Chapter 1157: Chapter 835: Do You Really Dislike Me That Much? (Part 2)

She couldn’t imagine how they survived during this time, perhaps like zombies, living on a sliver of belief that they could find her. So much so that upon seeing her, their first reaction was to think it was a hallucination, a dream born out of intense longing.

Shen Tang felt intense pain in her heart. Without saying a word, she raised her hand to hold his neck and lifted her head to kiss his lips.

The female’s lips were tender and passionate. She actively entangled with him, conveying her feelings and guilt to Jia Lan in this way, gradually calming his inner panic and fear, easing his restless heart.

Jia Lan also clearly confirmed that she was truly back and not an illusion of his imagination.

Jia Lan’s cool, jade-like cheeks turned crimson and his breath grew more rapid, filled with waves of longing, mixed with suppressed emotions, making his whole body tense and hot.

His large hand fell on her waist, taking control in his passion, wishing to draw the female into his very being.

"Mmm..." Shen Tang gradually found it hard to breathe, her eyes becoming more seductive and emotional, shimmering with a watery light.

Jia Lan only felt his body becoming even hotter, hardly able to hold back.

His entire being, every thought, was saying —

How much he missed her...

Both soul and body, driving him to madness with longing.

Liu Ye also arrived.

He was pale, as if from excessive blood loss, his clothes torn in places, stained with blood, indistinguishable as his or someone else’s.

From a distance, he saw the two embracing, his azure eyes contracted fiercely, his figure seemingly wavering, "You... you’re alive."

He thought Shen Tang had long died, never expecting to see her alive before him once more.

Clearly, he harbored deep hatred for this female who had deceived him multiple times, wishing to see her turned to dust, yet upon truly seeing her alive again, he felt a concealed, uncontrollable relief and a trace of inexplicable joy.

Liu Ye did not want to admit it, but he could not explain how, the moment he sensed her total disappearance, his heart was filled with countless pains, becoming empty as if having lost something important, leaving him distracted and absent-minded.

"What, are you disappointed that I’m alive?" Shen Tang said to him with sarcasm, "An evil can last for a thousand years. I’m surprised you’re still alive, quite the disappointment!"

Liu Ye’s expression turned dark. He averted his gaze, lightly furrowing his brow, appearing to be in pain and not engaging in further bickering with her.

Shen Tang sniffed, catching a whiff of the bloody smell from him, "You’re hurt, badly hurt."

Liu Ye said, "I don’t need your concern."

Shen Tang was infuriated hearing his tone. She had thought of caring for him, but it seemed that was unnecessary.

"I couldn’t care less about you, it would be best if you were dead."

"..."

Shen Tang turned her head to look at Jia Lan, lowering her voice to ask, "Are those wounds on him inflicted by you?"

Jia Lan shook his head, "He and I reconciled a long time ago. Now, Liu Ye no longer serves the Divine Hall; he temporarily joined forces with us to find your whereabouts."

Shen Tang was momentarily surprised, Liu Ye actually betrayed the Divine Hall?

No wonder the mutant beasts she encountered on the road didn’t attack them but instead were attacking the Divine Hall’s beastmen, as they were under Liu Ye’s control.

So, she had wrongly blamed him.

Recalling what she had just said, Shen Tang once again felt a bit guilty.

But the two had always clashed when meeting, making it hard for her to put her pride aside and apologize!

Jia Lan held Shen Tang in his embrace, both in a protective stance and with an underlying sense of possessiveness.

His gaze towards the merman youth across was still filled with vigilance.

Jia Lan and Liu Ye were, after all, split from one soul with two personalities, so they were intimately familiar with each other.

He could somewhat guess Liu Ye’s awkward feelings. He loved Shen Tang so much, Liu Ye couldn’t be unaffected, though he hid those feelings and refused to admit them.

But given that this guy had previously harmed Shen Tang, whether to protect the female or due to a romantic rivalry, Jia Lan wouldn’t allow this black-hearted guy to get close to Shen Tang.

"You two, stop dawdling, let Tangtang heal your injuries, or you’ll bleed out if you wait any longer!" Xiao Jin urged, filled with jealousy.

Shen Tang also snapped out of the joy and guilt from their reunion, quickly tending to Jia Lan’s injuries.

As for Liu Ye, since they had reconciled, she decided to let bygones be bygones.

Considering how he helped them today, she’d let it slide! Shen Tang also conveniently healed his wounds.

As she was about to leave, the man grabbed her wrist.

Xiao Jin and Jia Lan instantly went into combat mode, watching him cautiously, ready to pounce and tear him apart if he dared to act.

However, Shen Tang didn’t sense the old chill of murderous intent from Liu Ye. She tried to pull her hand away, but though the man had just recovered from his injuries, his grip was as strong as iron, impossible to shake off.

Raising her delicately arched eyebrows, she looked down at him in confusion, wondering what he was trying to do.

Liu Ye pursed his lips, his voice slightly hoarse, "....You’re alive, that’s good."

"Our grievances are not over. I won’t let you die so easily."

Like he was trying to explain, he released her hand after speaking.

Shen Tang just found this guy bizarre, even harder to understand than before, how baffling!

She twisted her reddened wrist, huffing coldly, "Rest assured, I’m not so easy to kill, I’ll definitely outlive you!"

Liu Ye asked, "Do you really dislike me that much?"

Glaring at him, Shen Tang said angrily, "It’s you who wanted to kill me, who locked me in an iron cage! The fact that I can talk to you calmly now is already quite charitable, isn’t it?"

The dog man is really ungrateful!

Hearing this, Xiao Jin clenched his fists tighter, bursting with anger, "How dare you lock her up? You’re asking for death!"

Jia Lan quickly stopped him, "Now’s not the time for settling scores, dealing with the current situation is more important."

Only then did Xiao Jin back down, but should it happen again, he’d definitely tear that smelly fish to pieces!

"By the way, where is Lu Xiao? I haven’t seen him," Shen Tang asked worriedly.

Liu Ye said, "I saw him on my way here, but he’s not in good shape...like he’s gone off the deep end."
