514: Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty-Four 514: Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty-Four “…”
Watching the intricate emotions swirling in Tianyan’s magnificent golden pupils, Xu Yuan’s heart trembled for a mont, suddenly unsure of how to respond to her.
His mories still lingered on the ti when Tianyan, as a persistent stalker, had followed him relentlessly, only to be calculated upon by the enchantnt of the Charm Spirit Tree.
Although he was aware that a deep relationship must have developed between them in that Illusionary Realm, he genuinely couldn’t rember it.
Compared to the ti in that cave, Xu Yuan’s mories of the Illusionary Realm had almost entirely vanished by now.
Of course, he still retained so fragnted images, but compared to real mories, these seed more like the fantastical daydreams of his own mind.
They felt incredibly unreal, like the remnants of a dream and daydreams lded into an illusion.
Almost everything was based on the phrase “pale pink” that he had said to her in the cave.
Like a young man’s spring dream, barely discerning the features of the woman, and then superimposing Tianyan’s exquisite and unparalleled visage onto it.
The residual palpitation he had felt back then had now transford into the stillness of a lake.
Besides that, the only thing left was the occasional sense of familiarity that surfaced inadvertently.
High on the city edge soaring into the clouds, she stood in her palace attire, tranquil as jade, amidst swirling snow that tousled her long black hair.
From a rational standpoint, Xu Yuan felt that he should deceive her.
It was shaful, but effective.
The north wind above the clouds was sowhat dry, sowhat cold.
Xu Yuan felt a bit cold and subconsciously wrapped his coat tighter around himself:
“I…
really don’t rember.”
As the words fell, although the chill persisted, it suddenly seed distant from him.
Subconsciously, he looked towards her.
Tianyan had already averted her gaze, not looking at him, but observing distant travelers on the winding official road who risked their lives for a few silver coins:
“I don’t bla you, it’s just that I feel sowhat distressed.”
Her eyes were profound:
“Xu Yuan…
After we parted, I actually thought about the things you said, Jiatiange, Pri Minister’s Mansion, Sects, The Imperial Court, your engagent to Li Qingyan, even what expression to use when I saw you again…..”
Her voice suddenly dropped low, so low that it trembled slightly:
“But…
but when I saw you, I still couldn’t control my emotions, every ti I think of things from the Illusionary Realm…
I…
I…”
By the end,
her eyes, as lush as a solitary mountain, had lost all traces of divinity and shook as she took a deep breath:
“Forget it, these words I say now…
with your bastard personality, you surely don’t feel anything.”
“Actually, I still…”
“Even if you did, it would be because I’m beautiful.”
“…” Xu Yuan.
A soft sigh fell with the snow as he and she sat atop the Northern Border.
Gazing into the uncertain horizon, Xu Yuan spoke softly and gently:
“You do seem familiar to , it’s always like this with people, everything starts with the face.”
Tianyan snorted lightly:
“Hmph…
starting with the face just ans being swayed by looks.”
A smile curled at the corner of Xu Yuan’s lips:
“Those words…
couldn’t have been sothing I said to you in the Illusionary Realm, could they?”
“Yes.”
Tianyan did not deny it, seeming to think of sothing, her tone slightly unfriendly: “Back in the Illusionary Realm, even while being chased down, you still found the ti to flirt with the chief of Dunxing Palace.”
Xu Yuan frowned slightly, his tone dissatisfied:
“Don’t think that because I can’t rember, you can fabricate things to slander .
Even though I believe that food and sex are basic human desires, I generally know where to draw the line, how could I possibly flirt with soone trying to kill ?”
Tianyan gave him a sidelong glance, her voice cold with a sneer:
“She led the team to surround and kill us, ended up captured alive by your design, and using her identity, we escaped to the sea.
We stayed on that deserted island for a year, what do you think happened during that year?”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan hissed softly, hesitated, and then said in a low voice:
“There shouldn’t have been anything inappropriate, right?”
Tianyan gave him a aningful look, then suddenly broke into a smile, radiant like a sprite:
“What do you think?”
Xu Yuan stroked his chin:
“She didn’t fall in love with , did she?”
The smile vanished from Tianyan’s face in an instant, her brows shooting up:
“When that Pavilion Master tracked down our hiding place, she threatened her own father with death to let us go.”
“…..” Xu Yuan opened his mouth.
It was actually true, the Stockholm Syndro of this naless sister.
Putting himself in her shoes, Xu Yuan suddenly realized there was indeed such a possibility.
Thinking this, Xu Yuan grinned and said:
“Wow, so I was also this popular in the Illusionary Realm…”
Boom!!!
Before the words finished, stones shattered in an instant from the broken city gate tower.
Tianyan had punched a hole the size of a ter through the solid gate tower and turned back:
“You…
You seem quite proud of this?”
Xu Yuan smacked his lips, cleared his throat, and said:
“I’m not, don’t talk nonsense; it’s just an objective analysis.”
He suddenly realized sothing.
Over the decades in the Illusionary Realm, the woman before him had likely seen all of his sches.
Although he couldn’t rember, those mories were etched in her heart.
“Heh..
Heh..
Heh…”
Upon hearing this, Tianyan’s lips twitched into a low, laughing and crying sound:
“Xu Changtian, you’re still as detestable as ever.
Mu Lanxin almost died because of that back then.”
“…..”
After a mont of eye contact, Xu Yuan nodded slightly: “Perhaps so, but I truly can’t be saddened with soone who has no mories.”
He stared at the tips of his fingers, rubbing his thumb and forefinger together, his voice low:
“Do you think I should pretend to be empathetic, and then deliberately act all sorrowful and compassionate?
I only care about the people I care about.
As for the rest, I can’t be concerned with that much.”
