Chapter 2 Living towards death
"Dr. Ling, come over for dinner tonight! I heard you've been working overtime for several days and just got home. You should definitely eat something good to nourish yourself."
“Okay! I’ll buy the groceries this afternoon. Aunt Wang, you know my cooking skills. If I make chicken soup at home, even the old hen will feel like she died with regrets.”
"Hey... that won't do! I'll buy it..."
"That won't do..."
After arguing for a while, the two finally decided that Ling Yunxiao would buy the groceries and Wang Fang would cook.
Before leaving, Ling Yunxiao petted the little black dog a couple of times, thinking to himself with a pleased feeling that the Devouring Moon God felt quite nice.
That evening, when dinner was served, Ling Yunxiao had just finished tutoring Yang Jin with his homework. At that moment, Lin Qiye had not yet returned, and Ling Yunxiao had a bad feeling.
"So bright!"
"what is that?"
A pillar of light shot into the sky not far away. Ling Yunxiao stood up and walked to the window. He knew this was the light of Lin Qiye's Mortal Divine Realm, but whether it was newly awakened or its umpteenth use was unknown. Wasn't Wang Fang on the night shift when Qiye first awakened?
Ling Yunxiao frowned and returned to the table, deciding to ask for clarification.
"Where is Qiye?!"
"Today is my brother's first day of school, he probably won't be back for a while."
Yang Jin's answer reassured Ling Yunxiao considerably; thankfully, they had made it in time. A short while later, Lin Qiye, looking somewhat disheveled, returned and paused, surprised to see his aunt and Ling Yun at home.
"Seven Nights, what's wrong? Where's your guide cane?"
"I just tripped and fell, and I lost my guide cane. Auntie, I'm okay."
"Aunt Wang, let me take a look at Qi Ye!"
"Yes, yes... Qi Ye, please let Dr. Ling take a look."
Qi Ye reluctantly led Ling Yunxiao into his room. Ling Yunxiao stopped Wang Fang, who was about to follow, and gently closed the door.
"Aunt Wang, please wait at the door,"
"Dr. Ling, I'm just going to get my wound treated in a bit. Don't let my aunt see me; she'll worry."
"Okay, but you'll be coming to my house later, and I'll put some medicated wine on it for you. Now, get up, wash your hands, and eat. Don't let your aunt worry."
Ling Yunxiao smiled faintly. Lin Qiye's heart was still unsettled, but he knew he should go out to eat. When he saw the sumptuous meal, he glanced at Ling Yunxiao again.
After a warm and peaceful meal.
"Seven Nights, please take me home! I have two bags of rice from the yard that are about to expire. You have a lot of family members, please help me."
Before Wang Fang could refuse, Ling Yunxiao had already taken Qi Ye out the door. After buying two bags of rice in front of him, he took him home and applied some medicinal wine to his skin.
"Young people are impulsive, but don't be reckless. You're still young, don't ruin your life over a small thing."
"No, Brother Ling, are you taking me for a petty thug who gets into fights?"
"You're not going to tell me that the footprints on your back were from a fall, are you? Or that some brat bullied you?"
Lin Qiye was slightly taken aback, then a mischievous smile appeared on his face.
"Brother Ling, if I told you this was kicked by a monster, and I killed it, would you believe me?"
"Hmm, I believe you... There's Ultraman behind that big monster, right? Go home already!"
Ling Yunxiao smiled perfunctorily, stuffed the two bags into Lin Qiye's hands, opened the door, and pushed him out.
Lin Qiye sighed helplessly. He really was being treated like a thug! Fortunately, Dr. Ling was a very kind person and wouldn't say anything out of turn.
After seeing Lin Qiye off, Ling Yunxiao looked up at the bright moon outside the window. He wondered how much life and death power the one on the moon possessed, whether it was enough to unlock the Six Paths. Then, he shook his head. He figured he couldn't possibly defeat him, and even if he could, it probably wouldn't be enough.
Two days later, on a rainy night.
Ling Yunxiao stared intently at Lin Qiye's house. After watching Zhao Kongcheng leave, he tensed up, ready to go.
This person absolutely must be saved, but Lin Qiye needs to be given a certain amount of stimulation first.
Soon, he saw Qiye rush out of the house and run into the rain.
Ling Yunxiao was prepared and followed closely behind. Qi Ye was running too fast and didn't notice what was behind him.
Ling Yunxiao was shocked to discover a tragic truth: he couldn't catch up. Even after awakening his Wu Clan bloodline, he still couldn't outrun Lin Qiye, who had activated the Starry Night Dancer technique.
Fortunately, he didn't lose track of him. By the time he arrived, Zhao Kongcheng had just collapsed, and Lin Qiye had also entered berserk mode.
"Seven Nights, stop! Don't kill it!!"
Ling Yunxiao shouted and quickly picked up Zhao Kongcheng. Lin Qiye glanced back at Ling Yunxiao, but didn't stop!
"Give me this monster, I need it to save this person!"
Qi Ye paused slightly before finally stopping his attack, then picked up the dying Ghost Face King and slammed him heavily in front of Ling Yunwu.
Ling Yunxiao picked up Zhao Kongcheng's Star Blade from the ground, placed one hand on Zhao Kongcheng's forehead, and with the other hand, gripped the blade and plunged it into the Ghost-Faced King's brain with all his might.
"Live in the face of death!"
The already gloomy night sky seemed to darken even further. A goddess with a human head and a serpent's body slowly emerged in the sky, so kind and peaceful. As the goddess gently raised her hand, Zhao Kongcheng, whose body had already cooled after using the Ghost God's Guide, suddenly sat up, panting heavily.
He looked up at the goddess who was slowly disappearing, then at Lin Qiye and Ling Yunxiao beside him.
"You saved me? You actually brought me back to life. I, Zhao Kongcheng, actually protected two divine agents at once, how utterly insane..."
"Cough cough..."
Ling Yunxiao coughed violently, feeling completely drained, and the book seemed to have changed somewhat. However, he didn't have time to look at it now. After his breathing gradually calmed down, he looked at Lin Qiye.
"So you were really fighting such a powerful monster the other day?"
"Brother Ling, those were just two weak monsters back then, they weren't this strong."
Lin Qiye explained softly, his eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at the two people in front of him.
At the same time, the Cangnan 136 team finally arrived. Hongying saw Zhao Kongcheng still smiling, and with tears in her eyes, she ran over and slapped him hard on the shoulder.
"Old Zhao, you scared me to death! Thank goodness you're alright, otherwise I would have definitely beaten you to death."
"Was that divine ruin yours just now?"
Chen Muye had already walked up to Ling Yunxiao, his eyes filled with surprise.
Ling Yunxiao nodded in acknowledgment; there was nothing he couldn't admit.
Many people saw the phantom just now. Although it is not in any known sequence, or even in the pantheon of Chinese deities, almost no Chinese person would say they don't know that it is their Xia god. Moreover, it is a powerful ancient god known to every household.
"Let's talk about it when we get back!"
Chen Muye spoke, but Zhao Kongcheng and Ling Yunxiao both looked at Lin Qiye at the same time.
"Let's go. I'd also like to visit your base."
Lin Qiye nodded. He had never felt danger so close to his family. Moreover, although Zhao Kongcheng had been resurrected, he would not forget what Zhao Kongcheng had done for himself and his family.
