Dragon-Marked War God

Layer after layer, the red cocoon wrapped Dragon Shisan inside, and Jiang Chen grew more and more curious. This change in Dragon Shisan made the vitality in his body incredibly vigorous, more than ten or even a hundred times stronger than before. And all of this was because of Bai Yun.

Bai Yun’s little hands rested quietly on Dragon Shisan’s body. Waves of dazzling essence shone forth in flowing, brilliant colors. Dragon Shisan had become incredibly fortunate, at least in Jiang Chen’s eyes.

Jiang Chen could see that Bai Yun had transferred nearly all of the origin in her body to Dragon Shisan. The harm to her was undoubtedly enormous, but the benefit to Dragon Shisan was also immeasurable. Bai Yun was so selfless and so deeply devoted that even Jiang Chen couldn’t help looking at her with new eyes.

“This red cocoon has such powerful energy. I’ve never even heard of anything like it. Brother Jiang, what exactly is this?”

Xue Liang watched the scene with great shock and said in a low voice.

Jiang Chen shook his head and said:

“I’m not sure either, but from the looks of it, this red cocoon should benefit him greatly.”

Xue Liang nodded silently. There was no doubt about it. The violent energy and enormous origin power within this red cocoon left them all marveling. After Dragon Shisan absorbed this terrifying origin power, he was bound to undergo a complete transformation.

The red cocoon gradually transformed into wisps of purplish-red essence, countless threads of it, resonating with Dragon Shisan. In less than half an hour, his injuries had recovered by as much as eighty percent, but in the end he did not wake up so quickly.

Only when the red cocoon’s halo gradually faded did Bai Yun stagger back a step. Her little face was full of gravity, her eyes fixed intently on Dragon Shisan, full of reluctance and attachment.

“Black Soil, I’ll leave Brother Thirteen to you. I’ll be going first.”

Bai Yun said reluctantly, her heart full of unease and hesitation.

“Leaving in such a hurry? Aren’t you going to wait until he wakes up?”

Jiang Chen frowned and said.

Bai Yun shook her head.

“The person he probably least wants to see is me. I’d better not make myself unwelcome. I’ll just leave now. I hope he won’t curse at me the moment he lays eyes on me.”

Jiang Chen saw Bai Yun’s helplessness but didn’t understand why. He wanted to ask more, but Wu Ningzhu gave his hand a squeeze, signaling him not to ask any further.

“All right! Take care on your journey. If fate allows, we’ll meet again. I’ll thank you on Dragon Shisan’s behalf.”

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

“Thank you. I don’t regret meeting a friend like you at all. Goodbye.”

With that, Bai Yun turned and left. Her small, thin figure bore an enormous weight, which was truly heartbreaking.

One a peerless wonder, one flawless jade. One proud and self-assured, one longing in vain. One like the moon in the water lying upon a pagoda, one like a flower in a mirror, yearned for alone with a bitter heart. If you say there is no special bond, why did she meet him in this life? If you say there is a special bond, why must her heart’s wishes come to nothing in the end?

Bai Yun just left like that, without any attachments. But was the bond between them really severed just like this? In Jiang Chen’s view, Bai Yun had done everything she possibly could for Dragon Shisan. But he understood Dragon Shisan’s personality better than anyone. Whatever he believed was right in his heart, that was right, and no one could change his mind.

“When you were trapped in the Profound Connection Divine Palace, Dragon Shisan desperately wanted to go save you. But at that time, we had only just escaped and had no strength left to fight. Even if Dragon Shisan had gone back, it would have been seeking death. So Bai Yun took the chance to knock him out. When he woke up, he broke off with Bai Yun completely. In the end, it was because Dragon Shisan was so set on saving you that things turned out like this. Bai Yun meant well, but in Dragon Shisan’s eyes, it was deliberately getting in his way. Maybe he understands it very well in his own heart too, but he still feels a deep hatred toward Bai Yun. If you had died, perhaps he would have placed all of his hatred on Bai Yun.”

Wu Ningzhu said in a low voice. All of this had started because of Jiang Chen, but it couldn’t be blamed on Jiang Chen. None of them were in the wrong, including Dragon Shisan and Bai Yun. The only thing in the wrong was this battle. In the end they had won, but the price they paid was not small. That Jiang Chen had been able to come back safely was their greatest comfort.

“In the end, it all started because of me. Heh.”

Jiang Chen sighed with a bitter smile.

“If you hadn’t turned the tide, we would have died in the Profound Connection Divine Palace long ago. Why blame yourself?”

Xue Liang said. Now that Jiang Chen and Dragon Shisan had returned safely, it was time for them to leave too. The world was big, and in the end he had to rely on his own abilities to make his way through it.

“I’m going to try my luck in the Central Region Divine Land. Jiang Chen, I’ll wait for you in the Central Region. I hope you won’t disappoint me. When we meet again, I will definitely have a showdown with you.”

Xue Liang said with conviction. That pride and self-confidence were also what Jiang Chen admired most.

“It’s a deal!”

Xue Liang and Bing Yun left. At this moment, the red cocoon on Dragon Shisan had completely turned into waves of halo light, which finally merged into his body.

Bai Yun had left just like that, but Jiang Chen was greatly shocked and astonished by her background. Her origin Qi was no less than his own Myriad Qi Body, and the way it healed injuries left Jiang Chen marveling.

When Dragon Shisan had merged all of the halo light the red cocoon had turned into with his body, he finally slowly opened his eyes. His eyes gleamed with an extraordinary light. His strength had recovered, and compared to before, it seemed even more refined and terrifying. There was an extremely powerful origin Qi in his body that Dragon Shisan had not yet fully absorbed, but Dragon Shisan knew this origin Qi was Bai Yun’s. When he had been injured before, she had saved him with this method too. But this time his injuries had been even more severe, and that he was able to wake so quickly, with his injuries completely gone without a trace, was entirely thanks to this origin Qi he had not yet fully digested.

This origin Qi was endless and ever-renewing, bringing Dragon Shisan a tremendous gain. All of it came from Bai Yun.

“Little Chen!”

Dragon Shisan’s eyes lit up as he looked at Jiang Chen, Wu Ningzhu, Yan Qingcheng and the others.

“Dead monkey, you’re finally awake.”

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

“She saved me?”

Dragon Shisan’s expression shifted.

“To save you, she gave you ninety percent of the origin Qi in her body. You shouldn’t blame her.”

Jiang Chen said.

“I don’t like other people controlling whether I live or die, especially when she even knocked me out.”

Dragon Shisan said with a frown.

“This whole thing started because of me, and that’s why you hate her so much. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Bai Yun gave up a lot for you.”

“It has nothing to do with you. There was never any real bond between her and me in the first place.”

Dragon Shisan gazed intently into the distance. Jiang Chen knew this guy was simply too stubborn. If it had been him, he might not have done any better. If Dragon Shisan were trapped, Jiang Chen would absolutely not allow anyone to knock him out either. But the circumstances had been extraordinary, and the two couldn’t be compared.

“Her kindness, if I get the chance, I’ll repay it sooner or later.”

Dragon Shisan said stubbornly. Everyone had their own choices to make. Jiang Chen couldn’t say much. None of them were wrong. It was just their personalities.
