Chapter 927 Conversation at nigh (2/2)
She looked Zhou Yuan in the eye and said loud and clear, “Your Highness, Youwei will never be your opponent. If there is anything you want, I can always help you.
“Even if I can't help you under the name of the Zixiao Region, I can help you do anything in the name of Su Youwei.”
Her incredibly serious gaze stunned Zhou Yuan. He smiled helplessly and reached out to stroke the silly girl’s hair as once had, but he suddenly stopped halfway.
Su Youwei was no longer the little girl who always relied on him in the Great Zhou Empire.
In terms of strength, identity and status, she was in no way inferior to him. Perhaps, she was even superior.
But when he hesitated, Su Youwei stood on her tiptoes and touched Zhou Yuan’s palm with the top of her head. A faint blush came to her cheeks, but she continued to stare at Zhou Yuan. “Your Highness, perhaps you thought that when you kicked the door of the medicine store in the storm, it was nothing but sympathy, but to me, you saved my life.
“Without you, the present Su Youwei wouldn’t exist.”
Zhou Yuan gently stroked Su Youwei’s hair, which exuded a sweet smell. He gave a bitter smile. “Little girl, you are too honest.”
It was just that in the depths of his heart, a warm current was bubbling up.
Su Youwei pursed her lips and suddenly asked, “By the way, where’s Yaoyao and Tuntun?”
The smile on Zhou Yuan's face went stiff.
Su Youwei immediately noticed something strange and whispered, “What happened?”
Zhou Yuan remained silent for a brief while, then finally said: “It’s a long story.”
He told Su Youwei about what had happened to Yaoyao and him over the years after Su Youwei had left.
The two had gone to the Saint Remains Domain, joined the Cangxuan Sect, and then countless things happened.
Then, finally, they experienced the battle between the Sacred Palace and the Cangxuan Sect.
“When Yaoyao was protecting me, she was severely wounded, and she is now in an unconscious state. I came to Hunyuan Heaven to look for a way to revive her.
“Tuntun went to an unknown place to train.”
The cold moonlight fell on Zhou Yuan, and his face, which was always filled with self-confidence, revealed hints of loneliness and self-blame.
Seeing this, Su Youwei couldn’t help but clench her hands tight, and a heart-wrenching feeling arose in her heart. Zhou Yuan’s experiences were wonderful, but they were also filled with difficulty. When he had to face a powerful and tremendous enemy like the Sacred Palace, he must have felt very weak and angry, right?
Su Youwei whispered, “Your Highness, I regret leaving Cangxuan Heaven.”
If she had stayed in Cangxuan Heaven, she would have accompanied Zhou Yuan through everything.
However, she knew she wouldn’t have been much help to Zhou Yuan even if she had stayed. After all, she wasn’t as mysterious and powerful as Yaoyao.
Su Youwei shook her head, looked at Zhou Yuan and reassured in a soft voice, “Your Highness, don’t worry. We will find a way to make Yaoyao recover.
“I couldn’t accompany you before, but if you want to return to Cangxuan Heaven one day, I will certainly come with you.”
Standing on a tall building in the brightly lit Fallen City, even Zhou Yuan was speechless for a moment when facing the beautiful girl and her gentle voice.
Su Youwei smiled and made a cheering gesture at Zhou Yuan. “Your Highness, you have to do well in the nine regions tournament. I know you are very capable. Even if you’re in Hunyuan Heaven, I know that you’re the strongest.
“Make them know that the people from the Great Zhou Empire are not pushovers!
“I will go back now!”
She waved her hand reluctantly, leapt down the tall building and disappeared into the distance like a rainbow.
Watching her slim and beautiful figure disappear, Zhou Yuan smiled slightly. He then scanned the other eight tall buildings and the brightly lit Fallen City. He didn’t know how many dark horses were hiding in Fallen City, but he felt a sense of pride.
