Chapter 272: Waking Up from a Dream
Ling’er turned on her side, resting her forehead on Yun Che’s arm, her gaze hazy as she looked at the moonlight penetrating down from the cracks of the emerald bamboos above her, and after a long time, she softly said, “If one can sleep in the bamboo forest, and underneath the moon, it must be a very, very beautiful thing.”
Yun Che gazed upwards, lightly smiled, and with a push of his palm, only to hear a “bang” sound, the bamboo roof above him appeared with a hole large enough for a full moon to appear in Ling’er’s line of sight. A large amount of moonlight also took the opportunity to pour down, illuminating every corner of the bamboo house.
“Wow!” Su Ling’er let out a delicate cry, looking at the full moon in the sky and feeling the scent from the man beside her, for the first time, she experienced a feeling that made even her heart drunk.
“Brother Yun Che, can I really become your wife like Pretty Sister and be with you forever?” Ling’er asked dully. Right now, she didn’t quite understand what male-female love was, but she was very simple and strong, liking and longing to be together with him.
Yun Che held her small hand and gently said, “Of course! Your father, has already betrothed you to me in front of so many people. When I return one day, and Ling’er grows up, we can get married and be together forever ……”
Su Ling’er first smiled lightly, then reacted to something and instantly grabbed Yun Che’s arm: “Wait for you …… to come back? Brother Yun Che, you …… you’re leaving?”
This was an illusion created by the Evil God’s Soul. This kind of thing, the illusion realm, was not unfamiliar to Yun Che, the places he went to in the Phoenix Trial and the Dragon God Trial were also all illusion realms. Anyone who appeared in an illusionary realm would also not know that they were actually just an illusion. It was just that an illusion was an illusion after all, and he could only stay here for twelve hours, and after he left, everything here, too, would all dissipate.
Feeling the panic in Su Ling’er’s voice, he choked in his heart and said: ”Ling’er, I don’t belong here, my home is far, far away, although I don’t want to leave, I must go back, and tomorrow, I must go …… But Ling’er don’t worry, when you grow up, I’ll come back! …… come back to marry you, and then take you away and stay with you for a long time …… okay?”
These are all impossible lies, because after the twelve hours are over, everything will disappear, whether it is the once Su Ling’er, or the present Su Ling’er, it is impossible to appear in his world again. However, this promise of his originated from his soul, without any falsehood. If Su Ling’er was still in this world, then, even if he had to pay a heavenly price, he would definitely fulfill it, and would never let her bitterly guard himself again.
The night became quiet all of a sudden, the moonlight was no longer dazzling, and even the intoxicating night breeze seemed to have faded away. When the message that Yun Che would be leaving tomorrow, and that he seemed to be leaving for a long time entered Su Ling’er’s mind, she realized that everything she was reveling in had quietly turned into reluctance and sadness……. This bamboo forest, she and her father had also come here many times, and every time, she would be happy, but never as happy as she was this night, and it wasn’t the bamboo forest that she liked the most. Rather, it is the person who is now accompanying her to see the bamboo forest ……
Su Ling’er flung down on Yun Che’s body, she didn’t cry, closed her eyes tightly, and softly said as if dreaming: “Brother Yun Che …… you will definitely come back, I will be good, grow up obediently, and wait for you to come back to marry me, no matter how long it will take, I will wait… . until you come back to marry me ……”
This kind of infatuation words from a ten year old girl, although tender and innocent, but it is more touching than an adult woman’s moving words, because the words of a childish girl won’t have a trace of falsehood, artifice and deliberate, only the purest, most innocent emotions, heart and desire.
The next day, when Yun Che returned to Taisu Sect with Su Ling’er on his back, it was already noon. In terms of time, there was less than half an hour left in the last twelve hours as stated by the Evil God’s Spirit.
Last night, they embraced each other and fell asleep, and in the early morning, before dawn, Yun Che climbed up Mount Taisu on her back to watch the sunrise together, and ate the wild game from Mount Taisu together, and they left a lot of voices and footprints on Mount Taisu……. Just like this, without realizing it, the time was already approaching.
“Che’er, are you really not considering staying for a few more days? Ling’er doesn’t miss you at all.”
Looking at Su Ling’er, who was lying on Yun Che’s back and refusing to come down, Su Hengshan helplessly laughed. Regarding Yun Che and Xia Qingyue, he was naturally grateful in his heart, but before he could entertain them much, they had already come to resign.
“I also really want to stay, but yet I really have reasons why I have to leave. Please forgive me, father-in-law ……” He looked back at the girl on his back and said in as calm a voice as he could, “I also can’t let go of Ling’er.”
Su Hengshan nodded, he had already decided that Yun Che and Xia Qingyue must be disciples from a Holy Land level sect, and even with the title of “Father-in-law”, he did not dare to interfere with their actions and decisions, he looked at his daughter who was quietly lying on Yun Che’s back, her two hands clasping his neck with great force, and let out a dark sigh, saying: “Are you leaving now?”
“Yes ……”
“Let Ling’er take my place and see you guys off.”
The one who sent Yun Che and Xia Qingyue off was only Su Ling’er, because Su Hengshan knew that the only person Yun Che cared about was Ling’er, and even if he personally sent them off, it would only be redundant.
After exiting the Taisu Sect’s gate, Su Ling’er accompanied Yun Che out for a long distance, until the silhouette of the Taisu Sect could no longer be seen, and the distance to the full twelve hours had finally reached the final countdown.
Su Ling’er firmly grasped Yun Che’s hand, smiling and laughing along the way, not revealing any sadness at all. When he reached here, Yun Che’s footsteps stopped, and he gently said, “Ling’er, let’s send it here, if it’s any farther, I’ll be worried about your safety on the way back.”
Su Ling’er didn’t resist a little bit as she nodded and said with a smile, “Uh-huh! I’ll listen to Brother Yun Che, you and Pretty Sister must be careful on the road. …… Well, Brother Yun Che, can you give me something …… the same …… thing that can make me feel that Yun Che Brother has always been by my side something ……”
She laughed while …… a teardrop that she didn’t have control over, but it slipped out of the corner of her eye, drawing a long water mark on her tender face.
Yun Che’s heart trembled, and then was immediately filled with unspeakable sourness, he squatted down and gently removed Su Ling’er’s outerwear, and then took off the Dragon Scale Treasure Armor from his body, and draped it over Xia Qing Yue’s astonished eyes, the Dragon Scale Treasure Armor would adjust itself according to the wearer’s body type, and even though Su Ling’er’s body was very petite, it still fitted very well, “Ling’er, this piece of clothing is called the Dragon Scale Treasure Armor, it can protect you very well, you have to wear it on your body often, just like I’m on your side to protect you.”
Taking off the precious and incomparable Dragon Scale Treasure Armor and giving it to Su Ling’er in the illusionary realm seemed incomparably ridiculous, but Yun Che simply couldn’t control …… it because it was the best guard he could give Su Ling’er after leaving her.
He took out a purple spatial ring and transferred all the various food and drinking water stored in the Heavenly Poison Bead into it, and also took out the various elixirs that he usually refined and put them into it, and taught her one by one: ”These are the Small Return to Heaven Elixirs, use them when you’re injured ……These are the Green Dew Elixirs, eat one if you’re not Eat one if you’re accidentally poisoned …… These are Hui Xuan Dan, eat one when you don’t have the strength ………… In the future, if… …I mean if there comes a day when you have to leave your home and are in constant danger, make sure you remember what’s in here, and you’ll use what’s in here to protect yourself well, okay ……”
Su Ling’er listened to his words and couldn’t stop herself from nodding and nodding again ……
Yun Che didn’t put this spatial ring on Su Ling’er’s hand because that would be too easy to be targeted, after all, a purple ring with a huge capacity and lifespan was considered a rather valuable treasure even in the Taisu Sect. He used a gold silk worm to pass through the ring and then hung it around Su Ling’er’s neck, allowing the purple glittering spatial ring to disappear under her lingerie.
Within Su Ling’er’s eyes, teardrops were dripping down, and each teardrop dripped into the deepest part of Yun Che’s soul. He held Ling’er in his arms and gently said: ”Ling’er, don’t be sad, it’s not like we’ll be separated forever, when you grow up, I’ll come back …… back to marry you! So, you have to be happy, grow up happily, so that when I come back, I can see a most beautiful Ling’er …… If in the future, in case you encounter any difficulties, you must not be afraid, don’t despair, and always remember that in this world, there is a person who, even when he can’t see you, is also thinking about you forever, holding you ……”
“Well …… well!!!” Su Ling’er nodded her head vigorously, desperately trying to repress the sobs, fine teeth, has bitten the small red lips deeply a row of teeth marks ……
Time, began to enter the end of the end of the end of the end, Yun Che let go of Su Ling’er, hands cupped her face, in her forehead gently kissed, and then turned around, clenched his teeth, step by step towards the front …… in Su Ling’er’s line of sight more and more far away ……
Su Ling’er did not go to chase after him, she clasped her hands in front of her chest, also holding the Dragon Scale Treasure Armor that came from Yun Che and still had his scent, and in her blurred line of sight, she stared blankly at his gradually fading back. Finally, she was no longer able to contain it, and her teardrops burst out, and her shouts accompanied by her cries resounded in this empty earth ……
“Brother Yun Che! I’ll wait for you …… I’ll wait for you to come back and marry me ……”
“Brother Yun Che, you have to think of me …… must think of me …… can’t not think of me ……”
“Brother Yun Che …… I will grow up fast …… you must come back …… must… …must …… must come back ……”
“Brother Yun Che …… I can’t let go of you …… oooh …… oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh… …”
Yun Che’s figure became more and more distant, and finally, at a certain moment, it completely disappeared from her sight. She slowly squatted to the ground, covered her cheeks, and whimpered loudly …… Her brother Yun Che had left, and even her soul, was taken away with him ……
Su Ling’er’s shouts traveled into Yun Che’s ears along with the sound of the wind, making every step he took, incomparably difficult, his expression was pained, but he didn’t dare to turn back because he was afraid that as soon as he turned back, he would no longer be able to take a step.
“Between you two, it’s very strange.” Looking at Yun Che’s expression, Xia Qingyue gently said. She couldn’t understand how a grown man, and a young girl who was only ten years old, could develop such strong feelings in just one day’s time.
Yun Che tilted his head and looked at the sky, “Qing Yue, do you believe in …… past lives?”
Xia Qingyue was slightly stunned, she silently looked at Yun Che for a moment and lightly nodded her head, “I believe.”
At this time, ripples of spatial distortion suddenly appeared around him and Xia Qingyue.
“It’s finally time to go back.” Yun Che closed his eyes and softly murmured, “Goodbye …… my Ling’er ……”
In the murmuring voice, his and Xia Qingyue’s figures had simultaneously disappeared into the distorted space, and with that, the sensation of spatial shuttling struck, and then disappeared again after a split second, and in an instant, a cold wind came crashing down on his face.
Open your eyes, in front of you is already snow-covered, snow-white piece of …… he and Xia Qingyue, has returned to the Tianchi secret realm, but the location is not the top of the Tianchi.
“Hoo……” Yun Che let out a long breath of relief, although, that was only an illusion, the Su Ling’er of the teenage era was only an illusion constructed with the power of the Evil God, but even so, the separation from Su Ling’er still made his chest cavity dull with the desire to explode a few times.
“Even the most beautiful dream will eventually have a time to wake up.” Yun Che looked ahead and said despondently. Following that, he sank his consciousness and said to Jasmine, “Jasmine, why did the Evil God’s soul use its last strength to send me such an illusion? Could it be, after reading my memories, to help me fulfill some kind of regret I have?”
“A phantasmagoria??” Jasmine’s voice came, “So, you always thought that the world you stayed in for a day before was just an illusion?”
“…… That was certainly an illusion.” Yun Che said powerlessly. If it wasn’t an illusion, how could the long departed Su Ling’er, who was still in her teenage years, appear.
“Hey ……” Jasmine suddenly laughed strangely, as if she had discovered something interesting, she slowly said, “So that’s why, no wonder your emotions and behavior are so abnormal, you’re actually treating that place as an illusionary realm …… However, I can tell you responsibly that the world you were in before was definitely…not…an…illusion…realm!!!!! ”
