Chapter 1247: Chen Xinjie’s Confession

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chen Xinjie’s vision blurred instantly. He simply could not imagine that he would tear up at this moment when he was already over a hundred years old.

“Everyone, leave!” He suddenly turned around and shouted in rage at the first lieutenant standing behind him. Then, he waved his huge hand once and conjured a gush of the most frightening tidal-like energy. The energy rolled up all the soldiers and the rover before pushing them toward the barracks.

Everything in the surroundings warped and blurred. No detection equipment could possibly detect the location where a Limit Douluo wishes to hide.

He turned around once again. Their eyes met one another. Her eyes were slightly murky but her gaze remained firm. How could there be no emotional response in her eyes?

How long had it been since they last met each other? It had been thirty-six years, four months and eight days. She remembered and he did, too.

These two people, at the peak of the world, stood gazing into each other’s eyes. No one took the initiative to speak first.

It was sufficient to just gaze into the eyes of the other as such.

Light shadows from the Thought Concretization arose around Long Yeyue without her noticing. Nonetheless, she immediately waved her hand to scatter the light shadows.

Chen Xinjie’s chest shook violently once. There was nothing more shocking than the appearance of the light shadows. Although she had not spoken at all, the moment they appeared, the light shadows represented more than a thousand words for him.

No one else could tell the significance of those light shadows. How could he not know the meaning of those shadows having experienced it himself and was similarly equipped with the Thought Concretization ability?

It was their story!

Chen Xinjie’s heart turned soft at this very moment. All the firmness, arrogance, obstinacy, and grit seemed to have vanished.

He took a big step forward and was next to Long Yeyue. It took Long Yeyue a little by surprise who had not expected him to do so. The Light Dark Dragon Empress fell back by half a step as if she was petrified.

In the next moment, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her body.

Tears streamed down from Chen Xinjie’s eyes uncontrollably. His voice trembled and sobbed as he roared deeply and incoherently. “Alive, you’re alive. You’re still alive!”

When Long Yeyue was hugged by him, she wished to blast him away. However, her heart was filled with shame and embarrassment immediately.

She felt the softest part of her heart being slammed violently as she heard his sobbing voice and felt his trembling strong hands. Her rank-99 Limit Douluo cultivation base seemed to have vanished instantly. Her palm which had already pushed out grabbed his general’s military uniform subconsciously.

“You’re still alive. This is great, this is truly amazing…” Chen Xinjie’s tears could not stop flowing. At the moment, he lost the overbearingness of the War God Hall’s Hall Master. He lost all reservation as he cried like a child. Almost a hundred years of affection which had accumulated in his heart burst forth akin to an oil blowout.

The Boundless Sea Douluo did not hold back anymore for there was utterly no way he could control the release of his emotions. His only thoughts and feelings were of this senile-looking woman which he could never forget in his lifetime.

“Let go of me!” shouted Long Yeyue, slightly embarrassed.

“No, I won’t!” Chen Xinjie wrapped his arms around her even tighter.

She knew very well that she could blast him away if she exerted her strength, and he knew too. Yet, they continued hugging each other.

Long Yeyue transformed in his arms in the next moment.

Her bent back straightened rapidly. Her snowy white hair gradually turned black while her aged appearance vanished. The wrinkles on her skin were gone and her complexion became fair and smooth. A hundred years of aging vanished in a moment as she regained her youth.

At present, the Boundless Sea Douluo felt his heart melt completely as he sensed the old woman in his arms regain her youth and smelled her maiden’s scent lingering in his nose. His appearance was undergoing a silent transformation too, as he returned to his youth.

The young Chen Xinjie had a pair of brows which pointed upward. His facial features were distinguished. He exuded an indomitable and unyielding feeling as if he was straddling heaven and earth.

All of a sudden, she came to a realization. The youthful Long Yeyue pushed him away abruptly and swung her right hand at lightning speed.

“Smack!” The slap was extremely strong such that Chen Xinjie stumbled from the impact. A palm mark with slender fingers instantly appeared on his cheek.

Fire was spurting out from Long Yeyue’s eyes. “Who gave you permission to touch me?”

Chen Xinjie looked at her in a daze. It was precisely because he was pushed away that he could see her even more clearly.

“You look gorgeous.” At present, he appeared a little foolish with hardly an ounce of the Boundless Sea Douluo’s overbearingness.

Long Yeyue was stunned by his compliment. She was at a loss for words.

Chen Xinjie was looking at her in a daze too. Both of them gazed into the eyes of each other as faint light shadows flashed around their bodies one at a time. The strange scene of the Thought Concretization appeared occasionally to shatter rapidly once again.

At present, the Boundless Sea Douluo had awakened to reality. His facial expression was constantly changing with episodes of pain, excitement, and uncertainty at times. Yet, each time his eyes were fixed upon Long Yeyue, his gaze would soften with gentleness.

“Yeyue, do you know this? When I found out that Shrek Academy was destroyed by the Godkiller-rank fixed soul ammunition, I felt that everything was over. It’s only when one loses something that one realizes its importance. We’ve known each other for over a hundred years. For over a hundred years, we each have our own opinions. We can’t get along with one another. My goal is to have everything within my grasp. You acted the same when you were young. We were rash and unrestrained. We did everything we liked. Yet, being from Shrek Academy, its traditions changed you in the end. Your brashness gradually disappeared and you turned gentle like the rest of Shrek Academy’s students. I’ve always thought that destiny should be in our hands, while you thought that protection was more important than creation.”

“Our ideologies conflicted one another. I’d already decided to be the War God Hall’s successor at the time. I always thought that a man should be indomitable. Although I loved you very much at the time, I had my career to consider similarly. I’d planned on taking you to the War God Hall so you could be by my side. I was so conceited at the time that it was always from my point of view. I didn’t ever consider your views.”

“You were similarly firm in temperament that we had a fall out later on. Even though both of us tried to work things out, we would end up parting on bad terms each time. However, I know that you miss me. Otherwise, you won’t have remained single. On the other hand, how can I not feel the same in my heart too? No one else can replace you. I’m the Boundless Douluo Chen Xinjie, the current War God Hall’s Hall Master. If there’s a woman I wish to truly marry, there can only be one person, and her name is Long Yeyue.”

At this point, Chen Xinjie was obviously flustered. “We were both obstinate indeed. We upheld our respected positions in public as there was no way we would disgrace ourselves. There was no initiative to compromise with one another. I thought that it would be impossible for me to reach a compromise with you in my lifetime.”

“It wasn’t until that fateful day when I learned of the bad news. When I found out that Shrek Academy was gone and Shrek City was completely destroyed, you’d vanished too. I suddenly realized what a fool I was. All my persistence became meaningless when I heard of your sudden disappearance. It was only then that I learned that my persistence was nothing but a joke. If I wasn’t so hardheaded and had realized earlier, perhaps, we would both be living a happy life together.”

“It was a pity that I learned about it too late. I thought that you had passed on. I locked myself in a room for a long, long time. I thought about many things. Perhaps you won’t believe me, but I had just entered the Thought Concretization realm at the time. It was precisely because of my yearning for you that I managed to complete the critical step.”

“I truly didn’t expect you to be alive still. Nothing else can make me happier than seeing you alive and well. Yeyue, I don’t know why you’re looking for me, but there’s no need to tell me the reason. I only hope that you realize one thing. From now on, from the very moment I saw you again, all these, the War God Hall’s Hall Master, the Sea God Army’s regimental commander, the three army corps’ supreme commander, the Boundless Sea Douluo, are no longer important. I’ve only one identity now and that’s to be Long Yeyue’s man. I’ll be the man who’s willing to do anything for you. For you, I’m even willing to love the entire world. I’ll do anything you ask of me, even to take my life if you so wish.”

“I’ve lived all my life for someone else, and it’s been so long that I’ve lived with my obsession. I don’t know how many more years I can live but I can be sure that every second of my life in the future belongs to you alone and no one else. I’ll never go west if you ask me to head east.”

Long Yeyue’s eyes were all icy cold in the beginning as she listened to Chen Xinjie’s narration. When she first saw him, her emotions were impervious to desires and passions, but now, they began to waver and transform. However, her indomitable heart still upheld her dignity.

Anyhow, Long Yeyue’s expression gradually changed as she listened intently to every word spoken by Chen Xinjie in his emotionally-charged state. In her heart, she had least expected such feelings to be spewed from the mouth of an incomparably stubborn and unyielding man.
