Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 232: Island Master Suicide
The steep cliff top is cold, the sky is full of stars, and it is covered with exotic flowers and plants. This is the most beautiful cliff on Yunzhou Island, Jixue Cliff.

When Zhongli Sheng rushed to the top of the cliff with Shi Xuanling without stopping, he saw a familiar pair of figures sitting on the edge of the cliff.

"Father, mother!"

No one knows a father better than his son. Zhongli Sheng really made the right bet this time!

Just as he excitedly rushed forward, his father Zhong Lixian's voice suddenly came from the edge of the cliff: "Don't come over here, stop, don't come over here!"

The cold moonlight reflected on the back figure. His hair had turned mostly white. The once handsome and god-like Lord Zhongli of the island now had an endless sorrow all over his body.

Madam Wan leaned in his arms. She was so thin that she looked almost like a skeleton and would be shattered by the sea breeze.

Shi Xuanling's nose felt sore, and her eyes instantly turned red. She called out in a hoarse voice, "Master!"

Amidst the white mist, the dying white fox curled up under the moon. Its body trembled slightly, but it did not turn around.

The night wind whistled between the cliffs, and only the sorrowful words of the island master Zhongli could be heard from afar: "If you take one more step forward, I will immediately hug Awan and jump off this snow cliff. I am only here with her to watch the sunrise. This is her last wish, and I must help her fulfill it. No one of you should disturb us... No one should come close, just let us watch this sunrise. Let me quietly accompany Awan on this last journey in this world."

After saying that, Zhong Lixian lowered his head again and said softly and tenderly to Madam Wan in his arms: "Madam, we will see the sunrise soon. Please hold on for a while. Your husband will stay here with you and will not go anywhere. I will accompany you to see the first ray of sunlight on the top of the Jixue Cliff, okay?"

An atmosphere of despair and grief permeated the Jixue Cliff. After hearing what his father said, Zhong Li Sheng couldn't stop shaking all over. Tears flashed in his eyes and his chest heaved. He still wanted to move forward, but was stopped by Shi Xuanling beside him.

The girl shook her head silently at him. He looked into those light brown eyes and understood her intention of fulfilling his wish. He couldn't help but hold back his tears and looked at the backs of the couple who were cuddling together on the edge of the cliff. Finally, he chose to take a step back and not get any closer.

Wave after wave came crashing in, roaring and hitting the rocks under the Jixue Cliff. Zhongli Sheng had never felt that time was so long, so long that his hands and feet were cold to the bone, as if he had lost consciousness.

It was not until a soft hand held him tightly and a warm current flowed into his palm that he took a trembling breath, turned his head, and met the gentle gaze beside him.

The two young boys and girls stood in the cold wind, holding each other's hands, waiting for the moment of sunrise.

There is no need for many words, just like the gurgling of clear spring water, flowing in each other's hearts, with only the bright moon on the top of the snow cliff as the light.

When the first ray of sunlight finally penetrated the clouds and shone on the top of the cliff amid the roaring waves, Shi Xuanling couldn't help but point to the sky with joy:
"Little Shark, look!"

There are only a few such unforgettable moments in life. It turns out that the sunrise on the top of the snow cliff is so breathtaking. No one can help but be moved by the grand and magnificent spectacle before their eyes. Between heaven and earth, it is just a drop in the ocean. It is lingering in my mind with all my life's thoughts, and it is hard to control myself.

Shi Xuanling looked up at the sunrise in a daze, tears flashing in her eyes and blurring her vision: "Little Shark, you know, this is the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen. I suddenly... suddenly miss being alone."

Zhong Lisheng also looked up at the sky, and murmured in the morning breeze: "I also want to keep this sunrise, keep the person I want to keep, and want her to never leave me..."

The sun rises over the sea, covering the cliff. The two figures leaning against each other on the cliff are staring at this sunrise with special significance. It is the wish at the end of the world and also a farewell between the mountains and the sea.

Zhong Lixian suddenly lowered his head, as if to say something to Madam Wan. Zhong Lisheng and Shi Xuanling both saw it keenly. Just when they were about to speak at the same time, Madam Wan suddenly turned around -

The sea breeze blew across her clothes and hair. Under the grand sunrise, the sunlight blurred the red spots on her face and the deformed facial features, only outlining a circle of moving golden edges around her body. In a dreamlike state, she seemed to have turned back into the bright and beautiful mountain goddess in the Qingli Mountains, wearing a golden feather dress and holding a bow to hold the moon. With a smile on her lips, she looked deeply at Zhongli Sheng and Shi Xuanling.

That look full of affection contained so many things, engraved with the separation of the world, crushed the vicissitudes of life, everything, love, hate, past events, all the extremely strong emotions, were solidified in this one look.

Zhongli Sheng and Shi Xuanling were shocked and couldn't help but hold each other's hands tightly, tears falling down.

The top of the cliff was quiet and silent. Madam Wan snuggled into Zhongli Xian's arms again. They watched the sunrise in the sky together. The two figures did not move for a long time, like a painting.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhong Lisheng took a deep breath and shouted loudly towards the cliff: "Dad, you have watched the sunrise with Mom. Can we come over now? I want Xuan Ling to see Mom. I'm afraid she can't hold on..."

The sea breeze carried his voice, but the two figures on the cliff remained motionless and there was no response.

Zhong Lisheng's heartbeat quickened, and he shouted twice more: "Dad! Mom!"

But there was no response, still no response from the cliff!

Zhongli Sheng suddenly panicked and his face changed. Shi Xuanling also thought of something and his face turned pale in an instant. The two of them ran towards the pair of figures snuggling together.

"Father, mother!"

"Master, the island owner!"

The running boy and girl finally came to the pair of figures on the cliff. Under the gorgeous sunrise, Zhongli Xian hugged Madam Wan tightly. They both had peaceful expressions, gazing into the horizon with a faint smile on their lips.

Shi Xuanling's whole body began to tremble violently, and she hurriedly felt the pulses of both of them. Madam Wan died of the poison, and Zhong Lixian had actually severed his own meridians and died long ago, following Madam Wan!

"Dad, Mom!" Zhong Lisheng was shocked to see his parents pass away in front of him. He was so grief-stricken that he didn't want to believe this cruel fact. "No, I don't believe it. Dad, Mom, wake up. Stop kidding. Wake up quickly and get up now..."

He was crying like rain, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was screaming almost crazily: "Please, please get up! Don't abandon me, don't lie to me, I don't want to be an island owner, I just want to be my father and mother's child, please don't scare Ah Sheng, don't abandon Ah Sheng like this, do you hear me, do you hear Ah Sheng calling you? Wake up, wake up quickly..."

Seeing that Zhongli Sheng was so grief-stricken that he almost lost his mind, Shi Xuanling burst into tears and could not help but hug him, holding his hands and feet tightly.

"Little Shark, Little Shark, calm down!"

“Xuan Ling, please save them, please save them!” Zhong Lisheng was startled, turned around, and cried to Shi Xuanling with tears on his face as if he had grabbed the last straw, “You are a miraculous doctor, you have extraordinary abilities, you must have a way to save them, right?!”

Shi Xuanling was heartbroken. Her pain at this moment was no less than Zhong Lisheng's, but she couldn't fall down. She had to force herself to comfort Zhong Lisheng: "Little Shark, when my mother passed away, I was also heartbroken. I didn't want to believe it no matter what, but the dead cannot be resurrected. At least Master and the Island Master passed away peacefully, untied the knots in their hearts for most of their lives, and fulfilled the promise they made when they were young to be together through life and death, and never leave each other. They accompanied each other on the last journey, and there is no regret anymore. You should let it go too..."

She hugged Zhong Lisheng tightly, afraid that he would do something stupid in his grief, so she could only repeat: "Ah Sheng, I am here, you are not alone, I will accompany you and help you through this most painful period, I will not abandon you, never..."

Zhong Li Sheng's whole body was trembling, and he looked at Shi Xuanling with bloodshot eyes. His chest heaved violently, and he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and then fell weakly on Shi Xuanling's shoulder.

"A Sheng!"
