These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Wei Tu wanted to say something.

His palm touched the other person's shoulder, but when his palm touched the other person's thin shoulder.

Ye Bingluan suddenly turned around, threw herself into Wei Tu's arms, and hugged the boy tightly.

The crimson clouds faded from the sky, and the atmosphere between heaven and earth gradually returned to normal.

But it was a desolate wilderness. Although the houses and roads were still there, there were no people to be seen except for them.

Apart from himself standing in the sandstorm, and the girl sobbing in his arms, it seemed like nothing was left.

Wei Tu let her hug him.

He gazed calmly at the desolate scene.

When the sky finally returned to normal, the clouds turned white, and the sky was azure, it was a pity that the joyful sounds of men tilling the fields and women weaving, which should have filled this land, had all turned into sand and gravel blowing gently in the wind.

Only the sound of particles.

Tears soaked her clothes, and her sobs sounded so sorrowful amidst the wind and sand.

"Why me...?"

"Why me of all people...!"

"I don't want this to happen... Waaah, I don't want this to happen!"

"But I had no choice... I had no choice from beginning to end! I had no choice!!"

Wei Tu knew, of course, that she had almost no choice. This situation was difficult to summarize accurately, and could not be fully explained in a few words, but that was just how things were.

The wind will remember, the clouds will remember.

They will spread this story silently. As time goes by, who can clearly hear whether the song is about joy or tragedy?

Wei Tu reached out and stroked the other person's soft, black hair, and said softly.

"You've already tried your best."

There was no further comfort; comfort would only be of no use.

It's unclear how long the girl cried, but Wei Tu seemed to have no choice but to stand there.

Until the girl seemed to lose all strength while crying in his arms, and she collapsed limply to the ground.

Wei Tu could only helplessly reach out and embrace her soft body.

He truly collapsed from exhaustion.

Fortunately, it's not to the point where he won't wake up.

However, setting off today was definitely not an option, so under this azure sky, Wei Tu carried Ye Bingluan through this desolate area that resembled a dead city.

He carried Ye Bingluan back to the inn. The bowls, chopsticks, tables, chairs and benches were still there, but unfortunately, those people had disappeared without a trace. The chopsticks he had shot out were still standing on the pillar, but the waiter was nowhere to be seen.

He's probably dead, killed by Ye Bingluan's sword.

Every trace remains, telling the story of their existence.

Perhaps the real story has not been preserved, but their very existence is the most touching story.

Wei Tu carried Ye Bingluan upstairs and placed her on the bed in the familiar room. After channeling a wisp of energy into her that could automatically regulate her breathing, the young man sat by the window, looking at the sky outside.

The azure sky looked much more normal.

It slowly darkened within the normal timeframe; it had rained outside.

Rainwater fell from the eaves and onto the ground, perhaps as if God was washing away the traces of what had happened.

It can wash away blood, it can wash away footsteps, it can wash away all the destruction and ruin.

It simply cannot bring life to life.

Perhaps before long, this land will be covered with lush wild grass, which will spread across the entire land like wildfire.

Next year, the grass on the plains will be withered and fallen, the houses will be dilapidated, the tiles will fall off, and the courtyard walls will collapse.

The sky had already darkened.

Wei Tu lit a candle.

Then I heard sounds of disordered breathing.

He turned his head and saw Ye Bingluan, who had already opened her eyes, staring blankly at him.

"woke up?"

Wei Tu smiled slightly as he looked at Ye Bingluan.

Ye Bingluan looked at Wei Tu, and some of her former spirits seemed to have returned, but she couldn't smile. She just shook her head and said...

"How I wish I could wake up and not see you."

Wei Tu knew what she meant. If she didn't see him, she should just pretend it was all a dream. But her own existence made it impossible for her to deceive herself.

Wei Tu wasn't angry. He smiled as he looked at the girl's pale face, her lips seemingly devoid of color.

However, Ye Bingluan possessed an exceptionally delicate charm, appearing frail and delicate.

"Who knows who's the nemesis between us? Let's not blame either of us."

Ye Bingluan nodded.

"You're right... Now that things have come to this, I can only thank you."

Wei Tu nodded.

Ye Bingluan sat up in bed, looked out the window in the same direction as Wei Tu, and then asked somewhat hesitantly.

What will tomorrow bring?

Wei Tu looked at the starry sky that seemed to have been absent for a long time.

"Perhaps it will be a journey of riding the waves, or perhaps it will be fraught with thorns. We'll only know once we're on the road."

Ye Bingluan glanced at Wei Tu wearily.

"Can I lean on you for a bit?"

Wei Tu looked at Ye Bingluan and asked, "Wouldn't it seem incredibly arrogant of me to refuse now?"

"...You know that too."

Ye Bingluan didn't even have the strength to laugh anymore.

Wei Tu nodded. The girl leaned against his chest, her eyes slightly closed. It was unclear whether she was looking at the starlight or slowly falling asleep again.

The two remained silent until the first light of dawn appeared on the horizon.

Dawn will eventually break.

The rain, which had stopped long ago, left the morning air moist, as if it were the life force being nurtured in the soil.

"..."

Ye Bingluan suddenly opened her eyes.

She suddenly felt a bit noisy, a somewhat unreal noise, the sounds... seemed to be coming from outside.

It was as if the noise of every street below the inn filled the air, creating a bustling atmosphere reminiscent of the marketplace.

She frowned.

Sudden.

"boom."

The door to the room was pushed open, and she and the boy who opened his eyes at the same time looked over.

The waiter, whose forehead was very smooth, stared at the two of them in shock.

"Um... is this room occupied?"

Ye Bingluan burst into tears instantly.

Goodnight, 30

"Hey, pretty girl, wanna buy a candied hawthorn skewer? It's super sweet and not sour at all."

"You don't recognize me?"

"Huh? What are you saying? How could an old woman like me possibly know someone as beautiful as you? Do you want to buy it?"

"..."

"Buy one, here you go, grandma."

The young man took the candied hawthorn with his fair and slender hand and handed it to the fairy-like girl in the old woman's mouth next to him.

The young girl holding the candied hawthorn stick walked further and further away with the boy, while the old woman watched their retreating figures with an unstoppable smile.

But I also started to have doubts.

"Hmm...it does look familiar, but where have I seen it before?"

"They all seem to have forgotten me, and don't even know who I am anymore."

Walking on the crowded streets, how could one imagine that this city was a dead city before today, a dead city without a single living person, as if it were the end of the world?

Now, it seems as if everyone who left has returned. For the two of them, it's like they've just woken up from a dream.

Both of them knew that all of this was real, but they never expected it to end like this.

The boy walked ahead of her, strolling peacefully.

"Isn't this the best outcome for you? You don't have to worry about anyone knowing your decision, even though it wasn't a mistake."

Ye Bingluan looked at the candied hawthorn in her hand and smiled like a child.

"Yes...this is the best outcome."

Wei Tu looked at the distant horizon, where a crimson hue stretched from the ground to the sky.

This situation is very bad, perhaps even worse than Jiuyang City.
