Chapter 315: Senior Brother Blesses You

~7 min read 1,225 words

Nan Qinghuan saw with her own eyes that the meteor was thrown down below and was instantly chewed up by a beast. She was bewildered, "Why, why aren't you leaving? Do you intend to stay here and help the Rongdi harm people?"

He actually didn't leave; she truly couldn't understand why he wouldn't go—was it because of her? She couldn't bear such feelings!

Li Xiang's gaze was plaintive as he looked at her, "Junior sister, if you don't leave I won't leave either. I'll stay here. I plan to build the ancient and turn this place into my ideal Eden."

"Wait, what does that mean?"

She knew Li Xiang stayed because of her, yet she still didn't want to be his enemy—why couldn't they get along peacefully? Li Xiang looked at her deeply and said, "Did you know what my plan was before this? I intended to trick you out tonight and take you away; no matter what, I would get you out of here. Do you know why I changed the plan?"

Nan Qinghuan stared at him in stunned bewilderment, "Why?"

She had actually guessed why Li Xiang came to attend the Bolan Festival—he was looking for her. In the Ying Tribe he couldn't see her; only here did he have a chance!

So when she saw him arrive with the Rongdi, she had anticipated it.

Why he changed the plan, she wanted to know!

Li Xiang's eyes were plaintive, "I thought you were just brainwashed, dazzled by that wild man. I wanted to wake you, stubbornly believing I could take you away. As long as you left this place, you'd treat everything here as a dream and be fine once you woke up. But today I saw that wild man hugging you, Qinghuan. In that moment I realized I was wrong…"

Yes, he was terribly wrong.

It turned out they truly loved each other.

Although he was jealous and envious, he also considered Nan Qinghuan's temperament; if he forced her back, perhaps she would still come looking for him.

Her heart already belonged to that wild man; he didn't want to admit it and had no way to change it.

Yes, he lost.

So he made a decision: since she chose to stay, he would stay as well.

"Senior brother…"

Nan Qinghuan was stunned; he said he saw that she and Ying were true love.

"It's unbelievable that you fell in love with that wild man, Qinghuan. I lost. Rest assured, I won't let the Rongdi commit those heinous acts anymore. You help your Ying, I'll help the Rongdi; we won't interfere with each other."

He once harbored a vicious thought of trying to get rid of Nan Qinghuan's child, but fortunately he never acted. He also feared that the ancient thing would harm Qinghuan's body. Now he realizes how wrong he was!

Hearing this, Nan Qinghuan could hardly imagine Li Xiang staying. Though he wasn't forcing himself and she was quite happy, staying here would be very difficult.

They're different: she has Ying, but what about Li Xiang? What does Li Xiang have? The Rongdi are ruthless; there's no guarantee Li Xiang won't be devoured by them someday.

So… "Senior brother, think it through. Missing this chance means waiting many years; regret won't help. You've also seen how poor the conditions here are—you have to create everything yourself."

Li Xiang, however, smiled lightly and shrugged, "What are you afraid of? You can survive too; I, Li Xiang, can as well."

"Senior brother, if you're willing to come to the Ying Tribe, I will speak properly with Ying to let you join us…"

"No need, Qinghuan. I let you go and also let myself go, but that doesn't mean I like that wild man; in my heart he still doesn't deserve you."

"Li Xiang, are you talking about me?"

Suddenly, Ying's voice came from behind; Nan Qinghuan's face darkened—her jealousy flared.

She turned and saw that Ying had been standing there for who knows how long, and Ji Lei's expression was also unpleasant.

"Omu, you sneaked out and Ying found out."

Ying swaggered over to Nan Qinghuan's side, ignoring that Li Xiang was still reaching out, and scooped her into his arms as if proclaiming his sovereignty.

Nan Qinghuan tried to push him away but was powerless.

She struggled briefly and then gave up.

Li Xiang couldn't bear it any longer and hurried to stand before him; the two men faced each other.

But standing with Ying, Li Xiang lost his momentum.

Ying was too tall; he could only look up at him.

"Ying, listen: if you treat the junior sister poorly and cause her distress, I will take her away so you'll never be able to find her."

Nan Qinghuan was worried Ying might attack Li Xiang; how could he say such words to Ying? Sure enough, Ying's expression darkened.

Ying's eyes narrowed slightly, "That day will never come. If you dare to take Qinghuan, I will tear you to pieces."

"Ha, is that so?"

Li Xiang let out a cold laugh, gave Nan Qinghuan a deep glance, then turned and left, this time departing with magnanimity.

Farewell, my beloved one; this time I truly will bless you!

After Li Xiang left, Nan Qinghuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Why did you come? Was the meeting over?"

Ying had actually noticed her coming out long ago; he sent Ji Lei to follow her, but for some reason, thinking of Li Xiang made him feel uneasy, so he also came.

"Missed you, come out and have a look."

She didn't expect Ying to blurt out that line; Nan Qinghuan felt a bit flattered and surprised. Seeing that Ying didn't seem very angry, she quickly reached out and hugged his waist.

"Ying, senior brother has already promised me he won't kill indiscriminately. Could you tell your men not to kill him?"

Hearing this, Ying's expression darkened in shock as he stared at her.

"What did you say?"

Nan Qinghuan let out a deep sigh, "Actually I heard what you and Ashu said, so I had to come here fearing you'd strike at senior brother. Ying, stand down. He's my senior brother, like a real older brother; he's my family. Though he did some bad things before, they were because of me. Ying, don't oppose senior brother. Can we get along peacefully?"

Hearing this, Ying gave no reply, only a complicated look toward her.

"Family?"

"Yes, like family, just as your bond with Dashan. He was trapped here because he came looking for me; now he doesn't want to leave either. Ying, please release him, okay?"

She tried to reason with Ying, hoping that if he agreed, they could truly live peacefully thereafter.

Ying remained silent, and Ji Lei couldn't hold back, "Omu, don't worry, there's no assassination."

"What does that mean?"

How could it be gone? Ying squinted slightly, reached out to gently pat her head, his eyes full of indulgence. He had heard what Li Xiang said; he gave up on Qinghuan.

He won!

He was delighted; finally Li Xiang let go.

Thus, his plan was also cancelled.

"Qinghuan, if I really have to act, can he still be here and talk with you?"

Ying's gaze was deep and complex, which made Nan Qinghuan a little confused; did he give up? "Why?"
