Incarnation Of Gods: Endless War - Chapter 257

Third-person POV

Guang Liang widened his eyes in shock when Meiyun’s figure suddenly disappeared by the touch of the teenage girl.

“What did you do to her?!” Guang Liang roared at the teenage girl.

The teenage girl nonchalantly turned her eyes to look at the furious Guang Liang and swept her hand in the air. A huge mirror-like projection materialized in front of them. Guang Liang looked at the image in the projection and there was a scene that he was very familiar with that was currently playing on the projection.

“This…this is when my mother was about to die. What did that have to do with me helping Master Sheng Jie?” Guang Liang questioned.

“This lady over here…” The teenage girl pointed at the white-clothed woman that was not far away from Meiyun. “…is Master Sheng Jie.”

Guang Liang instantly froze in his spot.

“By saving Meiyun, you saved Master Sheng Jie as well. And by here, I came to promote you into low-ranked divine beast.” The teenage girl cut to the chase.

“What is the price?” Guang Liang quickly asked.

After watching the world went on for a few hundred years, Guang Liang found it difficult to trust someone especially someone that over a free gold like the teenage girl in front of him. Furthermore, there was nothing free in this life.

The teenage girl’s smile grew wider, “There will be no price for your promotion, you don’t have to do anything. You did a good job and I, as one of the highest rank divine beast and Master Sheng Jie’s one and only divine beast, decided to take you in as my disciple. What? You don’t want to?”

“Of course I want to, but your offer is a bit too hard to believe.” Guang Liang narrowed his eyes.

“You are not wrong. To be promoted a few ranks in a second is a lifetime chance and the chances are very little but never zero.” The teenage girl grinned slyly.

Guang Liang quickly got her meaning, “Fine, I take your offer.” he snorted.

“If there is nothing, then let’s go. There are so many things we have to do.” The teenage girl turned around.

“Wait!” Guang Liang stopped her in her track before she could walk away.

The teenage girl looked over her shoulder and asked, “What?”

Guang Liang bit his lips as he didn’t know if it was right for him to ask her this question.

“Will I be able to meet my mother again?” Guang Laing asked with his eyes looking downwards.

The teenage girl stared at Guang Liang and was silent for a moment. Although she was one of the highest-ranking divine beasts, it didn’t mean that she knew everything about the death and life circulation in the world.

But then she remembered the dark spot that lingered on Meiyun’s heart when she saw her a few seconds ago.

“You will and it won’t be long.” The teenage girl said.

“What do you me-” Guang Liang asked once again.

“By the way, my name is Xiao Bai. Call me Senior Xiao Bai. No more question, follow me.” Xiao Bai quickly cut him off before he could finish his question.

She turned around and opened a portal to the Heavenly Palace where she and Sheng Jie stayed. She entered the portal and Guang Liang followed her closely from behind

A calming scent of incense gently wafted over her nose. Her brows twitched and her eyelids slowly opened after more than three months being tightly closed. The first sight that she saw after she opened her eyes was a familiar painting on the ceiling of the bed.

She stared at it for a few seconds to recall where she had seen that painting before, then she remembered the most life-changing encounter she ever had, it was the first time she met Di Shang in his room in Dong Fang. At that time, the first thing that she saw after she woke up from her unconsciousness was also this similar painting.

Although both painting it weren’t precisely identical but the meaning behind the painting was the same. A man and a woman, together on the horses, they ride through the mountains and deserts like unchained eagles. The other reason why Meiyun liked the painting very much was the painting truly displayed her dream of being unrestrained and traveling around the world with the person she loves the most.

If she never met him, then she wouldn’t be able to appreciate herself as much as she does now. Therefore, meeting Di Shang was one of the most memorable encounters she had in her entire life.

While she was reminiscing the beautiful past, she heard a soft stable breathing from beside her. From what she could deduct, it seems like the person was sleeping deeply. She heavily turned her head to the side to look at the person sleeping beside her.

The man sat on the ground so that he could lean his head on the side of the bed. The dark circles under his eyes were very visible that it almost made him hard to recognize. Stubbles grew untidily from his cheeks down to his lower jaw.

Even when he was sleeping, the brows were furrowed and his face was scrunched up into a scowl. One could clearly see that the man wasn’t having a good sleep for quite long. Meiyun reached out her hand to caress the short stubbles on his cheek.

A smile instantly bloomed on Meiyun’s ghastly pale lips. Her fingers didn’t stop tracing over his nose bridge nose and his jawline. She was too focused on staring at the strong jawline of her husband that she didn’t realize that the man’s eyes were wide open for quite a while.

“Meiyun?” He shakily called out her name.

He couldn’t believe what he was seeing right now, a touch of coldness on her fingertips that were touching his jaw was real. But he had been having a dream of her waking up that sometimes he hoped that he wouldn’t wake up from that blissful dream.

The sight of his beloved wife smiling at him with a smile full of life after a long time laying on the bed with a peaceful almost dead-like smile almost made him tear up.

“Hm?” Meiyun hummed as her hand continued to caress his cheek.

Even with only a hum from her, the tears that pooled in his eyes rolled down his cheeks to Meiyun’s hand.

“I-is this real? You woke up?” Di Shang muttered almost inaudible.

Meiyun chuckled at Di Shang’s disbelief expression, “En, I woke up. Or do you want me to be unconscious forever?”

Di Shang enveloped Meiyun’s hand with his big rough hand and shook his head, “Don’t joke about something like that. Do you know how painful it is for me to see you sleep like a dead person? I always checked your pulse just to ensure you are still alive.”

Di Shang tightened his grip around Meiyun’s hand. Meiyun chuckled and swept her thumb across his cheek.

“Fine~ Fine~ Aiyoo~ My lovely husband is suffering, oohh~ What am I supposed to do so that my husband won’t be sad? What should I do? Heyy~ Husband~ Tell me, what should I do for you to be happy?” Meiyun made a cute expression by puffing her cheeks out.

Di Shang didn’t reply to her tease, he leaned towards Meiyun’s cold touch and wouldn’t let go of her hand even though she tried to pull it away because her hand started to feel numb. In the end, Meiyun gave up and let him use her hand to his will.

“Hehehe~ So ugly.” Meiyun made fun of Di Shang’s current untidy appearance to ease up the heavy atmosphere.

“Just like this…stay like this and I will be happy.” Di Shang kissed her palm and smiled softly while staring at her with his glassy eyes.

“En, hehehe~ Ouch!” Meiyun giggled as her palm felt ticklish from rubbing against his stubbles but because she laughed, the wound in her heart ached and made her yelp.

Di Shang immediately stood up and anxiously looked at the wound whilst shouting for the servants to call for a physician. Di Shang kept sighing in worry as he stared at her pale face with an unexplainable expression on his face.

Seeing Di Shang got so panicked just by a little yelp from her, her heart melted at how Di Shang truly cared and worried for her. But seeing him worrying too much also made her feel guilty. She patted Di Shang’s hand to get his attention.

“It’s fine, only hurt a little bit. it is my fault for laughing, hehe~” Meiyun scratched her head and laughed sheepishly from her clumsiness.

“Don’t joke around. Your wound is serious, we need to do a check-up. You just need to rest.” Di Shang pulled a blanket over Meiyun’s chest and gave her a gentle peck on her forehead.

“E-en…”

Meiyun hid her red face under the blanket and pretended to be asleep so she wouldn’t have to respond to Di Shang unintentional lovey-dovey act.
