Chapter 633 - Feelings That Reached The Depths (1/2)
A thick fog had completely shrouded the Green Dragon Lake.
Fire Qilin lowered his gaze to look at her. His large red talons moved two steps forward as he uttered, “Lady Wei Wei…”
Helian Wei Wei did not entertain him. Instead, the first words she uttered after lifting her head was, “How is he?”
“His physical body is still here and the Soul Returning Light had not gone out yet, but…” Fire Qilin glanced at the flame beside them and continued, “Master has not come back.”
Helian Wei Wei clenched both of her hands as she lowered her head and started mumbling, “He hasn’t come back? How is that possible? The way that he put it clearly meant that he would be coming back.” However, the price for him to come back was his hatred for her.
Fire Qilin also felt dismayed and uttered gravely, “There is still time left until the forty-ninth day. Since the Soul Returning Light has not gone out, it means that Master is still considering it. However…”
“He will definitely come back!” Helian Wei Wei interjected. Her eyes shone as she rambled on, “He hates me so much. How could he not come back? Someone as grudging as him would never be satisfied until he comes back and destroys me with his own two hands.”
Fire Qilin was stunned and asked, “So, you ordered me to burn the Red Soul Binding Rope? You wanted to make him hate you so much that he will be forced to return?”
To be honest, after living for so many years, Fire Qilin had seen many languis.h.i.+ng youths and desperate maidens, and those who would die for Master were also not unheard of.
However, there was no one like Helian Wei Wei who would give anything just to keep His Highness alive. Truly, she was the only one in the world.
However…
“What if His Highness really hates you after he returns?” Fire Qilin could not help but ask.
Helian Wei Wei’s eyes darkened at first, but shortly after, they lit up brightly with smiles. “Then, I will make him fall in love with me again. Besides, there won’t be hate if there isn’t love in the first place.”
Fire Qilin wanted to remind her that if everything could be so well-predicted, there would not be so much regret in this world.
I fear that all he has left for her was pure hatred and none of the love…
Helian Wei Wei was too smart to not consider this possibility.
If there was enough time, she could have explained everything to him in detail…
Unfortunately, the circ.u.mstances did not allow it. Thus, she had to gamble for this one time!
“Bang!”
There was barely any time for Helian Wei Wei to think.
An unusually loud rumble echoed from the bottom of the lake.
Then, the Earth quaked twice. As Helian Wei Wei controlled her stance, she stared at Fire Qilin and asked, “What’s going on?”
“It’s the Green Dragon.” Fire Qilin began to feel anxious as he said, “It has been like this for the past few days. Someone has set up a tactical formation with the intention to subdue the Green Dragon. Moreover, the strong aura of resentment has also been affecting it. It could only depend on ramming against the bottom of the lake to maintain its sanity.”
Helian Wei Wei squinted and kept mum. With her fingers braced against the ground, she leaped into the depths of the lake.
“In the name of thy life, awaken thy name. Yuan Ming, come forth!” Helian Wei Wei suspended herself in the midst of the lake. Her black hair drifted in the gentle waves around her face, while her long robes freely swept around her.
An amorphous current surrounded her on both sides, like a natural barrier. A faint light radiated from it as it diverged the water around her, exposing an open s.p.a.ce around her.
A figure was standing behind Helian Wei Wei. His silver hair seemed like the rays of moonlight which framed his extraordinarily handsome features. The gaze from his narrow eyes was heavily layered with wicked charm. The aura of resentment dissipated around him, as if all demons could not come near him.
Somehow, Helian Wei Wei felt that after her return, Yuan Ming was slightly different from before. However, she could not point out what was different about him.
It was Yuan Ming who laughed first as he asked in a devilish manner, “Why have you summoned me?”
“Swallow all the aura of resentment in the Green Dragon Lake!” Helian Wei Wei knew nothing about tactical formations. She would give it her all and hold nothing back. There was nothing wrong with being unrefined. After all, she was quite ruthless anyway.
Yuan Ming raised his brows and looked at her, replying, “I need someone to split open the bottom of the lake so that I can clear the aura of resentment.”
