Chapter 326: Chapter 326

Lin Xiao's face was growing pale, and his breath was getting weaker.

The cries of the three girls grew increasingly intense. They held on tightly to the man they loved, whose body was growing ever colder.

Lu Yingying sobbed, "Eldest Senior Brother, you can't die! Without you, Yingying doesn't know how to live, SOB, SOB, SOB, SOB..."

Guo Yourong pleaded, "Eldest Senior Brother! You must hang on! Master... she will surely save you!"

Chu Youwei added, "Yes! Eldest Senior Brother! As long as you're okay, Weiwei can go back to being the good girl she used to be!"

"You all... move aside!"

Xiao Hongling, with moist eyes, snatched her beloved disciple's body and gritted her teeth, saying, "Now! I'm taking your Eldest Senior Brother to Mount Taicang to find the Pill Sage for treatment! You all must stop acting ! Do you understand?"

As soon as she had finished speaking, a weak voice was heard from nearby.

"It's unnecessary, Master."

"My heart and meridians are both burnt. Death is inevitable."

"Looking back on my life, I've spent it all in the company of my junior sisters and Master. Therefore, I have few regrets. The only thing I worry about is..."

He said this and with difficulty turned his gaze towards the three girls. "My junior sisters, Eldest Senior Brother won't be able to make it. But before I go, I wish for you all to promise me one thing... This is my last wish. Can you grant it?" Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel[f]ire.net

"Eldest Senior Brother, just say it! We promise to listen and obey!"

Seeing their Eldest Senior Brother's pleading eyes, the three girls' hearts ached unbearably. They choked back their tears and nodded.

"Good, good… You are all Eldest Senior Brother's beloved junior sisters..."

Feeling his life force ebbing, Lin Xiao kept one hand hidden beneath him, tightly gripping the Forever Cicada. His other hand rose with difficulty to lightly touch their tear-streaked, soft faces.

"At this moment, Eldest Senior Brother has no other wishes. I only hope that after I am gone, no matter what happens, you all must stay united and support each other against any adversity, just as you did when you were children. As for your Eldest Senior Brother..."

"If there is harmony among you sisters, I will become a star, secretly observing you from the sky. My heart will feel comforted then…"

"Can you? This is Eldest Senior Brother's last request..."

As fresh blood kept gushing from his chest, Lin Xiao's body convulsed uncontrollably. Using his last bit of strength, he roared, "Can you? Answer me loud and clear! If you still fight amongst yourselves after I'm gone, Eldest Senior Brother will... not be able to rest in peace!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongling's expression became even more grief-stricken.

Her disciple... he was truly the most tender and kind man in this world...

A man of such upright character, so talented and handsome, yet she had unknowingly given his affections to someone else...

Who was she, the renowned Fairy Hongling of the Eastern Region? She was simply the world's biggest fool!

And now... it was too late for regrets!

She knew better than anyone that this self-inflicted sword wound had severed all hope of his survival. Not even the reputed Pill Sage, let alone the founder of Qinglan, were he still alive, could save him.

"Xiao'er, your Master... Your Master has failed you."

At this moment, she burst into tears once again, holding on even tighter to the gradually cooling body of her beloved disciple.

On the other side, the three girls, hand in hand, knelt down together.

"Eldest Senior Brother! We... we promise you!"

"Please don't be upset anymore! SOB, SOB, SOB, SOB..."

All three girls cried out together.

"Eldest Senior Brother! Rest assured! From today onward, we three sisters will stay united and support each other, with no more discord! But, you also must get better, okay?"

Guo Yourong, her face stained with tears, said this as she reached out to hold her junior sisters' hands.

Chu Youwei and Lu Yingying hesitated for a second, but upon seeing their Eldest Senior Brother's hopeful expression, they both grasped their senior sister's hand tightly!

"Eldest Senior Brother, we swear!"

"We three sisters vow to reconcile and support each other forever, walking together on the path of immortality!"

"Good, very good. To have such clever and quick-witted junior sisters in this lifetime, I, Lin Xiao, die without regrets."

Lin Xiao's pale lips revealed a satisfied smile. No longer able to hold on, he slowly closed his eyes.

In the final moment before his consciousness faded, he tightened his grip on the Forever Cicada in his hand and crushed it completely. Endless life essence silently infiltrated his body through his palm...

Damn, finally a flawless playthrough. Next up, a Reincarnation of Rotten Earth to give them a big surprise!

This Forever Cicada is the only ten-thousand-year divine herb I have obtained so far. According to its description, it can even bring the dead back to life under Heavenly Tribulation. I hope this time everyone will be okay.

Lin Xiao prayed inwardly.

His consciousness was gradually fading. At the last moment, the memories of both lifetimes manifested as tiny fragments, floating in his mind. The next moment, as his consciousness dissipated completely, everything shattered and collapsed. Simultaneously, a radiant light of life began to glow slowly within his not-yet-extinguished sea of consciousness.

Hey? Am I freaking alive again! The thought revived, and Lin Xiao found that his consciousness had miraculously survived!

Perhaps because the medicinal power of the Forever Cicada had not yet dispersed throughout his limbs and constitution, his body was temporarily stiff, in a state of near-death!

At this moment, he could clearly hear the sobbing of his junior sisters and Master, but he couldn't open his eyes at all!

Alright, then I'll just wait. A reunion after a long separation will make the surprise even better!
