Chapter 1642 - Hate (3) (1/2)

Even after Dyon dispelled the cold, Jade's body uncontrollably shivered. When Dyon realized why this was, he couldn't help but sigh. Jade currently had no cultivation to speak of, she had severed all of her meridians. This was likely her own resolve, only in this way could she guarantee that she would never try to escape the iced cage. By now, her meridians had atrophied so much that even Dyon's Meridian Nurturing Pill would have no effect.

Jade's eyes slowly opened, their swirling opal color seeming far dimmer than Dyon remembered. She looked around in confusion, seemingly not realizing the only reason she could stand now was because Dyon was holding onto her shoulders.

She looked left and right, not registering that the wide c.h.e.s.t before her was in fact a c.h.e.s.t. Since she was a head shorter than Dyon despite being quite tall for a woman, if she didn't look up, she wouldn't see his face at all.

Jade trembled when she realized she was in the Eostre family tombs. When she looked back to see Ms. Everdeen's crystal coffin, a stream of tears began to roll over the already frozen ones that covered her delicate face.

When she looked up to see Dyon holding her up, her trembling turned into a fierce quaking. She couldn't control her own body, unable to rein in her own emotions.

Suddenly, she began to scream. Her hands shot up to her head, knocking Dyon's arms away from herself as she stumbled backward, falling onto the ground.

”Put me back! Put me back!”

Dyon was stunned. Had he used any real strength, it would be impossible for Jade to brush him off so easily. But, her frame had been so frail that he didn't dare to be too rough. In the end, the result was the situation he saw before him now.

Still, of all the scenarios Dyon had thought of before he awakened Jade, he couldn't help but kick himself for not thinking of this one.

At the moment, Jade looked exactly like her 18 year old self. She hadn't aged a single day, which let Dyon know exactly how long she had been trapped within the ice. Some time between when Meiying escaped the Daiyu and before Dyon fought Loki and Elder Daiyu, Jade had entombed herself here. Due to the ice freezing her aging, his and Jade's roles in each other's lives had completely reversed. If before Jade was the m.a.t.u.r.e elder sister, it was now Dyon's turn to be the elder.

”Put me back!” Jade's ravings didn't stop. But, there was something tangibly different between this time and the last. If last time, Jade had lost her mind, this time, it was precisely because Jade was entirely lucid that this was happening.

Dyon suddenly stood frozen, he had no idea what to do. The level of pain and heartbreak in Jade's voice was so tangible that he felt a trembling deep within his soul.

She didn't want to be in this world anymore. The only reason she hadn't killed herself for the deeds she committed because being forced to kneel for all eternity was a far harsher sentence, one she gladly placed upon herself. She simply couldn't accept being released, least of all could she accept that Dyon was the first person she saw.
