Xie Ziyou originally wanted to be a meat shield for the protagonist to withstand the impact of falling from the sky.

His consciousness was attached to the jade bracelet. Even if he broke it, he would only lose a body.

Anything in the world, as long as he wanted to, could be attached to it again, even if it was a strand of the protagonist’s hair.

But Guan Heng was tightly gripping his waist, his arms strong and strong. Xie Ziyou couldn’t turn around.

Layers of clouds swam, sharp branches of grass and leaves poked out of the cliff. They sneered and cut Guan Heng’s arms into thousands of tiny wounds.

Warm blood splashed on Xie Ziyou’s face. He was anxious and angry, and couldn’t help but curse.

But the sound of the wind blew away his voice.

Guan Heng’s mind was in a trance, and he only had one thought.

He couldn’t hurt his wandering.

Anything is fine. Just come at me.

“… … Bang!”

Passing through the layers of branches, the deepest part of the cliff was covered with dense dead leaves. The two of them smashed into the depths like cannonballs, kicking up a cloud of dust and startling the crows.

Xie Ziyou poked his head out of a pile of rotting dead branches. He tried his best to pull the dead leaves from his long hair, and then he leaned down to pull Guan Heng out.

He tugged at the youth’s collar, and said in grief and indignation, “Hey, wake up! Guan Heng? ”

The youth’s eyes were tightly shut, and his lips were deathly pale. After being shaken a few times, his tightly pursed lips slightly opened, and he spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.

Fortunately, he still had a breath.

Xie Ziyou carefully supported his head, carried him on his back, and walked out step by step.

He stumbled along the way, and from time to time, the rocks buried deep under the grass and leaves scratched the youth’s fair and slender ankles. The century-old mud was suffused with the stench of death, choking Xie Ziyou so badly that he wanted to cry.

He said to the System with teary eyes, “So it’s not easy to be a Gold Finger employee. I’m not jealous of them working with the main character anymore.”

The System sighed, “You You, your 1000 points … …”

“Ah, look at the blue sky.”

“… … Isn’t it a waste?”

Xie Ziyou wanted to cry, “If you don’t say anything, we can still be friends.”

He groaned as he climbed up the rock, his heart aching so much that it almost bled.

1000 points wasn’t easy to earn.

In the previous world, Xie Ziyou had conscientiously played the role of the villain for nearly ten years. In the end, he was cursed by the people and died with a grievance. His corpse was exposed in the wilderness and eaten by the crows. Only then did he manage to earn this few points.

The jade-shaped body scraped against the rock surface, producing a crisp sound. Although it wasn’t painful, it still left large patches of fine and messy white marks on the youth’s feet.

Although Guan Heng was young, his muscles were strong. Xie Ziyou was panting heavily as he carried him on his back. He felt like he was carrying a mountain on his back.

It wasn’t easy to find a stone platform facing the sun. It was clean and tidy. Xie Ziyou gently placed Guan Heng on the ground.

Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly realized that he couldn’t move his body — Guan Heng’s hand was holding onto a corner of his robe. The veins on his fingers were tight, and his attitude was rigid. He wouldn’t let go.

Xie Ziyou: “…”

The robe was formed from his body. Cutting off the corner of his robe was the same as cutting off a piece of jade from a jade bracelet. It definitely wouldn’t work.

Xie Ziyou raised his hand and lightly patted Guan Heng’s cheek. “Let go, hey, let go!”

The youth’s eyes were tightly shut and he was unconscious.

Xie Ziyou: “… Molestation! Murder! The Guan Family Leather Factory closed down. The head of the family ran away with his sister-in-law! ”

The youth’s eyebrows trembled slightly. His lips opened and closed slightly as he mumbled something incomprehensible. He leaned his head closer to Xie Ziyou’s feet. Not only did he not loosen his grip, he even tightened his grip.

Xie Ziyou thought to himself, “Damn, this is forcing me to cut my flesh.”

However, he bent down and stretched out his hand. His slender fingers touched the youth’s forehead, which was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat. When the chaotic profound energy in Guan Heng’s body started to find an outlet, Xie Ziyou couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Guan Heng had just started practicing “Heaven Devourer” and condensed his Profound Core, which was barely at the first grade. He was unable to completely absorb the Profound Ice Force that Xie Ziyou had left behind. He had only absorbed a small portion of it to ensure that he could move his limbs.

In such a terrible situation, he had also absorbed all of Hong ‘er’s profound energy. Coupled with the medicinal power of the medicinal pellets that he had forcefully snatched, his weak meridians were unable to withstand the high pressure. Fine cracks appeared in his dantian, bones, and even his Profound Core. The pain he felt was no less than pulling out his tendons and skin.

No one knew how he managed to endure all the way here and still had the mood to tease Xie Ziyou.

You Qin’s appearance worsened Guan Heng’s injuries even more.

Although her sword light didn’t directly strike the youth’s body, the Profound Qi that leaked out caused a serious impact. The surging Profound Qi had stimulated the Profound Ice Force that was hidden within the youth’s body. At this moment, the new and old injuries were acting up at the same time, turning his fragile body into a battlefield of slaughter. It stirred Guan Heng’s blood and Qi, causing his dantian to become a ragged sack.

It’s over, it’s over.

Xie Ziyou was devastated. He thought to himself, “What the hell is this? This kind of injury can’t be cured by the Blood Lingzhi, alright?”

He might as well take advantage of the fact that the main character was still breathing and dig a hole to bury him!

His heart was filled with grief and indignation. Xie Ziyou’s breath was like gossamer threads. He grabbed onto the System and said weakly, “Give me a heaven-defying life-saving pill that can cure all diseases …”

The System said, “200 points … But You Qin, is it worth it?”

“Of course,” Xie Ziyou gritted his teeth, “I’ve already invested 1,000 points, and I’m still missing 200 points?”

Although he was bound to the Villain System, he had his own good intentions. He wasn’t willing to do evil things. Normally, he was willing to spend his points to complete missions and pick those villains that didn’t cross the bottom line.

After all, villains weren’t the same as villains. They had different standpoints, opposing forces, taking the blame for others, or even breaking off the engagement this time, as long as there were obstacles on the main character’s path of growth, they could all be called villains.

Because of this, Xie Ziyou didn’t want to give up on this mission and Guan Heng — not just because of the points he had invested, but also because this person was the main character.

If he had to give a reason, it was probably because …

This was a person who hadn’t yet reached the age of weakness, had suffered a huge change, suffered serious injuries, and had been betrayed by his family, but was still in a deep coma, tightly gripping onto his sleeve.

Looking at the wrinkles on his sleeve that had been pinched, and then at Guan Heng’s fingers that had turned white, Xie Ziyou’s heart was filled with bitterness.

He couldn’t abandon a young man who trusted and relied on him so much.

The System was silent for a moment, then whispered, “Do you know how a gambler loses to the point of losing everything?”

Xie Ziyou, “…”

At this time, there was no need to feed him poisonous chicken soup!

Unable to persuade Xie Ziyou, the System went to help him exchange for a heaven-defying life-saving pill.

Although it was a pill, Xie Ziyou didn’t have any water at the moment, so the System was kind enough to help him exchange it for a liquid tonic.

The light green liquid glowed faintly, and was wrapped in a layer of transparent film. There seemed to be invisible bubbles churning within. As soon as it was taken out, a refreshing light enveloped the entire stone platform, and a fresh and elegant fragrance of fruits wafted out.

Worried that the fragrance would attract other beasts, Xie Ziyou anxiously tugged at Guan Heng’s lips — to no avail.

The young man’s teeth were tightly clenched, and as soon as he opened his lips, a thick smell of blood seeped out from between his white teeth.

The liquid couldn’t be poured in at all.

Xie Ziyou’s mind raced, and he gritted his teeth. His face was slightly red as he said to the System, “You’re not allowed to look.”

The System replied, “Alright, You You. But as a friendly reminder, this thing melts in your mouth. You have to feed it quickly when you’re mouth-to-mouth.”

Xie Ziyou had already bent down, but when he heard that, he sprang up with a swoosh. He glared at the System and said fiercely, “I didn’t intend to feed him mouth-to-mouth!”

“…”

“… That’s right, I’m just going to mouth-to-mouth. What do you think?!” Xie Ziyou was so ashamed and angry that he kicked the ground repeatedly. He growled, “I’m doing this to complete the mission. It’s a sacrifice, a sacrifice!”

Guan Heng was in a trance. His consciousness floated in a sea of chaos, and he was in a daze.

His entire body was filled with endless darkness, cold and damp, as if he had passed through an eternal night.

But slowly, there was color in front of his eyes. The dense and oppressive waves of ink surged to both sides, and a dazzling starlight slowly descended. The warm and gentle light fell between his eyes, turning into a trickle that flowed into his meridians, gently smoothing out every tiny wound.

It was so warm, like the first rays of dawn, the rosy glow of the sun, the first wisp of spring breeze.

The youth’s eyes were intoxicated, and he slightly pursed his lips.

It was as if he was holding onto a piece of starlight.

His eyelashes fluttered, and he quietly opened his eyes — —

Xie Ziyou, whose lips were still on Guan Heng’s mouth, and the tip of his tongue was squeezing between his teeth: “…”

The two of them looked at each other.

Xie Ziyou immediately sprang up. His cheeks were as red as the rosy clouds, and he stumbled back a few steps. He frantically raised his hand to pull the long hair behind him.

It was too shameful!

He didn’t know why he was so flustered. His entire body felt extremely uncomfortable, and he wished he could dig a hole in it, but the stone platform was too narrow, and there was no room for him to hide.

Fortunately, Guan Heng was still lying on the ground, motionless. His gaze was level, and he didn’t keep looking at him.

But the youth’s voice was clear, and he said softly, “You You, were you kissing me just now?”

“Kiss your big head!” Xie Ziyou’s breathing was rapid, and his ears were so red that they were almost dripping blood. He growled in a low voice, “I was saving your life!”

“Oh,” Guan Heng said, “I saw that you looked very embarrassed … How about I close my eyes, and you pretend I never woke up.”

“I’m not embarrassed!”

“But your face is very red.”

“That’s because of the sun … And your face is also very red!”

“I was probably burned by you.”

“Don’t make it sound like I’m emitting light and heat. I’m not a third wheel!”

Guan Heng didn’t say anything. He closed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up into a smile.

He didn’t know what a light bulb was. In his mind, other than candles and lanterns, the only things that could emit light and heat were the small, blazing sun in the horizon.

The youth in front of him had exquisite brows, and his eyes were bright. His eyes were the color of amber that was as hot as the sun — just as dazzling as when he had glanced at them before he fainted.

When he was angry and embarrassed, his cheeks were flushed, and the flame-like lines between his eyebrows were as red as steel. His beautiful peach blossom eyes were raised, silently, and seducing the heartstrings of others.

He didn’t dare to look too much.

Just one more glance was enough to make one feel like they were going to be burned.

So good, Guan Heng thought.

The bitterness of his entire life seemed to have gathered on this day. Breaking off the engagement, poisoning, banishment, assassination … everyone in the world had betrayed him on this day.

But Guan Heng’s right hand gently covered his chest, feeling the rapidly beating heart below. An incomparable sense of satisfaction and fullness gathered together.

The bright and beautiful sunlight fell on the youth’s shy and evasive eyes not far away. It was like a young blade of grass poking out of its bud. A silvery glimmer quietly fell. It was his final connection with the joy of the world.

There were still people who truly cared about him.

It wasn’t because he had an engagement that could bring glory to the family, nor was it because of the favors he had bestowed upon them in his early years. It was only because of him, because of this ordinary and insignificant existence called Guan Heng.

Under his right palm, the blood vessels in his veins surged. His heart was rapid and powerful. He repeatedly tapped his chest, sending a warm current to every corner of his limbs and bones.

Right now, he had the courage to do anything for You You, Guan Heng thought, even if You You wanted him to kill a Xuan Beast King.

The warm current flowed through his body, mending his dantian that was full of holes. It transformed into a surging profound energy that constantly squeezed and contracted — —

“Pu.”

The surroundings were quiet. Only the wind blew past the branches and rustled.

A corner of Guan Heng’s swollen heart was suddenly pierced, and it silently deflated.

“Uh … You You, can I tell you something?”

Xie Ziyou had yet to recover from the quagmire of shame.

With his back facing Guan Heng, he held his face with both hands and said unwillingly, “Speak.”

Guan Heng’s tone was nervous and guilty. “My Xuan Core … seems to be broken.”

“… …”
