Chapter 271 - The Set Behind

Chen Ye was about to leave when I called out to him, "Chen Ye. "Thank you —"

Chen Ye waved and left.

I bit my finger and dripped my blood on the Jade Soul. Ninety-nine days.

In order to prevent Chen Ye from noticing anything strange, I quickly followed Chen Ye after feeding him the blood. I was afraid that he would see my finger being suspected, so I went to touch a rock and tripped myself up. Chen Ye read it and smeared the medicine on my face while laughing, "Can you be even more stupid?"

I didn't dare face him, I could only head to the cemetery late at night. The night wind was blowing gently, and even the bamboo wasn't as delicate and cute as it was during the day. But for Chu Yu, what was there to be afraid of?

Every time I fed Chu Yu some blood, I would always sit beside his jaded soul and chat with him, "Chu Yu, do you remember how many days it was today? It doesn't matter if you don't remember. I'll always be there, always, until you recover. "So, please hold on, wait for me, I will save you." I saw the little shadow in that jade-like soul, little by little, becoming clearer, more real, and even some pink color.

I was looking forward to the day when he would respond to me. This day, I think, won't be too far away.

The next morning, I opened my eyes blurrily and saw that the sky was already bright. I turned my body, wanting to continue sleeping, but suddenly remembered that I had to go out with Chen Ye, so I lazily stretched and prepared to get up.

However, just as I sat up, my body suddenly went limp and fell back down again.

I frowned, helpless.

It turned out that after feeding Chu Yu the blood in his heart for the past few days, he had become much weaker.

He must not let Chen Ye know! Otherwise, he would definitely stop him! There are only a few days until Chu Yu's revival time, I can still tolerate it.

After coming to this conclusion, I clenched my teeth and tried to get up again. However, without any warning, I laid back down.

"Knock …"

"Hey, time to get up."

Chen Ye's knocking sound came from outside the door. I panicked for a moment and quickly replied.

I gritted my teeth and tried to get up again. This time, although I was on the verge of collapsing, it was much better than the previous few times.

I supported the object by my side and shakily sat down in front of the mirror.

In the mirror, my face was pale and my body thin. I looked like a sick patient, but it didn't affect my beauty in the slightest.

I pursed my lips. It was obviously impossible for me to go out like that. Thus, I took out the redness on my lips, trying to make myself look better.

At the moment, I did not have a single ounce of strength on my body, my entire body was soft. Not long after, Chen Ye came again to urge me on, I agreed to sit in front of the mirror and did not dare to go out.

"Forget it. I'll have to go out sooner or later. It might be better to eat something."

I muttered to myself before slowly getting up.

Luckily, I was afraid that I would get hungry tonight, so I hid some dried food beforehand. There was still some tea on the table.

I moved to the table, my hand shaking slightly as I poured water all over it.

I frowned in concentration, but I couldn't stop my hands from shaking.

"How could I be so weak!" I exclaimed but I didn't have any other thoughts. I could only bitterly smile as I started to drink.

After eating something, his body was much better than before, and with the addition of some lip gloss, he didn't look that ugly.

Seeing her expression, Chen Ye did not suspect anything, but only frowned and said indifferently: There's food in the kitchen. After we finish eating, we need to hurry up and pack up, otherwise we will not be able to come out of the mountain before nightfall.

I nodded. Naturally, I knew how important it was to be unable to leave the mountain.

After death, many families could not handle mourning, so they threw their families onto the back mountain. There were also many people who left their corpses on the back mountain after killing someone.

As time went on, once night came, the amount of filth on the mountain would cause one's scalp to go numb.

I quickly packed my things and followed closely behind Chen Ye.

The road on the mountain is not easy to walk on, there were several times when I almost fell down, luckily Chen Ye caught me in time, otherwise I wouldn't want to roll down the mountain.

Chen Ye asked me in shock: "It's not like you've never been up the mountain before, so why are you so weak today?"

I cursed in my heart and immediately fooled him, "No, it's nothing. My appetite wasn't good just now, so I didn't eat any of the dishes in the kitchen."

Chen Ye looked deeply at me but didn't say anything. Instead, he pulled me to sit by the side.

"Come, I have some dried food here. Quickly settle it. You won't be able to come down the mountain like this before nightfall."

I know what Chen Ye said is reasonable, but my current state is not something that can be settled with just a little bit of rations.

Thus, I gritted my teeth and shook my head. "I can't eat …"

Chen Ye frowned, he stood up and touched my forehead, "Why is it so cold?"

I was so scared that I immediately shook off his hand and looked away, not daring to look at him. "Maybe he's sick …"

"Maybe. I'll carry you on my back. We can't delay any longer."

I originally wanted to refuse, but under Chen Ye's resolute gaze, I laid on his back.

Chen Ye carried me on his back the entire way, his footsteps steady. Soon, he finished his business on the mountain, and went down before the sky turned dark.

Returning to the small courtyard, I hastily greeted him before returning to my room, waiting for the time to feed the blood.

Chen Ye had already noticed that something was amiss today. With his intelligence, he would definitely be able to guess what happened.

So I have to be careful!

Midnight approached slowly. The moon outside the window was like a jade plate, hanging high in the sky. It was big and bright, shining brightly in the yard.

I quietly pushed open the door, and saw that Chen Ye's room had its lights turned on, and I couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

It was a good thing that he was already asleep. Otherwise, he would have definitely missed the time to feed the blood.

I didn't care that much as I walked quickly into Chu Yu's room, and without hesitation, I stabbed my own chest with a knife.

The blood in my heart was slowly poured into Chu Yu's mouth along with the dish. Seeing that he had drank it all, I smiled happily.

I gently brushed against Chu Yu's angular face, and smiled like a child: "Don't worry, no matter what price I have to pay, I will treat you!"

Chu Yu still had his eyes closed, and it was unknown if he heard what I said.

I suddenly felt a bit sad, but... In the end, he didn't say anything.

This continued for several days until …
