Flowers of Love c8

"Had I known early that you'd be looking like this, I'd rather not come!" That man refuted, carrying a hint of resentment. Footsteps were already making their rapid way over though.


"I'm already like this, don't you....know how to say anything nicer!" Yin Luo sighed, chuckling as she complained, "Yue Ran."


"Sure I do! Who said I don't!" His temper rising, two thick brows raising up some more, "If you want to hear nice things, would you please let me know in advance? Then I'll say what you want me to say! d.a.m.n....what is this?"


He stopped five feet from her, glaring at the invisible barrier and barked, "And you still have energy to set a barrier?"


"That wasn't set by me!" Yin Luo was answering in a slow manner, voice soft as if the next moment it would break. Suddenly a thought seemed to surface in her mind, the corner of the lips slowly raised, "Yue Ran, I'm telling you, I....I finally found it...found..."


"Just shut it!" Yue Ran turned around to glare at her, holding a hand flat in the air, "If you still have something to say, wait until I get in!" After saying that, he started to chant some incantations. Although there is no wind, strands of his hair lifted. Suddenly, a bright light emited from his fist, the pressure so great that he was pushed back.


Yue Ran took two steps backward in shock, looking towards that person on the ground, "This is a barrier set by which person? I'm actually not able lift it?"


Yin Luo lightly smiled, her eyes curving like crecent moons, looking back at him.


Yue Ran's face immediately swollen into a maroon color, glaring at her, "Don't laugh, the only one who isn't learned is you! I'm definitely not!" After finishing talking, he is once again staring ahead, "If unable to lift it, can only destroy it then."


A brightness accompanying the wave of a hand, something seemed to have flashed out from his hands, like a weapon. With an effortless swipe, the barrier in front was easily shattered.


Yin Luo pouted, no longer making any sound. Even if unlearned, it's still taught by you.


"Hey, Ya Tou, you're still breathing right?" With quick steps, coming in, even though Yue Ran was able to tell from a distance that her injuries were not light, but in close sight he still manages to be horrified. When lifting up the body on the ground, his hands couldn't help but start trembling. *An informal way of addressing a girl that is younger than you. Kind of like La.s.sie or Missy.*


Yin Luo was still smiling without a care, as if already used to his hostile way of talking, "I....I won't die!"


"It better be that way!" Yue Ran glared at her again, from his side fished out a pill, "This is the Soul Replenishing Pill, taking it at least can stop the bleeding from your wounds!"


Yin Luo took the pill from his hand, but was not in a rush to swallow it, holding the pill in her hand, "This was suppose to be the potent medicine that her Honor bestowed to you, yet, it's actually me who have used up the most!" Yin Luo was still smiling, under her body the red lotuses becoming more vivid, like fire.


"Since you know, then stop giving me more troubles!" Yue Ran angrily confronted, taking hold of that hand holding the medicine, and pushing it towards her mouth, "Take it already!" Not caring whether or not she might accidently bite her fingers.


Yin Luo hadn't reacted in time, the medicine was already swallowed, and now was choking. Coughing, "...You can't....can't be gentler?"


"No!" Yue Ran answered cleanly, moving his hand to the center of her back and slowly transfering some energy, accelerating the effect of the medicine. Yin Luo only felt a warmth spreading out from her chest, the pain from the wounds have eased quite a bit, the body also starting to regain some strength.


Lifting her head to look up at Yue Ran's year round never changing iceberg of a face, suddenly there was a lot of things she wanted to tell him, "Yue Ran, I'm telling you, you're right. In this world....really, really there's someone who would treat me sincerely! Only if I look...I have actually found already...."


"Don't talk! You're injured very seriously!" Yue Ran obviously has not effected her happy mood, restraining her from jumping about joyfully.


"What I'm saying is real...really!" Yin Luo had not complied and took out her hands, again tightly pulling on his sleeves, as if holding onto the last life-saving straw. "You don't want to know?"


Yue Ran cooly glanced at her. Those pair of starry eyes was like saying, ask me, ask me! A sigh, "How do you know he's not going to be like the rest?"


"Won't be! He won't be!" Yin Luo shook her head affirmatively.


"Which time hadn't you said that?" Giving her a cross look, he continued to help stop her bleeding. Which time hadn't she run off, after being taken advantage of, before knowing to be upset. Everyone says; once bitten by a snake, ten years would be afraid of ropes. Unfortunately she has a bad memory. Even knowing that she'd be used, she would still hastly run after it. When would she learn to be smarter?


"But Bai Zhu is not the same, he said that he didn't want anything! He protected me not for any reasons!"


"Bai Zhu?" Yue Ran turned around.


"His name is Bai Zhu, a disciple from Bai Mu!"


"That barrier was set by him?" Yue Ran questioned, his eyes narrowed.


"Yes!" Yin Luo nodded, "Although he has only just become a xian, and just a low xian, but he is quite capable." Yin Luo looked proud.


"A low xian?" Yue Ran scoffed.


"I have never met him before, yet there's a sense of being vaguely familiar. Perhaps it's fate, he treats me very well, even when I give him the Liu Hua Flower...he didn't reject! So...."


"You gave the Liu Hua Flower to him!" Yue Ran's face sudden pales, pulled her hand, face full of surprise!


"Of course!" Yin Luo grinned, very cheerful, "I even thought that even till death I'd never be able to send out this Liu Hua Flower! Finally..."


Yue Ran forehead creased even tighter, staring at that content expression of hers, moved but did not open his mouth.


"I know you're worried!" Yin Luo looked towards him, "But this is my choice. I've lived for a thousand years, that long, yet I've never made any decision. This time...I trust my instinct, and also trust him!"


Yin Luo's face showed a never before seen firmness, Yue Ran understood that at this time, no matter what more he says, she wouldn't listen. Brows tightened until they couldn't be any tighter, seeming to have remembered something, a long sigh. "Hopefully....you won't regret!"


Shifting his eyes towards the wounds on her body, the bleeding has already stopped, but still not seeing them closing up, his expression changed greatly,"Your injury... You've been hit with negative energy?" Yue Ran is shakened, her injuries were already serious enough. With this negative energy now also in the body, likely to have already hurt her core, if prolonged...


"You....you idiot, for someone you've just met, is it worth it? This won't do...I'll take you back to the Divine Mountain and ask her Lord Honor to bestow you the 'Soul Return'."


"No! I can't go back right now!" Yin Luo quickly grabbed his hand just in time, glanced in the direction of the peach forest, "I said I'd take Bai Zhu to the Divine Mountain. I want to wait until he comes back!"


"You can wait, your injuries can't wait!" Yue Ran teeth clenched, itching to land her a slap or two, "Ya Tou, do you even know what your current condition is? If I hadn't come to find you.... you'd..." Yue Ran didn't dare to think further, fist clenched dead tight. "If you don't go back with me right now, in the future don't expect me to come look for you!"


Yue Ran, this time around, had really become mad to the point of not being able to think straight. Her own condition, Yin Luo also clearly understands. It must be very serious, if not why would she be in need of that dead-reviving Soul Return? But she doesn't want to just leave Bai Zhu here like this, that person that she had not easily found. Even for a moment, she doesn't want to part with him.


"Then allow me to just let him know, alright?" Just a word with him, let him know that she needs to go back first, tell him that she'd be waiting for him to come find her.


"You.... Suit yourself!" Yue Ran teeth clenched, flinging his sleeves out, about to stalk off angrily, but seing Yin Luo's unsupported frame, could not resist to go help support her again, so all the more gnashing his teeth in anger.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Yin Luo endures her bodily pains while heading in the direction where Bai Zhu left, inside the heart though, it is unwearily happy. The Jade Pool is already back in its designated spot, he should be done with his duties already. If he's done already, would he be willing to just go with her like this?


She does really seem like an idiot! Their days in the future is still plentiful, so why so worked over one day? And her injury, even if she's able to get the andedote from her Honor, even if lucky, it will still take some days to get better. But just remembering that he had accepted the Liu Hua Flower, she can't help but start giggling again. It was genuine and sincere. He had sincerely accepted her. Since the day she can remember, she had not known what genuineness and sincerity feels like. Although Yue Ran treats her well, but he was someone that she grew up with, and he is still a person under her Lord Honor. Towards her, how much of it is out of sincerity, and how much of it is respect towards her Lord Honor, it's still unable to clearly differentiate.


Ahead, there is a figure moving about. That prominent snowy white robe, Yin Luo was able to recognize with one glance. The heart begins to flutter and flutter! She stopped, just about to call him, but suddenly hears, "Zi Xin!"


Zi Xin? That name is very familiar! Is it the wrong person?


In that direction, comes one person. Wearing a green robe, he looks vaguely familiar, like someone from the Jade Pool Party.


"You're not going back to Bai Mu. Where are you heading now?"


"I'm going to look for someone." His expression carried urgency, furrowed brows while looking in the distance. Yin Luo's heart can not refrain from flowing out sweetness.


"Who would that be?"


"Yin Luo?"


"Yin Luo? That disowned G.o.d?" The green robed man was greatly surprised! "How did you get to know such a person?"


"Earlier, I was deliberately steered away from the Jade Pool by the Mo Realm. Sensing a surge of energy, so stopped to lend a hand, then found out it was her!"


Yin Luo's movement halts!


"It was her that brought me into the Jade Pool through a secret pa.s.sageway, so that everyone could be rescued! Right now she's injured, so it's only reasonable that I must go save her!"


"There is talk of this person only having the body of a G.o.d, but no G.o.dly powers, with capabilities that can't even be compared to those from our Xian Realm! That's why she is referred to as a disowned G.o.d. What's the use of saving her? Moreover, for those members of the G.o.ds, naturally should be those from the G.o.ds' side coming to the aid !"


"Shi Xiong, although her G.o.dly powers are useless, but she is ultimately of the G.o.ds' lineage. Most importantly, she is her Lord Honor's younger sister. During the day of combat with the two realms of Yao and Mo, it would definitely be of use. With the two realms having long come to trouble, our Bai Mo can overlook this no more. This time, they can use the Tian Ling Zhen Array. In the days to come, they will also be able to use a more powerful array spell. From the Xian Realm, those who are as learned as me, there are only 4 people, which I'm afraid will be unable to completely resist the ambitions of the Mo Realm. If we are able to recieve her Lord Honor's support, to the Xian Realm, how is it not a good thing?"


......So, from the beginning.... from the beginning.... it was still because of her Lord Honor....


So, from the beginning... till the end.... it was only a beautiful dream. She is in some trance, suddenly remembering some instances from her youth, involving many people, things, matters. In the start, she is filled with joy, but in the end, it all comes down to nothing. Yue Ran didn't say anything wrong, each time she was like this, each time...she never learns!


Everyone decieves her, all just using her!


But....he had clearly accepted the Liu Hua Flower already. He had clearly promised.


She swallowed while taking a step back, staring in the distance under a peach tree, at that white figure, rubbing her eyes. She wanted to make sure, was it just... seeing wrong, is it because she was injured too heavily.... so.... she was seeing things. Ahead, that can't be Bai Zhu.


Bai Zhu..... Zi Xin......


"You don't know my teacher? My Teacher, Mu Zi Xin, Zi Xin of Bai Mu!"


By the earside, she suddenly recalls Gu Chian Fan's words.


Ah.....


So..... he's that High Xian of Bai Mu, Gu Chian Fan's teacher, Mu Zi Xin! Since the beginning..... he doesn't even need her help and is already a High Xian. Since the beginning.... he wouldn't care to be able to go to the Divine Mountain.
