Chapter 176 The Trigrams of March 7th
the other side.
March 7th moved quickly and soon cleaned the room next door spotless.
Those were originally spare guest rooms on the train.
Although it wasn't large, it had everything: a bed, a table and chairs, and a wardrobe.
Outside the window is a vast and boundless sea of stars; the view is quite beautiful.
"Sister Baiheng, please stay here for now!"
"I've put the clothes on the bed, see if they fit!"
March 7th, like a cheerful little bird, pulled Bai Heng around the room, enthusiastically introducing the place.
Xing followed behind, holding a cup of hot milk: "Have something to drink to warm up."
"Thank you." Bai Heng accepted the milk.
Feeling the warmth in my palm, a warm current surged through my heart.
She looked at the two lively and lovely girls.
One has lively pink hair, the other has serene gray hair.
At this moment, both of them were looking at him with a curious yet friendly gaze.
"Are you... Lu Li's friends?" Bai Heng asked after thinking for a moment.
"Friends? We're not friends!" March 7th immediately retorted, then puffed out her chest triumphantly, "We're family!"
"Yes, they are companions, they are family," Xing added from the side.
"Family..." Bai Heng murmured, his eyes somewhat dazed.
Once upon a time, the Five Warriors of the Cloud were just like that.
More than friends or partners, their relationship is like that of family.
But now...
Jingyuan, Danfeng, Yingxing, Jingliu... how are they all?
"Sister Baiheng, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Sanyueqi asked with some concern when she suddenly fell silent.
"Oh, no."
Bai Heng snapped out of his reverie, shook his head, and smiled. "I was just... thinking about some things from the past."
"Speaking of Sister Baiheng," Sanyueqi said, her eyes shining as she looked at Baiheng holding the milk, "do you still remember the last thing?"
The scene of Lu Li rushing into Guixu when it was activated was truly breathtaking, and she was eager to know what Bai Heng, the person involved, thought.
"Hey, March 7th!" But before Bai Heng could speak, Xing hurriedly tugged at March 7th.
March 7th realized what was happening: "Ah, I'm sorry, Sister Baiheng, I didn't mean to..."
She then remembered that Bai Heng had only just learned that seven hundred years had passed since then.
Asking these questions now is just like poking Bai Heng's sore spot.
However, looking at the worried expressions on their faces...
Bai Heng didn't seem to mind, and instead smiled and said, "It's alright."
"After all, although you say that seven hundred years have passed, I don't really feel anything now. For me, those things are just yesterday."
"But do you remember the last thing...?"
Bai Heng held the teacup, his gaze somewhat unfocused, as if lost in memories.
"Finally... I remember... it was the battle with Shuhu."
March 7th and Xing quieted down and listened attentively.
Bai Heng's voice was very soft, with a hint of dazedness.
"General Teng Xiao is dead, Ying Xing is covered in wounds, Dan Feng and Jing Liu have reached their limits, and even Lu Li is... We simply cannot kill it."
"Then... I took out 'Return to the Void'."
Return to the Ruins...
March 7th and Xing exchanged a glance.
After Walter's explanation, they naturally knew what it was.
Xing looked at Bai Heng and said softly, "Weren't you scared back then?"
"after all……"
"Of course I'm scared." Bai Heng smiled, understanding Xing's meaning. "I also know that using it will definitely kill me."
"But... there was no other way at the time."
"After all, someone has to do this kind of thing, right?"
Bai Heng gazed at the starry sky outside the window and murmured absently, "General Teng Xiao, the fallen Yun cavalry... since someone has to do it, why can't that person be me?"
"I am one of the Five Heroes of the Clouds, and it is my responsibility to protect the Immortal Ship... However, more than protecting the Immortal Ship, I actually wanted to protect everyone in the Five Heroes of the Clouds at that time."
"Looking back now, I realize that feelings are truly a wondrous thing."
"It actually gave me, someone who's weak and timid, that kind of courage..."
March 7th clenched her fist and waved it: "Sister Baiheng, you're not a coward! You're very capable!"
Xing nodded and looked at Bai Heng earnestly, saying, "You are the bravest person we have ever met."
Bai Heng was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then looked a little embarrassed: "Brave... This is truly the first time I've heard someone describe me like that."
"Thank you anyway..."
"Anyway, just as I was about to activate it... Lu Li appeared."
Bai Heng's gaze shifted towards Lu Li's room, recalling that final scene.
He held my hand down and stood in front of me.
"I remember he seemed to smile at me, and then said..."
Bai Heng suddenly paused, recalling what Lu Li had said to her back then.
I was in the thick of it all and thought they were all going to die, so I didn't think much about it... although I didn't have time to think much about it anyway.
But now they've both survived.
After calming down and thinking about it carefully...
That, that's not...!
Bai Heng's face immediately turned red, and he couldn't continue speaking.
But March 7th and Xing, who were listening intently, didn't care about any of that.
After all, looking at it from the sky is just looking.
But the person involved told a completely different story!
On March 7th, his eyes seemed to be shining as he looked at Bai Heng: "What did he say back then?"
Looking into their shining eyes.
Bai Heng: "..."
It seems there's no way to avoid it.
Bai Heng blushed and whispered, "He said, 'Don't be afraid, even if I die, I will... always be with you.'"
After saying that, Bai Heng covered his face in embarrassment.
What was she forced to say?!
Meanwhile, the two people next to them were so excited that they covered their faces and screamed, writhing together in a ball.
Although she has never been in a relationship, Bai Heng is no longer a young girl.
She quickly composed herself, coughed twice, and said, "Anyway, I'll continue."
"In short, after saying that, Lu Li hugged me and we were both swallowed up by the activated Ruins of Return."
"Then I don't know anything anymore until I just woke up."
"It felt like I had a very long dream, but it also felt like only a second had passed... It was a very strange feeling."
The two people standing nearby listened with complete satisfaction.
After all, nothing is more satisfying than hearing the person involved recount that scene.
Bai Heng changed the subject.
"Speaking of which..."
Bai Heng looked at the stars rushing past the window, somewhat puzzled: "Where...where are we going now?"
March 7th answered matter-of-factly, "We are performing a space jump, preparing to travel to the Immortal Ship Luofu!"
"The Immortal Boat Luofu..." Bai Heng's body trembled slightly, and he almost dropped the milk cup in his hand.
Luofu...
That's where we met, fought, and grew together.
Finally... this is the place where I thought I would be buried.
