Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 896 – I’d rather not

In the direction of the Caloro City, a straight line appeared on the vast and boundless desert. That was the sand brought up by the rapid speed, as if someone was drawing a straight line at the fastest speed possible in the desert. It was Qi Tian, the one who had rushed back with his life on the line despite being injured and drenched in blood. He went to the main rudder of the zhengzong, destroyed that formation, and rushed back to the Caloro City.

When he rushed out of the city, the war was already almost over. Yatuo Angge was dead, and the zhengzong’s army was scattered. An Zheng and the rest led the troops of the Caloro City in chasing after them for a while, killing tens of thousands of enemies.

After the end of the war, the valiant army of the Acropolis Kingdom came. After robbing some things on the battlefield, they returned to the battlefield in a victorious manner.

The monkey continued to search the battlefield. Almost every corpse had to be turned over.

No, no, still no.

Monkey was slightly comforted. It was good that An Zheng and the others were fine.

It was at this time that he saw Jialou Huowu, who had fallen in the desert. That bewitching beautiful woman was currently on the verge of death. She was already severely injured, and all these years, she had been constantly assassinating Yatuo Angge, causing her to be covered in injuries. The reason she summoned the White Bone Army to battle with the zhengzong’s army was to overdraft her life.

“Luckily...”

When Jialou Huowu saw the monkey, her pale face finally blushed a little, but that was not necessarily a good thing.

“Fortunately, before I died, you came back. I can still take another look at you.”

Jialou Huowu struggled to lift up her hand, and gently caress the monkey’s face. “How many years has it been? Do you remember? ”

Monkey gritted his teeth and nodded. “I remember.”

Jialou Huowu laughed: “But I’ve never dared to meet you, even if I saw you, I wouldn’t dare to face you. Qing Cang risked his life to steal your Aurous Core from the Great Thunder Lake Temple and hand it over to me. He told me to return it to you but I lost your aurous core. It’s all my fault... If I didn’t believe Yatuo Angge’s words so easily, you wouldn’t have suffered the torture of faking your death for ten thousand years. And the citizens of my Caloro City, as well as the citizens of the entire Pandora Kingdom, wouldn’t have to suffer such hardships for such a long time. ”

Monkey shook his head. “Don’t say anymore. I’ve never blamed you. That’s not your fault.”

He hugged Jialou Huowu, “I want to save you, no matter what, I have to save you.”

Jialou Huowu smiled as she shook her head and put her hands on Monkey’s shoulders, “Finally, you’re finally willing to hug me like this one day. At that time, I was following behind you and pestering you like an asshole. I tried everything I could to get you to pay attention to me, even willing to let go of all of my pride to get you to hug me, but you just wouldn’t. I know you don’t love me, and I know it. However, I am just this selfish. I always unconsciously imagine that you will slowly like me and then accept me. ”

“Stop it!”

Monkey quickly ran in the direction of the Caloro City: “I won’t allow you to die.”

“It’s really too late. I know how serious my injuries are. If not for that breath, I might have died thousands of years ago. Monkey, listen to me … I know why you don’t love me. You despise me from the bottom of your heart. You are a stone spirit formed from the essence of the sun and moon, the strongest existence amongst the immortals. As for me, I am just a skeleton that doesn’t want to die. I had to go through 99 tribulations to become the person you love before I could take on human form. I don’t have any other thoughts, I just want you to look at me one more time. ”

Monkey’s tears fell from the corner of his eyes. Due to the speed of the tears, they were already far behind him. Sunlight penetrated those tears, making them seem colorful.

“Tears are salty.”

Jialou Huowu’s tears flowed into her own mouth as she hugged the monkey tightly. “Actually, it’s bitter.”

Monkey shook his head. “I won’t allow you to die.”

Jialou Huowu’s face was leaned against the monkey’s chest: “I’m not afraid of death, I’ve never been afraid. The reason why I was reluctant to stay in this world is because I saw you hunting down monsters that would harm the human world when I was still in my final moments of consciousness. “I was originally an ordinary person in a small city in this desert. When I followed my father to another city to do business, I was killed by demon beasts, so my bones stayed in the desert and were exposed to the sun.”

“But I don’t know why, but that strand of my consciousness didn’t disappear. That’s why I was lucky. I saw you come from the horizon and use your iron rod to kill all of those monsters. “You finally avenged me, I …”

Jialou Huowu started to cough, blood flowing out from her mouth: “On that day, you were also like this, shining like the sun in the sky. At that time, I thought, “My man must beerless hero like you.”

Monkey said hoarsely, “I’m noeerless hero. I’m just a coward. I’ve been running away, trying to cover up my cowardice by blaming others. Regardless of whether it’s to you, Qing Cang or the Divisions, it’s me who owes you and not you who owes me. Qing Cang didn’t know that the Buddha was trying to trick me, he was only being used by others. He used the rest of his life to make up for it, but I have always hated him to the bones … ”

“And you, you’re right.”

Monkey looked down at Jialou Huowu: “I don’t love you, I don’t know what love is. But I know my heart hurts now. I don’t want you to die, so even if I have to spend all my life, I will save you. ”

He ceaselessly comforted Jialou Huowu: “My friend Xiao Liu’er has unparalleled medical skills, she definitely has a way to save you.”

Just then, An Zheng, Qu Liuxi and the others saw Monkey from the group that was chasing after the zhengzong and immediately rushed over. When Qu Liuxi saw the dying Jialou Huowu, her face immediately changed. “I gave you the golden core, why don’t you eat it?”

Jialou Huowu shook her head: “Damn it, that’s why I don’t want to eat it. I’ve already suffered for ten thousand years, and dying in his arms right now is the perfect ending. ”

She laughed and cried as she ran her fingers over Monkey’s face for the last time. “How I wish I could just let you carry me all the way to the end of time. I knew it was an extravagant request, something that would never happen. But I can’t help thinking, if there ever comes a day. My peerless hero no longer cares about the conflicts between the martial arts world and only cares about me. He took me and left this place to find a beautiful place and build a thatched cottage. From then on, I will be old … I’ve been thinking about it every single day for so many years. I’ve even remembered every single piece of wood, every single strand of straw, and the exact location they should be in my head. I even thought of … If you like it, I’ll give birth to a few more children for you. With me and the children accompanying you, you won’t be lonely. ”

Her hand fell from the monkey’s face and her body began to turn from soft to hard.

“Monkey, thank you for letting me die in your arms.”

She closed her eyes, and the last tear rolled down her cheek.

His two arms hung down powerlessly, knocking against the monkey’s body, as if scolding it. Why did you have to wait so long before you were willing to hug me? With a “pu” sound, Monkey fell to his knees, his knees sinking deep into the sand. He raised his head and let ouowl that seemed to be able to tear the sky apart.

Qu Liuxi knelt beside the monkey and pressed both hands onto Jialou Huowu’s chest. A while later, she turned around to look at An Zheng and painfully shook his head: “It’s too late, it’s too late for anything. She has overdrawn too much of his life force, and even if I had the Jindan [1] I wouldn’t be able to save her. ”

“Jindan?”

Monkey suddenly raised his head and looked at An Zheng. “Where’s the monk? Has the monk returned? ”

An Zheng took out the monkey’s golden core from his dimensional tool and gave it to the monkey, “This is your golden core, it was given to me by a monk from hell, but... But he did not come out. The sariras could only keep him in hell for twelve hours, and that was long past. I had previously tried to use the remnants of the Hell Rune Circle that Yatuo Angge had left behind to enter Hell to look for him, but I failed. ”

Monkey looked at the Jindan in his hands and suddenly pried open Jialou Huowu’s mouth which was already tightly shut and stuffed the Jindan inside, “I said before, I won’t let you die. I am the unparalleled hero in your heart. If I can’t save you, how useless would this unparalleled hero be? I would rather not have that ten thousand years of cultivation, than let you leave. You said that you owe me, and I said that I owe you. I just hope that after I save you, you will feel that between us … “We owe each other nothing.”

He stood up and passed Jialou Huowu’s Ten Thousand Year Golden Pellet, “My Gold Pellet is not the Gold Pellet for the pellet, but the Gold Pellet for the pellet is a lot stronger. It was refined using my ten thousand year cultivation, so even the divine pellets of Purple-Rank cannot compare to it. ”

Chen Shaobai was startled. “That is your ten-thousand-year cultivation, as long as you keep the golden pellet, you can recover the strength you used to back then.

“It’s just strength. Without it, I can start all over again.”

Monkey looked at Jialou Huowu, “But if I don’t save her, my heart will never be at peace for the rest of my life.”

He looked at Qu Liuxi, “After saving her, don’t tell her that I used the golden pellet to save her. Just say it was you who used your medical skills to save her. If she asks me where I’ve been, tell her I’ve been far away. ”

He turned around and walked into the distance, his back depressed.

“Monkey!”

An Zheng shouted at Monkey’s back, “Where are you going?”

“Find a result.”

Monkey did not even turn his head. “Did that damned monk think he could make me recite him for his entire life like this? No, I won’t let him. I’m sure he won’t die. I’ll pull him out of hell. He did not personally hand the Jindan over to me. He owed me, so he has to return it! ”
