Are You Also Heartbroken?

The river flows quietly.

The Crow Daoist stood by the river, watching silently.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng's voice slowly rang out.

His tone sounded slightly sad.

"If you love, love deeply; if you don't love, leave."

As the sound rang out, the surrounding mountains and waters inexplicably changed. The spring-like environment suddenly felt like autumn had arrived, with leaves falling and the autumn wind blowing, bringing a touch of melancholy.

Upon hearing these words, the Crow Daoist, whose eyes had been dull and lifeless, stirred slightly.

At that moment, Lu Changsheng spoke with even greater sorrow.

"You were the one who said we should be together back then, and you're the one who says it's over now."

Lu Changsheng's voice became even more sorrowful. In an instant, Crow Mountain appeared extremely desolate, with autumn leaves falling and stirring up a sense of melancholy.

Although these words sounded a little uncomfortable for some reason, Shan Ting didn't know why, but she just felt like crying.

At this moment, the lifeless eyes of the Crow Daoist gradually regained a sliver of color. Although they were still silly and dull, they were at least much better than before.

"For someone like me, it's best to endure sadness alone."

Lu Changsheng's tone became even more sorrowful.

At this moment, the Crow Daoist finally replied.

"I am not worthy of you, I am not worthy of everything about you."

The Crow Daoist turned his bird head to look at Lu Changsheng, his gaze still so dull it was almost laughable.

But Lu Changsheng replied with immense sadness.

"The wind, following you so closely yet so elusively, leaves behind a regret that can never be touched!"

The Crow Daoist.

"I buried a grave in my heart to hold our story."

Lu Changsheng.

"I dare not call it love. It is so great that everything I have seems so insignificant."

The Crow Daoist.

"Without you in the Six Realms, I will laugh through my tears."

Lu Changsheng.

"Our love died before it even began."

Speaking of which...

The Crow Daoist was stunned.

His eyes were filled with tears, which eventually slid down his cheeks and dampened his feathers.

"It seems you are also a heartbroken person."

Finally, the Crow Daoist returned to normal.

His gaze as he looked at Lu Changsheng was filled with a sense of shared suffering.

"I'm just someone who doesn't deserve love! Who are you, senior?"

Lu Changsheng spoke up, asking the Crow Daoist.

"Me? I'm just a silly goose."

The Crow Daoist spoke calmly.

Lu Changsheng: ""

Shan Ting:

"Uh uh"

Lu Changsheng really didn't know how to start the conversation.

You can't exactly say, "Silly Daoist Priest," can you?

"May I ask, senior, do you know about the Devil God Ancient Ring?"

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and asked this question.

However, the Crow Daoist shook his head and said, "Don't ask me, I'm just a fool."

His gaze gradually became vacant again, as if he was about to go dazed. More importantly, a red ahoge (cowlick) on his head actually stood up, prompting Lu Changsheng to speak up.

"Senior, do you have any stories to tell? Perhaps I can help you resolve your troubles."

Lu Changsheng quickly spoke up.

But inwardly, he couldn't help but complain.

Is this idiot crazy? Has he lost his mind?

"A story?" The Crow Daoist paused for a moment, then exhaled and slowly said, "I haven't spoken to anyone for three thousand years. Considering that you are also a heartbroken person, I will tell you a story."

"I would like to hear the details."

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath. Although he really disliked hearing such melodramatic stories, he endured it for the sake of the Devil God Ancient Ring.

Once upon a time, there was a crow. He was extraordinary and famous throughout the six realms. Apart from being a little ugly and a little stupid, he had no flaws.

"Once, this crow encountered a Purple Finch."

One night, the crow fell in love with the Purple Finch.

"The crow just didn't know how to express his feelings. He gave all the things he liked to the Purple Finch, but the Purple Finch didn't like them."

"Later, this Purple Finch fell in love with a magpie. That day, the crow cried and shed humble tears. He thought about killing the magpie."

"But in the end, fearing that Purple Finch would be upset, he chose to let go and grieve alone."

"Waaaaaah! Gaga~"

As the Crow Daoist reminisced about the past, he burst into tears at the end, even convulsing a couple of times.

But this story made Lu Changsheng tremble, because he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Why aren't you crying?

The Crow Daoist wiped away his tears, looked at Lu Changsheng Shan Ting, and a hint of curiosity appeared in his blank gaze.

"Waaaaah! I'm crying!"

Shan Ting buried his head in the mound of earth, his body trembling violently; it was clear he wasn't crying.

"What did the senior give her?"

To avoid laughing, Lu Changsheng changed the subject.

"What did they give? Flood Dragon Meat, Phoenix Tree, and Devil God Ancient Ring."

The Crow Daoist's final words had Lu Changsheng Shan Ting on their toes.

The Devil God Ancient Ring?

"Then may I ask, senior, where is this Purple Finch?"

Lu Changsheng asked curiously.

"It's buried in my heart."

The Crow Daoist said with deep sorrow.

Lu Changsheng: ""

At this point, the Crow Daoist's gaze was about to return to its blank state.

At that moment, Lu Changsheng hurriedly spoke up.

"Didn't you have a proper talk with Purple Finch, senior? To express your feelings or something?"

Lu Changsheng spoke, lest the Crow Daoist fall into his memories again.

Isn't this going to start another round of awkward lines?

Upon hearing this, Crow Daoist indeed came to his senses.

He paused for a moment, then slowly began to speak.

"How could someone as silly as me be qualified to confess my feelings to her?"

The Crow Daoist said this.

This surprised Lu Changsheng.

Who would have thought? This guy is not only a licking bird, but also a licking bird with unrequited love.

"Senior, sometimes, many things are different if they are said out loud. Otherwise, I would like to express your feelings on your behalf, so that no matter what the outcome, at least there will be no regrets."

Lu Changsheng spoke, saying this.

There's nothing I can do; trying to chat with this idiot using normal thinking is useless. I can only go along with his train of thought.

Is this okay?

The Crow Daoist was startled, and a hint of fear immediately appeared in his eyes.

"If I don't say it, it will be a regret in the end. Senior, time waits for no one."

Lu Changsheng was about to vomit.

How many years has an Immortal King lived? How could he still be timid and shy?

How did you cultivate to become Immortal King? Did you trade your intelligence for it?

Uh! You know what, it's actually quite possible.

"I... I... I'm not worthy."

The Crow Daoist was stammering as he sat down on the ground, even showing a shy expression.

Lu Changsheng: ""

Why are you shy?

How big is that bird?

I threw up.

"Senior, that's how relationships are. Don't be shy. How will you know if she doesn't love you if you don't ask?"

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and continued to dissuade him.

At that moment, the Crow Daoist fell silent.
