and, unaware, a few shades of loneliness and despair emerged from the depths of her gaze, “I want to save the two people I owed the most in my childhood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But there’s only one fragment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slowly bowed her head, “That’s why I struggled, struggled for many years, not knowing how to choose, until some days ago, when bad news came from the Mountain Realm, I then knew I didn’t need to struggle anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you still want to save Grandfather Mountain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu nodded her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An, however, shook his head, slowly closing his eyes and said, “How can something intangible shape time and reincarnation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandfather Mountain has already returned to Chaos, without a trace to be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if you find the fragment, you can’t bring him back to life, and besides…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>in this world, there is nothing that can reverse death back to life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Fang Geyu not understand this principle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a bit annoyed, “Are you going to spit it out for me or not!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An said dryly, “I can’t spit it out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu’s face turned green with entanglement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She covered her lips and trembled, “You’re not thinking of…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>pooping it out to me, are you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An’s good temper was almost lost, and she angered him into vomiting another mouthful of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He coughed a couple of times, gritting his teeth, “I indeed have the will but not the power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the Unicorn stepped into the moonlight and arrived at the inn’s entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Fang Geyu lifted the curtain to get out of the carriage on her own, her gaze suddenly caught Baili An, huddled and wrapped in a blanket in the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, then went back to help him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting out of the carriage, Baili An’s complexion didn’t improve at all, and he kept coughing up blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chai Ye, waiting below the stairs, stepped forward upon seeing this scene, looking at Baili An’s robe smeared with fresh red, “What…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>what is this…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>did you get covered in blood from eating a midnight snack?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu nonchalantly said, “Useless trash, he got carsick.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An nodded to Chai Ye as a greeting and politely asked, “Has it been hard standing guard all night?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chai Ye also nodded respectfully, “It’s my duty, no trouble at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are the two fellow disciples with you sleeping alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chai Ye said, “Sister An doesn’t mind different beds and is sleeping quite soundly, but for Brother Li, I’m afraid it’s going to be a sleepless night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll need to work even harder, then,” said Baili An.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chai Ye gave him a meaningful look, his dark eyes indiscernible in emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, he put on a polite smile and said, “As a senior brother, it’s my responsibility to take care of junior disciples, so it’s only natural.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in their room, Fang Geyu poured herself a large cup of tea and drank it down without minding the coolness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan hurried over, his face still not free from anxious worry, “Where did you go tonight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are guards patrolling everywhere outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was really worried you would cause trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This isn’t like Shifang City where you can do whatever you want.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu was about to explain when she heard a heavy thump behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An had collapsed on the floor, his body had completely arched up, clutching his abdomen as if unable to move, his teeth chattering in painful tremors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him was a large puddle of blood he had coughed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bloodstain, under the illumination of the lamp, was gradually turning black, as if poisoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden change left both of them stunned, then filled with fear and trepidation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan stumbled forward, hands flustered and not daring to touch him randomly, and in a panic, he said, “Si Chen, what’s wrong with you, don’t scare me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu also rushed over quickly, her fingers cold, but she managed to retain some composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She propped up his body swiftly, and through the clothing, she found his body to be frighteningly hot, even exceeding the temperature of a normal person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu’s face showed rare panic, watching Baili An’s blood-stained lips buzz slightly, she clenched her teeth, forcing herself to stay calm, “What are you saying, what do you want?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A knife…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>small knife…” Baili An’s eyebrows twisted tightly in pain, the three words seemed to drain all his energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu did not know why he needed a knife, but at this moment she complied with his request without hesitation, quickly pulling a personal dagger from her boot and placing it in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed as he coughed up blood, tremblingly lifting his shirt hem and pressing the dagger blade against his abdominal skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the garment lifted, Lin Yuan and Fang Geyu both shuddered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His torso, no longer pale, looked like mold on leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chunks of crimson, chunks of black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exuded a stench of rot and poison, still spreading disastrously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An’s palm trembled with pain, yet without hesitation, he seemed to grit his teeth, cutting open his abdomen, with fresh blood instantly drenching his body and the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His intestines spilled out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu was utterly dumbfounded, watching him cut open his stomach without any hesitation, as if he were merely making an incision with a pen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers, stained red, reached into the cut and forcefully extracted a bright red earring, he heaved heavily and casually threw it to the side, weakly warning, “Don’t touch that earring.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…” Fang Geyu barely began to speak when her throat was choked up by something sour and she could no longer speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the jade carriage, he had vomited blood, his expression wan but never revealing any sign of pain or abnormality, appearing just like usual carsickness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing her, Fang Geyu, and facing Lan Youdie, he was still able to keep his composure and calmly unravel step by step from the deadly situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calmly escorting her back to the inn, not letting outsiders notice anything amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never imagined that this young man who said with all seriousness that he was a female entertainer could endure so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unspeakable emotions welled up in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not until this moment did she suddenly somewhat understand why Jiujiu and Lin Yuan liked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cutting open his own belly, Baili An’s fingers lost their strength entirely, and the dagger slipped from his grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face turned ashen, his eyes closed in pain, and his whole body, light as a leaf, collapsed weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan’s beautiful blue eyes were already shrouded in a mist, her choking seemingly unable to cry, as she caught his collapsing body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said nothing, asked nothing, just pressing tightly on the gruesome wound on his abdomen, but the blood kept gushing through her fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath her palm was his body, writhing in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An felt a chilling coldness creep into his body, enough to make one’s heart quiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse demon might not sleep, yet at this moment it seemed as if a Requiem was playing by his ear, calling him to slumber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moon was clear, the breeze fresh; the stars were dazzling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him, whether it was Lin Yuan or Fang Geyu’s faces, they were becoming very blurred, and the whole Mortal World seemed to be drifting away from him, a feeling not unfamiliar to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to smell the cold fragrance of red spider lilies from Santzu River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was truly bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ears buzzed, as if he could not hear anything distinctly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An knew there was certainly a huge problem with that earring, but he didn’t expect it to hide such a vicious and malicious threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Fang Geyu continued wearing it all the way back to the Mountain Realm, how could she have survived?\u003C\u002Fp>",1334,"2026-06-06T15:16:24.479Z",1,"novelbin.me","29b2b7d10c21056366b8d5b7272f038eb6446436a1ae8d98ec6b8dbcd443a0df","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-199","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-197",1594,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjourney-to-the-end-of-the-night-cover.jpg"]
