C39 (1/2)

I stood at the side of the Bridge of Forgetfulness, blankly staring at the River of Forgetfulness. I didn't say anything, nor did I think about how I came here. I just wanted to see if there were any familiar faces in the Forgetfulness River.

The ghosts of the Forgetfulness River came and went, and I looked at the ghosts, but I did not see anyone I knew.

I paced forward slowly, trying to get a better look, but someone grabbed me.

”Little Yin, don't go any further.”

I turned around and saw Feng Tian Yu standing behind me. His expression was so sad, so pitiful. What was he feeling sorry for? Do you pity me?

Oh, that's right. From today onwards, I will become an orphan. My closest family members will no longer be around.

”Are you pitying me for being an orphan?”

Seeing my blank expression, Feng Tian Yu knew that I was greatly agitated and didn't know how to reply. He could only gently pull me into his embrace and pat my back.

”You are not an orphan. You still have me. I will always be with you. Don't be sad, okay?”

I touched my eyes but there were no tears. I didn't even cry. How could I be considered sad?

”I'm not sad, and I don't need anyone to accompany me. I'm fine, Feng Tian Yu.”

Feng Tian Yu turned around and carried me to his room. He slowly placed me on the bed and poured a glass of water from the table.

”Have some water, I'll send you back later.”

I looked at the dragon carving on the top of the bed and didn't say anything. I didn't want to move.

”Why am I here?”

This is the Underworld, after I faint I should be on the human world, by Xia Mingyuan's side, not here.

”It's the Wutong Lovesick Formation. You're in too much pain, so much pain that the Wutong Formation gave me a reaction. I felt your pain, and I knew you weren't in a good condition, so I used the formation to call you over.”

”Did you capture him in the end? ”Alright, then I won't have to face the matters of the mortal world.”

Feng Tian Yu shook his head and tidied up the hair at the sides of my cheeks. Then, he pulled up the blanket and carefully placed it on top of me.

”The wutong Formation only attracted your soul because you were too upset. You ran away and fainted. That's why your soul was summoned by me. When you wake up, your soul will return to your body. ”

I thought I was too sad and already dead, but I just fainted. I didn't want to wake up. It's good to stay in the underworld, and maybe I'll even meet my grandma.

”Kill me? ”I'm by Xia Mingyuan's side. Find him and kill me. That way I won't need to go back. I'm willing to stay with you, as long as you can let me see Grandmother …”

Feng Tian Yu covered my mouth to stop me from continuing. I don't understand why he wouldn't let me go on when he wanted me so much and wanted me to stay in the underworld.

”You can't see your grandmother, and I won't kill you. I love you, and I want you to stay with me, but I don't want to hurt you. ”Even though I fought with Chu Wei and tried to force you, I didn't really want to harm you.”

The Infernal King actually knows love? If he had known earlier, why would he have forcefully taken me away from my grandmother?
