WTYTIAAN Chapter 39
by VolareThe process of killing Karenna was very brief.
Just as Henry had said, Yan Yunqing held the longsword, and Karenna automatically regarded him as Henry, showing no resistance to his approach.
Then, Yan Yunqing raised the longsword, aimed it at Henry’s heart, and, at Henry’s signal, fiercely pierced through both of their hearts that were pressed together.
Couldn’t this be considered Cupid’s arrow piercing the heart in another sense?
Henry had lost his hands and could no longer embrace his beloved girl, but it didn’t matter. This sword that had accompanied him throughout his growth would tightly bind them together. He could use his entire life to embrace this girl.
The magic stone on the hilt emitted a faint light, and the pure magic stone was actually devouring and purifying the black mist on Karenna’s body.
Sensing the rapid loss of vitality from its host, the black mist seethed, but it was powerless. It could only allow the magic stone to devour it completely.
The black mist dissipated little by little, revealing Karenna’s face, which had been obscured. Only then did Yan Yunqing see her true appearance clearly.
She had a beautiful face. Her brow and eyes did not have the gentleness of a mage, but rather the heroic spirit of a female knight, sharp and full of vigor. It was the kind of face that would make many people’s hearts flutter.
When placed next to Henry’s naturally handsome baby face, it was surprisingly harmonious.
Karenna had her eyes tightly closed, her face pale, and her brows furrowed, as if she were immersed in that desperate nightmare.
Henry lowered his head with pity, and a gentle kiss landed on her brow. He had already lost his hands and could no longer smooth her furrowed brow for her.
“Don’t stand there in a daze!” Lillian called back the distracted Yan Yunqing. “Those magical creatures on the tree are already rioting. We need to burn the tree as soon as possible.”
To eliminate those magical creatures that had just hatched or were about to hatch!
Yan Yunqing understood. He took one last look at Henry and Karenna, who were tightly nestled together. He retreated a few meters, stood in a safe position, and, together with Lillian, cast a fire spell on the towering tree.
Suddenly, a rushing fire serpent climbed upward around the roots of the giant tree, setting off a heatwave that devoured everything. The fiery red light almost illuminated the entire sky. Countless screams belonging to the magical creatures rose and fell. Sinful desires, along with the crackling sound of the flames, were annihilated in this forest.
Because the fire was too intense, Yan Yunqing had left for a safe enough distance. This place would not be disturbed by the flames, but he could only vaguely see those two nestled figures in the blazing fire.
The flickering firelight shone on Yan Yunqing’s face, landing in his eyes, but still could not illuminate much of his emotions.
He watched as the giant tree was burned, and he could almost hear the tree’s wailing in his ears.
This was a piece of music called “Guardian,” composed of countless lives.
Yan Yunqing’s expression was indifferent, as if he was affected by this wailing sound, falling into some memories he didn’t want to mention.
“Hey—Little Cat! Are you okay? Wake up—you weren’t contaminated, were you?” Lillian kept calling in his ear.
No.
Yan Yunqing responded in his heart, but for some reason, at this moment he had no desire to open his mouth to respond. His eyes were only on the raging fire.
Suddenly, he saw the branches of the giant tree drooping, as if they were tightly embracing the two figures in the center of the fire, until the flames devoured everything, and all disappeared completely.
Yan Yunqing opened his mouth, but a prompt popped up in front of him: 【The ‘Sunset · Lingering Shadow of the Curse’ dungeon has been cleared. Do you want to exit?】
Below was a countdown: 10, 9, 8…
Yan Yunqing blinked his eyes, took one last look at the place where the flames were rising, and chose to exit the dungeon.
【You have exited the dungeon. The dungeon content has been recorded and is automatically generating…】
【The ‘Curse of Sunset Village’ dungeon has been generated. Players are welcome to challenge it again.】

Henry, who had lost his arms, relied on the sword that linked their hearts, moving his body little by little, and sat down at the base of the tree. Karenna was still leaning in his arms, her eyes tightly closed.
Henry raised his head, looking at the sky dyed red by the flames, as if the sun was rising in the east, and gently sang the songs of their childhood.
“I want to become a wisp of wind, drifting away to the distance.”
“To see the distant trees, the distant streams, and the distant you.”
As a undead being, the feeling of being roasted by the flames was not pleasant, but Henry always smiled and hummed happily.
When the flames were about to devour them, Karenna in Henry’s arms finally opened her tightly closed eyes, leaned on Henry, and hummed the second half of the song.
“Smiling you, crying you, lovely you.”
“I will turn into a gentle breeze to see you, to embrace you.”
Henry lowered his head, his eyes full of smiles: “You’re awake.”
Karenna was the same. She stretched out her arms to hug Henry, who could no longer hug her, just like Henry had embraced her countless times before.
“Yes, I’m awake.” Karenna hugged Henry tightly, completely ignoring the sword that was sinking deeper and deeper between their hearts. “Is it a little late?”
“No, how could it be?” Henry chuckled, “Just right.”
Just right for me to see you one last time, and say “I love you” one more time.
The scalding heat wave submerged all the past. At this moment, they only had each other in their eyes.
——I have always been looking forward to seeing you again.
——Even if there are more thorns and bumps ahead, I will cross many obstacles and move towards you firmly.
Their noses touched, their breaths mingled, and their love was vented in every leaping flame.
“…Everyone survived, and the sun will rise as usual tomorrow.”
“Then, can we rest?”
“Of course, my dear girl.”

“We are reborn in the fire, our souls will never wither.”

Yan Yunqing came out of the dungeon and it took a long time before he finally regained his senses.
Lillian was almost dying of anxiety, hugging Yan Yunqing’s face and crying loudly, “Waaah, Little Cat! I thought you were really contaminated. I can’t do something like Henry’s self-sacrificing act, waah waah waah—”
The noisy crying made Yan Yunqing’s head hurt. He pressed his temples, blocked Lillian’s mouth, “Alright, alright, I was just too shocked for a moment and didn’t come back to my senses. Stop crying.”
That kind of flame that seemed to be able to burn everything, watching it live was really shocking.
Regarding the touching love story of Henry and Karenna, Yan Yunqing didn’t have much emotion in his heart. Compared to that fiery love, he was indeed more shocked by their heart of guarding.
Didn’t he say that love affairs can’t affect his heart that’s geared toward his career!
Yan Yunqing checked the game panel and found that all his Sunset Village tasks had been completed, and his level jumped up, directly reaching level twenty-eight.
Yan Yunqing: …?
Yan Yunqing rubbed his eyes incredulously, turned off the panel and reopened it, his level still showed twenty-eight.
“Hiss!” Yan Yunqing jumped in place, and immediately wanted to turn back and brush through the Sunset Village dungeon again.
He was level nineteen before entering the dungeon, and he was already level twenty-eight when he exited the dungeon. A dungeon gave him experience that spanned nine levels! What kind of concept is this?!
If he lived in this dungeon for a month, then could he directly reach max level? By then, gods would be killed if they blocked him, Buddhas would be killed if they blocked him, and those little X Alien family who wanted to kill the king could all be ignored!
Yan Yunqing was very tempted. Although he knew that repeatedly brushing the same dungeon could not give the same amount of experience, he still couldn’t control his hand and wanted to brush this dungeon again.
When Yan Yunqing exited, the panel prompted him that the dungeon content had been recorded and a new dungeon had been generated! He might as well take advantage of the fact that his hands are still hot and brush it again!
He opened the dungeon interface, and regretted to find that dungeon entry also had a CD, and now it was counting down 23:12:45.
Okay, he had to wait a day for the CD.
When Yan Yunqing exited, he suddenly found that there was a CG collection column on the side of the dungeon panel. He clicked it open, and the only CG collected inside was “Sunset.”

This game also has an automatic CG collection function!
It’s worthy of being a classic RPG game! The game system’s functions are still too comprehensive!
Opening “Sunset,” Yan Yunqing saw a sky burned red, with flames burning fiercely, blurring the horizon, and two figures hugging each other could be vaguely seen in the flames.
It was known that Henry had lost his arms, so it was already clear who was hugging who.
In the end, Karenna still woke up…
Henry should be very happy, right? To be able to see Karenna one last time.
A line of small words was marked below the CG: “We are reborn in the fire, our souls will never wither.”
“I thought dying for love was just an ancient legend…”
Yan Yunqing muttered a lyric in a low voice, which Lillian heard completely.
Lillian narrowed her eyes: “What, do you care about Henry and Karenna dying for love?”
Yan Yunqing: “I guess, it’s just that I suddenly realized that they were really in love, and I’m a little emotional.”
He always felt that there were no real fools in the world who would die for love, but today he really saw it.
Although these two were indeed undead, it didn’t count as dying for love…
A little complicated emotion flashed in Lillian’s eyes. She slowly landed on Yan Yunqing’s shoulder, “Then… if someone died for love for you, would you be very moved?”
Yan Yunqing: ???
Yan Yunqing looked surprised and didn’t dare to move: “Uh, die for love for me?”
Yan Yunqing touched his nose, thought about the possibility, and he felt uncomfortable all over, “Don’t… I might just think that’s a lunatic, it’s better to stay away.”
Lillian: …???
Yan Yunqing continued to add fuel to the fire: “And don’t you think it’s stupid for one person to give up their life for another? If they’re not out of their mind, they’re out of their mind. If they can give up their own lives, they can do even more crazy things!”
Lillian: …
Yan Yunqing wanted to exert more force: “So, Lillian, if you meet someone who wants you to die for love in the future, don’t hesitate, turn on the acceleration flash and run away, that’s definitely a scumbag! Of course, don’t have such a stupid idea of dying for love yourself. No one is worth you doing this!”
Lillian coldly: “…Okay, stop talking.”
Yan Yunqing: Huh?
Lillian had a cold face and her voice was flat and unwavering, “I have deeply realized that dying for love is a very stupid behavior.”
Yan Yunqing stretched his brows, “That’s great, it seems you think so too.”
