Chapter 171 - 171

"So you're telling me that...i...had breathed my last before and that my precious baby is still alive and kicking?"Aarti's eyes widened her eyes in disbelief.

Marabelle slowly nodded.

"Then..where are they now?"Aarti asked again.

"Em..."Marabelle couldn't continue her words because the roar of an unknown beast was heard.

"W...what's that? I hope it isn't a lion"Aarti said with a shaky tone of voice indicating her fright as she quickly got up from the ground along with Marabelle.

"Like i said earlier,this is a different world and dimension.The roar just now..may not necessarily be from a lion.It could be..."

ROAR!

Hearing this roar again,Aarti and Marabelle started to run. They didn't care where they were going. They kept running as the roaring animal drew close.

"Theresa...save your mum.Save your best friend"Marabelle yelled.

"Stop shouting..."scolded Aarti.

"Sorry Aunty! I'm getting tired. Really tired"

"But i'm not tired at all. It feels quite strange" Aarti said.

ROAR!ROAR! ROAR!

"Run" Aarti yelled and they kept running not knowing that by this time...they were nearing a cliff.

***********

Long Ren put his sword back into his space ring and wiped off the bloodstains on his face.

Beneath him was a black wolf with shiny fur.

Her red eyes that used to shine brightly were now dim.

"You win. You've taken my cultivation. You can now go. You've taken your revenge. You can now go" the wolf said with difficulty.

"Cao Wei, we're even now. I won't go further than this. Live well. If fate may have it, let's meet again and i promise to treat you to stinky tofu that you like."Long Ren said insincerely.

"I am dying and lonely all my life. You are no longer the powerful demon lord Long Ren. You are just a level 1 beginner realm practitioner. You will not have peace either. Your tail and fox ears will never go when you turn human.You will become blind..you..will" she couldn't continue her words which ere actually curses.

Long Ren chopped off her head and tossed it far away.

Her wolf headless body immediately turned to ash and a strong wind blew them away.

Long Ren spat out blood and turned to look at the scenery that he'd ignored for so long because of the fight with the deceased Cao Wei.

The trees surrounding him ere still unharmed even after the fierce battle with Cao Wei.

Realizing this he smiled.

"Lu Wei,am i not laughable? I rejected you...because i thought you were too weak.But now look,i'm even worse than you.I have lost everything.I lost my cultivation achievments,my dignity,my prestige and my mistress.I am so useless"Long Ren said in a whisper as tears flowed down his eyes.

"I have finally defeated Cao Wei even at my weakest point but i had to lose my green fire and mermaid fire that my mom gifted to me before she died. I have faioled my family.I have failed myself.If thhis is my retribution for killing so many people at the forbidden mountain, then I'll accept it. But i know within my heart that... i was just fighting for my right to live freely."Long Ren then sat on the ground filled with grasses and a few thorns.

Back at Theresa's home...

"You guys really can fly in this world" exclaimed Clark.

"So can you take me to my wife and child now? I wanna see them" said Clark. He was eager to see his child and Aarti again.

"Okay. Hold my hand" said Ju Wei.

Clark obeyed.

"And what's next?"Clark asked.

His heart pounded at the thought that he was gonna fly in midair ith this unknown powerful spirit.

"Nothing."Ju Wei said and they both disappeared from the living room.

Now the house had no occupants.

Meanwhile back at the forbidden mountain, Theresa had brought out her dagger after crying for a long while.

"Goodbye world" she muttered to herself and closed her eyes. She wanted to plunge the dagger into her chest when she felt the dagger fly out of her hands making her open her eyes immediately.

She scanned the area with her eyes but found no trace of a living being.

The dagger she held in her hand, some seconds ago as now on the floor broke into two.

"Who's there?" she asked loudly but no one answered her.

Theresa put on her guard as she rose up from the floor.

"Whos there?" she asked again, fear evident in her voice.
