Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 1279: Chapter 1279: The Anxious Huihui

“Mmm, certainly, I will definitely be devoted,” Liu Feng hurriedly nodded repeatedly, “You, you’re really beautiful.”

This was already the second time he had said these words. Xing Xuan’s gaze also became somewhat dazed, her teeth gently biting her red lips, she lowered her head and placed it against his chest.

Liu Feng was instantly bewildered, the faint fragrance entered his nostrils; it was the unique scent of a young girl. In his entire life, this was the first time he had been so close to a girl. In an instant, his heartbeat surged more than tenfold, his face already flushed red, even more at a loss for what to do.

On normal days, watching Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu as an inseparable pair, watching Lan Mengqin and Qian Lei sweetly bickering, didn’t he feel even a little bit envious? He too was a normal person, a young man full of vigor, although he devoted all his energy to cultivation. But in the occasional moments of relaxation, didn’t he also fantasize about what kind of partner he might have in the future?

And at this moment, all his imaginings had become reality. And such a pretty person was right before him.

Overcome with emotion, he finally did what a normal man should do; he cautiously extended his arms, first gently placing them on Xing Xuan’s back.

Xing Xuan seemed to sense some kind of pressure, slightly nudging her head upward, resting her cheek on his shoulder, and embraced his waist on her own initiative.

The dark night, the bright moonlight, the layers of tree shadows, the surging breath of life. And those figures clinging to each other, the pounding heartbeats. They painted a beautiful scene.

Tang Yuge did not return to the Inner Court, leaving the banks of Sea God’s Lake, she headed outside on her own. Walking alone on the paths of the outer courtyard. She herself couldn’t even tell the direction at this moment, just wandering aimlessly.

Yuanen Huihui followed her step by step, head lowered, not daring to lift it, just looking at Tang Yuge’s feet as they steadily moved forward.

Suddenly, Tang Yuge’s steps came to a halt, Yuanen Huihui did not react in time and almost collided into her, stopping just in time by a hair’s breadth.

“That was all an act just now, right?” Tang Yuge said coldly without turning around.

Yuanen Huihui continued to lower his head, saying nothing.

Tang Yuge suddenly turned around. But as she turned, she was taken aback. Because she suddenly realized that the moonlight behind her was completely blocked by the figure that was so close at hand.

Only at this moment did she come to understand that the boy who, in her imagination, always needed her care and hadn’t grown up yet, was already an adult.

His tall and slender figure was more than half a head taller than her, his light green hair cascading behind his head, lowering his head with an utterly honest expression, the handsome contour of his face was outlined with a pale moonlight shimmer.

The distinct masculine scent hit her face, as he was so close at hand.

Ordinarily, Tang Yuge had been up close with Yuanen Huihui numerous times, but today, she suddenly felt it was especially different. Her pretty face couldn’t help but blush slightly, and the reproachful words she intended to say suddenly became hard to utter.

For a moment, the two stood facing each other, one with a lowered head not daring to look up, the other with a somewhat blank mind.

After what felt like an eternity, Tang Yuge finally said: “It was Xuanyu who gave you that idea, right?”

“Ah?” Yuanen Huihui finally raised his head, hurrying to shake it, “No, no, not him, it was me.”

Tang Yuge coldly said: “As I thought, you lied to me. You? You could come up with such a bad idea, besides Lan Xuanyu, who else could make you do this? I don’t believe it, it was him.”

“I…” Yuanen Huihui didn’t know how to refute anymore. After all, Tang Yuge knew him too well; any rebuttal on his part seemed futile before her.

“Sis, I was wrong,” Yuanen Huihui admitted his error, looking downcast.

“Don’t call me sis,” Tang Yuge said, annoyed.

Yuanen Huihui suddenly seemed to become clever in this instant, his face full of joy as he raised his head and looked towards Tang Yuge, “What should I call you? Wife?”

“Slap—”

The tall figure traced an arc in the air, and was thrown far away.

Tang Yuge, with her head full of black lines, said, “You follow Lan Xuanyu all day, and you’ve learned to mimic him like this?”

Yuanen Huihui clutched his head and climbed up, feeling a bit stunned from the hit, but Lan Xuanyu’s words suddenly flashed through his mind.

“If you want to chase your sister, first you must understand what kind of person she is. Yu Ge is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, tough externally but soft inside. Since you’re her brother, if she could really accept you, you would need to show weakness in front of her to let her reveal her inner emotions. Do it a few more times, and it will naturally work out.”

“Pfft—” A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out from Yuanen Huihui’s mouth. He hadn’t even steadied himself when he collapsed again, weakly.

Tang Yuge, originally standing with her arms akimbo and filled with anger, suddenly saw Yuanen Huihui’s body soften and collapse, and was taken aback. She flashed to his side and held him up.

At this moment, Yuanen Huihui’s face was as pale as gold paper, and heat was still steaming off his body. It was clearly a sign that he had been poisoned with fire.

He had indeed been injured before, and under Lan Mengqin’s healing, the injury was initially suppressed. He just needed some time to recuperate to get back to normal.

But now it seemed like the injury had erupted!

“Huihui, Huihui.” Tang Yuge called out anxiously as she picked him up.

She clearly felt that Yuanen Huihui was not faking an injury, but was truly having an injury flare-up. The energy within his body was chaotic, and hot air kept bursting forth from within, feeling uncontrollable. It was obviously the effect of the Red Lotus Fire Poison.

Mengqin, where was Mengqin? She hadn’t noticed at all where Lan Mengqin and Qian Lei had gone just now.

She also deeply regretted why she had hit so hard, actually triggering Yuanen Huihui’s injury.

“Sis, I was wrong…” Yuanen Huihui struggled to open his eyes, muttering, and coughed up another mouthful of fresh blood.

“Don’t talk. You need to heal quickly,” Tang Yuge said angrily.

Yuanen Huihui gently shook his head, “Sis, I’m sorry. It was indeed Brother Xuanyu who taught me to trick you today. But, in fact, he didn’t know that the last time I looked at you, I suddenly felt that I truly had no chance. You would not like me because you never saw me as a real man. So, that arrow—I really intended to shoot it.”

“Back then, when you said you liked me too, I knew it was just to comfort me, so that I wouldn’t shoot that arrow. But in that moment, I was still very happy, so very happy. Sis, I’m sorry, I was wrong. Maybe, I really don’t deserve to like you. I don’t know what to say. Please, do not be unhappy, okay? If you don’t like it, I will never say it again, can I just be your brother?”

He spoke softly, voicing his feelings, tears uncontrollably streaming from the corners of his eyes. In his gaze, Tang Yuge seemed to see the same emotional turbulence he had when setting himself aflame, drawing his bow with that final arrow.

She knew, Yuanen Huihui would never lie in front of her. Because he simply couldn’t lie.

Suddenly, she just felt a very painful ache in her heart. It was an indescribable pain.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry. It’s not like what you said,” Tang Yuge’s eyes had also moistened.

“Actually, since that day, I’ve come to understand. In this world, the only person who wholeheartedly cares about me is you. Whether it’s my mom or that dad of mine, they are all so selfish. They only consider themselves and have never thought about me. I was so desperate, so very desperate. It was only you, who has always been by my side. Do you know? I was actually very scared today.”
