Chapter 39: The Eve of the Execution

Tower of Spirals. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Heaven and earth are silent, vast and far away. Snow has covered the entire land, and the ice and snow have not melted for thousands of years.

Crystal clear ice towers stand above the calm, waveless silver sea.

The wind and snow were howling, and several beast-shaped skeletons could be faintly seen, dragging their long white tailbones back and forth on the snow.

It was the guardian of the Spiral Tower, the Ice Undead.

They are responsible for guarding the criminals and monsters held in the tower, as well as guarding against unscrupulous foreign invaders.

A figure suddenly appeared in the wind and snow.

The figure was dressed in a gray robe, walking on the snow and heading towards the ice tower.

One by one, the undead keepers along the way lowered their pale skulls and saluted respectfully to the figures.

The door opened silently, and the icy cold rushed in front of you.

A frozen room.

Ice edges like cobwebs cover the corners of the room, and sharp ice picks grow like spring shoots, spreading crystal frost flowers.

Outside the window, the wind and snow were howling, and the whole room was white and covered in ice and snow.

The gray-robed figure slowly walked into the room, squirming with each step on the ice chips.

The room was dead silent, without a hint of life.

The figure looked around, and finally stopped at a white clearing near the window, frowning slightly.

It was a girl.

Snow covered the girl entirely. She was curled up in a ball, motionless, already frozen.

The figure removes its gray cloak, revealing long, lilac hair.

A blue-purple robe shone with starlight, and the colors were so dazzling that it lit up the room.

Qiyuan Hibiscus stepped forward and squatted down, and with a slight wave of the blue-purple sleeved robe, the layers of white snow quietly dissipated, revealing the bloodstained thin body.

She looked at the girl's bloodless face and reached out to probe her breath.

It was extremely faint, but there was still a trace of breath.

In the dream, there is still snow blowing one after another, covering the sky.

Qianling was barefoot, struggling to move forward in the wind and snow with rage.

Every inch of skin was covered in frost and snow, and beneath that frost and snow were tiny wounds left by countless rose thorns.

The body stinged like a pinprick, but it gradually became numb.

The little figure suddenly appeared at the end of the wind and snow, his short light chestnut hair was stained with small snowflakes, he smiled softly, and a pair of snow-white wings hung down behind him.

Xiao Yu ...... Xiao Yu ......

She looked at the familiar figure in disbelief and walked forward tremblingly, but her body shook and fell the snow.

Tears ran down her cheeks, which were numb from cold, and she struggled to look up.

The wind and snow drowned his figure.

She slowly closed her eyes, her body gradually cold to the point of numbness, and she lost her senses.

Suddenly, a warmth spread from the back and gradually spread to the whole body.

It's so warm.

A pair of hands shook lightly in front of his eyes, faintly as if he saw the blue-purple light flickering slightly.

A clear voice rang in my ears.

"Are you awake?"

Qiyuan Hibiscus stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, looking at the amber eyes that slowly opened and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you ......" Qianling looked at her a little confused, and suddenly a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, "Tengluo Angel Seven Gardens?"

"Looks like you remember. Seven Hibiscus stood up.

Qianling moved her body with some difficulty, feeling that her body was no longer so cold, revealing a trace of warmth.

She looked up at Qiyuan Hibiscus, and her eyes showed a hint of gratitude: "Thank you." โ€

"You don't have to thank me, I'm also entrusted. โ€

"Linchuan, is he okay?"

"You can't die," Nanayuan looked at her, "You're still worried about yourself." โ€

Qianling lowered her eyelids slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

At least Linchuan is fine, then she has nothing to worry about.

"You're the first one who can laugh at this spiral tower. Qiyuan Hibiscus raised her eyebrows, her voice soft but like a sigh.

Outside the window, the wind was raging, and the wind roared and crashed against the ice edges, shedding tiny fragments.

With a chill down her spine, Qiyuan Hibiscus turned her head sharply and slashed backwards with one palm!

"Oops-"

The boy screamed and slammed into the ice wall, sliding down like a cake against the wall.

"Rosenbay?" Nanagi looked at him in amazement, "What are you doing standing behind me?"

"I'm going to kill you, so heavy!" Rosenbay got up from the ground with his head covered, his face twisted into a ball of grief.

"Qiyuan Hibiscus, I've caught you, you don't care about a lot of things in Tianshui District during working hours, what are you doing in this spiral tower?" he looked at her with some schadenfreude and raised his eyebrows smugly.

"Are you qualified to talk about me, but young master, you are idle and lazy all day long, how could you come to this cold and snowy place?" Qi Yuan Hibiscus raised his hand and asked coldly.

"Of course, before the execution, let's see what kind of traitor is this traitor who has made a mess of Ellens and made me sleep well in months?"

Rosenbay yawned lazily and looked over the hibiscus to the girl on the ground.

"Is that your ......?"

"How are you?"

Two startled voices rang out at the same time.

Qiyuan Hibiscus looked at the two people and frowned suspiciously.

Rosenbe's eyes widened, and he ran to Qianling and squatted down, looking at her covered in blood and gasping for air.

"Oh my god, how did you get this way?"

"Is it Hua Fengyan's hand?" he slurped, "This woman is really getting more and more ruthless." โ€

โ€œ...... You can't really be a traitor, are you?" Rosenbay looked at her with a strange look in his eyes.

Qianling lowered her head and did not speak.

"Hey, Qiyuan Hibiscus, did you find out that it was really her?" Rosenbay looked up at Qiyuan Hibiscus, his eyes suspicious.

โ€œ...... Someone went to Hua Fengyan to report it, and according to the investigation, this is indeed the case. Qiyuan Hibiscus's voice was low.

"Alas...... At that time, if you listened to me and became my girlfriend, how could there be such a thing. He sighed and shook his head regretfully.

He suddenly put his head in front of her and held her tightly with his hand: "It's not too late now, if you become my girlfriend, I will go to the Elders' Pavilion to plead for mercy, maybe I can be spared the death penalty." โ€

"......" Qianling withdrew her hand with a smile.

One foot kicked at him, and Rosenbay fell out like a big toad and lay on the ground, splashing ice stains on the ground.

Qiyuan Hibiscus sneered: "You plead?

She turned her face to look at Qianling, her eyes were a little complicated:

"I've already tried it over there, especially Elder Xuan, who is very resolute, I'm afraid there is no room for maneuver in this matter. โ€

"Qianling," she slowly squatted down and stared straight at her, her eyes were a little unbearable, "Linchuan trusts you very much, and I also believe that you are not a traitor......

"And I, I believe in you too. Rosenbay crawled over with two lines of nosebleeds and held her hand.

"Fuck offโ€”โ€”!"

Another kick flew over!Rosenbay rolled to the wall and twitched.

"Poof-" Qianling couldn't help but laugh as she looked at him with a nosebleed and a soul ascending to heaven, "You guys have such a good relationship." โ€

"Huh?!" both snorted from their noses at the same time.

"Thank you for coming to see me," Qianling smiled lightly, "I didn't expect to be able to talk so much to the Holy Angels, nor did I expect that there would be such a kind person as the two of you among the Twelve Holy Angels......"

I will interpret this sentence as a compliment to me...... Hmm......" Rosenbay nodded.

"If you need help, or if you have any unfulfilled wishes, just say it, and I'll do my best to help you. Qiyuan Hibiscus looked at her and bowed her head slightly.

"Me too, by the way, haven't you eaten in a long time? I'll bring some food later. Rosenbay leaned over and grinned at her.

"Thank you. โ€

"If you want to thank me, it's best to make a promise. Rosenbay winked at her.

Dodging Nanayuan's fist on one side of his head, he made a triumphant gesture with a very weak face, and his snow-white wings stretched out and disappeared into the room in an instant.

"That guy is a disgrace to the Holy Angels. Seven Gardens glared in the direction he had disappeared.

Qianling smiled helplessly.

"Lord Seven Gardens...... My family is gone, and I don't have anything to worry about, but there is a black cat named Brown Sugar at home, can you help me give it to Linchuan? He will take good care of it for me......

"No problem. Qiyuan Hibiscus nodded slightly, "Anything else?"

"Linchuan sometimes has a bad temper, but he doesn't have a bad heart, I hope you don't blame him......"

"I know that, but I still have to beat it when it's time to do it. She looked at her and tilted her head, "Gone?"

Qianling shook her head.

"You kid really, all this time and all thinking about others. Qiyuan Hibiscus sighed, reached out and gently rubbed her head, suddenly feeling a little sad.

There was a hint of a smile on the bloodless pale face.

Life was originally so exhausted, if it weren't for them by her side, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on a long time ago.

Night.

Rosenbay sent a lot of food.

Having dinner with two holy angels in the Spiral Tower is a treatment that is unprecedented among prisoners.

Maybe it's because I haven't eaten for too long, or maybe it's because I really don't have an appetite, and I can't eat it after a few bites.

After a night of arguing with Rosenbei and Qiyuanjin, Qianling suddenly felt very warm when she looked at them.

It's been too long since it's been this lively.

As the night wore on, and after Nanagi and Rosenbay left, the icy room fell into its original silence again.

Outside the window, the cold wind carries frost and snow, falling quietly.

The chains dragged on the ice-stained ground, making a rustling sound.

Qianling staggered to her feet against the wall, looking at Liao Yuan's vast sky in a daze.

Crystal snowflakes stained the chestnut hair, lining the pale face. A pair of amber eyes were calm and unwavering, but they were empty and powerless.

Tomorrow is the day of execution.

This is presumably,

It was the last time she looked up at the world sky so quietly.
