In the black world, consciousness is slowly recovering.
Yun Che opened his eyes and saw a petite red figure standing in front of him, looking at him silently.
Her beautiful little face was filled with arrogance and coldness. She was still wearing her favorite Hongxun Liuxian dress. Her long red hair covered her waist and hips, making her already slender body even more delicate.
“Mo… Li…” Yun Che called softly. Even though he knew he was in a dream, his soul was still trembling with excitement, unable to stop.
"You've hurt yourself like this again. Could it be because of some woman again?" Jasmine stared at him with a familiar look and tone, and she was trying hard to put on the majestic posture of a master.
“Hehe…” Yun Che smiled: “It really is. Her name is Little Jasmine.”
"Hmph!" Jasmine was furious: "When will you learn to cherish your own life! During the years I was with you, I made many misjudgments about you, but there is one thing that I will never be wrong about - if one day you die tragically, it will definitely be because of a woman!"
“If it’s for you,” Yun Che looked at her and said firmly, “I will never hesitate.”
"...Idiot!" She cursed loudly, but turned her back and looked away from him: "When we parted, I had already said it. Our fate has ended. We have no connection anymore, and we will never meet again."
"Live well and stop having unnecessary extravagant hopes...even if it's for me."
The sound was fading away, and the hazy figure was gradually becoming blurred.
"Jasmine...Jasmine! Don't leave yet, I have a lot to tell you...Jasmine!!"
Yun Che sat up all of a sudden. The severe pain that attacked his entire body instantly sobered him up, and his vision quickly became clear.
This seemed to be a natural cave, with a pile of burning wood emitting bright flames. A girl in colorful clothes was sitting in front of him with her legs bent, her hands supporting her cheeks, and her dark eyes staring at him without blinking.
"You woke up so soon. I thought you were going to sleep for a long time." Little Jasmine still held her cheeks with both hands, squeezing her cute little face between her hands. After she finished speaking, she muttered softly, "After all, the injury is so serious."
"How long have I slept?"
Yun Che had a splitting headache and subconsciously covered his head. It took a long time before the pain was slightly relieved.
The mental damage this time is far greater than the physical damage, and it will probably take a long time to recover.
Little Jasmine tilted her head slightly, thought for a moment and said, "It seems like two or three hours. Oh, brother-in-law, you just kept calling Sister Jasmine's name."
"..." Yun Che held his breath for a short while, then slowly sat up straight, leaning his back against the stone wall. There was already a little more light in the darkness outside, and it was already the middle of the night: "What is this place? You brought me here?"
"Of course it's me. Could it be those bad guys?" Little Jasmine pouted her lips. "I don't know where this place is, but it's safe. There's nothing around. Brother-in-law, please thank me. If I hadn't worked so hard to bring you to such a safe place, you would have been eaten by the mysterious beast by now."
"..." Yun Che did not speak, slowly regaining his spirit. However, the red figure in his dream kept floating in front of his eyes, lingering.
"Jasmine..." His eyes gradually blurred and he muttered unconsciously.
Little Jasmine opened her lips slightly, staring at Yun Che’s dazed look for a while, and suddenly asked, “Brother-in-law, are you really mad at me now?”
“…” Yun Che turned around and finally glared at Little Jasmine, saying fiercely, “What do you think? Last time it was fine, but this time, you almost killed me!”
“Hehehe.” Little Jasmine stuck out her tongue and said, “Actually…actually, whether it was this time or the last time, I deliberately let those bad guys find me because I knew my brother-in-law was right next to me. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to find me.”
“You!” Yun Che turned his head abruptly, his eyes fixed, “You are indeed not as simple as you seem. Who are you… why did you want to harm me!?”
"I'm not trying to harm my brother-in-law. I just..." Little Jasmine curved her eyebrows and said with a smile, "I just want to see if my brother-in-law will risk his life to save me."
“Humph!” Yun Che frowned and said unhappily, “You and I have no relationship at all. How can you be so confident that I would risk my life to save you?”
"Of course it's because I'm so pretty and cute, my brother-in-law would never let me get hurt in the slightest." Little Jasmine said without hesitation.
Yun Che: “…”
"Well, there is actually another...very small reason." Little Jasmine lowered her voice a few notes: "I want to know if my brother-in-law would be unwilling to abandon me just because I have the same name as Sister Jasmine... I didn't expect that my brother-in-law would be such a big idiot!"
Little Jasmine’s words directly hit Yun Che’s sore spot.
The biggest reason, or even the only reason, why he risked his life again and again to save this girl who had nothing to do with him was that her name was "Little Jasmine".
Whether it was a coincidence or she just made it up, Yun Che, who came from the God Realm alone for Jasmine and whose whole soul was filled with Jasmine, could not help but deeply touch his heart with the name "Little Jasmine". He rejected her calling him by that name, and was disgusted by her forcing Jasmine to be called "Sister Jasmine" and calling him brother-in-law...
But invisibly, it left a subtle mark in his heart.
When Jasmine was in deep danger, the overlapping feelings that kept flashing across his mind made it impossible for him to ignore it.
"... There won't be a next time. Also, don't call me brother-in-law anymore. Hiss..."
The tone was a little harsh, touching the wound. Yun Che frowned in pain and his body twitched slightly.
Unexpectedly, in the face of Yun Che's rebuke, this time Little Jasmine was no longer as unruly and unreasonable as before, but instead pursed her lips lightly, with an expression that seemed to be both guilty and aggrieved, and said timidly, "Brother-in-law, I already know I was wrong. At the time, I just thought it was fun, and I didn't expect that I would harm Brother-in-law like this."
She reached out her hand and gently touched the wound on Yun Che’s chest. She wanted to touch it but didn’t dare to: “Does it hurt? I promise it won’t happen again. It definitely won’t happen again.”
Her pitiful look of admitting her fault made Yun Che, who was originally holding back a lot of anger and resentment, unable to vent any more. He shook his head and said helplessly, “Forget it, it’s good that you know you’re wrong…”
Before he finished speaking, Little Jasmine's eyes lit up and she cried out, "I knew my brother-in-law wouldn't be angry with me, hehe! Brother-in-law, when you were sleeping, you called Sister Jasmine's name more than a dozen times. You risked your life to save me because of Sister Jasmine. You are so good to Sister Jasmine, no wonder she is willing to marry you!"
“…” Yun Che took a deep breath and said, “Since you have confessed everything to me, I will also confess something to you. Jasmine…she is not my wife, but my master.”
"Hey?" Little Jasmine opened her lips and said, "Master? Ah... eh... then my brother-in-law must respect her very much, right?"
“Respect?” Yun Che raised his head: “I don’t know. I don’t know what kind of feelings I have for her. She is my master, but she is more than just my master.”
Little Jasmine did not interrupt, but just looked at him quietly without blinking.
"She taught me many, many things, but I never had the same respect for her as I would for a mentor. She saved me many, many times. Without her, I would have been buried long ago. But I never seemed to have the same gratitude towards her as I would for a lifesaver. She was the person who scolded me the most and the most fiercely in this world, but I never got angry at all because of it. On the contrary... I dreamed that she would scold me a thousand or ten thousand times more."
These words came out unconsciously. For Jasmine, he came to the God Realm. He met countless people, but he was always lonely. The Jasmine buried deep in his heart was a terrible taboo here, and he couldn't speak of it.
At this moment, in front of "Little Jasmine" who was calling her brother-in-law so eagerly, in a hazy state of consciousness, the desire to confide in her could not be suppressed.
"I have always known that she and I are from two different worlds. But I never expected that we would be separated so suddenly and so decisively."
"After she left, I felt like half of me was suddenly empty. I thought I was used to relying on her strength and the sense of security she gave me, but later, I gradually realized that I was used to her and everything about her. Without her, there will be a void in my life that will never be filled."
Little Jasmine opened her mouth and whispered, "So... are you looking for her?"
“Well,” Yun Che, who was in a daze, did not realize the strangeness of Little Jasmine’s words, and said half to himself: “I was born in the lower realm and came to the God Realm just to see her again… No matter what, I must find her, even if it is just for a perfect farewell.”
Yun Che closed his eyes… If after finding Jasmine, all he got was a farewell, could he really let it go?
"You came to the God Realm to look for Sister Jasmine... is that the only reason?" Little Jasmine asked.
“Yeah.” Yun Che responded without hesitation.
"..." Little Jasmine's eyes were a little confused. She bit her lip and asked softly, "Then where is she? How are you going to find her?"
“I know where she is, but that is a place I can never go.” Yun Che smiled faintly: “However, I have found a way to see her again. As long as I find two more things, I will definitely be able to see her in two years.”
“Hey? What is that?” The little hand grabbed Yun Che’s arm and shook it unconsciously: “Tell me quickly, maybe I have heard of it.”
Yun Che smiled and said casually: “One of these two things is called Nine-Star Buddha Jade, and the other is called Imperial Immortal Grass.”
“Nine-Star Buddha Jade…Imperial Immortal Grass…” Little Jasmine recited it silently and blinked her eyes…It seemed like she had heard it before, but also like she hadn’t heard it before?
“These are all very rare things. It’s normal that you don’t know about them.” He was not surprised by the confusion on Little Jasmine’s face. After saying so many words unconsciously, Yun Che’s consciousness began to become heavy again. He glanced at the sky outside, began to gather his mind, and then silently practiced the Great Buddha Sutra: “I need to heal my wounds now. It’s best not to disturb me anymore. You should also have a good rest. After dawn, I will take you away from here.”
"Oh." Little Jasmine responded absentmindedly.
As the Great Buddha Technique was in operation, Yun Che quickly entered a state of meditation, and his body and mind began to recover rapidly.
"What a strange name. I don't think I have it at home." Little Jasmine has been thinking about it. After thinking hard for a long time, her eyes finally lit up.
"Oh, right, you can go ask those old men in the Tianji world!"
The idea was made up. The girl suddenly became happy, stood up and flew away immediately, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
