Heavenly Star

Chapter 175: The Whole Sky Floating with Snow Part 1

When the magical voice of Meng Zhi echoed in his ears, he sensed the power of spirit. This kind of shallow and impure power of spirit would not be much of a threat to him. Before the magical voice could touch his soul, he had spontaneously shielded against it using his incomparably pure power of spirit, so he was not affected by the power of her voice.

“Won’t you chase after her?” Xue Feiyan gracefully walked out from behind a tree, her gaze shifting around his body dubiously.

“Why would I chase after her? This is her choice... Why would I give chase?” he softly sighed, her ultimate gentle face appeared in his mind, but it was another version of her.

“Oh! You little sweetheart, really emotionless. You just consumed her a while ago, but now you have permitted her to run away alone. Aren’t you afraid she might run into some bad people? I feel pity for this little sister who’s not worth the danger.” Xue Feiyan rebuked him.

Ye Wuchen did not respond to her and was still staring blankly to the north.

“Such an emotionless little sweetheart. I advise you to get her back. Weren’t you be able to see that she had truly fallen in love with you? It’s just that she refused to admit it, wouldn’t dare to admit it and hid it from herself all along. Otherwise, even though you were her first man, that blade a while ago might already have cut through your neck.” Xue Feiyan had a dubious smile. Ye Wuchen did not know anything about the side effects of the power of magical voice, but she knew them very clearly. For someone like her to resolutely give up during that situation, her feelings for him was not so simple, but was already deeply rooted in her heart during the more than ten days of getting along with each other.

The Northern Empire Clan sending her come alone was clearly a very huge mistake. Ye Wuchen’s talents, thoughts, even his nature and appearance evidently had greats powers against young women, even Meng Zhi who had despised outsiders had also unconsciously fallen for him within the few days of them being together.

“If you don’t chase after her, you will surely regret it.” She mysteriously said, her face exposing a charming smile that made the stars in the night sky lose their splendor.

He still did not pay attention to Xue Feiyan. His gaze shifted to those words which were carved onto the ground.

Yan Zhimeng... This was actually her name? Meng Zhi... Zhi Meng, indeed, Zhi Meng would be the most suitable name.

Yan... Sure enough, she had been sent by the Northern Empire Clan. Within the Heavenly Star Continent, only the Northern Empire Clan made use of Yan as their family name. To be deserving of being called a member of the clan of the Northern Empire, one needed to possess remarkable abilities and even intend to search for the secrets of the Southern Empire Clan.

He turned his body and he silently walked away. He did not look at Xue Feiyan.

“Enthusiastic Heart Jade... Do you know why it is called the Enthusiastic Heart Jade?” Xue Feiyan just stood there and quietly mumbled, but Ye Wuchen could not hear her voice anymore.

Tap-tap.

The sound of the footsteps echoed as Ye Wuchen had gone but came back once more. Xue Feiyan was about to tease him a little bit more, but after meeting his gaze, her heart suddenly cooled down and the words that she was about to speak got stucked in her throat. Disappointment, anger, indifference, and puzzlement... The mood he wanted to express perfectly emerged from this one gaze.

His left hand swayed, and an ice-cold freezing figure emerged in his hand—the Xue Ji Sword. Tightly holding it in his hand, the ice-cold sword blade obliquely pierced the ground before her.

“This is the Xue Ji Sword that you wanted, you must also go.”

Xue Feiyan’s eyes violently pulsed, firmly biting on her lower lip, she did not say anything further.

Ye Wuchen did not talk either and swung his hands as he left. Xue Feiyan’s conduct and deeds had already reached the bottom line of his tolerance. This was a woman that he was incapable of controlling. If there came a day that she used an similar method on somebody close to him, he would not be able to imagine the outcome. action

Looking at his cold and detached figure, Xue Feiyan’s face finally exposed sadness, even though she already expected that he would react this way.

She proceeded ahead for a few more steps and pulled up the Xue Ji Sword, holding it in the palm of her hand. The ice-cold sword blade did not bring about the ice-cold feeling to her, but a cozy feeling that could only be felt by her alone. Xue Ji Sword could be a magical weapon for any ordinary person, but in her hands, it could be interlinked with her, making the scope of her strength increase. All these years, she had dressed up in so many ways bringing along the ring of the God of Snow, which had the capability to detect the Xue Ji Sword. She travelled all over the Heavenly Star Continent in order to find this sword.

But this time, with the Xue Ji Sword in her hands, she did not feel happiness. Instead, her heart had drifted along with Ye Wuchen as he left, floating to some unknown place.

“I clearly knew that he would definitely be mad, but it’s for his own good. She is the last woman with magical voice in the entire Heavenly Star Continent. To become the master of the universe, she would be able of greatly help. If I didn’t do that, even if she loved you, she would still marry herself into the Northern Empire Clan using with her excuses. At that time, they would not be able to meet each other again...”

“Although my method was really mean, it is still the best way... Forgive older sister please? I promise not to do anything bad to you anymore.”

She was talking to herself, facing ahead absentmindedly. Only the night wind could hear her, and answering her, was also only the soft whistling night wind.

Returning into the tent, Ning Xue was sound asleep, but Tong Xin was just opening her eyes that illuminated with a remote light. Seeing him finally return, she delightedly opened her arms.

Ye Wuchen laid down beside Tong Xin, hugging her in his arms, then softly said, “Don’t worry, next time you must sleep. If there’s something wrong, I will certainly call out for you.”

Tong Xin nodded and buried her head in his chest, then quickly fell asleep smooth and steadily.

The whole night, Ye Wuchen was not able to sleep. What mostly appeared on his mind was not Xue Feiyan’s violation, nor Yan Zhimeng’s involvement, but the final moment, that exquisite tenderness where she was almost like she was his wife. That time, he did not open his eyes, yet he felt her warm heartbeat and breath.

Before tonight, the only impression he got from Yan Zhimeng was the outstanding outer appearance, the admirable personality, pure and cold, arrogant, obstinate, in addition to being unreasonably novice. He originally believed that he would never fall for her and did not expect to have a relationship with her. She was even occasionally depicted in his mind situations wherein he was her enemy, the he only let her stay beside him to wait for an opportunity to expose her. He did not expect that after one night, their fates would be linked together by an unexpected mishap. When he was compelled to take possession of her, he had already decided to make her his own woman. He would not allow any other person to get a share of the woman that belonged to him, even if his feelings towards her was not like his affection towards Hua Shuirou. Even if there was, it would only be the kind of possessive desire that a man had towards a perfect woman.

And before she left she had diligently performed a series of actions, which had heavily moved his heartstrings that had naturally caused the huge change on his feelings for her.

He seriously wanted her to stay, yet he could only choose to remain silent. She had made her decision, and Ye Wuchen had his own apprehensions. If he forced her to stay, her heart would never settle down, and it would have forced Ye Wuchen and herself to face the Northern Empire Clan. Even if Tong Xin was beside him, he clearly knew that currently was still incapable of resisting against the Northern Empire Clan whose powers had been passed down for several years. He could not afford to let them take their anger out on his family and other people important to him.

Wait for me... After a single day of being my woman, in your lifetime, you will never get the chance to escape. Even if you struggle against it, I will never allow that...

..............................

A hand hugged Ning Xue, while the other hand held Tong Xin. Ye Wuchen who had not slept all night did not feel a slightest bit of weariness, but beside him, he was left with only two young girls who were forever unwilling to be apart from him. It caused him to feel a little bit uneasy that Ning Xue and Tong Xin were also like that.

“Will Sister Meng be back again?” asked Ning Xue. She learned from her brother that Sister Meng had left with the white horse last night. No one knew where she was heading and neither did she leave anything behind.

“She will. Even if she refused to come, I will certainly snatch her back.” Ye Wuchen said as the corner of his mouth hooked up a faint smile.

“Yi?”

Ning Xue liked those kinds of answers from him, but she somehow did not understand why he had to “snatch” her back. She laid her head on one side, then continued to ask, “Then why did Sister Xue also go away?”

When Tong Xin heard these words, she casted her eyes backward and pulled the corner of Ye Wuchen’s clothes. Ye Wuchen understood and aimed a complex look behind them. In the expansive and boundless meadow, her figure could not be seen.

“Your Sister Xue isn’t gone yet. Maybe we will see her again soon enough.” Ye Wuchen responded.

Tong Xin’s hint made him realized that Xue Feiyan was still following them. Looking at them from a distance. He was already aware of Xue Feiyan’s motives for getting close to him was not solely because of the Xue Ji Sword. What she really needed was...

“Ah? Really?” Ning Xue was surprised.

“Xue-er do you really like Sister Xue?” Ye Wuchen asked smiling.

“I like her.” After thinking for awhile, she added, “I like her very much.”

Ye Wuchen shook his head smiling. This was Ning Xue. Whoever treated her well, she surely return the favor. As simple as snow, she was completely unaware what it was like to be evil.

“Xue-er, do you miss home already?”

“Very much, I also miss older sister very much.”

Mentioning “older sister”, Ye Wuchen’s heart madly skipped twice. He knew that there must be something that had happened to Ye Shuiyao. But based only on a small premonition, it seemed like that evil thing was unrelated to her safety and something else. Actually as long as the Southern Empire Clan was around, he did not need to worry about Ye Shuiyao’s safety.

So what was this feeling?

“Tomorrow we will reach Yan Long City. If there are no accidents, we will be able to head home after a few days. Carrying on this pace, before dusk we will pass by a very huge river.” Ye Wuchen described everything according to his memory.

South Heaven River gained that name because of its location. It was also the Tian Long Nation’s longest and widest river. Throughout the journey, Ye Wuchen had used different methods to cross over more than ten rivers of all sizes, but their scope was incomparable to this South Heaven River.

Just like he had predicted, they reached the South Heaven River at dusk. He, Ning Xue, and Tong Xin stood at the shore. As far as the eye could see, the heavenly water formed a line that was so boundless that one could not see the other shore. It was the time of the rainy season here in the south so the river water surged up as it flowed. There was an ear-splitting sound of water hitting the shore echoing as water droplets of all sizes splashed up and sprinkled their body.
