Chapter 82: A Heart in Turmoil

As Shājiā'ěr and Zephyr clashed in a battle of titans, Mei Lin stood at the sidelines, her heart heavy with worry and fear. With every strike exchanged between the two powerful adversaries, she could feel the strain and toll it took on her beloved.

Despite her best efforts to maintain her composure, Mei Lin couldn't shake the overwhelming sense of dread that gripped her heart. Each blow that Shājiā'ěr endured felt like a dagger through her own heart, filling her with a sense of helplessness and despair.

As the battle raged on, Mei Lin's pain only grew more acute, her hands trembling with unspoken anguish. She longed to rush to Shājiā'ěr's side, to lend him her strength and support in his time of need. But she knew that her place was here, on the sidelines, bearing witness to the struggle that would determine the fate of their homeland.

With tears glistening in her eyes, Mei Lin whispered a silent prayer to the heavens, calling upon whatever divine forces might be listening to watch over Shājiā'ěr and grant him the strength to overcome the darkness that threatened to consume him.

As she watched the battle unfold before her, Mei Lin vowed to remain steadfast in her support of her beloved, no matter the outcome. For as long as there was breath in her body, she would stand by Shājiā'ěr's side, ready to face whatever trials and tribulations lay ahead. And in that moment, amidst the chaos and turmoil of war, she found a glimmer of hope and determination to see their journey through to its end, whatever it may bring.
