Fairy Tail: I Am the God

Before leaving, Chi Lian turned her head and glanced at Wei Zhuang's room, her gaze unwavering.

Chi Lian said to herself, "Wei Zhuang, my whole life has been dedicated to you. I hope to use all my strength to help you and relieve your worries!"

Chi Lian's words, though seemingly humble, actually clearly demonstrated her determination and goals. If one can have a steadfast purpose in life, then life has not been in vain.

Chi Lian is going all out this time; she's going to use this sword to settle the score in Wei Zhuang's heart.

Chapter 1236 The Era of Dragons, The Man Who Hunts Dragons

Chi Lian found out Gai Nie's whereabouts and knew when he was relaxed, so that she could take advantage of the situation.

However, Chi Lian is clearly arrogant and conceited. If Gai Nie were so easy to deal with, wouldn't Wei Zhuang have killed him long ago?

Chi Lian naively believed that everything was under her control, and she was slowly getting closer to Gai Nie.

What Chi Lian didn't know was that all his actions were actually under Gai Nie's control. As soon as he entered Gai Nie's territory, he was already being monitored.

The target was right in front of Chi Lian. Just as Chi Lian swung her sword, preparing to stab Gai Nie, she was suddenly injured by Gai Nie instead.

Meanwhile, Wei Zhuang, seeing Chi Lian run away dejectedly, also felt very sad.

Wei Zhuang knew that Chi Lian would do some dangerous things after she went out, so he had someone secretly monitor and protect her beforehand.

Wei Zhuang was furious that Chi Lian acted so impulsively so quickly, especially against the very powerful Gai Nie.

Wei Zhuang's informant told Chi Lian that after being injured by Gai Nie, Wei Zhuang quickly located Gai Nie and came to demand her return.

At this moment, Chi Lian was bound hand and foot, and her mouth was gagged with cloth. When she saw Wei Zhuang come to rescue her, tears streamed down her face, and she began to struggle violently.

Wei Zhuang glanced at Chi Lian with heartache, then glared at Gai Nie with a fierce look.

Gai Nie said to Wei Zhuang with a half-smile, "Wei Zhuang, I always thought you were a heartless person. It turns out you do have someone you care about. Now I'm going to slowly torture her!"

As Gai Nie spoke, he took out a sharp dagger and waved it at Chi Lian's face. Chi Lian's eyes widened in shock; she was terrified that Gai Nie would ruin her beautiful face.

Chi Lian shook her head violently in fear. When Wei Zhuang saw Gai Nie trying to scratch Chi Lian's face, he immediately stopped him: "Don't hurt her! If you have any problems, come at me!"

Gai Nie turned his head and looked at Wei Zhuang with a smile, as if he had grasped Wei Zhuang's weakness: "Hahahaha, I know you hate me very much, but you can't do anything about me!"

Gai Nie turned and left, no longer tormenting Chi Lian. After throwing down the dagger, Gai Nie said to his men behind him, "Release Chi Lian! Don't make things difficult for them anymore, let them go!"

Wei Zhuang still held some respect for Gai Nie, but they had a deep history together; Gai Nie was his mortal enemy.

After Wei Zhuang took Chi Lian away, he didn't say a word to her the entire way, and his expression was full of anger.

Chi Lian sensed that Wei Zhuang was truly enraged this time, and realized she had perhaps acted rashly. Upon returning home, Wei Zhuang ignored Chi Lian and immediately ordered his men, "Lock Chi Lian up! Don't let her step out of the room!"

Just as Chi Lian was about to persuade Wei Zhuang, Wei Zhuang suddenly turned his head, looked at Chi Lian with a sharp gaze, and said: "You must not act on your own in the future, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

And so, Wei Zhuang's men took Chi Lian away, locked her in a room, and shut the door.

After this incident, Chi Lian's hatred for Gai Nie intensified.

All that Chi Lian has done over the years is to make Wei Zhuang smile, but now Chi Lian sees Wei Zhuang angry with her because of Gai Nie.

Chi Lian clenched her fists again, determined to help Wei Zhuang kill Gai Nie.

Chapter 1237 Triggers the Fairy Tail World Quest, Exploding Points Rewards

Bai Feng advised Chi Lian against doing this, because it was a loss of dignity and would invite gossip and slander.

However, Chi Lian ignored Bai Feng's advice and was determined to kill Gai Nie.

After you encounter Gai Nie, you can obtain the Sect Leader's Token. Although many people will talk behind your back during this process, they will shut up once you actually obtain the Token.

After all, as long as you are strong enough, any wrong thing you did before can become right.

This has always been the case: once you succeed, all the mistakes you made in the past will be minimized.

However, if you fail, all the mistakes you made will be magnified infinitely and criticized, becoming a laughing stock for all time.

He had no choice but to fight with his back against the wall. If he obtained the sect leader's token, all those problems would disappear, and everyone would respect him. But if he failed, he would inevitably be ridiculed.

"I will not give up on fighting for the Sect Leader's Token. That thing is my life's belief. Do you know how much power I can have if I get it? If I don't have that Sect Leader's Token, I feel like I am nothing."

"But have you considered what the consequences would be if you failed and didn't obtain the sect leader's token? The consequences would be that you might leave this place forever and be ridiculed by the world."

"I don't care. Behind every successful person, there's always something that's been ridiculed. Either I'll be ridiculed forever, or I'll rise up from that ridicule and eventually make all those who mocked me bow down before me."

"You're hopeless! How did you become like this? Is power really that important to you? Wouldn't it be better to be an upright person?"

“I know it’s good to be an upright person, but this world is just that cruel. Without strength, you can’t stand firm; it’s a world where the strong are respected,” Chi Lian said to Bai Feng.

"But besides power, we also have friendship and family. We can have many good friends. Aren't these more important than your so-called power?"

"All I know is that without strength, your friends might betray you, your lover might betray you, and you might even be unable to protect those you love. The only way to live a better life is to become stronger," Chi Lian said without hesitation.

"Incurable. Since you think that sect leader's token is more important than anything else, then go ahead. Anyway, you don't consider everyone your friends. You only care about yourself." After saying that, Bai Feng turned and left without looking back.

Watching Bai Feng's departing figure, I felt a little lonely for some reason, but this loneliness quickly dissipated with the wind.

After all, obtaining the sect leader's token is the most important thing in my current goal. As long as I get the token, Bai Feng will come back, and then I will personally apologize to him.

However, is that what Bai Feng really thinks? Perhaps in his heart, certain emotions have been completely exhausted, and that's often the case.

Chapter 1238 Zeref's Attention

Some people don't leave because they initially intended to, nor because they suddenly decided to leave one day. Rather, it's because they endured too much disappointment and grievance in a place, with a person, or in a situation, and ultimately chose to leave.

Chi Lian was determined to kill Gai Nie and obtain the sect leader's token she had long desired, so she secretly plotted all of this.

Wei Zhuang also vowed to do everything in his power to revive the Seven Kills Sect. Reviving the Seven Kills Sect is not something that can be done in a short time. He needs to recruit soldiers and horses and win over talented and capable people.

Everyone is working hard for what they want in their hearts.

Gai Nie knew that many eyes were watching him, since he was holding the sect leader's token.

This thing is a treasure in the hands of a strong person, but it's a hot potato in the hands of some people, and they can't just casually pass it on to others.

During this time, Gai Nie dared not go out casually, let alone go to some remote places alone, because who knows if there is a knife hidden in those corners where no one can see it?

Although I am not afraid of death, this is also a kind of faith. How can I treat it lightly?

Chi Lian sent people to keep an eye on Gai Nie 24 hours a day, with the aim of tracking her whereabouts so that she could take advantage of the situation.

However, Gai Nie was no pushover either. He never went anywhere else and stayed in one place every day, seemingly a coward who feared death.

Gai Nie knew in his heart that the person who wanted to kill him the most was Chi Lian, but he had no evidence and could not slander others.

What I need to do now is not to give anyone a reason to criticize me, and not to run around recklessly. As long as I don't give him a chance, I will be safe.

Although this sect leader's token is both poison and antidote to his poison, he is safe as long as it doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

After all, as long as he hid that thing well enough that they couldn't find it, he would be safe. Therefore, Gai Nie hid the sect leader's token in a place that only he knew.

The Snow Maiden has been searching for Gao Jianli, but has yet to find him.

Xue Nu went to all the places Gao Jianli might have gone, but to no avail. However, in the process of searching, she kept asking around and getting clues from other people's conversations.

He followed the clues given by those people, searching bit by bit. Sure enough, his efforts paid off, and he found Gao Jianli in a tavern.

When they found Gao Jianli, he was pouring wine into his quilt, his sword was placed next to his wine table, and he was sitting there alone.

Even though he was just sitting there alone, he seemed like a vast army, making people afraid to approach him. The wine poured into the glass made a crisp gurgling sound.

"I've finally found you! Do you know how hard I've searched for you? And here you are, sneaking off here alone to drink!" the Snow Woman said.

"Oh? Then why did you come to me crying like that? If coming to me is such a difficult thing, why did you do it? And if you did it, why do you say it's a difficult thing?" Gao Jianli said calmly.

As he spoke, Gao Jianli picked up his wine cup and drank the wine in one gulp.

Chapter 1239 Acnologia's Descent

Seeing Gao Jianli's almost dejected state, Xue Nu's beautiful eyes darkened slightly. She crossed her legs slightly, drank the wine in her cup in one gulp, and then gently opened her lips:

"Finding you was certainly hard work. Do you know how much effort I put into finding you? I traveled thousands of miles, to deserted places, enduring frost, snow, scorching sun, and sweltering heat."

I've traveled thousands of miles; I'm sure you know the hardships I've endured. But why did I still come to find you?

The Snow Maiden paused, her beautiful face suddenly changing, her expression becoming somewhat desolate. She gently opened her lotus-root-like left arm, stroking her fair neck with her left hand, her eyes revealing a thoughtful look.

Gao Jianli silently watched Xue Nu. Seeing her silent and dejected, he poured himself another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

As dusk settled and the twilight deepened, Gao Jianli resembled an old man on his deathbed, devoid of life in the twilight. Perhaps in the next second, the candlelight of his soul would quietly flicker out.

Even those who practice martial arts, without their vital energy, are like ordinary people without a soul, and it is difficult to see any trace of their vibrant vitality.

Finally, after a long silence, the Snow Maiden suddenly curled the corners of her mouth, glanced at Gao Jianli with her eyes slanted, and her red lips shone even brighter in the light streaming through the window.

"Yes, why would I come looking for you? Isn't it just because I want to see you again and ask you why you left like that? You didn't even leave a letter."

Do you know how empty my heart felt after you left? It felt like a piece was missing. I don't know why I came to find you, but I knew I had to.

A look of longing appeared in Xue Nu's eyes as she recalled the days gone by and the Gao Jianli she remembered.

"Do you remember how spirited you were back then, how calm and composed you were in the face of a formidable enemy, how much you believed in yourself, and how radiant your confidence was?"

Gao Jianli listened to Xue Nu's words, shook his head and chuckled, poured himself another cup of wine, and drank it down.

He slumped back in his chair, like an unfortunate person who had accepted reality, shrouded in despair.
