Chapter 676: Are you going to die or not?

"Supreme Treasure, do you know that if you do this, you will die!"

"I know, but as long as I can save you, I, Supreme Treasure, will have no regrets even if I die!"

"Listen to me first, pull your hand out, stop giving me your life force, and leave here quickly!"

"I'm not leaving!"

"You..."

"Miss A-Zi, actually, even if I wanted to leave, it's too late now. Look, this array has already covered the entire area; we have nowhere left to go!"

"What?"

Hearing this, Fairy Zixia hurriedly turned her head to look!

The entire sea area had long since expanded, covering every corner, which meant the array had completely sealed off this place!

Just as Xu Que said, even if they wanted to leave now, it was too late; there really was nowhere left to go!

"Miss A-Zi, can you promise me one thing?"

At this moment, Xu Que looked at her and said softly, "If I die, carry my ashes with you. If you encounter bad people in the future, scatter them, and let me protect you one last time!"

She was instantly stunned!

These words made her feel somewhat unable to bear it.

She had never seen such an act of sacrificing one's life to save another.

She had only occasionally heard that such things happened between Daoist companions who truly loved each other. But most of the time, she heard that some Daoist companions would not hesitate to harm their other half just to survive!

Although these were just rumors, she had always been more inclined to believe the latter!

After all, this world was inherently one where the strong preyed on the weak. For the sake of fortune, for the sake of cultivation, and for the sake of immortality, many people would not hesitate to pay any price; whether it was killing to seize treasures or stabbing someone in the back, it was all very normal.

As for so-called sacrificing one's life to save others or selfless dedication, even she, Fairy Zixia, admitted that she could not do it for everyone!

But now, such a naive and simple youth was willing to pay the price of his life to save her, a mere acquaintance. What kind of noble character was this?

How could such a person exist in this world?

If it were to save a beautiful woman, perhaps it could be because he wanted to play the hero saving the beauty!

But... her own preparation time had been too rushed at the time, and she had only managed to condense this Dharma body with severe facial defects, and only by forcibly suppressing her cultivation realm could she arrive here. Why would he still do this?

Why? Just for a woman she had met by chance and who was ugly, how could she be worth him doing this?

Fairy Zixia was incomparably confused and shocked!

And at this moment, Xu Que finally felt relieved. He secretly thought that it was fortunate he had a flash of inspiration and transferred his excess life force to Fairy Zixia; otherwise, he would probably have exploded and died by now!

Just thinking about that way of dying made him feel terrified!

"Supreme Treasure, why are you doing this?" At this moment, Fairy Zixia looked at Xu Que with a complex expression and asked softly, her tone revealing a trace of unbearable sadness and sorrow.

Xu Que smiled, shook his head, and said indifferently, "In this world, many things don't have a 'why.' It's just because I wanted to save you, so I saved you!"

Hearing this, Fairy Zixia could not help but fall silent!

Feeling the continuous stream of life force and a hint of warmth surging from the hand Xu Que was tightly gripping, her heart felt increasingly heavy and unbearable!

This time, when she entered this cave mansion, there was no danger to begin with. Even if she died, it would just be the death of a Dharma body. Once the Dharma body perished, her true body would appear, and then she would be repelled from this place—that was all!

So from the very beginning, she had told Xu Que to leave, because she truly would not die!

But Xu Que's actions had completely exceeded her expectations.

This handsome youth she had met by chance had actually rushed over regardless of everything, casting life and death aside, and was transferring the life force within his body to her, just to let her survive!

"Sigh!"

Fairy Zixia could not help but sigh secretly in her heart.

Looking at Xu Que's firm face, she could no longer bear to tell the truth.

Should she tell him, "Supreme Treasure, actually, your sacrifice was in vain; the one you saved is just an insignificant Dharma body"?

That would be too cruel!

Moreover, even if she told the truth now, it wouldn't save him; after all, there was no escaping this place!

"Forget it, I won't tell him; let him pass away in peace!"

In the end, Fairy Zixia whispered to herself and shook her head slightly!

"Miss A-Zi, have you ever eaten roasted chicken wings?" At this moment, Xu Que asked.

Fairy Zixia was startled, not understanding why Xu Que would suddenly ask this question, but she still shook her head and replied earnestly, "I haven't!"

She knew this youth was about to die, and before he died, she should accompany him and talk to him so he could pass away in peace!

"Sigh, I haven't either! I just heard many people in the Exploding Heaven Gang say that the chicken wings Xu Que roasts are delicious, worthy of being the most delicious food in the world. It's just a pity... I won't be able to eat them in the future!" Xu Que raised his head and said with a hint of sadness.

Fairy Zixia felt a slight pain in her heart!

What a good youth!

Such a righteous youth with noble character who sacrificed himself for others was going to die here in vain, and the only regret he felt before dying was that he hadn't eaten roasted chicken wings!

"Miss A-Zi, can you promise me one more thing? After I die, can you find Xu Que and ask him to roast a few pairs of chicken wings and burn them for me in front of my grave?" Xu Que asked.

Fairy Zixia did not hesitate at all, nodded with a complex expression, and promised earnestly, "I promise you, I will definitely fulfill your wish!"

"Good! In that case, I can rest easy!" Xu Que said in a low voice, as if filled with thousands of emotions!

Afterward, he slowly shifted his gaze toward mid-air, stopped talking, and stopped moving. He stood there, as if he had already passed away!

Even Fairy Zixia thought so!

Her eyes could not help but moisten slightly. No matter how aloof she was, she was moved by Xu Que's sacrifice at this moment!

Rest in peace! Supreme Treasure!

I will remember you forever!

When I get out, I will personally build the most magnificent tomb for you!

When I get out, I will learn to roast chicken wings from Xu Que, and every year on your death anniversary, I will personally burn them for you!

"Hey, Miss A-Zi, have you ever eaten stinky tofu?" Suddenly, Xu Que's voice came!

"Ah?" Fairy Zixia was startled, her beautiful eyes widening!

She thought that Xu Que's previous actions meant he had finished his last words and had passed away in peace!

Who would have thought that this guy would suddenly say something like this again!

Have you ever eaten stinky tofu?

Gosh, can you still eat tofu once it's stinky?

"Sigh, actually, I just remembered that I haven't eaten stinky tofu in this life! I heard that's also Xu Que's specialty dish. It's just a pity that I might never have the chance to eat it in this life!" Xu Que sighed and said sadly.

Fairy Zixia was already dumbfounded!

Only then did she realize that Xu Que's hand was still tightly holding hers, and he had been continuously transferring life force to her, never stopping!

He really hadn't died yet!

"How is this possible? He only has the cultivation of the Golden Core Stage; how could he have such abundant life force?" Fairy Zixia was incomparably shocked in her heart.

Even at her peak, she wouldn't have been able to transfer life force to someone else for so long; this was too bizarre!

"Miss A-Zi, why have you stopped talking? Can you keep talking to me?" At this moment, Xu Que looked at her, a trace of deep desolation and sadness flashing across his face, and he said in a low voice, "Since I was small, I grew up all alone, with no playmates and no friends! I just didn't expect that before I died, I would have to leave so quietly! Sigh!"

"No, I'll talk to you! Don't worry, I won't let you leave all alone!" Fairy Zixia immediately cast aside the doubts in her heart and said.

"Thank you, Miss A-Zi, you are truly a good person!" Xu Que smiled slightly and asked again, "Miss A-Zi, can you sing?"

"Sing? I... I'm not good at music!" Fairy Zixia shook her head in embarrassment.

"I can! Can I sing for you?" Xu Que asked.

Zixia Fairy did not hesitate, nodded immediately, and smiled: "Okay!"

"Hmm! Wait a moment!" Xu Que immediately pulled a tape recorder from his crotch, and with a "click," pressed the play button!

The next moment, a gentle and beautiful accompaniment began to play slowly!

Xu Que looked toward the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, his lips parted slightly, and a low, profound singing voice slowly emerged:

"The past, the present, gone, never to return."

"Red, fallen leaves, buried deep, within the dust."

"The beginning and the end, always, unchanged."

"You, drifting at the edge of the sky, beyond the white clouds..."

Fairy Zixia was instantly stunned!

The melody of this song carried a faint sadness and ethereal quality, as if it were music from beyond the heavens, yet it was right before her eyes!

At the same time, Xu Que's low voice was so pleasant to hear!

Meanwhile, Xu Que's singing voice rose slightly:

"The bitter sea, stirs up love and hate."

"In this world, it's hard to escape fate."

"To love each other, yet unable to be close."

"Perhaps I should, believe, it is destiny."

Fairy Zixia could not help but stand frozen in place, her heart inexplicably infected by the sad atmosphere of the song, and coupled with the fact that Xu Que was about to die, this feeling made her sadder than ever before!

"Heh ah... heh ah ah..."

At this moment, the melody in the tape recorder was still playing, and a beautiful female voice was humming softly...

However, Xu Que was already standing there quietly!

The singing had stopped!

His body was no longer moving!

Those eyes filled with sadness were tightly closed!

"He... has finally left after all!"

Fairy Zixia's heart sank. Immersed in the melody, she was filled with complex emotions; this feeling was unprecedented!

If she could, she really didn't want Xu Que to die just like that!

She felt that this youth was a truly good person, a true gentleman!

But why did fate play such tricks!

Such a good youth, yet he had to die so young!

Goodbye, Supreme Treasure!

You are the best person I have ever met since I woke up!

I will help you fulfill all your wishes!

I will remember you forever...

"Ahem, Miss A-Zi, I'm sorry! I forgot the lyrics!" Suddenly, Xu Que, who had been motionless, turned his head to look at Fairy Zixia, grinning with an embarrassed face!

"???"

Fairy Zixia was instantly dumbfounded, completely lost in the wind!

If she could, she really wanted to ask Xu Que one thing: Are you going to die or not?
