Chapter 138 - What Hides Behind Bitter May Be Sweet

Before Ye Zhaojue and other people came in, Bai Aoxue entered the secret passage under the leadership of Zi Yuanyue.

Looking at the subtly structured secret passage, Bai Aoxue couldn’t help admiring people who made it. But at that moment, she didn’t have time to observe these secret devices at all, because the roar in front of her scared her.

She knew that it was Jun Yeyan’s voice, but now it was hoarse. His voice cooled people’s heart and made people a little depressed.

“You know, my princess. Master doesn’t want you to see his most embarrassed appearance. But at this moment, he… Maybe when you step into that door and enter the bright place, you can see Master you have never seen before. Looking at him, you will… you will…” Zi Yuanyue sobbed gently and chocked for several times.

Bai Aoxue was carried by several people on a soft chair.

Zi Yuanyue was on her left. She shrugged her shoulders slightly. Bai Aoxue sighed and felt sad. Such feelings were particularly contradictory, so she had always disliked the feelings of attaching to people since they were born like these.

In her previous life, she had already given up such feelings and never dawdled. But in this life, she came to the Great Continent. She couldn’t help but gradually fell in love with these feelings.

These feelings let her know the feelings a real man should have. She had never experienced these feelings.

Although her heart sometimes was hurt badly, she still felt happy.

There would be many troubles, but now she was not bothered.

Like Jun Yeyan rubbed her hair, Bai Aoxue raised her hand gently and rubbed Zi Yuanyue’s hair and said: “I have seen Jun Yeyan’s embarrassed appearance. It is not the first time he hurt me. Last time, it was on my right shoulder, and this time, it is on my heart. I didn’t leave him even so.”

“Everyone has been in a mess, but even so, they still have the right to be happy, don’t they? Jun Yeyan has always been lucky because he is surrounded by people who believe him and follow him like you. I accompanied him through the most difficult time. Now, it’s just a little bumpy in his long life. Do you think I will leave him because of his embarrassment?”

Listening to Bai Aoxue’s words, Zi Yuanyue’s body was slightly shocked. Although she was still twitching, she stopped crying.

And several people carrying the soft chair listened to Bai Aoxue’s words, too. They were straighter than before, and their arms were more and more powerful. They walked steadily, in order to make Bai Aoxue feel reposeful.

The woman who could say this was worthy of Master.

“But, princess, Master will be sad…” Zi Yuanyue was hesitated.

Through gradually approaching the light, the warm yellow light that brought light for the darkness and was swaying cheered people up, just like Bai Aoxue at this moment.

Once she grasped the rope called darkness tightly. She was willing to fall, and her hands were stained with blood. She did so only for survive.

Now, she was also in the depravity, because she had no choice but the darkness. But she met the same person as her, or even more than her, who had been reduced to darkness and integrated with it.

She just wanted to follow her heart without any reason. She wanted to be with him. She would walk in front of him no matter what was ahead of him. Even if the light was weak, she would light up the road for him.

“Don’t be silly. Jun Yeyan needs me most when he is like this. Can you see the light in front of us? Like him, I yearn for it but hate it.” Bai Aoxue pointed to the light and said.

“Do you know why? It’s dazzling. People like us who can never get the light will certainly only hate it. But even if I can’t get that light, I won’t let him get lost.” After a while, yearning for light once in Bai Aoxue’s eyes disappeared.

Even if you live in the dark, you have the right to enjoy the light!

She wanted Jun Yeyan to know this!

After a short silence, they were more and more close to that light.

“Thank you for accompanying Master, my princess. Although I am just one of the unimportant soldiers under Master, I believe that there are many mates appreciating you like me.” Zi Yuanyue stopped her step before she entered the gate and said slowly. Her words were with sincerity that couldn’t be described.

Bai Aoxue smiled faintly and entered that bright place.

For a long time in the dark, Bai Aoxue raised her hand to block her eyes as she just felt bright.

After a while, Bai Aoxue gently moved her hand away from her eyes. All she could see was warm yellow light. Where she stood was empty.

Since Bai Aoxue entered the chamber, the roar which was like a trapped animal became more intense. Bai Aoxue turned her head slowly with that roar as if she were in slow motion.

Others didn’t know how much efforts she took and how composed she needed to be.

The heavy iron chain which penetrated the wall was tight because of the struggle of that man. The sound of chain knocking on the ground was even harsher in this empty chamber.

At the end of four iron chains, the four limbs of the man were tied. His wrists had been worn out, and the blood was flowing down. The bloody scene was so vague and horrible that people dared not to look at him directly.

Bai Aoxue’s hair was scattered. The hair, which was smooth, dark and satin-like was drooping wantonly now, which made people feel decadent.

The black jade mask on his face didn’t fall off. It was firmly bound on his face, covering the unique face that only Bai Aoxue had seen. At the moment, his eyes had turned amber which approaching to golden. His pupils were narrowed into seam, which like cat’s eyes.

But they were not as smart as cat’s eyes. They were a bit chaotic.

His phoenix eyes stared at Bai Aoxue. His inexplicable desire flashed in his eyes.

He sent out the hoarse and low sob from his mouth continuously which made people not only scared but also sadder.

The black dress with gilding border was a little broken now, which exposed his white shoulder. If there were no shocking bloodstain, it would be more enjoyable.

Bai Aoxue looked at Jun Yeyan at this moment and thought of him on the palace banquet. There was less despair and destruction in his eyes now.

However, at this moment, he had more desire in his eyes.

Bai Aoxue seemed to have been scratched by a cat in her heart, itching and aching. She was very uncomfortable.

“Help me up.” Bai Aoxue cleared her throat and said difficultly.

Her throat was a little bit blocked which made the voice deeper, with a trace of demagogue.

Zi Yuanyue came quickly and helped Bai Aoxue up.

Jun Yeyan opened his thin lips slightly, as if he was talking about something, but he roared when he made a sound.

But Bai Aoxue heard that and saw that. He was saying: “Xue, Xue.”

Jun Yeyan was calling her. Even if he was unconscious at the moment, he still thought of her.

When she stood up, her heart still hurt, as if it would crack. Bai Aoxue nibbled at her thin lips which were even more pale and bloodless than ever before.

She walked to Jun Yeyan step by step. Each of her steps was so graceful as if it’s seemingly lotus blossomed under her feet. She was so holy, just like the goddess from the heaven who saved people.

But they all knew that this goddess came here only for one person.

“OK, let me go. I will walk the rest way myself.” Bai Aoxue patted Zi Yuanyue’s hands lightly and said.

Zi Yuanyue was taut when she listened to Bai Aoxue’s words. Looking at her firm profile face, Zi Yuanyue eventually let go of Bai Aoxue’s hands.

Bai Aoxue was very difficult to walk every step. The wound on her heart hurt badly. However, her heart itself even hurt worse.

Seeing that Bai Aoxue was coming, Jun Yeyan reached his hand slowly. “Xue.” he said softly. His voice was loud and resounded through everyone’s heart.

Bai Aoxue smiled faintly. Love came out from her eyes, which made her extremely beautiful.

Walking next to Jun Yeyan, Bai Aoxue crouched down slowly and sighed. “You did better than the last time. At least you can call my name.”

Jun Yeyan reached his hands and embraced Bai Aoxue in his arms. He sighed with satisfaction, “Finally, I can give you a hug again.”

Bai Aoxue turned back to embrace Jun Yeyan and frowned. “Don’t be so sentimental. Don’t you remember that you just hugged me yesterday?”

Listening to Bai Aoxue’s words, Jun Yeyan didn’t say anything but smiled dotingly. He enjoyed this brief happy moment.

The pain on Bai Aoxue’s chest made her know that the wound was cracked, but she didn’t find the abnormality of Jun Yeyan.

Suddenly, Jun Yeyan pushed Bai Aoxue away and said with great difficulty: “Xue… Leave here… Painful… I can’t control it.”

Bai Aoxue was a little surprised, but she didn’t leave. Looking at the abnormality of Jun Yeyan, Bai Aoxue said: “Why do you feel painful?”

Jun Yeyan didn’t answer her but sniffed.

Looking at Jun Yeyan’s strange appearance, Bai Aoxue gradually realized what was the matter with him. The reaction was just like he was unconscious last time.

Bai Aoxue wanted to stand up, but Jun Yeyan suddenly poured her over. He hugged Bai Aoxue tightly again and said: “Don’t leave me, Xue. I can control myself. I won’t hurt you. Don’t leave me.”

Bai Aoxue was hugged so hard that she could hardly breathe. But she didn’t push him away.

“I won’t leave you.” Bai Aoxue patted Jun Yeyan’s back and slowly said.

“You will. You said you would. I am reluctant to hurt you. You will still leave me. Is it only by killing you that you won’t leave me?” Jun Yeyan suddenly roared.

Bai Aoxue felt that the wound on her chest was split. The blood had soaked her dress. Today she was in a pure white dress, which must be shocking if somewhere turned red.

“I won’t leave you, Jun Yeyan. Listen carefully. Bai Aoxue won’t leave you.” Bai Aoxue turned back and embraced Jun Yeyan, too. She didn’t care about the bloody dress.

Zi Yuanyue and other people wanted to stop it when they saw this. But they noticed that Ye Zhaojue with his soldiers were coming in.

Looking at his favorite niece who was so weak and the devil appearance of Jun Yeyan, Ye Zhaojue remembered what people said: 5th prince is ugly like a ghost and crazy like a demon.

His crazy appearance at this moment was just like a demon.

Ye Zhaojue strode forward and drew the sword from his waist. He just wanted to kill this lunatic who hurt his niece!

Bai Aoxue heard the footsteps and said: “Don’t come here.”

Ye Zhaojue listened to Bai Aoxue’s words and stopped his step. “He hurt you.” he said unbelievably.

Bai Aoxue thought it may be Zi Yuanyue or anyone with her. She never thought that that voice was from her uncle. Her brain stopped thinking for a second and then responded quickly: “Uncle, he didn’t hurt me, and he won’t.”

“Don’t you see what is on your dress? It’s your blood.” Ye Zhaojue roared angrily.

“It doesn’t matter if he can wake up. Uncle, once you told me that we should follow our hearts. I do follow my heart this time. Please don’t impede me, uncle.” Bai Aoxue’s throat was astringent, but she slowly said what she wanted to say.

Ye Zhaojue didn’t expect Bai Aoxue to say that. He was stunned. After a pause, he said: “Don’t you feel bitter? I wanted you to follow your heart, but I don’t want you to feel bitter. But now you…”

“What hides behind bitter may be sweet.” Bai Aoxue smiled faintly, which was like a lotus.
