Chapter 854 843: Love Waiting Ten Thousand Years

Su Zhijun finally returned to her cold and aloof demeanor as the Goddess, a stark contrast to her shy behavior upon first meeting Bai Yan, which was merely the result of her longing.

For ten thousand years, she stayed in this little wooden house, waiting for Bai Yan to be reincarnated and return.

All because of one sentence Bai Yan said before he left.

Back then, Bai Yan said, "Wait for me to come back, and I'll definitely marry you and make you my wife!"

But who would have thought that Bai Yan's departure would last ten thousand years!

In these ten thousand years, Su Zhijun transformed from a little girl into the Goddess of the whole Endless Star Sea, from carefree to serene and taciturn.

All of this was caused by Bai Yan.

"Zhi Jun... is it okay if I call you that?"

Bai Yan and Su Zhijun sat in front of the small wooden house, watching the planets orbiting the house in the void, and Bai Yan couldn't help but speak.

"It's alright, you used to call me that."

Su Zhijun didn't turn her head, afraid that another look at Bai Yan would bring back her girlish demeanor.

"Hmm, did you really wait here for me for ten thousand years? Why not try to find me?"

This was the most perplexing question for Bai Yan. Logically speaking, Su Zhijun's strength should not be inferior to that of his brothers. Ten thousand years of cultivation had made her extremely powerful.

It could be seen from the jade bracelet Bai Yan gave her back then.

In ten thousand years, Su Zhijun had nurtured that jade bracelet into a magic artifact of postnatal spiritual treasure level.

This was a weapon with an artifact soul, second only to an innate spiritual treasure.

Its swift voyage across thousands of miles of void to repel a supreme being was testament to its power.

Bai Yan's question made Su Zhijun's face suddenly freeze; with a mix of three-parts anger and seven-parts bashfulness, she looked at Bai Yan and said irritably.

"It's all because of you! If you hadn't asked me to wait here for you to come back... back... to marry me..."

"How could I have waited here for ten thousand years! It's all your fault!"

"And... what if I went to find you and you came back and couldn't find me?!"

The ten thousand years of waiting made Su Zhijun think through many things. She had once been hesitant to express her feelings for Bai Yan due to their different statuses, but now she understood.

If one can't follow their heart, what use is there in cultivating such power; it would be like attaining it in vain.

So upon seeing Bai Yan again, she no longer held back her excitement and directly rushed into Bai Yan's embrace.

Just like that little girl in front of Senior Bai back then.

"Uh... it's my fault, I'm to blame, I shouldn't have left for so long."

Bai Yan took the opportunity to move a bit closer, sitting right beside Su Zhijun, reaching out to embrace her.

Yet for some reason, Bai Yan still withdrew his hand.

It's not that he didn't like Su Zhijun. As the Goddess of the Endless Star Sea, her beauty was unmatched across the vast cosmos.

Of course, excluding those species with peculiar aesthetics.

Faced with such a beauty, how could Bai Yan, one who knew the taste of such allure, not be tempted.

Yet he still faltered, and Su Zhijun felt his hesitation.

In that moment, both their faces showed a hint of gloom.

Bai Yan knew he was troubled by the tangled karmic ties of his past lives, unsure of his true feelings for Su Zhijun.

Did he like her for her beauty, or was it because of her millennium-long love waiting for him!

Bai Yan wasn't sure, but Su Zhijun was very certain.

Her power far exceeded the current Bai Yan, nearly reaching the realm of a Quasi Emperor! Bai Yan's actions couldn't escape her Divine Thought.

But she allowed Bai Yan to sit beside her, and even accepted the notion of him holding her, letting her weary heart find a shoulder to rely on.

Yet Bai Yan still didn't do as she hoped.

A flicker of imperceptible sadness crossed her eyes, but Su Zhijun understood why Bai Yan acted this way, knowing how much he weighed in her heart.

So she leaned over, vowing from now on not to let Bai Yan escape again, determined to keep him by her side!

Su Zhijun gently rested her lovely head on Bai Yan's shoulder, pulling his left hand to hold it close, as if it was the only way to find enough security.

"Brother Yan, don't leave again, okay? Or I will really get angry!"

Though Bai Yan didn't know what Su Zhijun used to call him before, the sincerity in her call of Brother Yan was heard clearly by him.

Deep down, Bai Yan gave himself a harsh slap.

Bai Yan! You're such a jerk! A delicate girl waited for you in desolation for ten thousand years! And you let her make the first move! Where's your skill in chasing girls?!

Su Zhijun's call of Brother Yan made Bai Yan start re-evaluating himself, questioning if he was stupid, crazy, to hesitate with such a goddess who poured her heart out for him. It was inexcusable!

After harshly reprimanding himself, Bai Yan finally awoke, realizing what he should do now.

He sat up from his leaning position, squared Su Zhijun's shoulders, making her face him, looking into his eyes.

"Zhi Jun, you know, my memories haven't fully returned, so most of our past story I've forgotten."

As Bai Yan said this, Su Zhijun's eyes filled with disbelief, thinking Bai Yan didn't want her!

Tears streamed down her flawless cheeks, falling on the back of Bai Yan's hand that held hers.

But his next words lifted her from hell to heaven!

"So I've decided to start pursuing you again from today, to make you my woman once more!"

"Ten thousand years is too long, from today, we'll seize every moment!"

Bai Yan's words were like a heavy hammer striking Su Zhijun's heart, making her tears fall even faster.

But now, they were tears filled with hope, instead of despair.

"Will you promise me? Give me a chance to start pursuing you again from today."

Bai Yan looked at the silently weeping Su Zhijun, feeling a deep ache in his heart.

This child, still as fond of crying as before, yet so innocent.

Such an assessment suddenly appeared in Bai Yan's mind, as pieces of his and Su Zhijun's shared memories slowly surfaced from the depths of his mind.

Though fragmented, they finally allowed Bai Yan to grasp the times they had spent together and the memories they shared.

"I... wooo... am willing... wooo..."

"Wooo... I'm willing... I'm willing... wooo..."

Su Zhijun no longer hid her cries, her tears soaking her blossom-like cheeks as she nestled in Bai Yan's embrace, sobbing terribly.

At this moment, she had waited far too long.
