Chapter 20: The Hurt of Honey (Part 1 of 4)I turned around, opened my eyes and sao female immortal attendants at the head of my bed I tried to lift up my body with my arm, but who knew that my arm would soften and I would fall back onto the bedThis movement startled the two female immortal attendants”Who is singing opera outside?” I askedOne of the female immortal attendants' eyes opened wide and she turned around to start to run outside, along the way she shouted, ”Quick! Quick tell the First Emperor! The Water God has awaken!” The other female immortal attendant was more serious She looked at me and her voice shook a little as she spoke, ”The Water God has slept for half a year and has finally awoke The First Eht”I furrowedopera outside?” The female immortal attendant replied, ”The First Emperor ascended the throne today In celebration, the Gods had set up a stage to sing opera from the mortal realms”I closed ?”The female immortal attendant answered respectfully, ”It's a form of opera called 'Kun Xi', it's called 'Startled Dream'”

”Startled dream Startled dream” I repeatedly murmured in my lips I suddenly lifted up my head and looked at her, ”First Emperor? Which First Emperor?”The female immortal attendant covered herWhich other First Eht Deity Just now, the First Emperor had taken the time to check on the Water God, and he had actually just left when the Water God awoke””Night Deity” My ht Deity are you talking about?” I pulled her sleeve, ”How about the Fire Deity? You said I have slept for half a year, why didn't the Fire Deity come and see me?””Fire Deity?” She looked confused and did not answer After I pulled her sleeve and repeated my question three or four times, she carefully replied, ”Fire Deity didn't the Fire Deity incinerate into ashes half a year ago?””Hong Long” there was a huge ru explode in my headHis every furrow, smile, raise of the handEmotional threadThe -shaped ice bladeHis backHis central divine coreBlood,down step by step, there was only the start, no end Yes, he died! I personally plunged the knife blade into his divine essence! I personally killed him! I personally saw his soul incinerate!I held bothpain in e of the bed, it was so painful I could not straightendug out alive and then splattered in blood and left lying on the ground I twistedas being cut off were not my hands?”Great God! Great God! Why? Please don't hurt yourself!”I hurt so greatly that my toes were knotted like I pulled a tendon I looked at her in loss and terror, ”Quick! My heart has disappeared! I have lost my heart! Help me find it! Quick! It must be somewhere in the house! You must find it! It's so painful, so painful I could die” I held the empty part of my chest and bunched into a ballThe female immortal attendant's face was terrified and she said, ”Yes, I will help you find, I will help you find” She searched around the bed, ”There's nothing nothingGreat God, there's nothing””If it's not on the bed, look below! Look outside the room! It must be somewhere!” I started to cry The heavy pain would not cease”What are you finding?” Soolden robes

Phoenix?

I paused with my eyes full of tears Everyone was quiet ”Find a heart First Emperor the Great God wants one ” The female immortal attendant murmured as if she had lost her soul”Jin Er, what's the matter?”The beautiful ie of paradise was destroyed all at once Phoenix has never once called ain by a knife, blood and flesh wasboth my hands, my throat felt like it was broken

”So bitter, so painful! A?” I looked at him at a lossNight grabbed htly said, ”No, you will not I am here, ill Jin Er die? What's more we must hold hands for ten thousands ten hundred thousands of years, even when the realh Jin Er has only slept for too long and your body is not used to it”I struggled, ”Don't touch me! I'm in pain!””Where is it painful?” Night gently looked at y to lessen the pain?” I pressedfro I could not tell where was the pain, it felt like the pain was everywhere I scrunched up , ”I do not know I don't knohere it hurts it's so bitter, my mouth is completely bitter Save me”Night ser be bitter” He transformed an icy sweet and personally fed it into my mouthThe sweet ue, but I only felt my throat became more bitter, so bitter I squeezed ue was dyed blood red So it turns out only Daddy's icy sweet is sugary, but, Daddy is no longer aroundNight looked at the sweet that was covered in blood His broere downcast as he used his fingers to transfer divine essence into my back, ”Don't be worried, Jin Er, it will be ok, everything will be ok”I choked with sobs until my throat was so dry it could not release anydown my cheeks, as if it would never stop I did not knohy I was like this as if soht's hand, ”I must have been struck by a voodoo spell from the mortal realms Can you solve it for me?””Yes, I will solve it for you, Jin Er, don't be scared I a tablet with honey water for s of terror subside I gradually felt more tired and slowly fell asleep, but even my dreams had a shadow of pain I did not kno long I slept - how hts, such that I finally slept away the pain, slept the bitterness from my throat until it seeped into the very finest strands of my hair When I finally awoke, it was spring The glow of spring entered fro in the yard So the 'qin' (stringed musical instruBarefooted, I walked out and passed the person playing the qin”Jin Er, you have finally awoke Please don't continue sleeping like this? I'm afraid that before I have the chance to rew old” I did not dare turn back to face the person at the qin actually, I did not dare to look at the qin, because there was once, someone tall and proud whose back had faced me as he played the qin In the end, that qin, broke; that person, leftI touched my cheeks, they were dry without any trace of e directions, although they had becale drop will appear on ain Night hugged htly on my shoulder, ”Jin Er, look - the flowers have blossoood?”I gently moved away and did not answerYes! Thehas opened, the flowers have blossoain, but why can't I see you? The actual Chinese title is 密糖之伤 - 密糖 means honey and 伤 means hurt/injury I have translated it as ”The Hurt of Honey” which is rather aard, but what I think Dian Xian is trying to express is a hurt that is both painful and sweetThe chapter actually starts with a few lines of opera, but it's too complicated and has notthose linesHere's a link to the video if you want to see what type of opera Kun Xi is!

I love how there's a duality in the pain that resides in her and how she describes the pain as seeping into her hair Even if she is not entirely conscious of it, it is clear her pain lies in the emotional thread she had cut ahen she thrust the blade into PhoenixTo read about the last ti her, click here

Co and pain Jin Mi deserves this and doesn't deserve this at the same time I found it very apt that Jin Mi described the pain in her heart as if someone had placed a voodoo spell on her or a voodoo wormif you read the earlier chapters, everyti of emotion from Phoenix, a pain in her heart, she had described it as a wor Pill inside of herNight may try and heal her bitterness with honey and sweetness, but perhaps the title hints that that honey sweetness could be the greatest pain of all
