Chapter 67: The End

"Hu Cancan, why did you betray me?"

Cancan couldn’t speak while being choked by Hua Qing. She was getting weaker and weaker, gazing at Hua Qing with a sense of disbelief. In a moment of daze, she felt like she was seeing him catching her for the first time from a cliff…

"Hua…" Cancan wanted to speak, but by then she was running out of breath. Looking at Hua Qing’s furious face, her eyes were filled with pleading. Not pleading for Hua Qing to release her, but to give up the Snowflake Glass.

With only such a look in her eyes, Hua Qing was now confused. The flames and icy aura combined on his body, causing him to act madly. He held her tightly with one hand and raised the Icebreaker Sword with the other. Before striking, the formation turned, and Hua Qing suddenly let go of Cancan and turned to attack someone else. The Icebreaker Sword was drawn, and cries filled the air.

Hua Qing’s actions were ruthless, almost plunging into a frenzy of combat. Mu Bai and the others were heavily injured. Cancan struggled to get up. Indeed, Martial Uncle Mu Bai was right; even if they reactivated the Immortal Slaying Magical Array, they could not suppress Hua Qing. With Hua Qing about to strike Mu Bai, she screamed desperately, "Hua Qing, I love you…"

Hua Qing turned back in disbelief, looking at Cancan, who reached out her hand, saying, "Hua Qing…"

Hua Qing suddenly smiled in a strange and creepy way. In the blink of an eye, he moved to Cancan’s side and grabbed her neck, demanding, "Love me? Say it again. Say you love me, that loving me means betraying them? … Ugh!" He slowly lowered his head and saw an ice dagger in his chest, the same one Martial Uncle Mu Bai had, while she wore the bracelet he gave her on her wrist.

Hua Qing felt dizzy for a moment, then lunged at Cancan. He shouted and raised his sword to stab Cancan, but memories of their past together suddenly flooded his mind. Feeling unsteady, just as he was about to act, something broke out from within him. Hua Qing instantly collapsed, the flames and ice on him vanished in an instant.

A colorful Snowflake Glass emitted a bright light, entering Cancan’s body in a flash, causing her to scream.

At that moment, Hua Qing seemed to awaken from a nightmare. He looked at Cancan, but before he could react, Cancan cried out, "Kill me…"

Before Hua Qing could react, Martial Uncle Mu Bai picked up his sword, preparing to strike Cancan. Despite years of immortal cultivation, Mu Bai hesitated at this moment, his hand trembling as he looked at Cancan.

Just as he trembled, Hua Qing suddenly grabbed the sword from him. With a pained expression, he understood everything at that moment.

A rude awakening.

Martial Uncle Mu Bai also felt uneasy and said with difficulty, "The Snowflake Glass is in her body. Cancan must die."

Hua Qing was clueless about how things had come to this point. He looked at Cancan, who lay with arms clutching herself, pale and sweaty, with many bruises from his attacks. In that instant, he felt endless heartache. Even without the Snowflake Glass, he still loved Cancan.

"No, I can’t do it…"

Cancan kept crying, but a smile appeared on her face, tears in her eyes, "Hua Qing, please kill me, you have to be the one to do it." She held her own shoulder, "I am the most suitable host for Snowflake Glass, if you kill me, Snowflake Glass will disappear forever, completely vanish into the unknown."

Hua Qing shook his head, kneeling in pain, he held Cancan in his arms, refusing, "No, I can’t. I won’t let you die. It’s me who deserves to die. You know, you know how to truly make Snowflake Glass disappear, why won’t you kill me, why bring Snowflake Glass back to yourself. Cancan, Cancan, you’re so naive." Hua Qing held onto her tightly.

Cancan’s smile became sweeter, leaning on him, "I promised to protect you, didn’t I?" She looked up, "Would you kiss me one more time?" Cancan pleaded, "Just one more kiss before I die?"

Hua Qing looked at her, then slowly leaned down, their lips met…

"Mmm!"

Suddenly, Hua Qing felt a surge of blood, he hastily let go of Cancan, seeing the Icebreaker Sword stuck in her chest.

"Cancan!"

Cancan smiled lightly, her breath weak, "You can’t… can’t hurt each other, I… I will do it myself." Seeing her bleeding incessantly, Hua Qing tried using magic, but nothing could stop the blood from flowing.

"Cancan, don’t be afraid, I will save you, I will definitely save you," Hua Qing kept chanting spells.

Cancan shook her head and held Hua Qing’s hand, whispering, "Do you… do you like me? Without Snowflake Glass, do you still like me?" She kept asking persistently, as if she desperately wanted an answer, "Without Snowflake Glass, do you still want to marry me?"

Hua Qing kept nodding and held her in his arms, "I want to marry you, no matter when, I want to marry you. I like you, I only like you, I like Hu Cancan. It’s not because of Snowflake Glass, it’s not because of Xian Yue, it has nothing to do with anyone else. I only like you, I want to marry you, Cancan, please don’t die, don’t die, let’s get married, okay? Let’s get married, let’s go catch monsters together, let’s travel the world together…"

Hua Qing kept whispering, but Cancan in his arms never responded again.

Hua Qing hurriedly lowered his head, only to see Cancan’s sweet smile on her lips as her hand slowly slipped away…

"Cancan!"

They say a man’s tears are not shed easily, but not until he is truly sad.

Mu Bai turned his head in discomfort, and the others also lowered their heads. A great battle ended with a monster sacrificing itself, a result that no one could have imagined.

"Cancan, Cancan…"

Hua Qing’s tears fell on Cancan’s bracelet, and suddenly the bracelet started to glow faintly. The light gradually surrounded Cancan, and the Snowflake Glass inside her body also emitted a faint light in response.

Everyone became alert immediately. If the Snowflake Glass chose a new host, Cancan’s sacrifice would be in vain. Mu Bai grabbed Hua Qing and said, "Go back to Cancan’s position quickly!"

Hua Qing didn’t move, he just looked at Cancan sadly.

Mu Bai said angrily, "Hua Qing, do you want Cancan to sacrifice for nothing? Hurry!"

Hua Qing looked at Mu Bai, and finally stood up quickly, along with others who formed a tight formation, creating a barrier. If the Snowflake Glass burst out, it wouldn’t have a chance to find a new host.

Despite everyone being on high alert, the Snowflake Glass did not leave Cancan’s body. As the light on the bracelet became brighter, it collided with the Snowflake Glass. Cancan’s pale face gradually turned rosy. It seemed that the brighter the Snowflake Glass shone, the more brilliant her bracelet became, and the two dazzling lights clashed.

"Boom!"

"Cancan!"

Explosions started around Cancan, and the whole hall seemed to tremble. Hua Qing did not move, he only stared at Cancan. Suddenly, the Snowflake Glass inside her body shattered once again, turning into streams of light that flowed towards Cancan’s body, not just limited to her shoulders, but spread throughout her body. Soon, the colorful light disappeared.

The bracelet shone with golden light, wrapping around Cancan’s body.

Hua Qing rushed forward and picked up Cancan. Even though Cancan had stopped breathing, she unexpectedly started breathing again. Hua Qing was extremely surprised, "Cancan…"

…………………………………………

After everyone left the Shu Mountain Great Hall, the thousand-year-old hall collapsed with a loud crash.

Hua Qing held Cancan, who was still breathing but unconscious.

Big Green and Yu Xiu rushed forward immediately, "How is Cancan?"

As daylight returned, the light from Cancan’s bracelet never dimmed, continuing to envelop her.

"She’s fine. I won’t let anything happen to Cancan."

Hua Qing carried Cancan away, heading towards the Shu Mountain Abyss…Nine-curved Underground Palace.

Big Green was angry and quickly caught up, "Are you planning to lock up Cancan too? You locked up Xian Yue back then, now you want to lock up Cancan?"

Hua Qing was serious and calm, "It’s not about locking up, it’s about saving." He bent down and touched Cancan’s head, "Cancan will be fine, this time she will be okay."

Big Green didn’t understand, Mu Bai said, "Let Hua Qing go, if he doesn’t go to the Nine-curved Underground Palace, Cancan’s life will be in real danger."

Hua Qing carried Cancan past Big Green and quickly disappeared from sight.

Big Green was even more confused, "But she…"

Mu Bai said calmly, "It turns out everything is predetermined. Hua Qing went to Guangming Temple to get a life-saving talisman step by step back then. Five hundred years ago, it couldn’t save Xian Yue’s life, five hundred years later, it saved Cancan’s life."

The life-saving bracelet Hua Qing gave Cancan truly saved her life.

Did Hua Qing ever imagine the consequences of his gift at that time?

Mu Bai suddenly smiled, a smile full of understanding, "So that’s how it is. The ancient scroll actually talks about this meaning. This time, all of us are finally free."

"What do you mean?" Yu Xiu was puzzled, Snowflake Glass was still on Cancan!

Mu Bai calmly said, "Snowflake Glass shattered three times on the same host, and this host happened to be Xian Yue, who had cut off her own wisdom roots. That means it no longer has the ability to recover and will only blend into the host’s bones and blood. So, the Snowflake Glass from the Demon Realm has truly vanished from this world."

Upon hearing this news, everyone felt relieved, "This creature will never…"

Mu Bai looked up at the sky, "With Snowflake Glass gone, perhaps many years later, there will be new sacred items from the Demon Realm. It’s all unknown, but what we do know is that everything about Snowflake Glass has truly disappeared."

A light breeze blew by, making the few clouds faint. Mu Bai spoke slowly, "It’s all over…"
