Chapter 2619: Asura’s Tear
Strong people weren't lacking among the Shamans, the Asuras, and the Ocean races. They built structures even more quickly than the modern world's technology could manage. What they struggled with was formation designs.
Fortunately, the three races had a strong foundation, and Zu An was adept in formations. It took time, but they gradually perfected each of the formations.
As their work approached completion, however, Princess Ni Huang seemed to smile less.
Soon, it was time for them to part ways. Zu An used a secret art to channel the Six Paths of Reincarnation’s power to open a passageway to the Asura World, allowing all the Asuras to return home.
Princess Ni Huang was the last to leave. The Asura King sighed from the passageway and urged her, “Ni Huang, we should get going.”
Princess Ni Huang lowered her head and replied with a “Mm”. All of a sudden, she rushed toward Zu An and gave him a tight hug. Feeling a wet sensation on his shoulder, Zu An’s body stiffened up a little. In the end, he raised his hands to gently embrace her back.
Pei Mianman displayed no jealousy at that sight. If anything, she only felt wistful. After what had happened with the Mermaid Queen and the Goddess of Wu Mountain, she realized that there was no point getting jealous of lovers who were separated across spacetime.
“Ni Huang, the passageway is about to close,” the Asura King anxiously urged. Opening a passageway between worlds was bound to require a tremendous amount of resources. It had taken a lot of time for the other Asuras to cross the passageway; the chances were that Zu An was already reaching his limit.
“Don’t forget me!” Princess Ni Huang said as she wiped off her tears and ran after her brother. Shortly after she entered the passageway, its entrance closed.
Ox Head and Horse Face walked up to Zu An’s side and said, “The Asuras pride themselves on being a warrior race. They see courage and strength as a virtue. Tears are a symbol of weakness for the Asuras, which is why they never cry except in one scenario.”
“What scenario?” Zu An asked worriedly as he recalled Princess Ni Huang’s earlier tears.
“An Asura woman crying for her lover. They only cry if their feelings for their lover have reached an extreme, to the point of causing them great anguish.” Ox Head and Horse Face were awed. Zu An and Ni Huang had only known each other for a short time, but he had already charmed the Asura race’s princess to this degree.
