Blood streamed down.
It ran along her face.
Mixing with her tears.
Yet Zhu Zhuqing
showed no intention
of stopping.
A small pool of blood
formed on the ground.
The sight was utterly shocking.
The air was thick with the stench of blood.
Several minutes later, Zhu Zhuqing began to lose consciousness
from excessive blood loss.
Yet she continued, bowing her head again and again.
Her nerves were taut.
Her eyes were filled with sorrow and unease.
Suddenly, at that moment, Zhu Zhuqing's body
came to an abrupt stop.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Somehow, it felt as though something important
had quietly slipped away.
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly turned around
and looked toward
her sister Zhu Zhuyun on the grass.
At this moment, all life had completely drained from her body.
The aura of death shrouded her.
Yet unbelievably, Zhu Zhuyun's eyes
were wide open, fixed tightly on Zhu Zhuqing.
They were still filled with deep reluctance to part.
Her life force was gone.
Star Luo Empire.
The eldest daughter of the Zhu Family, Zhu Zhuyun...
was dead.
And she had died with her eyes open.
She could not let go of her younger sister, Zhu Zhuqing.
She could not let go of their father in the Zhu Family.
Nor could she let go of the Zhu Family clansmen.
As Zhu Zhuqing watched this scene, the tears at the corners of her eyes stopped.
Her whole body went numb.
She did not move.
Her eyes stared blankly
into her sister Zhu Zhuyun's eyes.
At that moment, in her mind, memories resurfaced.
The times she had spent with her sister as a child.
Those happy, joyful, beautiful days.
And the days from not long ago, when the two had reconciled as before, making their shared hopes and wishes
to become gods
