Chapter Fifty-Three: Release of Emotions

  Shortly after the dragon's disappearance, a green mist floated over from the sky, enveloping something. The semi-transparent green mist suddenly flew into the cave of Purple Tears. When the green mist reached the body of Stormwind, it suddenly burst open, and a white cloud of smoke drifted out, gradually taking on a human form, a black-and-white shadow standing among the flowers...

  Before long, Yang Hao and his party returned to the entrance of the cave where Zi Lei lived. Just as everyone was about to enter, they were stopped by Yang Hao.

  Zi Lei walked into her most familiar residence with a nervous heart. As she walked, she pondered what Yang Hao was going to do??? Was it...was it... Zi Lei couldn't come to a conclusion for herself until she reached the empty space filled with fresh flowers and was stunned by the scene before her eyes.

  A figure she was extremely familiar with appeared before her. This figure she would never mistake, even if thousands of years had passed, she would still recognize it... That... that was Feng's silhouette...

  "Whirlwind... is it you????" Zi Lei suppressed her wildly racing heart and asked softly.

  The shadow slowly turned around, a face that would never be erased appeared in front of Zǐ Lèi. She could no longer bear the turmoil in her heart like a tsunami, and she ran over recklessly. Wanting to throw herself into the arms of the person in front of her, but feeling her body empty, she fell to the ground...

  "Zi Lei, are you okay~~~~?" Ji Feng saw Zi Lei fall down and hurriedly tried to help her up, but it was in vain....

  "Swift wind... swift wind..." Zi Lei's tears gushed out like a spring, she saw the person she had been thinking about day and night again, for a moment she couldn't say a word, her mouth was just constantly muttering the other person's name.

  "Zi Lei, how did I end up here??? I know you still hate me... I'll leave now...." A long-forgotten sharp pain echoed in Ji Feng's heart, he mistakenly thought Zi Lei still hated him, and turned to leave immediately.

  "Hurricane... don't go... listen to me...." Zi Lei saw him about to leave and hastily went forward to try to stop him, but her body didn't steady itself and she heavily fell again.

  The whirlwind stopped in its tracks, turned around with deep feeling, and sparkled with light in its eyes....

  "Gale wind... I... I'm sorry to you, I really am sorry to you, I regret it so much... I really regret it... Can you stay??" Gale wind looked at the tear-stained Zi Lei in front of him, and his thoughts went back a thousand years ago, to that little red fox, kneeling on the stone praying to heaven with an adorable expression.

  "Strong wind... do you know? I miss you so much~~~ I won't let you leave again, whether you're a fairy or a ghost, I'll always be with you...."

  "Don't you hate me anymore?" Feng asked with a worried face.

  "It was my fault, I misunderstood you... but can you give me a chance??" Zifeng heard Zi Lei's words and weakly shook his head.

  "Swift Wind... you... don't love me anymore? You really won't even give me a chance to make amends?" Zi Lei anxiously looked at Swift Wind's shaking head, almost losing her breath and fainting.

  "No... Zi Lei, I love you so much... You are the only one in my heart, now and forever. But we shouldn't be together. The suffering of a thousand years has made me understand that our being together is truly a heavenly punishment. Yu Huang did what he did back then not because he was heartless, but because he feared that if we continued on, there would come a day when the pain would be unbearable. And now that day has arrived... Zi Lei, I know you also love me, but let's not cling to each other anymore. If we continue on, all we'll do is leave each other with eternal pain. It's better to let go... for your sake and mine. Let our beautiful experience become a permanent memory, and let the resentment and suffering of a thousand years dissipate..."

  "Storm, won't you forgive me yet?"

  "Zi Lei, I have never resented you, nor blamed you. I can give up everything for you, even my life, but I don't want to make you suffer anymore, you should live happily..."

  "Are you really going to leave?" Zi Lei asked with a choked voice...

  "I won't leave, I'll always be watching you, wishing you well..."

  “Ji Feng…” Zi Lei weakly called out the name of her loved one. Ji Feng wasn't speaking, but was instead staring at Zi Lei with a stupid smile on his face. At this time, the entire cave was filled with a bright white light, and Ji Feng's corpse slowly turned into countless tiny particles that rose into the air with the wind. And that shadow, which was no longer cold and black and white, gradually gained color as it merged with the particles in the sky... In the end, all the particles returned to the shadow, and Ji Feng now stood before Zi Lei like a real person, his face flushed with life. A golden light descended from the heavens, shining directly on Ji Feng's body, and at this time, Ji Feng's body slowly rose upwards along with the golden light.

  "Zi Lei, cherish the people in front of you... I will always be watching over you, blessing you, protecting you... grasp your own happiness..." Duan Feng said with a smile on his face as he waved goodbye.

  "A strong wind... Wuuu... The charming and elegant appearance of Zili has vanished, replaced by a face full of exhaustion and sorrow that accompanied the departure of the strong wind..."

  "Look quickly~~~~" Yang Hao shouted loudly, and this loud shout startled the tiger head that had just fallen asleep, it was about to get angry when it saw Difei in the golden light...

  "Brother Difu~~~!" Hu Tou shouted loudly at Difu, and this shout was indeed effective. Difu's gaze turned towards Hu Tou, waved his hand in greeting, and then disappeared into the sky along with a flash of golden light.

  "Ah... Hu Feng has finally achieved perfection~~~" Hu Tou stroked his chin with his hand. Suddenly, he felt something was off and looked around himself. Unbeknownst to him, Hu Tou had already transformed into a human form. His square-shaped face had a pair of round eyes that shone brightly, making it hard for people to look directly at him. His well-developed chest muscles and clearly defined abdominal muscles gave off an aura of power. His long legs and sturdy arms made the 190cm tall Hu Tou seem even more towering and unmatched.

  "Wow...Tiger Head, when did you become like this? I need to take a good look..." Yang Hao was also surprised by the changes in Tiger Head and walked around him several times.

  "You... you're Hu Tou??? Ah... so handsome..." Yun Xue hastily ran over to take a closer look at Hu Tou. As a result, when Hu Tou turned around and faced her directly, she only then realized that she had overlooked a crucial problem...

  "Oh my~~~ you... you're so... " Yunxue had only taken two steps before she turned bright red and turned her back to him. It turned out that Hu Tou was now stark naked, not wearing a single piece of clothing. Kairui couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight. However, in her heart, she also deeply admired Hou Long's character - his words were truly powerful, and now Hu Tou's physique was absolutely stunning, unmatched by anyone else. Compared to him, even Yang Hao paled in comparison."

  "He... he's that tiger!" Black Cow circled around the tiger head, constantly sizing him up with a left and right glance. But in his heart, he was thinking...

  "This crocodile is really formidable, it seems that my wish will soon come true... Hehe"

  "Alright, alright, Hei Niu, get a set of clothes for him. Hurry up and put them on... A 190cm tall big shot can't just walk around with his butt exposed." Yang Hao's words reminded Hei Niu, who then helped Hu Tou put on a Nike outfit - black sportswear, white travel shoes, and a duck tongue cap, giving Hu Tou an energetic look.

  "Ah... Ah... People rely on clothes, huh? Tiger Head, you look stunning! Much more handsome than our family's Yang Hao..." Yun Xue said as she walked over and patted Tiger Head's arm casually after seeing him put on his clothes.

  Hu's head couldn't say a word, Zhang's mouth was smiling foolishly...

  "Alright, alright... If I had a physical body, he wouldn't be able to find me anywhere... Besides, when did I become one of your family members??? Get rid of this, Miss Han. From now on, speak clearly and distinguish between us. Even if you don't want to, that would only happen after you change your surname to Yang..."

  "You...". Yunxue's face turned red with embarrassment and anger on the surface, but in her heart she was still quite happy, especially with Yang Hao's last sentence.

  Zi Lei didn't know when she had already walked out of the cave entrance. She saw the changed Tiger Head, but he didn't have any expression, maybe he wasn't in the mood to care. After a slight pause, she gestured for everyone to go inside and talk.

  "Yunxue Kerry, you two go in and accompany Zilei for a while... We men still have something to do..." Yunxue glared at Yang Hao before following Kerry into the cave.

  "What are you going to do?!" Hu Tou looked at Yang Hao with a puzzled expression...

  "Tiger head, I'm asking you... Do you know if there's anything in the underworld that can bind you?"

  "Tie me up? Tie me up... Let me think for a moment... Ah... I remember now. There's something that can tie them up, whether they're ghosts or demons, even gods..."

  "Ah? Really? Ah? Quick... Tell me what it is~~~~" Yang Hao asked with a face full of excitement.

  "Devil-sealing lock... As long as you're bound by it, your magical powers will be completely lost. Even a powerful deity like the Mahārāja cannot escape..." The tiger-headed man slowly explained...

  "That's great, quick...quick...contact your brother and borrow the Demon Lock to use..." Yang Hao said excitedly on the side. Hu Tou heard Yang Hao's words and reluctantly took out the Tongyou Command Token. Zhong Kui heard that it was for Yang Hao's use and didn't ask much. Soon, someone was sent over with it...

  "Hehe... everything is ready, just waiting for the east wind~~~~"

  "What are you going to do, Ah? Brother Yang???"

  "Hooking a fish..." Yang Hao took the Demon Lock and responded with a mischievous smile.
