Scheidung ist eine Kleinigkeit

Kapitel 40

Knowing she would come, Xia Yi opened her eyes and said weakly, "Xiao Chan, come into my arms."

Yun Chan shook her head, stubbornly and carefully spreading her arms to shield him from the falling debris.

"Come to me, sweetie, and help me pull this nail out."

Yun Chan was startled, as if she understood something. She quickly glanced around, only to find the stone chamber filled with swirling dust, obscuring everything. She immediately bent down and grasped the steel nail, but it was driven so deep into her flesh that her hand trembled violently.

.

Xia Yi struggled to sit up slightly, using her uninjured hand to pull her into her arms and encourage her, "It's okay, go ahead and pull it out, it won't hurt."

In the chaos, Qingqi suddenly noticed their movements and shouted, "They're trying to escape!"

The shaking ground and falling rubble hindered Qingqi's advance. The situation was critical. Yun Chan steeled herself, forcefully pulling out the steel nail. Almost simultaneously, Xia Yi used her bloodied hand to slap open a protrusion on the bed board, and...

The surface instantly split open, sucking the two of them inside.

Just as the two fell into the hole, they heard a snap, and the stone slab above their heads was locked shut. It seemed that Qing Qi hadn't caught up in time. Yun Chan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but Xia Yi struggled to pull her along, saying, "Hurry up."

The stone chamber they had just been in was already underground, and the mechanism they had fallen into was located on an even deeper level. Now that the upper level was collapsing, the lower level naturally wouldn't hold on for long either, and was also shaking violently.

Xia Yi leaned against Yun Chan: "Only the southwest corner of the underground palace collapsed. Let's head east."

Unexpectedly, the lower level was also built in a winding, meandering manner, with many branching passages and mechanisms. Yun Chan, supporting Xia Yi, followed his directions and walked for quite some time. Sure enough, the further east they went, the calmer the ground became.

Feeling the person beside her getting colder, Yun Chan stopped and asked, "Do you want to rest for a bit?"

"good."

Yun Chan helped him sit down. It was dark underground, and she couldn't see his condition at all. Yun Chan only noticed his pulse was getting weaker and weaker, and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "How much longer until we reach the exit?"

"We can't go out." Xia Yi's voice was very soft. She paused for a moment before continuing, "The people trapped in the stone chamber just now weren't all the members of the Qingtu Sect. There were also... people from several other departments who weren't present."

Yun Chan understood his meaning. Given the current situation, the remaining people were likely also considering betrayal. Moreover, it wasn't just the Qingtu Sect members outside; members of the righteous path were also there. If they went out, no one would let Xia Yi go.

The two fell silent again. After sitting for a while, Yun Chan realized how terribly cold it was deep underground. She carefully hugged Xia Yi, trying to give him some warmth, but unexpectedly, she felt a sudden pain in her arm, as if something was burning it.

It was the Canglan poison that had taken effect on her.

Despite being at her wit's end, Yun Chan suddenly felt a sense of peace. She endured the pain without uttering a sound, quietly lying beside Xia Yi, as if she had returned to her childhood, to the days when she and he watched the stars at Danxi Slope, a time of tranquility and beauty.

After a long while, Xia Yi called her softly, "Xiao Chan".

"Um?"

Do you hate me?

Why?

"When I was eight years old... that gray rabbit you brought home... I actually released it too."

Yun Chan scoffed, "I knew it a long time ago. Did you think you were being discreet?"

"When I was nine, you pushed me into the hunter's hole... Actually, I had already climbed out." Xia Yi recalled slowly, even her weak voice carrying a hint of pleasure. "Later... to scare you, I hid in the village for three days. Waiting for you to bring..."

People came looking for me... so I secretly slipped back into the cave and pretended to be dead.

The pain in her arm was getting worse, and Yun Chan groaned to cover it up: "Even if you fall into a hole and starve to death next time, I won't care about you anymore."

Xia Yi gave a weak smile: "Ji Yue... I could have saved her, but I didn't, and I even let Qing Qi... kill her."

Yun Chan was taken aback and fell silent.

Xia Yi continued slowly, "There are so many things... I lied to you... Xiao Chan, can you forgive me?"

With tears welling up in her eyes, Yun Chan said softly, "I can't forgive you."

"I see," Xia Yi murmured, her voice devoid of emotion.

Her arm was so painful it almost numb half her body. Yun Chan moved slightly, trying to get closer to him: "But I will stay with you, always. We swore an oath to the moon, that we would never be apart in this life or for all eternity..."

The pain intensified, and she barely had the strength to speak: "Xia Yi, we're together, whether we live or die, we're together."

Xia Yi remained silent for a long time before hugging her back: "Okay."

Her consciousness was blurred by the pain, and Yun Chan whispered, "Damn Xia Yi, I'm going to sleep for a while."

"good."

This time, nothing can separate them anymore. Yun Chan smiled and nestled peacefully in his arms.

---

In the darkness underground, time seemed to stand still. Yun Chan was jolted awake several times by the pain, only to drift back to sleep again. It wasn't until she felt a blinding ray of sunlight on her face that she struggled to open her eyes.

They were no longer in the same place, Xia Yi held her and lifted a crack in the stone slab. Sunlight streamed in through the crack, illuminating his frighteningly pale face.

Yun Chan panicked slightly: "Xia Yi, what are you doing?"

Xia Yi seemed to be listening intently to something, and after a while she answered her: "The major sects are searching for people up there. With them there, you are safe."

"What about you? You'll be killed." Yun Chan panicked and tried to hug him, but found that her body had been sealed and she couldn't move. She could only plead, "Don't go out. Didn't we just agree? I'll go with you, we'll die together."

"The remaining members of the Qingtu Cult will be here soon." Xia Yi gently stroked her face. "Xiao Chan, I deserve to die, but you must live."

Lifting the stone slab, Xia Yi gathered her strength for a while before laboriously bringing Yun Chan out. Outside was a narrow canyon, where Lou Lou, dressed in white, was searching on the other side. He was somewhat surprised to see them emerge.

The two sides of the canyon are ten zhang apart, with a bottomless abyss below. With Xia Yi's current physical strength, he definitely cannot jump over it.

Voices approached from beneath the stone slab behind them. Xia Yi looked down at Yun Chan and gently coaxed, "Little Chan, don't cry."

Yun Chan stared at him with red eyes, unable even to shake her head. Suddenly, she felt herself being lifted into the air and thrown into the canyon.

Seeing this, Lou Lou on the opposite side was startled and immediately leaped down, wielding his ice silkworm silk to steadily wrap around Yun Chan's falling body. He released his grip, lifting Yun Chan into his arms, and using the protrusions on the cliff edge for leverage, quickly pulled Yun Chan back to safety.

To the land on the other side.

Xia Yi remained standing still when the stone slab behind him was suddenly smashed open. Several men in yellow robes emerged, saw him, and immediately bound him with iron chains, shouting, "We've captured the cult leader!"

"Damn it, the people from the Ink Pavilion are on the other side, let's get out of here!" With that, the group dragged Xia Yi along and hurriedly lifted the stone slabs again to crawl back into the cave.

Lou Lou frowned and said to his men, "Quickly find a way to get around to the other side and chase them. Don't let them get away."

He put Yun Chan down, patted her acupoints, and then discovered that her body was burning hot. He exclaimed in surprise, "Your Canglan has flared up?"

Yun Chan fell to the ground in pain.

fraud.

Big liar.

He lied to her time and time again.

They had clearly promised to be together, even in life and death.

Yun Chan desperately shuffled towards the edge of the cliff. Just a little bit more, just a little bit more, and she was about to reach him.

"With the bright moon as my witness, I, Yun Chan, hereby vow to marry Xia Yi today. This love and this vow will never diminish until we grow old and die. May Heaven bless us so that we may never be separated."

"With the bright moon as my witness, I, Xia Yi, here today take Xiao Chan as my wife. In this life and for all eternity, no one can separate us."

She finally reached the edge of the cliff, but that seemingly within reach felt ever farther away. Boundless pain spread throughout her body, an unbearable agony that made that tiny distance seem like an unattainable dream.

The Finale (Part 1)

Many significant events occurred in the martial arts world that year. A month after the fall of the number one martial arts sect in the world, the Qingtu Sect was finally wiped out completely.

The martial arts world suddenly became much quieter.

After the rain, the mountains and fields were filled with the fragrance of grass, trees, and earth, which was very refreshing and pleasant. At a tea stall on the outskirts of the mountains, several rough and rugged men who had taken off their straw hats were chatting idly.

A burly man with thick eyebrows said, "This time, the Demonic Sect has finally been wiped out completely. We can be much more at ease when we're escorting goods from now on."

A person nearby chimed in, "However, the righteous path also suffered many casualties this time, and I'm afraid all the major sects will need to recuperate for a while."

“What a pity, what a pity…” A man in a blue robe sitting in the center took a sip of tea and suddenly sighed.

Hearing the sigh, several people turned to look at him: "Brother Shao, what's the pity?"

The man in the blue robe gazed wistfully at his neighbor and sighed, "Alas, beauty and bones are but illusions."

There were four people at the next table: a middle-aged couple, a pale-faced young woman, and a very handsome man in white. Upon hearing the man in blue's words, none of them looked pleased, except for the young woman.

reaction.

These are Yun Tianhai and his wife, Yun Chan and Lou Lou. Behind them, at a table, are some disciples from Feiyun Fortress.

Since Yun Chan suffered an attack on Cang Lan's body a few days ago on Yanshan Mountain, Qin Hu, who arrived shortly after, immediately used golden needles to seal several meridians in her arm, temporarily slowing the progression of the poison. However, the pain in her body did not subside, causing her to be frequently unconscious in the past few days, with only brief periods of lucidity.

There's not much time.

It is said that Mr. Hu of Fusheng Valley was once as skilled as the late divine physician Xue Ren. Now, the Lord of Feiyun Fortress and his wife, clinging to a sliver of hope, are heading to Fusheng Valley with Yun Chan and Lou Lou.

After resting briefly at the tea stall, Yun Tianhai glanced at the sun, then turned to the others and instructed, "Let's go."

Everyone rose upon receiving the order. Qin Hu was helping Yun Chan onto the carriage when the man in the blue robe suddenly spoke up, advising, "Gentlemen, Mr. Hu of Fusheng Valley hasn't practiced medicine for twenty years. If this young lady wishes to seek medical help, she should find another skilled healer as soon as possible. Don't..."

The opportunity was missed.

Qin Hu had already lowered the carriage curtain. Upon hearing this, he simply turned around, said "Thank you," and waved for everyone to depart.

A caravan of carriages traveled towards the vast sea of clouds. After about half an hour, the carriages arrived at a mountain road. They saw birds singing and flowers blooming all around, and gradually they could see the entrance to the valley ahead. Everyone's faces couldn't help but show some joy.

Just as Yun Tianhai was about to turn around and discuss something with Qin Hu, a loud rumbling sound came from above, and many huge rocks rolled down from both sides of the mountain path.

Unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn here. Yun Tianhai reacted quickly, pulling Yun Chan out of the carriage in one swift motion. The next moment, a huge boulder struck the roof of the carriage. The horses in the procession were startled, throwing their riders off.

They scattered and fled, screeching.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "There's an ambush! It's the Demonic Cult!"

Instantly, several men in yellow robes leaped out from the surrounding area and attacked Yun Chan in unison.

Yun Tianhai roared and, together with his disciples, drew their weapons to fight. Although the group of men in yellow robes had come prepared, they were few in number and of mediocre strength, and were quickly wiped out.

Lou Lou poked at the corpses of several men in yellow on the ground with the tip of his knife and quickly concluded: "The Hundred Beasts Totem seems to be one of the last few to escape."

Upon hearing this, Yun Chan suddenly raised her head.

The fact that the Demonic Cult wasn't completely wiped out, and that these people would try to capture her, only meant that they hadn't yet obtained the antidote for Honglu, and that she still had value to them. Yun Chan's previously dormant eyes suddenly lit up: "He's not dead."

He's not dead. If he were dead, she would no longer be of any use to them, and those people wouldn't be worth risking their lives to capture him.

Her sudden lively expression stung Lou Lou's eyes. Lou Lou chuckled, "He didn't die at our hands. When we found him that day, he was in the hands of the Qingtu Sect's men, who were eager to force him to reveal the antidote for Honglu."

They all treated him ruthlessly…

Qin Hu angrily interrupted, "Lord Lou, that's enough!"
