Forsaken Immortals

Although it had merely been a few years, to the two of them, it was almost like a lifetime. So much had happened throughout the years, and especially Li Moyun\'s constant pursuit of strength had made every day a struggle for survival.

"I am finally here." As Bai Rouyun spoke, her hand lifted and gently caressed Li Moyun\'s face. She slid her finger across the wheat-colored skin on his forehead and smoothed out the wrinkles that seemed to have been created by constantly frowning.

Trailing down the side of his face, she reached the eyes that seemed to contain the entire universe; sparkling like the starry sky, and containing beautiful colors like the hazy faraway galaxies.

The eyes that had always been bursting with vigor were now filled with tender affection and pampering. The beauty within made Bai Rouyun lose her senses and drown in the clear emotions aimed towards her.

Even so, although they were filled with love, there was also a sharp edge at the very back. If he had been a wolf cub back in the lower realms, then he had grown into the wolf king after arriving at the Wushi Continent.

The eyes that had been full of youthful energy before were now more mature. They contained wisdom and knowledge that could only be gained after experiencing the many vicissitudes of life.

Only a few years had gone past for Bai Rouyun, but no one could know what Li Moyun had experienced after arriving at the Wushi Continent, and the only thing that had forced him to keep moving forward was the thought of reuniting with the woman in front of him.

She, who had arrived in his life as an accident, had stolen his heart and hooked away his soul. Such a fateful encounter had made him even more aware of her identity being special, and knowing that he had to protect her made him yearn for strength unlike before.

Now that his beloved was in his arms, Li Moyun finally felt alive again, and the unspeakable emotions could no longer be controlled as they were overflowing from his entire being.

"I missed you."

Li Moyun had said the exact same sentence earlier, but now, when he said it once more, his voice was more husky than before. The emotions he felt were overwhelming and he had to fight hard to control them, otherwise he, a grown man, would begin tearing up in the middle of the street.

The various emotions that were swirling within his mind were overwhelming and he leaned his head against the dainty hand that was still caressing his face. Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, he could see the joy and excitement that was hiding within her, but she too had been stagnant and unable to react in time to their sudden reunion.

"Let us go back to the inn." Bai Rouyun did not say more, but she slowly regained her senses. She did not dare to look into his eyes once more, as she already felt her cheeks heat up and her heart was trying to jump out of her chest.

She had always known that Li Moyun was her partner, and she had understood many things about life she did not know before while being by his side. However, the few years she had been training were not as dangerous as those Li Moyun had encountered, so when she noticed the clear emotions within his gaze, she was somewhat embarrassed. Even so, she felt sweet in her heart, and her lips could not help but curl into a smile.

Noticing her small actions, Li Moyun could not help but chuckle as he shook his head with amusement. Even so, he kept their hands clasped together and followed her back to the inn. They had a lot of things to talk about.

Although their reunion had taken place in the middle of the street, the many experts had no time to consider their emotions or situation, as they all wanted to focus on the future chances they might find within the Forgotten Forest.

Even so, a few people with extra focus on Bai Rouyun still paid extra attention, but their emotions were all different and while some were relieved, others were complicated.

These people belonged to various factions, and one group belonged to the Lingcao Pavilion, while the other was sent by Zhao Xiaozhou.

Although Zhao Xiaozhou had only met Bai Rouyun once, he still felt a strange attraction towards the young woman, but he also understood that he was not in a position to pursue her currently. Even so, he still wished to know if she was doing well, and thus he had asked his forces within the Forgotten City to keep an eye on her.

However, he would never have expected that what they found was not her inability to adjust to the upper realms, and that instead it was her husband that had been waiting for her to ascend.

While the majority of those walking on the streets were ordinary experts, none of them knew who Li Moyun was, but Zhao Xiaozhou was different from most. He was well aware of the identity of this young man who had appeared in the Dragon Clan before.

Although he was clearly a human, the dragons treated him as a noble member of their own race, and his ability had later made the entire Wushi Continent understand why he had gained such respect anywhere he went.
