Chapter 396 Farewell

Tao Xueshan suddenly appeared and freed Tao Xueqing.

He swung the heavy sword in his hand freely, and was not afraid even when surrounded by five living wax figures.

Her brother was a man who always moved forward.

Tao Xueqing slowly stood up, covering the wound on her arm, and still a little bit unbelieving what was happening in front of her.

Brother Xueshan... unexpectedly survived.

She began to think about the rationality of this matter. Because Tao Xueqing herself had the experience of being trapped in the copy and surviving by chance, she guessed that her elder brother was the same.

The White Tower copy is ever-changing, and anything is possible.

Perhaps because Tao Xueshan is familiar with this copy, understands the way monsters fight, and knows their weaknesses.

He quickly dealt with the five wax figures, and was slightly injured, and returned to Tao Xueqing.

"Xueqing, you are not injured?"

He looked at Tao Xueqing nervously, and the latter looked at him blankly.

"Your arm is injured, do you have any medicine?"

"Yes..."

Tao Xueqing took out the medicine from the cloud space, and Tao Xueshan treated her wound.

His movements were skillful and meticulous, and Tao Xueqing stared at her brother's hair.

Such a scene seemed to appear only in dreams, and she couldn't even bear to blink.

Tao Xueshan wrapped the gauze and tied a bow. He looked up and looked at his dazed sister, and suddenly smiled.

"What's wrong, looking at me like this."

"Brother Xueshan..." Tao Xueqing murmured, "Is it really you?"

"It's me," Tao Xueshan replied gently to his sister, "I thought I would never see you in this life, and I could only be trapped in the dungeon forever. Unexpectedly... God still favors me."

Tao Xueshan told her what happened after they parted.

"At that time, I really thought I was going to die. No matter how I pretended to be relaxed and said that I didn't care about death, when I really faced it, the instinct for survival and the fear of death would still burst out.

Facing the unbeatable boss, I fell into despair. Just when I thought everything was going to end here, a crack suddenly appeared on the floor of the dungeon scene, and I accidentally fell down."

Tao Xueshan recalled the scene at that time, and still had some lingering fears.

"It should be a bug or something. Anyway, after I fell in, I don't know how long it took, and I woke up in this wax museum.

The wax museum has a small restaurant for tourists to rest, and food is refreshed there every day. I survived by relying on this.

The wax figures here are very difficult to deal with, but as the number of encounters increases, I have also mastered some ways to deal with them."

Tao Xueshan seemed very confident and assured Tao Xueqing. This wave of living wax figures will be eliminated and will not be refreshed until an hour later.

Tao Xueqing looked into her brother's eyes, where she was familiar with the gentle color.

Tao Xueshan looked at the weapon in her sister's hand, and her expression became complicated.

"I didn't expect that you still picked up the weapon."

Tao Xueqing's eyes also fell.

"Brother Xueshan, this is my own choice."

At the beginning, Xiao Jun pointed out two paths for Xue Ji and Xue Qing. Go to school peacefully, and he will prepare sufficient funds for them to ensure that they will have no worries about food and clothing in the future.

Or become a player of the White Tower, enter the dangerous dungeon, and live the same life as him.

The two siblings chose the latter without hesitation.

This is not just a matter of dungeon rewards, they also have to continue their eldest brother's career and explore the truth of the White Tower.

So they accepted extremely harsh training, fell again and again, and got up again and again, until they tempered themselves into sharp weapons and split all obstacles in the way of Mingque.

When Tao Xueqing was still young, she made a seemingly reckless choice. But to this day, she has not regretted this decision.

She walked out of pain and confusion, experienced thousands of tortures, and digested the reality that Tao Xueshan was gone.

But she never expected that the eldest brother who had walked into her dreams so many times would appear in front of her in person.

"I really miss you, very much."

Tao Xueqing told Tao Xueshan about her inner thoughts, and the latter was moved.

"Xueqing, from now on, you, me, and Xueji, we will never be separated again."

...

Tao Xueshan said that it is not advisable to stay here for a long time. The monster refresh point is usually at the place where the previous wave died, so it is best to leave as soon as possible.

Tao Xueqing was not familiar with the roads here, so she had to be held by her elder brother's hand and grope in the fog.

Xueshan's palm was warm, just like when he was a child.

Perhaps because he survived in the dungeon, his face had not changed much, even though nearly ten years had passed.

The white light of the bracelet lighting swayed in the fog. The brother and sister did not walk fast. They had a lot to say to each other.

Most of the time, Tao Xueshan was talking and Tao Xueqing was listening. Occasionally, when her elder brother asked, she would respond with one or two words.

"Xueqing... has become quiet."

Tao Xueshan still remembered that although Tao Xueqing was shy when she was a child, she always had endless things to say to her relatives and was a chatterbox.

At that time, the three brothers and sisters were close to each other, and even if their parents' marriage changed, it never affected their relationship.

Tao Xueqing's lips moved slightly, not knowing how to answer her brother's words.

She said "um" softly, as if she was agreeing, but seemed absent-minded.

The temperature around was getting lower and lower. Tao Xueqing could feel goose bumps on her skin. Every step she took felt like ice was growing on the soles of her feet.

"Brother Xueshan," she asked quietly, as if she was afraid of disturbing him, "where are we going?"

Tao Xueshan walked in front of her, and she could only see his back, just like when she was a child, her brother took her to school.

The sun was warm then, why is it cold now?

Tao Xueqing's eyes were filled with sourness.

Tao Xueshan did not look back, but her voice was still as gentle as water.

"I will take you away from here and find Xueji. We agreed that the three of us will always be together."

Tao Xueqing took a deep breath and stood still.

Snap.

She broke free from Tao Xueshan's hand, stood there, her eyes red, staring at Tao Xueshan closely.

"Brother Xueshan, I'm sorry, I can't go with you anymore."

"Xueqing," Tao Xueshan also stopped and turned around. It was obviously a similar smile as before, but at this moment it was chilling, "I said, the three of us will always be together."

Tao Xueqing's bright almond eyes were soaked with tears and shining. She blinked, and a string of tears fell from her left eye.

"I'm sorry."

She was just apologizing.

"Xue——"

"Xueqing!"

Tao Xueshan took a step forward and pretended to hold Tao Xueqing's hand again, but someone suddenly interrupted and stopped him.

It was Tao Xueji.

Tao Xueji was sweating a lot, and his breathing was uneven, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle.

He held the Juque in his hand and knocked the heavy sword on the ground.

"Xueqing, don't believe it," he only looked at Tao Xueqing and spoke, "It's fake, it's disguised as the eldest brother!"

Tao Xueshan's face was distorted for a moment after being exposed, but he reached out his hand, pushed his face, put the dislocated facial features back to their original position, opened his arms, and wanted to hug Tao Xueqing.

"I am Brother Xueshan, Xueqing."

Tao Xueqing closed her eyes, and tears fell from her right eye. When the other party's arm came around, she did not refuse.

But the next second, there was a sound of a sharp weapon piercing into the flesh.

At that moment, Tao Xueqing took away the Juque in Tao Xueji's hand and stabbed it into Tao Xueshan's heart. She and Xueji grew up training together, and they often exchanged weapons, so she was very good at using Juque.

Just now, Tao Xueshan had demonstrated to her that Juque was useful for wax figures.

When the heavy sword sank into Tao Xueshan's body, he began to deform and melt.

"Xueji, Xueqing...

Xueqing, why are you..."

Tao Xueqing opened her eyes, her eyes were sad.

"I'm sorry, brother Xueshan," her voice changed from trembling to steady, "If we feel happy, it must be an illusion. Only when we feel pain, we know that it is reality..."

Goodbye Tao Xueshan, this kind of thing will only happen in dreams.

Tao Xueji's eyes were hot when he heard his sister's words. He looked up and held his tears in his eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Jun, who was watching the live broadcast on the screen, was also silent.

He looked at the pool of melted wax, which had no fixed shape and looked a little embarrassed.

His index finger gently tapped on it across the screen.

"Xueshan, goodbye forever."

We have to say "goodbye forever" countless times to continue to live in the cruel reality without you.
