Chapter 1341: I'm Here, Everything Will Be Fine

Dong Ziwan's face was covered, revealing only her indifferent eyes that gave off a cold feeling. Her entire person seemed to emanate a certain charm. With her face covered, all who saw her would think that she was a first-class beauty. If they saw her face, they would probably be given the shock of their lives.

When Xiang Shaoyun saw her, he ignored all the onlookers and approached her. Devil Concubine wanted to follow him, but she was stopped by the look in Yu Caidie's eyes. After some hesitation, she decided to remain where she was and continue resting with her eyes shut.

Standing alone at the corner, Dong Ziwan immediately noticed someone was approaching her. When she saw that it was Xiang Shaoyun, her eyes rippled with emotions.

"Wan'er, I know it's you. Don't deny it anymore. If you're still angry, I'll stand here for you to punish. I won't defend myself or strike back. I only hope to erase your anger," said Xiang Shaoyun tenderly.

No matter what, they had gone through several dangers together. After seeing how she had changed, he felt as if his heart was cut out. He did not wish to see her suffer like this.

Dong Ziwan looked away and said, "I don't know you. Get away from me."

Xiang Shaoyun did not answer and reached for her shoulders.

"Go away!" Dong Ziwan shouted as she slammed her palm into his chest. She used quite a lot of strength, trying to force Xiang Shaoyun to leave her alone.

Xiang Shaoyun did not do anything to defend himself. The palm sent him several steps backward. Blood dripped out of his mouth, but he resisted the pain and remained silent.

"W-why didn't you avoid the attack?" Dong Ziwan cried out anxiously.

"Like I said, so long as you can vent your anger, feel free to punish me as you like. Why would I dodge it?" said Xiang Shaoyun seriously.

"You...you..." Dong Ziwan did not know what to say.

Once again, Xiang Shaoyun approached her and held her shoulders. This time, she did not attack. Her entire body trembled as she lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

"Wan'er!" Xiang Shaoyun called out.

"Um," Dong Ziwan answered by instinct.

At her reply, Xiang Shaoyun hugged her. She wanted to resist, but she eventually hugged him and started crying instead. Her sorrowful crying could be heard all around her, bringing pain to all who heard her. Many people looked over. When they saw Xiang Shaoyun hugging Dong Ziwan, they lamented inwardly, What a womanizer.

With Xiang Shaoyun's looks and talent, it wasn't surprising that he was surrounded by women. That hug caused Han Chenfei to fully give up on Xiang Shaoyun. He did not lack women, and she would never be able to become his woman.

"This ends here," muttered Han Chenfei as she shut her eyes, tears running down her cheeks.

When Ouyang Chuanqi looked at Han Chenfei, he sighed inwardly. He took out some liquor and started drinking silently.

Xiang Shaoyun gently stroked Dong Ziwan's hair and said, "Don't cry anymore. I'm here. Everything will be fine."

"Um. I'm fine," said Dong Ziwan.

She was already happy to reunite with Xiang Shaoyun and obtain Xiang Shaoyun's concern. With her current looks, she wouldn't ask for anything more.

Xiang Shaoyun let go of Dong Ziwan and asked tenderly, "You must have suffered a lot over the years."

"It's ok," Dong Ziwan gave a simple reply.

"Enter the Saintforce Realm with us. I'll introduce some friends to you," said Xiang Shaoyun as he held Dong Ziwan's hand.

He did not mention Dong Ziwan's sad past, as he did not want to touch upon her scars. That would have to wait. For now, his goal was to heal her face.

"No, I came alone, so you don't need to waste any time on me. I'm happy enough that you still remember me," said Dong Ziwan seriously.

"I'll stay here with you, then," said Xiang Shaoyun. He understood how Dong Ziwan was feeling, so he didn't insist.

"No, you should go back. I'm doing fine the way I am," said Dong Ziwan as she pulled her hand back.

"You're still not willing to forgive me?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

"You did nothing wrong, so what is there to forgive? I'm used to being alone, so I don't like to stay with others. Don't mind me. Since you see me as a friend, I'll see you as a friend as well. We'll remain friends so long as you don't mind my looks," said Dong Ziwan.

"Wan'er, I know you have experienced many hardships. I can't undo it all, but I swear I'll help your face recover," said Xiang Shaoyun solemnly.

"It's useless. My face won't heal," said Dong Ziwan with a look of despair in her eyes.

"Can you take off the veil for me?" asked Xiang Shaoyun gently.

"No!" Dong Ziwan resisted.

"Look at me, Wan'er. Trust me!" said Xiang Shaoyun seriously as he held her shoulders yet again.

Dong Ziwan looked into Xiang Shaoyun's eyes. Initially, her gaze was evasive. Slowly, she stopped evading, meeting his earnest gaze. From his eyes, she saw absolute confidence and concern for her.

"Fine," said Dong Ziwan with a sigh as she stopped resisting.

Xiang Shaoyun slowly removed her veil, revealing a badly-scarred face. It was as though numerous centipedes were running through her face, presenting a disgusting sight.

"I look horrifying, right?" Dong Ziwan asked.

"Nope," Xiang Shaoyun replied before planting a kiss on her forehead.

Dong Ziwan's body turned stiff. She had not imagined that Xiang Shaoyun wouldn't be bothered by her face. Her heart was enveloped by warmth.

"This was caused by the zombie centipede poison, right?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

Dong Ziwan was astonished, "You know it?"

"Of course. The zombie centipede is a very powerful type of poisonous bug. They generally live in the bodies of zombies and carry extremely powerful poison with them. Anyone they poison will either be killed or scarred for life. Not even saint-grade water can clear this poison. You're already lucky to be alive," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"I know. My master told me the same. Unless I can find the legendary saint-grade water, the flesh purification water, my face will remain the same forever," said Dong Ziwan sadly.

"Who told you only the flesh purification water can help you? If you have god-grade spring water, you can fully recover as well," said Xiang Shaoyun.
