Chapter 148: I Live for You
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
After An Bu climbed out of the pit carrying the soldier on her back, everything seemed to spiral out of control.
Jian Ningxuan only remembered standing twenty meters away, waiting for Bu Bu to come back, but the surrounding chilly winds suddenly became more violent, and even he felt a chill. The next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. As he turned around, he was hit hard in the back again by a soldier wielding a shovel.
Human figures flashed before his eyes, and everyone was caught in a chaotic melee.
These soldiers were all well-trained, even in a state of mental confusion, they instinctively used combat techniques, fighting for their lives.
Jian Ningxuan, caught off guard, was ambushed from behind and almost fatally injured, but fortunately, those soldiers shifted their focus after he fell. Blood rolled down his forehead, and in his crimson vision, An Bu’s figure gradually blurred. Before losing consciousness, his only thought was to hope that Bu Bu was safe…
“He’s awake!” a voice of surprise echoed in Jian Ningxuan’s ears.
Jian Ningxuan slowly opened his eyes, looking at his father, who was filled with surprise, feeling somewhat dazed. In his memory, his father had never cared about him, always harboring resentment towards him for his mother’s sake. But the man with gray temples in front of him now showed a cold yet excited expression towards him.
“Shu Yun, quickly call the doctor over.” Jian Ningze carefully checked Jian Ningxuan’s condition while instructing his wife.
Uncle Jian Cheng stepped forward anxiously, asking with concern, “Ningxuan, how do you feel?”
Jian Ningxuan felt warmth in his chest, as if his body was filled with strength, feeling no pain at all. As far as his sight could reach, everyone’s body emitted a miraculous light. Almost instinctively, he felt it was the breath of life.
The doctor followed Shu Yun into the ward, examined Jian Ningxuan, asked some questions, but he didn’t respond, just turned his head to look towards the door.
[Mr. Jian, don’t die!]
The familiar voice echoed in his ears, followed by a flood of information in his mind.
[Endless vitality, inexhaustible source. At the beginning of all living beings, all things have spirits. Where the heart desires, where love lies. The past and present, all in hand, known as — the Book of Life.]

…
[Vitality value: 7350915∞]
Eighty-two years, saving 104573 lives.
Jian Ningxuan’s eyes gradually reddened, filled with a sour and tender feeling.
Each piece of information recorded An Bu’s life trajectory. With a love for life, she persisted tirelessly.
And now, she had given everything she had to him.
“What about her?” Jian Ningxuan asked hoarsely.
Jian Ningze replied, “She just left, but she should be back soon.”
“Bring her back.” Jian Ningxuan grabbed Jian Ningze’s wrist tightly. “Quickly!”
“Okay, I’ll go right now, don’t get too excited,” Jian Ningze patted his back and then got up to arrange for the bodyguards to find someone.
“An Bu, really, she knew you’re seriously injured and still running around everywhere, not even asking a single question.” Shu Yun was very displeased with An Bu’s behavior just now.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Jian Ningxuan coldly looking at her.
Shu Yun immediately fell silent.
Jian Ningxuan closed his eyes, trying hard to integrate the Book of Life, wanting to recover from his injuries as soon as possible.
The majestic vitality gradually repaired his body, bringing him powerful vitality.
Bu Bu, wait for me!
An Bu walked out of the hospital, avoiding the sunlight, moving through the darkness.
Fang Cun had originally followed her, but halfway through, his consciousness suddenly became chaotic. When he came to his senses, she was nowhere to be seen.
Nowadays, no living person could approach An Bu. The dense death aura was enough to evoke fear in anyone’s heart.
She was like a ghost, chasing after the breath of death. Accident scenes, hidden places, murder scenes, cemeteries… places she once avoided had all become her inevitable paths.
She could accurately predict the time and manner of everyone’s death, then at critical times and places, watch as others walked towards death.
Day after day, wind and rain, tirelessly.
The blood in her body gradually coagulated, forming patches of livor mortis on her skin. Her clothes were torn, her hair disheveled. The once clean and neat her now looked like a beggar on death’s door.
In her eyes, the world was nothing but death.
“Bu Bu!”
An Bu paused, slowly raising her indifferent gaze.
At the end of the alley ahead, a robbery was happening. Two minutes later, the victim would be accidentally killed by the robber.
The panicked footsteps quickly disappeared on the other side of the alley. An Bu walked out of the shadows and looked at the woman lying in a pool of blood.
“Help… help…” The woman struggled to reach out to her, her eyes full of longing for life.
An Bu stood still, watching as the hope in the woman’s eyes gradually faded, eventually turning into unwillingness and despair, swallowing her last breath.
A gloomy death aura rose from her body, becoming data in the Book of Death.
“Bu Bu!”
An Bu stiffly turned her head, looking at the deep alley, as if waiting for something.
After a moment, she withdrew her gaze, taking faltering steps and slowly disappearing into the darkness…
An Bu disappeared.
Jian Ningze’s people searched inside and outside the hospital for a long time, but found nothing, and no one answered her phone. They initially thought she had gone out temporarily for something, but after two days, she vanished into thin air like she had evaporated from the earth.
“Ah Xuan…” Jian Ningze walked into the ward, intending to greet Jian Ningxuan, but the bed was empty…
Jian Ningxuan had disappeared too.
Only leaving behind the words “Don’t look for me,” he disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Three days, five days, ten days, a month… still no news.
At dawn by the seaside, with dim light and cool breeze, An Bu walked barefoot on the beach. Her shoes were long gone, her pants tattered, covered in dirt, her figure thin, her skin dry and pale, covered in livor mortis.
She stopped, quietly looking at the man sitting on a reef. This person would jump into the sea to commit suicide in ten minutes.
“Bu Bu!” a voice came from behind.
An Bu didn’t react, continuing to gaze forward. She had heard this voice countless times, but whenever she turned around, she always ended up empty-handed. So she no longer paid attention, letting it echo repeatedly in her mind.
“Bu Bu!” the voice sounded again, and the next moment, she was tightly embraced by a pair of strong arms.
“I finally found you.” Warm breath brushed past her neck, like water gently rippling in her heart.
An Bu slowly raised her eyes, staring blankly at the sea.
A faint light appeared on the horizon, like a drowsy eye, casually opening, revealing enchanting brilliance.
The faint light slowly emerged in the sky, spreading across the entire sky like someone suddenly painting colors on a black and white canvas. The once dull sea gradually became as clear as a gem, shimmering with silver waves. In An Bu’s silent eyes, it reflected a magnificent array of colors.
In an instant, the world became vibrant.
“Bu Bu, let’s go home.”
Home?
Where is home?
“Anywhere I am is your home.”
Jian Ningxuan walked in front of her, holding her hands, looking at her current appearance, almost crying with distress.
Bu Bu loved cleanliness, health, and life. Even in the most embarrassing situations, she would still show her most beautiful smile.
But she gave up everything she cherished.
Bu Bu, you died for me.
I, live for you.
