Chapter 159

The sleeping porcelain doll will eventually awaken, awakening amidst destruction and silence.

"Yi He..." Dongfang Xing's voice was like a March breeze, gently brushing Chen Yi He's tear-streaked face. So faint it seemed nonexistent, yet it truly existed.

Named entities: Yi He, Dongfang Xing, Chen Yi He. Also maybe March is not a name.

Chen Yi He was so overcome with emotion he could not restrain himself; he embraced Dongfang Xing and began to sob, "wu wu wu..."

Named: Chen Yi He, Dongfang Xing.

His efforts were finally rewarded; his hard work finally awakened Dongfang Xing.

Named: Dongfang Xing.

Dongfang Xing smiled happily; the corner of her mouth lifted only slightly, yet even this tiny movement exhausted all her strength, for she was extremely weak.

Named: Dongfang Xing.

She was like a newborn baby, needing care and affection.

No named.

The Palace Master pointed a finger at Dongfang Xing, and a beam of light shot into her body.

Named: Palace Master, Dongfang Xing.

Chen Yi He was startled, he whipped his head around and glared at the Palace Master with the fiercest gaze; at that moment he was like a wild beast prowling the desert, wanting to devour the Palace Master, shouting, "What are you doing?"

Named: Chen Yi He, Palace Master.

The Palace Master said nothing and walked straight past Chen Yi He.

Named: Palace Master, Chen Yi He.

It was Ruan Shu who gave an explanation, saying, "The Palace Master saw that this young lady's body was truly too weak, and specially granted her a stream of true energy to nourish her! Don't overthink it, quickly thank the Palace Master!"

Named: Ruan Shu, Palace Master.

Chen Yi He hadn't even had a chance to thank him when the Palace Master vanished into the Five Absolutes Hall.

Named: Chen Yi He, Palace Master, Five Absolutes Hall.

"How are you... feeling better?" Chen Yi He asked Dongfang Xing.

Named: Chen Yi He, Dongfang Xing.

Dongfang Xing smiled and nodded.

Named: Dongfang Xing.

Dongfang Xing never expected to wake up again, and the first thing she saw upon waking was Chen Yi He! How could she not know the extent of her injuries, or how much effort and suffering Chen Yi He had endured for her?

Named: Dongfang Xing, Chen Yi He.

"That's good... that's good..." All of Chen Yi He's tenderness was given to Dongfang Xing.

Named: Chen Yi He, Dongfang Xing.

When they met again, each had experienced life and death; they were both willing to sacrifice their lives for the other.

No named.

After this experience, they would cherish each other all the more.

No named.

In the Five Absolutes Hall, Chen Yi He tightly embraced Dongfang Xing.

Named: Five Absolutes Hall, Chen Yi He, Dongfang Xing.

No named.

"Giddyap!" the Young Palace Master seized a horse and raced out of the Five Absolutes Palace. Knowing her mother's temper could change at any moment, she feared she might change her mind, so she had to leave as quickly as possible; the farther she went, the better.

Named: Young Palace Master, Five Absolutes Palace. Also maybe mother is not a name.

"Who is that person wearing a half-red skirt?" the sharp-eyed Duan Sheng pointed at the approaching person and asked.

Named: Duan Sheng.

"It looks like someone from the Five Absolutes Palace," the Western Desert Sword Devil said after taking a close look.

Named: Five Absolutes Palace, Western Desert Sword Devil.

Duan Sheng carried a large sword on his back and had a long sword at his waist. The long sword is named the "Zhengzun Sword", the second divine sword of the God Sword Mountain Villa, which he took from the corpse of Huang Sect.

Named: Duan Sheng, Zhengzun Sword, God Sword Mountain Villa, Huang Sect.

Duan Sheng and the Western Desert Sword Devil came all the way from the Eastern Sea without separating; they are lone wandering swordsmen with no family or disciples to worry about, so they were the first to arrive at the Five Absolutes Palace.

Named: Duan Sheng, Western Desert Sword Devil, Eastern Sea, Five Absolutes Palace.

However, they set up camp outside the Five Absolutes Palace, fearing they would disturb its inhabitants and provoke the Palace Master's anger, the consequences of which would be unthinkable!

Named: Five Absolutes Palace, Palace Master.

Not long after they pitched their tent, they saw a beautiful young woman on horseback emerging from the Five Absolutes Palace; her snow-white long legs beneath her half-length skirt were especially eye-catching.

Named: Five Absolutes Palace.

Duan Sheng and the Western Desert Sword Devil truly hadn't expected it; upon seeing her, they were startled and captivated by her beauty. They had seen the world, yet they had never seen a woman like her.

Named: Duan Sheng, Western Desert Sword Devil.

They had never seen this beautiful woman before.

No named.

"The world actually has such a beauty!" Duan Sheng exclaimed, unable to help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

Named: Duan Sheng.

"Damn, we should just grab her, heh..." the Western Desert Sword Devil was already cracking his knuckles, his saliva almost dripping to his chin.

Named: Western Desert Sword Devil.

"Can't you feel her aura?" Duan Sheng asked the Western Desert Sword Devil, shaking his head, and without waiting for an answer added, "This is the Five Absolutes Palace's territory; if we act rashly, we'll come to no good end—such a beauty, we can only look."

Named: Duan Sheng, Western Desert Sword Devil, Five Absolutes Palace.

What Duan Sheng didn't know was that this beauty was precisely the Young Palace Master who had just been expelled from the Five Absolutes Palace! If he knew she had been driven out and had just survived a life-and-death battle, now at her weakest, he would surely regret it to the point of his intestines turning green.

Named: Duan Sheng, Five Absolutes Palace, Young Palace Master.

The Western Desert Sword Devil indeed also sensed the strong absolute true energy emanating from the Young Palace Master, at least at the Fourth Heaven Middle Stage level. "What a pity... what a pity," he muttered, imagining countless scenes in his mind.

Named: Western Desert Sword Devil, Young Palace Master. Also note: Fourth Heaven Middle Stage is a cultivation realm.

"Giddyap!" the Young Palace Master merely glanced at the two strangers and swiftly sped past them.

Named: Young Palace Master.

"Long time no see, it feels like ages!" Yan Shan Hai clasped his fists in greeting while holding his horsewhip.

Named: Yan Shan Hai, Duan Sheng.

"Not to mention Chen Yi He, we can't even see a trace of Yan Shan Hai and his people; I strongly feel we've been deceived."

Named: Chen Yi He, Yan Shan Hai.

Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives.

The idiom "speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives" refers to the historical figure Cao Cao; per the rules, real-world person names are not added to the glossary but should be rendered in pinyin as "Cao Cao". So the translation is "Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives."

Yan Shan Hai arrived. A large banner bearing the characters "Songshan" was raised high, fluttering in the wind. Looking further, a dark crowd followed him; these were his Songshan Sect disciples, riding horses and wielding swords, their spirit like a rainbow, seeming ready to trample the grasslands. Beside him also walked a sturdy-looking monk.

Named: Yan Shan Hai, Songshan, Songshan Sect. Also maybe monk is not a name.

"Huh..." Yan Shan Hai also saw Duan Sheng and the Western Desert Sword Devil; he reined in his horse, waved his hand, and the Songshan disciples behind him also stopped. Then he and the monk rode forward slowly to approach them.

Named: Yan Shan Hai, Duan Sheng, Western Desert Sword Devil, Songshan disciples. Also note that monk is not a name.

"Long time no see, it feels like ages!" Yan Shan Hai clasped his fists in greeting while holding his horsewhip.

Named: Yan Shan Hai, Duan Sheng, Western Desert Sword Devil.

"Yan Sect Leader, long time no see!" Duan Sheng returned the salute with a smile.

Named: Yan Sect Leader, Duan Sheng.

The Western Desert Sword Devil is a carefree person who despises these tedious formalities.

Named: Western Desert Sword Devil.

"Let me introduce, the head of the Shaolin Temple, Master Leshi!" Yan Shan Hai said, spreading his hand.

Named: Shaolin Temple, Master Leshi. Also Yan Shan Hai.

"Namo Amitabha, good, good. I am Leshi." Master Leshi bowed to the two of them.

Named: Master Leshi, personal name Leshi.

"I never expected the Yan Sect Leader to bring all the Shaolin Temple masters here! With the Shaolin Temple's assistance, what do we have to worry about regarding the world's instability?" Duan Sheng laughed as he said.

Named: Yan Sect Leader, Shaolin Temple, masters (generic), Duan Sheng.

"Master Kush died tragically; this grudge must be repaid with blood by Zhang Huayu!" Yan Shan Hai said, then he asked, "Who was that woman who just passed by?" He obviously also noticed the hurried Young Palace Master.

Named: Master Kush, Zhang Huayu, Yan Shan Hai, Young Palace Master.

"Those who came out of the Five Absolutes Palace, we don't even know who she is," Duan Sheng replied.

Named: Five Absolutes Palace, Duan Sheng.

"It probably isn't the Young Palace Master of the Five Absolutes Palace," Master Leshi guessed.

Named: Five Absolutes Palace, Young Palace Master, Master

Very likely.

No named.

Why did she leave the Five Absolutes Palace at this time? By rights, Chen Yi He should already be in the Five Absolutes Palace. Yan Shanhai wondered, and even he, who is usually good at reasoning, didn't know what had happened in the Five Absolutes Palace.

Named: Five Absolutes Palace, Chen Yi He, Yan Shanhai.

Of course, the young palace master's matter is not the key point at present.

Named: Young Palace Master.

The West Desert Sword Devil asked Yan Shanhai, "What about the others? What about the other sects?"

Named: West Desert Sword Devil, Yan Shanhai, other sects.

"They should be arriving soon!" Yan Shan Hai replied confidently.
