Chapter 127 A glimmer of hope
"Junior sister, perhaps we still have a glimmer of hope."
Ruan Hongshuang opened and closed her lips several times, and finally, as if she had made up her mind, she slowly spoke.
At this moment, Shen Qingyao was staring dejectedly into the distance. After hearing Ruan Hongshuang's voice, she slowly turned her head and looked directly at Ruan Hongshuang, her face full of doubt and confusion.
There seemed to be a hint of disbelief in his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Senior Sister, what did you just say?"
As Shen Qingyao spoke, she blinked hard, trying to clear her mind. She even began to wonder if she was hallucinating due to excessive tension, causing her to mishear her senior sister's words.
Given the current critical situation, they were almost at their wits' end, so how could they possibly come up with any way to fight for a chance of survival?
At least for Shen Qingyao, she had run out of ideas and had no other options but to sit here and wait for her death.
Looking at Shen Qingyao, who looked gloomy and lifeless, Ruan Hongshuang felt a pang of heartache and helplessness.
She sighed softly and said slowly, "Junior Sister, your soul is unstable, but there are ways to stabilize it; and although Young Marshal Si is currently being invaded by Yin energy, there are also ways to dispel that Yin energy."
Upon hearing Ruan Hongshuang's words, Shen Qingyao was completely stunned. Her already wide eyes widened even more, and her mouth involuntarily opened into an "O" shape.
Immediately afterwards, she raised her hand and vigorously picked at her ear, muttering to herself:
Am I hallucinating? How could this be?! My own senior sister actually told her there was a way to stabilize her soul and dispel the yin energy within Si Jingnian? This is simply unbelievable!
To think that she could stabilize her soul and dispel the yin energy within Si Jingnian's body here is nothing short of wishful thinking.
Seeing the suspicious look in Shen Qingyao's eyes, Ruan Hongshuang felt a surge of anxiety, and her words became hurried:
"Junior sister, when have I ever lied to you? It's true, I saw it by chance in an ancient book. It clearly states that if the soul is unstable, it can be stabilized through dual cultivation."
At this point, Ruan Hongshuang paused, took a deep breath, and continued:
"As for the issue of Yin energy in Si Jingnian's body, as long as you cultivate with him, and the Yin and Yang of the two of you blend and harmonize with each other, not only will your soul be stabilized, but the Yin energy in the young marshal Si's body will also disappear without a trace."
At this moment, Ruan Hongshuang's tone became increasingly impatient, as if she was afraid that Shen Qingyao would not believe her, and she simply blurted out everything at once.
Upon hearing these words, Shen Qingyao, who was standing to the side, blushed bright red, her face turning as red as a ripe apple, almost as if it were about to bleed.
She never imagined that the method Ruan Hongshuang spoke of would be such an embarrassing way.
Although Shen Qingyao had not yet experienced matters between men and women, she naturally understood the meaning of dual cultivation mentioned by Ruan Hongshuang.
Then, she glared at Ruan Hongshuang playfully, her face full of shame and indignation as she scolded:
"Senior Sister, where did you get all this strange and unorthodox stuff from? And you actually believed it!"
However, despite saying this, Shen Qingyao's heart was already in complete turmoil.
As Ruan Hongshuang gazed at Shen Qingyao's face, which was flushed red like a ripe apple, a sense of guilt welled up in her heart.
She knew that her junior sister was still young and had never had such an experience before, and that her impulsive actions just now were really inappropriate.
"Junior Sister, it is indeed my fault for discussing this matter with you at this moment. However... everything I have said is true, without the slightest falsehood."
Ruan Hongshuang said softly, her words revealing a hint of regret.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyao's gaze wandered aimlessly. She first glanced timidly at Si Jingnian, whose face was contorted and in agony due to the invasion of yin energy, before quickly averting her gaze, her cheeks flushing even more deeply.
After a while, all was quiet except for the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the surrounding buildings.
Just then, Shen Qingyao seemed to have finally made a difficult decision, and her previously wavering eyes gradually became resolute.
"Senior Sister, I...I want to say a few words to Si Jingnian." Shen Qingyao's voice was slightly hoarse, but her tone was unusually firm.
Ruan Hongshuang was slightly taken aback, and after a moment's thought, she nodded slightly in agreement.
Then, she turned around and led the others to slowly retreat, trying to stay away from Shen Qingyao and Si Jingnian, leaving them a relatively independent space.
After everyone had gone far away, Shen Qingyao took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and stretched out her slender and delicate hand to gently grasp Si Jingnian's broad and cold hand.
Then, she slowly raised her head, her beautiful eyes already brimming with tears, gazing affectionately at Si Jingnian's tightly closed eyes.
"Si Jingnian, if we can get out of here, how about... we get married? I mean remarrying, not for good luck or having a wedding ceremony with a rooster."
"It's you and me, like a small framed portrait. I'm wearing a white Western-style dress, and you're wearing a Western-style suit and leather shoes..."
"Let us pledge together that, whether in poverty or wealth, in health or sickness, we will never abandon each other. Is that alright?"
Shen Qingyao's voice trembled, with a faint sob mixed in, as weak and heartbreaking as a candle flame flickering in the wind.
That slightly hoarse voice seemed to have traveled through the long river of time, slowly telling an ancient and mysterious story, as gentle as a petal falling in spring, slowly drifting into Si Jingnian's heart.
At this moment, Si Jingnian, whose eyes were tightly closed, felt his eyelids tremble slightly as if pulled by some invisible force.
The hand that Shen Qingyao was holding tightly began to bend slightly, as if trying to respond to Shen Qingyao's tight grip and wanting to hold her hand even tighter.
Shen Qingyao knew that although Si Jingnian was trapped in a nightmare due to the invasion of yin energy and could not wake up, he would definitely be able to hear her voice.
This feeling was incredibly strong, as if they had a special telepathic connection, and could still sense each other's presence even in darkness and hardship.
As for whether Ruan Hongshuang's words were true or false, Shen Qingyao had no time to ponder them.
At this moment, the only thing she didn't want to do was leave any regrets for herself and Si Jingnian.
If what Ruan Hongshuang said is true, then they still have a chance to fight back. Even if there is only a sliver of hope, they will do everything in their power to try and survive.
But if it was all just a hoax, that didn't matter, because in the final moments of her life, she was finally able to truly be with the one she loved.
Even if she ultimately loses her life here, she feels that she has no regrets in this life.
