For fifty years, Yu Jie had always been very healthy.
She had never been sick, never needed dicine, nor had she ever had a fever or fainted.
But now, she was coughing up blood!
This was a first, and Ye Feng found it unacceptable. He quickly supported Yu Jie, his face full of concern.
Yu Jie gently caressed Ye Feng's still handso old face and said softly, "Brother Ye Feng, I can feel that I'm getting too old; I'm about to be gone."
"That's impossible, you're only in your sixties!"
Ye Feng clenched his teeth, gently stroking Yu Jie's face.
When he first t Yu Jie, she was only in her teens, still a naive young girl in the bloom of youth.
Fifty years had passed, and she was rely in her sixties.
How could she be at her life's end at such an age?
"Cough cough cough!"
Yu Jie coughed several tis, "Brother Ye Feng, thank you for being with all my life. If there's a next life, I... I will still get to know you and live with you..."
Hearing this, Ye Feng's eyes reddened.
Fifty years of daily companionship, even if everything before him was an illusion, was enough to move him.
He did not want to lose Yu Jie!
"You won't die!"
Ye Feng quickly summoned the Power of Reality.
After fifty years of arduous cultivation and occasional outings to hunt down malicious cultivators, his Power of Reality had reached sixty strands, which was quite substantial.
However, even when all of the Power of Reality was infused into Yu Jie's body, it still had no effect.
"How can this be?" Ye Feng's expression changed.
The invariably effective Power of Reality was unable to alter the reality of Yu Jie's impending demise!
"No!"
Ye Feng held Yu Jie tight, his voice hoarse with exertion.
Yu Jie gently stroked Ye Feng's cheek, her face under the mist filled with love.
Although the two had only spent a few decades together, not crossing the final threshold, in a certain sense, they had beco each other's most intimate companions.
Fifty years of being together day and night.
Fifty years of mutual respect.
Fifty years of relying on each other for comfort.
Such emotions had transcended everything!
"Brother Ye Feng, I'm truly lucky to have t you."
Yu Jie gently caressed Ye Feng's face, feeling her body deteriorate vastly, as though a force from between heaven and earth was ravaging her. Even descending Daluo Golden Immortals could not save her.
"eting you is my fortune, too."
Ye Feng held Yu Jie in his arms, his emotions complex and profound.
These fifty years!
Do you know how they passed by?!
These years of day and night companionship, mutual respect, had made him truly fall for, and even love, this girl whose face he could never fully see.
"It all started with appearance, got trapped in talent, and stayed true to character."
"Brother Ye Feng, although I like your handso and dashing appearance, I like your bravery and sense of responsibility even more, along with your warm shoulder and attractive profile..." she coughed.
Yu Jie looked at Ye Feng and spoke softly.
Her vision gradually blurred with tears until Ye Feng's figure in her eyes beca increasingly indistinct.
But as long as Ye Feng was here, she felt warmth in her heart.
Ye Feng did not speak.
He knew that Yu Jie had a lot more to say to him, so he just held her, unobstructed, letting her voice the words that had been sealed in her heart for fifty years.
"Brother Ye Feng."
"If there's a next life, I still want to accompany you for a lifeti, forever being a well-behaved little follower."
Yu Jie started to speak again.
Her voice beca weaker and weaker.
"It should be who follows you, but I will take good care of you, cherish you, and not let you suffer any grievances," Ye Feng softly stroked Yu Jie's face.
"Giggle giggle!" Yu Jie smiled joyfully, "Okay, if there's a next life, you still have to protect well!"
"I will!" Ye Feng nodded solemnly.
Thud thud thud!
At that mont, dull footsteps echoed in the valley, and stalwart figures surrounded the courtyard.
There was a Giant Bear over five ters tall.
There was the King Cobra as thick as a water bucket.
There was the Bee King leading millions of bees.
There was Big Yellow Dog with white whiskers.
Moreover, countless more figures were there, all animals that had lived in the valley with Yu Jie and Ye Feng for fifty years.
Fifty years had passed.
Almost all of them were still alive, and by relying on food imbued with the Power of Reality in the valley, they had transford themselves into Great Demons capable of dominating a region.
But, even knowing their own formidable power, they still lived freely in the valley.
Now, they all sensed that Yu Jie's aura was weakening.
"Whine whine whine!"
Big Yellow Dogs wept, knelt on the ground, their eyes scorching hot, tears streaming continuously.
"Don't be sad!"
Yu Jie coughed, stretching out her hand, gently stroking the heads of Big Yellow Dog, Wild Boar King, King Cobra, Wild Horse King, Giant Bear, and other animals.
"After I die, you all must stay with Ye Feng, and take care of this valley well. I don't want it to go to waste."
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Yu Jie's voice grew weaker.
She leaned on Ye Feng's shoulder, watching the fiery red sunset together, revealing an intoxicating smile.
"The setting sun is infinitely beautiful, but it heralds the onset of dusk."
"So say, to live, one should possess mories that are deeply etched into their hearts; that is truly being alive."
"Ye Feng, do you know?"
"Every day spent with you are the beautiful mories that I'll rember forever!"
"I have truly lived."
"Even if after death, everything turns into nothingness, I have no regrets because... I had you!"
At this, Yu Jie looked at Ye Feng, as if she was using her last bit of strength to rember his face.
"I believe that if one can live forever in the mory of their loved one, even in death, they're not really gone."
Hearing these words, Ye Feng shed two lines of hot tears.
Yu Jie wiped away the tears on Ye Feng's face and said softly:
"Ye Feng, please don't be sad."
"I... I really can't go on."
"Actually, Yu Jie has always had a wish. That is, before I die, could you kiss ?"
Ye Feng didn't waste any words.
Cradling Yu Jie's face, he kissed her just like that.
At that mont, heaven and earth shattered!
The entire world beca completely different, with howling gales, crashing waves, clouds scattering with the wind, and thunderous roars, shaking the entire world.
Dingling Ling!
A breeze ca by, causing the Purple Gold Bell hanging in front of the wooden hut to emit a crisp and pleasing sound.
Yu Jie's form gradually dissipated.
She transford into a radiant light, flowing from Ye Feng's arms, circulating above the courtyard, becoming the youthful figure she was when Ye Feng first saw her.
She was still the girl!
"Having you, Ye Feng, is so wonderful!"
With that, Yu Jie turned into a light rain, covering the whole world, prompting countless creatures to look up.
"No!"
Yu Jie's death filled Ye Feng with imnse sorrow, he howled up to the sky, causing the clouds to churn as if nurous furious dragons were venting their rage and unwillingness.
"Roar!"
The Great Demons in the valley all wailed to the sky, earth-shatteringly, causing cultivators everywhere to feel palpitations.
In the courtyard.
Ye Feng suddenly felt like sothing pricked his brain, and a stream of unfamiliar information flowed into his sea of consciousness.
It was the "Hand of Myriad Transformations" Middle Volu.
Moreover, Ye Feng's Power of Reality surged to a hundred strands in just a short ti.
With a wave of his hand, he could forcibly erase a mountain.
Such strength was terrifying!
But, Ye Feng felt not the slightest bit of joy.
He picked up Yu Jie's clothes left on the rattan chair, wrapped them in a despondent state with a wooden box, buried them in the valley, and set up a gravestone, inscribing the words "Yu Jie's Tomb".
Yu Jie left no corpse.
Ye Feng could only erect a cenotaph for her.
He sat in front of the tomb, leaning against Yu Jie's tombstone, tearfully gazing into the sky, recalling every mont spent with Yu Jie over these fifty years.
As he finished reliving the entire mory, his sea of consciousness bood, nearly all his Power of Reality inside was exhausted in an instant, as if exploding.
At this mont, Ye Feng felt a sense of enlightennt.
Two strange auras erged in his eyes, one green and one gray, signifying the vigorous vitality and the dying breath of life, respectively.
This was the Life and Death Law!
"If I could trade them to bring back Yu Jie, I wouldn't care even if it exhausted all the Law in my body."
Ye Feng whispered.
He pressed a hand against Yu Jie's tombstone, as if caressing her face, then looked up into the sky, only to see an incredibly beautiful face.
She was smiling down at him.
At that mont, Ye Feng finally saw Yu Jie's face.
But imdiately after, he felt a piercing pain in his head, and the image of Yu Jie beca blurry.
Even the mories started to fade.
Boom!
Just then, the sky filled with countless fireballs tearing through the firmant, plumting towards the world.
Fifty years were up.
The second tribulation had also co.
This was a heavenly calamity!
