Unfortunately, the excitement in Jian Shen's voice and the happiness on his face didn't last long, as he looked up towards Qingyu.
"What.... What happened? Are you okay?!"
Looking at Qingyu's face which was the palest he had ever seen, and a stream of blood flowing from the side of her lips, Jian Shen was filled with panic.
"Qingyu!"
The panic only further increased after Jian Shen noticed that Qingyu wasn't even responding to him.
At the same time, Qingyu's eyes started drooping and her body turned weak.
Using his tired and weak arms, Jian Shen somehow managed to hold Qingyu by the waist and keep her from falling backwards.
"Hey, Qingyu! Get a hold of yourself!"
Failing to find any reaction even when he shool her, Jian Shen felt even more scared and rushed inside the house to place her on the bed.
Having never encountered any such thing ever before, Jian Shen had zero ideas regarding what to do.
What made it worse was that there were no one around for him to ask for help.
So all he could do was place a warm wet cloth om her cold forehead, and rub her palms.
"Qingyu! Wake up! Please wake up!"
"Didn't you say we still had two weeks together?!! How could you die so soon...!"
At once Jian Shen understood that Qingyu did something which exhausted her too much, and preponed her time of death.
And that was, opening all of his Great Meridians.
"You....! How could you do this?! Why open my Great Meridians, if you would die!!! Wake up, you idiot!"
Feeling Qingyu's body which was turning colder by the second, and sensing her breathing turning weaker, Jian Shen state of mind was at an edge with endless fear and sadness creeping upon his heart.
"QINGYU!!!"
Finally, Qingyu weakly opened her eyes and spoke in a soft voice.
"Stop shouting... Save it for when I truly die..."
"You're alive!"
"Of course I am."
Looking at the pained look on Qingyu's face, Jian Shen could guess that she was pushing herself to just talk.
Therefore he hastily got up and began wiping her sweat covered body.
"Don't talk! Just rest! I'll take care of everything else!"
"What are you saying?"
"Tell me what you need me to do, I'll do anything to save you."
"It doesn't work like that Jian Shen."
"Of course it does! This happens in every story!"
Weakly chuckling, Qingyu said, "If I could've removed the poison, I would've done it a long time back."
"What are you saying?"
"You don't have to act stupid, Jian Shen. We both knew this day was coming."
"But... This is too soon!... And I can't have you dying because of me!"
"I'm sorry... I was going to die anyway, so doing this was a better use of my time."
"No! You can't die! I just got used to your sweet food!"
"Sweet? Does that mean I was using sugar instead of salt? Why did you never say anything until now?"
"I... I didn't want you to feel bad."
Despite being so close to death, right now Qingyu felt happy.
Taking Jian Shen's right arm, she pressed the underside of her wrist against his and chanted a few words due to which the World Crest on her arm disappeared and reappeared on Jian Shen's arm.
Next, she tapped on the World Crest and pulled out both the Heavenly Dragon Sword and the Ethereal Phoenix Sword.
However, they felt too heavy for her hand to hold and ended up falling on the floor, one on top of the other.
"Once I die... Before you start cultivating, make sure to fuse those two swords and obtain the cultivation technique from them."
Taking a deep breath, Qingyu continued by saying, "To fuse them, all you need to do is hold one sword in each of your hand. Given that the Heavenly Dragon Sword has already accepted you, it would directly consume the Ethereal Phoenix Sword and turn into a single new sword."
"Didn't I say to not speak? Just rest! Everything is going to be okay!"
Smiling bitterly Qingyu said, "Don't worry, I was prepared to die for a long time. I'm no longer afraid of it. If there's one regret, it's that I was never able to fulfil your wish and marry you."
"Marry?"
As Qingyu said about something he didn't remember, Jian Shen was fazed for a while, but soon said, "Yes! You can't die before we marry!"
"I know that you're acting like you remember, but that's fine. I'm happy with just that."
"Aaaaahhh! Stop with the last words talk! And stop smiling like that as well! You're not going to die!"
"Hey, Jian Shen. I know I don't deserve to ask you for anything but can you do one last thing for me?"
"What is it?"
"I know the special powers the Heavenly Dragon Bloodline gives you. You obtain a great amount of Yang energy and Qi from having sex, right?"
As Jian Shen nodded his head, Qingyu said, "Even though I lost a lot of my cultivation, I'm sure that you can obtain enough to cultivate until the Qi Liquification Realm. So, will you have sex with me?"
Before Jian Shen could even say anything, Qingyu shook her head and said, "That was all a lie. I just want to have sex with you before I die."
"You..."
"Please don't say no..."
Looking at Qingyu who seemed like she would die at any moment, Jian Shen despite knowing that having sex with her would only bring Qingyu closer to death, just couldn't say no.
Therefore, while holding back all of his sadness, Jian Shen bent forward and gently kissed Qingyu on the lips.
He didn't even let Qingyu who was trying to raise her arms move, and started opening her robes.
For the first time since had sex, even after seeing how beautiful the half naked Qingyu looked, Jian Shen wasn't in a mood to have sex.
But the same couldn't be said for his dick which turned hard after he saw Qingyu's naked body. Turns out that Jian Shen's dick, like every other men, had a mind of its own. And couldn't hold back after seeing a naked woman.
"Are you sure about this? Your body is too weak, and..."
Stopping midway since Qingyu nodded her head with a bright smile, Jian Shen tightly shut his eyes and pushed his waist forward inside Qingyu's pussy.
Once this happened, Jian Shen who was feeling sad felt like warmth and happiness was being generated from the centre of his body. No, the centre of his existence!
Almost as if his soul had been waiting for this, and was finally satisfied.
At the same time, the black and white swords which were on the floor beside them began fusing together.
