Chapter 747 Expectation
"Yes, but this is just the beginning." Li Ji chuckled, his eyes falling gently on Qi Meng, "Next, we will rebuild together and create a brighter future."

"I believe the reconstruction process will be more difficult than we imagined, but it will also be more worth looking forward to." Qi Meng responded, her smile filled with infinite longing for the future.

"Of course. With you by my side, no challenge is something to be afraid of." Li Ji's tone revealed firmness and tenderness. He gently patted Qi Meng's shoulder. There was a tacit understanding and trust between the two that did not require much words.

At this time, Su Ye and Su Ye stepped forward quickly, their eyes flashing with tears of victory, and also full of hope for the future. "Our home has finally ushered in real light." Su Ye was full of emotion, his voice trembling slightly, but full of strength.

Su Ye held Qi Meng's hand tightly, his excitement evident in words: "It is you who made us believe that miracles really exist. Let's walk side by side on the road ahead."

The residents of the Forgotten City gathered around them one after another, and everyone's face was filled with the joy of surviving the disaster and the desire for a new life. Children played among the adults, and their laughter washed away the scars of the battlefield like a spring.

"We should build a monument to commemorate the heroes who fell in this battle," suggested an old man, his voice old but full of dignity.

“At the same time, we must also set up an academy to pass on the knowledge and wisdom we have learned, to ensure that no darkness can easily erode this land in the future.” Qi Meng added, her words were like a spring breeze, warm and full of power.

"Yes, we also need a library to collect everything about this battle, so that future generations can know how light blooms in darkness." Li Ji's idea is specific and practical. He has a far-sighted vision and is already looking into the more distant future.

Discussions were going on one after another, and plans and dreams took root in people's hearts. After experiencing a life-and-death struggle, the Forgotten City was nurturing the hope of rebirth and infinite possibilities.

Just as everyone was immersed in the blueprint of rebuilding their home, a little girl pulled Qimeng's clothes, her pure eyes sparkling with curiosity and admiration. "Sister Qimeng, can you tell me more stories about wise men? I hope that when I grow up, I can become a hero like you."

Qi Meng bent down and gently touched the little girl's head, her eyes moistened: "The most important lesson the wise man taught us is courage and love. Remember, there is light in everyone's heart. As long as you follow it bravely, you can become your own hero."

"Besides, heroes are never alone." Li Ji joined in, put his hand on Qi Meng's shoulder, smiled at the little girl and said, "Look, we have so many partners, families who love us, and every beating heart on this land, weaving the chapter of the future together."

The little girl listened attentively, her eyes sparkling with longing and determination for the future. "I understand. I want to be a brave person and protect everyone, just like you!" She clenched her little fists, as if to cheer herself up.

Qi Meng and Li Ji smiled at each other, their eyes showing both memories of past battles and infinite expectations for the future. "Then, little one, remember to study hard every day, not only in martial arts, but more importantly, how to feel the world with your heart. When you are ready, the world will naturally reveal its mysteries to you."

The little girl nodded vigorously, with stars in her eyes, and ran back to her parents, excitedly sharing her new dream. Her laughter was clear and sweet, like a seed of hope, taking root and sprouting in every corner of the Forgotten City.

As night fell, a bonfire was lit in the Forgotten City to celebrate the victory and look forward to the future. Under the light of the fire, everyone's face was filled with warm smiles, which was the rekindled love for life and infinite hope for tomorrow.

Li Ji and Qi Meng sat by the bonfire, holding hands, looking at the cheerful crowd, their hearts filled with deep gratitude and dependence on each other. "We did it, but this is just the beginning, isn't it?" Qi Meng said softly, with infinite reverie about the future in her tone.

"Yes, there is still a long way to go." Li Ji agreed, his eyes deep, as if he had seen the many challenges and opportunities ahead. "But as long as we are together, nothing is impossible."

The two fell into silence for a moment, enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth. Just then, a gust of wind blew, bringing the call of the distant mountains and an indescribable premonition.

"It feels like there's some new adventure waiting for us." Qi Meng chuckled, her eyes flickering with eagerness.

"No matter what, we will fight side by side until the end of the world." Li Ji's answer was firm and powerful, and his hands unconsciously clenched tighter.

Just as they were immersed in this firm commitment, brilliant fireworks suddenly bloomed in the night sky. The colorful lights illuminated the entire Forgotten City as well as the dreams and hopes in everyone's heart.

"Look, what a beautiful night sky." Qi Meng looked up in admiration, with stars and fireworks shining brightly in her eyes.

"Yes, just like our future, it is full of unknowns, but also extremely exciting." Li Ji agreed. His eyes passed through the fireworks, as if he had seen the new challenges and miracles waiting for them ahead.

In the brilliant light and shadow, the two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words. This moment became another eternal memory in the history of the Forgotten City.

"Have you heard? That Li Ji and Qi Meng have really returned with the 'Light of the Soul'. It looks like the Forgotten City can be saved!" The old blacksmith in the south of the city said to the young man who came over while hammering on the red-hot iron.

The young man's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Is this true? Doesn't that mean that the dark days are about to end? I've heard that they are destined to change our destiny."

"It's more than a change, it's a miracle!" The blacksmith put down his hammer and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I've lived for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen such a scene. It seems that God has finally opened his eyes."

On the other side of the city, in the teahouse, there was a lot of discussion. Several vendors sat around a table. One of them shook his head and said, "Have you heard about the magnificence of the decisive battle that day? The moment Li Ji swung his sword, I seemed to see a dragon of light descending from the sky, and the army of black shadows fled in all directions. That scene, wow, I couldn't believe my eyes!"

"Go ahead and brag," another person said, unwilling to be outdone, but his excitement was hard to conceal. "My sister is helping out in the medical camp. She saw with her own eyes how Qi Meng used the 'Light of the Soul' to heal countless seriously injured soldiers. She said it was like the warm spring sun, melting the ice and restoring vitality. It's truly a miracle!"

"Yes, yes, my brother is on the front line. He said that Li Ji and Qi Meng are like a perfect match. They cooperate perfectly in battle. The King of Dark Shadows is like a joke in front of them." A young girl interrupted with admiration. "It seems that our Forgotten City is going to be famous. Which city would not envy such a pair of heroes?" An old man smiled with his eyes narrowed while holding a teacup, "In the future, our children can also proudly say how their predecessors defeated darkness and brought light."

Just as everyone was talking excitedly, a hurried messenger walked in from outside the door. Without catching his breath, he announced loudly: "The latest news! Li Ji and Qi Meng proposed to rebuild the city and build a college and library, so that our descendants will no longer be ignorant and let light stay in their hearts forever!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the teahouse suddenly became lively. Surprise, admiration, and anticipation, all kinds of emotions intertwined together, people whispered and talked about it.

"This way, our children can receive a better education and won't make the same mistakes again," a woman whispered hopefully.

"Although the wise man is gone, he left behind a valuable legacy. Now with Li Ji and Qi Meng, our city is saved!" An elderly teacher was deeply moved, with tears in his eyes.

"They are not just warriors, but also the architects of our future." A young scholar said seriously, "We should follow in their footsteps and protect our homeland with knowledge and wisdom."

Just as people were immersed in their beautiful visions of the future, the sun set, and the last rays of sunset in the sky echoed with the bonfire that first appeared on the distant mountain top, as if blessing the rebirth of the Forgotten City.

As night fell, Li Ji and Qi Meng stood in their own courtyard, gazing at the starry sky. Their conversation was gentle but firm, bringing a perfect end to this new chapter full of hope.

Li Ji chuckled: "It seems that our story has spread throughout the city, and everyone is full of expectations."

Qi Meng tilted her head and smiled, with stars twinkling in her eyes: "This is not just our story, but the story of everyone in the Forgotten City. From now on, let us work together with everyone to weave a more glorious future."

"That's right, let's walk the road ahead together." Li Ji put his arm around Qi Meng's shoulders. They smiled at each other, their eyes filled with infinite longing and firm belief for the future.

"Yes, let's walk the future together." Qi Meng held Li Ji's hand tightly. Their figures looked particularly firm in the night, as if even the stars were dimmed by them.

Not far away, an old man passing by stopped, looked at this scene and sighed softly: "Look, they are a perfect match. With them, the future of our Forgotten City will definitely be bright." The old man's words were full of satisfaction and expectation. He turned and left, still muttering to himself, as if he was savoring the warmth and power of the scene just now.

At the same time, in a corner of the city, several children sat on a big rock and argued. "When I grow up, I want to be a warrior like Li Ji, pointing my sword to the sky, and moving forward without hesitation!" A little boy stood up excitedly, gesturing with both hands to swing a sword, while the other children looked at him with admiration.

"I don't want to, I want to be a wise man like Qi Meng, and use my wisdom and kindness to heal the world!" a little girl retorted, with a determined light in her eyes. The surrounding children were attracted by this sudden debate and joined the discussion. The air was filled with innocent dreams and infinite possibilities for the future.

As the night deepened, a couple walked hand in hand on the streets of the Forgotten City, talking in low voices. "Tell me, can we do something for this city in the future like Li Ji and Qi Meng did?" The girl leaned on the boy's shoulder, her eyes full of longing for the future.

The boy hugged the girl tenderly and whispered, "As long as we have good intentions and work together, everyone can contribute to this city. Li Ji and Qi Meng bring us not only hope, but also the power of action."

Their conversation, though quiet, was like a warm current, flowing slowly through every corner of the Forgotten City, inspiring everyone.

Just as the whole city was immersed in the beautiful vision of the future, a strange light broke through the night sky, causing a commotion. A hurried footstep came from far away, and a breathless guard appeared in front of Li Ji and Qi Meng, his eyes full of surprise and urgency: "Oh no, there are abnormal energy fluctuations in the ruins of the wise man, it seems that something is about to awaken!"

Li Ji and Qi Meng looked at each other and smiled, which was a welcome to the unknown challenge and a manifestation of trust in each other. "Let's go and take a look." Li Ji said briefly and forcefully, and the two of them immediately set off and rushed towards the direction of the ruins.

As their backs disappeared into the night, the city returned to peace again, but everyone's heart was no longer at peace. New challenges were coming, but the residents of the Forgotten City believed that as long as Li Ji and Qi Meng were there, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

The moonlight was shining, and the silver light covered the path to the ruins. Li Ji and Qi Meng quickly crossed the silent forest, and every step revealed a determination that could not wait. When they arrived at their destination, they saw the ancient ruins gate tremble slightly, releasing a faint blue light, and an ancient and mysterious power surged in the air.

"It seems that things are not simple." Qi Meng said softly, with worry between her brows.

"No matter what happens, I will protect you." Li Ji held her hand tightly, his eyes as firm as a rock.

The two of them walked into the ruins cautiously. The murals around them seemed to tell the secrets of the past in the dim light. Just as they were exploring in depth, a sudden energy wave suddenly hit them. Qi Meng instinctively pushed Li Ji away, but she failed to completely avoid it. A dark shadow cut through the air and hit her left shoulder.

"Qimeng!" Li Ji called out anxiously, and stepped forward quickly. Qimeng was pale, with her left hand covering her shoulder, and blood dripping from her fingertips.

"I'm fine, just a minor injury." Qi Meng forced a smile and tried to comfort Li Ji, but the fine beads of sweat on her forehead revealed her pain.

Li Ji quickly checked the wound and found that it was slowly spreading and showing an unusual black color. "This wound... is not right, Qimeng, we must leave here immediately." He picked up Qimeng and turned to rush to the exit of the ruins, his heart burning with anxiety.
