Chapter 917 - 917 310 Benefactor and Matchmaker Two in One_4

Chapter 917: Chapter 310: Benefactor and Matchmaker [Two in One]_4 Chapter 917: Chapter 310: Benefactor and Matchmaker [Two in One]_4 Crescent Moon’s upper echelons made their meaning very clear.

The opponent’s strength was beyond expectations; provoking them wasn’t worth it, so give up!

Zhan Pinting felt like her heart was being sliced open after hearing this response.

She had been with the young sparrowhawk for a long time, and her affection for it had seeped into her bones. How could she bear to abandon it?

“I’ll wait here for a few days… Just a few days!”

Zhan Pinting pleaded desperately, “They didn’t say they would keep Little Bai. Maybe Little Bai has caught their favor and found an opportunity. Perhaps he will come back soon… just let me wait a little longer.”

But the other two didn’t want to delay even for a moment!

It was truly terrifying to wait here. I mean, knowing that there’s a super demon king nearby who you have no hope of matching, one who could burst out at any moment to kill you…

Stay here waiting for Little Bai, for a chance, for a hope?!

Heh, what were they thinking?

The two of them plainly expressed that they wanted to leave immediately, without any delay—the kind that can’t wait.

Even Sixth Brother Zhan, Zhan Zhixiang, wished to leave straight away.

But… Zhan Pinting adamantly refused to go, and he, truly fond of his niece, was left with no choice but to stay by her side. However, he didn’t force the other two to remain.

The other two breathed a sigh of relief, said no more, and left on their own.

Fine, you have your sentiments and loyalty, so you stay and wait. Let’s see if a miracle happens.

As for us, we are not going to accompany you any longer; let’s quickly escape from this land presided over by the Grim Reaper.

Looking at the dark and dense jungle, Zhan Zhixiang turned to look at Zhan Pinting again, seeing how her eyes were fixed on the forest, filled with expectation, even overshadowing her fear of death.

Zhan Zhixiang’s mind was full of thoughts, but he couldn’t help but sigh, “Girl…”

Zhan Zhixiang carefully chose his words, “We have to face reality. Little Bai, I’m afraid… ”

“Little Bai will definitely come back!” Zhan Pinting said firmly, her words filled with confidence.

“…”

Zhan Zhixiang was at a loss for words. Come back, my ass, where’s your confidence coming from, girl? Have you lost your mind?!

In an instant, he had the thought that staying had been a mistake.

“Since things have come to this, it’s impossible to wait indefinitely. You need to give me a deadline, girl…”

“Just three days. Can we wait three days, Sixth Grandfather? Little Bai will definitely come back!” Zhan Pinting begged incessantly.

“…Alright, just three days.”

Three days later.

“…Just two more days, just two days… Little Bai will definitely come back!”

Another two days later.

“…Last day! Final day! Little Bai will definitely come back today!”

Over these few days, Zhan Pinting didn’t touch a drop of water, her appearance growing increasingly haggard. Normally, someone of her cultivation wouldn’t have deteriorated to this extent, but she had poured all her attention and spirit into the young sparrowhawk, consumed by thoughts of it, completely draining her spirit. Her vitality was withered, but her gaze never showed any sign of abandonment, steadfast as ever.

All that remained was her persistent waiting!

Zhan Zhixiang sighed deeply and said nothing more.

He saw that his granddaughter had set her heart on waiting for the return of the young sparrowhawk.

If she didn’t see the sparrowhawk return, this silly girl would very likely wait herself to death here.

“So be it, so be it.”

Zhan Zhixiang no longer urged her.

Worst case scenario, he’d just die here with this foolish girl.

The one thing that provided some comfort to Zhan Zhixiang was that, even though the sparrowhawk had not returned in these six days, that mysterious expert had also been silent. It was unclear whether they’d tacitly accepted their bitter wait or had already left. At least, their lives were not in danger for the time being.

And so, up to the tenth day…

Zhan Pinting was nearly at death’s door.

If it wasn’t for Zhan Zhixiang forcibly feeding her, Zhan Pinting wouldn’t have lasted this long all by herself.

But now at her limit, she sat outside the forest, by the mountain pass, always in the same place, her eyes lifeless, foolishly waiting.

The only feeling she had was that a piece of her heart had been hollowed out…

Zhan Zhixiang had actually given up long ago; he kept hesitating over whether he should knock his granddaughter unconscious and forcefully take her away.

But, on this day…

As Zhan Pinting remained stubbornly waiting…

“Kreeee!”

A loud and clear eagle cry pierced the sky.
