s fair, suit yourself then!"
With that, she vanished, leaving only a voice from the void.
"Xue An, I’ll be waiting for you outside!"
Yue Qinghuan was gone.
Maitreya also left silently.
Only Xue An, Yue Sha, and Ying Lou were left in this void.
Yue Sha’s condition had largely recovered, aside from a little paleness, he looked no different than before.
Yet this condition caused a deep shade of worry to appear in Xue An’s eyes.
"Xue An, you don’t need to look at me like that, as if I’m about to die!" Yue Sha chuckled.
Xue An remained silent, not knowing what he should say.
Because, as Yue Sha said, it was his own choice, irrelevant to being worth or not worthy.
Though he was Yue Sha’s friend, he had no right to interfere in this matter.
At that moment, Ying Lou suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Xue An.
"Mr. Xue, thank you for saving us!"
Xue An waved his hand, "You’re too kind, this is something I should have done, there’s no need to thank me."
"Even so, without you, both my uncle and I might have died already!" Saying this, Ying Lou managed a bitter smile, then bowed her head and whispered.
"Mr. Xue, there are some things I want to say to Uncle, could you...?"
Before Ying Lou could finish, Xue An had already turned to leave, saying softly, "If there’s anything you need you can call me anytime, I’ll be outside the void."
With that, his form also disappeared.
In an instant, only Yue Sha and Ying Lou were left in the large void.
Ying Lou walked in front of Yue Sha, sitting cross-legged.
They sat in silence.
For a long time, Ying Lou finally spoke softly, "Uncle, did you know all along?"
Though she didn’t specify what he knew, Yue Sha understood, nodded slightly, "Yes!"
"Since when?"
"Since the moment I decided to find you."
With these words, Ying Lou trembled violently, tears flowing uncontrollably, choked with emotion, "So from the very first moment you saw me, you already knew what your ultimate fate would be, didn’t you?"
"Yes!" Yue Sha answered honestly without concealing anything.
Suddenly, Ying Lou was furious, pointing at Yue Sha’s nose, she yelled.
"Then why did you appear before me? Did you know how cruel it is to give light to someone who has never seen light only to cruelly take it away? Do you think what you did is so great?"
"You saved me, only to quietly die on some unknown day, leaving me alone in this world to endure endless torment. Is that what a Buddhist practitioner like you should do?"
Ying Lou was almost hysterical, her finger nearly touching Yue Sha’s nose.
Yue Sha remained unmoved, just quietly watching Ying Lou, until she had vented almost enough, then he softly said, "I’m sorry."
Those three words, though simple, drained all the energy from Ying Lou’s body.
She completely broke down, throwing herself into Yue Sha’s arms, crying her heart out.
Between sobs, she gasped and said, "Yue Sha, you big bad guy, you’re just a complete jerk!"
Yue Sha looked at Ying Lou in his arms, his gaze becoming gentle as water, then gently stroked her head, "Yes, I am a jerk..."
But his words were immediately halted.
Yue Sha wanted to struggle but paused when he saw Ying Lou’s face full of tears.
After a long time, Ying Lou finally let go of him, looking at Yue Sha in a daze.
"Will you really die?"
"Yes."
"How long do you have left? A day? A month? Or a year?"
Yue Sha smiled bitterly, shaking his head, "I don’t know the exact time, because I am living by sacrificing my own soul, it might collapse in the next second or it might take longer."
"But given the recent turmoil, it might not be more than three years!" Yue Sha frankly revealed everything without any deceit.
