He was so conceited that he would never resort to whispering in her ears to express his affection for her even when they were head over heels in love. She simply could not believe her ears. How could Chen Xinjie possibly declare his feelings for her with his kind of temperament? Was it truly him? Was he this person facing her?

Chen Xinjie watched her in a daze. He could not refrain himself from taking two steps in a rush to get closer to her. “Don’t you believe me? I’m sincere. My first thought when I found out that Shrek Academy was destroyed was to drop everything that I was doing. I vowed to love you wholeheartedly if ever I’m given the opportunity for a new lease of life. Yet, it’s not possible to be given a new life and get the chance to do things again. Just when I’ve given up all hope, heaven sent you my way. I’ve been given such a golden opportunity. I’ve already missed out a century, so I won’t miss it anymore regardless. Even if you’ve stopped loving me, I’ll still be by your side like a stickjaw. Hang on a moment. I’ll head back to the command post to hand over my tasks right now and resign from my position. Then, I’ll follow you wherever you go. Anything you wish to do, anywhere you wish to go, I’ll be at your side.”

Chen Xinjie turned around and left upon saying that.

Long Yeyue could not refrain herself at last. She called out subconsciously, “You! Stand there.”

Chen Xinjie immediately stopped walking. He turned around to look at her and suddenly realized. “That’s right. I can’t leave alone.” He returned to Long Yeyue’s side quickly and grabbed her hand. “Follow me. That way, I’ll never part with you anymore. I’ll stay with you no matter where we go.”

“Let go of me!” Long Yeyue flung Chen Xinjie’s hand away, slightly embarrassed. “How old are you now? When will you learn to write the word ‘shame’?”

Chen Xinjie laughed. “Now that you mentioned we’re old, what else is there to be ashamed of? I’ve wasted a hundred years. From the moment I got this figured, everything else didn’t matter. Do you still think that worldly affairs are capable of restricting us? I’m the Boundless Sea Douluo and you’re the Light Dark Douluo. Anyway, you can’t possibly ignore me. It’s beyond all doubt.”

Long Yeyue was at a loss for words.

She suddenly felt all the anger she had for Zang Xin completely disappear. There was even some gratitude.

If she had not come today, how could she ever meet Chen Xinjie who was now a completely different person? However, she just discovered she could not mention her objective now that she has heard his confession. She was unwilling to use this man who appeared rather sincere. She could not make use of him knowing his feelings.

She would rather he remained headstrong as before. Heck, she would even fight him if need be.

Yet, Chen Xinjie’s current state of mind made her feel at a loss. She did not know how to handle this man.

“I’m leaving.” Long Yeyue swayed her body once and her silhouette was already on a spot a thousand meters away.

“Where are you going?” Chen Xinjie was immediately anxious. In a flash, he hastily chased after her.

They were both powerhouses of the same rank. Long Yeyue was albeit a tad faster than him but there was not much difference between them.

“Yeyue, could it be that it’s still not enough? Please tell me. What should I do?” Chen Xinjie gestured in the air with his right hand and turned the entire sky blue. A massive gush of suction force filled the entire space and pulled at Long Yeyue’s silhouette.

“Leave. I don’t want to see you anymore.” Long Yeyue turned around and slapped the air with her right hand. At once, a deep dragon’s roar was heard. It was as if thousands of giant dragons emerged in the air and tore apart the suction force. She was about to flee into space.

A gigantic vortex appeared silently. The surging suction force warped those giant dragons. Chen Xinjie used his body to block Long Yeyue’s path in a flash. “Yeyue, how can I prove my love to you then?”

“It’s too late. It’s too late!” roared Long Yeyue at him in a rage all of a sudden.

“It’s been a hundred years. I’ve waited for a hundred years. What were you doing for the past hundred years? It’s already been a hundred years. I’m already a hundred years old, and I’m about to reach the end of my life. For a hundred years, I’ve been broken-hearted. Why do you choose to tell me this now? I don’t wish to waste my remaining life because of you. I hate you, Chen Xinjie. I regret knowing you truly. I’d not have suffered in sorrow for a hundred years if not for you. I would’ve found my happiness if not for you. Do you really think that the hatred of a hundred years can be soothed by your few loving words? I can tell you that I’ll never forgive you till eternity. Go back and become your War God Hall’s Hall Master!”

Long Yeyue’s eyes were brimming with tears. Her right hand was balled into a fist before she swung her fist abruptly. Two golden giant dragons together with a black giant dragon emerged behind her simultaneously. The gigantic dragons’ heads filled the air with booming roars. A tiny vortex condensed in front of the spot where Long Yeyue swung her fist. It was even more terrifying than a rank-9 fixed soul ammunition.

Chen Xinjie was stunned upon listening to her words.

Yes! It had been a hundred years. A hundred years had passed and they had lost too many. There were many things that they could never regain in the passing of a hundred years.

A wisp of a bitter smile emerged on his face soon after. The gigantic vortex underneath his body vanished, leaving only the sound of countless dragon roars lingering in his ears.

He did not make a move to resist Long Yeyue’s fist. On the contrary, he closed his eyes. She refused to forgive him in the end, and he did not know what else he could do to atone for his mistake. Even now, he was as impulsive as a young man. Since she refused to forgive him, he will use his life to show his sincerity. In any case, he had lost the will to live without her forgiveness.

Long Yeyue did not expect Chen Xinjie to brave her attack. Her Bipolar Explosion technique with the terrifying power of the Light Dark Holy Dragons had already reached his chest.

At this very moment, she saw a faint smile on his relaxed face. He was in a calm and composed state as he stood at the mercy of her thumping against his chest.

Long Yeyue was shocked. All her grievances turned into remorse. She suddenly gave out a muffled humph as she slapped her left hand against her right fist to nudge away the Bipolar Explosion’s attack. The violent explosion of light dark power dimmed even the sun in the sky. Chen Xinjie who had completely given up on defending himself was immediately blasted away by the remnant tremor.

“You b*stard!” Long Yeyue called out aloud. She swayed her body once before she fused into the void and vanished without a trace.

...

Tang Wulin sat on the rooftop of the hotel as he gazed into the distance. Tang Wulin showed concern in his eyes as he watched the light changes in the sky.

“Your Excellency, do you think that Elder Long and His Excellency, the Boundless Sea Douluo are fighting each other?”

The Amorous Douluo chuckled. “Of course not. If they’re truly fighting, then it won’t just be this little amount of force we’re seeing now. That’s nothing but the love between two Limit Douluos. You better get used to it. However, I’m prepared to go into hiding for a while. I’m almost done with the Darkness Phoenix. It shouldn’t be much of a problem even if Elder Long didn’t succeed.”

“Hmm?”

Tang Wulin looked toward him in puzzlement.

The Amorous Douluo shrugged. “We can only do an exchange. The Holy Spirit Cult will be assuming its responsibility for the previous attack while agreeing to a few of our terms and conditions. We’ll then release the Darkness Phoenix.”

“Release her? Your Excellency, what sort of terms are we imposing for a Hyper Douluo? It’s not easy for us to...”

“How about the Atlas Douluo’s soul? Moreover, it’s more than just that,” said Zang Xin softly.

Tang Wulin was shocked. He could not help asking, “What are you saying?”

The Amorous Douluo cracked into a smile. “Do you think that I’ll let out the Light Dark Douluo’s secret so easily if I’m not confident about this?”
