36: Li Quan is alive

He walked to the hospital bed.

Ye Tian placed the three items on the bedside table.

"Li Quan entrusted these items to me to give to you."

Glancing at Qi Li, who was in extreme sorrow, Ye Tian did not disturb her further and left the ward.

Although he felt a bit awkward, his goal had been achieved.

Now.

Lin Fan's Protagonist Luck was gone; it was time to deal with him.

In the ward.

As Ye Tian left, only sobs remained.

For a long, long time.

After Qi Li cried herself hoarse alone in the cold ward, her gaze finally settled on the items on the bedside table.

It was a letter, a key, and a ring box.

These were the last things Li Quan left for her!

She propped up her weak body.

Qi Li reached out and picked up the letter.

'Qi Li, meeting you was the luckiest thing in my life.'

'Do you know? After I won our bet, the first thing I thought of was how to go back on my word and keep the engagement going.'

'But you didn't give me a chance. My confession ring will have to wait for later to be placed on your finger... There will definitely be a later.'

"Pat ~" Upon seeing this, Qi Li's tears fell onto the paper.

Who would have thought that yesterday's meeting would be the last?

'Do you remember when we were little? Back then, you said you wanted a castle, a castle full of violets, and you wanted to be the owner of the castle! I thought it was too much trouble and didn't want to accompany you, so you got angry and built your castle haphazardly by yourself.'

'Later, we gradually grew apart, and you grew up, no longer fantasizing about castles.'

'You don't know, do you? I've secretly built the castle for you. If you have time, go take a look. This season is when the violets are in full bloom; it must be beautiful!'

"Woo woo woo..." Her eyes had cried dry, and Qi Li's regret was indescribable... Airport.

Lin Fan held an ID card in his hand.

This was not his ID card, but his current face was extremely similar to the face on the ID card.

The Disguise Technique that Bai Yu Zhe had passed on to him before his death was now somewhat effective.

Lin Fan thought that as long as he got on the plane and went abroad.

The world was vast, and he could go anywhere!

He didn't believe that existences like Li Quan's Protector, who was at Heaven Rank Great Perfection, were common abroad.

Just as Lin Fan was fantasizing, a man casually sat down beside him.

This person was none other than Li Quan's Protector!

Seeing Ye Tian sitting next to him, Lin Fan almost ran away.

Although he had also advanced to Heaven Rank by relying on the fresh blood of Qi Li's Cauldron Body, Heaven Rank Early Stage and Heaven Rank Perfection were completely two different levels!

But then he thought.

He had already disguised himself, and although this guy next to him was powerful, he probably couldn't see through his Disguise Technique, right?

"Want a cigarette?" Ye Tian glanced at the person next to him, a cigarette in his mouth, and simultaneously offered one to Lin Fan.

With his mind completely focused on how to subtly move away from Ye Tian, Lin Fan subconsciously took the cigarette Ye Tian offered.

"Pat ~"

Lighting it, Ye Tian gestured to Lin Fan.

"Thank you." Lin Fan smiled stiffly, letting Ye Tian light it for him.

Out of politeness, Lin Fan took a puff.

"You've been poisoned." Ye Tian, exhaling smoke, casually spoke into Lin Fan's ears.

"Wh-what?!" Lin Fan didn't react for a moment.

Ye Tian, however, did not explain.

"Cough cough!!" Suddenly, Lin Fan clutched his throat, his eyes bulging like those of a dead fish!

"You! You... despicable..." Lin Fan's words to Ye Tian were full of fear.

He wanted to say something more, but his body had already uncontrollably collapsed to the ground.

Many kind-hearted people immediately rushed over.

"Hoo ~" Exhaling white smoke, Ye Tian turned his back to everyone and left the airport.

He brought up the System panel.

The Protagonist was dead.

The current integral was ten million!

... In a vast, white space.

Li Quan had been here for a long time.

At a certain moment, the space subtly rippled, and an existence completely shrouded in black mist, whose appearance and figure were unclear, appeared before Li Quan.

"Congratulations, Host, on completing the mission to save Qi Li."

"Reward: Gold Lucky Draw Card."

"You, are you my System?" Li Quan looked at the existence before him in surprise. This was his 'first' time seeing the System's true form.

"Yes, Host."

"Am I dead now?" Looking at the boundless space around him, Li Quan asked Ye Tian.

Ye Tian nodded: "The Host's spirit body is currently preserved in the System space by the System."

"Can I go back?" Li Quan's question lacked some confidence but contained hope.

In the human world, he still had family, he still had his beloved; he didn't want to lose them.

Ye Tian was silent for a moment regarding Li Quan's question: "Yes, but you will lose something."

"What thing?" Li Quan was clearly analyzing every word the System said.

"You will lose me."

... A week passed in a flash.

The titanic that Li Quan had released had now dominated an era!

The songs Li Quan sang at the concert had become phenomenal hits.

This day.

White clouds like cotton, a gentle breeze.

Mo Hai City, Xianglin Suburban Area No. 1.

A car stopped there.

The car door opened.

A flawless jade leg stepped out.

"Sister Qi Li, do you want me to accompany you?" Inside the car, the agent asked again, worried.

"No need, I'll look around by myself."

Clutching a key in her hand, Qi Li's somewhat haggard face curved into a forced smile.

She stepped forward.

A familiar floral scent filled her nostrils.

After walking for only a short time.

Large patches of violet, like purple elves, came into Qi Li's view.

Looking up, the castle in the sea of flowers was so dreamlike.

'Qi Li's Castle'

Looking at the five characters on the castle, tears welled up in Qi Li's eyes again.

"He did all of this... by himself... Why, why didn't you tell me earlier, why did you bear so much for me?"

She walked through the sea of flowers in front of the castle.

The gentle breeze stirred Qi Li's hair; this sea of flowers was so beautiful.

But the person who should have been with her to see the sea of flowers was gone.

"Qi Li."

Suddenly, a man's voice appeared behind her.

This familiar voice... The woman spun around abruptly.

It was him!

He wasn't dead! He was alive!

In the sea of flowers under the white clouds, the woman, like a swallow returning to its nest, rushed into the man's embrace... Under the myriad stars.

Li Quan stood alone on the castle balcony.

"You've already confirmed your relationship, yet you still shyly ran home. Have you not successfully captured her heart yet?"

Li Quan swirled the red wine in his hand, a look of helplessness on his face.

"Speaking of which, System, is Lin Fan still secretly watching me?"

"System?"

"Sys..."

A cold wind blew, and Li Quan fell silent.

He fumbled for the Gold Lucky Draw Card on his person and looked up at the starry sky.

"Thank you for helping me grow from the night I jumped off a building to where I am today."

"Perhaps, your future is the most exciting."
