“Xiaobei!!!” Liu Xuanxin screamed in horror.

She would have never dreamt that Chen Xiaobei would actually come to her rescue wih no regard to his own safety and to use his own body to block that deadly Murderous Qi!

Bam!

Chen Xiaobei did not respond. He fell to the ground onto his knees, as if he has been drained of all energy.

Like Feng Aotian, Chen Xiaobei’s face also drained of color, and his body was trembling furiously.

It was only because Chen Xiaobei’s state of mind was much stronger than Feng Aotian’s that he did not howl and wail. Instead, he relied on his mental perseverance to brace himself against the agony brought on by the Murderous Qi!

However, when it came to health, Chen Xiaobei was nowhere near Feng Aotian. It was impossible to block off the Murderous Qi with only just his state of mind.

If even Feng Aotian could die under the affliction of the Murderous Qi, how could Chen Xiaobei possibly survive?

The people of the Anti-Bei Alliance huddled at the end of the passage, not even bothering to hide their delight at Chen Xiaobei’s predicament.

“This is great! That stupid Chen Zhufeng is blocking the Murderous Qi with his body. By the time Murderous Qi wears off, he would be dead! That’s killing two birds with one stone!”

“This is like the story of the clam and the snipe! In the end, the fisherman wins! With the two of our biggest threats eliminated, we’ll just need to break open that doors then we can get the hell out this horrid place! Hahaha!”

“You’re right! Without Chen Zhufeng, the rest of them will lose their mainstay! Once we get out of this place, we’ll start over and slaughter everyone who’s even remotely related to Chen Zhufeng! We’ll vent out all our hatred on them!”

The Anti-Bei Alliance murmured amongst themselves, growing more and more excited by the minute at the prospect of the death of the man who had oppressed them since they entered the mausoleum. Chen Xiaobei was at the brink of death and they were euphoric!

“Xiaobei!”

Six-Eared Macaque and the others gathered around Chen Xiaobei, ignoring the group of fiends.

They were devastated to see Chen Xiaobei suffer in such a manner.

Chen Xiaobei was their brother, good friend, and their greatest hope of whom was going to lead them to survive the calamity and return them to the heavenly realm!

Should Chen Xiaobei die, it would be the most painful, most unbearable blow to them.

“No no no!!! Xiaobei, please don’t die!” Of course, the person who would take it the hardest would be Liu Xuanxin.

Her eyes were red-rimmed, and pouring like rain when she dropped to her knees as wrapped her arms tightly around Chen Xiaobei.

“Why are you so stupid? I’ve distanced myself from you and refused to let you see my face… Why did you sacrifice yourself to save me? You stupid idiot! Please don’t die! I beg you! Please! You cannot die!” Liu Xuanxin whimpered between sobs. Her tears were relentless.

For the first time in her life, she had actually experienced a stabbing pain in her heart.

Weeping uncontrollably, her heart aching so badly that she could not breathe!

“Hhh… I won’t be alive for long…” Chen Xiaobei raised his head slowly and said in an extremely weak voice, “Can you show me your face before I die?”

“No!” Liu Xuanxin refused. “If you die, I will kill myself! If you want to see my face, then you’ll have to wait for me in the afterlife!”

“Shimei! Don’t say stupid things like that!” The four women of Ancient Tomb panicked. “Sifu, look. Please advice Little Seven!”

Long Zishan shook her head and heaved a long sigh, “Can anyone tell me what is love; that people would die in it’s the name?”

Zing!

Just as she had finished speaking, Liu Xuanxin drew out the longsword that she carried with her, and a resolute look on her face, she dared anyone to advise her against her decision.

When they saw this, Long Zishan shook her head and sighed. The four women broke down into tears as Li Xiang, Six-Eared Macaque, and Xiangyu furrowed their brows, their eyes too red around the rims.

Of course, the Anti-Bei group standing from afar were overjoyed, wearing sly smiles on their faces while clapping and cheering in glee.

But!

Just when everyone thought that Chen Xiaobei was going to die and Liu Xuanxin was going to kill herself in the name of love, something completely unexpected happened!

“No, I was just kidding! It’s not real!” Chen Xiaobei grabbed the sword away from Liu Xuanxin, and patted her gently on the back, soothing her, “I’m fine! I’m completely fine! Don’t cry anymore! I don’t know what to do if you keep crying!”

“You’re fine?” Liu Xuanxin turned to look at Chen Xiaobei.

Color had returned to his face and he looked as good as new – he did not look dead at all.

Xiangyu and everyone else could only gape in amazement.

The people of Anti-Bei Alliance were now all staring vacantly at Chen Xiaobei. They had initially thought that Chen Xiaobei was going to die for sure. Who would have thought that he was completely fine?

They looked at the breathless Feng Aotian, and were even more flabbergasted.

The Murderous Qi had hit them both in the chest, but why were the consequences for Feng Aotian and Chen Xiaobei differ so greatly?

It was as if a ton of bricks had fallen on all of their heads.

Of course, the person who was most affected was the one who had her emotions rattled – Liu Xuanxin!

“You… You stinky bastard! You liar! How dare you trick me?! Get away from me! Don’t ever touch me again! Ever!”

Liu Xuanxin pushed Chen Xiaobei away, and sought refuge behind Long Zishan.

“I…” Chen Xiaobei wore a look of wide-eyed innocence and mumbled, “I just wanted to see your face… How would I know that our relationship has reached the stage where you would be willing to die for me? If I had known this, I would not have cracked this kind of joke.”

Chen Xiaobei clearly had no knowlege that Liu Xuanxin was the goddess that he could not stop thinking about. He was completely clueless about the fact that the both of them had already consummated their relationship in the most intimate way.

“You are a big fat liar! You will never be able to see my face! Not in this life!” Liu Xuanxin snarled like an angry wolf.

“I…” Chen Xiaobei looked to Long Zishan signalling for help.

“Don’t worry, faction leader Chen!” Long Zishan flashed him a smile. “Little Seven’s heart is already entirely yours. She will reconcile with you when her anger dissipates!”

“Sifu! What are you saying? Who’s going to reconcile with that liar?! I was never even conciliatory with him in the first place!” Liu Xuanxin huffed.

Chen Xiaobei breathed out a sigh of relief.

Women always said one thing but meant another.

“Xiaobei! What happened just now? How is it that the Murderous Qi did not affect you at all?” Xiangyu asked with urgency.

Hushed silence fell and ears were pricked when the question was being asked.

Chen Xiaobei grinned and looked at Liu Xuanxin tenderly. “It’s all thanks to my Goddess of Luck. If I had not ‘taken the bullet’ for her, I would not have found a way to deal with the Murderous Qi!”

“What way?”

Everyone’s eyes widened.

They all wanted to know the answer.
