Chapter 715: Chapter 717: A Thousand Years of Deep Affection (Part 1)
White hair brushed against her cheek with the softness of silk.
Mu Ruyue looked up at the handsome face before her, feeling as if her heart had been struck, causing a pain to arise…
A thousand years, how endlessly long is that? Jingjing at least spent it in a coma, but this man, he was confined in a place, waiting alone for her for a thousand years…
Neither Xiao Yue nor Zi Shao suffered as much as this man did.
After all, although their wait was long, they were not alone. Only he, this man, had nothing but flowers and trees for company throughout these thousand years…
“Bai Ze…”
Mu Ruyue’s voice trembled slightly as she looked up at the man’s sorrowful eyes, and in that moment, she offered a gentle smile.
“Bai Ze, I’m back…”
Yes, she was back.
From then on, he would no longer be alone…
Bai Ze smiled, and with that smile, the earth itself trembled, and such elegance was unmatched…
“There is nothing better than seeing you again, so even though I have waited for you for a thousand years, I have no regrets.”
Waiting for you for a thousand years, indeed, with no regrets…
Suddenly, Mu Ruyue felt an overwhelming guilt towards this man—maybe for all the sacrifices he made for her in this life and past lives, she could never repay him.
The crowd was somewhat stunned by this sudden scene, unable to grasp what was happening…
The man turned to face the Eight-clawed Fire Chi, his gaze indifferent yet imposing…
In a flutter of light garb, his hair white as snow drifted in the sky, dazzling like snowflakes. They had never seen anyone with such natural white hair, nor one that was so breathtaking, as if the whole world revolved around this man.
A strong aura enveloped him, stirring up fierce winds as he stood midair, his gaze lowered toward the Eight-clawed Fire Chi below, eyes filled with a dominant presence.
If when facing Mu Ruyue he seemed like an Immortal, the man now could be seen as a fusion of a Heavenly God and a Demon God, forever exalted, standing in the sky looking down at the people below with a faintly arched pale brow, his voice deep and cold.
“A mere Eight-clawed Fire Worm dares to make noise on my territory! And even… wishes to harm her!”
He lightly raised his eyebrows, his gaze cool and detached.
As his words fell, snowflakes began drifting around him, growing more numerous, eventually forming into a raging blizzard that burst through the sky towards the Eight-clawed Fire Chi.
The fierce blizzard contained several sharp Cold Swords, piercing through the body of the Eight-clawed Fire Chi without warning, blood spurting out and staining the snow red…
“Ao!”
The Eight-clawed Fire Chi let out a heart-rending roar, and then, under everyone’s gaze, it thudded to the ground.
The wind howled, the white garments whipping wildly in the air, the man’s gaze cool and detached, looking down from on high at the people below as though they were mere ants.
“Who else wishes to harm my master, Bai Ze?”
He spoke of a master…
A thunderclap seemed to strike the hearts of the onlookers, stirring waves of shock. They could hardly believe that this man, who killed so gracefully, was actually her Contracted Beast!
