Chapter 339: Chapter 73 Xuan Yue Leaves seclusion_1
Zhuo Yun shuddered, deeply moved by Yan Shi’s words. Indeed, if she had been the one violated, how would she face her lover and her clan? She too would unhesitatingly choose death. Yan Shi embraced Zhuo Yun again, gently whispering, "Cry. It will be better once you’ve cried. He’s already dead. His soul wouldn’t want to see you in such pain. Let him move on in peace."
Ah Dai tightly clenched his fists, a raging fire burning in his heart. The elf had committed suicide because of the abuse aimed at the silver lady. Why should such good elves have to suffer the cruelty of these evil people? He suddenly stood up. Yan Shi was startled and grabbed his shirt, saying, "Ah Dai, what are you doing?"
A cold voice seeped through Ah Dai’s clenched teeth, "I’m going to avenge the elf elder."
Ah Dai, whose murderous intent had just briefly subsided, was reignited at the death of the elf. He shrugged off Yan Shi’s grasp, intending to head back to Mica City.
"You stop right there!" Zhuo Yun’s shrill command came through.
Ah Dai froze, looking at Zhuo Yun in shock. Zhuo Yun, her face marked with tear streaks, looked tragically beautiful. Her voice trembled, but was firm and decisive, "No way. I have already lost my lover, do you want me to lose my brother too?"
Ah Dai looked at the dying elf and spat out bitterly, "Sister, let me go. Is the elf elder supposed to just die in vain? I want to use the foul soul of that vile woman to commemorate the elf elder before the Heavenly Spirit. Don’t worry, I will succeed."
Zhuo Yun shook her head vigorously, pain in her voice, "No, you can’t go. If you were absolutely sure, you would’ve killed the person who hurt him when you saved him. Your Sword of Hades is powerful, but did you forget everything that happened in Dark City? How could you, an innocent person, deal with those wicked people’s cunning ways? They’re probably waiting for you to fall into their trap. Ah Dai, listen to your sister, don’t go. I can’t bear the thought of grieving for you again. Do you know how worried we were when you went to Dark City to avenge Bing? You succeeded then, but can you guarantee success this time? Even the thousands of soldiers in Mica City would be a formidable opponent for you. Even if you do succeed, what next? He’s already dead and no amount of killing will bring him back."
Ah Dai quickly replied, "But sister ..."
Yan Shi interrupted Ah Dai, calmly saying, "Ah Dai, calm down first. We will avenge the elder elf, but first, tell us everything that happened in the castle, so we can figure out a plan together."
Ah Dai sighed dejectedly and recounted in detail everything that had happened when he entered the silver lady’s room. After listening to Ah Dai’s recount, Yan Shi gasped, "That wicked woman has harmed so many people. But, if even your reincarnation spell couldn’t harm her, it shows how powerful she is. Given what’s happened before, it’s likely as Zhuo Yun said. She’s setting a trap and waiting for you. Zhuo Yun is right, you can’t go. We need to leave here as soon as possible."
Ah Dai pounded the ground with his fist, and a loud boom resonated as a pit one meter in diameter suddenly formed on the ground, causing dirt to spray all around. He spat out bitterly, "So, did the elf elder die for nothing?"
Zhuo Yun rubbed the tears from her face, her pretty face unusually pale, "Right now, I’m not thinking about revenge, but about the other members of our tribe who were captured. The elf suffered this kind of torture. I fear they are too ... And knowing the valiant nature of our people, he might not be the last one to commit suicide."
A chill ran through everyone present. What Zhuo Yun said was right. If the other elves suffered similar treatment, it would be more than their minds could bear. Yan Shi firmly said, "Ah Dai, we put the idea of revenge aside for now. It’s more important to save our fellow elves. The sooner we save them, the greater their chance of survival. Once we rescue all the elves, we can still talk about revenge."
Ah Dai stood still, looking at the corpse of the elf, his heart filled with rising hatred. Zhuo Yun carefully placed the elf on the ground and stood up. She walked over to Ah Dai, took his hand, and choked out, "Little brother, listen to your big brother Yan Shi. I hope the rest of our tribe can be as fortunate as I am."
Ah Dai didn’t regret spending half a year in Tian Gang Mountain for training, if it weren’t for that time, they wouldn’t have been able to save a single elf. However, the death of the elf still left Ah Dai feeling depressed. Seeing Zhuo Yun’s pleading eyes, he solemnly nodded, "Alright, then let’s get going as soon as possible."
Zhuo Yun turned to look at the elf lying peacefully on the ground. Tears once again flowed from her eyes as she begged, "Ah Dai, there’s one thing I need to ask of you."
Ah Dai was taken aback and replied, "Sister, just say it. No matter what, I will agree."
Zhuo Yun took a deep breath and said, "Use the method you used to melt the ice before to cremate his body. Mold his ashes into a ball, and I will also carve his portrait. I want to keep him with me forever." Her mournful tone was filled with reluctance to part with the elder elf, causing Yan Shi to sigh in empathy.
Ah Dai silently nodded. He chanted a spell and used the Fireball Technique to cremate the elf’s body, then he gathered the ashes into a ball and gave it to Zhuo Yun.
