They grew up together, accompanied each other day and night, and had never separated for even a day… Yet that was three years ago. And the three years of separation, to them, was as long and unbearable as though three centuries.
Xiao Lingxi’s complexion was very pale, her breathing was also extremely weak. Even though her body didn’t fall to the ground, the impact from falling and the as gentle as possible impact from the Profound Handle’s energy, made the profound energy and aura in her body become chaotic, while also considerably injuring her innards. If not for the yearning to take a glance at Yun Che, she would’ve already fainted.
She stared at Yun Che blankly, her gaze clouded and misty as if she was in an illusory dream. Slowly, her eyes that had been previously filled with the will to die began to shine with more and more expressions… Joy, tenderness, moved, satisfaction, gratification… She felt herself being hugged tightly in his embrace. Back then, just how familiar and usual that was; but this time, was far too long ago from last time… Lying down in his arms quietly just like this, she stopped hearing all other sounds, stopped feel any pain and weakness on her body, and forgot all the danger she had just encountered… In her heart, only ease, warmth, and happiness that only he could give was left…
The corner of her lips curled up bit by bit, and her snow jadelike hand lifted little by little, gently covering Yun Che’s face. From within her lips, a voice like the gentle breeze flowed: “Little Che… You’ve finally… come back…”
This one light sentence of a few words, had actually made Yun Che distinctively feel a wave of care and longing as great as the ocean. At that instant, Yun Che almost erupted with tears on the spot. And Xiao Lingxi’s hand had also fallen at this moment, as her entire person completely went unconscious.
Three years without meeting, Xiao Lingxi had grown taller, yet her waist became even more slender and soft. Holding her in his arms, she felt as light as a bundle of silk, without any sense of weight… She had grown up, from a fifteen year old naive girl, to an eighteen year old graceful young woman. Yet, she had become so thin. In these three most valuable years of a person’s life, what she had endured was unbearable loneliness and miserableness, as well as longing and yearning that accompanied her throughout day and night.
Yun Che stood up, and silently raised his head. On the high up Mortal Parting Heavenly Pavilion, he saw two figures that were looking down from above… One, was Fen Juecheng, and the other, was Fen Juechen!
A surge of ferocious killing intent released from his body; the resentment in his heart, was monstrously undulating like the ocean’s waves. However, he forcefully suppressed all of his killing intent and hatred. Holding Xiao Lingxi in his embrace, he summoned out the already exhausted Snow Phoenix Beast, and rushed straight toward the east…
He no longer wished to go on fighting… He only wanted to take Little Aunt safely away from here, as soon as possible! Whether it was rage or resentment, even if they were millions of times more intense, they were not the slightest importance compared to Xiao Lingxi.
Just as Yun Che saved Xiao Lingxi, Burning Heaven Clan also had a huge movement.
“Deploy the Heavenfire Star Burning Formation right now!!” Fen Duanhun roared… Seeing the miserable scene of elders and pavilion masters corpses scattered about, he could no longer stay calm, as his voice became distorted and violent.
Fen Moji, who was similarly still shaken was greatly startled by this command from Fen Duanhun, hastily said: “But… But Clan Master, Heavenfire Star Burning Formation should only be used when the sect encounters an enemy that could cause us to perish, once it’s used, it needs an entire three hundred years to construct again…”
