The End Times as a Song

Chapter 256 The Long Night

"Useless! You can't even save a woman. Don't tell me you're my master, Da Nian Beast Qi? You're so stupid!" Da Nian Beast Qi suddenly jumped out, hovering in the air, mocking Lin Yin.

Lin Yin was already in a bad mood, and hearing Da Nian's words made him even worse, but he still held back. After all, Da Nian was his and Huan Rugo's bonded love beast, and there was no need to argue with a little beast like him, which would only make things get out of control.

Lin Yin took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, and then asked in a low voice, "What's your plan...?"

The Da Nian beast glanced at Lin Yin and, noticing that Lin Yin wasn't throwing a tantrum as usual, immediately stepped forward to fawn over him: "Have you forgotten me and my sister? We're love beasts; once we recognize a master, we'll protect him. If you're alright, she'll be alright too...! Don't worry about it."

Lin Yin felt slightly relieved upon hearing this, but his expression remained extremely unpleasant. He coldly said, "Isn't that obvious?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Weren't you just anxious? The fact that you're so calm now is all thanks to me." The Da Nian Beast proudly took credit for himself.

Lin Yin didn't argue with the Da Nian beast. He didn't continue speaking and became unusually quiet. He quietly looked at Huan Rugo, silently praying that she would wake up soon.

The Dragon Beast seemed to sense Lin Yin's worry. It flew over gently, patted Lin Yin's shoulder, and comforted him, "Don't worry, trust me, she will be alright."

After a while, the Da Nian beast frowned slightly, then muttered to itself, "Something's not right! Normally, it should be awake by now. What's going on?"

Lin Yin looked at the Da Nian beast nervously and asked, "How is it? Is there a problem?"

The dragon-year beast shook its head and said, "It should be nothing serious, but it may take some time to recover."

Lin Yin breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked with some concern, "How long will it take for him to wake up?"

The dragon beast thought for a moment and replied, "It's hard to say. Maybe soon, maybe we'll have to wait a while."

Lin Yin glanced at Da Nian Beast Qi with displeasure, and Da Nian Beast Qi suddenly stepped back: "If there's nothing else, I won't bother you anymore...! I'll disappear, and you stay here to take care of her."

After speaking, the dragon-like beast vanished into thin air. Lin Yin sat by the bedside, holding Huan Rugo's hand tightly, silently watching over her. He hoped she would wake up soon, but at the same time, he feared she wouldn't be able to bear it all. This inner conflict tormented him.

"I never imagined this day would come so soon…!" Lin Yin murmured to himself, his voice filled with helplessness and worry. He knew that ever since they met, he had harbored a special emotional dependence on Huan Rugo. Ever since he learned that Huan Rugo was the divine source he was searching for, he had never known how to face her. He never expected that their reunion in Fangcao Village would be like this.

Lin Yin recalled every moment he had spent with Huan Rugo, those beautiful times vividly before his eyes. He remembered every instant they had shared, every laugh and every tear. These memories were incredibly precious to him, and at the same time, they made him realize that he could not lose Huan Rugo.

Lin Yin stared intently at Huan Rugo's pale face, silently praying in his heart: "No matter what happens, I will face it with you."

The night stretched on endlessly, and Lin Yin devoted himself entirely to caring for Huan Ruge. He gently stroked her hair, a dull ache in his heart; his time was running out. He hadn't expected fate to be so unfair to him; the person he loved was actually the very divine source he had been searching for for centuries, the source of their mutual antagonism.

Lin Yin silently gazed out the window. A bright moon shone down on Huan Rugo, making her appear exceptionally radiant. The long night stretched on, and he stayed up all night watching over Huan Rugo, unable to resolve the confusion in her heart.
