Chapter 1265: Chang’e and the Goddess of
But what puzzled Isabella was that Zuan seemed completely oblivious to the melting of his flesh and blood, continuing on his way.
She couldn’t help but shout, “Brother Zu, Brother Zu!”
But no matter how she called, Zuan seemed oblivious.
It was as if Zuan had entered another dimension. Instead of walking on chains on a cliff, he appeared on the moon. A
biting cold chill filled the air, and aside from a nearly withered osmanthus tree, there was no sign of life.
In the distance, a deserted palace filled him with excitement. It was Guanghan Palace!
He had longed to see Chang’e again, the ancient mermaid queen, Gong Suyin. He hurried over, but found the door wouldn’t open.
“Suyin, Suyin!”
he could only knock and call.
After a long moment, a puzzled voice rang out from inside: “Who are you?”
Hearing that familiar voice, Zuan suddenly erupted in excitement: “Suyin, I’m Zuan!”
“Zuan?” The figure inside muttered his name, then shook their head after a moment. “I don’t remember.”
Zuan was stunned, but then quickly realized: “I’m sorry, Suyin, I know you’re angry with me, but I’ve been searching for a way back for years, but unfortunately, I couldn’t find it. Only now have I come to you.”
He was filled with guilt, and for a moment, he didn’t care how he got there.
Then the door opened, and a woman in palace attire emerged.
Her features were picturesque, her silk ribbons fluttering, a truly stunning sight. Zuan could no longer contain his excitement and rushed forward, attempting to embrace her.
Unfortunately, the woman dodged and dodged, her expression cold: “Young Master, respect yourself!”
“Suyin, it’s me!” Zuan was stunned.
“Suyin… You kept calling me Suyin just now. Young Master, I think you’ve got the wrong person. I’m not Suyin, I’m Chang’e,” the stunning woman said seriously, a flicker of doubt flashing across her brow. “But the name Suyin does sound familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere before.”
Zuan’s heart skipped a beat when she saw she didn’t seem to be pretending. “You’re Chang’e, and also the ancient mermaid Queen Gong Suyin…”
He then recounted the story of how they had traveled through time, how she had become the Saint of the Chang family, and how she was forced to consume the elixir of immortality and ascend to heaven, only to be trapped in Guanghan Palace.
“Interesting story…” The stunning woman nodded slightly.
Seeing that she was still calm, Zuan’s heart sank to the bottom: “This is not a story, this is what really happened between us.”
The stunning woman looked at him: “After you said that, I seem to vaguely remember something.”
“I remember that I have been waiting for someone all these years. Is that person you?”
Zuan couldn’t help but get excited: “Yes, you remember.”
“I do remember. I remember that the first thousand years were the most difficult. I heard the slightest movement outside countless times and thought it was you. But every time I opened the door, there was nothing outside and I was disappointed.”
“I’m sorry.”
“You don’t have to say sorry, these are all in the past.”
“…”
“The next ten thousand years were also difficult for me, but by then I would no longer rush to open the door if there was any movement outside, because I was afraid of being disappointed again.”
“After another hundred thousand years, I seemed to have lost my expectations, because I knew you would not come back, and I was just waiting out of instinct. At that time, even your appearance in my mind gradually began to blur. Even if I tried to paint your portrait, I could paint your whole body clearly, but I could never put pen to paper on your face.”
“Then three hundred thousand years passed. I forgot even waiting, or our past. I’d long since grown accustomed to life in Guanghan Palace.”
The stunning woman’s response sent a wave of despair through Zuan’s heart.
“Suyin, I’m sorry. It’s all because I came too late, and you’ve suffered so much.” Zuan was completely devastated. Three hundred thousand years—what a despairing time.
The stunning woman shook her head slightly. “You really don’t have to apologize. It’s over. I’ve long since grown accustomed to it. Time truly heals all wounds. When I recall those days, I no longer feel sadness or throbbing, only an endless peace.”
Zuan was about to say something, but the stunning woman had already turned and left. The palace gates began to slowly close. “Go now. That was just a childish relationship three hundred thousand years ago. I’ve experienced so much in my life. The few moments we spent together are nothing compared to three hundred thousand years. I no longer have any feelings for you. Please do as you please, young master.” The
moment the palace gates closed, Zuan felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Yet he couldn’t fault her at all. A love sworn in with deep affection, one that could withstand the wear and tear of three hundred thousand years. It
was all his fault for losing her, and for finding no way to reunite after all these years.
Yet, deep down, he refused to admit defeat and was about to enter Guanghan Palace to speak again.
But the next moment, the scene before him vanished. A dizzying moment passed, and he realized his surroundings were no longer the lifeless Guanghan Palace.
Instead, he found himself surrounded by birdsong, flowers blooming, and lush mountains and waters shrouded in mist.
Every blade of grass and tree on this mountain evoked a sense of familiarity.
A thought struck him: this was Wushan, Wushan.
He stumbled to the summit, gazing at the majestic and majestic Goddess Peak.
“You’re finally here,” a faint sigh echoed.
Goddess Peak seemed to come alive, turning and looking at him.
Zuan’s voice trembled, “Yaoji, is that you?”
“Have you forgotten me…” Goddess Peak’s voice grew resentful.
“No, I’m afraid you’ll forget me.” Zuan’s heart ached again as he thought of what had just happened in Guanghan Palace.
“How could I forget you? I’ve been waiting for you. It’s a pity I’ve become like this now. It’s really ugly.” Shennv Peak’s voice faded, and dark clouds suddenly appeared around the entire Wushan Mountains. A light rain began to fall, as if the goddess was weeping.
“Can’t you return to your human form?” Zuan’s voice trembled.
“It’s been too long. It seems like three hundred thousand years. I envy Chang’e. She took the elixir of immortality and has a long life. Unfortunately, I can’t live that long. Only by completely transforming into Shennv Peak can I persist until your arrival.”
“Unfortunately, too much time has passed. I can no longer maintain my spiritual intelligence. I will soon dissipate.” Shennv Peak’s voice was filled with regret.
“What!” Zuan had never expected their reunion to end like this. He cast the spell of Heaven and Earth, transforming himself into a gigantic figure, embracing the Goddess Peak in his arms, as if he had once held the Goddess of Wushan.
“Don’t be sad. I’m already very lucky. At the last moment, before fading, I finally waited for you.” Her voice was as soft and ethereal as it had been back then.
