The End Times as a Song

Chapter 17 Swarm of Bees

half an hour...

When Lin Moshi returned to Guixu Palace, Shi Yan Shi Yu helped him undress, removing his heavy clothes and changing him into a simple and elegant white gauze robe.

"If there's nothing else, you can leave now..."

A hint of sorrow crossed Lin Moshi's noble face as he instructed Shiyan Shiyu to leave.

"Master...are you unhappy...?"

Shi Yan has always been straightforward and outspoken, speaking his mind without thinking.

“Shiyan…”

Upon hearing this, Shi Yu sensed something was wrong and immediately stepped forward to tug at Shi Yan's sleeve, stopping her from talking nonsense.

"I'm fine...you may all leave..."

"But you don't seem... happy... Shiyu, why are you covering me and not letting me speak..."

"Yes... Master... We'll take our leave now..."

Shiyu quickly stepped forward, performed a polite gesture, covered Shiyan's mouth, and dragged Shiyan away.

"Let go, Shiyu, I can't breathe..."

Shi Yan stammered.

"Shiyan, how many times have I told you to watch your words? Do you have a death wish...?"

Upon reaching the outside of Guixu Palace, Shiyu reluctantly released Shiyan and offered him kind words of advice.

"But you didn't need to cover someone's mouth and drag them out like that... I almost suffocated..."

Shi Yan took a deep breath, pointed at Shi Yan, and expressed her dissatisfaction with her behavior.

"If it weren't for our master's mercy, you wouldn't have enough lives to squander..."

Shiyu grasped the small hand that Shiyan was pointing at, forcefully pressed it back, and walked away gracefully.

"It's always like this, what exactly did they say wrong..."

Shi Yan glanced at Shi Yu, who had walked away, and complained.

"Wait for me... Shiyu..."

Inside the hall of Guixu Palace.

Lin Moshi, dressed in a light white gauze robe that flowed in the wind, exuded a carefree and elegant air. He turned and stepped out from behind the screen, arriving before the ebony bed inlaid with white jade. Lin Moshi lowered his head in deep thought, carefully reviewing the recent events.

With his right hand supporting his head, his eyes slightly closed, and his face pale, he lay on his side on the bed, seemingly a little uncomfortable. He summoned Little Coal Ball.

The magnificent, resplendent palace was eerily quiet and desolate...

"coal briquettes"

"Yes, the coal briquettes are..."

Suddenly, a black ball of fur sprang from Lin Moshi's left sleeve and landed, instantly transforming into a handsome, sunny-looking young man in black who knelt before Lin Moshi. Inside Qingxu Palace, everything was cold, quiet, and lifeless.

"Master, what are your orders?"

"What's going on at Qingxu Palace?"

“This…except…the master’s sister that night.”

"My mother, is she alright?!"

"The master's foster mother is fine."

"That night...you..." Lin Moshi hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

"That night, were you sure you sensed the divine source of Chaos and Annihilation?" Lin Moshi suddenly opened his eyes and asked very seriously.

"Yes, Master, Coal Ball did sense it. Didn't you sense it?" Coal Ball replied, puzzled.

"No." Lin Moshi suddenly sat up, supporting himself on his thighs with his hands. His long, black, shiny hair instantly cascaded down his broad back, making his face appear even paler.

"That's strange. Could it be on the banshee?" Coal Ball scratched his protruding head, looking thoughtful.

"No...impossible. If it were on the banshee, the divine source should have been released when the banshee was killed. I should have been able to sense it." Lin Moshi gently patted his head, trying to clear his head as he explained, his voice weak.

"Then Coal Ball was puzzled. That night, after the vine witch was killed, the divine source's perception suddenly disappeared."

"There was only that female demon, that demon boy, and... that human girl whom I also look down on."

"Could it be that the gods were beaten to it by that demon youth?" Coal Ball asked, stroking his chin with a puzzled expression.

"It's all Princess Zheyu's fault. If Princess Zheyu hadn't clashed with Master's foster mother, and Master hadn't been worried that his foster mother would suffer... we wouldn't have had to rush back... and the clues would have gone cold..."

"Mmm...ah...ah..."

Lin Moshi suddenly became a little scary. He held his head in his hands, shouted to the sky, his head was throbbing, his face was ferocious, and he knelt down, shaking his head from time to time, trying to keep himself awake. He was in a state of near madness, an uncontrollable madness.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Coal Ball approached Rin Moshi with some fear, hoping to see if it could be of any help.

"I'm fine..."

Lin Moshi, panting heavily, swallowed hard and tried to control himself, forcing a calm remark before saying something he had barely managed to suppress.

"what……"

"Owner……"

"Go, go... away,"

Lin Moshi held his head and said fiercely.

"Don't come near me... I... I can't control myself..." she suddenly shouted. "Run..."

"Oh no, Master can't hold on much longer! What should I do? Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best!"

Seeing this, Coal Ball panicked and said, "Master, wait for me... I'll go get reinforcements..." Its little eyes darted around, and it turned to run away.
