Chapter 1716: Did I Transmigrate?
The middle-aged man who had been bawling his eyes out a second ago was now falling back with his eyes rolled over into the back of his head.
Dongfang Mengjie was given a fright and immediately stood up to steady him.
“What’s going on with you this time? This isn’t anemia; you barely have any blood left in your body!” Dongfang Mengjie was given another fright as she assessed Dongfang Zhuangshi’s condition.
Dongfang Zhuangshi lay in her warm embrace and inhaled her familiar scent as tears spilled down his face again. He rubbed his head into her warm and soft body, upon which he encountered a soft and bouncy ball.
Slap!
A loud slap reverberated throughout the entire clinic.
“You’re already in such an awful state, and you still won’t settle down?” Dongfang Mengjie glowered at him with a blush on her face.
Dongfang Zhuangshi felt the familiar searing pain on his face, and he was moved to the point of tears again.
This was the feeling that he had missed so much!
Furthermore, all of this was real!
After waiting for so long and dreaming about this countless times, his dream had finally come true!
“Alright, stop crying! Lie down.” Dongfang Mengjie carried him to one of the beds within the clinic before turning her curious eyes toward An Lin. “You are...”
“I am Dongfang Zhuangshi’s friend, An Lin.” An Lin smiled.
Even though this was the first time he was communicating with Dongfang Mengjie, he was already extremely familiar with her from experiencing Dongfang Zhuangshi’s memories. As such, it was quite a strange feeling talking to her as if they were strangers.
“Hello, Mr. An Lin.” A warm smile appeared on Dongfang Mengjie’s face. “How did Dongfang Zhuangshi become like this?”
An Lin blinked.
Was she serious? He had just burned through almost all of his blood essence to save her!
An Lin was wondering if he should tell the truth. Perhaps it would be more touching if Dongfang Zhuangshi told the story in person?
Actually, wouldn’t it make things more authentic if a bystander told the story?
“Dongfang Zhuangshi became like this because of you,” An Lin said with a serious expression.
“Because of me?” Dongfang Mengjie’s eyes widened. “How?”
“You’ve already died once, and in order to save you, Dongfang Zhuangshi expended countless years and almost gave his life many times before bringing you back to life,” An Lin continued.
Dongfang Mengjie was astonished.
“Which mental asylum did you escape from?”
An Lin: “...”
He couldn’t blame her for having such a reaction. She had been here sorting medicine this entire time, and to her, Dongfang Zhuangshi had only been away for a very short period of time. How had countless years passed already?
Things like the power of time were far beyond her realm of understanding.
This was like if you were having a meal and then your friend suddenly came up to you and told you that he had expended countless years and risked his life to save you. You would also treat them like an idiot.
“My apologies, that was rude. But... Mr. An Lin, are you really ok?” Dongfang Mengjie stared at An Lin as if she was trying to analyze whether he was mentally impaired from his expression.
An Lin heaved a faint sigh. “Stay with Dongfang Zhuangshi. He’ll tell you everything after he wakes up.”
Dongfang Zhuangshi had fainted from extreme blood deprivation, and even though he wore a ridiculously happy smile on his face, his condition was actually very bad, and he required meticulous care.
Dongfang Zhuangshi bowed again to express her gratitude before tending to Dongfang Zhuangshi.
An Lin made his way out of the clinic again.
He looked at the lively and bustling city before him, and he couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
This time, the city was finally alive.
An Lin raised his head to look up at the sun in the sky.
The fake sun had disappeared, and it was time to welcome the new sun.
Soon, someone wanted to make their way out of the city, only to be impeded by a massive enchantment barrier, upon which the entire city erupted into turmoil.
Why was there an enchantment barrier around the city?!
Alarms were raised, and the entire city was on high alert.
One powerful cultivator after another gathered to discuss strategy.
Some people were in despair and knelt down to the sky, asking whatever immortal had set up this enchantment barrier to spare their lives and forgive them for whatever they had done wrong.
This was a massive enchantment barrier that enshrouded the entire city, so it would have been set up by an exceptionally powerful mighty figure. None of the cultivators stood a chance against a mighty figure of this caliber, and that mighty figure would decide whether they lived or died, which was why some of the cultivators were in such a state of panic.
Soon, a powerful man in a golden battle robe flew over to the center of the city before bowing respectfully to the sky and speaking a loud and clear voice, “I am City Lord Chen Dian. May I please ask why Senior has set up this enchantment barrier here? We will be happy to offer our services should they be required, so please spare us, Senior.”
An Lin was a little taken aback upon hearing this. The senior they were talking to was still crying in Dongfang Mengjie’s arms and had no time to respond to them.
However... this enchantment barrier seemed to have seriously petrified the cultivators within this city.
Cultivators were always very fearful toward power that was beyond them and incomprehensible to them, so this reaction made sense. An Lin hesitated momentarily before deciding against revealing himself.
So what if they were scared? They would settle down after a while.
The sky remained completely silent and that mysterious senior did not say anything. Chen Dian’s eyes were filled with despair upon seeing this.
This was most likely a senior who viewed them as mere ants.
Countless cultivators were extremely distressed, as if doomsday were coming.
Some of them were even embracing their family and friends to make final goodbyes.
An Lin felt like this made for some rather interesting viewing.
A few hours later.
Dongfang Zhuangshi woke up. He then recounted everything that had happened in the past however many years to Dongfang Mengjie.
This story had completely transcended beyond Dongfang Mengjie’s imagination, and she felt like she was listening to the most absurd fictional story. During the process, she interrupted Dongfang Zhuangshi many times in order to verify if he really wasn’t insane.
Dongfang Zhuangshi led Dongfang Mengjie out of the enchantment barrier.
Dongfang Mengjie exited the ancient city to find that she was situated above the clouds. The light of the setting sun had colored the sea of clouds below red, making for an extremely spectacular view.
This ancient city was situated on a floating continent!
“My city is really in the sky?” Dongfang Mengjie murmured in disbelief.
“It has been in the sky since a long time ago,” Dongfang Zhuangshi verified.
“Have tens of thousands of years really passed?” Dongfang Mengjie continued.
Dongfang Zhuangshi nodded with a serious expression. “That’s right. This world has changed a lot.”
“I’ve been sorting medicine here, and tens of thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye?” Dongfang Mengjie was still in disbelief. This was like the most absurd transmigration story. Tens of thousands of years had passed in the blink of an eye, as if she had been detached from the outside world.
An Lin could see why she was in so much shock. After all, it would be a very interesting experience for one’s flow of time to become disjointed from the absolute flow of time.
Dongfang Zhuangshi and Dongfang Mengjie expressed earnest gratitude toward An Lin again.
If it weren’t for An Lin, Dongfang Mengjie would already be dead right now.
An Lin was very elated to see the loving couple finally reunited. He had done another good deed, and he was feeling very good about himself as a result!
He bade them farewell gracefully before returning to the Four Nine Immortal Sect.
