Chapter 141: Ye Wuchen’s Revenge (1/2)

At five in the morning, the sky was still murky with thick fog covering everywhere. This kind of weather was most unsuitable to set out on a long journey, but it did not influence Ye Wuchen’s journey.

The finest top-of-the-line red horse of the Ye Family, a young man less than twenty years of age, and two young ladies interdependent with him. All the things he needed were already stored inside his ring from the God of Sword.

“Do you really need to bring them with you? It’s really dangerous outside… Mother can take care of them for you.” Although she knew that she would be rejected, Wang Wenshu still tried to persuade him once more. A major part of her reason was that she was worried that these two girls might become a burden.

“En, they are used to being with me and I don’t want to part from them either. Don’t worry, I won’t let them or myself have any mishaps.” Ye Wuchen explained once again, then he pushed open the main gate of Ye residence.

In the middle of the thick fog, a slightly trembling yet delicate figure could be seen. Ye Wuchen was startled at first, then frightened. Releasing the ropes of his horse, he quickly ran over to embrace the figure in his arms, feeling sorry he said, “Xiao RouRou, how long have you been waiting?”

Hua Shuirou’s entire body was wet because the dew. Ye Wuchen used his hand to touch it, feeling that it was entirely ice-cold. He did not know how long she had been waiting there. Feeling sorry for her, he no longer cared about other things and gathered some mild element of fire from the surroundings to warm up her body.

Wang Wenshu also rushed over to hold her ice-cold hand, somewhat reprimanding, “Foolish child, why didn’t you come inside?”

“I-I’m not cold.” Her body was shivering and her lips were a little bit pale. She worried that she will not be able to see him off in person if he left early, and concealing herself from her father, Hua Shuirou had been waiting here when the sky was still pitch-black. Fearing that she might disturb Ye Wuchen and the Ye Family’s peaceful sleep, she did not dare to call out when she arrived and just quietly sat there as she anxiously waited for him to come out.

“Look at you now, still saying you are not cold. When did my Xiao RouRou learn to lie to her own husband?” Ye Wuchen protected her in his chest. Under his great efforts, Hua Shuirou’s body eventually started to warm up. She leaned her entire weight on his chest and foolishly said, “With you hugging me, how can I feel cold?”

Ye Wuchen gently laughed and hugged her tightly once again. “I will be back as soon as I can, just patiently wait for me. On the day of my return, let’s get married… Even if the Emperor won’t allow it, I will make him agree to it.”

After a short moment of silence, she happily mumbled, “En…”

After a good while, she lightly pushed away Ye Wuchen, then took out a small bundle wrapped in cloth from her chest then placed it in his hand. “Husband, these are the clothes I have made for you during these past few days, and a pair of shoes. My daddy said that for about ten miles southward you might not see any households, so I have prepared some food, it should be enough for your lunch today.”

She extended both her hands to take off the necklace from her neck. It was a multi-colored ring-like jade pendant, standing on tiptoe, she gently placed it on Ye Wuchen’s neck. At the same time she looked into his eyes lovingly and said, “This is my mother’s necklace, handed down from generation to generation in her family. When I was born, my mother let me wear it to protect me throughout my life. Now I let it be worn by my husband, so that it may protect my husband on his journey, until your safe return.”

Ye Wuchen’s heart felt like it was being melted by her warmth. A sudden thought came into his mind, if it was not for the unknown accident that brought him into this world, it would have been some goddamn bastard who was enjoying this warmth.

He held the small bundle tightly and held her hand. “Wait for me…”

At this time, he could only say these three simple words to her.

“Go now. The earlier you go, the earlier you can return.” Hua Shuirou arranged the hair around his forehead and the part of his clothes that she had crumpled. She was reluctant to part from him yet she knew that he must have his own reasons to leave very early. She can love him, long for him, miss him, be unwilling to let go of him, yet she could not afford to be a burden for him, nor delay him.

“Go now, and be careful along the way. If the your goal is unattainable, you must come home earlier. Your safety is the most important matter of all.” Ye Wei, who had been silent all the time, had suddenly spoken. This time was the imperial court’s assembly time, but he and Ye Nu did not go. Even if Ye Wuchen had shown confidence, they were still deeply worried and sick at heart. Because…If something were to happen by chance, this might be their last moments being with each other.

“Go now, the earlier the better, so no one will be able to discover it.” Ye Nu tossed his hand as he sighed. This old man had not been able to sleep soundly the whole night. He had wanted to step out of his bed several times to convince Ye Wuchen to give up this mission. His main concern was not dealing with the Emperor, but dealing with Ye Wuchen.

“Chen-er, don’t stress yourself out there. Please don’t get thinner. You should make use of those silvers…” Wang Wenshu pulled Hua Shuirou’s hand, since she was so reluctant to part.

Ye Wuchen nodded, his gaze swept through all of them, as he carried Ning Xue and Tong Xin and jumped back on the horse. Without looking back, he rode and left. The sound of the horse’s hooves was particularly loud and clear in the midst of silence but it gradually disappeared through the thick fog.

At the corner, Ye Wuchen finally glanced back. Being covered by the thick fog, they were not able to see his figure anymore, but Ye Wuchen could still see them clearly. Hua Shuirou was still maintaining her posture as she stood, her gaze was still indistinctly looking at his direction and she refused to leave. Aside from them, he saw another figure… The whole night last night, she had exposed herself under the moonlight until he left. Still sorrowfully looking at his figure from behind was Ye Shuiyao.

After two hours, from the gates of the Ye residence came the extremely sorrowful voice of Long Huang-er as she yelled out, “You big scoundrel… Big scoundrel! Just to see you off, it was my very first time as a princess to wake up very early, but you already left… Boo-hoo, you are so bad! I really hate you!!”

………………………………………………………………………………

Time: More than ten minutes after Ye Wuchen left.

Location: Imperial Study Room of Tian Long Imperial Palace.

A black ghost-like shadow emerged behind Long Yin. It bowed and said, “Your Majesty, he has already left. But one thing I can’t understand is the two young girls, who slept with him normally, are also with him.”
