Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 293 Zhu Zhuqing finally awakens! Across the vast world, through clouds and mountains, I want to see it all with you.
Li Zhexian's hands trembled slightly.

Holding that wondrous wine that seemed to solidify the very soul.

He raised it to the girl's lips, but then suddenly stopped.

—How can Zhu Zhuqing drink alone in her current state?

He suddenly remembered that year...

The scene of Zhu Zhuqing painstakingly plucking the petals of the Heartbreak Red Flower and feeding them to him one by one.

Think about this.

Li Bai tilted his head back, took the wine into his mouth, and bent down.

The moment their lips touched.

He harbored not a single romantic thought.

The only things that mattered were prayers to the myriad gods and the joy of seeing Zhu Zhuqing awaken.

The glistening wine, mixed with six years of longing, slowly flowed onto Zhu Zhuqing's lips.

"Zhu Qing..."

Memories flood back like a tide:
Li Zhexian recalled the comical scene of his first meeting with Zhu Zhuqing while bathing in the river.

Remembering that it was only their first meeting, Zhu Zhuqing risked her life to lure away the swarm of swordtail scorpions for him.

They drank under the moon and exchanged their ideals.

She was the first person he confided in after he left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in disappointment.

later.

We were separated for two years.

Zhu Zhuqing remembered that he loved wine, so she collected fine wines from the surrounding towns.

Of all the many kinds of fine wines, none can compare to Zhu Zhuqing's Daughter's Red.

She brought him the flower of deepest affection—the red of lovesickness and heartbreak;

She removed his black cloak and changed him into his favorite purple dress;

She replaced the weapon pouch at her waist with a tassel necklace.

"Li Zhexian..."

"You...you said purple has a certain charm..."

"If...if it doesn't look good...I'll go change it right away..."

The whispers of yesteryear still echo in my ears.

Never...

Li Zhexian, who had never cried before, trembled slightly at this moment, and tears streamed down her face as she closed her eyes.

"Zhuqing...I miss you..."

"Please wake up... please..."

"I grabbed a handful of the whitest snow from the North... and I also saved a cup of wine for you from the Slaughter City..."

"I... I can fight against those with titles now... From now on, I will definitely protect myself..."

"The world is vast, with clouds and moon over mountains and rivers, and I want to see it all with you."

Xiao Wu's eyes reddened, and she sobbed softly.

Having been heartbroken by love and affection in the world, she seemed to believe again that deep love can be waited for.

Ning Rongrong was already in tears.

She thought...

Over the past five years, I have tempered my arrogance and paid a heavy price to prove my true feelings for Li Zhexian.

Compared to Qian Renxue accompanying Li Zhexian into the City of Slaughter and bravely venturing into the Rakshasa Secret Realm.

Compared to Zhu Zhuqing, who exhausted her heart and soul for Li Zhexian and remained asleep for six years.

She just realized...

What he called deep affection.

Just how light and superficial it is.

Compared to Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing.

She has a long way to go.

"Brothers, immortals..."

Da Ming and Er Ming looked at each other in silence.

They used to think that all humans were treacherous and cunning.

But Li Zhexian impressed them time and time again.

above the sky.

Feng Bailong, Dugu Bo, and the others watched this scene in silence, sighing with emotion.

"My celestial friend..."

"These years have been truly difficult."

A hint of tenderness for his junior flashed across Feng Bailong's eyes.

Even if he is free-spirited and unrestrained, he is still just a young man in his early twenties.

Dugu Bo also recalled Li Zhexian's desolate and weathered appearance when he returned from the City of Slaughter, and said in a low voice:
"The bitterness and hardship he endured are probably only known to the banished immortal himself."

Fortunately...

"The result did not disappoint the young man."

Gu Rong and Yu Yuanzhen nodded in satisfaction.

Chen Xin, who had been silent all along, gazed at the boy below for a long time. Looking at Li Zhexian below, she closed her eyes with trembling hands and slowly exhaled.

Zheng——!
He suddenly transformed into a beam of sword light and sped away into the surrounding mountains and forests. "Hey, Chenxin, where are you going?"

Yu Yuanzhen spoke up as if to ask a question.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head to stop.

"Let Uncle Jian go."

Even the most hardened swordsmanship can harbor a tender heart.

The last drop of wine flowed into Zhu Zhuqing's mouth.

slowly……

Li Zhexian seemed to hear the sound of a heartbeat.

The sound became clearer and clearer.

The joy almost overwhelmed Li Bai.

He made a move to get up and investigate.

But just as his lips left those soft lips.

Two slender arms, as white as snow, wrapped around his neck.

Their lips, which had just parted, suddenly pressed together again.

"Zhu Qing..."

Li Zhexian suddenly opened his eyes.

She was met with a pair of beautiful eyes filled with tears.

"Li Zhexian..."

Her voice was hoarse and filled with sobs, her kiss was awkward yet passionate, as if she wanted to pour all the longing of six years of separation into this moment.

"In the 684th year of the Martial Soul Era, Lord Sword Wine used divine wine to heal his beloved, and the two embraced each other in a moment of passion..."

"Hey! Wait a minute! I haven't finished memorizing yet! Your Majesty, Poison Douluo!"

"You have to remember this too?!"

A hint of helplessness appeared on Dugu Bo's cold, old face. He grabbed the Soul Master who was writing rapidly on the treetop by the collar and quietly left with Feng Bailong and the others.

Da Ming and Er Ming, along with Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, also kept their distance from the Lake of Life.

This couple, separated yet reunited, are left to pour out their longing for each other.

Half an hour later.

Zhu Zhuqing coughed lightly twice, her pretty face flushed as she lifted her head from Li Zhexian's embrace.

She parted her lips slightly and breathed rapidly:

"I'm... I'm going to burst!"

Li Zhexian wiped his lips with his finger, feeling the familiar floral scent filling his nostrils, and looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a smile in his eyes.

After six years apart, their reunion was marked by such passionate kisses. Now, with Li Zhexian staring at her so intently, Zhu Zhuqing let out a soft moan of embarrassment and buried herself in his arms once more.

With her ear pressed against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, a reassuring smile appeared on her lips.

They nestled together for a long time.

Zhu Zhuqing spoke softly:
“Immortal, I have been able to hear all the sounds from the outside world for the past six years.”

"Xiao Wu spoke to me, whispering all the things you told me after returning from the far north and the City of Slaughter..."

“I’ve heard it all.”

She raised her pretty face, looking at the boy's handsome face, which was just as striking as it had been six years ago, with a mixture of heartache and admiration, and said in a trembling voice:

"Immortal, you've had a long and arduous journey..."

Li Zhe grasped her soft hand and smiled:
"It's all worth it if it means you wake up."

The two stayed together until dawn before leaving the Lake of Life hand in hand.

As soon as they stepped out of the forest path, they saw Chen Xin, Feng Bailong, Da Ming, Er Ming, Xiao Wu and the others sitting in an open space, having breakfast together.

"Xiao Wu! Rong Rong!"

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up.

"Zhuqing! You're finally awake!"

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, with tears in their eyes, ran over and embraced each other.

Li Zhexian did not disturb the three sisters' conversation and went straight to Chenxin and the others.

"Well done."

Chen Xin handed over a piece of roasted venison.

Li Zhexian accepted it, smiling as he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture:

"Thank you very much for protecting us, senior practitioners."

Feng Bailong, Dugu Bo, and the others waved with smiles.

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke:
“Immortal, we just had a brief discussion.”

"With Bibi Dong establishing her kingdom and declaring herself empress, the continent will inevitably be thrown into turmoil again, and the people of the Heavenly Dou Empire will inevitably be restless."

"Perhaps we should also make some moves."

Li Zhexian became interested.

"What's the noise?"

"I hereby bestow upon you a title of honor and will host a grand banquet with Senior Wind Sword."

"Congratulations on your attainment of titled combat power, and on Senior Feng Bailong's breakthrough to a title."

Li Zhexian pondered for a few moments, then nodded and said:
"Then let's do as the seniors have suggested."
