Big Moon Ballad

The man's palms were slightly cold, not very warm at first.

But at the moment when their hands were holding each other's skin and their skins were touching, Ying Baoyue heard the beating of her heart.

Plop, plop.

This is the sound of a beating heart, the sound of life.

Starting from where their skins touched, warmth grew, spreading along her arms and throughout her body.

The thick fog and cold wind around her slowly dissipated. Ying Baoyue raised her head and saw the eyes of the owner of the hand.

Through the eye sockets of the thick bronze mask, the familiar black eyes were wide open and looking at her in surprise.

This was different from when they first met.

At that time, this man was sitting cross-legged in the coffin with serious eyes. Even though he fished a man out of a cave in the wilderness in the middle of the night, he remained calm and calm.

But at this moment, the person who had always been calm looked at her, losing his coolness and calmness in his eyes.

Li Ji's eyes were strange, like a traveler who had been trekking in the wilderness for a long time and saw an oasis. He wanted to believe it but suspected it was a mirage.

It was obviously such a serious moment, but Ying Baoyue suddenly wanted to laugh.

Just when a smile appeared on her face, Li Ji finally reacted.

Ying Baoyue didn't know that he had indeed been trekking in the wilderness for a long time.

In this deserted wilderness, he initially walked in the opposite direction of the cliff, but he never reached the end. After walking for an unknown period of time, Li Ji suddenly turned around and walked towards the cliff again without knowing what he was thinking.

Just when he reached the edge of the cliff again, Li Ji found that the fog on the edge of the cliff had become much thicker. As he approached the edge of the cliff, it was as if he was surrounded by heavy clouds and mist.

It is extremely dangerous to get close to the cliff in this situation, and you will fall if you are not careful. Li Ji was driven by an inexplicable impulse in his heart. He walked step by step towards the edge of the cliff as if sleepwalking.

Half of his feet were out of the cliff. Li Ji stumbled and almost fell. Only then did he wake up.

Logically speaking, he should retreat immediately, but Li Ji inexplicably lowered his head and looked at the bottom of the cliff.

There was still an endless thick fog below, and he felt weightless. Li Ji knew that he would fall off the cliff the next moment, but he still did not raise his head.

At this time, in the thick bottomless clouds and fog, he saw an outstretched hand.

Maybe a long time passed, maybe it was just a short moment.

Li Ji desperately reached down to reach that hand.

The moment he stretched out his hand, he seemed to have traveled through a long time and saw a lot of the past.

But he couldn't take care of all this at the moment. Li Ji only knew that he reached out and grabbed the hand without any hesitation.

Then the wilderness around him disappeared.

Cliffs, cold wind, ice, snow, fog, everything disappeared.

Only the woman who occupied his entire field of vision was left.

At dusk, the mountains are far away, the weather is cold and the white houses are poor. Chaimen hears the barking of dogs, and returns home on a snowy night.

Li Ji stared blankly at the girl gradually emerging from the thick fog, suspecting that he was dreaming.

But the next moment he saw the smile in Ying Baoyue's eyes, he knew that this was not a dream or an illusion. He had really seen her.

Both of them knew that the other person at this time was real.

The two looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say.

As the thick fog disappeared, the fog beneath the two people's feet turned into solid land. Li Ji used his arms slightly to pull Ying Baoyue in front of him.

Ying Baoyue stood still in front of him, but Li Ji didn't let go of his hand, and even held it tighter.

The two of them stood facing each other with their palms clasped together.

The fog around him gradually faded, and the figures on the battlefield around him came into view, and noisy voices sounded. Through the mist, Li Ji saw the densely packed army, and even saw Zhao Guang, who was dressed almost completely different from before.

Zhao Guang, dressed like King Zhai, was standing stunned outside the mist.

It's really no wonder he stayed like this.

The storm surrounding Ying Baoyue suddenly stopped. Zhao Guang was overjoyed. He was about to call Ying Baoyue's name when he suddenly wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes.

He saw not one but two people standing in the center of the storm. A light mist spread from the inner part of the storm. Through the light mist, Zhao Guang saw a person standing vaguely in front of Ying Baoyue!

And he could still recognize this person even if he turned into ashes!

"This...this is..."

Ji Ange on the side was also stunned, speechless in surprise.

Hearing Ji Ange's voice, Zhao Guang realized that he was not the only one who saw it, and that all this was not his hallucination.

But is this sudden change in life really possible?
"Second...brother?"

Zhao Guang spoke blankly, and Li Ji looked at him with helplessness and apology.

Zhao Guang opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly found that the edges of Li Ji's body had become much lighter.

As the mist dissipated, Li Ji's figure gradually disappeared.

Li Ji was startled and looked at Ying Baoyue opposite.

Ying Baoyue was stunned for a moment, but suddenly understood.

Heaven-level practitioners have the ability to build small worlds when the time, place and people are favorable. When breaking through the realm, the energy of heaven and earth gathers, which is a good time for space-time distortion. When Li Ji broke through the heaven-level realm before, he caused a waterspout, and there was a waterspout inside. There was a strange place where time and space were distorted.

Li Ji's appearance here is a miracle, and it is probably related to the short-term distortion of time and space caused by the breaking of the heavenly realm. But with the end of the breakthrough, the originally distorted time and space is gradually returning to normal, and he will return to where he was originally.

In other words, there's not much time left between the two of them.

Ying Baoyue looked at the man opposite her silently.

She and he hadn't spoken so directly for a long time since they left Shacheng, and there was an inexplicable alienation between them. The scene when they parted last time was not pleasant, which made Ying Baoyue even more confused about how to speak.

Even just holding hands, she could feel that he had lost a lot of weight.

After recovering a lot of memories, she has not yet thought about how to face Li Ji, or even what to say to him when she meets him again.

Does he remember the past? Does he know who she is? In his eyes, who is she now?
Countless thoughts surged up and blocked Ying Baoyue's throat, leaving her speechless.

Li Ji looked at her silently, as if he didn't know what to say.

Just when Ying Baoyue thought she was the only one who could speak first, Li Ji was the first to break the dead silence.

"you……"

Li Ji stuttered a little and found it difficult to speak, but worry overcame everything. He asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Ying Baoyue was startled and shook her head.

Huge changes were taking place inside her body, but compared to the previous state of chaos and pain in her veins, everything in her body was now clear and no longer chaotic and disordered.

All because she found her way.

Ying Baoyue was silent for a moment, "Why are you here?"

Li Ji was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly, "Didn't you come when I broke through?"

Even though he took huge risks, he still rushed to his side desperately.

She broke through, how could he not come?
Ying Baoyue understood the implication of Li Ji's words, looked into his eyes and spoke softly, "Didn't you say before that you should stay away from me?"

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, then remembered that these were the words he said when he and Ying Baoyue parted ways in Shacheng. At that time, his inner demons were getting worse and he was worried that he would hurt her, so he said such words.

At that time, Ying Baoyue's reaction was very calm. He didn't expect that she would still remember it.

"I……"

Li Ji opened his mouth and lowered his gaze slightly, "Sorry."

Ying Baoyue was stunned. She didn't think Li Ji had done anything wrong, so she quickly said, "I'm not..."

She couldn't finish her words because she realized that Li Ji was not apologizing for this matter.

Li Ji raised his head and looked into her eyes quietly, "I'm here because..."

"I want to see you."

I miss you
In fact, this is the only reason
