765 To Die! To Return to Heaven! (1/2)
”As long as I am alive, you will definitely not die! Even if I am dead, you will not die! Forget you? Leave this sentence for your next life! No, you shall not say such things even in your next life! You are not allowed to say it for eternity!”
There was a loud clap of thunder. The Condor King flew over from afar and landed beside them in an instant, his body shaking. Looking at Mei Xue Yan's pitiful form, he couldn't help but fall to his knees, crying out, ”Sis…. You really…. Why were you so silly….”
”Condor King, go back first.” Jun Mo Xie didn't turn his head. ”Tell the rest that your sis will be fine. I will get her treated.”
Condor King perked up and looked at him in surprise. ”For real? Sis used….”
But he only saw Jun Mo Xie nod his head firmly.
This time, he already made up his resolution! Even if the Hongjun Pagoda was destroyed, he must save Mei Xue Yan!
I! Cannot! Live! Without! Her!
Condor King looked at the both of them, reluctant to part, but he finally spread his wings and flew off. He knew that no matter the outcome, this time and space right now was for his brother-in-law and sister only. It was not apt for him to stay behind! He was also not willing to interrupt these two lovers, so he decided to fly away. Even though his heart was hurting, even though he really wished to stay behind and take care of his boss….
”Mo Xie…..” Mei Xue Yan smiled gently. ”My husband! Thank you; I also wish to spend the rest of eternity holding your hand….”
Jun Mo Xie trembled. This was the first time Mei Xue Yan had addressed him as ”husband”! And she was the first woman in this world to address him as such!
”Xue Yan… My beloved wife….We will definitely grow old together, with our children!” Tears began to stream down Jun Mo Xie's eyes. He pressed his face against her face gently, feeling as if his heart was about to explode. He couldn't breath and felt like he was suffocating…..
”In a while… Just leave me here… and go off on your own.” Mei Xue Yan begged, her body still convulsing. She could feel the last bit of her life leaving her, but she still indulgently inhaled the manly scent on Jun Mo Xie's body. With a weak voice, she said, ”I don't wish for you to see… my other appearance…. I beg of you….”
”No matter how you look like later, you will still be my wife!” Jun Mo Xie said tyrannically, leaving no room for discussion.
A glimpse of satisfaction flashed in Mei Xue Yan's eyes. ”I…. am content… I really am content…. Mo Xie… Put me down, please, I beg you…. I don't want you to see me like that…. Don't make me hate you! Please!”
Jun Mo Xie hugged her firmly. ”No way! No way! No way! You can give up on trying to get me to let go of you! This life, next life, forever!”
Mei Xue Yan blushed. She sighed meekly and mustered the last of her energy to nudge Jun Mo Xie's chest with her head. Suddenly, tears started to fall uncontrollably from her as her entire body shivered. Choking with sobs, she said, ”Mo Xie…. I hope you will remember Mei Xue Yan, not me… Don't let them see me… Please…. I beg you…”
Then, the last shred of violent strength left her body, bringing her last bit of life energy along with it.
In this instant, Mei Xue Yan felt enlightened and finally understood the meaning behind one statement. She laughed bitterly and said, ”Tian Fa won't find what it seeks. The Beast Kings will die. Tian Fa's millions will depend of the success of failure of one person….. So this is what it means….”
Then she turned silent. She looked lovingly into Jun Mo Xie's eyes, her look turning to that of shame and guilt. Finally, she stopped moving….
Her body suddenly began to shrink in Jun Mo Xie's arms, transforming into a small beast covered in snowy white fur, unconscious and on the verge of dying. Rings of invisible energy disappeared from her body. For every ring that faded away, her cultivation level dropped by a level….
The terrifying backlash from the Saint King Pills had finally reached its most crucial stage!
The tribulation clouds were gone, but the skies remained dark. Strong winds howled as the sky darkened.
Was it going to rain?!
Jun Mo Xie sighed tenderly, looking at the trembling form of Mei Xue Yan in his arms lovingly. ”So… It was you… I should've known…”
In this moment, a lot of things clicked in place for Jun Mo Xie. Why Mei Xue Yan kept picking on him, making things difficult for him since they were in Tian Fa Forest, constantly making fun of him. Jun Mo Xie had always been confused as to how he offended her, but now everything made sense!
So… Mei Xue Yan…. was that little beast he had met in Tian Fa Forest… That snow ferret that he had behaved indecently to…
So that's why!
No wonder Mei Xue Yan said ”I hope you will remember Mei Xue Yan, not me..”
So that's how it is…
Jun Mo Xie finally understood why Mei Xue Yan had that look of shame and guilt even when her life was on the verge of ending… Because she was afraid, afraid that he would look down upon her real form… because she… would always be a Xuan Beast…. never a human….
”You silly girl,” Jun Mo Xie gently kissed her mouth and said. ”I knew you were not human from the start… Why are you so bothered by this… Don't worry, before you recover I will not let anyone see you. You are you. You will forever be my beautiful beloved in my heart…”
Jun Mo Xie waited silently. Waiting for that moment when the energy from the backlash thoroughly vanished from Mei Xue Yan's body. Only when it was all over, when Mei Xue Yan fell to the lowest tier, could the Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi be of use!
Before that happened, he absolutely could not try to save her.
If he was slightly reckless, then it would lead to Mei Xue Yan completely disappearing from this world….
He frowned deeply, the desire to commit murder showing on his face. ”Nine Nether First Young Master! It is not that I am not giving you face… but now that things have become like this, if I do not wipe the existence of three Holy Lands from this world, how can I be worthy of my beloved wife? How can I even call myself a man?!”
He had whispered this sentence. No one else other than himself heard it. Only Heaven and Earth could hear it.
This sentence, that had gone unheard, had no curses, but Jun Mo Xie knew that it was the most vicious vow he had ever made in his two lifetimes!
”So what if you are the Nine Nether First Young Master? So what if they are your disciples? So what about the safety of this continent? So what about all the lives in this world?!” Jun Mo Xie slowly raised his head and screamed. ”So what if I have to bear the cost of all the sins in this world?!”
This was a scream from his soul! But it also marked the return of the God of Death!
The three Holy Lands…. I, Jun Mo Xie, will not rest until you! are! all! dead!
Finally, the last ring of energy dissipated…
