Chapter 458 Pain and Pride
Ling Menglu gently held Long Dangdang’s hand without speaking, but transmitted the sound through the spiritual crystal.
"Dangdang, are you okay? Since coming here, I can feel that your mood is a little low."
Long Dangdang also responded through voice transmission: "Don't worry, I'm fine. In an environment like the Kingdom of the Undead, your emotions will be affected to some extent."
Ling Menglu leaned her head on his shoulder, "Then you Can you tell me why you have been alienating me since you came back from the Kingdom of the Dead?"
Long Dangdang was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously: "No! How could I alienate you?"
Ling Menglu sighed and said: "You have to know that girls are very sensitive. In the past, when you saw me, your eyes would sometimes straighten. Although you covered it up very well, sometimes you would, His eyes would still drift towards me, looking at those shameful places. I just pretended not to know. We are still young and this is normal."
"Cough cough cough..." Long Dangdang coughed. Two sounds, which were not transmitted through sound transmission, immediately made the friends who were resting couldn't help but look over.
"It's okay, my throat suddenly felt itchy." Long Dangdang's expression was obviously a little stiff, but in the dark cave, everyone couldn't see clearly.
Ling Menglu couldn't help but chuckle, but she pressed her body closer to him, and continued to say through the sound transmission: "But, you changed after you came back from the kingdom of the dead last time. You concealed it very well, at least everyone I don't notice any changes in you, but I am different! I am your girlfriend, and I can clearly feel the difference in you. You no longer look at me with that obsessed look. You didn't take the initiative to hold my hand or kiss me, and you even seemed to be avoiding something deliberately. At the beginning, I thought you were in pain because of being caught in vain, and you couldn't care about it. But since you got it. After receiving certain recognition from the Divine Seal of Eternity and Creation, I can feel that your heart has calmed down and recovered. However, your attitude towards me has not recovered, and it is no different from you. Do you know? I feel so uncomfortable facing you like this. But I know and have confidence that you don’t like me anymore. You are deliberately avoiding me. Can you tell me why I am your girlfriend? , is also your cousin. Last time, you wanted to save your parents, abandoned me, and went alone. In fact, I was really angry. Even if it was dangerous, wouldn't I go with you? Kingdom of the Dead, you were so lost when you came back. I can't bear to blame you, but that doesn't mean I don't have resentment in my heart. But you are still alienating me. I don't know what you want to bear alone, but. Why can't you share it with me? Is there anything that you are unwilling to open your heart to?"
Long Dangdang was silent. He had indeed been trying hard to hide his distance from Ling Menglu. Because he didn't know what his future would be like, not because he was afraid of getting involved, but because he was afraid of falling into too deep a situation. If something happened to him, she wouldn't be able to bear it.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Ling Menglu snuggled closer to him, as if she wanted to rub her whole body into his. Silently feeling the changes in his breath, Ling Menglu said softly: "Dangdang , you are so tired. You are so tired now. You have been working hard all the time in the past six months. But we all have hope when we are alive, right? What happened to the Kingdom of the Undead, I can understand that the arrest of my aunt and uncle and Kong Kong was a big blow to you, but why not let you and I share the burden?”
Long Dangdang sighed and finally stretched out his hand, hugged her tightly, lowered his head, and pressed his forehead against her shoulder. Ling Menglu even felt his body shaking at this moment.
"Monroe, you should know that I have always been a strong person. Even if my parents were taken away, my heart is still strong. I didn't take you there because I knew, This was probably a near-death rescue, but even then, my heart didn't hesitate. As a child, it's the right thing to do. Our lives are originally given by our parents. You don't know what I'm facing. What, you are right, there must be hope in life. However, after what happened in the Kingdom of the Dead, I have no hope in my heart. You know, I am still not sure what I will do in the future. How can I let you bear all this uncertainty with me?"
Ling Menglu could feel the pain and struggle in Long Dangdang's words and couldn't help but ask: "What happened? What makes you suffer so much? Tell me, let me bear it with you, no matter what, I will support you, I don’t want your alienation, I can even feel the will to die from you, this is what I am most worried about. I understand that you are afraid of delaying me after your death. I don’t care. I can tell you frankly that in this world, I can’t fall in love with anyone else. Only you can become My husband. When we return from this mission, I will tell Grandpa that I will marry you. Therefore, if you die, I will not live alone. Life is yours, and death is your ghost. If you dare to abandon me again, I will die directly for you.”
Long Dangdang raised his head and looked at Ling Menglu. Her tone was very calm, but her words were extremely firm. Under the faint light of the night pearl, her eyes were calm and persistent, and she looked at him so steadily that Long Dangdang felt weak.
“I don’t want to force you, but we have gone deep into the Kingdom of the Dead again. I want to know what happened last time you came here, so that I can make suggestions for you. Let’s find a way to face it together, instead of You are suffering alone. At least you have me by your side!"
Listening to her words, Long Dangdang could no longer control his emotions. A light flashed on his body, and the next moment, he and Ling Menglu were there! The two people disappeared into the cave out of thin air.
Although the others were resting on their own, they were all startled when they suddenly discovered that the two of them had disappeared. After being stunned for a moment, Ming Xi couldn't help but said: "Why did the leader and Monroe teleport away? What happened?"
Tao Linlin said with a strange expression: "They..."
Yue Li said seriously: "Don't think about it, they must have gone to discuss something."
Ming Xi said doubtfully: "Even if we are discussing things, we can also chat privately through the spirit crystal! Why go out?"
Taolinlin coughed, "It makes sense, but it's not important. Let's rest our , Don’t worry about it.”
Wang Changxin didn’t speak from the beginning to the end, but there was a little more confusion in his eyes.
The sky is still gray, and the light of the stars and the moon cannot penetrate through the thick fog of the World of the Undead. Therefore, the light in the Kingdom of the Undead at night is always very weak. Even outside the cave, it can only be vaguely seen within a hundred meters. Just a figure.
Long Dangdang hugged Ling Menglu tightly. At this moment, his inner emotions could no longer be suppressed. The restrained passion burst out. He kissed her red lips forcefully. At this moment, He could no longer care about anything but his strong feelings for her.
Ling Menglu responded equally fiercely. She could feel that his closed heart had finally reopened. At this time, no matter how much he asked for, she would not refuse, even if it meant giving her She was willing to give him the most precious thing.
But he didn't move too far, he just kissed her for a long, long time...
After the kiss, they hugged each other tightly, and it still lasted for a long, long time... I don't know how long it took. , even the sky outside seemed to be getting brighter, and Long Dangdang reluctantly let go of the person in his arms.
"Monroe, you know me. I have never been a coward. However, after returning from the Kingdom of the Dead, I was really desperate from the bottom of my heart. It seemed that all the way forward had been closed. At that time, I even feel that even death is a kind of happiness after liberation."
Ling Menglu's face gradually changed as she listened to Long Dangdang's slightly hoarse voice. Yes, Long Dangdang has always been a strong person. , even after knowing that his parents had been captured, he was still able to hold on and insisted on waiting until he had a certain strength and the possibility of rescue before going alone. This was not only calm, but also courage. For him to become so depressed, one can imagine the magnitude of the change.
"Could it be that my aunt and uncle have already..." Ling Menglu murmured.
Long Dangdang shook his head bitterly, "If that's the case, at least my desire for revenge will make me more determined to try to avenge them and kill powerful enemies."
Ling Menglu's expression changed: "That's..."
Long Dangdang smiled bitterly: "What would you think if you knew that the family that has always been the most important to you is on the opposite side and is not even willing to acknowledge you as your son? ?”
Ling Menglu lost her voice and asked, "Are my aunt and uncle controlled by the Kingdom of the Undead?"
Long Dangdang shook his head, "The supreme leader of the Kingdom of the Undead is known as the Holy Dharma God of the Undead, and he is the founder of the entire Kingdom of the Undead. The most powerful being, I fell into her hands. She is your sixth aunt, my mother.”
Ling Menglu said: “It turns out that the leader of the Kingdom of the Dead is called the Holy God of the Dead. Wait, what did you say? You..."
In an instant, Ling Menglu's eyes widened, even her pupils were slightly dilated, and her body even started to tremble uncontrollably.
Long Dangdang said bitterly: "I still remember my grandpa said that my mother's origin is very special. She was picked up by him from a cave overseas. For this reason, she even went through various federal investigations. However, even the federation did not find out that she did not actually belong to this world. She came from another dimension and was reincarnated with hatred."
"This, How is this possible..."
Long Dangdang looked at her, his eyes full of pain, "So can you understand how shocked I was when I knew this fact? And my mother told me that the Kingdom of the Dead She created it with her own hands, and her purpose was to take revenge on humans, to kill all humans and let the undead rule the world. How much subversion would it have to me?"
At the moment, he began to destroy himself? After recounting his experiences in the Kingdom of the Dead, he was finally able to vent the greatest pain buried deep in his heart.
The impact and pressure that all of this has brought to him is too great, and now, finally, there is someone who can tell it, even though he doesn't know, he is listening. How would Ling Menglu react after his story.
Long Dangdang's memory of what happened that day was too profound, so his narration also included all the details, including two complete stories.
Ling Menglu's pretty face gradually turned pale, and the incredulity in her eyes continued to escalate. She finally understood why Long Dangdang had changed so much after returning from the Kingdom of the Undead, and she finally understood why. Long Dangdang is alienating himself, because he is even full of will to die and has no love in life!
Long Dangdang kept talking until he was let go by his father, the Lich King, and told him that perhaps the Throne of the Divine Seal of Eternity and Creation could change everything.
After the narration was over, their eyes met, and what Ling Menglu saw was the deep pain in Long Dangdang's eyes.
And tears began to flow from her eyes.
"Monroe, I didn't want to tell you this originally. I really don't want to let down your true feelings. But, I can't! Now you know why I can't. I even thought about it, if there is One day, my strength is enough to compete with the Kingdom of the Undead. What I will face will be my parents and younger brother. What should I do? What they did, they are all my family. I don’t know. At that time, I estimate that I will be torn apart by the entanglement in my heart, so I will tell them. You, I am a person without a future..."
As soon as he said this, his lips were kissed hard by a pair of lips with a salty and wet taste, completely drowning his next words in his throat.
With tears in her eyes, she kissed him. It was only at this moment that she truly understood how much suffering he had been feeling in his heart these past few days, and how much pain he had endured. And despite this, he didn't complain at all or flinch at all.
This is the man she loves. Even if his biological parents are on the opposite side, his beliefs have not changed. Even in the face of such danger, he can still inspire eternity and peace with his kind heart. In response to the Divine Seal Throne of Creation, her heart ached for her, but at the same time, she was proud for him.
