The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 627: Nightfall (Fifth Watch)
The time of happiness is always fleeting.
When night falls, Jiang Nuo clearly feels that his body is becoming more and more insubstantial.
He’s somewhat panicked and scared.
But he doesn’t dare to show it, he still smiles, saying things to make her happy.
And she, she laughs very happily, just to set his mind at ease.
Holding hands, they walk along the path, from day to night, as the stars in the sky light up, illuminating the whole earth.
By the roadside, street lamps are hidden in the night, with a few trees taller than the lamps alongside, where a hint of greenery can be vaguely seen.
Suddenly, Jiang Nuo realizes that his legs are gone. At first, he thinks it’s just an illusion, hurriedly using the nearby light to take a closer look.
After confirming that he really is disappearing, the fear in his heart almost leaps out of his throat.
He’s going to disappear?!
He quickly looks up at Mu Qiuniang.
Seeing she’s about to turn her head, he hurriedly covers her eyes: "Honey~" He suppresses the panic in his heart, continues, "Guess what kind of gift I’ve prepared for you?"
"A gift?" Mu Qiuniang senses something but doesn’t show it, instead following his words, asking, "What kind of gift?"
"Honey, just take a guess, alright? I’ve given you many things before. Try guessing, and if you get it right, I’ll promise you something." As he speaks, Jiang Nuo looks down at his legs.
Below the knees, it has turned transparent.
Although the transparency isn’t accelerating, his legs are disappearing bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye.
By his ear, the urging voice of the Destructive Phoenix is still there: [Jiang Nuo, hurry up, I can’t hold on any longer!]
[Sorry! Please wait a little longer, okay? Just a moment longer.] He says in his heart.
"If I guess correctly, will you really promise me?"
"Hmm, I definitely will."
"Then, will you Ascension with me, okay?" Knowing it was hopeless, Mu Qiuniang still couldn’t help but say those words.
When she said this, Jiang Nuo felt a wet warmth between his fingers. Though his presence was fading, though he should have become numb to her, her tears felt like blades piercing his heart.
One by one, bluntly piercing the tip of his heart.
He so dearly wished he could, as in the past, promise her straightforwardly: "Okay, I’ll Ascension with you."
But, could he make this promise?
The sourness in his throat made it impossible to speak. How was he to tell her that he also wanted to Ascension with her? But there was no chance anymore, he is the Heavenly Dao, and as the world is being destroyed, he too is disappearing, returning...
"Honey... I’m... sorry..."
Tears, once again uncontrollably, flowed from his eyes, making Jiang Nuo’s eyes frighteningly red.
He so wished to retract these tears, to pretend as if nothing had happened, to continue coaxing her to happiness.
But he couldn’t control himself at all.
"I’m sorry... honey..."
Sorry!
There were countless sorries in his heart.
Mu Qiuniang didn’t speak for a long time. Her tears had silently soaked his palm, like pearls off a string, falling drop by drop through his fingers.
The more violently her tears fell, the more her heart ached, and his heart ached in tandem, trembling with pain.
