Chapter 257 – Enemy Attack?
Because she had exhausted her soul force, Xiao Ning’er’s entire body felt weak without an ounce of strength left. Her beautiful face was drenched in sweat and she looked a little pale.
At the same time, Nie Li felt as though he was experiencing a long dream. Within the dream, he watched his family, lover, and friends die one by one as he helplessly stood by. Then, once he had obtained a method to revive them, the Sage Emperor proceeded to extinguish all his hopes. In the end, he was left all alone to die a bitter death.
Because of the mysterious Temporal Demon Spirit Book, he was resurrected and was given a second chance.
However, the cause of all these events, the Temporal Demon Spirit book, was now missing.
As he thought about it, Nie Li felt his head ache even more. He couldn’t understand what was going on.
He dreamed that just as he was about to grab the Temporal Demon Spirit Book, it turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the vast sky.
The Temporal Demon Spirit Book was the fundamental cause of everything that currently existed. Could it be that when he came back to life, he was resurrected into a different timeline, one that didn’t contain the existence of the Temporal Demon Spirit Book?
The intense pain in his head slowly caused him to regain consciousness. As he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Ning’er sobbing by his bedside. She wore a pink dress and had tear stains on her face, showing quite a pitiful sight. Down from her pearly white neck was her delicate and jade-like collarbone.
“Cough, cough.” Nie Li coughed in embarrassment as he immediately shifted his gaze elsewhere.
Xiao Ning’er, who has been crying with her head down, suddenly sat up stunned. She immediately raised her head as joy flashed through her eyes. She looked at Nie Li dumbfoundedly for a moment and then pounced on him.
“Nie Li, you’re awake?” Xiao Ning’er tightly hugged Nie Li. All of this felt like a dream, which scared her. Nie Li had been unconscious for a long time and Xiao Ning’er was worried that he would never regain consciousness.
A fragrance and softness entered Nie Li’s embrace. He was stunned for a brief moment as a trace of gentleness flashed through his eyes. Although he didn’t know how long he has been out for, he had an idea that it was for a fairly long time, since Xiao Ning’er looked like she’d almost worried herself to death. He tenderly patted her on the back as the light scent of a lady drifted to him. While he was out, Xiao Ning’er must have almost worried herself to death!
Feeling Nie Li’s body warmth, Xiao Ning’er was now assured that she wasn’t dreaming. The hug left a blush on her face, but she still wasn’t willing to let go of him. She sensed that tenderness and felt that at this moment, Nie Li belonged to her.
Suddenly, two figures rushed into the room.
At the sight of the two embracing, Xiao Xue immediately turned her head and said, “I saw nothing, the two of you should continue.”
Raising his head to looked at Ye Ziyun, Nie Li immediately become a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to explain the situation to her, he noticed the tear streaks on her face. The expression in her eyes wasn’t jealousy but a kind of joy, like two people meeting again after so long. She walked towards Nie Li and sat in the chair at the head of the bed.
As long as Nie Li was alive, nothing else mattered. During the time that Nie Li was out, Ye Ziyun already thought through it all. If he could regain consciousness, she would never fight with Xiao Ning’er again. In the face of death, what does the rest matter?
When he saw Ye Ziyun sit by the bed with a tearful look, Nie Li felt as though his heart was about to melt from her gentle gaze. It could be said that the heavens have granted him grace by letting him meet her again in this life.
He reached out and took Ye Ziyun into his arms as his eyes filled with tears as well.
Having experienced all the turmoils of his previous life, the one thing that Nie Li feared the most was that everything he was experiencing now was only a dream. However, now that he beheld the two girls before him, he could assure himself that he was indeed alive in this world.
Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning’er actually weren’t fighting. Xiao Xue stared dumbfoundedly as the gears in her brain stopped turning from shock. However, now that she thought about it, it actually made sense. Indeed, as long as they were alive, nothing was more important. In this turbulent world, no one knew if they would still be living in the next moment. Therefore, the most important thing would be to enjoy the present with the person that’s most important.
At this time, Duan Jian, Lu Piao, Du Ze, and the rest arrived as well. Upon entering the room, their eyes widened when they saw Nie Li being embraced with one beauty on each arm.
Lu Piao scratched his head. “Damn! This bastard Nie Li is really outrageous!”
