Chapter 845: Can You Give Me One More Chance At Love?
Chapter 845: Can You Give Me One More Chance At Love?
“Is that so?” Student Yue Yang behaved very calmly.
“You will die today, and yet you aren’t afraid?” the beautiful woman who claimed to be Pandora asked strangely.
“It’s not true, after all…” Yue Yang smiled. How could he die if he was in excellent condition. Even a normal human being wouldn’t die abruptly without reason, let alone himself.
“You don’t believe it? In fact, my predictions are fairly accurate. For 100,000 years, it seems that there have been no exceptions. I don’t really know why I have such a predictive ability either, but once I say so, it will become an undisputed fact. A lot of my previous victims didn’t believe my words, but they all died without exception. Not too long ago, there was also a human man who showed up, and he was much stronger than you. I told him that he would die within a year…” Pandora gave Yue Yang an example.
“He died within that year?” Yue Yang asked.
“I don’t know,” Pandora shook her head,”According to the people who came in three years later, there was indeed a very powerful man who had died. I didn’t ask whether it was within the year I had predicted though, so I’m not very sure about that either.”
“What is the name of that very powerful human man?” Yue Yang asked again.
“He seems to be called Zhan Feng,” Pandora said as Yue Yang sweated profusely. Who was Zhan Feng? It was none other than the famous Prison Emperor!
“What did you suspect to be his cause of his death?” Yue Yang somewhat believed in the opponent’s prediction ability, but the fact remains that he was slightly curious.
“I think it was a self-induced explosion!” Pandora implied that she was not sure.
“Then how will I die today?” Yue Yang asked again.
“About this, you probably will die from the Power of Resentment here in the Desire Valley!” Pandora was relatively certain about Yue Yang’s cause of death.
“Why will I die of Resentment?” Yue Yang’s curiosity was piqued.
“You are a little different from others. Your body seems to be automatically absorbing the Power of Resentment… This power has existed since ancient times. There were countless people who failed to break through the levels, and they induced an endless supply of resentment right before their deaths, which is not something that your body can withstand. Coupled with the fusion of the Resentment Power and the Law that exists here, if you absorb the power, it is equivalent to practically engulfing the Law, and that Law which sustains the existence of the Desire Valley will naturally produce backlash. You won’t need to wait long before your body will explode and die,” Pandora gave Yue Yang a detailed analysis of the cause of his death.
“I see,” Yue Yang was not surprised by this answer. He felt that there was indeed a ‘black hole’ in his body that would swallow inconspicuous amounts of energy. Besides, there was also ‘World’ that absorbed energy endlessly all the time.
“If the cause of death has been found, what are you going to do about it?” Pandora was surprised that Yue Yang was calm.
“What do you mean ‘what am i going to do’ ?” Yue Yang was puzzled.
“Aren’t you afraid?” Pandora felt that this kid didn’t look like someone who had already known the exact time of his death. According to reason, his brain should be able to process the news by now? Or was ignorant of death ever since he was born?
“Do I really have to be afraid of this?” Yue Yang asked with some uncertainty latched in his voice.
“Of course! It’s death!” Pandora’s head was almost spinning.
“You are dead too, so are you scared of it?” Yue Yang retorted.
“I’ve been dead for a hundred thousand years, so what is there to be afraid of!” Pandora said that she was used to it a long time ago.
“Well, I’m not dead yet, what is there for me to be afraid of!” Student Yue Yang shrugged nonchalantly and spreaded his hands. Not only was he calm but he was also optimistic, ” Aren’t I still alive right now?”
“…” Pandora was speechless.
Yue Yang walked forward all the way along the various giant stone statues of copulation that lined on both of his sides.
Gradually, there was a line of trees.
But these trees were very strange as they were all shaped like humans. The trees on Yue Yang’s left resembled women, whereas the ones on the right looked like men.
The further he advanced, the more similarly the trees looked like humans. Towards the end, the trees that Yue Yang saw were no longer trees and became Treants[1] instead. Females remained on the left and males occupied the right. All of them were naked without a single piece of clothing. Looking at them, they subtly caused the temptation to rile up. These Treants of both genders, screamed with tears streaming down their faces when they saw Yue Yang coming over, some even calling out ‘help’.
T/L Note: [1] treants are creatures (normally humans) that look like a tree. Think of it as a human with vines and branches and leaves around them to make this scene more believable
Yue Yang, who remained invisible, looked back at Pandora strangely, “Can these Treants see me?”
Pandora has been floating behind Yue Yang and she said with a smile, “Any trespasser who enters the Desire Valley, it will be of no avail no matter what treasures and skills you use to cloak yourself with. As long as it is under the Law, everything will be visible and you’d have nowhere to hide.”
Yue Yang asked again, “Can these Treants see you?”
Pandora denied, “I’m an exception to the Law. Besides you, there were very few rankers who could sense the Power of Resentment. Most of them don’t even know that I exist!”
“Please, save me! Take me out of here! I can give you everything!” Next to Yue Yang, there was a Treant girl. Of course, there was more than one woman on this tree, but they looked like they were melting into a tree pole. Although their bodies could move to a certain extent, it could not leave the whole trunk. Another girl who was able to speak begged Yue Yang bitterly. She stretched out her slender arm to him, trying her best to grab a hold of him. But as soon as her arm was stretched out of the tree and the sunlight shone, her arm caught fire, and the pain caused the Treant girl to scream.
“If you are willing to save me, I can be your slave. I can even offer you my chrysanthemum[2]!” The Treant man on the other side also pleaded with Yue Yang.
T/L note: [2] At this point, I’m not sure if I explained this before but this flower means, ‘anus’. Literally.
“Sorry, I am not interested in your chrysanthemum,” Student Yue Yang added, “Besides, I will die today.”
“Have you violated the law?” The Treant girl expressed her dissatisfaction on her face.
“Although it was unintentional…” Yue Yang nodded and admitted.
“Scram! What a waste of my time!” When the Treant man on the other side heard that Yue Yang had violated the law, his expression immediately changed.
“Why are you angry with a dead person? While we wait for the next passerby, let’s have some fun first,” The Treant man and another, who wasn’t far from him, slowly crept towards each other, one of them descended on top of the other’s frame. After coming down, their skin squirmed on the now slimy branches, looking absolutely disgusting. When the two bodies were put together, the two Treants ignored Yue Yang’s dumbfounded gaze as they hugged each other straightforwardly, rocking back and forth in a sensational manner.
For a time, the two tree men screamed loudly and wheezed, but the surrounding tree men turned a blind eye, as if it was a normal occurrence.
Many Treants evoked the action and also followed suit.
Soon, the trees on both sides trembled.
Student Yue Yang was sweating madly.
Only the Treant girl, who had the sun burn her arm, looked at Yue Yang with tears, “You will die today, so can you give me one more chance at love? As long as I can get your love, I can leave here! Before you die, I will accompany you for a day, so that you can relish in your fullest happiness before death! And you can also leave your seeds with me and I can give birth to a son of yours in the future! Since you are going to die, don’t you want to leave something to this world? At the last moment, do you still want to have regrets? I can satisfy you and let you pass in bliss…I will love you, remember you forever, and take your son to live a good life in the future and teach him how to behave. I will have him become the best fighter in the Heaven Realm, and we will come here to worship again in the future!”
Student Yue Yang seemed to be very kind today. He moved closer and asked, “What should I do to save you?”
Pandora let out a dissatisfied snort behind him, beckoning him to not be so stupid.
In the Desire Valley, no one can be trusted.
Yue Yang didn’t show any particular expression. His face resembled the portrayal of the expression, ‘I am your saviour and I will save you’.
The Treant girl was moved to the point where she shed tears and kept sobbing. Finally, she suppressed her excitement and tremblingly said, “As long as you- as long as you kiss me, I can be free again. Once I am free, I can give you all the joy you want. We can cultivate love in one day. If it weren’t for your lack of time, I could stay with you for several years, or even a lifetime— you don’t know how touched I am! I love you and I will continue to love you forever. As long as you give me freedom, I will love you with all my life!”
“Kiss? Where do I kiss you?” Yue Yang moved closer, his eyes sweeping over the Treant girl’s snow-white breasts and her widely opened legs, revealing a certain private area.
“It’s okay to touch it too!” The tree girl seemed to be shy. She lowered her head and dared not look at Yue Yang, her voice trembling a little.
As soon as student Yue Yang heard it, he thought, It was just as simple as touching?
He pretended to cough seriously as he smoothened out the clothes on his body and combed his hair. He even nearly forgot to take out the mirror to see if he became handsome.
Finally, he brought out the noble demeanour of a gentleman giving his life to save others and touched the Treant girl’s crisp chest.
When Yue Yang still withdrew his big hand reluctantly, the Treant girl suddenly smiled.
Her body was struggling fiercely on the tree.
With a snap, she fell to the ground.
Waiting for her to get up amidst the green slimy sap, Yue Yang himself suddenly flew over to the tree and was stuck. The more he struggled, the more he was trapped in the holds of the tree. Student Yue Yang exclaimed, “What’s going on?”
The girl who fell under the tree chuckled and said, “Of course it is to take my place! Naturally, you wouldn’t know but here, anyone’s freedom must be exchanged for another person’s freedom. Maybe in the future, you will be free when another idiot is fooled. Before that, I will go ahead. My dear foolish lover, I will teach you something good— never trust strangers easily and do not easily promise something to a stranger. In this Land of Trials, there is no one who could die faster than a good old Samaritan!”
Student Yue Yang looked terrified, and suddenly he remembered something, “Didn’t you say that you were going to love me forever? And you were going to give birth to my children!”
After the girl stood up, she turned into a middle-aged man.
He laughed loudly,”Fool! Here in Desire Valley, men become women in singularity, and women become men exactly the same way— which means the men and women you see now constantly changes every day! You idiot, you were deceived already and yet, you put your trust in me? Besides, if it weren’t for this, would you believe me? I waited for so long and finally got a stand-in. Hahaha, wait in line slowly then. It will be your turn to seduce passerbys once a few thousand others get their turn. Actually, there is nothing wrong with enjoying the days of becoming male-to-female here, at least you would have fun every day. If you’re sick of men, you can play with women; when you’re done with women, you can have others play you. As long as there are people on the tree, and you’re also no longer satisfied with a one-on-one, you can play along together. After all, you won’t be too bored here, hahaha!”
Student Yue Yang became Wife Xianglin[3], “I’m so stupid. I knew it was fake yet I still believed in others…”
T/L Note:[3] It’s a fictional character in a short story. She was forced into working, was always tired, a series of tragedies fell upon her and she died in a windy snowy night. Basically saying you have suffered.
The middle-aged man laughed wildly, “Slowly repent, I got here in the same way. Just get used to it. My dear brothers and sisters, I will bait in more fools to come here to replace you, so just wait patiently. I’m leaving!”
Ignoring the words of the Treants around, the middle-aged man flew out impatiently.
Before leaving, he used his heel to lift up the bag Yue Yang had just placed on the ground.
Not only did he want Yue Yang’s ‘love’, but he wanted to receive his baggage as well.
He flew smoothly for a hundred meters.
Suddenly, everything was shattered.
All the sights, like a shattered mirror in space, completely disappeared.
It turned out that the middle-aged man who flew 100 meters away was still the Treant girl on the tree, and the tears on her face hadn’t dried yet.
But student Yue Yang, who was stuck on the tree pole, still stood in the center of the line of trees with a smile, as if he hadn’t moved a step. The small bag that was put down before remained on his back.
“An illusion?” The Treant girl’s face changed.
“Wrong. To be precise, it is the reality of an illusion. This stuff is a high-end product, and it’s normal if you don’t know it!” Student Yue Yang opened his bag and took out a lot of red phosphorite crystals, throwing them out one by one. He threw them on both sides of the line of trees. Between every Tree, there was one in place. In fact, this was not taken from his bag. It was from the storage ring of Deputy Palace Master Shen Du. Originally, Yue Yang thought it was some sort of treasure, who knew it only turned out to be some high-purity red phosphorite crystals, which disappointed student Yue Yang.
“What do you want to do?” Not only the girl, but all the other Treants panicked.
“It’s easy— barbecue!”
Student Yue Yang smiled, his smile resembled a God descending into the mortal realm under the sunlight, “The weather is so cold. If I don’t start a fire,I’m afraid you will catch a cold,” Before his words were over, the sky was raining in a hail of storms. Every piece of snow was as sharp as a blade, and this kind of frosty atmosphere was close to being zero degrees, which was not something the Treants could withstand.
The red phosphorite crystals on the ground were just the opposite.
Under the fluttering snow, the blossoming red lotuses of anger ignited, and the stored fire erupted, ejecting raging flames all around.
Dual Heavens of Ice and Fire!
The entire Treant colony screamed in agony… Student Yue Yang smiled, as if he heard the most touching music in the world, “You can actually scream louder!”
“I beg for your forgiveness. Please forgive us, forgive us!” Countless wailing sounds burst out amongst the flames and frost, “We were wrong, please forgive us. Please be merciful and forgive us who are depraved and deceitful!”
“This little punishment is nothing. Continue to say that you love me, continue to deceive me! Even if you tricked me, I will still put my trust in you; I am very good!” Student Yue Yang raised his hand, and thousands of lightning bolts appeared in the sky. They fell like raindrops, and those Treants were instantly incinerated into ashes. But under the confinement of the Power of the Law, they will not really die, as their skin will grow again on the tree poles. However, the pain was unavoidable, making these Treants rather pray for death instead.
“You really are a pushover. It’s fine if you weren’t fooled, why should you punish them like this?” Pandora was originally angry at the deceit, but she couldn’t bear it when he saw that the Treants were in too much misery.
“I have time to kill after all.. Besides, wasn’t I going to die today? I’m about to die and I must be upset. It’s reasonable to torture them, right?” Yue Yang said that he had a reason for doing this.
“And yet I think you are in a good mood?” Pandora was puzzled.
“Because, I verified one thing,” Yue Yang smiled. This time it was a real smile and he smiled very proudly.
“What did you verify?” Pandora asked.
“These failures do have resentment. When I tortured them, they did radiate a lot of Power of Resentment, but even their power accumulated over 100,000 years was less than one percent of the Desire Valley’s. The real source of Resentment Power is you, the beautiful Pandora!” Yue Yang spoke like he was having a friendly discussion: “Do you remember who cut off your beautiful head?”
“No, I don’t remember at all,” Pandora thought hard, before she finally shook his head, “my mind is completely blank.”
“Forget it, that’s not important, I don’t have time to be nosy,” Yue Yang gave up looking for an answer.
“Don’t you have one day left?” Pandora comforted, “You were very optimistic just now.”
“That was just now,” Yue Yang indicated that people’s mood would change.
“…” Pandora was speechless. Even if it does change, wasn’t that way too fast?
To the end, he saw the pair of headless stone statues of a man and a woman. It was just as Empress Fei Wen Li had said: this is the exit to leave.
Yue Yang did not drop his blood. He realised that he was still in the Law of the Desire Valley and his entire being was trapped in the Power of Resentment. The black hole and World in his body were consuming this energy frantically, which made him unsure whether or not he would end up exploding. He knew one thing though, and it was that he did not really succeed in clearing the Level. Empress Fei Wen Li and the Prison Emperor could easily meet the conditions, but he could not pass the same way.
This may also be the unique trait of his as an annoying person.
Pandora watched the boy lay out a sumptuous meal and asked strangely, “What are you doing?”
Yue Yang didn’t turn his head back, “I’m going to eat. If I don’t have a good meal now, you can expect me to be a starving ghost in the future!”
Pandora was absolutely speechless, “…”
Finally, seeing that this kid finished his feast and laying on the grass leisurely basking in the sun, he held a chicken leg in his hand and gnawed repeatedly. Then, she had a sudden thought, “Anyway, since you are going to die, can you give me one more chance at love? I have never liked men, but you seem to be a little different from other men. You seem interesting. It would be a pity for you to die like this. Can you let me remember you for the rest of my life?”
The chicken leg that student Yue Yang was gnawing onto dropped to the ground. He said as he sweated profusely, “I’ll say, Pandora, the Treant guy just now said the same thing to me…”
