"You...you are actually Yan An!" He widened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him with disbelief.
At first, when I saw that familiar figure and unique temperament, although I had some doubts in my heart, I still held on to a glimmer of hope, telling myself that maybe it was just a similar body shape.
However, when he heard her speak, the familiar voice and the identical tone instantly shattered his last fantasy.
Despite this, he kept making excuses for himself, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.
After all, the world is so vast, it's not surprising that people are similar.
Perhaps it was just a coincidence that this woman had some similarities with Yan An.
However, when she showed the phoenix-patterned sword, all her self-consolation seemed pale and powerless.
The phoenix-patterned sword had accompanied Yan An through countless storms and was her most treasured possession.
Now that it appears before his eyes again, it undoubtedly proves that the person in front of him is the real Yan An.
"Yes, it's me." Yan An replied calmly.
"If you didn't have the intention to kill him, why would I show up?" Yan An stared at the other person sharply, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"We will pay you these 500,000 high-grade spirit stones as promised."
"Since you've already let him go down into the pond to get the Thunder Stone, then let him bring it back up on his own."
At this moment, Lei Ling couldn't help but turn his head and look at that beautiful face.
His heart felt like it was being pierced by thousands of tiny needles at the same time, the pain was unbearable.
My eyes had become moist and red without me noticing, tears welled up in them, as if they would fall at any moment.
"You...you really married him?" Lei Ling asked with trembling lips, his voice full of pain and unwillingness.
Yan An opened her red lips slightly, uttered a soft "hmm", and then nodded slightly.
"Lei Ling, you really don't have to wait for me any longer."
"It's better to completely let me go from your heart, and go find a woman who is truly suitable for you, and spend the long years to come hand in hand with you."
Hearing these words, Lei Ling was instantly struck by lightning and became very excited.
His eyes widened, and he pointed his finger at Lu Jingzhi, who was standing not far behind Yan An, and shouted, "Is all this because of him?"
"Did he threaten you?"
"Or maybe he has something on you?"
"That's why you say such heartless words!"
Facing Lei Ling's questioning, Yan An remained calm and replied calmly, "That's not the case. He and I are truly in love, and there has never been any talk of threats."
Then, she took a deep breath and continued, "Besides, even if I had never met him, I would never choose to be with you for the rest of my life."
When Lei Ling heard Yan An's cold and emotionless voice, he felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand, and the pain was so severe that he could hardly breathe.
Tears flowed uncontrollably down my cheeks.
He slowly lowered his raised arm tremblingly, his body shaking involuntarily a few times, like a rooster that had just experienced a fierce battle but was ultimately defeated.
He turned and left with his head hung dejectedly and listlessly.
Looking at Lei Ling's back as he walked further and further away until he disappeared, Yan An put the Phoenix-patterned sword in his hand back into the scabbard.
Then she turned her head and looked at Lu Jingzhi with eyes as gentle as water.
As time passed by quietly like a flash, Yan An stared at the strange scene in front of him.
Because the thunder lotus he controlled was actually undergoing a transformation, just like the snow lotus.
At first, the thunder lotus took the shape of a standard lotus, condensed from pure thunder elements.
However, as the thunder element absorbed the lightning, it began to slowly wriggle and deform.
Gradually, the lotus transformed into a small baby the size of a palm.
This tiny figure is like a seed in embryo, greedily absorbing the powerful nutrients contained in the surrounding thunder and lightning, and gradually taking shape under this constant nourishment.
Witnessing this scene, Yan An couldn't help but feel amazed.
[I didn't expect this elemental lotus to be so magical! ]
[When the energy is abundant, it can actually produce such amazing changes and become even more powerful.]
Then, a trace of regret crept into her heart, [Alas, this guy really got away with it.]
[If I had known this method was so powerful, I should have started practicing it myself.]
Recalling the scene when he first obtained this book of mental skills, Yan An felt mixed emotions.
At that time, she went through untold hardships in a mysterious secret place, and by chance she found this precious secret method.
However, at that time, he already had a set of powerful sword techniques in his hands.
After weighing the pros and cons, I finally decided to give up practicing this mental method.
