Step by step…
Di Xiao's mind seemed to be shrouded in clouds. The closer he got to Shen Tianlan, the more puzzled, confused, and hesitant he became...
What is she longing for in her heart
She has had no "freedom" since she was born, so she thinks "freedom" is what she wants in her life.
However, looking at Shen Tianlan in such an embarrassing state, looking at Shen Tianlan who sacrificed his life in exchange for her wish to come true, even if "freedom" was about to come, there was no joy in her heart. Instead, it was like a huge stone blocking her, making her almost unable to breathe. Angry and depressed as never before.
Why
She should hate him, hate this descendant of the race with the blood of sinners flowing through his body, but why did she only feel a strong bitterness in her chest and mouth when she saw his struggle
Somewhere... She always felt that there was something more important than hating him, more important than freedom.
What is it
What is it
Shen Tianlan…
What do I want from you
When Shen Tianlan saw that Di Xiao had walked in front of him, he did not resist or dislike him as much as before. A soothing smile spread across his face. The smile was as bright as a child's, like spring water, soaking into Di Xiao's face. Deep in Akatsuki's heart.
It turns out... Shen Tianlan still has this expression
Di Xiao was stunned for a moment. The anxiety, complexity and obscurity in his heart seemed to be washed away by the spring water, and the answer in his heart gradually became clear...
Looking at the hand handed to her, she hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out her hand to hold his...
Perhaps, she will soon know the answer she wants. She will soon know why Shen Tianlan exists for her...
This thought weakened Di Xiao's perception, and all his attention was focused on his palm, at this moment of intertwined fate.
Where should she and him go...
When her fingertips touched, the pulsating warmth became hot, burning her heart to a point of submission and excitement.
She slowly tightened her hand and held him tightly.
Maybe, she understands...
The smile spread involuntarily from Di Xiao's eyes. At this moment, a terrifying sword light suddenly appeared, and from Shen Tianlan's shoulder, his entire arm was neatly sliced away -
The cold blood that belonged to Shen Tianlan sprayed onto Di Xiao's face, causing the smile in her eyes to suddenly freeze. What she held in her hand was only a severed arm.
"No-"
Di Xiao's eyes shrank into vertical pupils, she screamed in panic, and stretched out her hands quickly, trying to save the man who occupied her entire soul.
But the terrifying force had already broken through from behind and hit Shen Tianlan's spine hard -
"No! Shen Tianlan!!"
Amid Di Xiao's heartbreaking call, Shen Tianlan was thrown high into the air, crushed heavily into the dust, and rolled several times before stopping.
"Pfft... cough..." Pain and weakness caused Shen Tianlan's body to twitch instinctively as he was on the verge of collapse. His consciousness was a little confused. It wasn't until a cry of pain that shattered his soul that he forcefully opened his eyes and looked around in panic. Just the scene he saw almost made him bite his gums.
"No!! Di Xiao!!!"
But he saw Di Xiao being held by the neck and lifted up by a long-haired man. The man held a dark gem in his hand, and a snow-white beast soul was locked in the center of the gem.
The tiger's head, one horn, dog's ears, dragon's body, lion's tail, and unicorn's feet are exactly the sacred beast of the ancient world - Listen!
