Chapter 139 The Legend of the Evil Dragon (End)
Soon, Qiao Xiao emerged from the illusion created by the book.
Qiao Xiao: "What happened?"
It seems like everything happened in an instant; I walked in in a daze and came out without understanding why.
A sound like turning pages came from behind her, and there was a strange phenomenon in the book: Astor had been brought back.
Qiao Xiao hesitated before calling out, "My lord?"
Astor's eyes were fixed blankly, as if he were in another world. He suddenly staggered and stumbled a few steps.
He looked up at Qiao Xiao, a hint of heartache in his eyes, and tentatively asked, "Qiao Xiao?"
Qiao Xiao was taken aback. His eyes seemed unusual, as he could easily discern the meaning of "heartache".
Qiao Xiao took a few steps back, cautiously looking at the person in front of her, and questioned, "Who are you?"
Asdor: "Have you forgotten everything?"
Qiao Xiao slowly shook her head. "Is my lord under some kind of illusion? Why are you so distracted?"
Astor remained silent, then said, "You don't need to call me 'sir,' just call me Astor."
Qiao Xiao: "Asdor?"
She didn't understand what Astory saw in the illusion.
Asdor looked at her with concern in his eyes, "You've suffered so much on your own, but thankfully he's here."
Qiao Xiao quickly asked, "Who is he?!"
Astor: "Why did you come here? Was it for him?"
He seemed to have seen through the illusions of the world, but Qiao Xiao's eyes sharpened, and she asked fiercely, "Tell me, who is he?!"
Astair: "He'll tell you when he shows up."
Qiao Xiao sneered and questioned, "Don't look at me with that all-knowing look. It's annoying. If you don't want to talk, fine. Asking is pointless. It's no use asking you."
She didn't understand why she was angry for no reason. She was extremely disgusted by Astor's sudden relationship with her, or rather, she was sensitive to this feeling of concern.
Asdor: "Joe, I will definitely help you two reunite?"
Qiao Xiao sneered: "Hmph? Reunion? Do you know how to reunite? First, I have to kill you, Asdor."
Astor: "I have lived in this world for hundreds of years and possess absolute strength. Although I still look like a child, my mental strength is far from that of a child. But after experiencing some things, I have come to understand that life is a sea of suffering, and the power of heaven can destroy it. It is pitiful and lamentable. Joe, you made me understand this truth. I would not hesitate to go to prison for it."
Qiao Xiao noticed a significant change in his demeanor, and a thought suddenly crossed her mind: "Did you see my past self?"
Astor lowered his head without any attempt to hide it. "Mm."
Qiao Xiao exploded instantly: "Your gaze is really piercing. What is that, pity? Then tell me what exactly happened?"
She hasn't even fully recalled her past yet, and now some unknown person is looking at her with such concerned eyes. Is this mockery?
Asdor: "I'm sorry, Qiao Xiao, I don't want to repeat the same mistake. For you now, amnesia is the best option."
Qiao Xiao couldn't calm down. She didn't understand why she had to suffer from amnesia. "Amnesia would be the best thing?" She laughed sarcastically a few times, then said, "Did I say that? It's not you who's suffering from amnesia."
Asdor reached out, and Qiao Xiao was startled, immediately asking, "What, are you going to erase this part of my memory again? Humph?"
“No.” He looked at her helplessly and finally said, “If you do this, he will be sad.”
Qiao Xiao: "Then why don't you have him come and see me, okay?"
Asdor: "He's already seen you, hasn't he?"
Qiao Xiao recalled "Asdor" from that day, "I beg you, Asdor, he possessed you that day, he can do it again, I beg you, let me see him again!"
Asdor: "And then? Keep him by your side at all costs, is that it? You can't hold him back, even if he wanted to, you still can't keep him."
Qiao Xiao: "Who is it?"
Astor paused, his eyes narrowing slightly. "You can't beat him." He raised his arm, pointing straight to the sky, without uttering a word.
Qiao Xiao looked up in the direction he was pointing, and saw that the sky, which had been covered by white clouds, was now covered by dark clouds.
Qiao Xiao sneered, "What, do you want divine punishment? You think saying something is so terrible?"
Astor immediately said, "He won't punish you."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiao's eyes immediately narrowed, turning into heartache, and she said in a trembling voice, "I know."
“He must have suffered a lot. I’ve only completed less than half of my mission, but I miss him so much.”
Astor refused to speak, saying, "As long as you don't think about him, you'll be fine." He then added, "I intentionally kept it from you before; no one told you the truth. But a year from now, my death is imminent. What harm is there in telling you?"
Qiao Xiao's eyes turned bloodshot. "Asdor, thank you for your advice, but I'm really finding it hard to stay calm right now." She simply sat down on the ground, staring blankly into the distance, and asked, "Can you help me? Is there anything in this world that can keep him by my side, even if there's only a sliver of hope?"
Her eyes were empty and her gaze was vacant, as if all the light wings had cooled down; she knew deep down that they didn't exist.
Asdor lowered his eyes. "I've tried, but to no avail. My abilities are too weak to break through the balance of heaven."
Looking at the heavy snow falling outside, Qiao Xiao asked, "How much longer do I have to wait?"
Back at the castle, Astor opened the library to Qiao Xiao to find answers. He was well-versed in the books there and knew there were no clues, but what if Qiao Xiao could figure something out?
Qiao Xiao studied ancient books diligently, getting lost in the intricacies of the text. She read extensively, gaining knowledge of the past and present, and realized that nothing in this world exists that defies the will of Heaven. Even dragons were created by gods, who have long since disappeared.
She attempted to embark on a quest for the gods with Asdor, soaring across the continent in the form of a dragon, traversing snowy frozen lands, deep sea cliffs, and neon-lit valleys with the force of thunder, but to no avail.
As everyone knows, two dragons traveled through seven kingdoms without rest, coming and going in a hurry, their purpose unknown.
Time passed quietly. One day, Astor awoke with a start. His dream was particularly strange: he was fighting against a human, but he was powerless to fight back and could only witness his own death.
Astor woke up in a cold sweat, quite surprised, as he had never experienced nightmares before.
But then, for a moment, she sighed inexplicably, "Qiao Xiao, it's time..."
When she got up in the morning, Qiao Xiao looked at him with a solemn expression and said bluntly, "I am a dragon slayer."
Astor looked at her calmly. "I know."
Qiao Xiao: "You'll die!"
For so many days, she regarded him as a friend, yet she so easily killed her friend. What kind of beast was she?
Asdor: "But you have to do it."
Qiao Xiao bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes. "There must be other ways. Let's look for more."
No, I finally have a friend, but he's about to disappear.
Astor shook his head. "Heaven rewards diligence, and man proposes, God disposes. Between you and me, we should fulfill a wish for Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, and Qiao Xiao. Only by completing this task can you go to the next world and reshape the plane. This is destiny."
He cast a spell with his bare hands, producing a sharp blade. "This is the most elite weapon in the cave. Use it to cut."
With tears welling in her eyes, Qiao Xiao hesitated to move, clinging to a sliver of hope as she asked, "Will we ever have a chance to see each other again?"
Astair: "If you find him, you will definitely have the ability to bring me back to life."
As dawn broke, a mournful cry echoed through the sky.
A new generation of dragon slayers has awakened and killed the world's most powerful dragon, Astor.
