Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 539: End of fate, end of strangers

Suddenly, Bai Siyu came in from outside the cave with someone in her arms. A few people looked over there and found that the person was Jiang Zilin. She smiled happily and rushed forward.

Although he looked a little weak now, his injuries had all healed, even the arm that had been scratched earlier had been healed.

"Jiang Zilin, I'm glad you're okay."

Jiang Zilin wiped the tears from her cheeks, and embraced her with a doting smile, the joy of reunion overflowing.

Bai Siyu finally realized that he was not mistaken in his memory. He was really the King of Hell in the underworld. But how could a King of Hell fall in love with someone?

He and Yan looked at each other, sighed lightly, and left the cave together, leaving the space to them.

Before the two of them could start expressing their love for each other, the voice in Mu Huayan's mind sounded again, "Give up, you two will never get anywhere."

"Why do you have to keep insisting on it? If he dies because of you in the end, do you still want to go hand in hand with him now?"

At this point, she pushed Jiang Zilin away again as if she had been electrocuted, clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest, and everything around her began to turn gray.

Endless fear immediately infected her whole body. When a strong light flashed by, the surroundings had undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Where is this place? Who are you? Why do you keep pestering me?"

"And where did you hide Jiang Zilin?"

Everything around her turned white. She subconsciously raised her hands and looked around. When she looked around, she found that there seemed to be a person lying not far away.

"Hahaha, hiding?"

"Are you sure I hid him?"

"Instead of being killed by you!"

When Mu Huayan finished the last sentence, she saw the person lying in the pool of blood. It was Jiang Zilin, who was covered in blood.

She knew it was an illusion, but everything seemed real to her. She wanted to scream like crazy, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't make any sound.

She calmed herself down and smiled, "I don't believe I will kill him."

Suddenly the illusion was broken. She thought the voice had gone away, but it suddenly rang in her ears again.

"The relationship is over, and we are strangers."

This sentence was completely different from what she had just said. Mu Huayan suddenly found it funny. What should they do with others?

"How can you make a conclusion with just one sentence from you?"

Mu Huayan found herself back in the cave. Before she could come to her senses, a large arm had already embraced her tightly.

Jiang Zilin felt a sense of anxiety and fear, as if everything now was just a long dream.

"Mu Huayan, I miss you so much..."

Mu Huayan could feel his strong longing and love, "I miss you too."

But everything happened too suddenly. She noticed that Jiang Zilin's arms around her were gradually weakening. Finally, she saw him staggering backwards with a dazed look in his eyes.

Mu Huayan was stunned the whole time, until he ran out of strength and fell backwards. Her nose felt sore and tears burst out of her eyes unconsciously, "Jiang Zilin!"

The others rushed in after hearing the sound. Mu Huayan knelt on the ground and hugged Jiang Zilin and cried bitterly. She realized that his memory was fading bit by bit.

No matter what method she used, she couldn't stop this from happening. Tens of thousands of memories emerged from his mind and were slowly turning into energy and dissipating.

"No, why, why be so cruel to him."

At this moment, she felt helpless and could only cry loudly, watching the memory fragments transform into energy to fill the ghost realm's formation.

Yan and Bai Siyu seemed to know what was going on and couldn't bear to look any further, so they turned their backs. Mu Huayan was helpless and remembered that they were also ancient people.

There must be a way to help Jiang Zilin survive this disaster, so he begged,

"Senior Yan, Senior Bai, Yan'er begs you to help him."

Yan and Bai Siyu naturally could not interfere, as they would be struck by divine thunder. However, this was not a righteous act, and it was not fair to Jiang Zilin at all.

"Hey, that's all."

"Those formations will definitely absorb his emotions first, which are the fragments of memories between the two of you."

"The King of Hell cannot be emotional, you guys..."

Yan couldn't bear to continue, so Bai Siyu continued:

"The only way to help him now is to conclude a fairy couple contract."

"But doing so will trigger the rejection of the evil spirit in his body;"

"In the process of forming a fairy couple, his memory fragments will not stop;"

"There is one more thing you must remember. Concluding a fairy companion contract only interrupts the formation to absorb his memory fragments, and will not complete the contract."

Mu Huayan understood that the immortal couple contract was just a coercive measure.

But Jiang Zilin hadn't woken up yet, so how could he make a contract? Yan and Bai Siyu set up a barrier to isolate him from the outside world. Then they carved a few marks in the air.

"We will interrupt the absorption of the formation, and Jiang Zilin will wake up in the middle."

"You only have one stick of incense to use the contract to help him get rid of the calamity."

"Don't be distracted no matter what happens during the contract."

Mu Huayan was ready. They put the mark into Jiang Zilin's body to disrupt the energy of the formation.

Seeing that many of the memory fragments belonging to the two were about to be absorbed, Jiang Zilin finally woke up in a daze.

But the word "strange" was written in his eyes when he opened them, and there was only a little love left for her, "Mu Huayan, why are you crying again."

"This is an inevitable fate, there is no escape."

He raised his hands to wipe away the tears on her cheeks and found that there were still obvious traces of tears on her cheeks. Mu Huayan didn't know which stage he was at.

She grabbed his hand and choked up, "Jiang Zilin, I, I..."

"Silly, even if we can't be together in the end, it doesn't matter. You have given me the love and warmth I want;"

"These are enough for me. Even if I have to be alone in the cold ghostland in the future, as long as you remember to visit me and remember me as your good friend, I will be satisfied."

Mu Huayan couldn't stop crying, her heart ached as if being cut by a knife, and no matter how many words she said, they couldn't compare to being by his side.

"But I don't want to. I'm not satisfied. I, I still have a lot to say to you."

"There are still many questions that have not been answered by you."

"Jiang Zilin, I won't let you leave me."

Mu Huayan choked up several times and could no longer cry. The love that they had finally come to love was about to burst like a bubble.

Jiang Zilin held her in his arms, his clothes soaked with tears. He had always wanted to be with her forever. "I'm sorry."

Mu Huayan pushed him away, at least to let him keep his other memories, and lied, "Jiang Zilin, let's make a bet, okay?"

"Let's sign a fairy couple contract now. If, if you have lost all your memories..."

"You, you can use this mark to find me, and then we can, we can start again... okay?"

She had been trying not to let the tears rush out of her eyes, but her eyes were already red, her heart was completely broken at this moment, and she took the initiative to hold his right hand.

She knew that after this moment, they would be strangers. The brief warmth made her feel uncomfortable and reluctant.

"Jiang Zilin, I'm sorry..."

"No matter what happens after today, promise me that you will live well."

Mu Huayan leaned close to his lips and kissed him. As both sides released their spiritual powers, a mark was engraved on the palms of their intertwined hands.

He noticed that the memory fragments belonging to the two of them in his mind were being absorbed by the formation.

At the last moment, the formation that absorbed the memory was successfully interrupted by the contract. A faint light flashed, and the contract in the palm of the hand dissipated.

A tear rolled down from the corner of Jiang Zilin's eye, and then the two of them fainted one after another.

The divine thunder formed above couldn't find its direction, but it still didn't give up and wanted to strike Yan and Bai Siyu. Fortunately, the poison in this swamp was very strong.

This prevented them from being hurt by the divine thunder, but it was not a delaying tactic after all.
