Chapter 820 - Don’t Make Me Wait For Too Long!

When Yue Yang woke up, he found himself lying on the ground.

Hundreds of bones in his body were aching.

That kind of pain was the same as the soreness that he experienced when his body couldn’t fully adapt to the fast pace of a breakthrough in certain periods. However, this was even more serious.

It seems that the difficulty of winning her over has increased a lot. Yue Yang really felt sad just thinking about it this way.

“I won’t speak nonsense. After the Soul Contract, you know me and I understand you. Besides, who here doesn’t know what kind of person you are!” Zhi Zun approached Yue Yang. They locked eyes, her nose pressed against his nose, her scented lips were only a touch away from Yue Yang’s lips, and the breath of the two met each other. Even if he could kiss her just by moving his lips, Yue Yang still didn’t dare to make a mistake. He didn’t know if Zhi Zun would be angry in the next second, or would she forgive him― both of these results were possible… Zhi Zun stared at Yue Yang for a long time before her plump lips breathed out a sigh gently, and she said something that made Yue Yang almost doubt the ethereal words ringing through his ears: “I’ll give you a chance. I will be waiting for you at the one millionth step, as long as you can climb up to one million!”

“Huh?” Yue Yang filled with a sudden surge of happiness. A huge feeling of surprise had conquered his heart.

“Don’t make me wait for too long!” Zhi Zun turned around and without looking back, she floated away.

She passed by the Night Empress.

No words were exchanged, but the Night Empress seemed to understand Zhi Zun’s mind. Not only did she chuckle, the shadow that bathed in the starry sky also gave a slight bow to say goodbye to Zhi Zun.

Yue Yang hadn’t come back to his senses until the faint fragrance of the Night Empress was blown over to him by the wind.

Looking at his dumbfounded expression, she laughed and said, “How about it? She has set such a goal for you, do you think you have hope for the future?”

Yue Yang woke up from his dream and quickly regained his senses while grasping the back of his head: “One million steps are not easy to achieve. I also know that this promise is her encouragement for me.” The Night Empress’s laughter sounded after the night: “It’s not just an encouragement, she sincerely hopes that you can surpass her… In fact, I understand her very well, little guy. If you want me to give you some encouragement, I won’t need to be as difficult as one million steps, just 500,000 steps will do.”

He started to sweat.

Yue Yang knew that the Night Empress’s words were just teasing him, and yet he couldn’t help but sweat profusely.

“It’s a pity that I can’t be like her. Otherwise, I will also sign a Soul Contract with you.” After the Night Empress laughed, she suddenly said in a straightforward manner: “Why did she take the initiative to sign a Soul Contract with you? In fact, she hoped to share with you the threats of death, to let you understand the responsibility on your shoulders and at the same time give you the greatest support. With every new Soul Contract focused on you, the faster and higher your future growth will be… I don’t think I need to say much about everyone’s expectations of you, so no matter what happens or what difficulties you have, you must always remember that you will never be alone, and you will always have our support!”
