The Legend of the Dragon King - Chapter 1865

Chapter 1865: 1865

As she spoke, the Darkness Phoenix Leng Yucaipa raised her arms . Two purple-black swords of light formed in her hands and then thrust them straight at Leng Yaozhu .

Leng Yaozhu was furious and sad . She raised her arms similarly and formed two flaming swords to block her sister’s attack .

The four swords collided with one another . At that moment, Leng Yaozhu’s eyes filled with tears . They poured down her face and blurred her vision . Her heart ached so much that she was almost suffocating when she saw her sister standing so close to her .

Yes, she confessed her love to the Atlas Douluo Yun Ming in the past .

…

“Yun Ming . ” Leng Yaozhu looked at the man before her in a slight daze .

Ever since the first time she saw him, she was attracted to his indomitable, heroic quality . All this time, the Leng Clan was one of the largest of the famed soul master clans . It was also one of the most important in the Spirit Pagoda .

In fact, Leng Yaozhu grew up with someone constantly watching over her . She had displayed her amazing natural talent ever since she was born . Her martial soul awakened when she was six years old . It was revealed to be her clan’s martial soul, the Heavenly Phoenix . She even possessed Innate Full Soul Power . Furthermore, her martial soul evolved into Variant Fire which allowed her to possess extraordinary pyrokinetic abilities .

Her cultivation journey was smooth sailing . She had always been the best of her generation .

She had a younger sister, Leng Yulai, and the two of them were the most outstanding young soul masters in the clan . When Leng Yulai’s Heavenly Phoenix martial soul awakened, it evolved as well . It also had a beneficial variation, but Leng Yulai’s variant martial soul was of a dark attribute .

The clan did not mind the attribute . After all, the three greater attributes of light, darkness, and space were generally superior to the four elemental attributes of water, fire, earth, and wind .

For her part, Leng Yulai’s cultivation speed was equal to her sister’s . In fact, she later came close to overtaking her by relying on her dark attribute .

Thus, Leng Yulai was even more valued by the clan for a period of time . According to the Leng Clan’s rules, the future master of the clan would be chosen out of these sisters .

However, things changed with the passing of time . The siblings Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai had displayed incredible natural gifts . Leng Yulai had even surpassed her sister in certain areas . Nevertheless, the clan discovered that Leng Yulai was having some issues with her temperament due to her dark attribute .

In simpler terms, Leng Yulai’s temperament was extreme . Moreover, she was highly competitive . This was not necessarily a bad thing for a cultivator as it motivated a person to improve . Even so, there was a saying, ‘the stiffest tree is most easily cracked’ . This was especially true for the successor of a clan . Thus, when they were adults, Leng Yaozhu was identified as the clan’s successor and more resources would be granted to her . Afterward, Leng Yaozhu became the deputy Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda with the support and guidance of her clan . She held important positions in her life .

Leng Yaozhu loved Yun Ming for his indomitable will, heroic bearing, and righteousness . On the other hand, Leng Yulai loved him for his handsome looks and formidable abilities .

Leng Yulai had always been a straightforward person . She immediately began to brazenly pursue Yun Ming’s affection . However, Yun Ming did not like the way she was .

Not long after Leng Yulai was rejected by Yun Ming, Leng Yaozhu found an opportunity to meet with him at last .

“Hello . ” Yun Ming greeted Leng Yaozhu with a polite nod . He admired Leng Yaozhu very much . They were both the best soul masters of their generation . Additionally, Leng Yaozhu had a more reserved and mature temperament . She had managed the Leng Clan’s businesses ever since she became the clan’s successor, and they were thriving under her leadership .

She was completely different from her younger sister . Leng Yulai was rather introverted, yet also invasive . Leng Yaozhu was the exact opposite .

Yun Ming’s experience growing up was much more intriguing than theirs and he was slightly older than them . He admired the two girls to some extent, and perhaps, he even fancied them a little . However, there was still something missing for him to love either one of them . In any case, he already held someone else in his heart .

Leng Yaozhu looked at the man before her . She took a few deep breaths trying to gather her courage, yet she just could not utter the words .

“What’s going on? Your Excellency the Heavenly Phoenix, do you have something to say to me?” Yun Ming looked at her in confusion .

Leng Yaozhu instinctively replied, “What are your plans for the future?” She felt like she wanted to die when she heard herself asking the question . What sort of question was that?

Yun Ming smiled and answered, “I may be traveling far away for some time . They say ‘you can learn more by traveling a thousand miles than by reading a thousand books’ . I’m planning to travel to the Heaven Dou Continent and the Star Luo Continent as a part of my training . ”

Leng Yaozhu was startled . “Then, how long are you going to be gone?”

Yun Ming said, “No idea . Three years, maybe? Or even five years, I can’t say . I’m leaving in a few days . ”

Leng Yaozhu’s breathing quickened . She knew that she would not stand a chance again if she did not speak now .

She struggled to calm herself, but she was still swallowing the words on the tip of her tongue .

“Your Excellency the Heavenly Phoenix, what’s going on with you?” asked Yun Ming, perplexed .

Leng Yaozhu said with a forced smile, “You can call me Yaozhu . ”

Yun Ming was stunned for a moment, but he remained silent .

Leng Yaozhu lowered her head . She no longer had the courage to look into his eyes . “After all, I have liked you for so many years . Or more accurately, I’ve had a crush on you for such a long time . Perhaps, we don’t stand a chance to be with each other, but I don’t want you to be so distant with me either . ”

Yun Ming looked at her in astonishment . The Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, who he had always seen as a reserved and mature person, was acting like a guilty young girl .

“You…”

Leng Yaozhu finally mustered the courage after her previous statement . She raised her head once again and looked at Yun Ming . She said, “Yes, I like you . I’ve loved you for a very, very long time . Yun Ming, I do love you . Although I’m well aware that I shouldn’t have fallen for you given the relationship between our Spirit Pagoda and your academy . But how can we possibly control our feelings? I have already liked you for many years . Actually, I envy Yulai sometimes . At least, she is able to express her feelings and emotions well when I can’t . I don’t have the courage to express myself because I’m not only representing myself but my clan as well . ”

“If I don’t confess today, perhaps I won’t have another chance . Yes, I have loved you in secret all this time . Yun Ming, I…” At this point, streams of tears were pouring down her face .

All of a sudden, she took a step forward and threw herself into him . She wrapped her arms around him tightly as if she was afraid that he would struggle out of her grip . She was exerting herself to the best of her abilities .

Yun Ming was completely stunned . He wanted to shove her away, of course . At the same time, he could clearly feel that the woman, or the girl, hugging him was shivering all over . Though he could not accept her love, he did not want to hurt her either .

Yun Ming heaved a sigh . He stroked her long hair gently out of helplessness . He attempted to pacify her agitated emotions .

They were unaware that a pair of eyes that seemed to be spurting flames of rage was watching them closely from a distance .

When she saw Leng Yaozhu throw herself into Yun Ming, she clenched her teeth so hard that she almost crushed them .

She turned around abruptly and ran away like an insane person . She charged into the distance toward darkness…

That year, the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu was twenty-nine years old while the Darkness Phoenix Douluo Leng Yulai was twenty-seven years old .

Leng Yaozhu lost track of time before she finally managed to sober up from her emotional outburst . Her charming face was already blushing scarlet from embarrassment .

“It was worth it . Thank you for not pushing me away . ” She lowered her head while the flush from her face reached all the way to her neck . She felt a warmth and stability that she had never felt before . She could not tell if time was flying past or standing still . She was the pillar of her clan, yet she felt like she found her own pillar in that moment .

It was worth it . She felt like her years of unrequited love were worth it . Although she wanted far more than what she had acquired, she had managed to regain her senses .
