The Demon God King's son-in-law
CHAPTER 287 | Unload
In Mushen city, Shen Long had arrived this time with Che Ti. The journey to the Hell Realm through the Gates of Hell was no easy feat, Shen Long did not want to invite Yun Mei to go there with him. So he asked He Ti to escort Yun Mei back to the Sword of Hope sect and guard her. Despite being heavy-hearted, Yun Mei could not resist Shen Long's desire to go to the mysterious western region.
On the way, Shen Long thought of seeing the state of his Sword of Hope sect in the mysterious western area raised by his wife Mu Rong.
“Mushen City?” Shen Long was stunned to recall in his memories that around that place was the residential area of the Western Land sect in the past. Since the joining of the Western Land sect into the Sword of Hope sect, Shen Long had only gone here a few times to visit his wife Mu Rong.
But a few hundred years later he did not expect that place would become the city of Mushen as it is today. The residents of Mushen city looked bustling and Shen Long looked at the residential gate of the Sword Hope sect in the distance as simple as ever but well maintained.
“It looks like the Sword of Hope sect in this place is not concerned with wealth, they take good care of and keep the sect name. I am proud of you Mu Rong who has educated your students well,” Shen Long muttered in his heart with a smile.
Shen Long invited Che Ti to continue the journey to where the Hell Gate formation was located. Halfway through the journey he saw a woman with a sad face walking from the Gates of Hell towards the city of Mushen. “What happened? That guy seems to know something.” Shen Long's heart felt that something was wrong with the woman.
He went down with Che Ti in front of the woman who turned out to be Fang Ma. Seeing two people suddenly appear down from the sky, making Fang Ma startled, he subconsciously retreated slowly.
“Sorry, because we surprised the lady,” Shen Long said while saluting Fang Ma who was followed by Che Ti. Che Ti stared in admiration at Shen Long, despite his high strength yet he was always courteous and humble to everyone.
Fang Ma narrowed his eyes looking at the humility of Shen Long who was looking at him with a gentle gaze. His heart was relieved, even though he did not know Shen Long yet by looking at her he felt a sense of comfort and peace.
“Nona, what has happened? Why does the lady look sad walking from that direction,” continued Shen Long while pointing towards the Gate of Hell. Fang Ma was stunned to hear the question from Shen Long. He didn't know whether to answer or not.
“Ah, forgive me for asking too many questions. Please miss, I brought a little supplies to enjoy. Let's sit down and tell a story,” Shen Long asked Che Ti to prepare supplies for them to enjoy and invited Fang Ma to sit down while enjoying the meal.
Fang Ma was a little hesitant at Shen Long's kindness and intended to reject it, but his stomach was unable to withstand the thirst and hunger that was visible from the dry skin of his lips.
He also dared himself to take the supplies and drinks given by Shen Long to him. Shen Long knew the doubt in Fang Ma's heart, he preceded himself to enjoy the food and drink which Che Ti then followed.
Fang Ma sighed at Shen Long's relaxed actions and then enjoyed the food and drink that Shen Long had given him. His heart felt relieved and calm enjoying that delicious meal. The feeling of his previously broken heart slowly became restored.
“My name is Fang Ma, it's okay. I'm happy to meet you guys,” said Fang Ma with a heart that is starting to improve.
Fang Ma was previously indeed a person who was happy to hang out to have many friends. But the events at the Gates of Hell made his heart unable to accept that reality. Shen Long's arrival dawned on him that there were still many other things he could do in his life. He must be tough to face the experience in the adventure he dreamed of long ago.
“Aah..” Fang Ma felt relieved after sighing, he tried to smile at Shen Long. “Thank you sir Shen for the food and drink,” Fang Ma said.
Shen Long was relieved to see Fang Ma's mood change. “Nona Fang, this area is not a place that is usually visited alone. Why is Miss alone in this place. Where did miss go?,” said Shen Long began to ask Fang Ma.
Fang Ma looked straight at the Gate of Hell with a dark face. “I didn't actually come alone. I came with a friend. However-“ Fang Ma did not continue his words. He felt heavy recalling the events of that day.
Hearing that, Shen Long became increasingly convinced that something had happened to Fang Ma related to the Gates of Hell. But seeing the look on Fang Ma's face, Shen Long did not want to force him to tell a story. He then made tea for himself and Fang Ma to make him calmer.
Che Ti did not understand why Shen Long was wasting time with the woman, not if he continued on his way to the Gates of Hell then he would know firsthand what had happened. “Your Majesty-“whispers to Shen Long.
Shen Long raised his hand cutting Che Ti's words. He understood what Che Ti had in mind, yet Che Ti did not know Shen Long felt an aura that felt close to him from Fang Ma's body. This is what attracted Shen Long's attention. He did not understand why from Fang Ma's body he felt an aura that felt close to him.
“Nona, I understand the feeling you are experiencing. Sometimes the load will feel light if we release it and Iklas accepts the situation,” Shen Long told Fang Ma as he sipped his tea.
Hearing Shen Long's words made Fang Ma's heart feel touched. He sighed. “True I have to take off this load, I was expecting too much on something outside my control.” Fang Ma sighed back.
Then he told Shen Long about the incident that happened at the Gate of Hell, and he felt relieved after telling that. It was as if the burden in his over-expecting mind had come off. Now he is ready to start his own adventure.
“So that Zen Luo was also lost in memory and was discovered by this woman and named Fang Zen,” Shen Long murmured in her heart after hearing what Fang Ma had told her. “It is only fitting that I feel an aura close to me, it seems that Zen Luo's aura is left on this woman's body.”
