Chapter 24: Rebirth

The war was tragic; on the entire battlefield, only one figure was fighting alone. His body was already covered in scars, and several arrows on his chest had pierced through his chest cavity.

Every breath brought bone-piercing pain, accompanied by the trembling of the arrow feathers; he was in so much pain that he was numb.

After a full day of fighting without stopping, the enemy corpses piled up beside him like a small hill, symbolizing his unwillingness and unyielding spirit.

His vision was already blurry, and his body was weak; he waved the hands holding the sword again and again only by the obsession in his heart.

Chi! The sound of a blade entering the body.

He roared, turned around, and killed the enemy, but countless spears were stabbed into his body because of this.

Finally… was it the end?

He fell power lessly, and scenes from the past flashed through his mind.

“Brother Luo Feng, do you really have to go?”

“Xue’er, the flames of war have already burned to the Southern Fortress. If we retreat further, it will be here. I will go to guard the city wall. Wait for me to come back, and we will get married.”

“But, Brother Luo Feng, I worry about you…”

“Xue’er, believe me, I will definitely come back safely and come back to marry you.”

He crashed to the ground. At the last moment before his consciousness disappeared, his lips moved. “Xue’er, I’m sorry, I… broke my promise…”

Letters were passed along layer by layer and reached this peaceful small town. Xue’er opened the envelope with trembling hands, and then tears quietly slid down.

Snow began to fall heavily from the sky, fluttering in the air. Xue’er arrived at the Little Woods on Back Mountain with lifeless eyes and gently stroked two names carved on a tree.

Luo Feng, Bai Xue.

“Brother Luo Feng, it’s snowing again. You said you like snow-white snowflakes because that is my name.”

“Brother Luo Feng, you never lie to me. You said you would come back to marry me.”

“Brother Luo Feng, I will wait for you, wait for you to marry me…”

Spring went and autumn came; time passed, year after year. Every winter, heavy snow would fall from the sky.

The war had ended, and the enemy had been defeated. However, the sweetheart who went to the battlefield never came back.

Bai Xue stood quietly in front of that tree. In the blink of an eye, her hair had turned white.

“Cough… Brother Luo Feng…” Bai Xue’s aged voice sounded. “You lied to me after all…”

…

Time turned back. On the battlefield, the ground was covered with severed limbs and debris; corpses lay everywhere, and smoke from the war rose from time to time.

Suddenly, the fingers of a corpse on the ground moved, and then the wounds on its body disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With a cough, Luo Feng climbed up from the ground. The scenes from just now flashed through Luo Feng’s mind like a movie.

He did not expect that this time traversing, the System would arrange an identity for him, a person with the same name who should have died in battle.

And if he had not traversed here, then the ending would have been Bai Xue waiting lonely for Luo Feng for a lifetime, growing old and dying with no one to rely on.

“Mission: Marry Bai Xue and complete the Wedding Night.”

Xiao Meng’s voice sounded, which instantly made Luo Feng’s complexion turn dark. How could the mission this time be so shameless? The Wedding Night?

Alright, once he married Bai Xue and after the Wedding Night, he would have taken the girl’s innocent body, and then the mission would be complete. Twenty-four hours later, he would be forced to return, leaving her here?

“Xiao Meng, are you sure the mission is correct?”

“The System will not make such low-level mistakes.”

“Then you did that on purpose.”

Counting this world, Luo Feng had already traversed three worlds and obtained one opportunity to take away a character from a world. Luo Feng had originally planned to save it for later when traversing the Divine Eagle world, but the System was clearly forcing him to use it in this world.

If he used it this time, what if the next world was Divine Eagle? Luo Feng would regret it for a lifetime.

“The System will not deliberately scheme against the Host. The Host can choose not to take Bai Xue away.”

Luo Feng’s complexion became even darker. If he really went through with the Wedding Night, how could he not take Bai Xue away? That was a responsibility!

But Luo Feng also knew that arguing with Xiao Meng on this problem was meaningless.

“Xiao Meng, you still haven’t answered the question I asked you in the Real World. What happens if I grow old in this world?”

If the System could solve this problem, Luo Feng could choose to grow old with Bai Xue, and then complete the mission and leave.

Wait, the mission seemed to include the Wedding Night. After growing old together, it seemed there would be no way to have a Wedding Night, right?

But Xiao Meng’s answer made Luo Feng not need to think about this problem anymore. “Then the Host will also die of old age in the Real World.”

Luo Feng’s face changed. “In that case, it’s possible I won’t live for many years in the Real World?”

Just think about it; his classmates around him were in the prime of life, while he would suddenly become old at some moment. At that time, how would he explain it, and how would he survive in the Real World?

More importantly, Luo Feng still wanted to get married and have a child.

“The Host does not have to worry too much. In certain worlds, the Host can get the method of immortality.” Xiao Meng timely gave Luo Feng comfort.

“I hope I can gain immortality in my lifetime!” Luo Feng sighed, then took out clothes from his Ring to change into and walked toward the small village in his memory.

Since getting the System, this was absolutely the day Luo Feng’s mood was the lowest.

Walking on the road, Luo Feng thought that he definitely needed to take Bai Xue away. If he really could not take Li Mochou away, that would be fate too.

And completing the mission in this world definitely would not take too long. After all, the affection between Bai Xue and Luo Feng was already deep.

So, after returning to the Real World, Luo Feng wanted to have a child with Bai Xue, so that if he died in a mission world one day, he would at least have a descendant.

After figuring this out, Luo Feng’s mood relaxed, and then he could not help but get excited. The Wedding Night, huh? Then wouldn’t he… be able to say goodbye to being a virgin?

Luo Feng shamefully had a reaction, and his steps could not help but quicken a bit.

“Stop. If you want to live, hand over all the money on your body.”

While Luo Feng was thinking with his head lowered, a loud shout came.

Luo Feng raised his head. Several burly men were blocking the road with machetes in their hands.

Luo Feng was stunned for a moment, then reacted. This was a war-torn Ancient world, so robbery was very normal.

Luo Feng was very depressed. He had clearly killed thousands of zombies, so why did he not have that legendary murderous aura?

Helplessly, Luo Feng planned to teach the few people a lesson and then continue on his way.

But Luo Feng’s expression quickly became grave. The combat power of this world seemed too high. Just a few robbers made Luo Feng struggle to cope. In the end, the robbers took the initiative to escape, and Luo Feng was also unable to pursue.

Luo Feng originally thought this was just a common Ancient world, but now it seemed it was not that simple. In this world, he needed to be careful and cautious.

Luo Feng continued forward. The sky became gloomy. It seemed that it was going to snow.

From far away, Luo Feng finally saw the small village, and a look of joy appeared on his face. Bai Xue, I am back…

In the sky, snowflakes fell. At the same time, the letter in Bai Xue’s hand also fell. “Brother Luo Feng, Xue’er does not believe you would leave Xue’er.”

Step by step, Bai Xue stepped on the snowflakes and walked toward the Little Woods on Back Mountain…
