"Madam...Madam?" Lu Jingzhi rubbed his sleepy eyes and called out this name in a daze.
Yan An snorted coquettishly, quickly pulled her white feet away from Lu Jingzhi, then lowered her head, stared at him with her beautiful eyes with a bewildered look, and said with a smile.
"Are you confused from all your sleep? You can't even recognize me?"
Lu Jingzhi shook his head, as if trying to clear his mind, and murmured, "Where...where is this place?"
Yan An rolled his eyes in annoyance, put his hands on his hips and said, "Of course it's Panping Town. Hurry up and wash up. We have to hold the wedding ceremony later."
Hearing this, Lu Jingzhi's eyes widened instantly, his face full of astonishment, and he stammered: "Welcome...weds? Are we going to get married?"
Yan An raised the corner of her mouth slightly, raised her eyebrows and asked: "What else? Is there someone else who wants to marry with you?"
After that, she urged impatiently: "Hurry up!"
Lu Jingzhi finally woke up from a dream, sat up from the bed in a daze, and put on his clothes in a hurry.
At this moment, Lu Jingzhi suddenly seemed to think of something, turned around and looked at Yan An, and asked in confusion.
"My dear, since today is our wedding day, why don't you wear your beautiful wedding dress?"
Before he could finish his words, he heard a creak and the door slowly opened.
In an instant, a shrill and sad phoenix cry suddenly sounded, breaking the originally quiet sky.
Lu Jingzhi was startled and turned his head quickly, only to see a phoenix with dazzling golden light all over its body swooping down towards the evil ghost hundreds of meters in the sky!
But at this moment, I am not in Panping Town? Instead, I am in the dense forest of Dongzhou.
"No...don't!"
Yan An was like a flower about to wither, falling weakly from the sky.
Her face was as pale as paper, her body was trembling slightly, and her once passionate heart was now being ruthlessly devoured by severe pain.
Lu Jingzhi was on the verge of collapse. She screamed at the top of her lungs, "No...no!"
His legs were instantly infused with powerful thunder and wind elements, and his whole body flew into the air at an astonishing speed like a gust of wind, and firmly embraced Yan An, who was falling rapidly, in his arms.
However, the familiar scene before him made Lu Jingzhi's heart tremble, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity arose spontaneously.
But at this moment, he had no time to think about these things, because the safety of Yan An in his arms was the top priority.
Without hesitation, he continuously injected the wood element contained in himself into Yan An's weak body, trying to save her life.
"Madam, wake up."
"Madam, wake up."
Finally, with Lu Jingzhi's unremitting efforts, Yan An's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, and then slowly opened.
However, when her eyes met Lu Jingzhi's, her eyes were filled with disappointment.
"Why are you so useless and can't help at all?"
Yan An said weakly, with no disguising the blame in his words.
When Lu Jingzhi heard this, his eyes widened and an indescribable sense of inferiority and guilt surged in his heart.
"Ma'am, I'm sorry."
He lowered his head, not daring to look Yan An in the eye, tears of self-blame welling up in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I will definitely work harder in my cultivation and become someone who can truly help you soon."
Yan An in his arms stared at him straight, and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate his soul.
Her lips opened and closed like a machine, uttering cold and hurtful words.
"You're so useless. You're just a complete waste."
"How could I have been so blind as to accept someone like you as my disciple?"
In the next second, Yan An, who was originally lying in his arms, turned into Lu Cheng in the blink of an eye!
Lu Cheng was seen tightly holding his bleeding but still beating heart, his face as pale as paper, and a weak and painful groan coming from his mouth.
"Jing'er...I'm in so much pain...My heart hurts so much..."
"Dad... Dad, what's wrong with you?" Lu Jingzhi's face was full of fear and worry, and his voice was trembling almost out of tune.
"father!"
As he let out this heart-wrenching cry, more familiar faces began to slowly appear around him like ghosts.
Their mouths opened and closed, repeating the harsh words in the same emotionless, mechanical tone.
"Son, look at how pathetic you are. You really disappoint me. I'm going to leave you."
"Brother, you are so useless. You can't even protect your sister and uncle. How can you be called a man?"
"Jingzhi, can you do it?"
"Humph, I don't know what Yan An sees in you?"
"A good-for-nothing guy like you is nothing more than a complete waste."
Lu Jingzhi widened his eyes, looking at the scene in disbelief.
His body curled up involuntarily and he hid in the corner, covering his ears with his hands, trying to block out all the unbearable scolding.
However, those voices were like omnipresent demons, still continuously drilling into his mind.
