Chapter 144 - Words of the Wise (1/2)

{...*What the hell do you think you're doing?! Stop that this instant!...}

The bracelet shouted in Lei Xing's mind. Lei Xing was so out of it that her mind did not process the information, the only thing she was focused on was on the kiss and the heat coursing through her body.

{...*I said stop it! You'll ruin everything! I said STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT!!!!....}

Lei Xing's eyes flew open and she shoved hard at Prince Yi, gasping for breath as she steadied herself on the wall and held her fuzzy head, feeling panicked.

{...What am I- Am I...What the-...}

Prince Yi frowned and went to grab her arm again and Lei Xing immediately pushed at him and darted into the crowd. Prince Yi immediately followed after her, he was not thinking of anything other than to get her back in his arms.

{...*LEAVE HER ALONE!...}

Prince Yi knit his brows and ignored the voice.

{...*I said stop it! Are you trying to get yourself KILLED?!...}

Prince Yi kept chasing after Lei Xing, she was moving quite fast but he kept an eye on her head and followed quickly.

{...*Are you trying to get her KILLED?!... I said STOP!...}

Prince Yi finally stopped in his tracks and his mind finally kicked in.

{...What the hell did I just do?...}

{...*Hmph! Try to get yourself killed...We can still save this, turn around this instant and go home!..}

{...But...}

Prince Yi looked into the crowd, he could no longer see Lei Xing.

{...But she's-...}

{...*She is none of your business and is only trouble...for you! She'll be fine so you go home right now!...}

Prince Yi frowned and looked down at his hands. This was a stupid move, he knew that. It was one that could end him, he knew that...But still, he wanted her.

His frowned deepened and he swiftly turned and stormed off in the opposite direction, he was feeling irritated. Irritated with her, himself, his brother and with the way things were...and what infuriated him the most was that he actually felt irritated he could not have her.

{...*sigh* It seems I have underestimated your level of attachment to her...It will do you no goo-...}

{...I don't need you to tell me that!...}

The voice sighed gave a long sigh and then left him to his anger.

Meanwhile, Lei Xing was blindly running with no sense of direction, with only the thought that she needed to get home in her head. She then bumped into someone's back and fell to the ground. She held onto her fuzzy head, feeling incredibly hot and uncomfortable. She hated this feeling.

”Are you okay?” The person turned and asked bending down to help her up. The moment his hand touched her arm, Lei Xing felt a jolt shoot through her and she shoved the hand away and barked, ”Don't touch me!” Then she stumbled to her feet and ran off again.

{...I need to get home...}

She was breathily heavily and it felt like her head was spinning and she kept tugging at her collar, fighting the urge to strip to help combat the heat. After a long while, her thoughts finally met a roadblock.

{...Home...Where?...The palace?...Home...No...Home...}

Lei Xing stopped in her tracks and blankly stared at the passing crowd. She did not know where to go. Eventually, she stumbled her way to a corner and crumbled to the ground. Her limbs were felt weak and she was feeling extremely hot, tired, frustrated and unnerved. Her hands kept fiddling with her clothes while she was fighting the fire burning inside.
