Chapter 2735 - 2736: If There Is an Afterlife

Jiang Yichun now also had a fishtail, and felt that mysterious power, as if it was emanating from the depths of his bloodline.

He held Bai Ruozhu and followed the merfolk troops swimming towards the seabed.

The restrictions of the Gold Palace were lifted as the White Dragon regained freedom, the undersea vortex disappeared, and the merfolk quickly swam into the Gold Palace.

"This is the origin of our merfolk, this is our homeland!" someone shouted excitedly.

Many people were overjoyed, but suddenly someone burst into tears, crying with extreme grief.

The people around were affected, couldn’t help but quiet down, noticing that the one crying was a middle-aged merfolk, the father of the child who was exiled back then.

Duannian swam over, looking somewhat disdainfully at his father.

"Why, why is everyone like this, and yet why did you exile my son back then? He was only five years old!" Tan Zhen cried out.

No one could answer him, because the elders didn’t come, and it was unknown where they went.

"If it wasn’t like this, my family wouldn’t have been torn apart, why?" he cried out in agony.

Duannian finally walked over, reached out, and pushed him, "What are you pretending to be affectionate for? If you feel guilty for me and my mother, why don’t you just die? Why did you still eat the longevity flesh I exchanged?"

"I..." Tan Zhen could not respond, he feared death, so even though he was in pain, he still ate the longevity flesh.

Duannian sneered, "I will not forgive you, live in your pain for your selfishness and receive the deserved punishment."

Jiang Yichun swam over and patted his shoulder, saying: "Ignore him, let’s move inside."

The merfolk entered the Gold Palace, where somehow they could breathe freely, and Bai Ruozhu quickly woke up.

"Achun, I killed Feng Cheng, I shouldn’t have asked him to help." She cried bitterly.

She could not reciprocate anything to Feng Cheng, yet she implicated him multiple times, and he ended up sacrificing his soul for her.

"Don’t think like this, he doesn’t want to see you like this." Jiang Yichun felt stifled, if he could choose, he would rather be the one who sacrificed for her.

The White Dragon had transformed into a human form, and walked up to Bai Ruozhu saying: "He has words for you."

"Feng Cheng?" Bai Ruozhu widened her eyes, and indeed saw a faint shadow of Feng Cheng on the White Dragon’s body.

"Ruozhu, don’t be sad, isn’t there an ancient saying that everyone must die, some heavier than a mountain, some lighter than a feather? My curse couldn’t be undone, I originally didn’t have much time left, helping so many before dying, I consider my karmic merits complete." Feng Cheng said with a smile, his figure was very faint, nearly invisible.

"But you’re going to disappear forever." Bai Ruozhu cried, burning one’s soul leaves no chance for reincarnation.

"If there is a next life, if I can meet you first, would you accept me?" Feng Cheng asked softly, as if a bit nervous.

Bai Ruozhu didn’t even think, "I would, I would."

But he no longer had a next life, he just wanted an answer, she couldn’t hurt him again.

Beside them, Jiang Yichun felt a dull pain in his heart, but he didn’t blame her, so if there is a next life, he must find her before Feng Cheng, definitely!

Feng Cheng smiled, in an instant it was as if all the peach blossoms in the mountains and fields bloomed, Bai Ruozhu seemed to see the peach forest of the Jiuli Clan again, and saw that lonely figure in the peach forest, but he was to disappear with the wind.

"Thank you." Feng Cheng said, and his figure became faint, finally completely disappearing.

Bai Ruozhu cried bitterly, many merfolk followed suit, they knew if Feng Cheng hadn’t sacrificed himself, they wouldn’t have a chance at rebirth.

After a long time, Bai Ruozhu finally wiped her tears and choked: "Everything has settled, right? Let’s prepare to reunite with the ships, we should go home."

She wanted to return to the Jiuli Clan, to revisit the peach forest.

"Okay, we’ll leave when the ship arrives." Jiang Yichun said.

They were carried by the Xuan Gui, making speed much faster, it seemed they’d have to wait for one to two days for the ships to arrive.

"Sir, now the merfolk are without a leader, we wish to appoint you as king." Suddenly a merfolk stepped forward, paying respect and said to Jiang Yichun.

Looking around, all the merfolk had blue tails, but Jiang Yichun had a golden one.

"You should choose someone respected as a leader, I do not belong here." Jiang Yichun said.

At this moment Gao Zhou appeared holding Chushuang, Feng Ran and the Yuchen Palace people guarded both sides.

Jiang Yichun and Bai Ruozhu hurried to greet them, seeing Chushuang still breathing, both sighed with relief.

"The ship hasn’t arrived, let’s stay here for now." Jiang Yichun said.

"Alright." Gao Zhou nodded.

The merfolk hurried to tidy up, although the palace hadn’t been inhabited by merfolk for years, it was spotless, and a room was quickly prepared, Gao Zhou took Chushuang inside.

Ayi led the merfolk out to hunt for food, prepared a sumptuous banquet, but Bai Ruozhu couldn’t eat a bite.

At night, the lighting of the Gold Palace automatically dimmed, many fell into a deep slumber.

Bai Ruozhu took a bottle of wine from the space, and silently drank alone.

Her life disliked owing others, yet she owed Feng Cheng too much, and could never repay it.

Suddenly a white figure appeared, she startled, jumped up and asked: "Feng Cheng, is it you?"

The White Dragon approached, "No, I’m the White Dragon."

Bai Ruozhu’s eyes could not hide her disappointment, "Sorry, I was seeing things."

"Mind if I have a drink?" The White Dragon moved closer to sit down.

Bai Ruozhu took another jug of wine from the space and handed it directly to him. The White Dragon was stunned for a moment, was she not giving him a cup, making him drink directly?

He opened the seal, poured the wine into his mouth, taking a deep breath, saying with emotion: "I haven’t had wine in hundreds of years, thank you."

"No need to be polite, actually I have a favor to ask of you." Bai Ruozhu said.

"Let’s hear it, I’ll do my best if I can help." The White Dragon appeared less ferocious, more like a caring big brother.

"You just saw Achun’s mother right? She is the saintess of the merfolk, they raised her as longevity flesh, living past thirty by eating her, now on her body..." Bai Ruozhu had a hard time continuing.

She sniffled, "Previously the great elder said if she was fed your Dragon Ball, she could survive, but she refused, deciding to let us return the Dragon Ball to you."

Mentioning the saintess, the White Dragon’s hand paused, recalling sad memories.

After a long while, he spoke softly, "A pity, and admirable woman."

"If you have a way, can you save her? She and my father-in-law have been apart for over twenty years, just reunited, I cannot bear to see them separate." Bai Ruozhu said.

"I have no spells to bring the dead back to life or reconstruct flesh, I’m just a dragon, not an immortal." The White Dragon sighed.
