Chapter 244 What do you do?
Even though he had long since gotten over this irritating family relationship, Tuoba Qing still felt like being pricked by a needle in the heart.
Jing seemed to hesitate and took a half step forward: "Let me think about it..."
Without any warning, a shadow passage opened up behind Tuoba Zongzhen.
"Let me see what you are first--"
The moment Jing rushed out of the shadow passage, Tuoba Zongzhen dodged to the side and retreated into the black crevice.
The crack closed abruptly in front of Jinghe and Tuoba Qing who were flying over, and Tuoba Zongzhen disappeared completely from the stone platform.
With a crisp "ding" sound, a transparent crystal core fell on the white marble table and broke into two pieces.
The last trace of black energy spread into the air.
The gem in the hourglass that was filled with life energy suddenly burst and turned into powder under the heavy pressure of the gravity field. The green light beam that shot up into the sky decayed at a very fast speed until it disappeared, and the magic circle above the clouds also dissipated.
However, the torn entrance to the Hellwell in the sky did not completely disappear. Even if the condensed demons could no longer pass through the passage, the evil and corrupt breath of the Land of Evil Spirits would continue to pollute the land until all living beings were turned into undead.
She is the only one who can turn this around.
Tuoba Qing turned around and was about to go back to the ground, but Jing stretched out his arm and blocked his way.
"Wait a minute, what's your name?" Jing looked carefully at his deep-cut face, trying to find similarities between him and himself.
Tuoba Qing blocked his hand and walked out of the cave without looking around.
Jing followed him relentlessly: "Are you really my brother?"
Tuoba Qiongli ignored him and quickly climbed the stone stairs.
Jing stood at the foot of the stone stairs, looked up and asked, "Why did he abandon you? And who is Adrian?"
"Bang——" Tuoba Qing jumped down from the stone stairs and landed in front of Jing.
He grabbed Jing's collar and said in a cold voice, "Listen carefully, I have nothing to do with you, not in this life, but in any life. You'd better stay away from me and her, otherwise, I can't guarantee that I won't kill you."
Jing narrowed his eyes and looked at the undisguised hatred in his eyes, knowing that what he said was absolutely true.
Jing did not have any admiration for such a cheap brother.
He took a half step back, putting some distance between himself and Qiong.
Qiong Yi loosened his hand and let go of his collar.
Jing raised his eyebrows and returned to his usual playful and intimate manner: "Brother, your opinion does not count for what happens between me and my sister~"
Not wanting to say another word to him, Tuoba Qing ran towards the ground.
On the seemingly endless stone staircase, the same voice from his previous life echoed in his mind again and again: "Brother, it seems that Asaiah doesn't want you anymore~ Just leave the position of the Knight of Divine Revelation to me~"

The green magic circle on the clouds finally dissipated, but the thick clouds did not disperse.
The residents of Frost City, whose vitality had stopped flowing, trembled and looked up at the sky with tearful eyes, where Ai Wanxin was standing in the wind with a golden spear in his hand.
She was stunned for only a short moment, then she lowered her body again and drove the little fox towards the Wailing Canyon where the red dragon fell.
Passing through the swirling mist, the towering trees at the bottom of the canyon were broken by the red dragon's huge body, and a deep pit was smashed out on the ground. The flames ignited the giant trees, and in the sea of fire, the red dragon let out a dying wail.
Ai Wanxin waved her hand to extinguish the flames in the forest, then jumped off the little fox and landed on the edge of the charred pit.
Vines poked their heads out from the trees and snaked their way to her feet.
For some reason, there seemed to be a chirping sound in the wind blowing past Ai Wanxin's ears.
"Want to save her, Asaiah?"
"Do you want to save her?"
"She's dying..."
The red dragon's eyelids, which were burned by the flames, slowly opened, and Ai Wanxin's figure was reflected in its out-of-focus pupils.
The shadow of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl appeared on the red dragon's curled up body. She raised the pair of ruby eyes that Ai Wanxin had just seen in her memory and whispered her name softly.
"Asiah, I missed you so much..."
Although I have never seen her face.
But Ai Wanxin knew that was the time when nothing had happened yet, the young and sweet Lilith.
Lilith's frail shadow slowly dissipated, and a breeze blew through Ai Wanxin's hair, like a pair of soft hands gently caressing her cheeks.
Her heart beat violently, and a lingering sadness struck her through the distant time.
Ai Wanxin nodded slightly, and the vines at her feet received her approval. They reached into the deep pit like a snake and tightly wrapped the red dragon's broken body into a ball.
The faint blue light points gathered from the forest to the sphere along the branches of the vines.
The sphere shrank smaller and smaller, and when the last trace of light disappeared, the sphere had become the size of a watermelon.
The vines, which had consumed the last bit of energy left over from the Absolute Winter Dream, turned into powder in the mountain wind and completely merged with the plants, fish and insects in the Wailing Canyon.
In the center of the deep pit, there was only a red egg covered with golden holy seals.
Ai Wanxin hesitated for a moment and put the dragon egg into the space.
"You can hatch eggs, right?" Ai Wanxin looked at the mutant wolf king and asked politely.
The system and the mutant wolf king looked at her in confusion.
But none of them dared to say a word.
Ai Wanxin turned her gaze to the round ball and asked, "Are you the system?"
If the system had a heart and a throat, the heart would beat to the throat at this moment.
It rolled obediently in front of Ai Wanxin.
If it weren't so round, it would have found a way to kneel down.
If its owner doesn't call it a reading machine anymore, it might be doomed.
However, Ai Wanxin just said, "Help it hatch the eggs."
The system's round body swayed up and down, fearing that its agreement was not obvious enough.
"Also, keep this." Ai Wanxin handed it the Holy Spirit Blade which had retracted into a dagger state. "You still have some time. You can make up a story that I can believe."
"Okay, Master. I understand. I promise to complete the task. Master, no, I'm not making this up. I won't lie to you. -"
The system spoke incoherently.
The four little leopard cats nudged it aggrievedly, telling it that their owner had left.
In the past, the master would rub them when he entered the space, but today the master did not rub anyone.
They too are falling out of favor.
Ai Wanxin had no idea what was going on in their minds, she just had a lot of things to do.
When she came out of the space and turned around, her eyes met with Yin Yanhan, who had been guarding not far behind her.
Yin Yanhan took two steps forward and gently held her in his arms. The embrace, still smelling of gunpowder, was as warm as ever.
Ai Wanxin buried her face in his broad shoulders and asked in a muffled voice: "Brother Han, what do you do for a living?"
