  "Fool, what are you thinking?" Xiao Qingzhu took a deep breath, and the faint scent of Du Siling's body flowed into her nostrils, calming her heart.

  "I wish time would stand still." After spending several hours together, Du Sulin seemed to be no longer awkward and his words became more relaxed.

  "Why?" Xiao Qingzhu's onion-like fingers grasped Du Siling's soft long hair, gently playing with it.

  "At this moment, I am just Du Sulin, not Taiguang, so I don't have any responsibility." Du Sulin said frankly.

  "The burden on you is too heavy." Xiao Qingzhu felt a pang of heartache, and Du Siling saw it in the mirror, she also saw it, it was hard to imagine that a child had to bear such great suffering.

  She has only one soul and one spirit.

  "No one can choose their birth, I am a member of the Du family, and I must take on the responsibilities of the Du family, and bear the hardships and pains that come with it." said Du Silin.

  Du Sulin was very weak, but Xiao Qingzhu felt that she could hold up a piece of sky.

  "Do you like me?" Suddenly, Xiao Qingzhu's words took a turn, and with one hand on the ground, she asked Du Shilin with clear eyes.

  "If liking is a kind of thought, a kind of attachment, a special one, then I think it's true." Du Si Lin pondered for a long time before organizing her words. "I shouldn't have any desires or emotions, but somehow, when it comes to you, I always have many bottom lines and things that I'm unwilling to give up."

  Xiao Qingzhu gradually discovered that Du Siling was not really inarticulate, on the contrary, she was a talkative person, but she was frugal with her words and didn't want to say much. With thoughts as transparent as Du Siling's, she had a broad view of everything in this world. She knew that three or two sentences couldn't solve any problem, it's better to be silent, and she could also feel relaxed.

  "Do you love me?" Xiao Qingzhu asked with a sly smile in her eyes.

  Du Sulin shook his head.

  She saw Xiao Qingzhu's expression stiffen and his eyes reveal a hint of sadness, her heart aching with sympathy.

  "I can't love you, not even like you." Duslin said, heaven knows how painful it was for her to say these words. "I only have one soul and body, I won't be able to stay in this world for long. Maybe next year or the year after, my life force will be damaged, and I'll disappear from this world. My future... no, I don't even have a future." As she spoke, Duslin clenched her fists, hating why it had to be her. "You... you should be cherished and loved by someone better than me, not someone without a future like me. I believe that the person who will be with you in the future is definitely an excellent person, most importantly, he's a normal human being, able to grow old together with you."

  "Duslin, must you be so self-abased?!" Xiao Qingzhu's breath was uneven as she wrapped her hands around Duslin's neck, her lips, tinged with anger, covering Duslin's.

  Du Sulin only felt a salty taste in his mouth, and when he opened his eyes, Xiao Qingzhu's elegant face was close at hand. A string of crystal tears slid down from the corners of her eyes, and in her heart, there was always an unyielding voice saying: "Du Sulin, you should bravely go and love!"

  Du Sulin closed his eyes, and his hands naturally wrapped around Xiao Qingzhu's waist, responding to Xiao Qingzhu's kiss from the bottom of his heart.

  She admitted she was weak and feared ruining Xiao Qingzhu for her own sake.

  Her biggest obstacle in her heart is a soul and a ghost.

  They didn't part until they were both out of breath. Xiao Qing lay on the grass, resting her head on Du Si Lin's arm, propping herself up with her elbow and playing with his long hair.

  "Obviously you love me, why are you hiding? Shilin, can't you be brave for once, for me?" Xiao Qingzhu asked solemnly.

  Du Sulin closed her eyes, and for the thousandth time, she asked herself if it was really possible. "Hahahaha——" Suddenly, a somewhat mournful laughter echoed across the sky, "The gentleman has feelings, the concubine has intentions, unexpectedly you still can't get past this hurdle. Since you two can't be together, then living is also suffering, Xiao Qingzhu, come, become my vessel, it's better than staying here facing a weak woman!"

  As soon as the words fell, the lawn under Xiao Qingzhu turned into a black hole. Xiao Qingzhu was caught off guard and fell down, but his hand was tightly grasped by Du Siling.

  "Qing Zhu!" Du Si Lin gritted his teeth and said to Xiao Qing Zhu, "Hold on!"

  Xiao Qingzhu looked up and met Du Siling's gaze. Those eyes, however, showed a glimmer of fear. Du Siling, are you afraid of losing me?

  The sound of footsteps echoed, and a woman wearing a small dress walked step by step towards Du Siling, until she stood in front of Du Siling, looking down at her with an air of superiority.

  "Duslin, the woman of the Du family, the master of yin and yang, is indeed different from others at first sight." She said with a hint of arrogance and provocation.

  Du Sulin didn't say a word either, she just stared at her with an unblinking gaze, as if saying "What are you going to do?"

  "You also know Xiao Qingzhu's physique, it's hard to find someone as clean as her among ordinary people. My body was destroyed, and using hers as a substitute is the best option." As she spoke, her face suddenly turned gloomy. "Back then, Du Kongyang ruined my body, but a strand of my spirit managed to escape. Now, I'll use his niece's beloved woman to make up for it, truly a case of karma, hahaha!" She laughed loudly towards the sky, but Du Shilin felt a sense of sadness hidden within that laughter.

  "I advise you to let go, if we keep pulling like this, both of us will die. Below that black hole is a huge furnace, Xiao Qingzhu is about to become my physical body, don't worry, I'll take care of it for you, and cherish this flesh." The demon spirit said with profound meaning.

  "My... body is yours." Duslin's hand had a kind of tearing pain, she took a deep breath and said.

  "Yours...?" The demon's face moved, "Can you die for her?" she said.

  "Alright." Duslin replied without hesitation.

  "Douslin, I really don't understand, you can die for her, why aren't you willing to love her?" The demon spirit sneered and said, stepping on Douslin's hand with one foot, and the sound of bones cracking could be heard.

  "Let me go, Si Lin!" Xiao Qingzhu shouted desperately.

  Du Sulin pulled Xiao Qingzhu along, his heart entirely focused on her, and he didn't even have the mental energy to use his spiritual power.

  "You only have one soul and one body, but you're still human, so why can't you go love someone? Everyone has the right to love and be loved!" The demon spirit then used all its might to kick Du Si Lin's back.

  Du Sulin gritted her teeth and persevered, knowing that this couldn't go on like this.

  "What's wrong with love between women?! Why isn't it recognized by the world?!" The demon spirit grew more and more indignant, unconsciously increasing the pressure on Du Si Lin's back.

  "Why are you so weak! Why don't you have some courage!" she said fiercely.

  "As long as two people are together, what problem can't be solved? Must go to death!" With this kick, the demon spirit kicked even harder, and Du Slin spat out a mouthful of blood.

  "Si Lin......" Xiao Qingzhu gazed at Du Si Lin, who refused to let go. She wasn't unloving towards herself, but rather too loving towards herself, wasn't she? What else was there to be concerned about? Thinking this, a smile suddenly rose on Xiao Qingzhu's face, like the brilliant colors of sunset.

  "Dou Sulin, I love you, see you in the next life." Her smiling eyes were like the crescent moon in the sky, beautiful and unmatched.

  Yes, Xiao Qingzhu let go of his own accord and broke free from Du Siling's grasp.

  Farewell, dear Slin, I hope you can live a happy and joyful life from now on.

  Xiao Qingzhu closed her eyes, a smile at the corner of her mouth, silently reciting in her heart.

  As Xiao Qingzhu fell, the black hole on the lawn also dissipated, and everything returned to its original state.

  "No——!" Du Sulin's loud cry was like a tearing of the heart and lungs, she felt that all the blood in her body was roaring, raging, yet piercingly painful.

  "Dragon God!" Her angry roar, instantly, her whole body shone with golden light, spiritual power transformed into a giant nine-clawed golden dragon, "Kill for me!" Du Siling's eyes turned red, and he used all his strength to attack the demon spirit. In an instant, the demon spirit was dispersed by the Dragon God, its soul fleeing in disarray.

  "Qing Zhu——!" In the vast sky and earth, only one person and one dragon were left, Du Si Lin loudly shouted Xiao Qing Zhu.

  "Douslin, I love you." Her mind lingered on Xiao Qing's words from before.

  At this moment, she finally recognized her heart. Yes, that demon was right, everyone has the power to love and be loved.

  She is Du Sulin, no matter how bumpy the road ahead may be, she will brave the thorns and thistles. Even if the sky falls, she will hold it up! She loves Xiao Qingzhu, so even if it means risking her own life, she will protect Xiao Qingzhu and make her smile happily for a lifetime.

  "I love you!" Du Sulin shouted desperately, but it was all too late.

  Why must she be so weak! With only one soul and one spirit, she can cultivate, she doesn't believe that her whole life can't be cultivated! Why?!

  She dug at the lawn with her hands, regardless of her own blood dripping, tears falling one by one. The divine dragon roared in the sky, shaking heaven and earth. Then it disappeared into Du Si Lin's body.

  Everything around began to collapse, and the sound of shattering glass echoed.

  "Idiot!" This was almost the most beautiful sound Duslin had ever heard, when he reappeared in the dance room, Xiao Qingzhu was standing alive and well in front of him, still with a smile that could charm the nation.

  Du Sulin couldn't believe her eyes and stood still in place. The next second, she forcefully pulled Xiao Qingzhu into her arms.

  "I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you..." She kept repeating this sentence in her mouth. Having experienced loss, Du Sulin only feared that she would never have the chance to say these three words to Xiao Qingzhu again.

  "Fool, I love you too." Xiao Qingzhu hugged Du Siling and whispered.

  In fact, the place below was not like a furnace as Youling said, but just a room. In that room, there were twenty-one missing people. Yes, twenty-one, and one of them was Bai Shaoyan, the principal who was sucked into the mirror with Xiao Qingzhu.

  Xiao Qing pulled Du Si Lin's hand, her eyes scanning the twenty-one people in front of her, muttering to herself: "What to do? How to solve this?"

  "Give me your cell phone." Du Sulin said to Xiao Qingzhu, holding out his other hand.

  "What's wrong?" Xiao Qingzhu was puzzled by Du Siling's reaction.

  "I'll help you solve it and you won't have to rack your brains," said Du Sulin with a somewhat mysterious tone.

  She took over Xiao Qingzhu's mobile phone and pressed Du Siyan's number with ease.

  "Hello." A magnetic voice responded from the other end of the phone, belonging to Du Siyan.

  "Brother." On the other end of the phone, Du Sulin called out.

  "What's wrong? What happened?" Du Siyan asked nervously. Du Silin coming to find him in the middle of the night must be something important.

  "Chen Zhou-ting is saved, the rest of the matters, you handle them." Du Si-lin said to Du Si-yan in his usual calm tone.

  "Saved?" On the other end of the phone, Du Siyan was stunned for a moment before quickly regaining his composure. "I'll get Zhou Yun to handle it right away, you get out of there as soon as possible."

  Du Siyan instructed Du Silin a few more words before hanging up the phone.

  "We should bring Bai Lao back." Xiao Qingzhu thought for a moment before saying, "He and I were both sucked in by the demon spirit together. If we leave him behind while I leave, once the police investigate thoroughly, they will definitely pester me nonstop. I don't want to rack my brains again to explain things."

  Du Sulin thought for a moment and felt that Xiao Qingzhu was right, but when she was entangled with the demon spirit before, she was trampled by the demon spirit and only felt a burning pain in her chest, and didn't know if it was a broken rib or not. She didn't have the strength to move Bai Shaoyan at all.

  As she glanced around, she inadvertently caught sight of her backpack, which had been left in the corner at some unknown time. She suddenly had an idea and smiled, telling Xiao Qingzhu to bring over the bag, from which she pulled out a bamboo tube about one finger long. With a slight movement of her fingertips, the tube was opened.

  "Master!" A young man of about twenty years old bowed to Du Sulin.

  Du Sulin waved his hand and said to the young man, "Chu Feng, possess that old man's body and follow us. Control your abilities and don't drain his vital energy!"

  "Yes, Master!" The man named Chu Feng instantly transformed into a wisp of smoke and merged into Bai Shaoyan's body.

  Bai Shaoshan's eyes also opened at this time.

  "What happened......" Xiao Qingzhu saw Du Sulin talking to the air, and Bai Shaoyan actually woke up, with a confused face.

  Du Sulin smiled and drew a golden circle in the air, which landed on Xiao Qingzhu's brow. "Look."

  Following Du Sulin's pointing direction, all I saw was that Bai Shaoyan's body actually overlapped with a handsome young man.

  "He's called Chu Feng, a ghost spirit I've raised." Du Si Lin patiently explained to Xiao Qing Zhu.

  "Chu Feng, after this matter is settled, you will follow Qing Zhu and secretly protect her." Du Si Lin said afterwards.

  "Yes, master!" Chu Feng slightly nodded his head and said in a clear and powerful voice.

  "Protect me?" Xiao Qingzhu heard this and hastily shook his head, "I don't need protection."

  "Chu Feng was a brave general who resisted the Jin dynasty, and you actually look down on him!" Du Si Lin couldn't help but feel amused, thinking that Chu Feng, who had always been proud and aloof, never thought he would be looked down upon by Xiao Qing Zhu today.

  "No, no, I didn't mean that, wouldn't it be better for him to protect you? I won't be in any danger..." Xiao Qingzhu explained.

  "What I said won't be taken back, Chu Feng, what about you?" Du Siling's words took a turn, asking Chu Feng who was standing opposite him.

  "Even if I die a thousand deaths, I will definitely protect Miss Qingzhu wholeheartedly!" Chu Feng said loudly.

  Xiao Qingzhu watched with admiration, thinking that he was indeed a general of the resistance against the Jin dynasty, and the aura of solemnity and killing intent on him was not something that the security police of today could compare to. As she thought about it, she couldn't help but take another look at Du Siling, wondering what it was that made Chu Feng so obedient to his every command.

  "Chu Feng was disillusioned with the world and didn't want to be reincarnated. By coincidence, I saved him from Wu Chang's hands and helped him cultivate into a ghost spirit. To show his gratitude, he acknowledged me as his master." Du Si Lin said, seeming to see through Xiao Qing Zhu's thoughts. "If you don't want him to protect you, I reckon his proud dignity will take a big hit." She whispered in Xiao Qing Zhu's ear.

  She actually sent Chu Feng away for another reason, hoping to follow Xiao Qingzhu and come into contact with more modernized people and things, grinding off the stubbornness of his birth era.

  "In a few days, I'll make a puppet for you, and this time you can't refuse, right?" Du Siling said with a smile, looking at Chu Feng. Chu Feng refused to be controlled by others, and was even more unwilling to have contact with humans, so he also didn't want to possess the puppet made by Du Siling.

  "Chu Feng obeys orders!" Chu Feng said calmly and composedly.

  He was actually moved, having followed Du Si Lin for almost fifteen years. He had seen everything she did and sincerely admired her; otherwise, how could he be so willing to call Du Si Lin "master"?

  "Alright, let's go quickly, or else people will arrive." Du Sulin heard the sound of the clock striking on time and said to Xiao Qingzhu with a tongue-in-cheek tone.

  This expression made Chu Feng stunned, when did Du Si Lin have such a lively and moving side?

  Tears are streaming down the bird's face, does it need an explosion for everyone to throw flowers?
