Chapter 56: The Moon of Ancient Shines on Today’s People, Anger from the Thunder Clan
Swiftly, A-Li will have captured all the people of the Witch Clan.
Looking at the piles of meat before them, everyone’s eyes were filled with shock.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and said, “The flesh of the Thunder Beast is extremely delicious. Everyone should eat it as soon as possible.”
“However, there is something I need to tell you. The sense of smell in beasts is very acute.”
“Once you eat the flesh of the Thunder Beast, it will certainly be detected by other Thunder Beasts.”
“In other words, once this step is taken, there is no turning back.”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng looked at the people of the Witch Clan with a smiling gaze.
Ten days is a long time for them.
Time is enough for them to forget their past.
Dealing with the Thunder Clan is not a small matter. Chen Changsheng can allow no one to help him, but he absolutely does not allow anyone to betray him at a critical moment.
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, Elder Gu Li instantly understood the meaning.
Without any hesitation, Gu Li immediately said, “What are we waiting for? Let’s start roasting the meat!”
“This is a gift from the Divine Messenger.”
With Gu Li’s call, the people of the Witch Clan mobilized instantly.
Seeing that the Witch Clan had made its choice, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and turned away from the entrance of the cave.
…
On the mountain peak.
Chen Changsheng sat alone on the Giant Stone, looking at the moon in the sky.
At this moment, A-Man came over with a piece of roasted meat wrapped in clean leaves.
“Big Brother Changsheng, quickly try this, it’s just what I’ve baked.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng grinned and said, “Our A-Man still has a heart. Unlike that scoundrel A-Li.”
“He only cares about eating when he encounters good things.”
After praising A-Man, Chen Changsheng slowly ate the roasted meat.
A-Man supported her chin with both hands, her eyes full of happiness as she watched Chen Changsheng.
“Big Brother Changsheng, after solving the problem with the Thunder Beasts, what do you plan to do?”
“When I leave here, I’ll continue doing what I used to do!”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s intention to leave, although A-Man had expected it, she couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.
“Big Brother Changsheng, what is it that keeps you so preoccupied?”
“Nothing, I’m looking for someone.”
“She ran quite far, and even after spending nearly a hundred days, I haven’t found her yet. Who knows how much more time it will take.”
Upon hearing this, A-Man’s eyes instantly turned red.
“She’s a woman, right?”
“Yes.”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s affirmative answer, A-Man fell silent instantly.
After a long while, A-Man’s lips trembled as she forced out a bitter smile and said, “To make Big Brother Changsheng search for such a long time…”
“I bet Big Brother Changsheng must like her a lot.”
“Hahaha!”
Looking at those tear-filled eyes, Chen Changsheng immediately laughed and patted A-Man’s head.
“You young lady, at your age, why do you always think about these things.”
“Just because one keeps searching for a woman doesn’t mean they like her.”
Hearing this, A-Man’s eyes flashed with confusion.
“If it’s not love that cuts deep, then what could support Big Brother Changsheng to search for so long?”
“Love indeed makes people happy, but what keeps people going isn’t just love.”
“The person I’m looking for is someone entrusted to me by an old friend on their deathbed.”
“Therefore, I need to confirm her safety, even if she has already died, I want to bring her body back for burial.”
“It’s a promise, and also a way to cherish the past.”
Hearing this response, A-Man wiped away the tears welling up in her eyes and said.
“Big Brother Changsheng, can you tell me the story of the past?”
“Sure!”
Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and then began to recount the ordinary story of the past.
…
A gentle breeze blew, and the moon remained unchanged.
A-Man gritted her teeth tightly, glaring at Chen Changsheng with wide eyes.
“She likes you!”
“Yes.”
“But you rejected her!”
“That’s right.”
“I know everything, including Nian’s feelings for me.”
Upon hearing this, A-Man stood up in excitement.
“What about me?”
“Will you reject me just like you did her?”
Looking at A-Man’s red eyes, Chen Changsheng calmly replied, “Yes.”
“Why?”
“You’re not obsessed with cultivation, and you do everything according to your heart. If that’s the case, why do you keep rejecting again and again?”
“If you planned to reject from the beginning, why were you so kind to the people around you?”
“Why didn’t you make up your mind from the beginning?”
Hearing this question, Chen Changsheng did not answer immediately.
Instead, he raised his head to look at the moon in the sky: “People don’t see the ancient moon, but the moon once shone on the ancients.”
“There’s a saying that people only realize the value of something after they lose it.”
“So, if you knew in advance that something was destined to be lost, would you refrain from cherishing it?”
“That’s sophistry. How can people know what the future holds? Why do you think you will definitely lose it?”
“Why can’t you? You can predict the future too.”
“For example, your fellow tribesmen from the Witch Clan will gradually d*e, which is an unchangeable fact and a foreseeable future.”
Upon hearing this, A-Man was instantly stunned.
Although Chen Changsheng did not explicitly say anything, A-Man had already guessed the answer from his words.
Seeing A-Man trembling as she said, “Big Brother Changsheng, can you really see the future of everyone?”
“Yes.”
Receiving Chen Changsheng’s affirmation, A-Man slowly raised her hand and gently caressed Chen Changsheng’s face.
Looking at Chen Changsheng’s handsome and youthful face, A-Man felt heartache.
“After so long, your heart must be in pain, right?”
“Pain becomes numb with time, which is why I enjoy collecting remains so much.”
“Because collecting remains for the deceased allows me to keep their memories in my heart, and at the same time, it allows me to bury them in my heart.”
Listening to Chen Changsheng’s response, A-Man remained silent.
“To hold hands and grow old together is the greatest blessing for lovers.”
But if this blessing were placed on Big Brother Changsheng, it would be the most vicious curse in the world.
Watching the person you love grow old, d*e, and eventually turn into a handful of dust, is there anything crueler in the world?
…
In the gathering place of the Thunder Beasts.
“Rumble!”
A lightning bolt as thick as a bucket fiercely struck a metal mountain range, and a massive figure flew out from the mountain.
“Who!”
“Who killed my son!”
A huge Thunder Beast hovered in the air, and its scales were different from those of other Thunder Beasts; they glowed with a faint purple hue.
Boundless anger filled its heart because it sensed the loss of its offspring just now.
At this moment, other Thunder Beasts also flew out from the mountain range.
Looking at the surrounding clansmen, the purple Thunder Beast roared in anger, “My son, Lei Shan, the prodigy of the Thunder Clan, has fallen.”
“Whoever killed it, our Thunder Clan will make them pay with bl**d!”
With that, countless powerful roars soared into the clouds.
It was clear that the Thunder Clan intended to launch a full-scale attack.
