Chapter 1474: Chapter 159: The Rebirth of Mie Feng
Time ticked by, second by second. An hour later, Ah Dai finally restored thirty percent of his strength and slowly emerged from meditation. The damage to his meridians had mostly healed under Zhuo Yun’s Elf Magic. As he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Zhuo Yun, her entire body enveloped in a green glow. Smiling faintly, he said, "Sister, it’s done."
Seeing Ah Dai awake, Zhuo Yun was overjoyed and flapped her wings, flying to his side. She asked worriedly, "How do you feel? Is your body more comfortable now?"
Ah Dai nodded and said, "I’m fine now. Sister, what about the Master? Did you kill him?"
Zhuo Yun shook her head despondently and said, "That Master was far stronger than we expected. And he belongs to a race I’ve never encountered before. Those black wings looked so sinister!"
Upon hearing that the Master was still alive, Ah Dai’s heart sank immediately. He knew that if the Master escaped this time, it would be even harder to find him in the future. He sighed and said, "Forget it. As long as the Dark Forces continue their corruption on the continent, one day we’ll meet again. His sinful soul will end in my hands eventually. What about Mie Feng? I remember before I fainted, she stood in front of me. How is she now?" Thinking of Mie Feng’s forlorn gaze, Ah Dai’s heart trembled violently. Though he hadn’t accepted Mie Feng’s feelings, he absolutely didn’t want her to meet the same tragic fate as Bing did.
Zhuo Yun glanced to the side. "Xi Wen and Liao Wen are healing her right now. The situation is dire. Mie Feng’s injuries are extremely severe. I tried using Elf Magic to treat her, but since her cultivation is based on Dark Energy, my magic couldn’t take effect at all. Now, only the two teachers can help. Their True Qi can suppress the Dark Energy in her body completely and then heal her. Let’s hope that heaven will bless her and allow her to survive."
Ah Dai’s heart tightened as he floated up, landing next to Mie Feng. Xi Wen and Liao Wen had their eyes closed with solemn expressions, clearly indicating Mie Feng’s dire condition. Ah Dai was about to step forward to assist the two elders when Xi Wen and Liao Wen simultaneously withdrew their powers. A faint white glow returned to their bodies, and they both opened their eyes. Mie Feng groaned softly, spitting out a mouthful of purple-black blood. Ah Dai was startled and rushed to cradle her delicate frame, using his own energy to probe the condition within her body.
Xi Wen sighed and said, "I’m sorry, Ah Dai. We’ve done everything we could. This girl’s injuries are far too serious, especially the main meridians connecting her heart; they are severed or barely connected. Although we have managed to stabilize other areas and reposition her organs, those meridians are simply too fragile for us to intervene. Otherwise, she might not even regain consciousness. As it stands now, she could die at any moment. If you have anything to say to her, say it now. She’s truly foolish—back then, even without her shielding you, with the Giant Spirit Snake Armor and your own defense capabilities, you wouldn’t have been harmed. I believe this girl deliberately sought death."
Xi Wen’s words stunned Ah Dai to his core. His True Qi had assessed Mie Feng’s condition just as Xi Wen said—she was indeed on the edge of death. A sorrow as sharp as lightning surged through his mind, and his entire body trembled violently. Tears streamed uncontrollably down his face. A crystal-clear tear fell onto Mie Feng’s cheek, embedding itself in her pale skin like a jewel. The jewel slowly slid into Mie Feng’s mouth. Her lips trembled slightly, her long eyelashes quivered faintly, and her deep black eyes slowly opened, a layer of haze clouding her pupils as her gaze locked vacantly onto Ah Dai. Another tear fell onto her face, a faint glimmer rising in her dull eyes. Weakly, she said, "Ah Dai, you cried. Why are you crying?"
Ah Dai cradled Mie Feng’s fragile frame tightly, his lips trembling. "Why? Why are you so foolish to shield me? Could it be... you were seeking death deliberately? Why would you do this?"
Mie Feng weakly lifted her right hand, wiping away the tears on Ah Dai’s face. She said gently, "Don’t cry, Ah Dai. Please don’t cry, alright? I don’t want to see you sad. Actually, I’ve long thought of dying. When I agreed to poison you for the Assassin’s Guild President, I had already decided to sacrifice my life. For my family’s matters, for poisoning you—I know you must hate me. Truthfully, when you drank the Unholy Holy Water and left, I thought the only place we’d meet again would be in Hell. I wronged you. I thought, if I could see you there again, I would devote my whole self to making amends. So after you left, I chose to commit suicide, thinking I’d reach Hell first to wait for you. But Mie Yi stopped me and brought me to the Headquarters of the Assassin’s Guild to provoke you. That beast of a Master has slaughtered everyone in our Thieves Guild. You haven’t killed him yet, have you? Promise me, after I die, you must kill him to avenge our entire Thieves Guild."
Ah Dai held Mie Feng tightly, choking on his sobs. "Mie Feng, I... I’ve never blamed you. Even if you truly meant to harm me, I wouldn’t blame you. Back in Tai Ang City, without you, I would’ve already died. Your kindness toward me outweighs any wrong, not to mention, you did it for your family. The destruction of the Thieves Guild—I’m inescapably responsible for that. You absolutely cannot die! We need to fight together to kill the Master, to avenge Uncle Owen and your Thieves Guild. Promise me, don’t die, please!"
