Chapter 428 Jin Litong's Side Story: Nothing Else Requested

The sky was dark and gloomy. Jin Litong sat on the edge of the cliff, looked up and stared at the clouds on the horizon for a moment, then lowered his eyes. A gentle breeze blew, making his golden hair a little messy.

Since that day, the entire fairyland has been plunged into darkness. He hasn't seen the sunlight for a long time. Logically speaking, continuing to live in an environment without sunlight should change one's mentality.

But he didn't; he's very calm now.

Even his previous violent temper was gone; now, his heart was calm, like a stagnant pool, unmoved by anything or anyone.

After the Heavenly Seal dissipated, humanity became acutely aware of its mistakes. In recent years, they have been working hard to live and correct their errors. The fairies in the fairyland who had begun to show signs of disappearing have also stopped disappearing. It is believed that they will soon be able to return to normal.

Everything is getting better, except for her.

Wenxi.

Tie Xi: "What are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Litong turned his head and saw Tie Xi standing behind him.

Jin Litong: "Enjoying the scenery."

Tetsuhi: "Really? You seem to be in quite a good mood."

Jin Litong sighed sadly. Ever since Wen Qian died, Tie Xi's emotions had become very unstable. He had never smiled again, as if the Tie Xi who used to love to laugh and act cute had gone with Wen Qian.

Jin Litong: "Want to drink?"

Tie Xi: "Drink."

After saying that, Tie Xi sat down next to Jin Litong. Jin Litong waved his hand, and two bottles of wine appeared in his hand. He handed one bottle to Tie Xi, opened the cap, and took a big gulp. The strong liquor rushed into his throat, causing him to cough loudly.

Jin Litong: "Are you still looking for her?"

Teshi: "I don't believe she's dead."

Jin Litong: "But she vanished in front of all of us."

Teshi: "No, she's not dead."

Tie Xi: "I just... can't find her yet."

Tie Xi was adamant; he was certain that Wen Qian was not dead. Even if he saw it with his own eyes, he still didn't believe that Wen Qian was really dead.

There is definitely still hope; Wenxi can come back!

He sipped his wine, his eyes welling up, and drank it down, coughing incessantly despite the choking sensation. Seeing this, Jin Litong sighed.

As the effects of the alcohol slowly crept in, and her head began to feel dizzy, Jin Litong looked up at the sky, feeling a mix of bitterness and unease in her heart.

If only it were really as Tie Xi said, that Wen Qian wasn't dead. But they all saw with their own eyes that Wen Qian was stabbed through the heart and her figure vanished. How could she possibly not be dead...?

Everyone in the fairy realm said that his war god Jin Litong became taciturn and drank heavily all day because his lover Luo Li died. Unfortunately, they were all wrong.

There is no doubt that he once loved Luo Li.

But that was before he met Wenxi. Fate really played a cruel joke on him. Otherwise, how could things have turned out this way?

Jin Litong's feelings for Wen Qian are very complex.

Even after all this time, he still hasn't seen his own heart clearly.

He often asked himself whether he had any feelings for Wenxi.

But he couldn't answer himself, because he was confused.

He was so lost that even after Wenxi died, he still couldn't figure out the answer.

Maybe? But not many, after all, Wenxi hates him so much, and he's not a masochist who would insist on getting closer to make Wenxi unhappy and then get scolded by her.

Jin Litong: "If only she hadn't died..."

Muttering something under his breath, Jin Litong collapsed to the side, unable to hold his liquor. He had a dream in which a girl in a purple dress plunged a sword into his heart, blood gushing out, the pain unbearable. The girl, her eyes red, cried out another person's name, her voice filled with resentment.

Jin Litong's first meeting with Wen Qian was far from pleasant, at least that's how he remembered it. Wen Qian burst into tears the moment she saw him, calling out Tie Xi's name and even stabbing him with the Golden Bone Sword.

He never understood why Wenxi disliked him so much, until later, when he heard Wenxi say that Tiexi and he were the same person, and that she had gone through a lot of trouble to separate them. In that instant, his heart ached, and he understood why Wenxi valued him so much.

If he and Tiexi were two different people, Wenxi definitely wouldn't care whether he lived or died, right? His heart ached a little, and he couldn't control himself. But he was unwilling to accept it. Wenxi's concern for him was genuine, and he didn't believe that Wenxi had no feelings for him at all.

There must still be a place for Jin Litong in Wen Qian's heart, right?

He thought this, but he was extremely uneasy. He didn't dare to ask Wenxi directly, afraid that her answer wouldn't be what he wanted. So he simply deceived himself, constantly telling himself that Wenxi had feelings for him.

He is there…

When Jin Litong woke up, Tie Xi was already gone. She sat up, her head spinning, and realized that she was already in tears. This dream was terrible. Jin Litong cried and trembled as she picked up the wine bottle that had fallen to the side and gulped down the rest of the wine.

The pungent taste of alcohol spread in his mouth, and Jin Litong coughed violently. Tears streamed down his face like broken beads. He clutched his aching chest with his right hand, hunched over in a disheveled state, and curled up into a ball, looking rather pitiful.

Jin Litong: "Wen Qian..."

Jin Litong: "You really are a bastard..."

He's a bastard who would do anything for Tetsuki.

Jin Litong's consciousness suddenly became somewhat hazy. A figure seemed to appear before his eyes. The person was wearing a purple dress, with wine-red hair hanging down his shoulders, and a delicate golden bracelet on his wrist, which he had conjured with his immortal power.

Jin Litong's breath caught in her throat as she looked up, her lips trembling.

Jin Litong: "Wen Qian, Wen Qian..."

Jin Litong: "Really, really, is it you..."

Jin Litong: "I...I miss you so much, so much!"

Jin Litong: "Please don't leave, please stay!"

Jin Litong: "I...I don't want to be alone anymore..."

Jin Litong: "I, Wen Qian..."

As she spoke, Jin Litong slowly reached out her hand, trying to grab the figure, but it passed right through her. Her mind suddenly cleared, and the figure vanished. Jin Litong stared at it for a while, then burst into laughter and tears.

It turned out to be just an illusion.

He knew it! How could Wen Qian be here with him? If Wen Qian really came back, she would definitely go to Tie Xi first. How could she possibly come to him? How could she possibly come to him…

—Perhaps they all deserve to stand by your side, but I don't. Because in your eyes and heart, there has never been a place for me, Jin Litong. But Wenqian, I also want to stand by your side and accompany you, even if you don't see me. As long as you are willing to let me stay, I will ask for nothing more.
