Online Game: Evil Dragon Against The Heaven - 280
“Tell me how to wake her up first.” Ye Tian Xie forcefully pushed aside the sinful images in his mind, and said to Guo Guo with a serious face.
“…Nope. Master has to promise Guo Guo first.” Guo Guo would never do a losing deal—every time she blackmailed Ye Tian Xie, she had never once failed.
“Alright… I’ll let you have it tonight.” Ye Tian Xie said helplessly.
“Waa~ Master is the best…” Guo Guo finally laughed happily and smugly, then bit her finger as she thought seriously again, “Dragon blood and dragon essence can quickly restore a person’s vitality, because within dragon blood and dragon crystals, there’s extremely powerful energy… even a human’s damaged life force can recover quickly…”
Dragon blood, dragon essence… dragon…
Ye Tian Xie’s mind was in chaos. But now, he absolutely wouldn’t allow himself to think wildly. This was the last shred of hope Guo Guo had given him. No matter how illusory or laughable it sounded, he had to cling onto it: “Then how do I save her… do I feed it to her?”
“Mhm, that’s right… But big sis also said that Master’s dragon power is still too weak, so the effect might not be very obvious… If you want to save someone on the brink of death, it would take a lot of blood. But as for the essence, just a tiny bit is enough.” Guo Guo said.
“Alright, I understand.”
Ye Tian Xie quickly and gently laid the unconscious Chenxue flat on the grass. Her skin was as snow-white as her name, and within that whiteness, there was a paper-like pallor. Her body still retained a final trace of warmth… also the last sliver of life force, bearing Ye Tian Xie’s final hope.
He carefully pried apart Chenxue’s lips and teeth, then pulled up a blade of grass from the ground and suddenly slashed it across his arm…
“Yaa!!” Guo Guo was so frightened she covered her eyes in an instant. After a while, she timidly peeked out.
The wound was deep. Blood streamed down, dripping into Chenxue’s mouth. Feeling that the dripping was too slow, Ye Tian Xie pressed down hard with his other hand… If he could save Xue’er, what was pain? What was blood?
“Master… does it hurt?” Guo Guo asked with a scared expression.
“No.”
“Why doesn’t Master use the essence… Just a little is enough, and it won’t hurt either.” Guo Guo asked. Then her eyes lit up, her jewel-like eyes gleaming, “Is it because there’s so little essence, so Master wants to save it for Guo Guo to drink… Uu, Master is so good to Guo Guo… Master is the best.”
Ye Tian Xie: “…”
Such extremely wicked words… yet spoken with a voice and expression that couldn’t be more innocent and pure. If Ye Tian Xie’s heart wasn’t already anchored, this kind of contrast might have very well made him lose control.
Ye Tian Xie’s physique was different from ordinary people. The wound healed quickly. He pulled up another blade of grass and cut a new wound…
As the fresh blood dripped down, he noticed that the blood that had originally entered Chenxue’s mouth was slowly trickling out from the corner of her lips.
She had no consciousness, and it was impossible for her to swallow on her own.
Every moment could determine Chenxue’s life or death. Ye Tian Xie sat down on the grass and held Chenxue in his arms, then bit down on the wound he had just made, his brows furrowed tightly as he sucked hard…
Before this, he never thought there would be a day he would be so eager to let his blood flow.
After sucking out half a mouthful, the wound healed again. He leaned down, gently pried open Chenxue’s lips with his hand, then lowered his head and softly covered her lips with his… carefully transferring it to her bit by bit, and gently blew in breath to help the blood flow into her body…
Her lips were soft and tender. That moist touch made Ye Tian Xie linger involuntarily for a moment. He looked at Chenxue’s peaceful face and smiled faintly, as if telling her: 『Xue’er, don’t die… wait for me to wake you up…』Then, he pulled another blade of grass and made another cut on his arm, immediately covering the wound with his mouth, not wanting to lose a single drop that might save her life.
One cut, two, three… six, seven…
Guo Guo finally cried out in distress.
“Uuu… Master, don’t… don’t hurt yourself anymore, it’ll hurt so bad, you’ve lost so much blood… you’ll die, you’ll die!”
But even after several cries, Ye Tian Xie still didn’t stop. On the contrary, he cut his arm even faster…
Because, in an enormous surprise—
On the seventh cut, he felt a faint beat in Chenxue’s chest…
It worked… it actually worked!
This method from a miniature girl not of this world actually produced a miracle. Why it worked—he no longer had the mind to care. His mind and heart were flooded by overwhelming joy. When she died in his arms, what he felt was heart-wrenching pain. But now, it was like soaring from hell straight to heaven.
Since his blood could truly grant her life, what was there to be stingy about?
That nearly numb pain couldn’t erase the deep hope-filled smile on his face. His left arm, aside from critical points that couldn’t be injured, was covered in nine wounds of equal length. After the left, came the right…
Ten, eleven, twelve… thirteen…
Chenxue’s heartbeat grew clearer, and the warmth of the body in his arms became increasingly distinct. At this moment, just as he had said before, he deeply thanked the heavens… grateful that the sky had left them one final shred of hope—though it came from his blood.
Ye Tian Xie was no god… Just as he was about to inflict the fourteenth wound, his brain suddenly felt dizzy from blood loss. He shook his head. The sharp blade of grass scraped against his arm… but from exhaustion, he couldn’t cut it open.
A heavy wave of dizziness surged in. His consciousness began to fade. Ye Tian Xie could no longer resist the irresistible weight—and fainted.
“Uu… Master? Master, don’t leave Guo Guo behind… Eh? Could it be Master’s already dead?”
…………
…………
His body felt incredibly heavy, as if it were being crushed beneath a massive boulder. This kind of exhaustion—he hadn’t felt it in a long time.
His mouth was parched. He really wanted some water…
“Fei Fei… I want water…” In a hazy state of sleep, he subconsciously murmured.
“Yiya! Master, you’re finally awake! Guo Guo cried for so long because of you… You can’t forget what you promised Guo Guo—lots of chocolate, lots of lollipops, and…”
Mm, Guo Guo’s voice.
From his chest came a warm sensation, as if something was tightly pressed against him. At his chest, something was moving—like a finger, drawing circles. That presence… reminded him of Chenxue (Chénxuě).
Xue’er…
Ye Tian Xie suddenly jolted awake and opened his eyes.
In that instant, he saw a pair of eyes more dazzling and beautiful than any gemstone in the world, more brilliant than any star in the night sky. His weak body and the pain in his arm confirmed it wasn’t a dream. Looking at those beautiful eyes, he smiled gently: “Xue’er…”
Chenxue had awakened, still lying against his chest, her gaze hazy as she stared at him, not knowing how long she had been silently watching. Her lips still bore traces of the blood Ye Tian Xie had passed to her, yet it didn’t tarnish the elven-like beauty of her delicate face one bit.
“Big brother… I won’t ever leave you again. Never, ever.” Chenxue held him tightly, speaking in a soft voice. Though faint, it no longer carried that fragile tone that vanished like the wind.
Her eyes were clear and crystalline, no longer dim or lifeless. Her tender face was still snow-white, but had nearly shed all its pallor, making her look like a freshly carved sculpture of snowy jade—unreal and flawless, a dreamlike vision… but this was no dream.
She had been reborn… pulled back from death. She knew the price of that new life—and it was something she could only repay with a lifetime of unwavering devotion.
“Mhm…” Ye Tian Xie responded softly. Though exhausted, and wanting nothing more than to sleep again, his heart felt indescribably light and content. Watching her die had been an agonizing helplessness—but now, her awakening brought joy a thousand times stronger… like rising from hell to heaven.
“Just now, I had a dream. A strange dream… I was about to leave, never to return… I really didn’t want to. I hadn’t even said goodbye to big sister… I didn’t want to see big sister or big brother sad… I still wanted to stay by big brother’s side, to always be held by him…”
“But… I couldn’t go back…”
“But then… big brother suddenly appeared in front of me. He was calling out to me, telling me to wait for him to bring me back… Then, he started hurting himself, over and over… giving his blood to me, little by little… feeding me so much, so much… That’s when I started to feel death slipping away. I smelled the scent of grass… and when I finally had the strength to open my eyes, big brother was already so tired… he had fallen asleep.”
With each word, a tear fell from Chenxue’s eyes. She reached out her small, pale hand, lightly touching the shocking wounds on his arm with trembling fingers, and asked through her sobs: “Does it hurt…”
“Not at all.” Ye Tian Xie smiled, and gently held her little hand. “Xue’er, as long as you can wake up, even if it did hurt, I wouldn’t feel a thing… Xue’er, let this be our little secret, okay?”
Xue’er’s vitality was now so vibrant… His blood had truly brought the dying Chenxue back—restoring not just her consciousness, but her energy too.
Dragon blood…
This defied all logic.
In the world of 《Destiny》, he had mysteriously become the 『Rebellious Evil Dragon (逆骨邪龙, Nì Gǔ Xié Lóng)』… People there said his power was dragon power. If that was just part of a game’s system—then what was Guo Guo talking about when she said 『dragon blood』?
“Mhm… this is a secret between me and big brother. Forever, just the two of us will know.” Chenxue nodded firmly, smiling through her tears.
