Chapter 2847: Chapter 2848: I’m Not Dead!
This child is so young, yet already so determined. Gao Zhou didn’t know whether to feel pleased or angry. He wanted to scold Little Dengdeng a few words, but recalling the recent events, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.
He picked Little Dengdeng up, "Dengdeng, listen to Grandpa. You must take good care of yourself first, otherwise your father and mother will be angry."
Little Dengdeng, being very sensible, saw that Grandpa’s eyes were red. Although he didn’t completely agree, he nodded in response.
Afterward, Gao Zhou instructed someone to handle Zhu Ning’s remains and asked Chushuang to take Dengdeng to bed.
In Bai Ruozhu’s room, her eyes were tightly shut, but a faint halo emerged and quickly disappeared.
"How did I get in here?" She glanced around, activating the "big screen" with a thought, and saw herself still lying on the bed outside, with Jiang Yichun, exhausted and unconscious, nearby.
It became clear to her that she was in her soul form—she had an out-of-body experience!
After all, she had come over in soul form, and her soul had never been stable. Once, because Ning Yu cast a spell, her soul was drawn out of her body, almost causing a catastrophe.
Later, Master Pudeng identified her problem, suggested she nurture her soul with Gold, which strengthened her soul considerably, but unexpectedly she was out of her body again. Was she doomed this time?
Unwillingly, she looked towards the outside world at Jiang Yichun. She wanted to reach out and touch him but was completely unable to leave the space.
Suddenly, Jiang Yichun’s eyelashes fluttered, and he slowly opened his eyes.
As soon as he regained consciousness, he sat up abruptly. Seeing Bai Ruozhu lying on the bed not far away, he heaved a great sigh of relief and hurriedly got off the bed to be by her side.
"Ruozhu, how are you?" he asked softly, stretching out his hand to gently grasp her hand.
Her body was covered in Glutinous rice and Vermilion, with only a bit of her fingertip exposed. He carefully caressed her fingertip, with undisguised heartache in his eyes.
Suddenly, his expression changed dramatically, "Why is her hand so cold? Ruozhu!"
Jiang Yichun panicked and reached to check her pulse. His face was becoming more and more grim, and the other hand trembled as it stretched under her nose.
"No! Ruozhu!" he suddenly screamed, disregarding the Glutinous rice and Vermilion, and hugged her tightly, "Ruozhu, wake up, open your eyes and see, I didn’t allow you to die!"
Inside the space, Bai Ruozhu covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face. No wonder she entered the space earlier.
It was because her soul had separated from her body just now. Normally, with her soul far away, she would have died, but the space absorbed her soul, allowing her to witness everything.
"Achun..." she sobbed, calling his name. The person outside was already crying heart-wrenchingly. She had never seen Achun like this and never imagined that her death would have such an effect on Achun.
Gao Zhou and the others rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Chushuang went to check Bai Ruozhu’s pulse, exclaiming in horror, "Impossible, Ruozhu’s condition had stabilized, how could she be dead?"
Chushuang had just been coaxing Little Dengdeng to sleep, and Little Dengdeng followed and came over.
He looked fearfully at his lifeless mother and his emotionally broken father. No, his mother was so powerful, she couldn’t be dead!
Bai Ruozhu sobbed in the space, "I’m still alive, I’m still alive, Achun, Dengdeng, don’t be sad, I’m still alive, right by your side!"
Sadly, the people outside couldn’t hear her words, and she couldn’t leave the space. She didn’t know whether the space was protecting or restricting her. How could she let them know she wasn’t dead?
"Ruozhu, I will stay with you, accompany you wherever you go." Jiang Yichun said, somewhat lost, hugging Bai Ruozhu tightly, suddenly raising his hand and striking towards his head fiercely.
"Yichun!" Gao Zhou hurriedly lunged forward, blocking his hand.
"Dad, let go of me; it’s my fault for not protecting her." Jiang Yichun said painfully.
Gao Zhou’s tears flowed down, "Nonsense! What about the children? Would you disregard them? How could you face Ruozhu if you do this?"
Sadly, Jiang Yichun couldn’t hear anything at this moment, his all-encompassing love and life having already left him, leaving him without the courage to carry on living.
Chushuang, seeing his loss of control, deftly pressed his sleep acupoint, and Jiang Yichun fell limply, landing right beside Bai Ruozhu, his hand still clutching hers tightly.
This scene made Chushuang cry like rain, as if the two had passed on together; even though Jiang Yichun was still breathing, his heart was already dead.
"Let him be for a while." Chushuang said chokingly.
Little Dengdeng sobbed, "My mom isn’t dead. She can’t be dead!"
Bai Ruozhu sat down heavily on the ground, the scene just now terrifying her almost to the point of soul dispersal. If Gao Zhou had been a second slower, Achun would have battered himself to death!
Chushuang hugged Dengdeng and cried, thinking of what would happen to the children in the future.
"That’s it, find the White Dragon, he must have a way!" Chushuang suddenly thought of the White Dragon, "If we return the Dragon Ball to him, he can wake up from his slumber and surely save Ruozhu!"
Gao Zhou was stunned, after a while he asked, "But what about you? Without the Dragon Ball, you won’t survive."
"I was meant to die. To have met you, seen our son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren is already more than I could have asked for. What more could I wish for?" Chushuang smiled bitterly, "It’s my fault for not taking care of Ruozhu, it’s my uselessness. If she can live, Achun won’t seek death, and the children won’t lose their mother."
Gao Zhou hugged her tightly, crying, "But..."
But if you die, I can’t live alone either.
Yet one side is his wife, and the other is his son’s family. He couldn’t be so selfish, still not knowing how to be utterly selfless.
Chushuang hugged him briefly, then pushed him away, "We can’t waste time, I fear it’ll be too late. Ajiang, meeting you was the happiest thing in my life. See you in the next life."
"Chushuang, Chushuang..." Gao Zhou cried, repeating her name endlessly.
Chushuang began to summon Qi, and the Dragon Ball slowly moved upwards, eventually coming out of her mouth, and her complexion visibly aged rapidly.
The pain was so acute, Gao Zhou felt as if he was suffocating. But in the next moment, the Dragon Ball circled gleefully and then darted right back into Chushuang’s body, and she soon returned to her previous state.
"What’s happened? Why won’t it go to find the White Dragon?" Chushuang asked in horror.
Gao Zhou held her close, she hadn’t died! She hadn’t died!
But what about Bai Ruozhu? Was she just going to die like this?
"The White Dragon said it would slumber for a hundred years; perhaps it cannot awaken." Gao Zhou said.
Chushuang shook her head vigorously, "No, no, I’ll try again. I must find a way to save Ruozhu."
She tried again, but the Dragon Ball refused to budge. Earlier, the Dragon Ball when finding no master, recognized only Chushuang as its host. Without the White Dragon appearing, it would never leave.
