The End Times as a Song

Chapter 171 Returning to the Room

Yan Cai quickly carried Li Luo on his back to her room and placed her on the bed.

"I'm exhausted. Should I tell Aunt Lan and ask her to take care of Li Luo?"

"No, Ah Cai, I'm fine. Don't tell my mother."

Li Luo suddenly grabbed Yan Cai's hand, stopping him from going to find Lan Zhou.

"I'm glad you're alright. You should rest well. I'll go out and find you something to eat. You haven't eaten or slept well for days, no wonder you fainted from hunger."

"...!"

Li Luo didn't speak, but sat up blankly, hunching over in a daze. Yan Cai waved his hand in front of Li Luo, but Li Luo remained in a daze, as if she were a wooden statue.

Yan Cai looked at Li Luo with heartache, thinking indignantly, "Sigh...! What kind of mess is this? She came back so happily, only to end up like this? Never mind, a heart ailment needs a heart remedy. I have to find Tu Shan Yan and make him explain himself..."

Yan Cai turned away helplessly and walked towards Li Luo's door, glancing back every now and then to see what Li Luo was doing. She was still a little worried. She turned to look at the door and thought to herself, "Time is running out! Tu Shan Yan has probably already left Bu Li Gu. I have to hurry and intercept him."

Just as Iwata stepped out the door, two maids stopped him.

"Young Master Yan Cai, please wait."

"How dare you, Chong Qing, stop me?"

"This servant wouldn't dare, please forgive me, Young Master Yan Cai? Did Clan Chief Lan Zhou instruct this servant to keep an eye on you, Young Master?"

"Looking at me? Are you kidding me? I don't belong to Bu Ligu. Your clan leader can control me. Who do you think you are, Chong Qing? You think you can stop me?"

"Young Master Yan Cai, if you insist on making things difficult for Chong Qing, then Chong Qing has no choice but to offend you!"

After Chong Qing finished speaking, his eyes turned particularly fierce, and he immediately drew a sharp blue sword in his hand, ready to fight.

“Chongqing, we Butterfly Clan members are not so easy to bully. Aunt Lan’s instruction to keep an eye on me is a gross underestimation of me.”

Yan Cai smiled and glanced coldly at Chong Qing, a slight smile playing on her lips. Then, she quickly produced a round fan and launched an attack on Chong Qing.

Chong Qing thrust his sword forward, but Yan Cai easily dodged it. He circled around Chong Qing's sword, waved his fan, and scattered colorful powder, easily winning the battle.

"Young Master Yan Cai, what is this? It smells so good...!"

After Chong Qing finished speaking, he lost consciousness and fainted.

Yan Cai glanced disdainfully behind him, snorted coldly, and said, "Hmph, Chong Qing, you should take a good rest!" After saying that, he turned and left.

After Yan Cai left, Lan Zhou came to Li Luo's door and looked at the distraught Li Luo with tears in her eyes: "Li Luo, my child, don't be silly, you should wake up."

Lan Zhou didn't go into the room to look for Li Luo, but instead left pretending not to know anything.

"Ah Yan, after all these years of waiting and companionship, do you really not have me in your heart? Do you really have no feelings for me at all? Do you know that my heart can only hold you, and there is no room for anyone else?"

Li Luo couldn't hold back her tears, which streamed down her face, soaking her clothes. She wiped them away with the back of her hand, trying to remain calm.

Walking away from the lonely road

Tu Shanyan and his two companions were on their way back when Yan Cai finally caught up with them and shouted after Tu Shanyan, "Tu Shanyan, stop right there!"

Upon hearing Yan Cai's voice, Tu Shan Yan immediately turned around and looked at Yan Cai suspiciously: "Yan Cai, what brings you here? Weren't you at Li Luo's wedding banquet? Why are you here looking for me?"

Yan Cai gasped for breath, pointed at Tu Shan Yan, and yelled, "Tu Shan Yan, what are you pretending for?"
