Chapter 138: Suspended Animation
Ren Mingyu looked at the blood crystal that had just been placed under Zhong Lingxin's hand with a blank expression, but in a few breaths, it turned into a handful of dark dust.
His pupils contracted violently for a moment, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, his heart beat wildly uncontrollably, and he secretly said to himself:
"The speed of blood crystal absorption, how can it become so fast now?"
Gao Ya also seemed to feel the abnormality, and subconsciously turned his head sideways to look at Zhong Lingxin, with a shocked expression on his face, and frowned:
"I don't know why the speed and volume of spiritual flow transmission are twice as fast as before, is she waking up soon?"
The eyes of the two met in the air for a moment, and then fell on Zhong Lingxin's face, but they were soon disappointed, she still closed her eyes tightly, and there was no wave on her face that was calm and peaceful like a lake, as if she had fallen into a sweet dreamland.
Gao Ya retracted his gaze a little dejected, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were pressed very low, revealing a look of exhaustion and disappointment.
She suppressed the inexplicable sour emotions in her heart, cleared her somewhat dry throat, hesitated, and slowly said with the mentality of breaking the jar and falling:
"Demon Chicken, you said that those stones will be used up in a while, and the transformation is not over yet, should we end it immediately, or hold on a little longer?"
When Ren Mingyu heard this question, the expression on his face changed greatly, his face was green for a while, and he was embarrassed for a while.
A deep sadness flowed between Ren Mingyu's eyebrows, and he was in a trance for a while, and turned his head with difficulty, as if he hadn't heard anything just now, gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.
A simple sentence, but to make a choice between two people who are extremely important to him, Ren Mingyu couldn't say anything at this time, like a small fishbone stuck in his throat, in a dilemma.
Just when Gao Ya thought that she couldn't hear Ren Mingyu's answer, after a short silence, a voice that suppressed some emotion suddenly sounded in her ears.
"If that happens, you stop. She's not just what we're here for, she's a living person, crying, laughing, aching, and not a rock......"
As Ren Mingyu spoke, he turned his head, as if pretending to pull away the broken hair in his ears, but his fingertips gently swept the corners of his eyes.
"As the patron saint of the Flood Wilderness Human Race, for thousands of years, in order to control the power of the Holy Spirit, we have been distracted, detached from the world, and have never experienced the seven emotions and six desires of the human world.
Little sheep, you know what? Sometimes, I even feel an inexplicable sense of happiness that I have broken free from the fate that I have decided since birth.
We...... It seems that at this time, he has truly lived for himself once, and is no longer just a god worshipped by the world.
Although the time to be a human being is too short, I am willing to exchange everything I have.
She...... It was the one I cared about the most, and it was she who pulled me out of the darkness when I fell into the abyss. Even if our mission fails, I don't want her to sacrifice herself for the sake of our incompetent us. I want to protect her, no longer because of the name of the Twelve Holy Guardians, but because of the bonds of this heart. ”
Gao Ya looked at Ren Mingyu in a daze, and the determined and serious tone in her ears was like a different world, which made her have an unreal illusion, and there was even a little sadness in that determination.
Gao Ya's heart instantly swelled with a thousand thoughts, moved his lips, and swallowed back when he reached his mouth.
What Ren Mingyu said was like a tidal wave surging in the bottom of his heart, swaying out layers of splashes, converging into unstoppable ripples.
"To live for oneself once, to give up everything you have, to break free from fate, is it no longer a god on high?"
Gao Ya's gaze was unpredictable, and his eyes were full of emotions that could not be dissolved, as if repeating to himself, and his voice was so soft that only he could hear it.
Zhong Lingxin's brows furrowed slightly, and there seemed to be a faint whisper in her ears, as if she was hallucinating through a layer of fog, making her not really hear.
The cold palm was close to a warm and soft palm, and the real body temperature spread from Zhong Lingxin's palm little by little, and the bone-chilling coldness slowly dissipated.
The blood that coagulated into ice in Zhong Lingxin's body began to melt, flowing into the heart in his chest, and the lost consciousness slowly crept up the nerves, and the tearing sensation of overdrawing spiritual power came like a wave.
On Zhong Lingxin's tightly closed eyelids, the slender eyelashes trembled gently, like butterfly wings fluttering towards the sun.
Zhong Lingxin slowly lifted her eyelids, and then opened her hazy eyes in a daze, and her eyes seemed to be filled with a thin layer of mist, making her eyes look exceptionally clear.
There was a green glow in the center of her smooth forehead, and it was the peculiar leaf that shone brightly.
The leaves appeared and disappeared quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared into her forehead, conjuring up a light green mark, the color was too light to be seen at a glance.
A few simple lines outline the shape of the leaves, but there seems to be some kind of mystery hidden in them.
A faint golden glow faintly shone from the edge of the imprint, fleeting.
The next moment, the scattered light in Zhong Lingxin's eyes suddenly gathered together, as if he had woken up from a dream, and his eyes gradually returned to clarity and transparency.
The unbearable pain in the whole body seemed to be taken away by that magical leaf, and it disappeared in an instant.
However, there seems to be something more in her body, just like an arid earth, ushering in a spring breeze and drizzle, and everything sprouts.
An indescribable energy seemed to burst out of the chrysalis, breaking free from the shackles that bound it, and rapidly expanding in Zhong Lingxin's body, circulating according to a certain pattern, an inexplicable sense of familiarity that made her entire soul cheer.
Ren Mingyu's sparkling peach blossom eyes are staring round at the moment.
He had been staring intently at Zhong Lingxin, and he happened not to miss the incomparably mysterious scene that appeared when she woke up, and the mark that disappeared in an instant made him think that he was hallucinating.
Ren Mingyu rubbed his eyes, his eyes seemed to be out of focus, and the corners of his eyes were a little sore, slightly red.
Ren Mingyu couldn't move his legs, couldn't take a step, just stood in place in a daze, his mind was occupied by her in front of him.
His breathing was rapid, as if something sour was blocking his throat, and the words he wanted to say filled his chest, but he couldn't say a word.
Ren Mingyu took a few deep breaths, and finally calmed down those surging and turbulent emotions.
At this moment, his heart was full of mixed feelings, but in the end, he only called her name softly.
"Zhong Lingxin ......"
After Ren Mingyu's throat rolled up and down, he didn't say the next words, and a thousand words were stuck in the bottom of his heart, as if at this moment, all words were no longer important, as long as she woke up safely.
Zhong Lingxin was shaking because of the inexplicable energy in his body, when he suddenly heard someone shouting his name, and finally came back to his senses.
The eagerness and surprise revealed in Ren Mingyu's soft voice and tone were close at hand, and suddenly, she felt as if her heart was flowing through a warm spring, and a warm current surged up, and her heart was warm.
Zhong Lingxin turned his head sideways for a long time, looking at the familiar face, his eyes were dyed with a layer of redness, and the water under his eyes shone brightly.
Her eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly.
"What's the matter, who made you cry? Growing up, it's the first time I've seen you cry. ”
Zhong Lingxin finished speaking softly, his tone was brisk, and a hint of banter flashed in the rising end.
After being silent for a long time, Ren Mingyu finally reacted sluggishly, the blush climbed to the root of his ears, and glared at Zhong Lingxin angrily, his stretched eyebrows and the smile on his lips that he tried his best to hide, but it showed that he was not angry, and muttered secretly.
"It's not because I'm worried about you!"
After speaking, Ren Mingyu turned his head sideways quietly, and his lips silently hooked up a slight curve.
Zhong Lingxin stretched his voice and said "oh", then looked at Ren Mingyu's face that turned red from anger.
She pursed her lips and couldn't help but laugh.
Zhong Lingxin seemed to want something, his eyes flashed slightly, he didn't continue to make fun of Ren Mingyu, and after coughing lightly, he silently changed the topic.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
Gao Ya on the other side was looking at Zhong Lingxin with a nervous face, there was still surprise in his eyes that had not faded, his eyes were shining brightly, and he couldn't wait to say:
"You're not unconscious, you're fake death, and you're terrifying me. In fact, it didn't take long, less than a quarter of an hour.
However, it's great that you're okay, just now you seem to have been hooked, no matter how I and the demon chicken called you, you didn't react, and I was beaten for no reason. ”
Gao Ya said as he made a look of grievance, and at the end he blinked his eyes and squeezed out a tear.
When Ren Mingyu heard her words, the corners of his mouth drooped.
There seemed to be a faint unhappiness between his eyebrows, and he looked at Gao Ya faintly.
A hint of narrowness flashed in his elegant eyes, and he looked back at the past without showing weakness.
Neither of them flinched, as if there was an electric flint light rubbing between them, and the atmosphere froze for a few seconds.
Ren Mingyu snorted softly, and immediately showed an aggrieved look on his face, and lowered his eyelashes listlessly.
Only the exposed ears were slightly red, and he buried his head and was embarrassed to look at Zhong Lingxin opposite.
Zhong Lingxin was stunned for a moment, her face seemed to be a little embarrassed, a trace of subtle emotion flashed in her eyes, and she sighed in her heart.
She turned her head sideways to look at Gao Ya, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and said softly:
"Sorry for worrying you."
Hearing this, Gao Ya just held Zhong Lingxin's hand harder, and there was a momentary pause in his tone, and he laughed haha.
She said with a little weakness: "It's okay, as long as you wake up, in fact, I was a little scared just now." What happened to you? If it weren't for the fact that you were still collecting blood crystals, I would have almost thought you were dead, like an ice cube. ”
