"What did she do to make you want to kill her?"
Yuheng had not reacted yet when magpie reached out to Fengyi in fear, pleading, "Fengyi, save me, Yuheng has been possessed..."
Fengyi had just tried to approach, but at the same time, Yuheng waved her sleeve and the magpie's body automatically rose and fell straight towards the cliff.
In the blink of an eye, Fengyi quickly grabbed her foot and leaped into the air, blocking magpie with her own body. Seeing this unexpected turn, Yuheng was startled and tried to reach out to help, but it was already too late.
Fengyi and magpie both fell off the cliff, the indistinct sharp rocks hurriedly brushed past them, the uncontrollable sensation of weightlessness felt strangely familiar, she vaguely saw the raging flames and Yuheng's eyes full of grief and despair.
What is this?
Fengyi looked dazedly at countless familiar scenes, forgetting to save herself for a moment, until Yuheng's face became clearer and clearer, she realized that he had also jumped down.
Yuheng desperately reached out, with a pained expression. The wind blowing across her face made it impossible for her to shout, so she could only cooperate by giving him her hand.
The moment their palms intertwined, he fiercely pulled her into his embrace.
Yuheng faced towards her, with his back towards the edge of the cliff. As the sharp contours of the rocks became increasingly distinct, Fengyi finally remembered that she was a bird. With a flap of her wings, she gracefully glided and soared straight into the sky.
Death tightly held her waist, and Yuheng weakly rested her head on her shoulder, resignedly saying, "Fengyi, I have Acrophobia."
After landing perfectly, she realized that she hadn't saved the magpie, but when she saw a magpie flying from the bottom of the cliff to a distance, her guilt slightly eased. She almost forgot that the magpie was also a bird.
Only magpie flew away, so who will tell her what it means for Yuheng to be possessed? What does magpie know that would make Yuheng resort to such drastic measures?
"You must have many doubts if you want to save magpie, but why don't you just ask me directly?"
Yuheng's voice brought her thoughts back. Fengyi looked up at him, but did not speak. Instead, she placed her hand on her chest. In an instant, a red light flashed, startling Yuheng.
"Indeed, you have sealed my memories. I sensed a gap in my memory when I fell off the cliff just now."
Unsealing it on her own, the aura inexplicably became chaotic. Fengyi furrowed her brow but paid no attention, as what concerned her more at the moment were the memories flooding into her mind like a tide, piercing her heart like sharp daggers.
What she had to do was to pull out these daggers one by one, even if it meant enduring excruciating pain.
She remembers him standing across from her, with the same self-righteous look as those supposed gods - he doesn't believe her.
And even now, he still doesn't believe her, because he says the reason she's imprisoned here is that she made a mistake.
Yu Ling raised her head, her eyes crimson, and said to him word by word, "I know you have me in your heart. Otherwise, if I hadn't fallen into The Burning Immortal Altar, I wouldn't be standing here right now. But you don't believe me, so I have to find out the truth about the annihilation of our people. The Vermilion Bird clan was wiped out overnight, which must have been the work of someone formidable. I anticipated the dangers behind this to some extent.
If you are willing to wait for me, even if I have to endure great suffering, I will hold on to see you one last time. If you think I am stubborn and unrepentant, then we will be like the ends of the earth, each going our separate ways from now on."
Yuheng quietly listened and then smiled.
He approached, and before Fengyi could react, he tightly held her hand and said, "The two choices you mentioned don't suit me. I choose a third option: to go to the ends of the earth with you in search of the truth."
Yuheng said she wanted to help her, but she refused. However, it seems that refusing is of no use. He still followed her out of Paradise and continued to investigate.
Leaving Paradise is not difficult, the hard part is how to survive after escaping. Fengyi has been hiding all the way, and finally arrived at the original habitat of the Vermilion Bird clan, Zhuque Mountain, only to find that it had been burned to ruins, with no grass growing for miles around.
Fengyi took a glance at Yuheng and saw that he was gently wiping the sweat from his forehead, clearly unable to bear the residual heat of the Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire.
She stood up helplessly and compromised, saying, "Let's go. If we stay any longer, you'll get burned."
Upon hearing this, Yuheng's eyes curved with emotion: "You still care about me."
Fengyi rolled his eyes, grabbed him and wanted to fly into the sky, but Yuheng looked troubled and asked hesitantly, " Fengyi, how about we ride the clouds instead? I can't handle flying back and forth too well."
By the way, he has acrophobia, so the clouds will block his line of sight as long as he doesn't look down.
After hesitating, Fengyi agreed to take the clouds.
As I was leaving, a call suddenly sounded in my ear, and I turned back in confusion, only to see a flash of red light.
"What's wrong?" Yuheng's concerned voice came, and Fengyi came to his senses, shook his head, indicating that everything was fine.
When they returned to the resting cave, taking advantage of Yuheng meditating, Fengyi returned to Zhuque Mountain.
Sure enough, the red light appeared again.
As if intentionally guiding her, a red light shone towards a cave blocked by rocks, and Fengyi recognized after a while that this was her former residence.
She destroyed the rocks blocking the cave entrance and walked in boldly. Inside, she saw clean tables and chairs, as well as a cozy and warm-looking nest.
It turned out to be exactly the same as when she left.
The red light gradually dimmed, revealing the true form of the red line. Fengyi pinched one end and looked closely, but the red line suddenly spoke!
"Fengyi, I am the red line between you and Yuheng!"
Fengyi asked in confusion, "Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be tied to the little finger of both of us?"
"Ten years ago, when you fell into the The Burning Immortal Altar, I was burned by the Fenxian flames. In order to save you, Yuheng also jumped down with you, and used all his strength to pull your soul back up. In order to extend your life, he practiced dark magic and used the Symbiosis Spell to give you half of his lifespan. He lives when you live, he dies when you die."
Is it a lie? Does Yuheng really care that much about her?
Moreover, throughout history, the only ones who could survive falling from the Burning Immortal Altar are probably him... and oneself, right? How did he manage to do that?
Glancing at Fengyi's complex expression, she continued to drop a bombshell: "Actually, what I most want to tell you is the truth about the annihilation of the Vermilion Bird Clan."
