1874 A Blessing (1/2)

Gu Xijiu intended to rescue her by rewinding her death, but her attempt had been kindly rejected. With her remaining breaths, Li Mengxia said, ”Xijiu, let it happen.”

Death seemed like the liberation of her pain. Gu Xijiu was surprised. ”Why?”

Li Mengxia stared into the sky blankly. ”I miss him. He never came for me. I shall look for him, then.”

Li Mengxia had always been very optimistic about everything. She rushed around only to get her work done. Also, she had always been single. Gu Xijiu never knew why. At first, she thought Li Mengxia was against the idea of marriage; little did she know that she had always loved the same man.

”Who is he?” Gu Xijiu was curious.

”Overlord Long,” Li Mengxia told her frankly. She finally talked about the name for the last time, the name that had been troubling her for years.

Gu Xijiu was utterly surprised.

Li Mengxia had never talked about her feelings publicly.

Long Siye was doing very well in the Upper Bound. He was now a general, commonly acknowledged as Siye, the Senior Immortal. He even had his own residence in the seventh layer of heaven.

After her death, Li Mengxia would be sent to Hell instead. She would be reincarnated. Even in her death, she would not be able to see Long Siye again. She held Li Mengxia's hand tightly and told her about Long Siye's condition, hoping that it would give her a sense of hope to live on.

Li Mengxia was momentarily lost for words. Soon, she responded with a smile and said, ”Actually, it is good this way. I only have to know that he is fine. I will be entering my next cycle of life soon. I will start anew, without remembering him. I will be free from the misery of loving him and hopefully, I will be happily in love with another man.”

Her eyes were full of hope. ”I am looking forward to the next life.”
