C25 (1/2)
The night wind was very cold, and her melody was faint and resentful, like an evil spirit that was about to take its life. However, she was still able to produce a mournful sound from her light and gentle tune, causing the hairs on her body to stand on end.
Even the wild beasts that loved to roar at night stopped their roars. The hostility and bloodlust on Yun Duan's body were very strong, especially on such a quiet and desolate night. If she did not suppress them on purpose, then it would only become more and more exuberant.
The small animals that had been surrounding the tree began to flee in panic. The tune slowly lowered its pitch and slowly turned into a whimper. It was ice-cold and terrifying.
Siyan Qingjun frowned. The lower the pitch of the song, the more he frowned.
Yun Duan shook her legs. She didn't feel like she had created any kind of terrifying sound. It was just that she wasn't in a good mood, so she played another song.
This time it was a soul-calling song, sharp and desolate, as if weeping. The gaze of the clouds stared unconsciously in a certain direction, and the soul-calling song of the desolate mountains seemed to ring in his ears,” ”Sad, sad, sad, sad, weeping,” and the eyes of the clouds stared unconsciously in a certain direction.
She had felt a little cold at the time, but now she thought it was rather nice. The more she blew, the more excited she became.
The Cloud Valley was not a barren mountain. No souls dared to approach the Misty Lord's area.
However, her voice frightened a bunch of small animals. Even the extremely evil beast hiding in the cave was trembling from head to toe, completely oblivious to her presence.
She seemed to have entered a state of selflessness, a world of nothingness where pain and grief were forgotten. She had always wanted to free herself, but she was unwilling to do so because she had yet to avenge her great enemy, and she still hated Imperial Concubine Yu secretly. She didn't want to call her Consort in private, but A-Rui was different, she was still so young and soft.
No one knew how scared and helpless she was when she stopped breathing in her arms, cold as ice. But no one cared.
Her Ariel.
The wind suddenly picked up, its shrill voice was so loud that the timid animals were all leaning against each other, their bodies trembling.
Within the bamboo house, Siyan Qingjun suddenly turned around. The wind from his fingers lit up the candle. He walked out of the bamboo house and his figure flashed in the direction of Yun Duan. He was extremely fast.
Yun Duan only felt her body being forcefully lifted up, and then the whistling of the wind was heard. When her feet touched the ground, she discovered that she had already arrived at the bamboo house.
The room was lit by candles. The light was not strong, and there was not much warmth.
She looked at Si Yan Qing Jun, and suspiciously blinked her eyes, ”What do you mean? You're willing to leave the valley? ”
Shiyan Qingjun waved his sleeve. A basin came from somewhere, and it was filled with water. Yun Duan took a look and did not understand.
In a situation where she didn't understand, she was pressed head first into a basin of water by Si Yan Qing Jun. She was face down, and because she wasn't prepared, she choked on the water. She struggled, but to no avail.
Just like this, Siyan Qingjun had used up all of the strength in Yun Duan's body. Her legs were weak to the point that she almost couldn't stand up. Her eyes and mouth were filled with water, and she was coughing so much that she didn't even have the strength to scold men.
”Are you awake yet?” His voice was ice-cold, without the slightest ripple.
Yun Duan uncomfortably blinked. She was so stimulated by the water that her eyes were red and her nose was sour. She looked up at Siyan Qingjun and angrily asked, ”What do you mean?”
”Are you awake?”
He didn't want to sleep, so what was he trying to do by tormenting her? She had only played two songs and he didn't want to hear them to block his ears. In any case, with his cultivation level, it wasn't impossible for him to seal his senses.
Seeing that Yun Duan was only staring at him, he nodded his head. ”It seems you're not awake yet!” As he spoke, he pushed the clouds back into the water. This time, it was slightly longer than usual.
Just as the hidden guards from the clouds were about to make their move, Siyan Qingjun coldly said, ”If you take one more step, I'll take her life!”
Yun Duan struggled, but Si Yan Qing Jun's strength was so great that Yun Duan wasn't even able to struggle free.
The guards knew that the Misty King had always been a man of his word, so they had no choice but to leave obediently.
As soon as Siyan Qingjun let go, Yun Duan suddenly raised her head, splashing water everywhere.
”Cough, cough, cough …” She choked on her words. She had no more strength left in her body. She fell to the ground weakly. Her hands trembled and her body trembled.
Siyan Qingjun glanced at her, then waved his sleeve and closed the door. He walked over to the stall and threw a large handkerchief at her head. ”Sleep!”
With that, he turned and entered the room without closing the door. Yun Duan slowly clenched her trembling hands as the light in her eyes dimmed. Only after a long time did she slowly wipe her face clean.
Ye Zichen got up and got into bed. The moonlight just happened to shine in, shining on her pale face, giving off a kind of soul-stirring beauty. The clouds looked at the moon, and the corners of their mouths curled up in sadness.
That night, the various animals in the valley did not make a single sound. It was quiet to the point of deathly silence, and only when the sky was about to turn bright did the clouds slowly fall asleep, tears still in the corners of their eyes.
However, no matter how late she slept, the nightmare continued to haunt her. Like a vengeful spirit, it tightly gripped onto her consciousness. She wanted to escape, but she could not.
She could only moan in pain, even begging for mercy. She was afraid, extremely afraid. No matter how she tried to disguise it, what happened that year was still unforgettable for her. It was even carved into her soul, making her unable to break free.
