Chapter 1148: Long-lost Warmth

Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy

Jun Yinglian’s eyes were tearing up. After a while, she finally shouted, “Ye Xiao, I hate you... I hate you...”

Then she shook, and then fell to the floor softly.

“Lian Lian!” Ye Xiao was anxious! He thrust up and held her waist. Her eyes were closed, with tears flowing on her cheeks. She was unconscious.

She was just lying quietly inside Ye Xiao’s arms. Her pale face still had tear stains. Even though she was in a coma, there were still tears running out from the corner of her eyes.

She was like a fragile flower bud, favorable but piteous.

Ye Xiao looked at the beauty in his arms. He was suddenly obsessed.

He sat still, holding Jun Yinglian in his arms quietly. He was lost in thoughts.

[Why would she suddenly pass out?]

He felt his heart broken.

[Lian Lian... must be too tired!]

[Before I died, she kept following me with all her heart, but she always got disappointed. She was always sad because of me.]

She had been making attempts as time kept passing mercilessly. She had spent every second of her youth on him. She had waited until her face no longer looked young...

‘Where you are is my home. Even though we are in different places, at least I know you are in the same mundane world!’

Jun Yinglian used to say these worlds.

That was such a humble self-comfort.

She didn’t have to be in the mundane world, yet she descended to it because of him!

‘It will be all that I need, to just stay with you under the same starry sky in this mundane world.’

When she said so, her eyes were filled with sad tears.

However, she couldn’t get what she wanted even though it was such a simple wish.

Nobody knew how much in despair she was when the news of Ye Xiao’s death went to her ears.

She stayed around his cenotaph for three years afterward.

All her love for him had become void during the three years. It didn’t even become the propulsion to take revenge.

He was dead. Would he come back to life if she took revenge for him?

Three years later, she showed up again with her sword.

People misjudged her this time. She didn’t really want to take revenge.

What she wanted the most was... to die!

She had nothing to live for anymore.

A life without him was meaningless to her! She had no reason to live anymore!

It was still a big world, and lives could still be colorful. However, in her eyes, nothing mattered anymore.

She just wanted to die in the same people’s hands as Xiao Monarch. She thought maybe that would lead her to him after death.

She didn’t care where they were; she just wanted to be with him!

Maybe there was another mundane world after death. Perhaps he would still refuse her in the other world. However, she got to be with him in the same world again.

Maybe he could accompany her to travel the world then!

Jun Yinglian was a dominant Dao Origin Stage cultivator, but she was still exhausted after the three years. She was still alive, but deep inside her, she was just a walking corpse.

All that supported her to stay alive was the plan she had made for her self, the plan to die. If not, she might have been dead for a long time!

It was the last thing she had to do to deliver the message to Yue Gongxue.

After that, she only wanted to go straight to death as she planned! She took it as a start to meet Xiao Monarch again in the world of death!

However, when she was desperately heading to the end of her life, she was told that Ye Xiao was alive...

Xiao Monarch showed up in her sight again!

The news was too much a surprise for her. It was quite a pleasure to her, but she was unable to bear the shock! One might be lucky to be hit by a pie that suddenly fell from the sky, but a starving man might have been knocked down to death by the huge pie.

Her mind had been tensed up for three years. Every second in the three years, her heart became tenser. However, when it was at the most intense point, it was abruptly loosened.

It was like a spring which was extremely tight suddenly got loosened, having no space to buffer. That was such a huge blast at that moment.

The spring itself got blasted, but Jun Yinglian was blasted on her heart!

The pressure she had been suffering for the three years, the grudge that accumulated in the three years... they were all suddenly loosened!

She was knocked down by the pressure... Instead, she couldn’t bear the ’emptiness’ all of a sudden!

Ye Xiao felt how she felt in the heart. He couldn’t help sighing with sorrow.

Jun Yinglian had been hanging on it till the present, with a woman’s unique toughness.

[If I needed to do this...]

Ye Xiao didn’t force himself to think about it. He obviously knew the answer. He might also give his life up to draw out the sword and start the last fight in his life. However, to put all the emotions and pressure in his heart for three years was totally impossible. He couldn’t even endure it for three months, not to mention three years!

He just held Jun Yinglian’s soft body. His eyes were blank. He looked confused, but pieces of memories showed up in his sight from time to time.

He was recollecting the days with Jun Yinglian. Everything, every word, every detail between them...

He had been such a prick to her. He felt that he was unforgivable.

He was lost in the recollection of the memory. At the moment, he was unknowingly making a bitter smile.

He couldn’t remember how long he had held Jun Yinglian in his arms... Jun Yinglian had no idea either. Time was forgotten. The two of them were the only ones left in the world, with softness, warmth, and peace!

Jun Yinglian couldn’t handle the shock, so she passed out. However, she was still a dominant cultivator. What happened was a good thing after all. While Ye Xiao was still lost in the memories, Jun Yinglian woke up. She immediately became sober. The first thing she felt was a warm hug.

It was so comfortable.

Such a feeling was intoxicating her, obsessing her... It was the sweetness that she had been yearning for!

She slowly opened her eyes, and a handsome face appeared in her sight. He didn’t notice that she was awake. He was lost in thoughts, quiet, with shifting emotions in his eyes.

He sometimes looked sad, angry, guilty, self-condemning, regretful...

Jun Yinglian looked at him quietly. She clearly understood why the man would have those different emotions. She knew exactly why he felt what he was feeling...

Whenever his expression changed, she knew what he was thinking about. She knew exactly why he would have a look like that in the eyes.

Only Jun Yinglian knew him that well. Only Jun Yinglian understood every changing expression in his face.
