Farewell

The challenge was for six months, but it was extended to almost a year.

After finding out the truth about Lirath's past, Liu Yang felt sorry for her and decided to stop just acting like a husband. He became a real husband to her.

A married woman's life that she didn't have in the past, she managed to have with Liu Yang.

The wedding and wedding night was something simple and romantic, in the house, there was only the couple. They took the oath and became husband and wife.

After their first time, they felt the pleasures of life.

The day to day during the year was pleasant and every part of the house was marked by the couple's love juices.

There were days when they just talked and held each other to feel each other's warmth. But there were also days when they were like rutting animals having sex in all sorts of positions around the house and for several hours straight until they passed out from exhaustion.

Over a year, love blossomed between the two. What was just an agreement became something real and valuable to them.

But the two know that when this is over, the two will be separated and will only be able to meet again when Liu Yang manages to free the dragon race.

…

The night before the challenge ended…

"My husband, this last year has been the best year of my life. I finally got to live the life of a woman married to my man. It's really the greatest happiness I've managed to get. Thank you for providing me with these exciting and happy moments." Lirath was lying on top of Liu Yang with her elegant and beautiful face in front of him.

The two were just inches from each other.

Her tone was parting and melancholy. After a few hundred years, Lirath finally realized her dream, but it only lasted nearly a year before it ended.

"Lirath, I'm also glad that I've been a good husband this past year. You are really a good wife. But you don't have to worry about that, soon, we'll meet again." Liu Yang swore by his heart. He wasn't going to abandon her after the things that had happened over the last year.

Lirath had suffered a lot in the past until she found Liu Yang, so he wouldn't let her suffer again.

The Golden Dragon died before he could fulfill his duty as her fiancé, but by the irony of fate, his heart, which was Lirath's for there was only her in his heart, came back to her.

This was the best possible result.

"Liu Yang, you don't have to force yourself to do this. I'm already the happiest woman in the world, you've shown me a new world and I don't need anything other than this happiness."

"Lirath, you are wrong. There's still one thing we have to do. Something very important." He wasn't going to give up easily.

"Liu Yang, are you referring to a child? Weren't you wanting to take that other woman? For you to have her, your first child needs to be with her." She knew about this because he told her.

"Yea. But that doesn't mean our child can't be the second."

"Liu Yang, is this serious? Are you really going to risk your life to do this?" A great warmth welled up in Lirath's heart after hearing those words.

It was like an oath to her, something like the couple's wedding vows.

"Yea. I will endeavor to find the other two bone fragments that were taken."

"Liu Yang, for the rest of the night. I want you inside me. Until the day is done, I want to feel your warmth inside me. I want to feel your warmth so I don't forget about you." Lirath had nothing more to say. She just asked before moving her waist erotically.

…

As the last second of the year passed, Lirath's body slowly disappeared from Liu Yang's arms. But the beautiful smile on her face couldn't be hidden.

Happiness was being shown. She wanted to show Liu Yang how happy she was during the year.

Liu Yang felt that her happiness was genuine, but he was very sad because he saw his beloved wife slowly disappear from his arms.

When that happened, he was sent back to the cave from before.

ding… ding…

"Challenger, congratulations on completing the Dragon Knight class challenge."

"You received the advancement to the Dragon Knight class. All your attributes have been reset. Skills have been added to your skill window."

"Congratulations on completing the extra challenge. As the challenger who won most of the challenges, you will receive the extra prize"

…

The system rang many times, but Liu Yang was not paying attention to any of the announcements because his mind was blank.

Looking at her face it was possible to see two lines of tears of sadness falling.

His heart was broken after Lirath's disappearance, but all was not lost.

When he looked at the two items floating in front of him, the glint looked into his lifeless eyes.

"This is…" Liu Yang couldn't believe what he was seeing.

In front of him were the other two Zedry Bone Fragments. In this way, he got the five fragments.

Without hesitation, he took the two fragments, one in each hand, and squeezed tightly.

Blood spurted out and covered the fragments, it didn't take long for them to enter his chest to complete the tattoo.

zzzzz… zzzzzz…

roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buzzing noises were heard and the fierce roar of a dragon echoed throughout the cavern.

A great heat was felt by Liu Yang and passed through his entire body.

"argg!!!"
