Book 2: The Infinite Heart

Chapter 9 – The Hero Under the Heavens

The cry was ear-piercing, as if a person had torn a bloody cloth with a “chi-la” sound, then suddenly raised their hands to fling the pieces into the air It seeuine color, drowning a person’s senses with piercing stimulus

“Huo-la!” With a sound, acovering by Meng Fuyao’s side was suddenly ripped apart Fro hold of Fuyao’s left ar speed!

At the sa woman’s voice that had sounded just then, rose up even nearer: “… you’ve coether! HAHAHA …”

With her eyes contracting, Fuyao saw that the hands clenching her arm were so emaciated that blue veins protruded out The insides of the sharp fingernails were filled with es of brown This pair of ferocious but sickly hands, actually couldn’t even grab onto her arm steadily They uncontrollably shook in the wind, yet the hands still desperately clung onto her flesh using pinching fingernails

Fuyao’s finger flicked and a thread of wind shot out That ghoul-like pair of hands instantly shrunk back, acco collision noise traveled out from the inside of the empty room The sound had yet to fall before Fuyao had already pushed open the door and walked in

Inside the rooined With a look she could see that it was a rooround, and the dust layer on the floor was al of dubious coloring as she shrunk back into a wall corner, her visage covered by scatteredly draping hair and her body exuding a sour stench

Meng Fuyao’s eyes fell upon the battered, ht yellow and dark yellow on the straw bedding, their odor suffocating After walking closer she realized it was traces of excretion

That woled hair crazily bewildered Inside the eyes flickered aze jumped here and there, and the places that were touched upon seemed to be lit up with devilish flame

“Zhangsun Wuji … you demon …”

The voice, thin as gossah the stillness of the ehostly aura, yet also filled with hatred, each word shattered gold and splintered jade as it ground out through the gaps of her teeth One listening could not help but believe that if Zhangsun Wuji were here, this woe over to tear him apart, and then devour him bite by bite

A hint of doubt flashed through Fuyao’s eyes Who was this woman? Why was she imprisoned like this inside a broken-down courtyard at Prince De’s residence? And how did she have a grudge against the Infinite Eerous character due to her insane raically speaking Prince De ought to restrain her carefully Yet as there not even a guard assigned, was she just left here to die?

Fuyao tried to get a better look at the woman as she unconsciously stepped forward

However, a light cough suddenly sounded behind her

Meng Fuyao stopped in place as she squinted, staring into the widened pupils of the crazy wo pure white clothes – it was Zong Yue

Strangely, even though Zong Yue had clearly coughed to signal at her, he was not looking at her back From the eyes of the lady Fuyao could see that his eyes were directly staring at the crazed woman’s eyes

Fuyao’s gaze swept behind the hed all of a sudden, and slowly retreated out Before exiting through the door she even carefully closed it

Turning around, she saw that Zong Yue was cal at her His voice was also calm, but the words that careat billows

“Even if you are only e, you should still know thein other people’s houses

Meng Fuyao’s vision iht that they were even sharper than those of the madwoman Only then did she cynically say, “Even if you are only an arrogant chauvinist, you should still know that so a wo on her”

Zong Yue unconcernedly looked at her “You are a woet”

Afterwards, he actually bent at the waist to express his apologies

Fuyao was so angry that s while, she straightened her back, and without saying a word she walked past Zong Yue’s side

As she passed him, her shoulder suddenly collided with hi Yue seeered sideways from the impact

Meng Fuyao immediately turned around with a sweet suised appearance was ordinary; yet her two eyes beautifully shi+

“Ai ya, how come you fell doith one touch? Are you sure you’re a ht you were a man, so it turns out you actually aren’t”

She bowed at the waist Her pretend apology wasn’t even finished before she ran off laughing heartily, leaving Zong Yue deep in thought as he stood in the wind

The winter gale was heavy and orance of a ly there and not there at the same time If one didn't carefully smell for it, they wouldn't be able to detect the faint trace; yet upon finding it one would feel delight and lightheartedness

After a while, Zong Yue lightly s of her chest just then Sunlight brushed past her delicate figure in a scattering of cri him to falter for a second As a result, he who usually never allowed anyone to get close, was actually struck off balance

His s of unostentatious yet still eye-catching winter flowers, lightened up degree by degree

”Actually, you very much are a woman…” ————

Dusk fell Tonight, faint stars and a di in the sky From a restaurant at the end of the eastern corner alleyway, lantern light shone distantly over, stretching Meng Fuyao's long shadow on the ground

With veil obscuring her face, Fuyao hugged a bundle ofYue wanted to buy As she returned from the ht
