Chapter 2331: Chapter 2332: Returning with the Completed Elixir (First Update)
Within the glaring light, the body of the big-headed creature began to rapidly contract.
In the blink of an eye, it shrank from a gigantic monster to the size of a normal person.
Gradually, the light dispersed, revealing the figure underneath.
Everyone couldn’t help but widen their eyes.
Because what appeared before them was a handsome young man.
He slowly opened his eyes, looking around with a confused expression.
Cha Wenliang was extremely excited, "Do you... do you still recognize me?"
Upon hearing this voice, the young man’s body trembled, and he immediately knelt down.
"Master!"
Cha Wenliang, disregarding everything else, rushed forward in one swift step to the young man, grabbed his shoulders, and urgently asked.
"Do you remember who I am?"
"Of course I remember, because it was you, Master, who created me and gave me a soul. How could I forget?" The young man spoke clearly.
Moreover, his speech was very clear with logical coherence, completely different from the previous indistinct mutterings with simple tones.
Cha Wenliang couldn’t help but laugh heartily, "Good! Good! Good!"
He repeated ’good’ three times, and his laughter was filled with extreme delight.
Xue An did not interrupt, but watched with a smile instead.
After all, anyone encountering such an event would be as ecstatic as Cha Wenliang.
Once he finally stopped laughing, Xue An then calmly said, "Now that I’ve fulfilled my promise to you, how about your promise?"
"That’s alright. Now I have some confidence. If you’re willing, we can set off now!" Cha Wenliang replied with a smile.
"Alright, then let’s go now!"
"So urgent?" Cha Wenliang was surprised.
"Of course, because with every day’s delay, the situation changes!" Xue An said with a heavy tone.
"Alright, let’s set off now!" Without hesitation, Cha Wenliang agreed promptly.
The group immediately set off, leaving Godfall Valley heading toward the Yue Clan.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the Yue Clan was extremely oppressive and gloomy.
The festive mood from winning the martial arts tournament had long disappeared, and everyone’s heart felt as heavy as if weighed down by a stone.
Occasionally, someone looked toward the rear courtyard with a worried expression, then shook their head and sighed.
Yue Hechang was no exception, as he came to the rear courtyard gate, gazing at the mysterious scenery behind, and spoke after a long while, "How long has it been since Second Young Lady came out?"
Following him closely, Yue Junze, with a mournful expression, replied, "Ten days!"
"Still no message from within?"
"None."
Yue Hechang frowned and walked to the gate, gently touching it.
Instantly, ripples appeared in the space, forming a huge light curtain encompassing the entire courtyard.
"Ever since Second Young Lady entered the courtyard, she’s shrouded it in a barrier, allowing no entry unless granted by her." Yue Junze said.
Yue Hechang sighed, "Such tight defense, what’s truly going on inside? Could it be that the Family Head..."
Yue Hechang’s words were unfinished, but the implication was clear.
Yue Junze remained silent.
"Prepare for the worst. If the Family Head desires another reincarnation, the Yue Clan will be without protection for at least three years, and the Long and Sima Families will be watching intently, we must be vigilant of them!"
"Understood!"
Yue Junze bowed his head in response, with tears faintly visible in his eyes.
As they conversed, in the rear courtyard’s flower hall.
Second Young Lady sat quietly on the chair, surrounded by blooming flowers, warm winds blowing, with everything unchanged as if time had frozen.
Yet this couldn’t disturb her at all, her entire attention focused solely on Yue Shifang a short distance away.
At this moment, Yue Shifang was sleeping.
But his sleep seemed exhausting just by looking at it.
He lay at an odd angle on the chair, chest heaving, though no breathing sounds could be heard, only occasionally making a noise like a leaky bellows.
Second Young Lady knew these were signs that his lungs were nearing collapse.
So each time the sound occurred, pain flickered in her eyes.
This state didn’t last long, as even this difficult sleep was a luxury for Yue Shifang.
After merely a quarter of an hour, Yue Shifang slowly opened his eyes, beginning to breathe heavily.
The labored breaths felt as if an invisible hand was choking him, making it uncomfortable to hear.
Suddenly.
Perhaps due to the labored breathing, Yue Shifang couldn’t help but cough.
The cough was so violent it seemed he would stop breathing the next moment.
Second Young Lady hurriedly patted his back.
But she didn’t dare exert force, for Yue Shifang’s extremely thin back was lined with protruding bones, as if using any force might snap them.
Therefore, she could only pat gently.
After a while, the coughing subsided, and Yue Shifang lay back on the chair, drenched in sweat, utterly exhausted by the coughing, unable to lift even a finger, with no trace left of his former commanding presence.
Second Young Lady’s eyes glimmered with tears and were filled with pain. Finally, she couldn’t hold back and spoke.
"If it’s so unbearable, why not reincarnate early?"
Yue Shifang smiled, "Don’t be sad; I’m used to it!"
"But..."
Yue Shifang interrupted her, "Is Xue An and Qing Huan back?"
"Not yet!" Second Young Lady replied.
"In fact, even if they bring back the Ghost Needle Divine Doctor, Cha Wenliang, it won’t help, for my injuries are rooted in my soul, not something ordinary medicine can fix!"
"Then why are you waiting for them?"
"I have to... see them one last time before reincarnating," Yue Shifang softly said.
The flower hall fell silent again.
Yue Shifang’s eyes had been blind for a long time, and his hearing was beginning to fail, yet he could clearly sense Second Young Lady’s sorrow.
"Alright, don’t cry anymore. You may think I’m suffering, but for me, it’s just trifling. Don’t forget, I’ve undergone dozens of reincarnations!" Yue Shifang laughed.
Unhelpfully, these words made his shoulder feel damp.
It plunged him into silence.
After a long while, he sighed softly, then reached out to gently touch Second Young Lady’s tear-stained cheek.
"Enough, no more tears!"
