On a hanger in the corner of the bedroom hung a bright red wedding suit for men embroidered with dragons and phoenixes. The patterns on the suit were embroidered with gold thread, and there was a faint glimmer on the satin. The beads and rings that were embellished looked like jade products, which was both high-quality and gorgeous.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. Let me help you dress up." The paper maid said to Xia Qi who was sitting quietly beside her.
Xia Qi was holding his chin in his hand, thinking. Hearing this, he slowly came back to his senses and said solemnly, "I know. You can go out first."
"Oh." The paper maid was not very intelligent. After hearing Xia Qi's order, she walked out obediently.
Xia Qi came to the wedding dress, touched the gorgeous wedding dress, and sighed silently.
After a while, he put on his wedding dress and opened the door.
"Surprise!"
After pushing open the door, countless red pieces of paper and petals flew towards him. Then, there were several "bang bang bang" sounds, and several fireworks exploded above his head, sprinkling a pile of glittering paper pieces on his head.
Xia Qi wiped the paper off his face, looked at the group of people standing by the door in silence, and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Of course I'm celebrating for you!" Sister Hong threw the fireworks in her hand back and said with a smile, "Today is my first time as a bridesmaid. I'm so nervous."
She was wearing a bright red dress today with a red flower in her hair. Xia Qi looked at her outfit and thought, are you sure you are a bridesmaid and not a matchmaker
Sister Hong is just short of having a mole painted on her face.
After Sister Hong finished speaking, Xiaoyu nervously touched the basket on her wrist and said, "Mom, what should the flower girl do?"
"You don't have to do anything, just follow them and scatter flowers." Sister Hong looked at Xiaoyu, her eyes full of maternal love.
Xia Qi shook his head helplessly and closed the door behind him.
After walking out of the bedroom, Xia Qi raised his head and glanced at the sun and the moon in the sky.
As he expected, the light of the sun and the moon was dimmer today. The edges of the two bright lights became blurred and almost blended into the night.
Xia Qi had a bad feeling in his heart. No wonder Emperor Ye planned to hold the wedding ceremony today.
Because there was a wedding going on today, big red lanterns were hung everywhere inside and outside the palace, and every household also put in all their effort to take out all the lights they had and hang them up.
The power of the masses is great. The lights on the ground in the entire city that never sleeps are as bright as fire dragons. Even in the sky, there are countless sky lanterns flying, forming a galaxy belt in the night sky.
Xia Qi led Sister Hong and Xiao Yu to the palace gate. When they were not far from the Golden Arch, he asked, "Are you all ready?"
"Everyone in the city will come here tonight." Sister Hong said in a low voice.
She had a joyful expression just now, but when Xia Qi mentioned the clearance, her face became a little nervous again: "The decisive battle will be tonight, and we will decide the outcome with the Tianji Master in one fell swoop."
Xia Qi nodded, his eyes solemn. He already knew the way to pass the level, and now Tianjizhe should be more panicked than him.
His only worry was that Tianji would become desperate and do something desperate.
When the two arrived at the Golden Arches on the right, Sister Hong stopped and asked hesitantly, "What about you? Are you ready?"
Xia Qi paused.
He understood what Sister Hong meant.
Sister Hong was not asking him if he was ready to clear the dungeon, but rather if he was ready to accept the ending of the dungeon.
"I'm ready." Looking at the tall and closed palace gate in front of him, Xia Qi pursed his lips. He would not give up Ye Di and his grandmother until the last moment.
unless…
While Xia Qi was thinking, Sister Hong had ordered someone to open the archway. The moment the door opened, Xia Qi was instantly surrounded by countless red pieces of paper, and was pulled into the sea of cheers from the people.
"Ah ah!" The crowd standing outside Sanlian Bridge screamed in the direction of Xia Qi.
"Goddess of the Moon!" The women clenched their fists tightly, tears streaming down their faces with excitement.
"Oh my God, the Night Emperor has been sleeping for a thousand years, and he finally got married!" This is the sympathy voice of the men for the Night Emperor who has been single for a thousand years.
Xia Qi gritted his teeth and walked out of the archway.
There was a soft red carpet outside the archway. The moment he walked out, he heard the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers. When he came to the Sanlian Bridge, not far away, several beautiful fireworks suddenly exploded in the sky dozens of meters high. These fireworks were in the shape of white and green jasmine flowers, and they kept blooming in the night, scattering beautiful petals one after another.
Xia Qi looked at the jasmine flowers high in the sky, his eyes slightly moist.
This is... Grandma's favorite jasmine.
Xia Qi held back the tears in his eyes, slowly turned around and looked at the man opposite him.
Ye Di came out from the archway on the left, and when Xia Qi came out from the archway on the right, Ye Di was already waiting for him on the left.
The tall man was also wearing the same couple's wedding suit as him, but the chic temperament he wore was different from that of Ye Di and Xia Qi. The bright red suit made him look tall and majestic, and the wedding suit could not conceal his innate nobility.
His sword-like eyebrows seemed to be drawn with a fine brush, and when he looked at Xia Qi, his pair of lacquer-like eyes were particularly deep.
"Come, come to my side." Ye Di stood opposite him and stretched out his hand to him.
Xia Qi looked into his eyes, walked up to him step by step, stretched out his hand, and interlocked his fingers with his.
The moment the two held hands, Xia Qi suddenly saw a faint light flash near the Sanlian Bridge.
The beam of light slowly descended from mid-air and finally landed on the ground. Finally, the beam of light condensed into a short, hunchbacked old woman.
The old woman was still wearing the green cotton jacket embroidered with jasmine flowers, a black hat on her head, and a brown cloth around her neck.
What was different from the Meng Po we had seen before was that the old woman's left hand had become very strong. She held her left hand with her right hand, and looked very tired.
However, today is Xia Qi's big day. Because she was too happy, the wrinkles on her face were all wrinkled into a ball, and she looked at Xia Qi with eyes full of familiar kindness.
From the moment he saw his grandmother, Xia Qi's tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Come." Ye Di tightened Xia Qi's hand, pulled him to his grandmother, and shouted, "Grandma, I brought Xia Qi here."
"Okay, okay." The grandmother's smile got bigger, and her eyes were watery as she looked at the two of them. She choked up and said, "I'm so happy to see Qi Baobao getting married."
Looking at his grandmother's familiar face, Xia Qi knelt down directly.
He recognized the brown scarf around his grandmother's neck as the face covering that had been covering her dead face.
The black hat with cloud pattern on grandma's head was put on by him personally.
Xia Qi put his arm around her shoulders, buried his head in her neck, and burst into tears.
"Grandma... I miss you so much."
Thinking of every Laba Festival, he would cry over the porridge and couldn't drink a single sip.
He didn’t know why before, but now he remembered it, because that day was his grandmother’s death anniversary.
Grandma raised her intact right hand, touched his head with some difficulty, and said gently: "Silly child, today is your big day, don't cry, grandma is happy for you."
Xia Qi raised his head with tears on his face, touched his grandmother's thickened left arm, and asked with a sob: "Grandma, your arm... still hurts?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Grandma looked down at him with a look of relief in her eyes, "Grandma doesn't feel any pain anymore."
Hearing this, Xia Qi's tears burst out like a dam breaking. Grandma no longer felt pain because she had passed away from illness and could no longer feel pain.
Xia Qi hugged his grandmother with his right hand and held Ye Di's hand tightly with his left hand.
At this moment, he felt his heart was filled.
He looked at his grandmother and the crowd behind her, and finally understood the significance of the city that never sleeps.
The city that never sleeps is a city built by the wishes of the deceased.
All the deceased who have wishes will stay here, waiting for the arrival of the person who will bear their wishes. Here, the bad guys will be judged, and the good guys will see their deceased relatives and see them one last time.
Grandma's wish is to see Xia Qi get married, so Xia Qi will meet Grandma in the Never-Sleeping City dungeon.
After Meng Po was killed by the formation of the Tianjizhe, Ye Di reminded Xia Qi that grandma could still come back. From then on, Xia Qi guessed that grandma was born due to her wish.
As long as he fulfills grandma's wish, grandma will reappear.
Xia Qi held his grandmother in one hand and Ye Di in the other and slowly stood up.
"The ceremony isn't over yet, let's continue." Xia Qi tried hard to keep himself steady.
"Okay." Ye Di looked at him gently, pulled him, and continued walking towards the front of the red carpet.
He held his hand tightly, as if he had always been like this, silently accompanying him.
Grandma sat in the high seat. Xia Qi and Ye Di straightened their expressions and each offered her a cup of tea.
Grandma looked at the two of them with a smile on her face and drank both cups of tea. After finishing them, she kept smiling at the two of them who looked so well matched, her mouth never closing.
Ding Dong! The progress of the side quest "Meng Po's Ideal" is +50%! The total progress of the side quests is 100%.
Ding Dong! The conversion value of the Light Extinguisher: +100, the total conversion value: 400.
In an instant, the completion of Xia Qi's side quest raised the Light Extinguisher's conversion value to 400. Compared with the Tianjizhe who was still hovering around 315, even if the copy was immediately ended and settled, the Light Extinguisher could still be judged as the winner of the game.
After hearing the degree value ring, Xia Qi clenched his fists and looked at his grandmother nervously, fearing that she would disappear like the other mission targets.
However, grandma did not disappear. She was sitting safely on the chair on the platform.
Grandma solemnly held Ye Di's hand and muttered, "Good boy, the happiness of my baby Qi for the rest of his life will be entirely in your hands..."
Xia Qi: “…”
The grandmother in front of him was Xia Qi's biological grandmother. Facing the instructions of Xia Qi's only relative, Ye Di wanted to cut out his heart for his grandmother to see. He nodded his head like a money counting machine and said seriously: "Grandma, I will give my heart to him."
Grandma was stunned for a moment. Ye Di’s words were so heavy that she didn’t know what to say.
Grandma then nodded and said, "You are a good child. I will feel relieved."
Hearing this, Xia Qi looked at Ye Di with strange eyes.
Sister Hong, as the bridesmaid, followed behind Xia Qi the entire time. After listening to the conversation between Xia Qi and his grandmother, her eyes never left Xiaoyu, who was playing the role of the flower girl, and she almost tripped while walking.
"Sister Hong, are you okay?" Xia Qi turned around and helped Sister Hong calmly.
"Xiao Yu... Xiao Yu she..."
Sister Hong finally couldn't help herself and burst into tears.
"Wuwuwu." Sister Hong's face was covered with tears and snot. Xia Qi had never seen her so miserable.
Just as Sister Hong was crying her heart out, a yellow arrow suddenly flew from the side. Xia Qi pulled Sister Hong to the side and avoided the attack of the yellow arrow.
"The Heavenly Secreters are coming!"
As expected, when Tianji arrived, his momentum was very huge. A black wind was seen carrying countless talismans and rolling towards the crowd in the square.
Judging from the grand gesture of the Tianji people, they want to use the wedding as an opportunity to catch all the zombies in one fell swoop in exchange for salvation points.
Xia Qi and Sister Hong raised their heads and looked coldly at the black whirlwind in the sky.
The moment of decisive battle has finally arrived.
Just as the two took out their props and prepared to go all out, a person appeared above the black wind scroll. A small golden ball was hanging above the person's head, and he was rushing towards them.
Xia Qi looked carefully and found that the person hanging in the sky was Cha Gong.
Sister Hong wiped her face and was ready to fight at any time.
"Xia Qi, how can you get married here!" Cha Gong looked at Xia Qi and Ye Di with resentment, as if to say, "I am your ex-boyfriend and I am here to ruin the wedding."
Sister Hong, who was about to start a fight, was stunned for a moment. She couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "How come he is also in love?"
Xia Qi: “…”
So, who is the other person
Without waiting for Xia Qi to speak, Sister Hong couldn't stand Cha Gong's nagging anymore and rushed out directly swinging the Thunder and Fire Whip.
When Cha Gong arrived riding the black whirlwind, the crowd of zombies scattered, but they dispersed in an orderly manner without any chaos.
Xia Qi looked at them carefully and found that everyone looked calm, as if someone was directing them.
Since there was no stampede in the square, no zombies were affected by the black wind.
Looking at the lined-up crowd, Xia Qi suddenly had an idea and turned to look at Ye Di.
Ye Di's lacquer-like eyes turned red, and strange lines began to appear on his face. He was facing the direction of the square, muttering something.
Xia Qi suddenly realized that it was Ye Di who was controlling everyone to retreat.
Sister Hong had already rushed to the front of the black wind. I don't know what method she used, but she jumped directly from her original position to a high place, swung her lightning whip, and lashed it hard at Cha Gong's face.
When the whip was about to hit Cha Gong's face, the scarred man suddenly appeared from behind Cha Gong. He grabbed Sister Hong's whip with one hand and sneered, "You bitch, you're really asking for a beating!"
After saying that, he swung his powerful fist and smashed it down at Sister Hong.
After Cha Gong escaped from Sister Hong's whip, he controlled the wind to attack Xia Qi with a gloomy face.
Xia Qi looked up at him and took out the trident from the system backpack.
Taking this opportunity, he wanted to try out the power of the level 1 trident.
Item name: Trident (bound).
Effect: Listen, the sound of the sea crying! A little sadness has great power, your tears can break the heart of the Sea King. As long as you cry, the Sea King will send marine creatures to avenge you.
Level: lv1.
Other notes: You are Aquaman's man! Please note that you are not Aquaman, but Aquaman's man!
The tears on Xia Qi's face had not yet dried. He raised the trident and forced a cry from his throat.
“Woo.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light appeared from the tip of the trident.
Feeling the vibration of the trident, Xia Qi swung the beam and threw it in the direction of Cha Gong.
"boom!"
After the beam of light fell not far away, a loud bang was heard. Then, in the countless dust, a huge figure suddenly fell from under Cha Gong's black whirlwind, and the figure smashed a deep pit on the ground on the spot.
After a while, a big black bald head gradually emerged from the pit.
Xia Qi was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that using the trident would summon monsters like shrimp soldiers and crab generals, but he didn't expect that Aquaman would be so powerful and send him an octopus!
Octopus is the NPC whose combat power is second only to the Sea King in the Blue Sea Shark Pearl copy. Although Octopus has suffered several losses at the hands of Xia Qi, Xia Qi has never been able to kill him.
"Woo woo woo, why am I here?" The familiar voice of the octopus rang out, and he waved his seven tentacles and climbed out of the pit with a grunt.
After the octopus stood firm, he saw Xia Qi holding a trident in the distance and was stunned. He let out a perverted scream from his throat: "Xia Qi, why is it you?"
Seeing the critical situation, Xia Qi had no time to reminisce with Octopus. He raised his hand, pointed at Cha Gong and Scar Man on Black Whirlwind and shouted, "Catch them both, or I'll give you a bad review!"
When the octopus heard the word "bad review", his whole body trembled.
Xia Qi is the man of the new Sea King, and his orders are of vital importance to him. If he fails to complete the task as required, it is very likely that he will be killed on the spot by the Sea King as soon as he returns to the Blue Sea Mermaid Pearl copy.
The octopus was frightened again. He screamed "Awooo" and waved his tentacles towards Cha Gong and the scarred man.
"ah!"
Cha Gong was swept away by the terrifying tentacles as thick as pillars and fell directly from the Black Tornado.
The scarred man was even more miserable than him. He was caught between Sister Hong and the octopus, and was knocked to the ground by the tentacles. If it weren't for his good physical fitness, he would have been beaten to death by the octopus.
Originally, they thought they could take advantage of the newly developed mobile formation, but Xia Qi suddenly summoned an NPC whose combat power was comparable to that of a boss, and killed all of them instantly.
In a blink of an eye, the situation between the two sides was reversed instantly. Cha Gong and the scarred man were hit by the octopus's terrifying tentacles and vomited blood. Even the person who was controlling the formation was pulled out by the octopus.
After cleaning up the three people, the octopus handed them to Xia Qi like a treasure. He said in a flattering manner: "Dear, give a five-star praise."
"Okay." Xia Qi agreed very generously.
Looking at the trident in Xia Qi's hand, Cha Gong was stunned and murmured: "How come you... still have an S-level item..."
Originally, he thought that Xia Qi only had a powerful magic wand, so he and the scarred man specially wore a set of equipment and came here. Unexpectedly, Xia Qi got another S-level item!
What's even more terrifying is that this S-level item can also summon NPCs
Is this fucking cheating
Just when Xia Qi was about to deal with Cha Gong and the others, Sister Hong suddenly shouted, "Xia Qi! Be careful!"
Feeling a gust of wind blowing beside him, as if someone was rushing towards him, Xia Qi quickly dodged to the side and just passed by the finance man holding a knife.
The finance man had somehow reached the vicinity of the Sanlian Bridge. Just as Xia Qi raised the trident and prepared to attack, the finance man grinned, turned a corner, and ran towards the scarred man.
After arriving next to the scarred man, the finance man raised the knife without hesitation and stabbed the scarred man in the stomach.
"ah!"
A bloody hole instantly appeared in the scarred man's stomach. Cha Gong was immediately horrified and shouted at the finance man: "Didn't we reach an agreement? What are you doing?"
"Idiot, it's just a bottle of recovery potion, and you want to bribe me? By the way, the oath spell you cast on me won't work." The financial man is a shrewd old liar. He can not only deceive people, but even ghosts.
He is not a silly newbie. He knows that passing the level is more important than working for others. He still has to rely on his teammates to pass the level. How could he follow Cha Gong's instructions and attack Xia Qi and Sister Hong.
Cha Gong glared at the finance man, "Why doesn't the oath spell work on you? Do you have a hidden attribute?"
"That's right." The finance man nodded and laughed frivolously, "Immune to the oath attribute."
Because his deception skills are so advanced, he gains hidden attributes as soon as he enters the game.
As he deceived more and more people, his attributes became stronger and stronger. After Cha Gong gave him the "Regeneration Fluid", he planned to use the Oath Spell to control him to kill Xia Qi. Unfortunately, due to his hidden attributes, Cha Gong's Oath Spell had no effect on him at all.
Cha Gong didn't expect to be defeated by Xia Qi's teammates again. Looking at the disgusting face of the financial man, Cha Gong laughed in anger: "What I gave you is not a recovery potion, but a regeneration fluid."
"What is Regeneration Fluid?" Since the financial man has been hanging out in the intermediate field and has just been upgraded to a high-level player, he still doesn't know what the high-level item Regeneration Fluid is.
"Just touch your legs yourself." Cha Gong looked at him with a sneer.
After he reminded him, the finance man suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his legs. He took two steps forward, and perhaps it was a psychological effect, his legs suddenly became weak, and then he sat down on the ground with weak legs.
It’s over, he was actually deceived!
The finance man was so angry that his face turned red, and he shouted at Cha Gong: "You scumbag, you actually lied to me! I'm going to kill you!"
"You are the liar!" Cha Gong cursed back.
The two swindlers cursed at each other more and more fiercely, and neither of them was willing to give in. For a while, there was no winner.
There is a 99% chance of failure in detecting the Tianji camp, and the instance is about to end...
After this system prompt sounded, the light of the sun and moon in the night sky suddenly dimmed.
Suddenly, countless darkness came from all directions, covering the entire city that never sleeps, leaving only a few scattered lanterns glowing in the night.
Xia Qi ignored the quarreling two people and ran directly to Ye Di, and asked nervously: "Is the Never-Sleeping City...about to collapse?"
Ye Di looked at him with reluctant eyes and nodded slowly: "Moon God, they are all handed over to you."
The "they" that Ye Di was referring to were the crowd of zombies standing in the square.
Xia Qi took out the glowing Moon Goddess Lamp from his backpack, his heart filled with pity.
Xia Qi pursed his lips and asked again: "Is this your wish?"
"My wish is you." Ye Di stretched out his hand and covered his left hand with his big hand.
When he came, Ye Di's wish came true.
Now that the wish has come true, the city that never sleeps built on his foundation has lost the support of the wish, and the city that never sleeps will be governed by the laws.
The Moon Goddess Lamp continued to grow larger in Xia Qi's hands. Finally, after the Moon Goddess Lamp returned to its original size, it slowly floated to the Sanlian Bridge.
After the Sanlian Bridge was illuminated by the Luna Lamp, three words slowly appeared on the bricks and stones of the corridor on the bridge:
Naihe Bridge.
After seeing the Luna Lamp, the zombie crowd gathered around the bridge. They looked at the Naihe Bridge in silence with calm expressions, as if they had already expected this ending.
"Why, why?" Looking at the detached look on the crowd, Xia Qi asked the question in his mind.
"Their wish is my wish." Ye Di squeezed his palm, his voice gentler than the moonlight.
After he fell asleep in the underground ancient tomb, also known as the City That Never Sleeps, he was worried that his people might meet with misfortune, so he built a paradise for the innocent and pitiful deceased.
The deceased lived carefree lives in the city that never sleeps for many years. In the end, they had long forgotten where they came from and didn't know where to go.
Later, people's wishes gradually changed and became the wishes of the Night Emperor.
Now that Ye Di's wish has come true, they have no regrets.
Looking at Ye Di's familiar profile, Xia Qi was stunned for a moment.
He wondered, was Ye Di's wish really to see him
The Naihe Bridge under the Moon Goddess Lamp flickered with a faint fluorescence. The crowd lined up and walked calmly onto the bridge one after another. When they reached the end of the bridge, they turned into afterimages and finally disappeared at the end of the bridge.
Ding Dong! The conversion value of the Light Extinguisher: +100, the total conversion value: 500.
Ding Dong! The conversion value of the Light Extinguisher: +100, the total conversion value: 600.
Ding Dong! The conversion value of the Light Extinguisher: +100, the total conversion value: 700.
…
As the crowd gradually disappeared at the bridge head, the reminder sound in his ear was like a critical hit, adding an insurmountable value of 10,000 to the person who extinguished the light.
Listening to the noise in his ears, Cha Gong's expression became more and more ugly.
The one who knew the secret finally lost.
"It turns out that the Heaven's Secret Man and the Light Extinguisher were both sent by the laws. I misunderstood. I give up. Hahaha..." Cha Gong laughed so hard that tears streamed down his face.
Mr. Lin asked him to kill Xia Qi, but not only did he fail, he lost the game again.
Xia Qi looked at Cha Gong who was laughing crazily and said coldly: "The reason why you lost the game is because you were being played by the game and did not understand the meaning of the game at all."
The Divine Master and the Light Extinguisher may sound like a competition between two hostile camps, but in fact, the mission objectives of both sides are the same, which is to transform everything in the City That Never Sleeps according to the power of the law.
This is because the world does not need a city that never sleeps. A city that never sleeps shelters the dead, which violates the normal laws of nature.
Those who have the secret of the game think that they can win the game just by killing, but they don't know that the game tells them from the beginning that they can only win the game by "conversion".
Hearing this, Cha Gong looked at Xia Qi with a pale face.
More and more people disappeared on the bridge, and finally only the financial man's family, Xiaoyu and grandma were left.
The zombie brother walked up to the bridge first. He smiled at Xia Qi and Sister Hong and said sincerely, "Thank you."
Their family was defrauded of all their wealth by the financial man, which resulted in him having no money to treat his illness and dying in bed.
In fact, he didn't care about letting the financial man die, but wanted to see the financial man being tortured. Unexpectedly, Xia Qi helped him realize his wish, letting the financial man be deceived by Cha Gong, and also making the financial man crippled in two legs and one hand. Thinking of the miserable life of the financial man in the future, the zombie boy was satisfied and willing to be saved.
After the zombie boy and his family disappeared over the bridge, Sister Hong suddenly became nervous.
"Xiao Yu!" Sister Hong knelt on the ground, hugging Xiao Yu tightly. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she said incoherently, "Xia Qi, let's not convert her, okay?"
Xia Qi frowned and said regretfully: "Sister Hong... You know, even if Xiaoyu hadn't been converted, she would have disappeared along with the Never-Sleeping City."
"Ah!" Sister Hong burst into a shrill scream, "I want my daughter! I won't leave even if I die!"
"Mom, Xiaoyu is really happy to see you again." Xiaoyu touched Sister Hong's hair and slowly smiled, "Xiaoyu's wish has been fulfilled as long as she can see mom."
"No! Mom won't let you disappear! I won't leave!" Sister Hong held Xiaoyu tightly and refused to let go, crying her heart out.
However, her screams did not stop the collapse of the City That Never Sleeps. The lights in the distance became dimmer and dimmer, and the endless darkness was like a dense net, attacking the square outside the palace.
Xia Qi could even feel the cold wind blowing from far away. He smelled the scent of fresh air from the wind. This wind did not seem to belong to the underground city that never sleeps.
He doesn't have much time left.
Xia Qi gritted his teeth and came to his grandmother.
Grandma seemed to have known Xia Qi's choice for a long time. She looked at Xia Qi with a smile and said, "Grandma's baby Qi has grown up."
"Grandma, you used to hold my hand when I walked before, but this time... let me hold your hand." Xia Qi said softly, looking at his grandmother reluctantly.
Grandma nodded quietly and handed her right hand to Xia Qi.
Xia Qi held his grandmother's hand, and before he could reach out to pull Ye Di, Ye Di had already held his hand.
"I'll accompany you." He turned his head to look at him, his eyes shining.
"good."
Xia Qi held his grandmother in one hand and Ye Di in the other, and the three of them walked side by side towards the Naihe Bridge.
When they reached the end of the bridge, Ye Di suddenly stopped. He grabbed Xia Qi's hand, pressed it to his heart, and said, "Moon Goddess, I promised your grandmother that I would give my heart to you."
"You..." Xia Qi was about to refuse, but Ye Di pressed his hand very forcefully and pressed it against the gap in his heart.
After Xia Qi's hand entered his chest, he touched a hot object. The feeling this object gave him was very similar to the Moon Goddess Lamp.
After guessing what this thing was, Xia Qi's face changed and his right hand began to tremble.
"Take it out." Ye Di lowered his head and encouraged him with a smile.
“… No.” The familiar feeling of despair came over him again. Once the Sun God Lamp was taken out, the entire Never-Sleeping City would truly collapse, and the Night Emperor would disappear along with the Never-Sleeping City.
"Don't be afraid." Ye Di put his hand on Xia Qi's face and looked at him tenderly, "I said that I would give my heart to you."
Seeing that the darkness had already rolled to the edge of the Naihe Bridge, Sister Hong was crying and holding Xiaoyu as they retreated back to the bridge. Xia Qi looked at the endless darkness around him and felt a chill in his heart.
Ye Di anxiously grabbed his hand and pressed it towards the gap again, which made Xia Qi's hand sink deeper, and his palm had already touched the Sun God Lamp.
Xia Qi didn't dare to hold the Sun God Lamp at all. Unexpectedly, at this time, Ye Di grabbed his wrist again and pulled his hand away.
Unfortunately, the Sun God Lamp seemed to be stuck in Xia Qi's hand. No matter how reluctant Xia Qi was, the Sun God Lamp was pulled out along with his hand.
The moment the Sun God Lamp was taken out, the blood color gradually faded from Ye Di's face, and purple spots gradually appeared on his face. He began to transform into a corpse like the other zombies.
Seeing his eyes gradually losing focus, Xia Qi couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and he loudly asked the biggest question in his mind: "Who are you?"
Darkness had already climbed up the Naihe Bridge. Only two lamps, the Moon Goddess Lamp and the Sun Goddess Lamp, were left on the entire Naihe Bridge, emitting faint light. The Moon Goddess Lamp slowly floated towards the Night Emperor.
Ye Di did not answer Xia Qi's words. He held the Moon Goddess Lamp belonging to Xia Qi in one hand and picked up the short grandmother on the ground with the other hand. She looked into his eyes with a smile and slowly retreated to the end of the bridge.
Grandma curled up in Ye Di's arms and said to Xia Qi with a smile: "Qi baby, grandma loves you."
"No!!!"
Watching his lover and relatives torn to pieces at the end of the bridge, Xia Qi rushed forward frantically. He stretched out his hand, trying to grab their clothes, but the darkness swept through too quickly. Before Ye Di and his grandmother disappeared completely, Xia Qi's eyes went dark.
"I love you too."
The familiar voice of Ye Di disappeared in the cold wind.
In the darkness, Xia Qi fell to the smooth ground holding the Sun God Lamp.
Ding Dong! Congratulations to the survivor Xia Qi for successfully completing the game!
Ding Dong! Congratulations to the survivor Xia Qi for killing the boss of the "Never-Sleeping City" dungeon. The game has entered the reward settlement...
“Ahh—”
Xia Qi lay on the ground, tears dripping onto the floor. He held the warm lamp tightly in his arms and roared heartbreakingly.
Why is he the boss every time, why does he always have to endure all this pain
Why is he locked out of every game?!
"Why? Who are you?" Xia Qi punched the ground and shouted angrily, "What can I do to get you out of this damn game?!"
As he roared angrily, he felt his body becoming lighter and lighter. But after a moment, the familiar feeling of dizziness came again.
In the distant darkness, there seemed to be two figures gradually floating towards the river bank where the red spider lilies were in full bloom. Amidst the colorful petals flying in the sky, the voice of the Night Emperor was heard faintly.
"My love, I, who sleep in darkness, do not know what knowledge is.
Until the moment you appeared, there was light in my world.
You taught me what true love is.
I am waiting for your love at the end of the world."
The bright Moon Goddess Lamp floated in the darkness, slowly drifting into a black abyss.
In the abyss, there is still that huge net of light.
Although the white illusory figure in the net has become clearer than before, his expression looks sickly and he seems to be in a bad state of mind.
Seeing the Luna Lamp flying back, he raised his hand and caught the lamp helplessly.
The figure smiled self-deprecatingly. Xia Qi's words "You are sick" last time dealt him a big blow.
The figure held the warm Luna Lamp in his hand, but he didn't dare to open it.
He stared at the lamp for a long time, then suddenly took a deep breath, as if to cheer himself up: "Forget it, what could be worse than Xia Qi's pity and 'you are sick'?"
Forget it, just open it.
He shook his head and helplessly opened the message brought by the Moon Goddess Lamp—
Props: Xia Qi's Thanks
This nice guy card came completely unexpectedly.
Figure: “…”
