Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 334: “You Are Here”

Chapter 334: “You Are Here”

The road was full of life, and the crowd was as busy as when she had first arrived. Although the Forgotten City was not having a market day, many foreign experts had already arrived within the city. All of them held a hope of gaining some wealth from the changes that had happened within the Forgotten Forest.

"There is someone observing me from the shadows." Although Bai Rouyun was not as strong as the majority of the experts on the streets, her soul was stronger than most, and her spiritual sense was slowly developing in the right direction, so she could feel a weak gaze that kept observing her every move.

Although the gaze contained an oppressive power, it did not seem to hold any hostility. Even so, the intensity behind it seemed to be very overwhelming, and Bai Rouyun had a hard time trying to ignore it, but even when she tried to locate the origin, she was unable to find any traces.

Sighing deeply, she could only keep walking down the streets, trying to figure out the location of this person who kept observing her, but refused to show himself.

"Yunyun!" Bai Rouyun had just started to consider which method she should use to lure out the hidden observer, when a familiar voice cut through the crowded and noisy surroundings.

Her entire body stagnated and she felt her heartbeat sped up rapidly. The tips of her fingers shivered slightly, but while she tried to calm down her body, she dared not turn around to see the owner of the said voice.

Although she had ascended to the Wushi Continent rapidly, and at a speed unlike any others, she had still spent years, and the long wait had caused her a slight worry.

Although she refused to admit it, Bai Rouyun knew that she dared not take a break in her cultivation, as she feared that when she had extra time to think, she would miss her husband too much. She would worry about his well-being and whether his thoughts had changed.

Li Moyun had been in the Wushi Continent for years already, and he had become accustomed to the world here. Would he have been tempted by any of the beautiful fairies?

Many unreasonable thoughts had passed in her mind after being seperated, but she had never wanted to admit to having these worries, or spend too much time thinking about them, as it could cause her to develop a heart demon. However, just now, when she heard his voice call out to her, she became frozen in place, and many fears and worries surfaced in her mind.

She was, outwardly, always positive and energetic, but only she knew what kind of fear she held towards abandonment.

No matter which of her lives she remembered, she had been abandoned many times. The ones she had believed in and trusted in had let her down time and time again.

Now that she had a husband whom she loved and trusted, she still worried deep inside whether or not he might leave her as well.

This worry was not reasonable, and logically Bai Rouyun knew that even if the world were to abandon her, Li Moyun would not. Even so, her mind did not seem to listen to the logic at all and made up unreasonable and troublesome thoughts and her fears grew like mushrooms after rain.

However, just as Bai Rouyun's fears were about to grow roots and embed themselves inside her core, she felt a strong arm that tugged her into a warm embrace full of familiarity and also a few changes.

Noticing the familiar scent and feeling, Bai Rouyun slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

She forced the unreasonable fears away from her mind and simply rested her head against Li Moyun's chest.

She had not looked at him yet. She did not know what he had experienced since their separation, but she knew that right now she was greedy for the warmth and feeling of security he gave her.

"You are here!" Finally, after taking a few deep breaths and ensuring that her heart was calm again, Bai Rouyun finally spoke.

Her voice was slightly quivering and her arms were tightly grasping the robe on his waist as if she feared he would vanish right in front of her.

Bai Rouyun's heartbeat had not calmed down but kept thudding strongly in her chest, and as she raised her head to look at the familiar face in front of her, tears began welling up within her eyes.

She had experienced many things throughout her life, and she was not a weak little girl who had to depend on others to live a good life. Even when she had been so far apart from Li Moyun, she was able to stay strong and fight for a better tomorrow. However, now that her man had arrived, she no longer wished to be strong. For just a moment, she wanted to relax and leave everything to the one in front of her.

Li Moyun was looking at the young woman in his arms. When he left the lower continent, she had still been very young, and although she was living her second life, he had been worried about her every day.

Even so, he knew that he could not return to the lower realm, and he had full faith in her ability to soar, so during these years, he had been preparing for her arrival.

However, as he looked at the woman in his arms, he suddenly felt as if his heart melted. Their separation had been necessary, but to him, it had also been a daily torture. Now that she was by his side once more, he finally felt alive again.
