SWNOVELS Chapter 2300 Determination
"M-Master, c-could you grant me a request?"
Atop the Celestial Road, two figures lean on each other, blood flowing down their clothes.
Along Celestial Road, it sprinkled down onto the horizon.
Under the moonlight, even the dripping blood appeared crystal clear and sparkling.
Twinkling stars were like fallen celestial bodies.
It was thought that Ye Fan and his beloved Eigetsu would be together till the end of their lives.
But at that moment, the quiet girl in his arms suddenly made her final request to Ye Fan in a frail voice.
Ye Fan said with a gentle smile, "Eigetsu, go ahead. I'll do my best to grant your request as long as it's within my capabilities."
Ye Fan's aura had also become extremely weak, and his tone was as fragile as a candle flame flickering in the wind.
Eigetsu's pale face suddenly flushed with a hint of red.
She made an effort to turn her head, looking at the familiar gentleman in front of her. Somewhat shyly, she asked, "Master, w-will you kiss me? After all these years, y-you've never taken the initiative to kiss me."
The subtle words of Moon God were filled with profound melancholy and longing.
Ye Fan recalled for a moment.
Ever since he met Eigetsu, almost all of their intimate interactions were initiated by her.
Yet, Ye Fan had never taken the initiative to get intimate with her.
After a moment of hesitation, Ye Fan finally agreed to Eigetsu.
Although he didn't want to take advantage of her, they were both already on the verge of dying. Since Eigetsu had made the request, Ye Fan couldn't possibly turn her down.
And so, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the couple at the peak of the Celestial Road moved closer to each other.
Ye Fan wrapped his arms around Eigetsu's waist. He closed his eyes and gently kissed the cold corner of Eigetsu's lips with his blood-stained lips.
The moment their lips met, Ye Fan distinctly felt the delicate body of the beauty in his arms tremble as if she had been electrified.
That feeling of spiritual and physical unity, for the inexperienced Eigetsu, was undoubtedly an ultimate pleasure in both mind and body.
Especially when the one kissing her was the man she had been yearning for all those years.
At that moment, Eigetsu was greedily savoring the scent of her master and daringly prying Ye Fan's lips open with her tongue.
The once majestic and awe-inspiring Tsukuyomi Tenshin, who was unparalleled in her splendor and grandeur, seemed hungry and impatient when she kissed Ye Fan passionately.
It was as if all the joy and longing for the rest of one's life were being poured into that very moment.
It was just as the poem suggested.
If two hearts were bound for eternity, they wouldn't care about the passing of days and nights.
However, when Moon God realized she was to part from her master forever, she couldn't help but be overwhelmed with sorrow.
Ye Fan could clearly feel that as Eigetsu kissed him, two lines of tears kept streaming down her pretty face.
The sensation was cool and soothing, like pearls slipping off a broken string and cascading down the beautiful face of Moon God.
"Silly girl, why are you crying? I'll be there to accompany you in the afterlife." Ye Fan gently parted his lips, his eyes filled with tender affection as he wiped away the tears from the corner of the eyes of the beautiful woman in his arms.
However, it seemed like Eigetsu couldn't bear to part with Ye Fan, and once again, she leaned in close with determination.
Their lips met, their breaths mingling.
Ye Fan could only respond with a bitter, helpless smile.
Unexpectedly, even on the brink of death, Ye Fan could still witness such a tantalizing scene. It seems, even after I die, I can still be a charming ghost.
However, as Ye Fan calmly awaited the arrival of death, he suddenly felt a warm current of air gently flowing into his body through his nose and lips. That warm current was filled with a rich essence of life and power.
After entering Ye Fan's body, the nearly depleted strength of Ye Fan surprisingly began to accumulate slowly.
The body, previously exhausted to its limit, gradually regained vitality under the nourishment of the warm current.
Besides, the severed tendons and wounds of Ye Fan were healing at an astonishing rate.
Ye Fan couldn't help but feel astonished.
He quickly realized that something was amiss because he could clearly sense that that magical power was emanating from Eigetsu's body. Moreover, after the force was released, Eigetsu's physical condition deteriorated alarmingly rapidly.
Her vitality quickly withered, fading away as swiftly as the ebbing tide.
The charming face that was just slightly flushed a moment ago had turned as pale as a sheet of paper. Moreover, Moon God's long, beautiful black hair was also undergoing a transformation.
The black faded, turned into silver, and then whitened strand by strand.
"Eigetsu? What are you doing? Stop! Stop it right now!" Ye Fan quickly realized that something was amiss.
Even though he didn't know what methods Eigetsu had used, he could sense that Moon God was infusing her remaining life force into Ye Fan.
After all, Moon God was an unparalleled master whose legacy had been passed down through the ages.
The secret techniques she had were innumerable.
At that moment, there indeed existed a method to infuse others with life force.
Suddenly, Ye Fan understood why Eigetsu suddenly proposed the request to kiss him.
As it turned out, she was already harboring thoughts of certain death.
All she yearned for was to feel the warmth and the touch of Ye Fan's lips once more at the end of her life.
Indeed, love was so powerful that one would have no fear in the face of death.
Ye Fan had never imagined that Eigetsu, the woman he had always overlooked and seldom cared for, would be willing to give so much to him.
At the cost of her own life, she left the hope of living to Ye Fan, reserving death for herself.
Ye Fan panicked there and then.
He called out anxiously and struggled incessantly as his angry words echoed throughout Mount Kransbay.
However, there was only that much strength Ye Fan, who was on the brink of death, could muster.
Although Moon God was severely wounded, she, like a dying flame flickering back to life, was filled with desperation at that moment. Moon God, who was determined to die, unexpectedly unleashed an absolute power, so absolute that Ye Fan found it impossible to resist.
Just like that, Moon God held Ye Fan tightly and pressed her lips firmly against his.
The last vestiges of her life force were continuously pouring into Ye Fan.
"Don't! Eigetsu, please don't!" Tears streamed down from the corners of Ye Fan's eyes, and he felt as though he had been stabbed in the heart a thousand times.
The pain was so intense that it almost pushed Ye Fan to the point of a mental breakdown. I bet nothing in this world will hurt as much as this. I have to watch the girl I care for die slowly in my arms.
Ye Fan watched as her vitality flowed away, her jet-black hair turned snow white, and her radiant and unparalleled beauty gradually faded. It's like I'm holding a piece of ice in my hand, watching it melt away, yet powerless to stop it.
After an indeterminate amount of time, the beauty in his arms, her warm, delicate body, started to grow cold.
The once powerful arm, too, had become limp.
Her head was full of white hair, as pale as frost, and her gaze seemed lifeless.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Fan finally pushed Eigetsu away, interrupting her life force transmission.
Then, with eyes full of sorrow, Ye Fan held Eigetsu tightly in his arms.
The deep crimson blood on Eigetsu's pale and pretty face was strikingly vivid and glaring.
"How could you, Eigetsu? How could you be so silly? Who told you to do that? Did I agree with that?" Ye Fan roared in anger.
Within those words of anger, there lay a heart-wrenching sorrow.
That scene nearly moved the world to tears.
In the region of Jiangdong, Li Er and his companions had been reduced to a sobbing mess.
The Grand Old Lady of the Chu family was also tearing up.
As for Tang Yun, Xu Lei, and Junie, their eyes were also filled with tears.
Although they didn't like seeing Ye Fan getting close to other women, they, as Ye Fan's soulmates, couldn't bear to harbor any resentment toward Moon God.
They couldn't fathom just how deep Moon God's feelings for Ye Fan were because she was willing to sacrifice her life for him.
At that moment, Tang Yun and the others were all questioning themselves. If the same thing were to happen to us, would we, like Moon God, be so resolute and steadfast?
