On the peak of a tall mountain, snowflakes fluttered in the air and the cold wind was fierce. There was a huge piece of ice with the words' Grave of Water Master Archmage Shui Linglong 'written on it.
Shui Ruoyan knelt in front of the tombstone for a long time. Pure white snowflakes fell on her shoulders as she foolishly stared at the tombstone without moving. And as for Long Yi, he was standing not far behind her. His back was as straight as a mountain as he silently guarded her from behind. At this moment, any words would be useless. This kind of tragedy was truly a great misfortune in one's life.
After a long time, the sky gradually darkened, and when the wind and snow became more and more dreary, Shui Ruoyan suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "Longyi, should I hate them?"
Ichi answered without hesitation.
"Then, should I kill them or not?" Shui Ruoyan continued to ask while her little hand grabbed the Ice Blue Magic Staff left behind by Shui Linglong.
An indifferent reply.
Shui Ruoyan remained silent for a long time, then stood up, but because she had been kneeling for too long, her blood and qi weren't circulating properly, so she staggered and fell backwards.
Longyi's figure flashed and his big hand hugged Shui Ruoyan's slender waist. He squatted down and started massaging her meridians. However, he felt a stabbing pain in his heart because of the painful expression on her face.
"Let's go back." Shui Ruoyan said softly and leaned on Longyi's shoulder in exhaustion.
Longyi brought along Shui Ruoyan and flew to the small village at the foot of the mountain. The atmosphere of the entire village was very oppressive. All the elites of the Dark Church were hiding in their houses without uttering a single word. At this time, everyone knew that something big had happened in the Dark Church. Pope Lady had killed the mother of the Dark Pope.
"Young Master Ximen. Miss, His Majesty the Pope has invited you. "As soon as the two of them entered the village, Netherpriest Rafael greeted them. It was obvious that he had been waiting outside for a long time.
Shui Ruoyan's charming body trembled, and her little hands tightly grasped Longyi's sleeves, seemingly wanting to obtain courage from Longyi's body.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here." Longyi gently held Shui Ruoyan's little hand in his palm, then led her into the room with the Netherworld Priest.
A pile of firewood was still burning in the room, and the Dark Pope was standing in front of the window with his back facing the door. His figure looked sad and lonely.
After Rafael brought them there, he tactfully turned around and left. He closed the door, leaving only Longyi and the other two in the room.
The Dark Pope slowly turned around. He unexpectedly became a lot thinner overnight, and his expression was exactly the same as Shui Ruoyan, making people unable to bear to look at him. This reduced the bad impression Long Yi had towards him by a lot. However, he believed that he would never be able to forgive that Pope Lady who had a heart as venomous as a snake. The reason why he didn't kill her back then was because he wanted to see how the Dark Pope would deal with her.
"Ruoruo … …" The Dark Pope looked at Shui Ruoyan with a somewhat excited expression. He seemed to have a lot of words he wanted to say but he was unable to say them.
"You shut up, you don't have the qualifications to call me that." Shui Ruoyan suddenly roared. He turned around, opened the door, and rushed out.
"Ruoruo, come back." Long Yi's heart tightened, and he was about to chase after her.
"Young Master Ximen. Leave her alone for a while. I have something to tell you. "The Dark Pope stopped Longyi. His voice was very bleak.
"If you have something to say, just say it." Longyi stopped his footsteps and said indifferently.
"Ruoruo … how has she been all these years?" The Dark Pope took a deep breath and asked softly.
"All in all, she hasn't been too bad. But you know, she always thought that you were dead and the murderer was her grandmother. As a result, the relationship between her and her grandmother was very bad for a long time. "Longyi recalled Shui Ruoyan's expression when she spoke about this matter and sighed softly.
The Dark Pope remained silent and closed his eyes. His blue hair fluttered even though there was no wind.
After a long time, the Dark Pope slowly said, "In the future, take good care of her for me. Can you do that?" He suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Longyi with a sharp gaze.
Longyi smiled and said, "Ruoruo is my woman. I will use my life to take care of her."
"Alright, I believe you. Also, Lingr, don't neglect any of them." The Dark Pope continued.
Longyi nodded his head. Suddenly, a strange feeling welled up in his heart. However, he wasn't clear about the specifics.
"As a matter of fact, I gathered all the elites of the Dark Church because I want to cooperate with Long Zhan to deal with your Ximen Clan." The Dark Pope suddenly said.
"Even if you don't say it, I have already guessed it." Longyi shrugged his shoulders. He wasn't a fool. With such a large number of people of the Dark Church gathered here, it would be strange if they didn't come for their Ximen Clan.
The Dark Pope stared at Longyi for a long time and nodded his head in appreciation. This son-in-law of his was truly not simple. Even he couldn't see through him. It could be assumed that handing over his two daughters to him wouldn't be a disgrace to them. If they had met earlier, they might have gotten along very well.
"I have said everything I need to say. You can leave now." The Dark Pope turned around and said indifferently.
Longyi frowned and walked out of the wooden house. He felt that the reason why the Dark Pope stopped him was not just to make him promise to take care of his daughters. There should be something else. However, since the Dark Pope didn't say anything, it was fine. At this point, it could be assumed that the Dark Pope wouldn't deal with the Ximen Clan anymore. After all, the Dark Pope had already handed over his two daughters to him.
Not long after Longyi left, Pope Lady Ye 'er appeared beside the Dark Pope with a perturbed mood.
"My husband … … I'm sorry." Pope Lady gritted her teeth and said timidly. Although she was vicious to others, she was very obedient in front of the Dark Pope.
The Dark Pope remained silent. He was still looking at the fluttering snow outside the window. No one knew what he was thinking. However, his straight back appeared somewhat stooped at this moment.
"My husband, I know that I am in the wrong. If you feel uncomfortable, you can just kill me." Pope Lady hesitated in her heart. She took two steps forward and grabbed the big hand of the Dark Pope.
The Dark Pope turned his head and glanced at his wife indifferently. He said in a low voice, "Ye 'er, if you really have the heart, accompany me to my mother's grave to repent."
Pope Lady stared blankly for a long time. After that, she gritted her teeth and nodded.
In the pitch-black night, two shadows landed on the mountain peak one after another. They knelt down heavily in front of Shui Linglong's tombstone.
"Mother, your son is unfilial. I'm ashamed to have let you down.
Leaning against the tombstone, he pressed his face against the ice-cold stone surface. As for Tong 'er, she knelt behind him in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking.
After a long time, the Dark Pope stopped crying. He turned his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Ye 'er, you and I have been married for nearly thirty years. I know that you have done your best to save me.
I know that everything you have done is for my sake. However … … killing one's mother is not tolerated by the heavens. I have no way to blame you. I can only die to honor my deceased mother. "
Pope Lady was startled and a bad premonition appeared in her heart. She stepped forward and grabbed his hand. She screamed, "My husband, everything is my fault. Don't do anything stupid."
The Dark Pope shook his head and smiled sorrowfully. He stretched out his hand and caressed his wife's face. However, a trace of black blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth.
Pope Lady used her trembling hand to wipe away the trace of blood at the corner of the Dark Pope's mouth. She said in a trembling voice, "Heart Piercing Shadow Poison, my husband. Why … … why are you so stupid? If you want to confess, you can just kill me. Why … … "She was already sobbing uncontrollably.
"For thirty years, I haven't fulfilled the filial duties that a son should have. Mother … mother will be … very lonely down there. I want to … accompany her. "The Dark Pope spat out a mouthful of black blood. The Dark Pope spat out a mouthful of black blood and leaned into his wife's embrace.
"My husband, you let me live alone in this world. You are really cruel. " Pope Lady murmured with tears flowing down her face. Her expression gradually became firm. Suddenly, a black light flashed in her hand and a black sword pierced towards her heart as fast as lightning.
She let out a muffled groan as the blade completely pierced into her body. The corners of her mouth curled upwards as she stared at the Dark Pope. Two drops of tears fell onto the Dark Pope's cheeks, mixing with his tears. After that, the two of them hugged each other and slowly closed their eyes. Both of them had a look of relief on their faces.
Early the next morning, Longyi brought Shui Ruoyan back after a night of wind and snow. He discovered that all the elites of the Dark Church were gathered together. Lafaer was standing in front of them with a solemn expression. However, the Dark Pope and his wife were nowhere to be seen.
"Young Master Ximen, please come over." Lafaer called out with a hint of respect in his tone.
Puzzled, Longyi walked forward. However, Lafaer suddenly knelt down and raised a magic staff that was glowing with a strange black light. He loudly said, "Under the order of His Majesty the Pope, this subordinate will hand over the keepsake of the Dark Church to Young Master Ximen. From now on, the Dark Church will be under Young Master Ximen's command. Those who don't obey will be hacked into pieces."
Longyi was stunned. What is going on? What the hell is that old bastard Dark Pope doing?
"This subordinate pays respect to His Majesty the Pope." Lafaer bowed down on the ground.
"This subordinate pays respect to His Majesty the Pope." The rest of the elites of the Dark Church also bowed down.
"What the hell is going on? Where is the Pope? " Longyi was naturally willing to accept such a huge force. The problem was that he had to figure out what was going on.
Lafaer shook his head and said, "This subordinate doesn't know. After His Majesty the Pope told this subordinate these things, he disappeared. Madam also disappeared at the same time."
Shui Ruoyan's expression changed. Suddenly, she thought of something and flew towards the top of the mountain. Longyi followed closely behind her.
"Everyone, keep up." Lafaer ordered and also flew up. He hadn't handed over the keepsake of the Dark Church to Longyi yet. What if he didn't come back?
As soon as Shui Ruoyan reached the top of the mountain, she saw her father and mother hugging each other. They were almost covered by snowflakes. Moreover, she couldn't feel any vitality from them. She was stunned at that time. Her pale face became even more morbid. She giggled twice and retreated two steps. Her laughter became louder and louder as she said, "Dead, it's good that they're dead, it's good that they're dead."
"Ruoruo, don't be like this." Seeing Shui Ruoyan's crazy appearance, Longyi felt pain in his heart. Although she hated her biological parents, she suddenly lost three relatives. If it was him, he also couldn't bear it.
"Longyi, don't worry. Look at me, do I look like I'm in trouble? I'm happy, I'm really happy. "
"Ruoruo." Longyi roared and pulled her into his arms.
"Let go of me, hateful, let go of me." Shui Ruoyan struggled and shouted in Longyi's arms.
"Ruoruo, don't be like this. If you want to cry, just cry." Longyi let her grab and scratch him and used a gentle voice to comfort her.
"Cry? Who wants to cry? Why should I cry? "Shui Ruoyan used all her strength to push Longyi away and blankly looked at her biological parents who were hugging each other.
"You … do you think that death can wash away your sins? Cowards, you are cowards. You are not worthy to be my father and mother. " Shui Ruoyan pointed at the Dark Pope couple who had been dead for a long time. Suddenly, her charming body softened and she sat on the ground. It was as if all her strength had been sucked away. Her eyes were brimming with tears. She was so sad that it made people's hearts ache.
Longyi sat down and pulled Shui Ruoyan into his arms. He patted her shoulder and said softly, "Silly girl, just cry. Holding it in will harm your body. If that happens, I will die of heartache."
Shui Ruoyan first silently sobbed, and as if she was unable to breathe, she took large mouthfuls of air. Then, her tears flowed out like a flood, and she hugged Long Yi's waist and wailed like a child. Truly, anyone who heard it would feel sad, and anyone who saw it would shed tears.
"Good girl, just cry. I will always be by your side." Longyi patted Shui Ruoyan's back rhythmically and shook his head and sighed in his heart. He had never thought that a Water Master Archmage and the Dark Church's Dark Pope couple would end their lives in this way.
At this time, Rafael led the mighty elites of the Church to catch up. Seeing this scene, everyone knelt down and muttered something under their breath.
Not long after, Shui Ruoyan fainted in Longyi's arms. This made Longyi feel both love and pity. Why was his teacher's fate so tragic?
