Zhilan's reaction after hearing this was completely beyond Liang Meng's expectations.
Her fair and radiant face, gleaming warmly in the sunlight, showed no trace of sorrow or distress. On the contrary, she smiled with a very sweet and contented smile.
She tilted her head and smiled at Liang Meng, her eyebrows curved, very cute. There was a bright and shocking firm strength in her eyes.
"From the moment I fell in love with Brother Zhen, I knew what we would face in the future."
"Initially, thinking about the feud between our two tribes, I did make a choice between Brother Zhen and the future. But the mere thought of parting with Brother Zhen made me so heartbroken I couldn't breathe. Even the thought that I might not be with Brother Zhen in the future made me miserable."
Zhilan's beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her hooked hands moved unconsciously to her chest, as if she was suffering some kind of torment there.
His voice became more hurried, and he had to swallow hard after every few words, with a sense of extreme panic.
"So, I won't leave him. Ever."
There was an extraordinary determination in Zhilan's clear eyes.
Liang Meng looked at Zhilan and was stunned for a moment.
Her throat suddenly felt dry, as if it were clogged with cotton, making her feel uncomfortable. Her eyes were also filled with heat.
Liang Meng turned away, no longer looking at Zhilan. He stared at the azure sky, blinking non-stop, but the tears still surged.
I kept swallowing hard, but the blockage in my throat became more severe.
Finally, I couldn't hold back any more and tears flowed from the corners of my eyes.
The more Liang Meng understood the depth of their relationship, the more regretful she felt.
She knew from the beginning that this relationship would end in separation, but she still wanted to witness its process.
How cruel.
Liang Meng thought angrily in his heart again: This position of hall master is really not a job for a human being!
Zhilan turned her head and looked at Liang Meng, who had pulled her arms out from behind her head and covered her eyes with tears rolling down her cheeks.
She was stunned for a moment, then she laughed, and as she laughed her cherry lips curved up and she started to cry.
"Sister Meng, it's okay. Brother Zhen and I made a promise that we would never leave each other in this life. If we try our best but still can't get blessings, we will give up everything here and go to a place where no one knows us, and live a life just the two of us."
"We agreed that in this life, he only wants me, and I only want him."
Zhilan said as she moved closer to Liang Meng, resting her head on Liang Meng's arm. Liang Meng sniffed and stretched out his arms to hold Zhilan in his arms, but... did not say another word.
What else could she say? What could she tell Zhilan?
Tell her not to love Qi Zhen anymore, because Qi Zhen will eventually break his oath and marry another woman.
It would be better to tell her her final outcome so that she can open up her heart sooner rather than end up in a tragic situation that ends her life.
She couldn't, she couldn't say anything.
The only thing she could do was to watch quietly and wait for the heartbreaking ending to come.
......
A strange thing happened that day.
Hearing the sound of Liang Meng getting up, Wu Ma came in on time with a basin of water for washing.
Liang Meng has long been accustomed to Wu Ma's silence during this period of time.
I will never be so frightened that my whole body freezes when I turn around and see the hunchbacked Wu Ma standing motionless in front of the basin of water, staring at me.
Liang Meng was bending over to wash her face in the basin when suddenly the ground shook violently and tilted, then calmed down in an instant.
Liang Meng steadied himself, turned around, wiped the water droplets off his face, and asked Wu Ma with wide eyes.
"What happened just now?"
Wu Ma looked at Liang Meng with dead eyes and blinked slowly. A rare look of doubt appeared in her eyes.
"What did the girl say?"
"Just now... didn't you feel the ground shake?"
Liang Meng tucked her wet hair behind her ears. Her voice was filled with shock and confusion.
Although it was fleeting, it was impossible not to feel the movement that wanted to turn over and cover everything.
Wu Ma lowered her head and looked at the ground, the hump on her back fully exposed.
He stamped his feet back and forth on the ground, then raised his head and looked at Liang Meng again.
"This old servant didn't notice anything unusual."
"Now, it's gone now. I was talking about just now. Just now, when I was washing my face in the basin, the ground, the ground shook violently. Didn't you notice it?"
Liang Meng was overcome with emotion, gesticulating wildly. Wu Ma spoke with such conviction, but she simply didn't believe it was an illusion.
Wu Ma had no answer for Liang Meng's repetitive, nonsensical questions. She just kept shaking her head expressionlessly.
Liang Meng frowned and turned around, looking at the ripples in the basin that had not yet subsided, wondering what had happened just now.
Could it be an earthquake?
......
Yunmeng Hall. Yingmeng Pavilion.
The legendary figure who had been guarding the gate of Yingmeng Pavilion with the body of a lion was nowhere to be seen. Instead, a man in black wearing a conical hat stood there.
Beneath the wide bamboo hat was an extremely ugly face. Two grayish-white eyeballs were embedded in the deep black eye sockets. Beneath the black robe was a straight body as thin as a bamboo pole.
This person was the man in black who went to Shuiniang that night.
The man in black stood facing the door of Yingmeng Pavilion, his dark, ferocious face radiating a fierce aura. He raised his withered arms, and a cloud of black mist rose from his palms.
Following the black-clothed man's angry roar, the two balls of black mist rushed towards Yingmeng Pavilion like slippery black snakes.
To the man in black's surprise, the scene of the house being destroyed and everyone being killed did not occur.
The black fog and the barrier set up by Legend in front of the door collided violently.
The barrier was struck by the impact and instantly emitted a bright white light. In just a few seconds, it completely eliminated the vulnerable black fog. The man in black was also shocked and stumbled back a few steps.
The man in black used a trick to get Legend away, but he didn't expect that Legend was one step ahead and set up a barrier in front of the door.
snort!
The black-clothed man raised the corner of his slender purple mouth and sneered contemptuously. He had underestimated his enemy just now, so he would not be so lucky this time.
He slowly raised his arms again, his empty sleeves swinging back and forth. The man in black's purple lips moved up and down, muttering a string of incantations.
The clear, refreshing blue sky suddenly turned into a violent storm. The chaotic gray fog swirled the dust from the ground, and the sky and the earth were suddenly covered with gray.
As the gray mist in his palms gathered more and more, the man in black narrowed his eyes, shouted loudly, and slapped both palms towards the Yingmeng Pavilion.
Like the crisp sound of jade falling to the ground, the barrier was instantly shattered by the powerful gray fog. First, it cracked into a series of sharp cracks, and then with a clang, it completely disintegrated and shattered.
The door of Yingmeng Pavilion also opened in response.
The man in black smiled triumphantly and made an unpleasant snoring sound in his throat.
Then he raised his foot and walked towards the door. The gray mist in his hand did not stop, but continued to swirl and rise violently.
When he was one step away from Yingmeng Pavilion, the man in black twitched his ears and cried out inwardly, "Oh no!", and the next moment he quickly turned to the side.
