801 Reluctant to Par (1/2)
Princess Ling Meng looked at him lifelessly, as if she did not understand anything he had just said. Jun Mo Xie sighed and decided to simply explain everything from start to end. From the moment Ye Gu Han and Murong Xiu Xiu died to the Grave of the Affectionate Couple, then how he instigated the second prince to obtain revenge… He went through every single event.
Princess Ling Meng finally understood. She closed her eyes in misery, tears falling endlessly from them.
My father sent assassins to kill my own mother. which is the same as killing Uncle Ye. This makes him my enemy, but no matter what, he is still my father…
After that, Jun Mo Xie designed a plot to make my father and three brothers kill each other, with all of them dying in this disaster. From this perspective, no matter what Jun Mo Xie's starting point was, he essentially helped me get my revenge. But… at the same time, he killed my father.
No matter how estranged our relationship is, but in the blood that flows in my veins…. that is still my father!
Princess Ling Meng was utterly at a loss and was starting to panic. What… should I do now?
She raised her head fearfully and looked at Jun Mo Xie. ”Third Young Master Jun… Jun Mo Xie, I… I… what should I do? Can someone tell me? What should I do? Can you tell me?”
Looking at Princess Ling Meng, Jun Mo Xie couldn't help but feel a sense of pity.
This person before him was the last remaining princess of the great royal family, a prideful woman of distinguished birth, an absolute beauty at the prime of her life! A woman like this should be enjoying her life being pampered, with everything going smoothly in her life. But she was so ill-fated!
Throughout her growing years, aside from her mother and an outsider, Ye Gu Han, no one else gave her the tiniest affection or warmth in the family. When she had finally grown up after much difficulty, her mother died tragically in the hands of her own father, right before her eyes. The person who doted on her the most, Ye Gu Han, also decided to die together with his love.
But that father who was her enemy was killed in the battle for power!
A princess of a nation reduced to an orphan. Now, the world was vast and hazy to her, without a single blood relative left. She didn't belong to this country, to any family or any relative! Aside from Jun Mo Xie, she no longer had anyone else that she could rely on! And Jun Mo Xie, to a certain extent, was still her foe who killed her father!
All the bizarre affairs of the world went as far as this!
All these countless misfortunes befalling upon one single person…
Yet all this was nothing more than the transformations of the world…
”Your mother entrusted you to me before she passed…” Jun Mo Xie decided to say it after pondering for a while. ”… and before Ye Gu Han passed, he also asked me to take good care of you…”
Jun Mo Xie had faced great difficulty in saying this. It felt extremely awkward. I killed her father and brothers, and now I'm trying to take care of her… what is this nonsense? Why do I feel like a greater evil than an evil tyrant?
But Jun Mo Xie had to admit that he also didn't wish to face Princess Ling Meng. This sort of feeling… not only was it uncomfortable for Princess Ling Meng, it was just as uncomfortable for him! No matter how much a villain the Emperor was, the blood ties between Princess Ling Meng and him could not be erased!
But this was what Murong Xiu Xiu and Ye Gu Han entrusted him with before their deaths. It was protection for Ling Meng! Similarly, Jun Mo Xie could not erase their affection! So he would just say it, and let Princess Ling Meng make the decision herself!
If Ling Meng chose to leave, Jun Mo Xie would naturally help make all necessary arrangements. But if she decided to stay, Jun Mo Xie would not oppose it. He would take it as the last thing he did for Murong Xiu Xiu and Ye Gu Han…
With regards to what followed after, he would just let nature take its course. Who knew what would happen.
Princess Ling Meng lowered her head, and her complexion was haggard and weak. Her impression of Jun Mo Xie had transformed from disgust, to curiosity, to admiration. And from gratitude for saving her life, it slowly evolved into the vague feelings of love… If she had heard of this news before this, she would probably be bashfully thrilled, but right now, she did not feel the tiniest bit of happiness…
Her heart was already completely filled with another matter!
She went from owning everything to losing everything in such a short period of time, that to her, it seemed like it was within a few seconds!
Before her mother died, she still had everything. The moment before her mother died, she was already unconscious, and by the time she woke up, everything was gone. Everything had completely changed…
It was the same as waking up from sleep and realizing that the entire world had changed!
A feeling like this was similar to the legendary transmigration. Transmigrating from Earth over to the Xuan Xuan Continent after waking up… but Princess Ling Meng had so many more sorrows than people who transmigrate…
It was indeed too difficult to bear!
”Listen to me, Ling Meng. You have to get yourself together; perhaps I shouldn't be saying this now, but we are pressed for time. I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible. Due to some reasons… at daybreak tomorrow, the entire Jun Family will retreat from Tian Xiang and move into the Tian Fa Forest and stay away from the regular mortal world!”
Jun Mo Xie continued. ”If you do not have any other arrangements, perhaps you can choose to leave with us. If you wish to stay, then I can inform Prince Equivalent to take good care of you. Prince Equivalent is an honest and considerate person; he will definitely treat you well.”
