Chapter 1164: Embracing and Kissing Amid a Collapsing World

Chapter 1164 -842: Embracing and Kissing Amid a Collapsing World

Shen Tang’s eyes turned red, a thousand words in her heart, yet she choked up, unable to speak, as tears fell in large drops.

Xue Yinzhou looked at her eyes, filled with a rosy love and a hint of hidden anxiety, his heart ached as if pricked by countless needles, his voice hoarse to the extreme, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault for making you wait for me for so long.”

After months of slumber, the repressed longing and emotions erupted like a tidal wave in an instant.

His cold, white, slender hand threaded through her silky hair, gently holding her nape as a passionate kiss pressed in.

He skillfully pried open her lips, stealing her fragrance and sweetness.

The Snake Clan Beastman was always emotionally detached, cold and emotionless, yet at this moment, Xue Yinzhou’s kiss was so fiery and lingering, filled with passion.

Shen Tang closed her eyes, her breath also becoming emotional, her arms like soft vines wrapping around his broad, powerful shoulders.

The trace of doubt and uncertainty in her heart also completely vanished.

He was her Xue Yinzhou, her beloved partner.

Soft, broken murmurs whispered between their entangled lips,

“Yinzhou, it really is you… you haven’t forgotten me, I’m so happy, really so happy…”

“Where have you been all this time? You don’t know how worried I was about you… I was afraid you’d become someone else, even more afraid you’d never wake up again, that I’d never see you again…”

Shen Tang’s tears fell drop by drop onto Xue Yinzhou’s chest.

She held him so tightly, like an abandoned little beast, full of dependence, melting Xue Yinzhou’s heart into a spring pool, tender beyond words.

“It’s all my fault.” Xue Yinzhou breathed lightly, slightly loosening Shen Tang, resting his chin in her hair.

Shen Tang buried her face in his chest, his clothes soaked with tears, staining with one dark mark after another.

Xue Yinzhou gently lifted her face with his long, jade-like fingers, his deep, cool voice as gentle as water, “Tangtang, you might not know either… I was able to come back all because of you.”

Shen Tang looked up at him in a daze, her exquisite, beautiful face full of tears.

Looking at that face crying like a little cat, her pretty, enchanting eyes swollen with tears, long, curling lashes sticking damply to her eyelids, her lips kiss-swollen, slightly pouting, both pitiful and adorable.

Xue Yinzhou’s gaze deepened for a moment, the cool pads of his fingers brushed against her soft, moist lips, kissing away the tears at her eyes.

“Back then, as the Young Master of the Ghost Snake Clan, I lost the memories of Xue Yinzhou, forgot you, and lost my emotions. If it weren’t for your arrival, I might have truly been completely consumed by the Bone of Devouring, becoming ruthless and loveless.”

Xue Yinzhou looked deep into her eyes, the depths of his beautiful amethyst-colored eyes filled with endless affection, “It was your arrival that called back my memories, made me recall those gentle memories, and found what was most important, what I truly wanted to find.”

“Unfortunately, even recovering my memories, I still couldn’t break free from the control of the Tumor Gu, unable to truly control the Bone of Devouring.”

“That ruthless power kept penetrating my body, and one day, I would ultimately become the stranger you knew best, perhaps even hurt you.”

As he said this, Xue Yinzhou felt a wave of fear, a deep guilt etched on his cool, handsome face, “Later, you took me to find the Tree of Life, remolding my body, not only freeing me from the Tumor Gu’s control, but also purifying my bloodline to the most refined and pure.”

“Now, I’m the purest-blooded Ghost Snake in the entire Ghost Snake Clan history, even surpassing my forefathers, capable of truly controlling the Bone of Devouring, bringing it to submission, for my own use.”

Shen Tang also remembered those days when Xue Yinzhou turned into a snake egg—at the time, she didn’t know whether to be happy or sad, already prepared to raise him as her son!

Shen Tang broke into a smile amid her tears, pinching his face as she did with Xiao Xue in the past, “Yes, the reborn you would sweetly call me sister, so adorable! Not at all like when you were young.”

Shen Tang had entered Xue Yinzhou’s Spiritual Illusion Realm, knowing what Xue Yinzhou’s real childhood was like, solitary and extreme in nature.

The reborn Xiao Xue, though seemingly cold like most of the Snake Clan, was very cute and shy around her, no different from ordinary children.

Xue Yinzhou also remembered losing his memory, turning into a little snake, clinging to her as they slept together, calling her sister… His fair ears flushed slightly, feeling uncomfortable.

Those were beautiful memories, but for an adult male, somewhat embarrassing.

He was her male, wanting to protect her, wanting her to completely rely on him, hoping she didn’t truly treat him as Xiao Xue.

Xue Yinzhou looked at her and said seriously, “If you like children, we can have one.”

Shen Tang blushed, “Ahem~ What are you talking about?”

Xue Yinzhou took her hand, brought it to his face, lightly nuzzling it, “You promised me.”

Xue Yinzhou only had an intense craving for her in both body and soul, having no desire for the act of procreation itself.

But their child ought to be very much like “Xiao Xue.”

If they really did have a child in the future, she would like that child very much, and she could spend more time with him, giving him her favor.

Thinking of it this way, he rather liked children.

Of course, that’s all in the future.

Xue Yinzhou hoped their offspring would be born into a peaceful, happy world, not in the uncertainties of life and death of now.

Shen Tang held Xue Yinzhou, deeply inhaling his scent, yearningly saying, “Snort, then you fell asleep again and turned into a mass of black fog! At that time, I really didn’t know what to do, I thought you’d never come back.”

Xue Yinzhou knew he had been in a long period of chaos, with no awareness, completely submerged in slumber.

“My power was undergoing the final fusion with the Bone of Devouring, and though I could control it, true integration might take years, even longer.” Xue Yinzhou couldn’t control it, feeling extremely guilty.

As her Beast Husband, he should protect her, yet he disappeared for so long.

The fusion of the Bone of Devouring was painfully slow, and at the normal pace, who knew how long it would take for Xue Yinzhou to completely integrate.

Xue Yinzhou didn’t want to wake up to find Shen Tang no longer young, having children with another male… Perhaps she might have an accident, and he’d never see her again even upon awakening.

“Fortunately, it was the Blood Clan’s power that helped speed up the fusion, so I can appear before you now…”

Shen Tang was also filled with fear and kissed his chin, comforting him, “It’s all in the past, you’re awake, everything’s fine now, let’s not talk about it.”

Xue Yinzhou nodded with a soft smile, “Mm.”

Rebirth and reconstruction were akin to returning from a walk through hell, Xue Yinzhou glossed over it lightly—the pain and torment he endured goes without saying, yet in the subconscious, there was a strong obsession—a person was waiting for him, and he had to return to her side, even if it meant dying and becoming a wandering ghost.

As long as she loved him for a day, he would always be her Xue Yinzhou and never turn into someone else.

His revival and return were solely because of her.

If not for her, he would already have let himself sink into the endless darkness.

Xue Yinzhou was by nature silent and taciturn, not one to speak much, yet this time he spoke a lot, wanting her to know—his persistence, his attachment to her.

Her love would keep him steadfastly by her side, never to leave or abandon her in this life.

Crack—

The space shattered like a mirror, layer by layer peeling away, revealing the boundless void of darkness.

The two embraced and kissed in the collapsing world, with eyes only for each other, nothing could disturb them.

In the moment before the collapse, Xue Yinzhou transformed into a mist of black fog enveloping Shen Tang, disappearing through a crack.
