CH 148

I'm Not Afraid of Being Overcome by Him

That night, the eighteen gods joined forces and did their utmost to mend the crack in the Emperor's Star, so that it would not fall and kill Yan Yuan on the spot.

He had destroyed his strong qi with his own hands, and half of what he had before was gone.

Yan Yuan was in a coma for three months, and when he woke up it was dusk, he could not see, so the fairy serving him told him. He was told that Xuan Long was much better and had gone out last month to personally fetch A'Zhi from Ye Ling Shenjun at the Temple of the Clouds.

Yan Yuan had not seen A'Zhi for a long time and missed him so much. As soon as he woke up, he got out of bed and wanted to go to General Xuan Hall. He knew in his heart that apart from seeing A'Zhi, he also wanted to take this opportunity to see Xuan Long, who, in front of children, would not show it even if he did not like him.

He asked the fairy to find a dye, then carefully dyed his long hair black, and put on a jade crown and a silver robe. When the fairy had finished his clothes and crown, Yan Yuan was apprehensively sitting in front of the mirror, looking at himself in the mirror with unfocused eyes, and said unconfidently:

"Do I look the same as before..."

The fairy took a closer look at Yan Yuan. Although his hair was dyed as black as before, there was no lustre to it, and his handsome face was pale with a sickly look that could not be hidden. Even his eyes, which once smiled enough to make everything lose colour, were now like a pool of stagnant water, so how could he look the same as before?

But the fairy couldn't bear to be too blunt and said in a soft, reassuring voice, "In reply to the Emperor's words, the Emperor is still as handsome as before, only his face is a little paler."

Yan Yuan could not see the fairy's hesitation.

He did not want Xuan Long to think that he was deliberately pretending to be pitiful to gain his sympathy, so he was silent for a moment before asking, "Is there any way to make my complexion look better?"

The fairy thought for a moment, "Yes, a thin layer of light pink powder will change your complexion."

Hearing this, Yan Yuan thought it was good, and asked the fairy to fetch the powder.

After the fairy brought it, she stuck the powder on her fingers and smeared a little across his cheekbones. Yan Yuan's skin was as white as porcelain, and no pores could be seen, so with the fairy's skill, the naked eye could not tell that anything had been applied to his face, but his complexion was noticeably better.

After repeatedly checking with the fairy to make sure his attire was fine, Yan Yuan got up and was assisted by the fairy as he walked out the door. Before he reached the door, the fairy suddenly used her voice transmission technique to call out to him.

"Emperor..."

"Hm?" Yan Yuan subconsciously answered.

"Huo, General Huo has returned from the mortal world..." The fairy stumbled over her words.

Ten thousand years ago, Yan Huo Heng had died in battle with Xuan Long, and after ten thousand years in reincarnation, he and Xuan Long had returned, so it was indeed time for Yan Huo Heng to return.

Yan Yuan stopped in his tracks, "... When did he come back?"

"He came back not long after you fell into a coma... I heard that General Xuan Long was seriously injured and bedridden during these days, and it was General Huo who was taking care of him. It has been rumoured that General Xuan Long was touched by General Huo's devotion and fell in love with him, and the lovers have finally become a couple."

"Impossible!" Yan Yuan's eyes suddenly reddened and he broke away from the fairy's support.

The fairy was startled by his roar and looked at him worriedly: "Emperor..."

Yan Yuan's whole body staggered, as if he was suffering from a disembodied soul, and he muttered, "No, no, the person he loves is me..."

"Emperor, don't be like this, your body should not be overly stimulated..." The fairy was afraid he would fall and stepped forward to help him.

Yan Yuan grabbed her wrist, and tears dripped from his hollow eyes: "The person he loves is me, isn't it?..."

"He is just angry with me, not in love... not in love..." Not really looking for answers from the fairy in the first place, after mumbling for a while, Yan Yuan let go of her hand and stumbled towards the door, saying that he wanted to ask Xuan Long for an answer, but he fell down midway and got up again on his own.

In the end, he could not even enter the door of Xuan Long's chambers.

He refused to see him.

Lian Bi blocked the door, with her usual burning satire and freezing irony. Yan Yuan did not care how the people other than Xuan Long treated him. He leaned on the door with one hand and knocked on the door with the other, his carefully groomed hair had long been disordered, the jade crown on his head had fallen somewhere, and he was cloaked, like a madman.

"A'Po... look at me... look at me okay... I have something I want to say to you... please..."

"Please..."

His eyes were swollen, his tears seemed to flow endlessly, and what was left of his dignity was lost.

Lian Bi looked at him coldly: "Ten thousand years ago, the General died in battle and you failed to protect him. Ten thousand years later, when the General died for you in the mortal world, you didn't know how to cherish him. Pushing him to the end of his life again and again, isn't that enough?"

"Emperor, please give up, there is no way to reset a broken mirror. The General and General Huo have already decided to live together for the rest of their lives. If you insist on getting involved, you will only make things difficult for the General."

Yan Yuan's hand was still pressed against the door, but his body slid down and fell limply to the ground: "I don't believe it... I want him to tell me himself... cough cough cough... " He covered his lips, but blood still spilled out of his fingers and dripped onto his silver and white robe.

Lian Bi sneered: "Do you think what you are doing now is enough to move Heaven and Earth? You have destroyed your own fortune and have only a hundred years left to live, yet you still have the face to come and stalk the General, who has always been cruel to you. The General should just be cruel to you. If he really does go soft on you, you can live comfortably for a hundred years, and when the time comes, you will leave the General alone in the world. Have you ever thought about how he will spend his long life?"

"From the beginning to the end, you only think of yourself. When you didn't love him, you used every possible means to humiliate him, but when you did love him, you didn't hesitate to destroy yourself in exchange for his heart. He was foolish, and you were able to coax him into your hands with a few kind words. After being betrayed and let down by you, he still risked his life to save you and shield you from the heavenly punishment. If you had any semblance of conscience, you should not have come back to haunt him!"

"I didn't... I didn't mean to... I just... just..."Just want to be with my beloved in my last moments.

Yan Yuan indeed had a selfish heart. When he heard about Xuan Long and Yan Huo Heng, the most immediate feeling he had was pain, the kind of pain that tore his heart and soul apart and made him lose his mind.

"He is the Lonely Heavenly Star, he cannot have feelings, he cannot be close to people, I can... I am not afraid to be overcome by him. You go tell him, let me meet him, okay... I really, really miss him..." Yan Yuan stretched out his blood-stained hand to grab Lian Bi's sleeve.
