Douluo: Steadily Becoming Stronger in Shrek

Chapter 251 The Last Word
Looking at Lin Chen's outstretched hand, Chang Bo stopped smoking and sighed silently.

It is very sad for anyone when a close friend passes away.

"Lin Chen, is there really no other way?" asked Chang Bo.

In the eyes of the people in Taoyuan Village, soul masters are the noblest profession that they will never be able to encounter in their lifetime. Many people even think that soul masters are omnipotent, so Chang Bo asked this question with some reluctance.

"Uncle Li has a congenital disease, and there is nothing I can do about it." Lin Chen replied.

Thinking that there was a big boss in his body, he asked Qian Renxue: "Sister Renxue, do you have any solution?"

Qian Renxue shook her head, indicating that she was powerless.

It’s not that Lin Chen doesn’t want to save her. If he can, Lin Chen will definitely save her. But now even Qian Renxue is helpless, so even a god will find it difficult to save her.

"Alas, maybe this is his fate!" Chang Bo said sadly.

At this time, Old Li had already walked out.

"Why did you come out? Go back and lie down." Uncle Chang said to Old Li.

"Why are you lying down? I still have to go out and make money for my son to get married! Unlike you, if it weren't for Lin Chen, I'm afraid there would be no one to take care of you in your old age." Old Li said sarcastically.

This time, Uncle Chang did not argue with Old Li. After so many years, he decided to let him scold him a few more times.

Old Mrs. Shen held Old Li's arm with a smile on her face.

If the tear marks had not still been there, Lin Chen would have had no idea that this was someone who had just cried.

No, how come the person who was crying so hard when he was still asleep starts laughing when he wakes up?
As her face was covered with wrinkles, Old Li could not see the traces of his wife's tears.

Chang Bo's eyes moved and he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

"Okay, I'm sick now. You go back first. I'll be back in two days." Old Li said to Old Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen said in a serious tone: "No, I will deliver the goods with you this time."

Old Li was helpless about his wife's stubborn temper and had to nod in agreement.

He turned around and looked at Chang Bo and Lin Chen, and said, "You two should stop staying here and go back quickly. We will be back in two days."

Old Mrs. Shen also smiled and said, "Yes, thank you for making this trip."

"It's okay, then we'll go back first." Lin Chen was about to say something, but Chang Bo spoke first.

After saying that, he pulled Lin Chen away without looking back.

Two days later, Old Li and Old Lady Shen returned to Taoyuan Village. They cooked a large table of dishes and called Lin Chen and Uncle Chang over.

For the villagers of Taoyuan Village, this meal can probably only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.

"Uncle Li, why are there so many dishes today?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

Old Li sighed, "Isn't this what your Aunt Shen asked for? Apart from Chinese New Year, I have never eaten so many dishes!"

Old Mrs. Shen, who was busy at the stove, said to him, "Look at your body. If you don't eat more, you'll faint again."

"She's right, Old Li, you really should eat more." Uncle Chang walked up to Old Li, patted him on the shoulder and said.

Old Li just smiled bitterly and didn't say anything.

After Old Mrs. Shen brought out the last dish of braised pork, everyone sat down and devoured it.

This meal took everyone ten minutes longer than usual, for no other reason than that there were more dishes on the table.

After dinner, the three old men and women went out to chat again, while Lin Chen was washing dishes in the house. Having lived in Taoyuan Village for several months, Lin Chen's ability to do housework has become quite strong. He has also learned some dishes that he didn't know how to cook before under the guidance of several elders. After all, his strong mental strength is there, right?
Under the nourishment of this peaceful life, Lin Chen's state of mind is also changing subtly.

Unlike the hustle and bustle of the outside world, the tranquility of Taoyuan Village also gave Lin Chen a new understanding of the way of the sword.

Faintly, he seemed to have touched the threshold of level 98.

But this feeling is vague, sometimes it comes and sometimes it doesn't.

It can only be said that Taoyuan Village is indeed a treasure land. In just a few months, Lin Chen has reached the threshold of level 98.

After washing the dishes and putting them away, Lin Chen walked out and listened to the conversation of several people, just like before.

The difference is that tonight there is a sad atmosphere in the words.

……

Two weeks passed in a flash, and when Lin Chen woke up in the morning, he immediately sensed a hint of death.

"It seems that Uncle Li still couldn't escape this disaster." Lin Chen said with some regret.

"Perhaps this is what all mortals must go through." Qian Renxue also sighed.

Qian Renxue also saw how Lin Chen lived here, and unknowingly fell in love with this paradise. Now, she is naturally a little sad.

When he arrived at Old Li’s house, Lin Chen saw Old Mrs. Shen sitting at the door.

Old Mrs. Shen's eyes seemed a little dull and lifeless, as if her heart was dead.

"Aunt Shen, please accept my condolences." Lin Chen comforted her.

Old Madam Shen forced a smile and said, "Lin Chen, thank you. He and I have been together for decades, and I am already content."

At this time, Chang Bo also came over.

Seeing the situation of the two people, I also knew that Old Li was dead.

Without saying a word, Chang Bo pushed open the door and looked at Old Li lying on the bed, no longer breathing.

Looking at his old friend, Chang Bo couldn't help but feel his breathing become heavier.

Old Madam Shen and Lin Chen also pushed the door open and walked in. Old Madam Shen said, "Okay, don't make trouble here. I still have to prepare for the old man's funeral. You can go back first."

Lin Chen was a little worried, but was pulled away by Chang Bo.

"Uncle Chang, Mrs. Shen is so old, shouldn't we go and help her?" Lin Chen asked in confusion.

Chang Bo sighed and said, "Let's go get ready."

"Prepare? Prepare for what?" Lin Chen was puzzled.

Then, he suddenly reacted, broke away from Uncle Chang, and ran towards Old Li's house.

When he opened the door again, he found that Old Mrs. Shen was lying peacefully beside Old Li, without a breath. On the table next to the bed, there was a letter and a warm bowl.

Because of his temperament, a layer of mist appeared in his eyes.

Walking to the bed, Lin Chen picked up the letter.

"I met Li when I was thirty years old. Since I have lived in the capital of Tianhun Empire for many years, I was quickly attracted by the Taoyuan Village he mentioned. So, I decided to spend my life with him and followed him to Taoyuan Village despite my family's opposition. I spent more than forty years with him here, always by his side, and was very happy. Now he has passed away, but I am still infatuated with him, so I went to look for him. I hope that whoever sees this letter will give it to our children and bury us together on the back mountain. I am very grateful. Shen Qingyu's last words."
