Chapter 98: Very painful

Heilong also said, he and the Cheng Manor searched the entire Heavenly Origin City and the Purple Yang Sect thoroughly, yet still found no trace of Holy Maiden Liu; if there is still no news after five days, he will abolish his own dantian and atone with his death.

Speaking of this,

Heibao glanced over, and the girl who obediently leaned on Su Chen's shoulder.

She had a face like flower and moon, skin so delicate you could pinch water from it, especially those blood-red eyes that exuded an exotic charm from any angle, nothing like the fierce women spoken of by the disciples of the Azure Dragon Holy Land.

I really don't know what madness the spy sent by the Azure Dragon Holy Son has gone mad with!

All night last night he kept crying injustice, insisting firmly that Holy Maiden Liu had killed with a single sword thrust to the throat, shouting for the Young Master not to believe Holy Maiden Liu, not to be bewitched by her.

He spoke as if it were true, and no matter how he was whipped, he never repented.

"Holy Maiden Liu hardly cultivates at all; her whole heart is thrown at the Young Master, so delicate and pitiful."

"It must be that damned traitor deliberately misleading me; how could she possibly kill with a single sword thrust?"

"It seems that not using real force won't do; I'll turn around and use the mortal world's Cannon Burning Punishment on him!"

Heibao had been thinking this all along.

Meanwhile, he opened the second jade slip.

Heibao's divine sense swept over the jade slip, and he instantly froze; his expression turned extremely complex as he glanced at Su Chen, then his gaze fell back onto the jade slip: "Young Master, this jade slip says……"

"It says to please hurry to the Ye Family in Heavenly Origin City, saying that……"

"Saying that Lin Jianran was forced by Ye Xuan to marry the Holy Son of the Blazing Yang Sect?"

"Saying to let Su Chen go to Heavenly Origin City to abduct the bride?"

"Say." Su Chen remained expressionless, not lifting his glasses, and carefully bandaged Liu Liyan's wound.

"Young Master, should I read it? The jade slip says Ye Xuan knows your actions before leaving the city; in fact it was to cover up tracks, outwardly appearing as great enlightenment and a change of heart, but actually there was another reason."

「Young Master, did I read that? This jade slip says that Ye Xuan knows that your actions before leaving the city were actually to divert attention; on the surface it was a great awakening, a change of heart, but in fact there was another reason. 」

"Hiss——" Liu Liyan suddenly let out a soft nasal sound.

Heibao's following words were cut off.

Su Chen's hand trembled slightly; he raised his head and glanced at the faintly frowning Liu Liyan: "Are you okay? Is it my fault for being careless? Did I hurt you?"

"Mm." Liu Liyan raised her eyes, which were like blood-red agate gems, looking at Su Chen, her eyes full of his reflection: "A Chen, it hurts a little; I want you to blow on it."

Qingxia, sitting cross-legged in meditation in the corner: "……"

How could Su Chen possibly refuse?

Although he knew that a slight circulation of his spiritual power could instantly heal Liu Liyan's injury, he still liked this real feeling, and he always felt that the Liu Liyan who had come to the outer border seemed a bit different from the Liu Liyan of the Purple Yang Sect.

But he couldn't say exactly where the difference lay; it seemed she was more delicate than when she was in the Purple Yang Sect.

He took Liu Liyan's bandaged delicate jade hand, placed his wrist near his mouth and blew a few breaths, then gently rubbed it carefully: "Is it better now?"

He held Liu Liyan's bandaged delicate jade hand, placed her wrist near his mouth and gently blew a few breaths, then carefully rubbed it a little: 「Is it better now? 」

"Heibao, you continue reading."

"Ah oh oh, Young Master, the jade slip says Ye Xuan forcibly, let Lin……"

Just as he spoke halfway, Liu Liyan suddenly cut him off, lying on the bed shivering, slightly curling her body, slightly spreading her arms: "I'm cold, A Chen, hold me."

"Didn't you bring the Red Yang Jade Belt I gave you? Still cold? Then I'll take out the Blood Dragon Pearl for you." Su Chen had wanted to blame her, but upon seeing Liu Liyan's pitiful eyes, he couldn't muster any blame.

「You didn't carry the Scarlet Yang Jade Belt I gave you on you? Still cold? Then I'll take out the Blood Dragon Pearl for you. 」 Su Chen originally wanted to blame, but upon meeting Liu Liyan's pitiful eyes, he couldn't muster any blame.

He reached out to touch the exposed smooth white skin on Liu Liyan, then her forehead, and exclaimed, "Not cold! Could it be that when the Extreme Cold Syndrome flares up, it's hot outside but cold inside?"

Qingxia glanced at the Blood Dragon Pearl Su Chen took out, her mouth twitching: "……"

"Liyan, is it the Extreme Cold Syndrome acting up, causing an imbalance of yin and yang within your body?"

"Or did you sustain some strange injury on the way here?"

Liu Liyan lowered her eyes, her curled lashes trembling slightly; she very much wanted to righteously stop Su Chen from looking at that jade slip, and very much wanted Su Chen to stop worrying about Lin Jianran.

Liu Liyan lowered her eyes, her curled lashes trembling slightly; she really wanted to openly stop Su Chen from looking at that jade slip, really wanted Su Chen to stop worrying about Lin Jianran.

This dreamlike life, as fleeting as foam, was ultimately something she stole, using every means to seize it.

She dared not imagine what expression Su Chen would wear upon hearing the news of Lin Jianran's plea for help.

Would Su Chen not immediately abandon her and rush back to Heavenly Origin City at all costs?

"A Chen…… you earlier……" Liu Liyan no longer dared to look into Su Chen's eyes, she buried her face in his chest, her voice very weak as she said: "You earlier, when you said we were engaged, it was solely because of me."

"There was no other reason, nor was it to protect Lin Jianran; I truly just wanted to see you every day—is that sincere?"

These sudden words made Su Chen blink in surprise.

How did we suddenly drag that bitch Lin Jianran into this?

And still protect her?

If it weren't for the urgency of the departure time, Su Chen would have wanted to rush to the Lin Manor and give Lin Jianran a tight slap.

Su Chen gently stroked Liu Liyan's silver hair and replied, "Of course it's true."

Liu Liyan lightly pursed her red lips, her eye sockets slightly red.

Even now he's still coaxing her!

But it's also fine; he's still willing to waste effort to coax her.

Even if it's purpose-driven.

She is quite clear-headed, knowing she shouldn't be so stubborn, shouldn't be so obsessive, yet during this time A Chen's meticulous care for her, and the occasional gaze full of indulgence,

made it hard for her to restrain the damned possessive desire welling up in her heart……

She dreams of going to Heavenly Origin City and crippling Miss Lin with a single sword.

That way, no one could snatch A Chen from her side, and A Chen would forever belong only to her.

A Chen's gaze would always be only on her.

A Chen's gaze would always only be on her.

But she couldn't; she had to listen to A Chen's words, she had to be obedient, she had to respect any decision A Chen made: "If only this were true, how wonderful it would be—I always hope in my dreams......"

"Liyan, what are you saying? I didn't hear clearly."

"I'm saying, no matter what happens, you must not abandon me, let alone leave me behind; you can't just leave me alone here, okay?"

"What's with that head of yours, constantly daydreaming? How could I possibly abandon you?"

"Then I'll be relieved; if you dare to deceive me…… I will certainly do nothing, I also can't bear to do anything to you, but I will be very heartbroken, utterly desperate." Liu Liyan wanted to say some harsh words, but she found that even uttering something a bit stronger, she couldn't bear to say it.

She strove to suppress the sourness in her heart, strove to restrain that twisted love that had already arisen within her.

Leaving Su Chen's embrace.

Liu Liyan got out of bed, clutching the Blood Flood Pearl that constantly emitted warmth, she gave a meaningful glance to Qingxia, who was meditating in the corner, then she deeply glanced at Su Chen and said softly: "A Chen, I'm going out for a walk; remember to come pick me up later."
