"Phew …" Ji Dong let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes. His black eyes were glowing again, and they were even deeper than before.
Seven days. It only took seven days for his body to fully recover. Of course, this was not only because of his strong body, but also because of Chen Sixuan's help.
Chen Sixuan's Yi Wood Mana had greatly nourished his body. In addition, after their souls merged, Ji Dong's control of Mana was more subtle when breaking through the blocked meridians, which greatly accelerated his recovery time.
At this time, not only had Ji Dong's body and cultivation recovered, but he had also made great progress. The strong pressure from the Three-legged Golden Crow had undoubtedly stimulated his own potential. During the process of soul merging with Chen Sixuan, Ji Dong's Soul Vortex had also increased. Whether it was Mana or Mind Power, both had obviously improved in these seven days.
Chen Sixuan had also gained a lot. Although her Mana had not improved much, the benefits to her soul were greater than Ji Dong's. Although she was reborn in the Flaming Bar, her Mind Power was limited to the original Princess Xuan's. Ji Dong's soul was much stronger than hers. After this fusion, although Ji Dong's soul was stimulated and improved, Chen Sixuan's Soul Power had almost doubled.
"Alright, the meridians are finally open." Feeling the huge Mana surging out of Ji Dong's body, Chen Sixuan was even more excited than he was.
"Thank you." Ji Dong was sitting cross-legged. Chen Sixuan was behind him, helping him with her soul and Mana. However, he did not turn around. Instead, he cut off the soul connection between him and Chen Sixuan.
"Teacher Ji Dong, what's wrong?" Chen Sixuan was slightly stunned. Her heart was filled with disappointment when the soul connection was cut off.
Ji Dong shook his head and said, "I'm fine. Chen Sixuan, can you tell me why you like me? When you first met me, you didn't know that I had this kind of cultivation. At that time, I was just a drunkard. You, on the other hand, are the Princess of the Eastern Wood Empire. You have the title of the world's most beautiful woman. You're not even 20 years old, but your Mana has already broken through level 60. You're even more outstanding than me. I don't understand why you would like someone like me."
Chen Sixuan smiled and took the initiative to walk in front of Ji Dong. She sat in front of him and stared at Ji Dong with her big, dark green eyes. A gentle light flowed out from the bottom of her eyes. At this moment, she was thinking about all the things that had happened between her and Ji Dong. She wanted so badly to tell him that she was his Flaming Bar. However, she couldn't say it. In order to protect his body and soul, she couldn't say it. However, she didn't hold back her deep love for him.
Ji Dong subconsciously closed his eyes. At this moment, he actually didn't dare to look at Chen Sixuan. He really didn't understand why Princess Xuan would have such deep feelings for him. This shouldn't have happened at all.
"Teacher Ji Dong, you don't need to understand. Even if it's love at first sight, is that okay? There is fate between people. Perhaps we already had this fate in our previous life. When I saw you, I couldn't help but fall in love with you. Even if you call me a love-struck fool, it doesn't matter. In any case, I will only belong to you in this life. Even if you don't want me, I won't let you go. I will definitely stay by your side."
When Ji Dong opened his eyes again, his gaze had already become a bit colder. This coldness was not forced by him, but was truly cold, because the moment he closed his eyes, what appeared in his mind was the scene before Raging Flame's death. He used that heartache to the point where he couldn't breathe to drive everything about Chen Sixuan out of the edge of his inner world.
Seeing the change in Ji Dong's gaze, Chen Sixuan was slightly stunned. She didn't understand why Ji Dong, who had been fine just a moment ago, would suddenly have such a huge change.
Ji Dong spoke. His voice was very calm, but it was this calmness that caused Chen Sixuan's heart to contract.
"Chen Sixuan, I'm very grateful to you for helping me when we were facing the Three-legged Golden Crow. You're a very outstanding girl, and you deserve the title of the most beautiful woman in the world. You not only have an outstanding appearance and talent, but also a kind heart, which can attract most men. However, I have to tell you that I'm an exception. It's absolutely impossible for us to be together. I think you should have felt it when our souls fused together. She's the only one in my heart. Even though she's already dead, no one can replace her in my heart, not in the past, and not in the future. I'll only belong to her in this lifetime, the future generations, and eternity. I'll be loyal and faithful to her. Don't waste your time on me, because it won't bring you any results. If you don't want to be hurt, you'd better take this opportunity to dispel the idea in your heart. In this way, perhaps we can still be friends." Chen Sixuan said with a smile, "Chen Sixuan, I'm very grateful to you for your help when you faced the Three-legged Golden Crow.
Chen Sixuan's heart and body were trembling, not because of disappointment or pain, but because of the rising love. How could Ji Dong know that when he rejected Princess Xuan, he was actually confessing to her. His Flaming Bar was right in front of him. His resolute and cold rejection not only couldn't dispel Chen Sixuan's love for him, but it also ignited it to the extreme.
Chen Sixuan's voice trembled, "Since she is already dead, why can't you give me a chance, and give yourself a chance too? If she could see you now, she wouldn't want you to suffer so much. She would definitely want someone else to take care of you, accompany you, and let you live a happy and happy life. "
Ji Dong smiled, it was a proud and loving smile, "You are right. If my Flaming Bar could see me now, she would definitely think the same way. But what she thinks doesn't represent what I do. Of course, she wants me to be happy, but only when I am with her, I am truly happy. She is dead, but I am still alive. Do you know why?"
Chen Sixuan didn't say anything, she only looked at Ji Dong silently.
Ji Dong's emotions suddenly became agitated, and his voice was clearly raised, "Because I want to fulfill her unfinished wish. When her wish is fulfilled, I will eventually go find her. No matter where she is, I will find her and accompany her."
"But, she is already dead." Tears flowed down Chen Sixuan's face like pearls from a broken necklace.
She once again saw the endless sorrow and loneliness in Ji Dong's eyes, and also the deep love and longing he had for her. She really wanted to throw herself into his arms!
"After death, I became a ghost. I will turn into a ghost and go find her." Ji Dong's voice suddenly stopped, and his expression became calm once again. This calm sentence was like a heavy hammer, ruthlessly hitting Chen Sixuan's heart.
Ji Dong, Ji Dong, I … I …
Chen Sixuan suddenly prostrated herself on the ground, she was sobbing uncontrollably. Even she didn't know what kind of emotions she was feeling. It was only at this moment that she truly understood how difficult the bet between herself and the Evil God was.
"I will find a chance to repay you for your help this time. I've already made myself very clear, please don't disturb me in the future."
As he spoke, Ji Dong had already walked out of the cave. He stood outside the cave, looking at the mountain that was devastated by the volcanic eruption. He didn't want to hurt Chen Sixuan, but it was better to get the pain over with than to prolong it. To him, rejecting her so directly was definitely good for her. How could he know that Chen Sixuan was crying not because of pain, but because she was moved?
Chen Sixuan's crying became louder, as if she wanted to release all the sadness in her heart at this moment. A hint of pity flashed in Ji Dong's eyes, but he didn't turn around to comfort her. In his mind, he wanted to solve this problem once and for all, so that it wouldn't be troublesome in the future. As he looked at the sky that had returned to normal, he kept repeating the name of the Flaming Bar in his heart.
As time passed, the crying in the cave gradually faded until it completely disappeared. Ji Dong was still standing at the entrance of the cave, waiting for Chen Sixuan to come out.
Finally, Chen Sixuan walked out of the cave. Her eyes were red, and there were even a few drops of tears on her fair cheeks. She looked even more lovable. She silently walked behind Ji Dong and looked at his lonely figure. Her gaze couldn't help but be a little dazed. Ji Dong, no matter what price I have to pay, I will definitely make you fall in love with me now. I must be with you again.
"We should return to the academy," said Ji Dong calmly.
"No, we can't go back yet. Teacher Ji Dong, have you forgotten the purpose of facing the Three-legged Golden Crow this time?" Ji Dong was slightly stunned and slowly turned around. He couldn't help but look away when he saw Chen Sixuan's tear-stained face. He had to admit that this Princess Xuan was extremely attractive to him. It wasn't just because she also had a perfect appearance. The most irresistible thing to Ji Dong was the feeling after their souls merged. It was like water and milk touching each other. If it wasn't for his strong willpower, Ji Dong was afraid that he would have been unable to extricate himself.
"The Three-legged Golden Crow has already self-destructed. What can we do even if we have a purpose?"
Chen Sixuan shook her head. She flicked her fingers and dark-red lights shot out from her hand, landing in front of Ji Dong. They were pieces of dark-red metal that seemed to have lost their vitality. They quietly fell to the ground and made clanking sounds. Each piece of metal was broken beyond recognition, but they still emitted a proud aura. These were the fragments of Ji Dong's Godfire Saintly King Armor.
"You found them all?" Ji Dong looked at Chen Sixuan in shock.
Chen Sixuan silently nodded and said, "I found 352 fragments in total. Then I carefully searched four or five times and didn't find anything else. There should be quite a few. Teacher Ji Dong, your armor won't be melted by the lava. These fragments should be useful to you."
Shock. At this moment, Ji Dong's heart was filled with shock. How difficult was it for a wood element mage to find fragments of metal in the mouth of a volcano? She was a girl that wasn't even 20 years old. What kind of power did she have to support herself to complete all of this? The Eternal Armor could only barely protect her body from the heat of the lava, but it still had a great effect on her. Even Ji Dong himself didn't have the confidence to find every single fragment of the Godfire Saintly King Armor, but she had done it. And her expression was as if she had done something insignificant.
Ji Dong's heart violently tightened. He couldn't resist the intense pain in his heart. This girl had done so much for him, but he had just hurt her. Ji Dong fell silent as he condemned himself in his heart.
These fragments were of course useful to Ji Dong. As long as he had them, Ji Dong would be able to use the fusion technique to refine them in his body in no time. He didn't know what to say to Chen Sixuan.
He absorbed the fragments one by one into his body. The fusion technique quickly retrieved the fragments of the Godfire Saintly King Armor. Ji Dong's lips were tightly pursed. He knew that he owed this girl too much. He had to repay this favor. Otherwise, even if he helped the Flaming Bar complete all of its wishes, he wouldn't be able to find her with a calm heart.
Chen Sixuan stood to the side and silently watched as Ji Dong retrieved the Godfire Saintly King Armor. Her expression had already returned to its peaceful state, and there was even a faint smile on her face.
Ji Dong was apologetic, but her heart was filled with boundless love. Ji Dong's rejection was actually the best confession to her. She was both Chen Sixuan and the Flaming Bar. How could she be angry at him?
Chen Sixuan raised her right hand as she watched Ji Dong retrieve the fragments. Suddenly, Ji Dong felt the area around him heat up. Then, a dazzling golden light appeared on Chen Sixuan's right hand.
When Ji Dong saw the golden light on Chen Sixuan's hand, his gaze immediately froze. It was a golden ball. The dazzling golden light condensed into a golden membrane around it. The intense heat caused the temperature around them to rise rapidly. The spiritual golden light seemed to want to struggle out of Chen Sixuan's hand, and the heat it brought caused Chen Sixuan to reveal a pained expression.
"Hurry and take it, Teacher Ji Dong." Chen Sixuan quickly handed the golden ball over. Ji Dong subconsciously reached out with both hands to receive it.
