Chapter 828 The Toad (1/2)
Darren could only sigh as he watched the depressed monkey leave.
The whole world fell silent as the monkey walked forward in the void. Even the setting sun stained the horizon in hues of red, making it appear as if someone's heart was dripping blood.
”Hmmm.”
The monkey shook his heavy head. He felt as if he were sinking to the bottom of the cold sea.
”Bloodline...” the monkey whispered. ”She is noble.”
The monkey kept moving forward, muddle-headed. Everything was so distorted that he did not know where he was. A few moments later, he felt so tired that he landed on an island.
The whole island was covered with purple bamboo plants.
When the wind blew, the bamboo grove rattled, but the noise left the monkey feeling even colder as if he were the only creature in the world.
Unable to continue, the monkey resigned to the exhaustion coursing through him. He fell on the dry bamboo leaves and sobbed.
”What's wrong with you?”
A voice seemed to echo in his mind.
When he looked up, he saw another monkey's smiling face. He shook his head as he thought he was out of his mind and hallucinating.
”It's rare for you to cry like this. Tell me. Who makes you sad? I'll kill him with a dozen martial arts skills no matter who he is.”
When the monkey heard the teasing words, he jumped up as if he had received an electric shock.
His body trembled when he saw the black monkey. He wasn't hallucinating after all!
On the island
Caroline glanced at the sky with sorrow-filled eyes. Her heart felt somewhat empty.
”You seem to have feelings for him,”
Darren remarked dryly to Caroline after he flew to her.
When Caroline shook herself free from the daze in which she found herself, she noticed that Darren was beside her.
”Don't talk nonsense. His status and bloodline are poorer than mine. How could I fall in love with him?” Caroline tried to sound practical.
”You have lived a long life, and yet, you don't see things clearly. Why don't you follow your heart? At least, in my eyes, bloodline means nothing. It is up to you to decide who is noble and who is not!”
