Chapter 279 Prayer
Ji Yan knelt beside the ice platform, his arms tightly wrapped around Yu Yao's body with a greedy air.
Her body was very cold; she couldn't feel any warmth at all.
For a moment, Ji Yan felt a pang of heartache and fear, afraid that she had already left and would never look at him again!
The ice sculpture, which was about to dissipate, sighed softly and channeled all its remaining divine power into Yu Yao's body.
He instructed Ji Yan, "The Nine Nether Ancient God Body is now complete. I have passed on all my memories and abilities to you. In the future, you must cultivate diligently. How far you can go, and whether you can truly ascend to godhood and become the Ice God, depends on your own destiny. My disciple... I wish that one day you will achieve your desires..."
The ice sculpture vanished completely before its last words had even finished fading.
It was as if he had never existed.
Ji Yan looked up, glanced calmly at the spot where the ice sculpture had disappeared, and then turned his gaze back to Yu Yao.
He could sense that Yu Yao's body contained abundant spiritual power, which was slowly recovering.
He lowered his gaze to Yu Yao's peaceful sleeping face, slowly lowered his head, and wanted to kiss her forehead.
Just this once.
Just let yourself go this once...
When she wakes up, I will obediently return to my position as a friend.
But his lips stopped just a centimeter away from Yu Yao's skin.
That's it.
Friend... you shouldn't have done something so abrupt to her.
Ji Yan smoothed Yu Yao's soft black hair, pressed her against his chest, and tried to warm her up with his body heat.
......
Chi Heng appeared at some point and stood quietly to the side.
She said softly, "Ji Yan, can you give Mi'er back to me now?"
Ji Yan's body trembled, and he slowly turned around to look at the unexpectedly calm Chi Heng.
"I thought you would want to kill me."
Chi Heng didn't answer that question, but instead asked again, "Can you give Mi'er back to me now?"
Ji Yan lowered his eyes and softly hummed in agreement.
"Okay, here you go..."
He gently lifted Yu Yao and handed her to Chi Heng.
Chi Heng carried Yu Yao in his arms and turned to leave.
"Chi Heng!"
Ji Yan suddenly called out to him.
Chi Heng paused slightly, turning around to see Ji Yan still in the same position, kneeling beside the ice platform, looking up at him pleadingly.
"Don't tell her, okay? Don't tell her. I promise I won't do anything to make things difficult for you. I just want to be her friend, just a friend, okay?"
Ji Yan tilted his head back, tears streaming down his reddened eyes and slowly disappearing into his hair.
Chi Heng stared at him expressionlessly, without saying a word.
Just as he turned around, he heard Ji Yan call out again, "Chi Heng, please..."
He spoke the last two words very softly, but Chi Heng still stopped in his tracks.
After a while, he walked away again.
I won't tell her.
As Chi Heng's last words before disappearing reached his ears, Ji Yan suddenly smiled.
Her smile was tinged with tears, like a porcelain doll about to shatter.
"Thanks......"
......
After Chi Heng left with Yu Yao, Ji Yan lingered in the same spot for a long time before slowly getting up and leaving this icy world.
When he left, his hair and pupils had returned to their previous appearance.
It just has a touch more refinement, and its whole body exudes a sense of ice and snow.
He looked calmly at Ye Ziang and the others who were still anxiously waiting for them by the lake, and slowly walked towards them.
Ye Ziang seemed to sense something and turned around. When he saw that Ye Ziang had returned safely, he immediately showed a look of surprise and joy.
She ran towards him excitedly, shouting as she went.
"Old Ji! Why are you only coming out now! Where's Yu Yao? Haven't you found her?"
Ji Yan paused slightly, then slowly smiled.
"She and Captain Chi went back first, so there's no need to wait for them anymore."
"Huh? They left again?"
"Yes, they have some things to take care of."
"Alright, alright, but what about you? Why did you take so long? And why is Ling Xipei broken?"
The shattering of Ji Yan's precious jade pendant severed the connection between him and Ye Zi'ang.
The interior space has also collapsed by half.
Ye Ziang was scared half to death.
"I'm sorry to have worried you. How are you? Are you all alright?"
Ye Ziang calmly waved his hand.
"I am fine."
He was indeed ambushed by a level four zombie when he was transferring his superpower to Ling Xipei.
However, he was not alone; Jiao Yang, He Jiang, and the others quickly joined forces to kill him.
"I just want to know what happened to you?"
Ji Yan smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. I ran into a tough guy. Ling Xipei rushed out to protect me and blocked it, and then she shattered."
"then you......"
“I’m definitely fine. If Ling Xipei is broken, so be it. You can use your own half of the space from now on. I still have the space ring that Yu Yao gave me.” Ji Yan added.
Ye Ziang frowned, and after a long while asked, "To be honest, what exactly happened to you?"
Seeing that Jiao Yang and the others were a few steps behind and about to surround them, Ji Yan smiled helplessly, "Is this the time to talk about these things?"
Ye Ziang sighed helplessly, "Alright, let's hurry back to the base."
"Ah."
