Chapter 1422: Chapter 1444: Holding Hands Through Life

Jiang Fan stood in a daze at the spot.

He wondered, why did the silent Ziwei Fairy, who was always kind to him, suddenly become unreasonable and then resort to moral coercion.

It turned out, she saw Jiang Fan’s Purple Sword being taken away, and couldn’t bear to see him lose it.

So she forcibly wanted to bring Jiang Fan back to force a marriage.

Actually, she wanted to give the Purple Sword, and Green Frost to him.

Jiang Fan clenched the Heavenly Thunder Stone, feeling a whirlwind of emotions inside.

He turned back to glance at Star Mountain, standing silently.

The Little Qilin leaned its round head over, curiously watching Jiang Fan’s eyes.

His eyes were no longer calm.

Like an autumn lake, a breeze stirred endless ripples.

It was an emotion the Little Qilin had never seen on Jiang Fan before.

Couldn’t quite discern what it was.

Seemed like hesitation, seemed like guilt, also seemed like longing.

It waved its small paws in front of Jiang Fan’s eyes, saying: "Master, what’s wrong?"

Jiang Fan withdrew his gaze, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Saying goodbye to an old acquaintance once missed."

He took one last look at Star Mountain, murmuring:

"May you be treated with kindness for the rest of your life."

With those words, he silently turned around, disappearing into the long night.

Meanwhile.

Inside the cave.

Ziwei Fairy was already dressed up.

Her long black hair smoothly cascaded down her back, and the exquisite, elegant red dress enhanced her tall and captivating figure with a dash of brilliance.

The delicate and splendid phoenix crown shimmered with a hazy glow.

She sat before the copper mirror, gazing at her reflection, murmuring softly:

"I once said, not to meet again in this life."

"Didn’t expect that we meet again, Jiang Fan."

She held the golden mask on her face, slowly removing it.

A stunningly beautiful young face made the copper mirror shine a bit brighter.

Her brows were gentle, her expression soft, her features exquisitely picturesque.

Yet, lacked a bit of the vivacity a young girl should have.

Had gained a bit of maturity.

She was none other than Xu Yining.

Gazing at her reflection in splendid attire, she couldn’t help but smile faintly:

"Fate truly loves to mock people."

"The marriage contract personally destroyed long ago, returns in another form after so long."

"Thank you."

"Thank heaven for letting me fulfill the dream of being Jiang Fan’s bride, for allowing me to put a full stop to the regret of youth."

"But..."

She gently removed the phoenix crown from her head and placed it softly on the dressing mirror, murmuring:

"Our story actually, has ended long ago."

Two teardrops fell silently onto the phoenix crown.

Followed by shimmering and bright red gems, sliding quietly.

"Jiang Fan."

She gently caressed the phoenix crown that appeared in her dreams countless times, tears spilling like a kite with a broken string, unstoppable:

"Forgive me for my youthful recklessness."

"If there’s a next life, I won’t let go, I’ll hold your hand and grow old with you."

"But this life, ends here."

"For the rest of your days, please... take care."

An ancient towering tree.

Star Mountain Master leaned against the tree, silver hair fluttering, long dress lightly floating.

She looked up at the moon bright enough to pick with a gesture, sighing slightly:

"Two fools."

She lightly tapped her fingers, the Telepathy Ring left by Jiang Fan in the secret room transformed into a ray of purple light, flying far away.

On the horizon.

Jiang Fan felt something, turned around and reached out, precisely catching the purple light.

Upon closer inspection, he was astonished:

"Is this a gift from the Star Mountain Master?"

He finally understood; Star Mountain Master had observed everything between him and Xu Yining.

If she didn’t want Jiang Fan to leave, he wouldn’t be able to.

It seems she saw Xu Yining release Jiang Fan, so she didn’t pair them together again.

Jiang Fan sighed deeply, a sense of guilt flooded his heart.

If he stayed and got married, Xu Yining would be very happy, wouldn’t she?

But he, a dying man, why let Xu Yining fall into despair again?

This might be their last meeting.

After a long silence, he bowed towards the direction of Star Mountain Master, then turned to leave.

As for where he was heading, he was somewhat confused.

Returning Ruins State is so vast, searching for Yue Mingzhu is no less than finding a needle in a haystack.

Remembering Yue Mingzhu was transported to Heavenly Heritage City more than half a month ago, Jiang Fan hesitated.

Perhaps he’d have to visit Heavenly Heritage City again?

Just pondering, suddenly a palm-sized little white rabbit darted out under his feet.

Munching on a bit of grass in its mouth.

Jiang Fan looked at it, slightly surprised: "This rabbit, looks a bit familiar."

Just as he spoke.

In his startled gaze, the little white rabbit visibly expanded, soon transforming to the size of a cow.

Isn’t this Forgetful Wild Elder’s mount?

If it’s here, isn’t Forgetful Wild Elder nearby too?

"Haha, kid, I knew, still, you’re more destined with me."

A drunken voice came from above his head.

Looking up, he saw a sack descending from the sky.

My goodness!

Jiang Fan was speechless.

Why didn’t anyone tell him that the Great Venerates of Returning Ruins State liked to forcibly kidnap men?

Before he could resist, he was stuffed into the sack.

His expression changed, seriously stated: "Senior, I came to Returning Ruins State to find a dear friend."

"Please don’t make things difficult."

Forgetful Wild Elder flashed to his side, stroking his beard: "You find your dear friend, and I’ll find a perfect husband for my disciple."

"No conflict, no conflict."

Having said that, he picked up the sack and was about to leave.

Jiang Fan was anxious, decisively drew the Purple Thunder, sternly said: "Senior, if you don’t let go, don’t blame me for damaging your Magical Treasure."

Forgetful Wild Elder swung the sack over his shoulder, drunkenly said:

"This is a Top-grade Spiritual Artifact, if you have the ability, go ahead and damage it."

Jiang Fan gritted his teeth.

He tightened his grip on the Purple Thunder, slashing fiercely at the sack before him.

To be honest, he wasn’t confident he could cut through it.

Though the Purple Sword had the sharpness to cut through everything, it had its limits.

Against Top-grade Spiritual Artifacts, especially those meant to trap people, with exceptional toughness, it was hard for the Purple Sword to slice through.

However, once the sword swung out.

An unexpected scene unfolded for Jiang Fan.

The Purple Sword suddenly emitted a burst of purple electric light, clinging to the sword body.

When the electric light sliced through the sack, it was like it was cutting through tofu, directly slicing open a huge gap in the sack.

Unrelenting, the electric light, after cutting the sack, continued to sever the little white rabbit’s raised tail.

The tail, too, sliced off a small piece like tofu.

In pain, the big white rabbit suddenly dashed off frantically.

Noticing the anomaly, the startled Forgetful Wild Elder quickly dropped the sack.

Seeing Jiang Fan emerging from the crack, holding Purple Thunder, his eyes widened in disbelief, showing a ghostly expression:

"Has that woman gone mad? How could she supplement the Artifact Spirit of Purple Thunder for you?"

Jiang Fan also gazed dumbly at the Purple Sword in his hand, looking unfamiliar.

Is this still his Purple Sword?

Why did it give him a sense of transformation?

Upon hearing the words Artifact Spirit, he promptly looked at the sword body of Purple Sword, discovering for the first time, a purple lightning seal on it.

It was evidently the Artifact Spirit of Purple Thunder!

Xu Yining not only returned the Purple Thunder to him.

But also infused it with an Artifact Spirit?

He finally understood why during random transmission in Returning Ruins State, he was transported to Xu Yining.

That’s because.

Xu Yining possessed the Artifact Spirit that belonged to Purple Thunder!
