Meanwhile not far away in a mountainous forest, Chu Yi Feng was partially leaning down against a tree due to his body being so weak and pale.
âThank youâ¦â Half a moment later, these words of gratitude were what broke the silence in the forest.
Despite this, the man standing there and looking down didnât respond right away, only continuing to make his expressionless face.
Seeing the man wonât talk, Chu Yi Feng dons a faint smile and continued to speak on his own accord: âMe being injured, I hope you can keep it a secret from Yanâerâ¦.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
That finally drew a reaction from Di Cang who came to his aid after diverting partway to meet his wife. âDonât worry, Iâm not so stupid to do that. You are injured because of her. If she finds out then she will certainly come to your side to care for you. I am a man, naturally I wonât want my woman to tend to others.â
Chu Yi Fengâs body went stiff over that hurtful statement, making him look all the more frail under the slight breeze.
âBut you⦠helped me in the end.â
âI saved you for Yanâerâs sake so donât mistake me. If anything happens to you then she will undoubtedly be saddened knowing her character. I do not want to see a drop of tear from her.â
He only wants her to smile all her life, never to shed a drop of tear. That means even if the other person was Chu Yi Feng, his one-time love rival, Di Cang would still help him and not turn a blind eye.Visit website our Listnovel.com
âBesides, you saved Yanâer many times, as her husband, itâs only right I repay her debt so no need to thank me.â
The faint smile finally disappeared from Chu Yi Fengâs face following that, replaced only by a bittersweet flavor because those words were like knives, piercing into his heart at every turn.
âI am not worried with Yanâer marrying you and I hope in the future you can always treat her like you are doing now.â Suppressing the sadness in his heart, the young handsome man then got sharp when confronting the demon kingâs gaze: âBut if I know you are to ever make her sad, I will use all my means to steal her back from you!â
Because of her happiness, he was willing to let go. Now and into the future, for her happiness as well, heâs willing to steal her back if sheâs ever saddenedâ¦.
âI can give you that promise. In this life I will love her with me all, never to allow a trace of sadness to plague her!â Di Cangâs voice was firm and strong, leaving no room for doubt in his vow.
Perhaps he was pleased to hear that oath, or heâs finally regained enough strength, but Chu Yi Feng gradually and sloppily got up from the ground. Due to how unstable he was, the young man had to lean against the trunk still in order to keep his posture: âAlso, you have to be careful of a certain personâ¦.â
âWho?â Di Cang asks with alarm in his voice.
âYanâer shouldâve met him already, heâs a man that looks very much like me. You have to be careful with him and not let Yanâer get hurt.â
That brought the demon kingâs voice down to a frosty chill: âDo you know something that I donât?â
âI only came across the information not long ago but canât confirm it yet.â Chu Yi Feng smileâs wryly as he looked the man dead in the eye: âDi Cang, I gave Yanâer to you so you must protect her at all cost. There are some things I canât tell you now, but you and her will naturally find out on your own.â
Gradually leaving the tree behind himself, the young lord of the Holy Land didnât give another glance backwards, only slowly trudging forwards into the inner depths of the mountain.
â¦â¦â¦â¦..
âSire,â an old figure eventually descends from the sky after Di Cang was left alone again, his voice respectful and compliant.
