Chapter 248 – The Night Before Heaven Basin
“Are you alright?” Chu Yuechan said, trying to sound less cold. However, because she was being hugged, her heartbeat had gone out of control and she had to make use of the Frozen Cloud Arts to calm herself.
Over the past five months, she had constantly been embraced by him. She could not possibly be more familiar with his touch. Sometime within that period of time, she had unknowingly started to enjoy the feeling of being embraced. However, a voice within told her that she had no choice but to be embraced because she was paralyzed and had to depend on him for protection. It was different now… She had already made a grave mistake by sleeping with him and she should not continue making more mistakes…
Yun Che pressed the entirety of his body weight onto Chu Yuechan, looking very feeble in a half-dead manner. He said in a very weak voice: “I… I’m okay. Little Fairy… don’t leave me…”
“…” Chu Yuechan could not reply. Hearing Yun Che speak with such a weak voice had sent pain equivalent to needles piercing through her heart. She couldn’t bear to push Yun Che aside. She could only quietly be embraced by him… She had actually tried to steel herself to push him aside, but she couldn’t bear to do so in the end.
It’s already very late. There’s only the two of us here and there’ll be nobody around to disturb us. He’s also badly wounded… I’ll give in this once. It’ll be the last time… This was what Chu Yuechan constantly repeated in her heart to console and convince herself.
It was only until Chu Yuechan had sent her profound energy into Yun Che’s body to check Yun Che’s current condition…
Bang!
The moment Yun Che had been pushed away by Chu Yuechan, his back hit the wall and he grimaced in pain and shouted: “Ah, it hurts. It hurts!”
“You actually dare to deceive me in this manner!” Chu Yuechan coldly said, her face still as cold as ever but her eyes showing her sullen mood. Although on the surface she was angry, she had felt relief in her heart upon knowing that his wounds were taking a turn for the better. However, this sort of relieved feeling had caused her mind to go into disorder… She was not supposed to be able to feel this way.
Yun Che rubbed his back with his hands and said in a pitiful manner: “I thought my Little Fairy would have just left like that. Little Fairy, I know that for the past few days, you have always…”
“You’re not allowed to continue talking!”
Chu Yuechan’s chest was trembling as she interrupted Yun Che with a cold tone. She turned around, and said with a cold voice devoid of emotion: “What has happened between you and I was a mistake. I have almost forgotten about it. I hope that you will do the same. If you’re unable to forget about it, then just pretend it was all but a dream. Please do not attempt to make it a reality.”
Yun Che: “…”
“What has happened between you and I cannot be known by outsiders. If you do not wish to encounter difficulties because of it, please do not reveal the six stages of the Frozen Cloud Arts that you have obtained… You are Qingyue’s husband. If you do not wish for her and Frozen Cloud Asgard to become the laughing stock of the world, and be questioned about their morals ethics, please forget about me…”
Chu Yuechan closed both of her eyes, and the ice spirits around her body floated around her in a crazed manner: “Once we leave Heavenly Sword Villa, we shall never meet again.”
After saying that, Chu Yuechan vanished from Yun Che’s sight. Yun Che could only silently gaze at the ice spirits which have yet to disappear…
“Sigh.” After a while, Yun Che returned to the bed and let out a long sigh. He put both of his hands on his nose and could still vaguely smell her fragrance, which was similar to an ice lotus.
“Looks like you’re unable to attain your goals.” Jasmine gloated.
“You won’t understand.” Yun Che tilted his head and muttered before sighing again. He gave Chu Yuechan’s parting words some thought… “Laughing stock of the world’, ‘questioned about their morals ethics’’… these words had been deeply etched into his mind.
Xia Qingyue was his wife.
Chu Yuechan was Xia Qingyue’s Senior Master, and at the same time, was also partially her teacher.
Matters that had violated moral ethics would definitely draw the attention of the world… Especially if it concerned a respected sect in Blue Wind Empire, like Frozen Cloud Asgard.
Even if Chu Yuechan truly had feelings for him as an individual, at the same time she was Frozen Cloud Asgard’s Fairy of Frozen Beauty. She could not knowingly ruin Frozen Cloud Asgard’s thousand year reputation without regard for the consequences.
Regardless of how she felt, rejection, was the only choice she could make.
