Chapter 4730
The night wind howled, and the black cloak on Fen Gu's body fluttered, just like his restless mind.
Zhang Yi spoke calmly: "Fen Gu, I want to ask you a question."
Fen Gu glanced at him coldly, but remained silent.
"Knowing it's all in vain," Zhang Yi's tone was calm, yet sharp as a sword, "why do you still persist? Why risk your life to protect an ending already destined for destruction?"
"You should know that after doing that kind of thing, neither the Dark Moon Empire nor the Radiant Moon Empire will let you off the hook, right?"
"After things are over here, you'll probably only have one option left: to go to the Dark Sun Forest and accompany the Night Witch."
Burning Bone remained silent for a moment, then clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
After a long while, he finally let out a cold snort.
"You don't understand at all."
His voice was deep, carrying a sense of restraint and stubbornness.
"Even if the end is destruction... even if all my efforts turn to dust, I will fight with all my might to protect her. Because that is the meaning of my life!"
Zhang Yi looked at him with deep eyes and did not argue further.
He could feel the weight in Burning Bones' words; it was an unwavering conviction that even death could not shake.
……
As night deepened, time slowly passed.
Finally, the light of dawn shone through the edge of the valley, illuminating the figures of the girl and the burning bones.
Shunliuxing leaned on Zhou Ke'er's shoulder, his eyes filled with satisfaction and affection.
"Is the day... over?"
she asked softly.
Zhang Yi stepped forward and nodded: "Yes, the agreed time has arrived. We must set off."
Shunliuxing took a deep breath, tried hard to hold back her tears, and forced a smile.
She took Fen Gu's hand and looked at Zhang Yi: "Thank you, Chaos. Thank you for letting my eyes truly see the world."
Zhou Ke'er gently hugged her, leaving her with a tender smile, burying the regret deep in her eyes, and silently returned to Zhang Yi's side.
Zhang Yi said calmly, "No need to thank me, we all have our own things to do."
He continued, "Come on, Meteor. Now it's your turn to fulfill your mission."
Gu Cheng also came over. As the Grand General of the Radiant Moon Empire, he would escort Shunliuxing there.
Fen Gu clenched his fists tightly, staring at Zhang Yi and Gu Cheng with eyes that seemed to want to devour them.
"Don't stare at me like that, it won't do you any good!"
Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"I promised the Night Witch I wouldn't harm you, but—"
He looked up at the sky; the warships of the Radiant Moon Empire had been keeping a close eye on their movements.
"They won't go easy on you."
Fen Gu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I want to go with you!"
He looked at the shooting star and said, "Wherever you go, I will always be by your side."
The spaceship's engines roared, and its metal hull gleamed coldly in the frigid moon wind.
It was a Cangyuan Clan spaceship that Lu Keran had personally modified. The ship had smooth lines and its surface was covered with energy runes and shield nodes.
At this moment, it hovered steadily at the edge of the Dark Sun Forest, and the hatch slowly opened to welcome Zhang Yi and his team.
Burning Bones stared intently at the spaceship, his eyes filled with struggle and complexity.
His ugly face was slightly contorted with pain, and his cloak fluttered in the wind.
Shunliuxing stood quietly beside him, gently holding his hands with both of hers, her gaze tender yet firm.
"Are you really going to send me to the Radiant Moon Empire?" The girl's voice was soft, yet it was like a clear spring piercing through the dead silence of the night.
Burning Bone paused, gritted his teeth, and slowly nodded: "I don't want to go back to the Dark Sun Forest. There... is only despair and escape. Even if I know the end is death, I will stay with you until the very end."
Shunliuxing's eyes were slightly moist, but she still managed a smile.
Zhang Yi watched them quietly, his gaze cold yet gentle.
