428 What Does Laugh 1 Mean? (1/2)

”Of course it’s real…” Ye Xiao smiled. ”Right. Today is 8th July. Seven days later, it is 15th… I will make a Soul Restraint Dan bead by then, so that you can meet each other for the first time and open to each other your true hearts.”

First it was disappointment, and then it was despair, at last, it became a hopeful surprise. It filled up Zhao Pingtian’s heart. He quietly stood there while looking at Ye Xiao. He couldn’t believe this was real. He felt like he was going to explode the next moment.

He sat there with surprise in his eyes. Tears came out. The tough man, the killer king, acted like a child all of a sudden and started to sob.

After a while, he actually lied down on the table and cried out loud.

For how many years, his longing, his love, his regret, his waiting…

Finally, he had hope now!

He was like a traveller who was heavily loaded. He had been carrying heavy burden in his heart and could never put it down. No matter how tired and hurt he was, he never put it down. He just carried it and went on and on.

He had nothing to live for but still lived without love just because of the tiny hope that was brought by the moment when the Yin Fruit was absorbed by the body.

He had been struggling in desperation.

He cried so loud, like his organs were going to break down. While he was crying, he murmured, ”I was thinking that after I avenge my sect, I will follow Rou-Er to death because I have nothing to live for. The way to the netherworld is a long distance. How can I let her walk alone. However, time to time, when I dreamt about Rou-Er, she always told me that she was always with me…”

”Fifteen years ago, I met a fortuneteller. He said that we are living in different worlds. We shouldn’t have the chance to see each other again, but if we have faith, we may be able to… I know he was lying to me, but I have been living for this tiny hope, struggling in life… I… I… When I wanted to end my life, I thought about the fortuneteller’s words… I hoped that he wasn’t lying to me… Wooo… Today, I finally meet the chance… It turns out faith does give me hope!”

- Splat… -

His tears flowed down like a river hitting on the ground, making a pool of water.

A man should never cry, except when he is really sad!

Nobody would believe that the killer king would cry like this, like a kid that was wronged…

Ye Xiao truly understood Zhao Pingtian’s feeling.

Zhao Pingtian saw his beloved one’s dead body with his own eyes. He saw the grave with his own eyes. However, somebody told him that he would have a chance to meet her again! That was an unbelievable thing, wasn’t it?

Zhao Pingtian did believe it.

He even kept the faith on it, on this nearly impossible dream, and lived till this moment with desperation.
