Chapter 1665: Contentment

the greatsword was about to cleave Jiang Yun in two, the blade suddenly veered slightly to the side.With the wind of the sword whistling past, this blade did not cleave through Ginger Cloud's head, b...Although the moon was like fire and she couldn't see anything, when she heard that long howl, her eyes widened in effort to see through the swarm of bees beyond the shield and further into the distance.

This howl, to her ears, was all too familiar, and the owner of this howl was the one she yearned for day and night.

Although she had fantasized many times about the owner of the howl suddenly appearing before her, now that the fantasy had become reality, she couldn't, or rather, didn't dare to believe it.

She suspected that she was hallucinating because she was near death.

However, as if to dispel her doubts, immediately afterward, a second howl echoed.

Moreover, this time the howl's location seemed noticeably closer than before!

Yue Ruhu's body trembled uncontrollably. A complex expression appeared on her pale face, and she muttered, "Really, it's really him!"

He came, he came!

"Was he here to save me"

At this moment, within the eyes of the fiery moon that had dilated to their limit, tears slowly slid down.

Back then, when she lost her Moon Spirit Fire and was harshly reprimanded by her father upon returning to the clan, she didn't cry; later, when she learned that she had violated the clan's taboos and would be sent to the Outer Battlefield, she still didn't cry; even after truly entering the Outer Battlefield, enduring the harsh environment and struggling to survive amidst unimaginable hardships and dangers she had never encountered before, she still didn't cry; even just now, when she was closing her eyes waiting for death, she remained unmoved!

But now, when her own hopes have become reality, and the person she had been thinking about was actually about to come into her life, she could no longer control her tears and cried out happily.

As the Saintess of the Yue Ling clan and the daughter of the clan leader, Yue Ruhuo had never suffered any grievances from childhood to adulthood. This made her personality carefree and trusting towards others.

It's a pity that while her status undoubtedly made her first half of life far happier than most, in reality, outsiders were completely oblivious to the fact that the title of saintess also brought with it endless constraints.

The Moon Spirit Clan venerates the Moon Spirit Fire.

Within their clan, there burns an ancient and everlasting fire of the Moon Spirit.

It is said that their ancestors, upon encountering a group of lunar spirit fires, had their destinies altered and embarked on the path of cultivation. This led to the ever-increasing strength of the entire Moon Spirit clan.

Every member of the Yue Ling clan who wants to embark on the path of cultivation, the only way is to worship the sacred fire and borrow its power to imprint the Yue Ling mark between their eyebrows. This allows them to possess the Yue Ling fire.

Therefore, the Yue Ling Clan venerates this flame as a sacred fire.

As one can imagine, the entire Spirit Moon clan held great reverence and worship for this sacred flame.

The sacred fire is the most important thing to the Moon Spirit race, it is the root of their existence.

But as time passed, the holy flame gradually showed signs of fading.

In order to better protect the sacred fire and allow it to burn forever, the Moon Spirit Clan made a decision.

Every generation, a suitable woman must be chosen to serve as a vessel, with the Moon Spirit Fire being stored within her body.

This woman, came to be known as the Saintess of the Yue Ling Clan!

By the time Yue Ruhuo was born, she had already been chosen to be the Saintess and the sacred fire was enshrined within her body.

It's a pity that Yue Ru Huo's body seems unable to adapt to this holy fire. This has led to an ailment within her that is always present, even threatening her life and the holy fire itself.

In order to save his daughter and keep the Sacred Fire burning, Yue Zun began traveling with Yue Ru Huo to seek medical treatment from various doctors.

Until the Moon Lord went to the Dao Domain and found Dan Daozi.

Although Dan Daozi truly cured Yue Ruhuo's illness, he also made Yue Ruhuo acquainted with Jiang Yun!

At first, Yue Ruhuo had no good feelings for Ginger Cloud.

In her heart, Ginger Cloud was merely her savior.

But she never expected that not long after, she would be saved by Jiang Yun again!

And that time when Jiang Yun came to their rescue, they almost got close enough to touch. This also caused Yue Rhuhuo's feelings for Jiang Yun to change drastically, and she would often find herself thinking about him.

As a saintess, before she relinquished her title and surrendered the sacred fire within her, she was forbidden from having romantic feelings or physical intimacy with anyone.

...While many men both inside and outside the tribe had affections for her, under the protection of the tribal members and her father, these men and she strictly maintained boundaries.

Therefore, Yue Ru Huo didn't know what she felt for Jiang Yun. She just thought she was repaying Jiang Yun's life-saving grace.

Later, when she learned about the grand competition of Ask Dao Heaven and knew Jiang Yun's true identity, she went to Ask Dao Sect to find an opportunity for repayment.

And when she saw that Jiang Yun was about to die, the feeling she had was as if her own life was coming to an end. So she rushed towards Jiang Yun without hesitation, using her lunar spirit fire, or rather, the sacred fire of the entire lunar spirit clan, to save him!

This is also why when she returned to the tribe, she was punished so severely!

To entrust the sacred fire of the clan to an outsider is a grave sin, an unforgivable transgression for the entire Moon Spirit Clan.

Even then, the Yue Ling clan's priest and elders, after extracting the last vestiges of her sacred fire, were prepared to kill her as a sacrifice to the holy flame.

Later, the shaman still remembered a record about the holy fire in their clan.

It is said that the Holy Fire of the Yue Ling Clan originated from the Out-of-Domain Battlefield. Therefore, in order to let Yue Ruhuo redeem her sins and hopefully find more Holy Fire, they sent her into the Out-of-Domain Battlefield.

For the punishment she received, Yue Ruhuo harbored not a shred of resentment and never regretted giving the Holy Fire to Jiang Yun.

And now, that third roar has sounded, allowing Yue Ruhuo to understand that her actions were not in vain. Jiang Yun must have come to save her.

It's a pity, looking at the shield that was already covered with countless cracks, she knew that there were still hundreds of terrifying monsters between her and Jiang Yun.

And perhaps, he himself would never wait for Ginger Cloud to appear.

Although she may not even get to see the last side of him, knowing that Jiang Yun is still alive and knowing that he risked his life to save her is enough to make Yue Rhuohuo feel content.

Her experiences on this battlefield outside of civilization had already given her the idea of giving up and letting herself die.

But for her own father, for being able to know about Ginger Cloud's news, she always persevered gritting her teeth.

But now, accompanied by the sense of fulfillment that was rising in her heart, she knew she could no longer hold on.

"Click click click!"

"Boom!"

Just at this moment, the shield's protective power, under the frenzied attack of the swarm, finally reached its limit and could no longer hold on. It shattered completely with a deafening roar.

Without the protection of her shield, Yue Ruhuo, who was already on the brink of death, immediately felt the terrifying gravity around her squeezing towards her body, causing another mouthful of blood to spurt from her mouth.

Her eyes, however, were not fixed on the swarm of bees charging towards her. Instead, through the gaps between the over a dozen buzzing bees, she gazed longingly ahead, hoping to catch one last glimpse of that figure before she died!

"Boom!"

But before she could see the figure, a series of earth-shattering explosions suddenly erupted!
