COMPLETED! --- "From now on, you will not age, nor will you die. From now on, you will witness how people around you die. From now on, you will be the undying Immortal Zhang Hei." --- More than four hundred years ago, Zhang Hei callously swung his sword to separate souls from their bodies, leaving no soul attached to the body in Jiangshi Palace. The massacre triggered severe punishment from the God of Life, and he was cursed to witness the death of the humans around him while he himself would not be able to die. From that day on, Zhang Hei became an immortal who would live forever. Zhang Hei had lived in this world for over four hundred years, and he had witnessed so many deaths over the years. As he continued losing people around him, he felt more and more emptiness in his heart, and he finally begged the God of Life to lift his punishment. He said that he wanted to die, and the God of Life then asked him to meet the God of Death. The God of Death then asked him to find a person. That person was one of the people he killed heartlessly more than four hundred years ago, and after meeting him again, his life started to change. As his life continued to change, Zhang Hei also began to see strange images in his mind that seemed to be part of the past that were erased from his memory by the God of Life, and some unexpected things began to happen in his life. Would the immortal still want to die after he once again reunited with someone from the past? Would he be able to die in the end?
"It's really hot outside, so I ordered this orange-flavored soda for myself because it looked refreshing, Mr. Zhang. I didn't know what you liked, so I ordered a Café Au Lait for you. You seem to be the type who likes to drink coffee," Ren Qiao Lian said after the waiter left their table.
Zhang Hei didn't reply to what the girl had just said, and he just silently looked at the food and drinks in front of him. He didn't order any, not really having the appetite to eat. Even after the food and drinks were served on the table, he still didn't touch anything and just watched as the girl sitting across from him started to sip her drink.
It seemed that Ren Qiao Lian was really thirsty, and she looked very relieved when she was finally able to wet her dry throat. However, that relieved expression was soon replaced by a frown on her forehead.
