"Yun Xi, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me..." Duan Tianyang's heart was surging and he couldn't help but let out a low cry.

After saying this, he wanted to untie Yi Yunxi's coat to check the wound on her chest.

"Don't..." Yi Yunxi gently held his hand, smiled softly, and shook her head slightly.

Duan Tianyang was stunned for a moment, recalling the scene of last night. When he was unconscious, a figure quietly descended. Although he could only see the back, he still recognized that person as Yi Yunxi.

You have to know that the Jin soldiers who besieged him last night were no less than a regiment, and they also had powerful weapons such as muskets and cannons. For Yi Yunxi to be able to take him away, it must have been a desperate fight.

This also explains why Yi Yunxi was so badly injured...

Just as he was distracted, Yi Yunxi gently touched his cheek with her trembling hands: "I looked for you for a long time outside Jinling Town last night and killed many Jin soldiers. Fortunately, I found you in the end..." Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, "You must be hungry... I... here is some food..."

After saying that, she took out the small cloth bag soaked in blood from her bosom and slowly unfolded it. Three dry biscuits came into view. The original milky yellow color had been stained with dark red...

Yi Yunxi raised her head and stared at him, her voice becoming weaker and weaker: "The cake seems dirty... No... I can't eat it..."

The kindness of Yi Yunxi to him in the past flashed before his eyes. He grabbed a piece of cake from the cloth bag and stuffed it into his mouth, choking and mumbling, "It's not dirty and it tastes good. Every time I eat with you, I think the food is especially delicious..."

"I... me too..." Yi Yunxi forced a smile.

Feeling that Yi Yunxi's breath was getting weaker and weaker, Duan Tianyang, who was well versed in medicine, knew what that meant. Even if the True Emperor came in person, he might be powerless to save her.

He swallowed the last of his food, sniffed, and whispered to Yi Yunxi gently but firmly: "Yunxi, you will be fine."

Yi Yunxi shook her head and curled up in his arms. Her breathing gradually became weaker and her eyes began to blur. She murmured, "Duan Tianyang... I'm a little cold... Can you hold my hand..."

Duan Tianyang's heart trembled when he heard this. He took her hand without hesitation and hugged her tightly...

Looking at Yi Yunxi's pale lips, he hesitated for a while, then he slowly closed his eyes and kissed her...

Duan Tianyang once told her that in his hometown, this is called a kiss, and it is a sign of love for someone...

At the beginning, when she brought Duan Tianyang back to Xuanhuang City, she waited in front of Ling Ziyan's room for a whole night. Although she didn't understand what that meant, she also had some understanding...

She didn't dare ask for too much, she just wanted to see Duan Tianyang again, and she would be satisfied.

It was unknown how long it had been, perhaps ten seconds, perhaps ten minutes. When Duan Tianyang opened his eyes again, he saw that Yi Yunxi's body had gradually lost temperature and her breathing had slowly stopped...

And underneath the mask, there was still a faint smile, as if bidding a final farewell to the world and to him...

At this moment, Duan Tianyang's eyes were filled with tears. He held Yi Yunxi's body, stretched out his right hand, and tremblingly took off the mask on her face...

Under the mask was a slightly heroic face, with slightly raised eyebrows and a straight nose. Far from being ugly, it was rather charming and had a certain resemblance to Yi Shuirou...

Duan Tianyang stroked her cold cheek, hugged her tighter, and murmured to himself: "Yunxi, you always say that you are ugly and dare not show your true face to others. Do you know? In fact, you are very beautiful. Can you get up and take a look..."

He did not check the wound on Yi Yunxi's chest. The dead are gone, but from the pools of dried blood on the ground and the blood-red bandages on Yi Yunxi's body, it is not difficult to see how serious the injury she suffered last night was...

Even though he was seriously injured, she still carefully treated his wounds and stayed with him all night...

This friendship made Duan Tianyang unable to recover for a long time...

There are many people in this world who are kind to him, but Yi Yunxi is undoubtedly the purest one, because she is as pure as a piece of white paper, so white that there is not a single flaw...

After an unknown amount of time, a breeze quietly blew through the cave, awakening him from his sorrow. He sniffed, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and gently placed Yi Yunxi's body on the ground...

Now is not the time to indulge in grief. The most urgent task is to escape from here and return to the realm of God.

He put on his clothes, and carefully put Yi Yunxi's mask and the remaining two blood cakes into his arms.

Afterwards, he injected his remaining true energy into the Universal Ring, transforming it into a shovel. He built a resting place for Yi Yunxi inside the cave. He also collected a bunch of flowers outside the cave and gently placed them in front of the grave to express his grief.

Given his current physical condition, he was simply unable to bring Yi Yunxi's body back to the Divine Realm. He could only bury it on the spot and wait for a chance in the future to bring Yi Yunxi's remains back so that she could return to her roots.

After everything was settled, Duan Tianyang kowtowed three times in front of Yi Yunxi's grave, and then forced himself to cheer up.

He walked out of the cave, looked around, engraved the coordinates of this place deeply in his mind, and then dragged his body towards the depths of the northern forest.

The road to the south was filled with Jin troops and full of dangers; while the road to the north, although it was getting farther and farther away from the boundary of the divine realm, was also a relatively safe way to survive. As long as he stepped into the boundary of the divine realm, he would be completely safe.

This vast forest is daunting in its depth and vastness.

Duan Tianyang headed north with difficult steps, and after six or seven days of trekking he finally walked out of the forest.

His body was injured and he couldn't walk fast. He could only move forward and rest from time to time.

During these days, he lived on two blood cakes and drank dew in the mountains when he was thirsty.

When he walked out of the woods, his clothes had become dirty and worn, and his face and hair were covered with mud. He looked no different from a refugee fleeing famine or a wandering beggar.

After another two days of trekking, Duan Tianyang arrived at a city with a majestic city gate with the words "Jindu" engraved on it.

Jindu City is located at the southern end of the Jinzhou Plain. Beyond its boundaries and heading north for hundreds of miles is the vast Jinzhou Plain.

At this moment, the city of Jin was decorated with lights and was bustling with activity. The faces of the people in the city were filled with unspeakable joy.

This joy stems from an unprecedented victory - the Battle of Jinzhou Plain, where the Jin Army defeated the Divine Realm Army with a thunderous force, almost annihilating its main force. Such a brilliant record is rare in hundreds of years.

The joy of victory surged throughout the city. The name of Jin Dynasty monarch Wanyan Bubai was repeatedly praised by the people and was almost deified.

They passed on word of mouth that the firearms that the Jin army relied on were all made by this monarch, and it was these innovative weapons that brought about today's victory.

Through word of mouth among the people, the Jin monarch was praised as a saint who saved the country and whose achievements were unprecedented and without precedent.

Duan Tianyang didn’t know whether Wanyan Bubai was the savior, but he knew that it was the Jin monarch who killed thousands of his brothers and Yi Yunxi.

He was deeply worried when he learned that the national army was almost destroyed, especially about Ling Ziyan's safety. Fortunately, he did not hear that she was captured or killed, which comforted him a little.

He strolled along the street, seeing a bustling restaurant packed with diners, and the rumbling of hunger in his stomach grew louder.

In the forest, he only had two blood cakes and wild vegetables to fill his stomach. In the past two days, he hardly had a bite of food.

Suddenly, he saw a steamed buns shop. The aroma of meat was so tempting that Duan Tianyang couldn't help swallowing his saliva and slowly walked closer.
