After Yun Che left the Abyss Dragon Clan, he came to the Star-Moon Divine Kingdom.
The indissoluble bond with this place was purely accidental and not part of Yun Che's plan. But when everyone from the Star-Moon Divine Kingdom showed up in the Pure Land without hesitation, Yun Che had to admit that he had a slight connection with this place, especially a woman named Lianyue.
Yun Che came to Lianyue's bedroom without any hindrance. He just wanted to see Lianyue and then leave.
The woman with her silver hair was leaning against the windowsill, her back slightly bent into a quiet and beautiful arc. She looked up at the clouds in the sky, and her fingertips unconsciously twisted her shoulder-length silver hair into loose curls, and the ends of her hair fluttered slightly in the breeze.
The clouds passed by her eyes, bringing up beautiful memories of the past, while hidden in her eyes was an unrelieved daze, like a page crumpled by the years, quietly stretching and curling up in time.
She just stared at the clouds rolling and unrolling, as if she had forgotten the passage of time.
Yun Che looked at Lianyue's profile, and a slight ripple appeared in his heart. This beautiful jawline was hidden with a trace of invisible longing and regret.
"Lian Yue."
A voice as soft as the wind sounded in Lianyue's ears, and she trembled for a moment like a little white rabbit. This soft voice hidden deep in her heart overturned the box of memories, and those brave and indulgent scenes of the past were clearly reflected in her mind again.
“Yao… Young Master Yun…” Lian Yue’s eyes touched Yun Che’s face, and she withdrew them in an instant, fearing that she would desecrate this handsome face.
Yun Che frowned slightly. Although he had rarely come to the Star-Moon Divine Country to accompany the Moon Goddess in recent years, it was not to the extent that their relationship had become so distant.
When the Pure Land was revived, he came to the Kingdom of Stars and Moon and saw a face full of expectation, but now there seemed to be a little more estrangement. Everything had become a little different after returning from the Pure Land.
“After knowing my true identity, you seem a little afraid of me?” Yun Che had never imagined that this meeting would turn out like this.
“No… No, how could I possibly be afraid of you? I… I just…” Lian Yue lowered her head, a hint of inferiority in her eyes. She felt that she was not worthy of a perfect man like Yun Che.
“Just what? Is there anything between you and me that’s unclear and hard to explain?” Yun Che didn’t press her, but expressed his confusion in the gentlest tone.
"Is it because of my status that you feel distant? That's completely unnecessary. You are the Moon Goddess of the Star-Moon Divine Kingdom. You will definitely be one of the rulers of the Star-Moon Divine Kingdom in the future. There are simply not many people in this world whose status and position can surpass yours."
"Or is it because I deceived you, hid my identity, and made you feel that everything about me was fake, so you are somewhat alienated from me?"
Yun Che searched for all the possibilities in his mind. Seeing Lianyue like this, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Lian Yue shook her head vigorously. She could see Yun Che’s confusion and disappointment, and didn’t want to let his emotions spread any further.
"Neither. I told you that no matter who you are or what you want to do, I will stand by you and support you without hesitation. Because you are the rest of my life."
"but……"
Lianyue's hands were tightly grasping the corners of her clothes, and a look of struggle appeared on her face.
I've clearly given up, but why do I still want to grab him the moment I see him? I don't want to miss him...
Finally, after a mental struggle, Lianyue took a deep breath and decided to tell Yun Che the truth.
"I met the Goddess of Colored Glass in the Pure Land. From the moment she asked about you, I realized that she had feelings for you that were special..."
"Although her words were calm, hidden beneath that calmness was obvious tension and anxiety. When I heard every detail of your past from her..."
My heart feels like it's being stabbed by a knife.
"She spoke calmly, but I could hear deep affection and attachment in her words, and even a strong possessiveness, as if you were her personal property."
“…” Yun Che was speechless. He had never expected that there was such a story in the Pure Land.
So Qingyue knows about Lianyue, is this the reason?
Yun Che's mind suddenly became clear, but his steps towards the Zhetian Divine Kingdom became increasingly heavy.
"But don't worry, I didn't say anything. I told her that you and I just met by chance and only met a few times." A look of panic suddenly appeared on Lian Yue's face, and she quickly waved her hands to explain that she did not "betray" Yun Che.
“With Caili’s intelligence, she’ll definitely be able to hear the falsehood in your words. You can read her hidden thoughts, so why can’t she understand your little secrets?” Yun Che smiled calmly, without any blame. “Actually, you don’t need to be like this. There aren’t many people in the world of the abyss that I care about, and you are one of them. You hold a great importance in my heart.”
Lian Yue stared blankly at Yun Che, her eyes filled with a myriad of emotions, and the corners of her eyes had been moistened with warmth without her knowing when.
For a long time, she had always felt that she was just a shadow passing by in the long river of Yun Che's life. After a brief stay, she would disappear and become a forgotten passerby.
However, today, Yun Che proved to her with his actions that he had always reserved a soft spot for her in his heart. This sudden change in cognition made Lian Yue feel mixed emotions, and the mixture of emotion and surprise almost overwhelmed her.
"Actually... I just want to be by your side forever. Whether I'm looking at you from afar or silently protecting you, I'll be very satisfied. Hearing you say this today, I have no regrets in my life." Lian Yue could no longer suppress her emotions and threw herself into Yun Che's arms. At this moment, she only wanted to selfishly keep Yun Che to herself, even if it was only for this moment.
“Today I belong only to you, and no one will compete with you for it.” Perhaps it was the last moment, Yun Che did not continue to suppress his emotions. At least in this moment, he wanted to hold Lianyue in his arms.
Everything was silent, and no words could break the stillness.
The soft curtains on the bed fell slowly, as if covering this world with a layer of dreamy gauze. At this moment, only the slight vibration of the curtains seemed to be telling and quietly recording the unique beauty of this moment in a silent rhythm. It was a kind of beauty and warmth that could only be understood but not described, flowing slowly in this quiet space.
“I’m about to do something very dangerous and cannot promise you a future, but if I can return safely, I will definitely take you to the ‘Eternal Pure Land’.” Yun Che promised.
Lian Yue reached out and blocked Yun Che's mouth: "I know my cultivation level is low and I can't help you much, but at least I will always pray for you. I believe you will return safely."
Yun Che hugged Lianyue's shoulders, and at this moment his heart was extremely peaceful.
