âFate?â Bai Yan sneered as she squinted her eyes slightly, âChu Yi God, he only has such a fate because of your doing. Even if you were the one who created him, it doesnât give you the right to decide his future. He has a soul of his own. Heâs different from you! Because of your selfishness in parting half of your love over, heâs now in a situation where he cannot find love! Itâs unfair to him!â
Startled by the outrage, Chu Yi God became quiet when facing that cold and lecturing voice.
âMoreover, your feelings are nothing more than baggage to me. I donât need them.â A viciousness filled Bai Yanâs voice, âFrom now on, do not follow me anymore, I donât want to see you.â
Do not follow me anymore, I donât want to see youâ¦..
Those words were piercing, stabbing him in the heart like swords against a billboard. For a while, that stoic and enchanting figure of his appeared so lonely that it hurt.
So thatâs itâ¦. Whatâs there to hate if she never had any attachment left for me to begin with?
Chu Yi God did not directly slay Azure Dragon and the other three sacred beasts in the past, but they did die because he participated in that war. Therefore, itâs no wonder she would treat him this way.
âI still remember the first time I met you in this life. Xiachen was lying in a pool of his own blood, and you were pleading to me to save him along with breaking the bond you and Di Cang shared.â Chu Yi Godâs indifferent expression fell into a trance like heâs longing for the past again, âAt that time, I thought I would still have a chance as long as you didnât know anything.â
âThe second time we met, I helped Xiachen recover and you hugged me excitedly for itâ¦â He faintly forms a smile that carries a hint of bittersweet flavor, âThat hug was what I waited for through the ages. But I forgotâ¦. As long as you set foot into the Celestial Realm, you are bound to remember everything. In the end, I will still not be able to stand by your side.â
âIf in a previous life I chose you instead of the world, you wouldâve been my wife for sure. Di Cang wouldnât have had the chance, and you wouldnât have recognized your heart for himâ¦.â
Like a fairy, Chu Yi God slowly stepped towards Bai Yan, his white hair fluttering against the breeze to give him a picturesque image. âYanâer, I really want to be selfish just this once and snatch you away with these hands. But I also know you will never fall in love with me. I canât bear to hurt youâ¦.â He raises his hand to gently stroke the womanâs head.
This gesture was something he often did a millennium ago.
Back then, the young little girl often smiled at him and snuggled that head in his arms like a docile kitty looking for comfort.
But nowâ¦
Seeing that his hand was about to touch her hair, Bai Yan subconsciously turned away and dodged the gesture.
For a long time, Chu Yi Godâs froze there, his hand hanging in the air like a lost soul unsure of what to do. In the end, he sighed and dropped his foolish act.
âYanâer, all I hope for is your happiness now, thatâs all I need.â
Bai Yan smiled over that remark, but her smile wasnât for him: âAs long as Di Cang is by my side then I will be very happy.â
Chu Yi Godâs thin lips stammered for a response; however, he couldnât come up with a good reply to that sentence. In the end, he changes the topic because it hurts.
âI came to you this time because I have something to warn you about: be careful of that Mo Li Shang.â
His indifferent voice drifted like the wind into Bai Yanâs ears, which caused the demon queen to furrow her brow slightly.
