Chapter 106: Unrequited Love
Luo Ying woke up instantly and looked at Xiang Yuandai anxiously. Her voice was full of worry:
"Brother Yuandai, are you okay? I saw all those fireballs flying towards you. It's all my fault. I insisted on going to heaven, and ended up getting you injured."
Xiang Yuandai hurriedly shook his head and said self-reproachfully:
"No, it's not your fault. It was because I was too careless and was used by Wanqi that you were put in danger."
Hua Hongsu was observing from the side. She saw that Feng Yequn looked a little unhappy, so she gently pulled Feng Yequn over and said to Luo Ying:
"And you should thank your patron saint. Every time you are in danger, he appears at the first moment."
Feng Yequn coughed awkwardly and said:
"It was His Highness who sensed your danger and asked me to come and protect you."
Hua Hongsu covered her mouth and chuckled, teasing:
"It seems that my cousin and his wife are really in tune with each other!"
She looked up at Feng Yequn and Xiang Yuandai, a meaningful smile appeared on her face, and she joked with them:
"Their love is truly a two-way street, and those of us who admire them must learn to let go. The highest level of loving someone is not possession, but fulfillment."
Her words made Feng Yequn and Xiang Yuandai feel mixed emotions.
Hua Hongsu noticed that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so she took Feng Yequn's hand and said:
"Now that everyone is safe, let's go back first so that my cousin won't worry."
Feng Yequn looked at Luo Ying and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Hua Hongsu said sympathetically:
"Don't worry. Since Prince Yu risked his life to protect Luo Ying, he will naturally not let her get hurt again. Besides, the Grain in Ear Flower God will come to take over tomorrow, and Prince Yu will also return to Heaven."
After that, she dragged Feng Yequn away. Luo Ying nodded to Hua Hongsu gratefully.
After Hua Hongsu and Feng Yequn left, Xiang Yuandai and Luo Ying fell into silence.
Suddenly, they both spoke at the same time, "You..." "I..."
Luo Ying smiled and said, "Brother Yuandai, you go first."
Xiang Yuandai said somewhat at a loss:
"Um... you... by the way... are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you..."
Luo Ying smiled sweetly and said:
"I'm just a little hungry."
Xiang Yuandai looked at her sweet smile and instantly fell into a trance. He looked at her with loving eyes until Luo Ying coughed softly to remind him, and then he came back to his senses. He hurriedly said:
"I'll go make you something delicious."
So he started to get busy and prepared a large table of sumptuous dishes. He helped Luo Ying sit at the table, and Luo Ying was so moved that tears filled her eyes when she saw the table full of delicious food.
She choked and said:
"How do you do so much..."
Xiang Yuandai couldn't help but feel his eyes moist. He suppressed his inner emotions and said:
"Tomorrow... I will be going back to heaven... I don't know when I can cook delicious food for you again."
Tears welled up in Luo Ying's eyes, and she choked up and said:
"Thank you...Brother Yuandai..."
Xiang Yuandai felt even more mixed emotions when he heard her words. He held her arms tightly, looked at her affectionately and said:
"No...I am the one who should say thank you...The time I spent in Xianyuan is the most beautiful memory of my life...I really hope I can stay immersed in this wonderful time and never wake up..."
Xiang Yuandai hugged Luo Ying tightly in his arms, his heart filled with turbulent emotions. He whispered:
“Before I met you, I always thought there was no pure friendship between men and women.
But during the days I've been with you, I've discovered that there really is no need for affection or love between men and women, just pure friendship.
It was not until the moment when the fireball rushed towards you that I saw my heart clearly. The so-called pure friendship is nothing more than my heartfelt, hot and pure love for you. This kind of love makes me want to protect you involuntarily and restrain myself from hurting you.
I wish I could give up everything for you, to be with you till old age, to love you wholeheartedly. I wish we could live in seclusion somewhere, I could cook delicious food for you every day, and we could live happily together like a couple of gods...”
Luo Ying let him hold her tightly, her heart filled with complicated emotions.
Xiang Yuandai let her go, looked at the change in her expression, smiled freely, and comforted her:
"Don't feel burdened. I just can't help but tell you what's in my heart. Just like Hua Hongsu said, the highest level of loving someone is to fulfill them. After this life-and-death catastrophe, I know that I will never be able to enter your heart, but it doesn't matter, as long as you are happy. If Hua Yuchen dares to treat you badly, I will do my best to get you back."
Luo Ying was already in tears. Xiang Yuandai gently wiped the tears from her face, pulled her to sit down, and said gently:
"Eat quickly, the food will get cold soon."
On the execution platform in Heaven, Hua Yuchen’s face was ashen and his eyes were as sharp as ice.
He asked Feng Yequn in a low voice: "Who is it this time?"
Feng Yequn replied:
"It's the maidservant that Hua Hongsu drove away before. She still holds a grudge against me because of what happened last time..."
Hua Yuchen punched the stone pillar angrily and roared:
"We should have eradicated her last time and put an end to her troubles forever!"
He paused and asked, "What tricks did she play this time?"
Feng Yequn confessed to Hua Yuchen everything she had done, including sending fake wedding invitations, tampering with the paper cranes, and setting off fireballs to attack Luo Ying.
Hearing this, Hua Yuchen's eyes were filled with rage, his lips were trembling with anger, his chest was heaving like a raging tide, and his angry voice was like thunder that echoed between heaven and earth:
"I will tear her into pieces! How dare she provoke Luo Ying in the way that she hates the most, and even tried to kill her..."
Feng Yequn tightly grasped his arm and warned him in a low voice: "Calm down, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."
However, Hua Yuchen could no longer suppress his anger, and his voice was shaking with excitement:
"Quick, arrange some people to tie that bitch back. I want to deal with her myself!"
Feng Yequn stared at him coldly, his voice without a trace of warmth: "No need, someone has already taken care of it for us. Her immortal bones have been plucked out and she has been thrown into the mortal world."
"What?" Hua Yuchen was stunned, "Who... is so cruel?"
"King Yu." Feng Yequn's voice was as cold as the wind.
Hua Yuchen felt uneasy and asked nervously, "How did this matter have to do with him again?"
Feng Yequn's eyes were filled with deep sorrow: "If it weren't for Prince Yu risking his life to block those deadly fireballs for Luo Ying, she would probably have died by now."
Hua Yuchen's anger was like a raging wildfire, burning fiercely. He gnashed his teeth and roared, "Could it be that he has also fallen in love with Luo Ying..."
Feng Yequn's voice remained calm and still: "When Prince Yu's term of office expires tomorrow and he returns to heaven, Your Highness can ask him for confirmation in person."
Hua Yuchen's face turned ashen, and his clenched fists seemed to crush the air.
