The End Times as a Song

Chapter 257 Fighting

early morning

A rooster's crow broke the tranquility of the long night.

“It’s dawn…!” Lin Yin held Huan Ruge’s hand and looked out the window. The dawn’s light shone through the window paper and fell on Huan Ruge.

Lin Yin kept watch all night without closing his eyes, but Huan Rugo remained fast asleep, showing no signs of waking up. He turned to look at Huan Rugo, gently stroking her forehead, and found that her body temperature had returned to normal. His worries finally dissipated.

Lin Yin gently lowered her hand, slowly stood up, and used magic to tidy up the messy room. The broken tables and chairs, the shards of porcelain scattered on the floor, and the water stains all disappeared, replaced by a clean and tidy environment.

"That way...! You won't have these wild thoughts when you wake up...!" Lin Yin murmured softly, a hint of longing and reluctance in his eyes. He turned and walked towards the door, glancing back at Huan Rugo, a wave of reluctance washing over him, before stepping outside.

Lin Yin's steps were heavy, each one filled with reluctance and longing. He knew in his heart that he could not stay here any longer; there were still many things waiting for him to accomplish. However, deep in his heart, he remained concerned about the sleeping Huan Rugo.

With Lin Yin's departure, the room fell silent, leaving only Huan Rugo lying quietly on the bed. Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating her pale face and her tightly closed eyes, as if foreshadowing a new beginning.

After a while, Huan Rugo slowly opened her eyes from the nightmare. Her eyes were filled with fear and despair. She gripped the blanket tightly with both hands and gasped for fresh air, as if she had just gone through a life-or-death ordeal.

She sat up in terror, her lips trembling, repeatedly muttering, "Mother...!" Her voice was choked with sobs, and tears blurred her vision.

Still shaken, she looked around blankly and found herself in a familiar room. Everything in the room was unchanged, just as she had left it, only unusually clean and tidy.

She stared blankly at everything before her, the scene of Xiao Yuanran dying in her arms flashing through her mind. She secretly rejoiced, thinking, "Thank goodness, this isn't real...!"

However, when she came to her senses and realized that this was not a simple nightmare, a chill ran down her spine, making her feel cold all over.

She murmured to herself, "No, this isn't a dream... A dream can't be this real, it can't be a dream!"

Her heart pounded faster and faster, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She decided to go to her mother's room immediately to check on her.

So she hurriedly got out of bed and put on her shoes, but because she was too nervous, she rushed out before she had even finished dressing and accidentally tripped and fell.

She scrambled to her feet, rubbing her knees, but ignoring the pain, and continued running towards the door.

As she ran, she silently prayed that her mother would be safe and sound.

Meanwhile, in Xiao Yuanran's room, Xiong Xi had been keeping watch by her bedside all night, and was so exhausted that he couldn't help but doze off. Lin Yin entered Xiao Yuanran's room without Xiong Xi noticing. Lin Yin used magic to lift Xiao Yuanran into the air, wanting to see if there was any remaining spiritual energy in her body, and to see if there was any chance to revive her.

"I say, my good master, you can barely save yourself, yet you still want to save a woman whose spiritual power is exhausted and who is lifeless. What are you doing? Don't be stubborn. Why don't you save your little bit of dissipated spiritual power and live for a few hundred more years?" Lin Yin heard the complaining and helpless voice of the Da Nian Beast.

"Shut up...!" Lin Yin growled in a low voice.

Just then, Huan Rugo rushed into Xiao Yuanran's room and shouted at Lin Yin, "What are you doing? Don't touch my mother...!"

Seeing Xiao Yuanran being lifted into the air by Lin Yin's magic, Huan Ruge was extremely anxious. She immediately rushed forward to try to stop Lin Yin's actions.

Lin Yin looked at Huan Rugo, a hint of helplessness and pain flashing in his eyes, but he did not stop what he was doing.

Huan Rugo cried out anxiously, "Lin Yin, what exactly do you want to do? Put my mother down right now!"

Lin Yin silently looked at Huan Ruge without saying a word.

Seeing that Lin Yin had no intention of letting go of Xiao Yuanran, Huan Ruge stepped forward and attacked Lin Yin.
