Chapter 1653 “Bai Xiao (7)”

Looking at the direction of the girl’s departing back, the teenager didn’t know what else to do aside from silently clenching the gift in his hands. Then a thought hit him, bringing purpose to his own life and why he should live.

I will definitely repay you for your kindness. Wait for me. Once I get strong enough, I will find you and swear my loyalty to you….

Unfortunately, that vow would never come of fruition for the girl herself had already perished from this world once he’s grown strong enough to safely move on his own. Meeting yet also a farewell, tragedy of fate itself.

………

Some time into the future, the snow remains a forever blanket in this northernmost reach of the Celestial Realm. There are no more ferocious looking to make him their dinner, no more kindhearted girl to give him a helping hand, only himself standing there and peering into the far-off horizon.

“I listened to you, I watered the lotus with my blood every morning and gained incredible strength compared to what I had. But now, you are gone and I still standing here. Why didn’t you wait for me? By the time I came out to search for your whereabout, all I got is your terrible fate.”

Gripping his fist like he wants to challenge the world itself, “I refuse to believe their lies, there’s no way you are an evil scourge to the Celestial Realm! Those hypocrites, all they ever know is to look out for their own interest and ignore those like me who needs help in the dark corners of this world! I will make them pay for this. A blood debt must be paid with blood. They took your life, and now I will take theirs as payment…”

That said, tears began to flow down the young man’s cheek: “Maybe I will be able to meet you again in the afterlife….”

……..

Outside the Celestial Palace some days later.

“Who goes there?!” An old man who’s clearly in charge of watching over the entrance gate yells at the coming young man.
