Chapter 721: Death of Ying Miao; Past that cannot be returned; Strange Year of Peace

Seeing Chang Le, Ying Huaixia just nodded slightly and looked away.

When she reached the door, she saw Ying Xuanxu and Shen Zheng questioning and taking notes, and the guards stopped her.

The two had asked the last question, and Ying Miao's voice sounded weak.

After asking, the two left. Chang Le took out Gu Lianghan's certificate, dismissed the guards, walked in and sat beside the bed.

Ying Miao was lying on the bed, sinking into the center of the soft blanket. The once undefeated beauty had become emaciated, haggard, and weak in just a few days. Time, which was already coming to an end, was draining her life away at an accelerated rate.

When Ying Miao saw Fu Jiu's face, she was shocked at first, but then she became complicated after realizing that he was not an old friend.

"My name is Fu Jiu, and I'm here to ask the old lady a few questions on behalf of Chang Le."

Ying Miao nodded slowly.

"Do you know the laboratory under Yanhui Tower?"

Ying Miao was silent, and Chang Le had already read the answer from her silence.

Chang Le secretly activated the [Networking] and said, "You also know that the laboratory has not been abandoned, or in other words, you even participated in the use of that laboratory, right?"

Ying Miao said slowly: "Yes."

"I heard that you and Qin Shaoji were once partners. Do you know what experiments he participated in?"

"Young man," Ying Miao said, "there are some things that cannot be said openly."

Chang Le pointed to the silver ring on her wrist and said, "Besides you, me and the guy outside, no one else knows about our conversation."

Ying Miao was silent for a moment before asking, "What did you know?"

Chang Le said: "The last time I saw Qin Shaoji, he told me that he believed in fusion because he had experienced it himself."

Ying Miao's pupils suddenly dilated and his hands were clenched until they turned pale.

Chang Le continued, "Do you know how he died? He died because of the impossible false fusion that he was most obsessed with, believed in, and understood the most.

You deliberately let him steal the medicine because you knew what the medicine was and what the consequences would be. You wanted to use this to kill Qin Shaoji, to convict the Qin family of the crime, and to let him reveal the secret that you two had kept together.

You knew he would die, and you had already decided to die with him. But do you know what he will look like when he dies?

He took the pill, and then he soared up like a miracle, but soon his body was like a rapidly expanding balloon, breaking through the limits of his flesh and blood uncontrollably.

Then, his limbs, face, and neck all began to crack, and finally, with a bang, they turned into flesh that flew everywhere.

Oh, my people have recovered some body tissues, you should see…”

"Enough!" Ying Miao yelled with all his strength, panting rapidly with excitement, "What on earth do you want to know?!"

Chang Le leaned forward and said in a voice that Ying Huaixia couldn't hear: "Tell me, what is that laboratory researching?"

"I won't……"

Chang Le interrupted: "Tell me, in the future, I will leave a breath for the Ying family, especially Ying Huaixia."

Ying Miao collapsed, his lips trembling as he uttered a few words.

Chang Le's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Ying Miao seemed to have lost all the strength in his body, and he spoke again with a trembling voice: "Xiao Xia, what happened to Lord Dragon Emperor back then had nothing to do with him. That child really wanted to save people back then."

Chang Le looked at her, hummed, and turned away.

Behind him, Ying Miao suddenly took a breath and perked up.

Chang Le walked out, stopped in front of Ying Huaixia, and said, "She's dying."

Ying Miao was clearly having a last burst of energy.

Ying Huaixia did not move, and Chang Le ignored him and turned away.

Ying Miao lay on the hospital bed, looking at the door expectantly until her vision began to blur and she did not see the child come in. She let out a long sigh and turned to look at the sunlight outside the window.

The sun is shining brightly today and it is still early. If she goes to bed now, maybe she can still catch up with Old Man Qin.

Ying Miao slowly closed her eyes and had a very long dream from which she would not wake up.

One hundred and ten years ago, a baby was born in the Qin family and the Ying family at the same time, namely Qin Shaoji and Ying Miao.

The two families fought openly and secretly, and the two extraordinary and outstanding children also grew up together, competing with each other. Although they mostly fought against each other, they were truly childhood sweethearts.

Unconsciously, the two got used to each other's company.

At that time, Ying Miao had an older brother, and the elders in her family trained her as an "assistant minister" with great talent for cultivation, focusing on the cultivation of supernatural powers and martial arts training.

The little girl was proud and pampered. She never told her family when she was tired or suffering. However, Qin Shaoji, her mortal enemy, was the one who saw the most of her tears.

In the field where Ying Miao was not good at, Qin Shaoji defeated her. He couldn't bear to see her cry and tried hard to comfort her.

Qin Shaoji is the only son and has a heavier burden than Ying Miao. When he is most tired, Ying Miao's stimulation is the best stimulant.

The two grew up playing and fighting with each other, and at the age of first falling in love, it was natural for them to confess their love to each other in the Zhaixing Tower and run towards each other.

The boy and the girl pledged their lives to each other, agreed to practice together to reach the highest level, clear the obstacles of family feuds between the two, and promised to be together for the rest of their lives.

The starry sky of the Zhaixing Tower is beautiful, like a dream.

At the age of 26, Ying Miao broke through to the eighth level first and his cultivation went smoothly.

Qin Shaoji, who was the same age as him, had stagnated in his cultivation. The more he practiced, the harder it was for him to find the bottleneck. He made no progress in his cultivation for several years. The pressure and opposition from his family grew louder and louder, making it even more difficult for him to concentrate on his cultivation.

That year, their passionate love was exposed by the elders of the clan.

Both were severely punished and forcibly placed under house arrest separately.

When they separated, they promised each other that they would wait for each other.

But half a year later, Ying Miao's brother died unexpectedly in battle, and she suddenly became the successor.

Ying Miao was very resistant.

That means that she and Qin Shaoji will completely live with the hundreds of years of grudges and hatred between the two families, and they will never be able to be together.

Ying Miao disagreed, but the elders of the clan scattered her brother's ashes to force her to agree, forcing her mother to slit her throat and commit suicide in front of her, and her father to burn himself to death for love.

The elder of the clan told her: "Ying Miao, only when you have power and strength can you decide your own destiny."

From that moment on, the innocence of the past twenty years was wiped out silently, and the only one left was a puppet carrying heavy burdens and expectations, and full of desire for power.

Ying Miao cut off all contact with Qin Shaoji, and rejected Qin Shaoji who finally broke through the eighth level and came to tell her about this, and told him that they would no longer have any contact from then on.

Even in her dream, she still clearly remembered Qin Shaoji's distraught look.

At the age of thirty, Ying Miao married the head of the Si family, who was at the super ninth level at that time.

Qin Shaoji came to attend her wedding. Ying Miao didn't say a word to him, nor did she expect that Qin Shaoji would leave a letter saying he was waiting for her and resolutely abandon his family to wander around.

Ying Miao tore up the letter and devoted all his energy to climbing up.

At the age of forty, Ying Miao broke through to the ninth level.

That year, she met Qin Shaoji after ten years of absence. Qin Shaoji was unmarried and childless, and wandered away from his family for ten years to prove his determination to love her. When he came back, he saw Ying Miao, who had both sons and daughters and was extremely powerful.

Facing Qin Shaoji, Ying Miao devalued him from power, status to cultivation, and said to him arrogantly and contemptuously:

"Qin Shaoji, don't be so childish. Those were all childish tricks of the past. We are all adults now. Who would take the past to heart?"

That day, Ying Miao saw Qin Shaoji in his most embarrassed state.

It was also from that day that they went in opposite directions.

Until their old age, when they looked back on the past hundred years and finally sat down peacefully again, even though they were standing shoulder to shoulder, their hearts were already thousands of miles apart.

The innocent boy has disappeared, he walked into the abyss and turned into a dragon;

The innocent girl has long since died, leaving only the ambitious man who was planning.

They went in opposite directions in their best years and could never go back to the way they were before.

Until the wind blows through the rotten bones, all the love and hate are crushed in time.

Whether there is reincarnation in this world is a question that has no answer.

……

On April 4, the region officially passed a meeting, led by the Long faction, to formally implement the new plan and conduct research on the "new three routes".

On April 4, at the meeting where the new plan was announced to begin research, the new representative of the Dragon Faction, Fu Jiu, the new leader of the Dragon Faction, attended the meeting.

On April 4, Chang Le received news from Ziguiti, confirming that what was conducted in the laboratory under the Yanhui Pagoda was an experiment on fake fusion drugs and mutants, which verified Ying Miao's answer.

The implementation of the new plan is carried out simultaneously with the research and search for mutants.

In the strange peace where the Old Ruins were eerily peaceful and the Mutants seemed to have disappeared, Middle-earth began a precious decade-long period of peace.
