Chapter 671: End of Life (2/2)
The unconscious Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia seemed to have sensed something and suddenly called out, but her voice was even weaker than that of a newborn kitten and her eyes opened slightly.
“Zixia, I’m here.”
Ye Chuan gently turned Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia around and hugged her emaciate waist.
“Ye Chuan, truly…, is that truly you?” Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia reached out and grabbed Ye Chuan’s hand. She was honestly too weak, she was so weak that she was even unable to open her eyes as clear teardrops continuously flowed down her cheeks, “Ye Chuan, I…, I don’t want to die, I want to live together with you for lifetime…”
Even more tears flowed down Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia’s face and tightly held Ye Chuan’s hand, worrying that she might never wake up again. She didn’t fear death, rather she didn’t want to die and wanted to accompany Ye Chuan. From youngest to eldest, White Haired Heavenly Empress had made her accustomed to being indifferent and sternly disciplined her to set herself high above the masses. She must not easily talk to other people, she mustn’t laugh heartily and also mustn’t reveal her real thoughts in front of other people, just cultivate to become next Heavenly Empress.
During childhood, Hong Zixia cried and made noise, but under the intimidation of White Haired Heavenly Empress, all were futile efforts. Later, she slowly became accustomed to indifference and locked her heart away from everyone, becoming an ice-cold beauty. Until one day, she encountered Ye Chuan and her icy heart was melted by him, restoring her natural instincts. At that time, she understood, she truly needed to be together with Ye Chuan, rather than becoming the next Heavenly Empress. Together with Ye Chuan, she had happier days than before. In the past, although she seemed aloof and remote in others’ eyes, she was dead inside and cold Heavenly Yao Sect was a huge ice-cold tomb.
But, together with Ye Chuan, she recovered her natural instincts and happiness. Unfortunately, such days were short-lived. She didn’t want to die, she didn’t want to lose such happiness she had just obtained.
“No, Zixia, with me here, you will not die.” Ye Chuan tightly hugged Hong Zixia. Although his mouth was comforting, his nose was sour and tears dripped on Zixia’s fair but cold neck.
Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia froze. Because her eyelids were very heavy, she was unable to open her eyes and couldn’t see Ye Chuan’s appearance. However, at that instant, she understood everything and her face darkened. In the next moment, she quickly adjusted her mood and a hint of vigor floated in her pale face, “Ye Chuan, is it day or night now?”
“Day, the sun has just rose,” replied Ye Chuan.
“Then, can you take me out for a walk?”
The complexion of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia became brighter as if she was full of spirit, “You said that the sunrise of Cloud Mist Sect is the most enchanting, take me to see the sunrise, okay?”
“Okay!”
Ye Chuan nodded his head and carrying weak Hong Zixia, he slowly walked out step by step. Outside Heavenly Dragon Hall, Zhu Sijia, Little Long’er, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others had been waiting all along. Upon seeing Ye Chuan coming out, all of them were startled.
In just seven days they had not seen Ye Chuan, Ye Chuan’s hair had turned completely white.
