Chapter 130 Sinking
Qiu Ziyue's disappearance plunged Qi Yuxuan and Lu Yuanchangming into deep despair, but they did not give up easily.
Instead, they became even more determined to find her.
"No matter what, we must find Twilight Sparkle."
Lu Yuanchangming said with a firm gaze, "I will use all available resources."
Qi Yuxuan nodded, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes: "Yes, I won't let her just disappear like that."
Lu Yuanchangming mobilized all available resources by leveraging his connections within the military.
He contacted nearby troops and requested assistance in the search.
The soldiers acted swiftly, launching a thorough search.
"We must search every corner and leave no stone unturned," Lu Yuanchangming said to his deputy.
Qi Yuxuan, along with several senior brothers, searched along the possible routes Qiu Ziyue might have taken.
They visited nearby villages and forests, and even asked passersby, but still could not get any valuable clues.
Several days have passed, and despite everyone's best efforts, there is still no news about Qiu Ziyue.
One evening, Lu Yuanchangming received a letter from his deputy general, saying that no trace of them had been found.
Lu Yuanchangming and Qi Yuxuan wandered in the mountains for a long time, and finally had to admit that the search had failed once again.
Faced with such a cruel reality, the two suffered a tremendous blow.
The determination and courage I once had were gradually replaced by endless sorrow.
Lu Yuanchangming and Qi Yuxuan returned to Luming Tower and started drinking, trying to numb themselves with alcohol.
Chu Yujue, Yin Lihen, and Muguangcheng all tried to dissuade them.
"How can I live if I can't find her?"
In the dead of night, Qi Yuxuan and Lu Yuanchangming were both completely drunk, their eyes filled with helplessness.
"Did we really do our best?" Qi Yuxuan murmured to himself, his voice low and hoarse.
Lu Yuanchangming shook his head, tears welling up in his eyes: "I don't know... I really don't know."
"Ziyue...where are you?" Qi Yuxuan raised his head and looked at the starry sky, as if trying to find the answer there.
Lu Yuanchangming was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "If we can't find her, there's really no point in living."
The two drank alone in silence.
A few days later, Lu Yuanchangming returned to the military camp due to military affairs.
Meanwhile, Qi Yuxuan continued searching for Qiu Ziyue.
One night, the moonlight shone on the earth, and all around was quiet.
Qi Yuxuan got drunk again and staggered to the spot where he and Qiu Ziyue had been watching the stars together in the tree.
He stood on the edge of the cliff, the cold wind blowing in his face, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past.
Those times spent with Qiu Ziyue flashed through my mind.
"Ziyue...where are you?" Qi Yuxuan's voice trembled slightly as it echoed in the empty valley.
He closed his eyes and could almost see Qiu Ziyue standing in front of him, smiling gently.
"Do you remember? We made a wish here..." he said softly, tears streaming down his face.
The wind grew stronger, as if responding to his call.
Qi Yuxuan suddenly looked up and shouted loudly at the night sky, "Ziyue! Come back soon! I really miss you!"
The sound echoed through the valley, lingering for a long time.
However, apart from the sound of the wind and his own echo, there was no response whatsoever.
Qi Yuxuan felt a wave of weakness and slowly sat down on a tree branch.
The despair and longing in his heart intertwined, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
Why did you leave? Why did you leave me to face all of this alone?
In the silence, Qi Yuxuan began to reflect on whether he had done enough.
"Am I too slow to understand? Have I not cherished the time I spent with you?"
He kept blaming himself, hoping to find the answer.
Despite the pain in his heart, he knew he couldn't give up like this.
"Twilight Sparkle, no matter where you are, I will find you."
The sound echoed through the valley, reverberating across every inch of the land.
However, to his surprise, Qiu Ziyue, whom he longed for, was not far from him and heard his call.
At this moment, Qiu Ziyue is healing her injuries in the Demon Spring Pool.
"Who is calling me?" Qiu Ziyue asked.
"Ziyue is Qi Yuxuan."
In response, a man waiting outside said.
"Do you want to go out and see him?" the man asked.
"No need, I'm afraid I don't have long to live. Let's talk about it when I'm fully recovered," Qiu Ziyue said calmly.
"Okay, then you can stay here and heal your wounds. Just call me if you need anything," the man said and left.
Where is Qiu Ziyue now?
Where is this Magic Spring Pool?
It turns out that the Demon Spring Pool is located halfway up the cliff. Its stone gate is very hidden, and tall pine branches cover the outside of the stone gate, so ordinary people can't find it at all.
Since Qiu Ziyue was injured last time, she was emotionally agitated, which caused her heart and blood vessels to become disordered, leading her to go mad.
Qiu Ziyue knew that if she didn't find the right treatment, she probably wouldn't live much longer.
After Qi Yuxuan left, she thought and thought and finally came up with the best place to heal her wounds: the Demon Spring Pool.
Who told her about the Demon Spring Pool?
That's Leng Feng.
Last time, Leng Feng also joined in the fun and asked to marry Qiu Ziyue. When he got close to Qiu Ziyue, he secretly slipped a note to her.
Qiu Ziyue returned to her residence and opened the note alone. It read, "If you encounter any calamities or serious injuries in the future, please go to the Demon Spring Pool for treatment." A map was drawn on the back of the note.
After careful consideration, Qiu Ziyue decided not to tell anyone around her and left alone to heal her wounds.
That night, when all was quiet, she found the Demon Spring Pool by herself, following the directions on the map.
She gently knocked on the pool door, and as the door slowly opened, she fainted.
When Qiu Ziyue slowly opened her eyes, she found herself in a place that looked like a fairyland.
It is surrounded by towering mountains, shrouded in clouds and mist.
The area where she was located was the legendary Demon Spring Pool.
The Magic Spring Pool is located deep in the mountains and valleys, surrounded by lush vegetation and towering ancient trees.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting golden beams that dappled the ground.
The banks of the pool are covered with exotic flowers and plants, colorful and exuding a faint fragrance that is intoxicating.
When Qiu Ziyue's gaze fell upon the Demon Spring Pool before her, she couldn't help but marvel at it.
The pool water is crystal clear, like a giant mirror, reflecting the surrounding mountains and sky.
The pool water has a strange blue color, like a deep gemstone, radiating a soft light.
The water in the pool murmured, and clear spring water gushed out from between the rocks, forming a tranquil lake.
The water surface was as smooth as a mirror, with a few small silver fish occasionally darting through it, creating tiny ripples.
The stones by the pool were covered with a layer of green moss, which contrasted beautifully with the azure water.
The scenery around the pool is even more breathtaking.
The pool is surrounded by countless crystal stones, which shimmer brilliantly in the sunlight, as if they were a treasure bestowed upon this land by nature.
A small stone bridge spans the pool, its body carved from white marble, with exquisite and lifelike patterns adorning the railings.
Not far away, a waterfall cascades down from the cliff, plunging three thousand feet into the pool and creating layers of splashing water.
Water splashes into the air, turning into fine drizzle that nourishes the surrounding flowers, grass, and trees.
Several huge stones are scattered around the pool, covered with ancient runes, seemingly recording the legendary stories that once took place here.
Qiu Ziyue realized that this Demon Spring Pool was actually a secluded place hidden deep inside the cliff.
Its entrance is halfway up a cliff, but the exit is still unknown, making it difficult for outsiders to find.
You wake up, a voice says, and a man walks out.
The man had an upright posture and a steady gait, as if he possessed an aura of coolness.
His face was as exquisite as jade carving, and his fair skin appeared even more delicate and smooth under the soft light.
His eyebrows were like distant mountains, slender and upturned, his nose was straight, and his lips were thin but carried a hint of gentleness. When the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, it was like a spring breeze caressing his face.
He wore a black crown, with a few strands of jet-black hair falling across his forehead. He was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, the fabric of which was soft and delicately embroidered with subtle patterns that were faintly visible as he moved.
He wore a jade belt around his waist, from which hung several antique jade pendants that swayed gently with his steps, producing a soft clinking sound, like heavenly music.
Overall, this man is not only outstanding in appearance, but also possesses an extraordinary temperament that makes him irresistible.
"Who are you?" Qiu Ziyue asked.
