Dragon-Marked War God

Chapter 2947: Zhu Mei

Above the gates of the Profound Connection Divine Palace, on top of a green mountain, a graceful and elegant figure was currently standing there.

The girl was light as a feather, with long silky hair, untouched by mortal desires. Her eyes were like the autumn rain, absent and temperamental, like clouds blocking one’s view. Water droplets from the fog surrounded and cruised through her body.

With the abundance of the world, it still couldn’t compare against a single desire of her heart. Hundred years have passed, yet there were no words from him.

The girl just stood there with her white robes, surrounded by the misty fog.

A grand dragon flew up and silently cruised through the lake without causing a ripple and landed behind her.

Beside the grand dragon, an azure-robed youngster was standing there with a pained expression.

“You’ve been standing here for seven years.” The man said quietly with a somber expression.

He was worried about her weak body, that she couldn’t withstand the cold qi of the water. His eyes were showing dissatisfaction, yet he wasn’t angry, it was boundless concern.

The girl’s expression was unmoving, she gave a faint smile with her pale expression, completely unfazed.

*cough… Cough…*

“If in the future… I fell into this cold deep pond, I wonder, will he know?”

The girl slightly coughed and gave a bitter smile, her heart was struck by a wave of emotion.

The man frowned, he did not answer, he had boundless concern for her but could not express it.

“Is the spiritual energy of the Three-Tailed Spiritual Fox not enough to sustain your life?” The man’s eyes were lonely as he murmured.

His heart was pained, as he clenched his fist.

“If a relationship could be as pure as the first encounter, then human relationships wouldn’t shatter like the fans in autumn (people stop using fans after autumn). What is love? Love could even drive a person to follow even in death. I shall accompany you even if he’s not here. Ten years, 100 years without changing, 1000 years without regrets, 10,000 years and it would still be the same. I believe that, one day, you shall stand beside me and look down from the peak.” The man said wholeheartedly.

The girl shook her head slightly and said:

“Senior Brother Long, I know of your feelings, but my heart has long been with him. I shall wait for him, one year, ten years, hundred years… though I do not know whether I still have another 100 years to live.” The girl said with a bitter smile.

She knew that there’s not much time left for her. She might not last until he came back, she was not afraid to die but was afraid of not being able to see him once more.

“What does he have to receive that endless love of yours?”

Senior Brother Long smiled bitterly and shook his head as helplessness filled his heart.

“I curse the heavens for robbing 10,000 years from me! The result would be different if we’d met earlier…”

“I know Senior Brother Long is deeply in love with me, I know that. But please abstain from doing so, my heart could no longer fit another person in. I cannot repay Senior Brother Long’s gratitude with my life, please do not mention it anymore.” Zhu Mei shook her head and said.

“Alright! I will never mention it again. However, rest assured, I will not allow you to die. Definitely! Now that he’s not beside you, I will protect you, I will protect you for eternity.” Senior Brother Long said quietly.

He was Yu Chenglong, one of the three dragons of the outer palace. The top-50 expert on the Heaven Ascension List, yet he could do nothing to cure her.

“Senior Brother Long, you must not delay your cultivation. I am just a dying girl, I am not worthy of Senior Brother Long’s effort.” Zhu Mei said quietly.

“Whether you’re worthy or not, I have my own consideration. I shall seek Elder Dan Chen, I refuse to believe that not even he can do anything about it. ”

“Senior Brother Long… sigh.” Zhu Mei sighed a pale expression, she felt guilty.

She had caused Yu Chenglong to delay entering the inner palace. She couldn’t bear seeing him running around for her sake. Plus, there’s not much time left for her, yet, he still wouldn’t give up. He would enter the most dangerous of places even if it only provides a glimmer of hope. He left the Profound Connection Divine Palace and obtained the three-tailed spirit fox for her, yet it still couldn’t cure her and it had gotten even worse over time. It seemed she was bound to leave this world soon.

“This world… doesn’t belong to me…” Zhu Mei murmured.

Perhaps… I may have long been unable to hold on if it wasn’t for him mentally supporting me.

Yu Chenglong quickly flew towards the Profound Connection Divine Palace’s Elder Hall.

Before the cave of Elder Dan Chen, he bowed with sincerity.

“Outer Palace Disciple, Yu Chenglong requests an audience with Elder Dan.”

Elder Dan Chen was one of the three great alchemists of the Profound Connection Divine Palace. He was proficient in alchemy and the kindest amongst the elders and instructors. Yu Chenglong had repeatedly helped Elder Dan Chen search for medicinal ingredients, he was pretty close with him.

“Come in.” An indifferent voice reverberated through the air.

Yu Chenglong showed an expression of joy and quickly entered Elder Dan Chen’s cave.

“Elder Dan, Yu Chenglong pleads that you help save Zhu Mei. Yu Chenglong is willing to listen to every order of Elder Dan for the rest of his life,” Yu Chenglong said with a solemn expression while keeping his head down.

“Chenglong oh Chenglong… what should I say…?” Elder Dan Chen said as he sat on top of the stone platform with a somewhat cold voice.

Yu Chenglong felt extremely pressured. Elder Dan Chen was a genuine Hierarch expert and was one of the few strongest elders amongst the elders.

“Elder Dan, you have to help me, you’re my teacher and elder in the Profound Connection Divine Palace.” Yu Chenglong pleaded, as he only had Zhu Mei in his heart!
