Playing a DPS Role with Absolute Defense-Chapter 323 - 321: Alive!

"Master~"

At the sound of his own voice, Li Yuanhao finally couldn’t help but cry out loud.

For twenty years, ever since that incident, he thought he had matured enough that no matter what happened, he wouldn’t cry out loud again.

But at this moment, he knew he was wrong. Seeing the person before him in such a state, he ultimately couldn’t hold it in any longer.

"Yuanhao, you’ve come."

The voice was extremely hoarse, clearly the person speaking hadn’t spoken to anyone for a long time.

"Master~"

"Alright, don’t cry. You’ve grown up, you’re a big girl now, crying won’t look good on you."

The voice was still so hoarse, even somewhat harsh, yet even in such a predicament, Bai Yuanhao still comforted Li Yuanhao.

Li Yuanhao reached up to wipe away the tears on his face, smudging off the light makeup he had just applied.

His trembling hand reached out towards Bai Yuanhao’s direction.

Seeing Li Yuanhao’s action, Xuan Wuji immediately stopped him: "You can’t, Yuanhao, there’s a Daoist-level restriction set here, moving recklessly could be life-threatening."

At the same time, Bai Yuanhao also spoke, "Yuanhao, don’t move, it’s dangerous!"

Li Yuanhao’s hand froze in midair, but he was reluctant to withdraw it.

He wanted to say something, but his throat was choked up, preventing him from uttering a complete sentence.

"What’s there to grieve over? Your master, I, have been through such wounds before, and besides, I’m not dead yet. At least I’m not like that old guy who pretended to be dead to deceive his own disciple.

Would you say your master is better than that old guy?"

At this moment, Bai Yuanhao was still comforting Li Yuanhao, even joking about Tu Hongwu.

But Li Yuanhao couldn’t muster even a slight smile, tears streaming down his face as if they cost nothing, wiping them away only for them to flow again.

"Yes, Master is the strongest!"

"Haha, speaking of that old guy, I heard he went to the Buddhist Sect, quite bold.

However, that’s just his style. Initially, I wanted to see him once, but in the end, there was no opportunity."

Speaking till here, Bai Yuanhao paused for a moment and then continued, "Have you found Su Mo?"

Li Yuanhao shook his head tearfully, "No, still not a shred of news, and he hasn’t visited our former cosmos."

Bai Yuanhao was silent for a long time, struggling to lift his head, but it drooped as though it had lost strength.

"Yuanhao, after so many years with no news, your king might already be dead.

Though even I must admit he was truly strong, wielding the power to battle against eight Daoist Masters when your cosmos just matured. Even in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, that’s absolutely formidable.

Unfortunately, your cosmos can’t sustain a Daoist Master-level being. The reason he had the power to battle eight Daoist Masters might be because he burned through his own life.

So,..."

"Nonsense, how could he be dead! He’s our king! He’s also my..."

Before Li Yuanhao could finish, Bai Yuanhao shouted angrily, "Yuanhao!"

Xuan Wuji’s brows knitted deeply, clearly indicating that Li Yuanhao intended to say something but was stopped.

"Master, I~"

Bai Yuanhao’s head jerked up sharply, causing the chains on his body to jingle violently. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Blood dripped continuously from his wounds, making a ticking sound.

With hollow eyes, he aimed his empty gaze at Li Yuanhao, speaking each word with effort, "Live, wait for him to return. I am waiting, they are waiting, you must wait too!"

After speaking, Bai Yuanhao’s head drooped again, apparently having exhausted all his strength in saying these words.

Having been closely observing Li Yuanhao’s expression all along, Xuan Wuji, who was already in a foul mood, now felt even worse and immediately spoke:

"I told you, the person you’re looking for has long since died. Why dwell on a dead person?"

He initially wanted to say that someone from a Little Cosmos, considering Li Yuanhao’s talent, would surely surpass him.

But those words were stuck in his throat and he couldn’t say them.

Though he was quite proud, he had to admit Su Mo’s feat of battling against eight Daoist Masters was a remarkably brilliant achievement, even in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

Even many Daoist Masters in their lifetime never managed to kill someone of the same level.

Upon reaching the level of a Daoist Master, they had already become one with the heavens, and none would risk their lives for mere benefits.

Besides the Daoist Venerable, they were already the most powerful beings under the heavens.

If they lost their benefits, they could strive for more, because their lifespan was infinite. But if they lost their lives, it would truly be over.

Such was the understanding among all Daoist Masters in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands; many even pitied the eight Daoist Masters.

With infinite lifespans, they fell due to a native from a Little Cosmos, losing their lives there, what a pity.

Even if that person ultimately perished, they still felt it was a pity.

"Shut up, I won’t allow you to speak of him like that!"

Xuan Wuji’s expression turned slightly angry, a fierce glint flashed between his eyes, and a terrifying energy quickly gathered in his hand, as he slapped, leaving a clearly visible handprint on Li Yuanhao’s face.

Five red marks appeared grotesquely on Li Yuanhao’s delicate face.

"You wretched servant, you should be aware that you’re about to become my Taoist companion, yet you repeatedly oppose me for a dead man.

Were it anyone else, I’d have torn them to pieces already.

Little Martial Uncle, I call you Little Martial Uncle as a mark of respect, hoping you’ll wisely advise Yuanhao not to do anything foolish.

Now, take the time to calm down here, in half an hour I’ll send someone to fetch you, to proceed directly to the great hall for the wedding!"

Having spoken, Xuan Wuji was about to leave, but not before securing Li Yuanhao in place, rendering him immobile to prevent any impulsive actions.

Flames of anger blazed fiercely in Li Yuanhao’s eyes, wanting to struggle, but was unable to move at all.

The seal of a Daoist Master was such that with his current strength, he had no chance to resist.

After Xuan Wuji left, Bai Yuanhao raised his head and with hollow eyes looked forward, "Yuanhao, I’ve failed you as a master, being incapable of protecting you.

However, I hope you don’t do anything foolish. You’ve grown up, you ought to consider the consequences before acting.

At the very least, before he returns, you must live. Only living offers hope.

But if you still wish to go ahead, then Master supports you! I will find a way to survive until the day he arrives..."

Bearing the intense pain, his face twisted, Bai Yuanhao finished these words before finally succumbing to unconsciousness.

Silent tears fell from Li Yuanhao’s eyes, trailing down her delicate face, crossing the clearly visible red handprint.
