378 Between Life and Promise

Li FuJin is completely astounded. He had just confirmed what King Galad is talking about. His heart skipped a beat. Who would not be worried about sleeping with YuYan who hasn't recovered her memories of him? Worse, he is just forced to break the seal on YuYan's mentality to unleash her high mental strength that would enable her to control the blended elements which is slowly killing her. Not that he doesn't want to, he just felt tied to the promise he made to her that they would only do the process after they got married and find out what her family is keeping from her. So with hesitation and complicated feelings, Li FuJin asked. "Will.. Will she have enough.." His voice is shaking. "Mentality to.." He gulped. "control her elements?" He almost choked. Li FuJin's heart kept pounding hard, beads of sweat continued to form on his forehead. Although he has been yearning to sleep with YuYan, he can't help but feel so nervous. Afraid that she might hate him afterwards for not keeping his promise. His complicated expression made King Galad subconsciously twitched his lips. He did not expect for Li FuJin to have this kind of reaction. "I was able to control the poison, but it will appear again if she still has a sealed mentality." Increasing Li FuJin's worries. "You must be wondering about her elements. She has been controlling it since she was a child." He added, but his voice become serious. "But it was ruined after the incidents twelve years ago." Without giving a chance for Li FuJin to ask. King Galad stood up and walked towards him and stopped for a moment to speak without looking at him. "You have met the conditions. You can see her now at the moon chamber." After his words, King Galad continued to leave. Leaving Li FuJin with a complicated expression. He can only think that YuYan's situation was caused by him. He began to blame himself for biting YuYan that night. Li FuJin believed that it was the reason why she ended up on this situation. But something is off about King Galad's words. Li FuJin recalled King Galad's words, especially when he stated 'Incidents'. Deep suspicious arose in his mind. He felt something happened aside the incident between him and YuYan. Nonetheless, Li FuJin could only set it aside. He need to focus on how to break the seal, but it only worsened his nervousness for unknown reasons. He took a deep breath, but his feet seemed rooted on the ground. Li FuJin didn't know why he was hesitating to see YuYan in the moon chamber. It took a couple of minutes before Li FuJin finally started to walk but he kept on pausing his from steps time to time. Finally, after a long time of trying hard to continue walking, he reached the moon chamber's door. However, Li FuJin did not open it. He just kept on standing outside the door. His mind debating, torn between his promise and the desire to help her. Li FuJin didn't know how long he stood but he suddenly turned around and left to look for Marlene and the others. When he found them at a living room connected to their rooms, Li FuJin did not say anything but sat beside them who were drinking tea, but he did not speak. Marlene raised her brows in curiosity. It is the first time she had seen such a complicated expression on his face. They glanced at each other wondering what happened. Knowing that YuYan's poison has been controlled, Marlene cannot think of any reason for Li FuJin to have such expression.  Marlene had thought Li FuJin would immediately rush to see YuYan, but he came to them with a complicated face instead. "Why are you here? Did King Galad forbid you from seeing her?" Waiting for Li FuJin to answer, he opened his mouth and closed it right away while he turned his head to look somewhere else. But they can clearly see fear and hesitation on his face. Marlene: "..." Why is he acting so weird? Zhen Hai: "..." Ugh? Is this a different person? Lanyi: "..." I can feel something is wrong... Li FuJin's reaction made everyone stupefied. They can't help but look at each other with confusion. Zhen Hai asked courageously, "Bro, why are you acting like you will get killed?"
