Chapter 102 The Music Ends
Du Sulin and Xiao Qingzhu reached the top, disheveled, her clothes had been torn to shreds in that previous great battle, but at this moment neither of them paid attention to these things.
Fortunately, Du Sulin had set up a boundary, so at this moment, there were only two people on the top of Fangshan.
They have the joy of surviving a disaster and the happiness of being able to hold hands, so let them also indulge in this rare peaceful time.
The sun rises in the east, and the sky is dyed with a warm orange-gold color. The mountain breeze is cool and refreshing. Du Si Lin takes a deep breath, feeling the tranquility of this moment.
"Qing Zhu." Du Si Lin pulled Xiao Qing Zhu into his arms and called out softly.
"Hmm." Xiao Qingzhu responded with a smile, her eyes sparkling with amusement, and she snuggled into Du Siling's arms.
"If you don't come back, I'll find you," said Du Sulin, just as Dong Shuanghe had said before, even if she had to search the heavens and the earth, she would find Xiao Qingzhu.
Xiao Qingzhu grasped Du Siling's hand, her fingers interlocking with his as she spoke slowly: "I know, but to avoid making my fool suffer, I still came back obediently myself."
Du Sulin smiled and said that after all, she was still lucky. She met the right person at the right time. She lowered her head and kissed Xiao Qingzhu's forehead, feeling sweeter than a pot of honey in her heart.
Perhaps Duslin couldn't see it, but she knew that today's sunrise must be beautiful. Of course, the woman in her arms was even more beautiful.
The two had just walked to the entrance of the residential area when a flash of light passed between them, and Du Siling felt a sudden weight in her arms. Without thinking, she knew it was the little guy Du Qinglian.
"Qing Luan, if you eat any more, I won't be able to carry you!" Du Si Lin pretended to be exhausted and said with a worried tone.
The little guy pouted, looking very dissatisfied. She stretched out her hands to Xiao Qingzhu and said in a sweet voice: "Qingzhu Mama!"
Xiao Qingzhu helplessly hugged the little guy, and as soon as she took him in her arms, she also began to agree with Du Shilin's words. The little guy was indeed at an age where he needed to grow physically, and his appetite was much larger than that of ordinary children of the same age, seemingly a bit chubby.
But the little one didn't think so, she was the one being held, and her heart was filled with joy, and with a "mua" sound, she kissed Du Si Lin and Xiao Qing Zhu's faces.
"Woof! Woof!" Before long, Egg Tart also rushed over, but unfortunately, Egg Tart didn't get such good treatment. Du Si Lin and Xiao Qing Zhu's tacit understanding of a flash move made Egg Tart pounce on nothing.
The little guy weighs only about 30 pounds. The egg tart is different, it's already a full-grown dog, at least 70 or 80 pounds. If it pounces over, won't I just get knocked down?
"Qing Luan has come down, let's go home." Du Si Lin patted the little guy's head and said in a commanding tone.
The little guy rubbed against Xiao Qingzhu's chest for a while before getting down, holding Du Siling's left hand and Xiao Qingzhu's right hand, with the big egg-shaped dog wagging its tail on one side. "Let's go home!" Her soft voice was filled with joy.
After all, still a child, emotions are all written on his face, walking with a bounce.
As soon as the door opened, all he could hear was the crackling sound and various cheers. Although Du Siling couldn't see anything, he had already distinguished each person from these sounds.
"Qing Zhu!" Ye Huanxi was the first to come up and gave Xiao Qingzhu a hug. If it's said that Xiao Qingzhu endured so much suffering, she was the one who understood the most among this group of people. When she first learned of Xiao Qingzhu's death, her heart felt like it had been hollowed out, feeling extremely painful.
"Taiguang!" The second one naturally belonged to Fang Feng. She came up and punched Du Siling, scolding, "You two, do you know how to come back?"
Xiao Qing's face flushed with a shy smile, somewhat embarrassed. After all, her temperament was still dominated by warmth and quietness.
"Can we go clean up first?" By this time, Du Sulin suddenly remembered that he must be extremely disheveled himself and didn't need to look to know that Xiao Qingzhu was about the same. It's really unknown how two people who usually liked cleanliness could tolerate being so disheveled for such a long time.
"Hahaha——" Suddenly came several bursts of laughter.
In fact, these two people looked more and more wretched, with blood and mud mixed on their bodies, faces, and tattered clothes.
Du Sulin pouted and pulled Xiao Qingzhu back into the bedroom with a whoosh.
"A bunch of bastards kicking someone when they're down!" Duslin muttered under his breath, but there was a hint of amusement in his tone.
"Qing Zhu...?" Du Si Lin had just finished scolding when she realized something was off, because Xiao Qing Zhu's body suddenly fell to the ground. "Qing Zhu?" Her heart was filled with panic again, and she hastily called out.
"I'm here, Silin." Xiao Qingzhu's voice came from behind her.
Du Sulin couldn't see and didn't know that there were two identical Xiao Qingzhu by her side, one was lying in her arms with an icy body, while the other was the one who had just spoken.
"Si Lin, I won't be able to possess this body for too long. Don't worry, I'm still here." Xiao Qingzhu's voice echoed once again, releasing some heavenly aura that allowed Du Si Lin to sense her presence.
"We both lost our physical bodies, what's good about that." Du Slin sighed and said.
After the fusion of Du Sulin's Heavenly Path was destroyed, Du Sulin was just a soul. Xiao Qingzhu was even more formless. Although they could manifest their own appearance with their energy, for them who had possessed physical bodies since childhood, not having a physical body was like running naked.
"You forgot, you're actually very good at being a puppet." Xiao Qingzhu didn't mind these things, as long as she was by Du Siling's side, even if she didn't have a physical body, what did it matter?
"Ah-ha!" Du Sulin slapped her own forehead, "I can make two puppets!" How could she not have thought of that?!
"Then your body..." Du Sulin raised his head, his empty eyes gazing in the direction of Xiao Qingzhu's voice.
Xiao Qingzhu's body materialized, and her slender, lustrous palm waved gently over her body. "Let her dissipate from here."
As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Qingzhu's body turned into a string of soft lights that drifted away in all directions.
Du Sulin still felt a little reluctant in her heart, after all, that was Xiao Qingzhu's body. She could clearly feel the loss of that body bit by bit, feeling somewhat empty, but this emotion only lasted for a moment, because she knew that her Qingzhu was still there.
"Foolish girl, she's gone to help me do what I should be doing, so don't feel down." Xiao Qingzhu comforted softly, somehow seeing through Du Siling's thoughts.
Du Sulin nodded and quickly made two simple paper puppets for Xiao Qingzhu and herself to temporarily possess.
After both of them had their real bodies, Du Sulin's heart was much more at ease. After a simple cleanup, the two went downstairs.
Almost everyone has doubts in their heart, and so did Du Sulin and Xiao Qingzhu.
No sooner had they sat down than Ding Yile, the fastest talker, couldn't help but exclaim: "Qingzhu sister, wasn't it said that you were sacrificed? How can... Ah!"
Ding Yile's words were cut off before he could finish, as Jing Jiling slapped him on the head with a palm, "You're so quick-witted!" I hadn't even asked yet, but she added in her heart, "Just you wait!"
Ding Yile and Jing Jie are indeed siblings, with surprisingly similar personalities, but they also fight the most fiercely.
Du Sulin knew that only by resolving the doubts of this group of people in front of him could he get them to resolve his own doubts, so for now he roughly explained the ins and outs of what had happened between him and Xiao Qing.
Everyone was amazed and surprised again, especially Ding Yile, who looked up and down at Xiao Qingzhu several times, only to be slapped by Jingji.
"It's a cycle of cause and effect. You've sown good causes, Qing Zhu, that's why you have today's outcome." Du Kongyang nodded his head, sighing involuntarily.
By her side, sat a charming and alluring woman, but a pair of eyes were clear and tight, not Flower Shore who else could it be. At this time, Flower Shore was also flashing a pair of crystal-like eyes, secretly sizing up Xiao Qingzhu and Du Siling several times.
"Qingzhu sister, you've become a heavenly way, can't Taitang sister's eyes be cured?" To be honest, it wasn't just Ding Yile who felt this way, everyone who saw Du Siling's empty eye sockets couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
But actually, Xiao Qingzhu is the one who most wants Du Siling's eyes to recover.
"Si Lin's eyes, once the embodiment of the Heavenly Way, she destroyed the Heavenly Way, so..." Xiao Qingzhu said, lowering her head, "I originally wanted to draw a gourd in the same way, separate out a part of the Heavenly Way and let her merge again, but..."
Du Sulin grasped Xiao Qingzhu's hand and said calmly, "I may have lost my sight, but that doesn't mean I've lost my insight. Now, like this, I'm very satisfied! And I haven't even thanked Aunt Hua for taking care of Qingzhu yet." Just as Du Sulin said, although she had lost her eyesight, her heart was clearer than a mirror, and she could naturally feel the gaze coming from Aunt Hua's side.
Hua'an's expression changed several times as soon as she heard this title, "Last time I forgot to remind you, don't call me Auntie, it reveals my age!" Her voice was as melodious as heavenly music, yet it also carried a hint of mischievousness.
It turns out that Auntie liked this type... Du Shilin's thoughts also turned quickly several times. In her impression, her aunt Du Kongyang had always been calm and composed, with a dignified demeanor, so when she knew about Hua'an, she thought Hua'an was probably a gentle and weak woman. Now it seems that she was wrong, not just off the mark. In this world, the principle of one thing overcoming another is more reliable.
"That......" Du Sulin thought for a long time, but couldn't think of what title to give to Hua An, after all, her generation was indeed one generation older than hers.
"You people from the Du family are good, but you have too many rules. Even little ones have to call me Auntie, it hurts my heart..." Hua'an said with a look of grievance on her face, but immediately her expression changed again, "If possible, please call me Hua Hua."
……
Du Kongyang massaged her temples, even she didn't know why she was so helpless in front of this eccentric woman. In her presence, her usual composure would shatter at any moment. But perhaps only someone as pure and simple as this could have such a clear voice and heart. Thinking this, Du Kongyang's mouth involuntarily curved into an arc, probably without even realizing it herself.
"Hua... Hua." Duslin paused for a moment, although it was quite smooth, but still felt a bit strange calling her that for the first time.
Xiao Qingzhu smiled and whispered something in her ear, and she also smiled. "Thank you Huahua for taking care of Qingzhu for me." The second time, she called out much more smoothly.
"Aunt smiled." This was what Xiao Qingzhu said in her ear.
"Come to think of it, you all seemed to know that Qing Zhu was fine from early on?" Du Si Lin finally asked the question that had been on his mind.
The little guy proudly puffed out her small, flat chest, but immediately she thought of her mother not being able to see, so she took a few short steps and squeezed into Du Si Lin's arms, sitting obediently on her lap.
"It's what I know!" she said with pride.
"Who are you?" Xiao Qingzhu also looked at the little guy with some incredulity, she was the Heavenly Path, how could the little guy know about her life and death?
"Qing Luan can sense the auras of both of you, so we knew," Fengfeng said gruffly. "You two are quite carefree, finishing your fight and leaving with a flourish, leaving us to clean up the remaining zombies and open the seal." Although there was nothing much to do in the end, they just disposed of the remaining zombies and opened the seal. This place had been destroyed too badly, and an eerie altar had been built, which would surely cause a huge stir in society if discovered. Fortunately, Chen Zhou Yun said that the government would use all its power to cover up the incident, and it was believed that it would slowly fade from people's memories soon.
All the zombies, except for Gao Sheng and Shi Tou, were eliminated. As for Gao Sheng and Shi Tou, they vowed not to drink human blood again, and that was it.
Peng Haotian is dead. Peng Luofei decides to continue her unfinished journey with Peng Luo, and leaves no words for Xiao Qingzhu.
As for Lan Er, after her immortal consciousness and immortal aura were stripped away, her soul absorbed a large amount of soul power. Tai Yang Zi returned not long after Du Si Lin left, and with his help, she once again combined her immortal consciousness and aura, instantly becoming a top-notch expert. Tai Yang Zi forcibly took her back to the underworld, but I reckon he's going to start regretting it soon.
"You two can now be said to have lived as long as heaven and earth, what plans do you have for the future?" Du Kongyang asked, and there was no longer any mention of the Yin Yang Tian Shi Du family, this responsibility could finally be put down. And what she asked was not just Du Silin and Xiao Qingzhu, but also others sitting here.
"I and Qingzhu plan to open a coffee shop, enjoy a few years of leisure time before talking about other things." On this point, Dusilin and Xiaoqingzhu had already reached a high degree of tacit understanding, but they had been arguing for a long time about the coffee shop and tea house.
"What a coincidence, I've already agreed with Fangfeng to open a medical clinic and a dessert shop! Let's be neighbors!" Jingji suddenly jumped up excitedly. "Actually..." Jingji smiled mischievously, "If we get tired of this life, we can seal our memories and reincarnate, live another life, right?"
"Is that okay?!" Ding Yile's eyes widened, he had previously been somewhat envious of Jing Jie and the others' infinite lifespan, but didn't expect that someone with an infinite lifespan would already be talking about being tired of living.
"This isn't a bad idea," Xiao Qingzhu said with a thoughtful expression, "We few who don't have physical bodies can reincarnate, and then we'll have new physical bodies. Maybe Si Lin's eyes will regain their sight..." She had always been someone who made up her mind quickly, and after thinking of this plan, she decided to take some time to go discuss it with the Underworld. After all, she had revived so many people who had died unjustly, which also helped the Underworld solve the problem of having too many vengeful spirits. Moreover, as long as it didn't disrupt the normal functioning of the human world, there shouldn't be any issues.
Xiao Qingzhu spoke out his mind, and Jingji's thoughts became even more lively.
"However, the Nine-colored Snake might be a bit of trouble," thought Xiao Qingzhu. "You are a nine-colored snake demon with a demonic body, entering reincarnation won't be difficult, but what about your physical body? A nine-colored snake without a demon spirit in the outside world is a treasure."
Can't help but say, these few people's brains are really too big, they can think of such a way, Du Kongyang is also helpless. "I can help Jing Jie practice her demon body into a magic treasure, so that when she reincarnates, she can transform into a birthmark and be born with it." As a first-rate all-around figure, Du Kongyang helped them solve the problem.
And so a way of life that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to think about was created by them.
"Xī jiě, what plans do you and Seventeen have?" Xiao Qingzhu asked, noticing the two who had been in a lazy state on the side.
Ye Xun smiled and glanced at Dong Shuanghe, who was meditating with his eyes closed beside him. "My company has been fully handed over to the professional management team," he said. "With the remaining time I have, I just want to travel around the world with Xiao He and enjoy the scenery."
She and Dong Shuanghe originally did not plan to get involved in this struggle, but unexpectedly met Xiao Qingzhu. Both of them are simple and casual people, not seeking a long life, just wanting to cherish the remaining years.
"Then you're leaving soon?" As soon as he heard that they were going to part ways, Ding Yile was the first one to be unhappy.
"Uh-huh." Ye Xun nodded, "Both I and Xiao He are happy to have met you all."
"Seventeen, are you reluctant to part with me so you keep pretending to be dead?" Du Siling couldn't help but tease Dong Shuanghe on the side.
Dong Shuanghe suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, throwing a punch at Du Siling, "Who can't bear to part with you!"
Just like their first meeting, they started fighting again, causing everyone to laugh and feel helpless.
……
The story has almost come to an end here, but this is only the end of their extraordinary and exciting life, while their warm and peaceful life has just begun, and their sweet memories will never end.
