Chapter 1155: Chapter 834: Bitter Tears Melt on Their Lips

The Divine Hall has now turned into a human Purgatory.

Smoke and flames of war are everywhere, the sounds of battle between armies are endless, and vast magnificent buildings have become ruins. The air is filled with the scent of war and blood.

The young Black Panther steps on the corpse of an Insect Clan member.

The Beastman clearly just died, eyes not yet closed in peace, with a large pool of blood spreading beneath him.

All around are many scattered and broken bodies, with flowing blood gathering into streams, dyeing the entire ground blood-red.

A crazed aura surged around the youth, his golden eyes blood-red, one of his arms still maintaining a Beastified form, black sharp claws dripping with fresh blood.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he sharply turned to look in a direction, his cold eyes like blades.

The female stood not far away, just as she was in his memory, wearing a black dress with her beautiful black hair simply tied up, revealing her slender white neck.

Her beautiful eyes were misty, filled with tears looking at him, as if about to burst into tears, with both bitterness and what seemed like tears of joy.

She stood there unstained by dust, gazing at him across a sea of corpses and blood, like an intruder who had accidentally stumbled into a battlefield, so out of place.

The Black Panther youth’s gaze grew increasingly blood-red, his steps seemed unsteady as he walked toward her, the frenzied aura around him surged more fiercely, causing fear in others.

Is it another illusion...

Or those damned impostors disguising themselves again...

Xiao Jin was almost losing his sanity amidst the endless slaughter.

He thought the female in front of him was yet another impostor sent by the Divine Hall.

Those fools couldn’t match him and sent many Spiritual System Beastmen, disguised as his inner weakness, to deceive and confuse him.

Shen Tang was his weak point, his inverse scale.

He wouldn’t allow those bastards to defile her, having killed countless impostors already.

But when the female looked at him with her misty eyes and ran over without hesitation, crying out, "Ah Jin, I miss you so much, I finally found you!"

His whole body suddenly froze, and his face turned vacant, his body trembled violently.

Xiao Jin’s energy leaked intensely, nearly losing control of his Beastification, yet in that moment, his Beastified hands instantly turned back to normal, running over to tightly embrace the female.

The way he held her, it was as if he wanted to embed her deeply into his flesh and blood, afraid she would vanish like a dream.

"Tangtang, my Tangtang..."

His hoarse voice could barely string together complete words as fervent, scorching kisses fell like waves.

He held her tightly, his long and sturdy arms as red as hot iron, bulging veins trembling, frantically kissing her lips like a pack of hungry wolves.

A faint taste of blood instantly spread between their lips, indistinguishable whose it was.

It seemed only through this profound pain could he feel her presence more clearly.

Xiao Jin’s sanity was bordering on madness; he could hardly distinguish reality from illusion, uncertain if he was truly insane again, just like before, perhaps envisioning Shen Tang once more.

But at this moment, even if it’s fake, he accepts it.

Better mad than heartbroken.

Shen Tang’s tears surged out; her lips were bitten and bleeding, yet she felt no pain now.

She raised her hand, embracing his waist, trying hard to respond to him.

She couldn’t speak, only respond to Xiao Jin in this way.

Fortunately, under the violent impact of emotions, the man soon regained his reason, the red in his eyes slowly faded, suddenly remembering and carefully released her, "Tangtang."

Seeing her lips swollen from his kisses, even bitten, with red blood seeping out, she looked more charming and pitiful.

His eyes filled with distress instantly, and with his blood-stained hands, he gently cupped her face, apologetically lowering his head to carefully lick her gently at the corner of her lips, "Sorry, I was reckless again and hurt you."

He restrained his impulse to kiss her further, his rough fingertips gently stroking her face, as if smoothing out flower marks, inadvertently smiling foolishly, hoarsely asking, "This time, I’m not dreaming, right?"

"Fool!" Shen Tang buried her face deep in his chest, lightly nodding, her murmurs tinged with sorrow, "It’s me, Ah Jin, it’s really me, I’ve come back to find you..."

"Sorry for coming back so late, making you search for me for so long..."

Under the shock of regaining what was lost, Xiao Jin could hardly speak complete words.

His reddened golden eyes also filled with mist, lifting her face to deeply kiss her again, pouring all his emotions into this kiss, as if only this way could make up for the months of despair and fear.

Shen Li, who was fighting against the Holy Seat, suddenly stopped his actions, the chaotic and violent killing intent around him softened for a moment.

He actually felt Shen Tang’s presence again.

Though the Blood Soul Pearl he left in her had shattered, it still retained a trace of energy, allowing him to sense her existence within a certain distance.

Months ago, Shen Tang suddenly disappeared, and Shen Li searched everywhere he could but couldn’t find a trace of her.

She disappeared from this world as if she had never existed, vanished without a trace.

After all this time, he felt her presence once more.

At this moment, his dead heart seemed to suddenly start beating again. Without a second thought, he quickly left the battlefield and turned to follow that presence.

"You dare to break into the Divine Hall, kill so many people, and commit the grave sin of insulting the Gods. Don’t think you can leave here alive!"

Zhuang He of the Three Holy Seats charged forward, wanting to continue the fight.

The aura around Shen Li suddenly surged, becoming more chilling and terrifying. Even Zhuang He felt fear in his heart, stunned, and was forced to take a few steps back.

Shen Li turned to look at him, no trace of a smile on his face, and his eyes seemed to contain the three feet of ice from the peak of the Snow Mountain.

With lips slightly parted, "Those who block me will die."

Zhuang He shouted angrily, "How dare you! Today, don’t think any of you will escape the Divine Hall. Your lives will all end here!"

Shen Li raised his hand and conjured a longbow, shooting an arrow through Zhuang He’s body.

"Ah—"

Zhuang He screamed in disbelief as his body was instantly engulfed in flames, turning to ashes.

After taking care of the pursuers, Shen Li followed the presence he sensed.

He stood not far away, watching the female who was embracing the Black Panther youth, his icy demeanor melting away like ice.

His gaze was fixed firmly on the female, even his breath seemed to pause. An endless tide of sourness and burning love surged through him, making his fox-like eyes turn even redder, his fingertips tremble slightly.

"Brother Li!"

Shen Tang saw him coming and rushed out from Xiao Jin’s embrace to hug Shen Li.

Xiao Jin had just barely had time to savor the sweetness with Shen Tang before the warm jade in his arms was gone. He glared resentfully at a certain fox, thinking, couldn’t this guy have come a bit later?

However, he understood, as a Beast Husband, the fear and worry Shen Li endured all this time was no less than his own. This guy was crazily protective of Shen Tang, making Xiao Jin feel inferior.

Xiao Jin no longer immaturely fought over her as he did in the past. As long as Shen Tang returned safely, nothing else mattered.

Shen Li looked down at the female in his arms, his alluring golden eyes turning red and moist. The person he’d missed endlessly was alive and back, right in his embrace.

He held her close, his chin resting in her hair, inhaling her familiar scent—so familiar, it seemed to calm his restless heart.

His eyes tinged with red, his voice was hoarse, "Why did it take you so long to come back? Did you forget your Brother Li doesn’t want you anymore?"

"Naughty Tangtang."

His voice was severely hoarse, lacking the soft seductiveness it once had. But there was no blame in his words, more like an intoxicating murmur, filled with deep longing.

Shen Tang’s tears fell like large beads, smearing across his chest, sobbing uncontrollably, "I’m sorry, it’s all my fault..."

"Back then, in a moment of crisis, Shu Kui chose to self-destruct and teleported me away. I returned to the Beast World Continent, tried many ways, and finally came back..."

She tried hard to explain to him that she never intended to abandon him.

Of course, Shen Li understood. He knew her sudden disappearance was not intentional. For her to find her way back, many things must have happened, many difficulties endured.

As long as he could see her, see that she was alright, he was more than satisfied.

Thousands of words were stuck in his throat, but only one phrase came out:

"I missed you so much."

Bitter tears blended with gentle yet intense kisses, merging into the warm, wet embrace of their lips.

"Promise me, don’t leave me again."

Shen Tang tasted the salty wetness and felt it was unbearably bitter.

Shen Li was always good at hiding his true emotions. Even when they had their falling out, she had never seen him like this.

His entire demeanor seemed tinged with fear and terror... so cautious, so filled with fear of losing her, desperate to hold on.

Actually, there was another time.

Only then, she hadn’t seen it.

That great battle was the most profoundly painful event for Shen Li.

The pain of losing a beloved was something he never wanted to experience a second time.

Shen Li took her hand and placed it on his heart.

Beneath bone and flesh, the once silent heart began to beat hot and powerfully again.

She was back.

His heart came alive again.
