Chapter 2076: The Final Confession

Xuanyuan Cheng was in a slight daze as he looked at the cultivators fighting down below.

Among those people were his classmates, his companions, his brothers All of them were so valuable to him.

And then, there were An Lin and Xu Xiaolan, who were far away in Yue Tong City

It was a pity that he wouldnt get to see them one last time

Xuanyuan Cheng heaved a faint sigh, and even though he was feeling quite wistful, he still maintained a placid expression.

Shu Honglan had her arms around Xuanyuan Chengs neck, and her head was resting on his shoulder. She suddenly said in a gentle voice, Ah Cheng[1], I love you.

Xuanyuan Cheng was taken aback by her sudden words. How many times had she confessed to him already?

He recalled that in the past, he had always brushed her off without giving her a definitive reply.

He looked at the gorgeous woman beside him, and he could see the unprecedented determination and passion in her eyes.

Xuanyuan Cheng smiled. I also love you.

In that instant, it was as if the entire heaven and earth had fallen silent.

Shu Honglan looked at his elderly features, and she felt as if she could see that handsome face from the past.

She also smiled. After confessing so many times, she finally heard the answer she had dreamed of on countless occasions. However, she was not as elated or excited as she thought she would be.

Perhaps that was because she already knew the answer long ago, and hearing him actually utter those words only acted as confirmation.

Shu Honglan pecked Xuanyuan Cheng on the face and asked with a blush, Are you only willing to admit it because you think you dont have long to live?

Xuanyuan Cheng thought about that carefully before shaking his head. Thats not the case. If you were to confess to me again, I think I would have admitted it no matter what condition I was in.

Shu Honglans mouth gaped open upon hearing that, and her tears finally overflowed.

Those words were undoubtedly a heavy blow to her.

How could fate be so cruel?

Honglan, you have to live on even without me, Xuanyuan Cheng said in an earnest voice.

Dont worry, I wont do something as foolish as committing suicide. A determined expression appeared on Shu Honglans intricate features, but she then continued in a soft voice, The only thing is Ill never dance again. Without you there to watch me, there is no purpose to my dancing

She could sense that Xuanyuan Chengs vitality was quickly fading away, and it was an irreversible process.

Bai Ling was doing absolutely everything she could, but she was still unable to keep Xuanyuan Cheng alive.

Xuanyuan Cheng was lying when he said that he had no regrets. However, he was quite elated that he was able to create such a fantastic opportunity for his comrades and friends to retaliate. Dying like that wasnt too bad

He was feeling very very tired.

He was slowly becoming unable to sense the warmth of the woman next to him.

Is this it

Splat!

A sharp pain suddenly shot through Xuanyuan Chengs heart.

He shuddered as if he had been electrocuted, and he suddenly became a lot more alert. Even the soul that was about to leave his body abruptly returned.

He then saw a little red flower wiggling its tender green stem around as its roots pierced into his heart.

Xi Xiao Hong?! Xuanyuan Cheng exclaimed.

Elder Xiao Hong? Shu Honglan was also given a fright. She had no idea how the little red flower had appeared on Xuanyuan Chengs body.

A sweet voice sounded.

Sigh Whats going with you and your dad? I only just managed to save your father, and now youre about to die as well. You two are exhausting to look after Xiao Hong grumbled.

If I want to bring you back, Im going to have to sunbathe for a long time to recover

Xuanyuan Cheng and Shu Honglan were both stunned by her words.

B bring me back? Xuanyuan Cheng murmured in disbelief.

Shu Honglans eyes were wide with ecstasy, and she asked in a trembling voice, Xiao Hong y-you can save Ah Cheng? Is that true? Can you really save him?

I can, but youre even harder to save than your father was. I can only bring back your lost lifespan and cultivation base, but your dao is already severely broken, and I cant do anything about that for now, Xiao Hong replied with a forlorn expression.

Xuanyuan Cheng and Shu Honglan were both astonished once again.

Not only could she save his life, but she could also even recover his lost lifespan and cultivation base?

Why did she look so disappointed in herself?

Xuanyuan Cheng and Shu Honglan were about to weep tears of joy!

If survival was an option, who would want to die?

They were extremely thankful that he could be kept alive at all, and they felt like they were in heaven after Xiao Hong told them that even his lifespan and cultivation base could be recovered.

Shu Honglan trembled uncontrollably as she thanked her over and over again.

Xuanyuan Cheng was also expressing his gratitude, but at the same time, he was asking whether Xiao Hong would have to incur harm upon herself in order to save him. He really wanted to live, but he wasnt selfish enough to ask others to sacrifice themselves for him. Xiao Hong laid his concerns to rest by telling him that the process would be very exhausting for her, but there were no long-term detriment
