Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Chapter 834: Are you angry with me?

TL : BluVerse

"My mother is sick," Lan Menqin said softly.

"What?" Qian Lei was shocked. "What illness? Is it serious?"

Lan Menqin nodded gently, "It's very serious, even Senior Biji can't treat it. It's an inherited disease in our family. After the age of 40, it's possible to appear. Our clan leaders have extremely high talents, but they also seem to have a curse. No one has ever lived past 50. My mother is indeed sick. Senior Biji said it's because of the lack of some special components in the bloodline. Even the highest technology in the Federation is useless in this regard. Supplementing life energy is also useless. The more you supplement, the more you lose. I'm my mother's only daughter and will inevitably be the next clan leader. I have no choice but to go back, inherit her position, and protect our people. I have no choice. And, I hope to be with her in her last few years."

"Qian Lei, I'm not unwilling to take responsibility. I know how good the academy has been to me, and how much it has helped me. Besides, I can't bear to leave everyone behind. But I have no choice. Captain is right. I shouldn't be selfish and try to enter the Inner Court. I've thought about it clearly just now. After the graduation exam, I will go back. I will accompany my mother and be by her side until the end. I will be with my father and help her through her final days. After she's gone, I will be the leader of my clan."

Qian Lei listened in a daze, and his nervousness gradually eased. At this moment, he only felt an immense pain in his heart. Lan Menqin had never told anyone about this before, she had silently endured it all. If it weren't for his familiarity with her, and sensing that something was off, he wouldn't have noticed her troubles. Now that he heard her speak about it, Qian Lei really had the idea of doing everything he could to help her.

"If you're not taking the exam anymore, then I won't either. I'll go back with you and accompany you to take care of your mother and protect your clan. Although I'm not as strong as you, I can still be of help." Qian Lei said without hesitation.

Lan Mengqin shook her head and said, "Are you silly? Don't you understand? I can't. Falling in love with me is not a good thing for you. My dad knew that my mom might not live past fifty, but he still insisted on being with her. But my mom told me she regretted marrying him and bringing him back to our clan. If she hadn't, their relationship wouldn't have been so painful, and my dad wouldn't be suffering like this. My mom was right, if you truly love someone, you must know how to let go. Like her, I can't escape from the fate of dying before fifty. So, we are impossible, and I don't want to harm you. Moreover, everyone still has the challenge to become the Shrek Seven Monsters. We finally got this qualification, and if I quit, you still have a chance to let Ding Zhuohan or Bing Tianliang take my place. But if you leave too, I would feel guilty towards everyone."

Today, telling you all this, is actually to tell you that it's impossible between us. Please keep it a secret for me. I don't want everyone to feel sad because of me. Since it's already irreversible, I will take the initiative to bear it. Do you understand what I mean?"

Qian Lei looked at her, his eyes somewhat dull.

Lan Mengqin lowered her head and continued, "The clan's inheritance must continue. If you are willing, before I leave the academy, I will give myself to you. Even get pregnant with your child. We won't see each other again in the future, so let me stay in your memory, leaving only a beautiful memory. I'm really happy to be with everyone these years"

Just as Lan Mengqin was speaking, suddenly, a roar rang out: "Lan-Meng-Qin-" freew(e)bnovel.com

Lan Mengqin was startled by the sudden loud noise and looked incredulously at Qian Lei.

At this moment, Qian Lei had completely changed, as if he had transformed. He stared at her with red eyes, like an angry lion.

"Do you know what you're saying? Do you know? You're trampling on my love for you and everyone's feelings for you."

He stood up abruptly, walked up to Lan Menqin, pulled her up from the chair, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, bent down, stared at her up close, and angrily said, "Why didn't you say anything when something happened? Why didn't you let everyone face it together? This is Shrek Academy, where we have many god-rank seniors. We all have our own abilities. Why can't we solve the problem on your mother's body?"

"Taking a step back, what nonsense are you talking about? Couldn't I do what your father did for your mother? Where am I lacking compared to your father's love for your mother? Even if you can only live for fifty years, so what? I'm willing to accompany you. Sadness in the future is a future matter. If I lose you now, I will be sad now, and I don't want to live anymore. Do you understand?"

"You think that by separating from me now and ignoring me, you're doing me a favor? Let me tell you, I have only ever liked one person in my life, and that is you. I will never, ever be able to love anyone else. Without you, I can never be happy, do you understand? I don't want just your body, I want all of you, your heart, your soul, your everything. Wherever you are, I'll be there. Whether it's a mountain of knives, a sea of fire, or the vastness of space. I will die by your side, anyway, I've already attached myself to you in this lifetime, and you can't push me away, you can't. I belong to you, from the moment I saw you."

After saying these words, Qian Lei couldn't help but breathe heavily, his eyes turning red.

He was over two meters tall, with broad shoulders and explosive muscles in every part of his body. Lan Mengqin was only 1.7 meters tall and had a slender figure. Being grabbed by him on the shoulder was like a pitiful little beauty about to be devoured by a wild beast.

Lan Menquin stared straight at him, feeling the anger bursting out from him, and murmured in disbelief, "Are you scolding me?"

Qian Lei was stunned. The overwhelming aura he had just now disappeared almost instantly like melting snow. His expression suddenly froze, and the next moment, he seemed to realize what he had done. He quickly let go of Lan Menqin's shoulders and stuttered, "No, I, I didn't. I wouldn't dare"

"And you still say you wouldn't dare?" Lan Menqin's voice raised a bit.

Qian Lei's expression collapsed instantly, and there was no trace of the imposing manner he had before as if he had turned from a lion into a lamb in an instant.

"I wouldn't dare! You know, I wouldn't dare. I was just a little excited, and I'm afraid you won't want me and will leave me. I was wrong, Mengqin, I was wrong"

Lan Mengqin snorted disdainfully, "Look at you, so spineless. Weren't you acting tough just now?" Although she said this, a smile gradually appeared in her eyes. But tears were starting to accumulate within that smile.

Seeing her like this, Qian Lei became even more at a loss, not knowing what to do and his body trembling in anxiety.

"Twice, you made me cry twice today, you fatso." Lan Mengqin suddenly stepped forward and hugged his waist again, tightly, even tighter than before in front of the dormitory.

At this moment, in her heart, there was only one thought: priceless treasures are hard to find, but true love is even harder.

Qian Lei reacted much faster this time, quickly embracing her, holding onto someone he regarded as precious as a rare gem, his expression no longer urgent but showing a foolish, silly smile.

She cried twice, but she also hugged me twice!
