Chu Kong didn’t look back. With his back to me in a tired and hoarse voice which still is calm he asked: “How far can you run?”
I silently measured my ability. I shook my head: “Can run, but the flamed beast will be certainly faster than me.”
Chu Kong was silent. Timely, the flamed beast shouted. It seemed like he prepared himself for the last combat. He stood up and rushed toward us.
Chu Kong put the crimson whip on his chest. He sang a spell. The whip changed into a sword. The sword was really red like it’s soaked in blood.
This is the first time that I knew that his whip can also be used like this.
Chu Kong held the sword. His whole body emitted an immortal energy. He didn’t look back and said: “When you spot an opportunity, run. These two animals won’t be able to catch up with you. Hold the stones. Remember to go fill the hole.”
What about you……
I didn’t need to ask these words; I can already guess his mind. He made up his mind to fight to death. But with this death, nobody knows if he can reincarnate again.
“I……don’t want to be a widow.”
Chu Kong heard my speech. With some surprise, he turned around.
Smoke formed on my body, making the entire cave full of white mist. Even the flames on the flamed beast have been extinguished for a moment.
Chu was furious: “Stupid thing. Not allowed to transform into your real form! Do you really want to be grilled?!”
When he finished saying those words, I’ve already transformed into my real form. I turned into a mass of clouds and wrapped Chu Kong. I flew to the sky. I didn’t fly fast. Besides, I dragged a long string of old clouds.
The flamed beasts below couldn’t see their opponent because of the smoke. They were furious. A fireball flew towards me. Because I was without a shell, he couldn’t hurt me. But he dried a lot of the mist on my body.
Dawn’s light passes through Kun Wu Mountain before it sprinkled on the earth. Sharp cries can be heard from the cave of the little flamed beasts. They are presumably hungry.
The flamed beast roared a few times at me, but he didn’t come after me.
I flew with the wind and floated in the sky. It’s been a long time since I’ve such a feeling of freedom.
“Hey! Are you alright?”
Chu Kong’s head drilled out of the clouds, while he loudly asked me.
I couldn’t speak. My body went to below.
In fact…..I’m really not alright……
The smoke cleared. Once again, I turned into a human. Without the power of an immortal, I can only fall straight down. My back is tearing in pain. My heart felt really unbearable, making me feel a pain like being baked.
Chu Kong pulled me into his arms. The wind blew my hair. Chu Kong patted my face while scolding me: “Now you know it’s unbearable! Say to not change to your real form, but you just don’t listen! Did it feel comfortable being roasted as a cloud fairy?!”
His voice has been broken by the wind. I also shouted hoarsely: “If I didn’t see that you’re nearly dying, why would I do so?! Ungrateful thing!”
“Who is the ungrateful thing?! Do you think I saved you to let you sacrifice yourself?!”
I was paused and then said: “Got it! Is it interesting fighting for this?! Fill the hole. After filling the hole, go back and get married!”
Comments:
I didn’t blog for five days, because I was sad from a break up. I broke the relationship, but it still feel like I’m the one being dumped.
Letting go of feelings is really hard, maintaining a relationship is also hard. But I realized it’s time to let go. Freeing him is freeing myself.
