Chapter 129
byTime seemed to freeze at this moment.
The shocked and dazed eyes of hundreds of people had not yet regained clarity, and the cries of surprise had just come out of their mouths.
The red light left after the figure ran had not dissipated either. Along the moving trajectory of this red light, it could be clearly seen from where this person rushed out and from where he jumped up to catch Su Yan’s falling body.
The huge turtle-shaped monster was charging over like a flash of lightning.
Less than one zhang in front of the turtle-shaped monster beast, a man and a woman were tightly snuggling together. Looking at these two figures, one could clearly see a kind of determination and unwavering ness to live and die together.
At this moment, Yang Kai’s and Su Yan’s gazes met.
A hint of surprise and astonishment flashed in the latter’s beautiful eyes, while there was only a trace of pity and sadness in the former’s eyes.
This kind of gaze made Su Yan’s heart tremble. No one had ever looked at her with such a gaze. When the elders looked at her, there was only gratification and approval. When the peers looked at her, there was only admiration and respect. When the juniors looked at her, there was only admiration and worship. Perhaps there were also people who had looked at her with jealous and envious eyes.
But this kind of gaze of pity and sadness was the first time in Su Yan’s life that she had seen.
She was talented and beautiful woman, and no one was qualified to look at her like this.
Was he pitying himself？ What was he sad about？ This faint pain was like a sharp needle, piercing through Su Yan’s frozen body and mind, making her heart couldn’t help but ache.
At this moment, she seemed to be able to feel why he was sad.
But… so warm！ This person’s body is very warm. In her entire life, Su Yan had never experienced such a warm feeling. It was as if her entire being was about to melt. Having cultivated the Ice Heart Art, she had frozen her body, mind, and all emotions. In her world, there was only coldness, only frigidity, and nothing else.
Cold and warm were originally incompatible and opposed. She should have felt disgusted by the scorching warmth on his body. Why did she now has a feeling of reluctance to leave? Just being held by him like this, even if the sea dried up and the rocks crumbled, even if the sky fell and the earth cracked she didn’t want to move a single finger.
Involuntarily, Su Yan tightened her grip on Yang Kai’s clothes with her hand.
Time passed once again.
“It’s Yang Kai！” Hu Jiao’er exclaimed in surprise. She simply didn’t notice when exactly Yang Kai had rushed out. Just now, she had also been shocked by the earth-shattering means that Su Yan had displayed. By the time she reacted, Yang Kai was no longer in sight beside her.
Hu Meier quickly covered her mouth, suppressing that scream, and her eyes trembled violently as she looked at the front of the turtle-shaped monster beast, for fear of seeing a scene that she didn’t want to see.
“Courting death！” Long Jun coldly snorted.
The next moment, the ice-sealed turtle-shaped monster charged at Yang Kai’s arched back. Although Yang Kai had done his best to deflect his body and make some evasive movements when he jumped, his strength was too low at the moment and he simply couldn’t fly. Moreover, he had used his upward momentum to resolve Su Yan’s downward trend, causing the two of them to almost freeze in the air for an instant.
So this collision was inevitable.
Just as the turtle-shaped monster made contact with Yang Kai, his arched back also thrust forward, taking advantage of this little bit of buffered time to minimize his damage as much as possible.
With a bang… Yang Kai and Su Yan were like cannonballs fired from a barrel, directly being knocked flying. They flew dozens of zhang away before slowly falling towards the ground.
The two of them were hugging each other and rolling like a gourd. They rolled another dozen zhang or so before the impact force on their bodies gradually disappeared.
The rolling body finally stopped. Yang Kai was in a sorry state, his face as pale as gold paper. However, Su Yan, who was pressed beneath him, was unharmed. Only her white clothes were a little dirty and her hair was much messier.
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Yang Kai almost lost all his strength and fell headfirst onto Su Yan’s chest.
Su Yan’s beautiful eyes trembled, and her heart, which rarely had any fluctuations, could no longer remain calm at this moment. She slowly stretched out a hand and gently placed it on Yang Kai’s head, as if stroking, as if comforting, without moving at all.
Just now during the tumbling, Yang Kai protected her with his own body. Almost all the remaining force of the impact was resolved by his body alone. Su Yan herself didn’t even collide with the ground.
Chi… The ice-sealed turtle-shaped monster beast brought out a tooth-aching friction sound, plowing a deep gully on the ground, sliding dozens of zhang away, and then gradually stopped, settling in a position not far from Yang Kai and Su Yan.
The world was quiet. and everyone held their breath, staring blankly at the man and woman who were lying on the ground and tightly hugging each other.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing would probably arouse the public anger of countless people. No man could be so disrespectful to Su Yan. Every inch of her skin was sacred and noble. The world could only look up at her and could only observe from a distance and not desecrate her.
But at this moment, not only was there a man lying on her, but that man even buried his head in Su Yan’s chest, smelling her body fragrance and feeling her softness.
Nevertheless, no one felt that there was anything inappropriate.
For a dead person, can you be angry？
What’s there to be angry about regarding a dead person. He risked his life to save Su Yan, and this is the momentary favor he should enjoy before his death.
Everyone felt that under the impact of that brute force, Yang Kai was surely dead.
Only Xie Hongchen, when seeing this scene, had a pair of eyeballs turn red.
Last time he witnessed with his own eyes Yang Kai playing with Su Yan’s jade hand, which already made him insanely jealous. It was like a nightmare lingering in his mind, and every time he thought of it, his heart would ache like a knife was twisting. And this time this person was even more excessive, actually doing such a thing in public. How could he endure it？
Xie Hongchen’s full of resentment and anger surged out like a flood breaking through a dyke, almost making him lose his rationality. In the eyes staring at Yang Kai, the thick killing intent spread wantonly.
Su Yan, who was lying beneath Yang Kai, slowly raised her eyes from a distance of over a hundred zhang and coldly glanced at him.
Xie Hongchen trembled all over and suddenly woke up. When looking down again, there was only full of remorse and remorse in his heart!
If it was himself who risked his life to save Su Yan just now, wouldn’t it be himself enjoying this kind of thing now？ With his own strength, even if he was hit by that turtle-shaped monster beast, he definitely wouldn’t die, at most it would be a serious injury.
Exchanging a serious injury for Su Yan’s favor, this deal is extremely cost-effective no matter how you calculate it.
Why? Why couldn’t he react in time? Why was he only immersed in the huge illusory shadow of Su Yan at that time and ignored the crisis of her herself?
Why wasn’t this person affected by that illusory shadow？
Such a great opportunity was actually missed in vain！
The strong wind blew, and the world was desolate.
It blew Su Yan’s hair and blew up Yang Kai’s robe, making a loud rustling sound in the strong wind.
No one dared to step forward, and everyone stopped in place.
Su Yan’s eyes looked up at the chaotic sky, and a soft humming song like a whisper sounded from her mouth. This song could not be heard by others. Only it was transmitted into Yang Kai’s ears.
The song was ethereal, with a hint of longing in the coldness.
Accompanied by the song, her hand gently patted Yang Kai’s head again and again, just like a dutiful mother coaxing a child to sleep peacefully.
Beside them, the huge turtle-shaped monster raised its front limbs. Its ferocious face was frozen in the ice, as if it would crush the Su Yan and Yang Kai below into minced meat at any time.
This was a scene like a poem and a painting, but it revealed a desolate and beautiful charm.
After singing a song, Su Yan’s action stopped, and she exhaled a breath. The fragrant wind blew Yang Kai’s sideburns, and she said softly, “Get up when you have recovered.”
“What tune is this？” Yang Kai didn’t move at all, only a faint voice came over, and the voice was weak. It wasn’t fake.
Su Yan was silent for a long time before she said, “I don’t know. It’s a tune that’s in my memory.”
“It’s very nice.” Yang Kai slowly raised his head. There was blood at the corner of his mouth, his face was pale, and his body trembled, but he supported himself little by little.
Su Yan glanced at him lightly. All the emotions that had originally existed in her eyes disappeared without a trace at this moment, and only the bone-chilling cold was left.
Yang Kai sighed slightly, knowing that this senior sister had forcibly calmed the ripples in her heart and made that pool of heart lake return to calm again.
He stretched out his hand and gestured to her.
Su Yan handed over her small hand and, with the help of Yang Kai’s pull, slowly got up.
She brushed the messy green silk beside her face and pinned them behind her ears. At this moment, although Su Yan was covered in dust and her hair was slightly disheveled, what remained unchanged was her sacred and inviolable temperament.
“How is it possible？” The shocked shouts finally rang out, and then they were connected into a piece. Everyone looked at Yang Kai in disbelief.
This man who they originally thought was bound to die. At this moment, he was actually standing up intact. Although he looked miserable and desolate, there was no danger to his life at all.
Is his body made of iron？ After taking such a hit, he’s still not dead？
On the Blood Battle Gang’s side, Long Jun couldn’t help but be moved.
Hu Jiao’er and Hu Mei’er also couldn’t hold back a heavy gasp. There was a relieved smile on Hu Mei’er’s face, and there was a hint of tears in the corner of her eyes. She murmured involuntarily as if losing her voice： “That’s great, that’s great.”
As she spoke, she actually covered her mouth and choked up.
Hu Jiao’er was stunned. She reached out and wiped the corner of her own eye, where a tear also streaked across.
What’s going on? Hu Jiao’er was stunned on the spot. Although she didn’t hate Yang Kai anymore and was also worried and nervous about the thrilling scene just now, Hu Jiao’er knew that most people’s feelings were the same as her own, and no one would be indifferent.
But she wouldn’t cry with joy just because a not-too-familiar man escaped from death, right？
Moreover, although she didn’t hate that Yang Kai now, she didn’t have a good impression of him either.
Looking at her younger sister, Hu Jiao’er could almost clearly feel the relief and relaxation after the great tension in her heart. This feeling was like having it herself, and she could deeply understand it.
So that’s it! A hint of relief and a hint of confusion flashed in Hu Jiao’er’s eyes.
On the Wind and Rain Tower’s side, Fang Ziqi’s eyes shone brightly, and he said, “Junior Sister Du, he’s not dead！”
Du Yishuang’s excited face was flushed, and she patted her chest and said, “Just now it scared me. If he died, it would be a pity. This person is not bad.”
In Lingxiao Pavilion, Xie Hongchen’s expression was ashen, and there was no light in his eyes.
He was heartbroken for not seizing the opportunity just now, and even more jealous and hateful for Yang Kai’s good fortune with women. He was like a general who had lost a big battle and had lost the ability to think.
