Chapter 896: Death of Heart is Death

Amid the extremely excited calls, a tall figure suddenly passed by, knocking the third-generation old man to stagger, and then fell firmly into Leon's arms.

When she was rescued from the City of Regret, Emma had already thought about what to say when they met later, but when that familiar figure appeared, the response she had prepared instantly collapsed, and all that was left was an instinctive hug.

"Leon..."

After giving Leon an extremely firm hug with such great force that she almost rubbed him into her body, Emma, with red eyes, leaned on his shoulder and said in a trembling voice:
"Thank you... Thank you! I... If it weren't for you..."

"nothing."

After sensing Emma's violently fluctuating heart, Leon couldn't help but reach out his hand and patted her on the back twice to comfort her, then replied in a gentle voice:
"Even if it's changed..."

"Even if something happened to me, you would definitely come to save me."

After saying this in a strange tone before Leon, the third-generation old man glanced at Leon who was looking up at him, and said with a look of disdain:
"When my wife was still alive, I told her the same thing, and she burst into laughter and insisted on marrying me... So many years have passed, why are you still using the same method I used back then?"

"..."

No...your mouth just smelled bad before, why did it suddenly become smelly now?
Feeling the atmosphere being maliciously destroyed, Senior Emma's body became slightly stiff. Leon had to let go of her hand and looked at the square-headed old man opposite him, and said speechlessly:

"Third generation, you look much more energetic than last time."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense!"

After glancing at Liang's cufflinks, the third-generation old man said impatiently:
"Where are the things? Hurry up! Get all the ingredients out! I'm almost going moldy waiting!"

"The materials are with Lady Taurus. She will be here soon. I just came here first..."

"Okay, it doesn't matter what you're here for, just go and chat with your lover over there! Don't delay us!"

After waving his hand to make a gesture to chase them away, the old man from the third generation dragged over a tombstone and placed it next to his big pot as a stool. Then he sat on someone's tombstone, scratching his ears and staring at the big pot, with no intention of paying any attention to the two people at all.

This guy is my mother's... Director, you are still as annoying as before!
(〝▼plate▼)
Faced with the bad attitude of the third-generation old man, Leon couldn't help but sigh, and then wanted to take Senior Emma away, away from this foul-mouthed old man.

However, even though Leon had already let go of his hand, the arm around his waist did not loosen, but instead tightened unconsciously.

"Senior Emma?"

"Call me Emma."

"Forehead……"

"Emma."

"..."

Even though he didn't try to spy on Senior Emma's thoughts, her heart lake was so turbulent, and it was right in front of him without any defense. As a half-step true god who mastered the power of the heart lake, Leon couldn't help but take a look.

And if at the beginning, what was surging in this lake of heart was only intense joy and gratitude, as the two people hugged each other more and more tightly, the waves in this lake of heart had undergone some profound changes.

The first thing that emerged was a sense of sudden enlightenment of understanding one's own heart, followed by a vast, boundless, hot wave. In this new wave, there was neither sorrow nor twists and turns, but only the stubbornness and passion to keep moving forward even if it meant breaking everything.

"Emma...senior."

Without changing the address as Emma requested, Leon hesitated for a while, lowered his head and said softly:

"You... Actually, you might as well calm down first. Right now, you just had a near-death experience and you've been quite emotional, so you're a little too excited. Decisions made at this time are generally not rational."

"is it?"

Emma blinked when she heard this. "What decision did I make?"

"..."

"So you feel it all, you know what I'm thinking, right?"

The arm around Leon's waist loosened slightly, leaving a tiny gap between the two of them. Emma leaned back slightly, looked at Leon's evasive eyes, glanced at his gentle appearance, and said softly without blinking:
"I am very emotional, but that doesn't mean I am not rational... Leon, don't you have the power to explore the heart lake? Why don't you feel my heart directly?"

Reaching out and grabbing Leon's hand, Emma pressed it hard against her heart. Her ears turned red. While listening to her deafening heartbeat, she asked with a serious look in her eyes:

"Leon, tell me, how is my heart now?"

"..."

"Tell me, did I lose my judgment because I was too excited and misunderstood my gratitude to you as something else, or did I finally understand what I really want after almost dying once?"

"I……"

“Although I can’t see your heart, I can see your eyes.”

Looking at Leon who turned his head slightly, not wanting to look at her, Emma continued to speak stubbornly:

"Leon, you can see the lake in your heart. Tell me, what does your heart look like now?"

"Well... human emotions are very complicated, so... what I say may not be right..."

"It does not matter."

Emma raised her head slightly, staring at Leon in front of her with her soft eyes, and said stubbornly:

"As long as you say it, I will believe it!"

"..."

But this is not a question of belief or disbelief...

After his lips moved slightly, Leon couldn't help but sighed, then raised his left hand to block Emma's eyes, turned his head and said:
"Senior Emma, I'm already married."

"I...I know..."

After taking a look at the dazzling ring on Leon's hand, under the influence of [Married Person], Emma's excited heart couldn't help but stagnate for a moment, and then it receded like a receding tide.

Looking at Leon, who was obviously guilty and didn't dare to look her in the eyes, but still insisted on raising his left hand with the ring on it to stand between her and him, Emma couldn't help but pursed her lips tightly, feeling as if a piece of her heart was suddenly torn out.

As the cold feeling of despair surged into her heart, Emma's heartbeat, which had just been beating like a drum, suddenly stopped for a moment, and fell into a brief and silent silence, and then...

boom!
A storm with a strong chill burst out from her heart, and after carefully bypassing Leon, it spread extremely rapidly in all directions, directly knocking the third-generation old man who was eavesdropping with his ears perked up to fall.

Then, the gray-brown soil of the Sages' Cemetery quickly turned pale in the cold, and the plants that originally had some greenness immediately turned gray. A large amount of silent and cold air rushed around, and in just a few breaths, all the surrounding tombstones were covered with a layer of light white frost.

"The power of death?!?!?!"

After climbing up with the help of the tombstone next to him, looking at Emma, who was standing opposite Leon with her head slightly lowered and tears already welling up in the corners of her eyes, the third-generation old man couldn't help but look at Leon in confusion, and literally gasped.

"You... she just wanted to date you, why did you make her feel so depressed?"
