Chapter 1205: Ten Years
To Feng Tian Wu who had lost her memory, Duan Ling Tian was her everything.
Duan Ling Tian had been by her side all this time. Not only did he give her warmth, but he gave her everything.
Being by Duan Ling Tian's side felt like home to her.
She was happy to indulge in Duan Ling Tian's pampering.
Now that the Ling Tian Sect was in trouble, and everyone needed someone in-charge to represent Duan Ling Tian, it was only natural for her to volunteer.
She did not do it for the Ling Tian Sect. She did it for Duan Ling Tian, the man she decided to depend on for the rest of her life.
She would die without regrets if she had to die for that man!
"Your man?" The black-clad young man's face turned somber when he heard Feng Tian Wu's words. He did not seem happy.
He did not expect that the beauty before him would belong to someone else.
Fwah!
Feng Tian Wu's red robes fluttered like a dancing flame suddenly. At the same time, fire began to run rampant on her body before turning into a sword-shaped flame.
A five-foot-long red flexile sword appeared in her hand. As she merged her energy with it, the sword trembled a little and released a crisp sound of sword whistling.
The Heaven and Earth Energy rumbled in the sky before it formed the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon.
Although Feng Tian Wu knew she was no match for the black-clad young man before her, she did not plan to remain idle and wait for death. That was not who she was.
She had to fight with all her might even though she was no match for the enemy!
"I hope you'll keep your words," Feng Tian Wu enunciated each word with her beautiful lips as she looked at the black-clad young man emotionlessly.
"With this little power, you're far behind me." The black-clad young man shook his head when he saw the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon above Feng Tian Wu's head. Her power was not a threat to him.
"However, that's not important... Because I've changed my mind." The black-clad young man revealed a rare smile on his lips. His evil smile gave people goosebumps.
"Hmm?" Feng Tian Wu's raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly when she heard his words.
Meanwhile, everyone was looking at the black-clad young man. They had no idea what the black-clad young man would do next.
Did he regret the promise he made?
Did he still want to destroy the entire Ling Tian Sect?
At this time, many of their expression changed into fear.
"I'm not killing you. I can let the Ling Tian Sect and even Duan Ling Tian go." The black-clad young man looked at Feng Tian Wu with a burning desire. His gaze gave Feng Tian Wu a bad feeling, and her face turned somber.
"Your condition." Feng Tian Wu was stingy with her words.
"Be my woman!" The black-clad young man said. The burning desire on his face remained on his face even when he spoke.
Fwah!
The black-clad young man's words made everyone present gasp.
How dare this Martial Emperor's direct disciple attempt to steal their Sect Leader's woman?
Everyone in the Ling Tian Sect knew the red-clad lady, Feng Tian Wu, was the Sect Leader's woman. Even Feng Tian Wu did not deny this.
"In your dreams!" Two angry screams sounded almost at the same time. It was Gold Thug and Xiong Quan. They were enraged by the black-clad young man's words and glared at him.
This fellow was trying to steal their Master and Young Master's woman?
"Shut up!" The black-clad young man's face turned somber. As he lifted his arm, a majestic energy swept out. Gold Thug and Xiong Quan were sent flying. The ground was speckled with blood that looked like flames.
"I'm sparing both your lives. I'll kill both of you if you dare to say anything again!" The black-clad young man said coldly.
He was only teaching Gold Thug and Xiong Quan a lesson this time. He injured both of them instead of taking their lives.
"What's your decision?" The coldness on the black-clad young man's face disappeared and was replaced with a smile when he looked at Feng Tian Wu again.
"Not happening." Feng Tian Wu narrowed her beautiful eyes. The coldness on her face seemed to have grown, giving off an intimidating aura.
"What? Do you want everyone in the Ling Tian Sect to die?" The black-clad young man smiled. He was threatening Feng Tian Wu with a charming smile on his face.
As soon as he said that, most of the Ling Tian Sect's elders and disciples' expression changed. They thought they could escape death. They did not think the situation would turn around just like that. Their mood fell from heaven all the way to hell in just a blink of an eye.
The Ling Tian Sect's elders and disciples turned to look at Feng Tian Wu. They wanted to know what decision Feng Tian Wu would make.
"Whatever," Feng Tian Wu replied calmly. She did not seem bothered by the black-clad young man's threat.
The black-clad young man was stunned. He did not expect Feng Tian Wu to respond in that way. "Don't you want to protect the Ling Tian Sect for your man? Are you pulling out now?"
Feng Tian Wu ignored the black-clad young man. However, her fearless eyes were the best indirect respond.
What she was trying to say was simple.
She was not afraid to die, but it was impossible for the black-clad young man to have her.
She would rather die than betray the man she loved, Duan Ling Tian.
"Great, great..." The black-clad young man took a deep breath and said 'Great' twice. Many of the Ling Tian Sect's elders and disciples were left in suspense after hearing the black-clad young man's words.
"For the first time in my life, I, Zhou Yi, met a woman whom I really like." Zhou Yi was the black-clad young man. He was the direct disciple of the Martial Emperor from Lost Stone Forest. The way he looked at Feng Tian Wu became more and more passionate. "I'm willing to let go of what happened today."
"I won't kill Duan Ling Tian or anyone in the Ling Tian Sect... But you must follow me to Lost Stone Forest!" Zhou Yi's eyes gleamed as he said bluntly, "Ten years! You'll only have to stay in Lost Stone Forest for ten years... I'll court you in the coming ten years. I won't do anything to you before I successfully make you mine."
"If you still reject me ten years later, I'll grant you your freedom!" Zhou Yi was filled with confidence as he spoke. He was confident that he could make this woman his in within ten years.
Who was he?
He was a direct disciple of a Martial Emperor!
The most powerful disciple of Martial Emperor Shi Qi.
He should kill himself if he failed to woo a lady after ten years.
Ten years!
The place fell silent again after Zhou Yi spoke.
"Miss Tian Wu, don't agree to that," Gold Thug and Xiong Quan who had recovered a lot after consuming Healing Medicinal Pills said to Feng Tian Wu via Voice Transmission.
Ten years.
It was not considered long for a martial artist, but to a young couple, it was way too long. Long enough for one to forget the other. Although one might not forget entirely, it was long enough for the memory to fade.
"Yes, Miss Tian Wu. Please think this through," Zhang San and Luo Ping said.
Although they wanted to live, they would rather die than let such a beautiful lady sacrifice ten years of her life for them.
"This is the best offer I can make... If you're unwilling, I'll kill everyone in Ling Tian Sect! After that, I'll wait for Duan Ling Tian to return before I kill him." Zhou Yi's voice turned cold when he saw Feng Tian Wu's lack of response. His patience was limited after all.
Finally, there was liveliness in Feng Tian Wu's eyes as she glanced at Zhou Yi faintly and said, "Take an oath."
"What? You're worried a Martial Emperor's direct disciple like me is going to go back on my words?" Although Zhou Yi said that, his heart was filled with joy since the red-clad lady before him had pretty much agreed to his condition and was willing to follow him.
Therefore, Zhou Yi cooperated and took the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation oath.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
...
Soon, nine claps of thunder sounded in response to Zhou Yi's oath.
"Lead the way!" Feng Tian Wu said coldly after she saw Zhou Yi taking the oath.
Zhou Yi had not regained his composure. As soon as he snapped back to his senses, he immediately led Feng Tian Wu in the northwest direction.
His destination was Lost Stone Forest!
Zhou Yi left the Ling Tian Sect with Feng Tian Wu just like that. He had completely forgotten about avenging Yang Chun.
To him, Yang Chun's death was nothing.
The most important thing to him now was this beauty whom he liked.
In the coming ten years, he would do everything he could to win this beauty's heart and make her his woman.
However, Feng Tian Wu was just being pragmatic.
She believed her Big Brother Duan would elevate his ability in less than ten years and would come to Lost Stone Forest to save her.
She would treat her time at Lost Stone Forest as an opportunity to cultivate.
She was not worried Zhou Yi would rape her since she could control her energy and explode before Zhou Yi could even do that.
She would rather die than betray her Big Brother Duan. He was the man she treated as her future husband.
She decided to leave with Zhou Yi because she had a plan in mind.
She had two options at the moment.
One was to wait for her Big Brother Duan to save her or for Zhou Yi to release her after ten years as promised.
The second option was death.
However, she had no complaints.
'I'm willing to use ten years of my youth to exchange for your life.' A purple silhouette soon appeared in her mind. A rare warm smile appeared on her lips.
After Zhou Yi left with Feng Tian Wu, the Ling Tian Sect's elders, disciples, two Vice Sect Leaders, Gold Thug, and Xiong Quan looked gloomy.
All of their faces, including the Ling Tian Sect's elders and disciples, did not look too good.
Although they were happy they survived, they could not help but feel guilty when they thought of how they survived due to the Sect Leader's woman sacrificing ten years of her youth.
"I'm afraid Master won't be able to accept this when he returns and finds out about this." Gold Thug's face looked somber, and his heart was heavy.
"Young Master will definitely go to Lost Stone Forest as soon as he returns!" Xiong Quan knew Duan Ling Tian more than anyone else present.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian who was unaware of what had happened was on his way back.
