Looking at Luo Wen's cold and handsome profile, she only felt his pain. Taking a deep breath, Su Yin forced a smile and moved a little closer to him. She smiled softly and said soothingly, "It will pass. It will all pass."
Luo Wen tilted his head, looking at the heartache in Su Yin's eyes, yet she was still trying hard to pull the corners of her mouth to soothe her anxiety. Luo Wen's heart couldn't help but move, and the icy look in his eyes just now gradually melted away. His hand couldn't help but gently stroke Su Yin's hair, and he whispered, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
After receiving Luo Wen's assurance, Su Yin finally felt relieved. Seeing Luo Wen's pair of big hands rubbing his head, he raised his hand and slapped it away, slapping the big hands that were wreaking havoc on his head. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but he said in a stern voice with a hint of anger, "You, don't treat me like a child."
Aren't you? Luo Wen smiled slightly, but didn't say anything. He ignored Su Yin's angry words, raised his hand gently, and continued to touch her head, "Why aren't you a child?"
"Humph, I'm not, no, no!" Su Yin puffed up her face, but she didn't knock the hands off her head again. Feeling Luo Wen's hands gently stroking her head, bringing a slightly itchy feeling, and seeing the faint smile on his lips, Su Yin couldn't help but curl her lips.
Another gentle breeze blew, lifting the layers of gauze behind them, blending purple and pink into one. Luo Wen lowered his head slightly, looking at Su Yin, who was already fast asleep on his shoulder, breathing evenly, and smiled unconsciously.
Looking at her childish sleeping face, he vaguely recalled his childhood nightmares. He couldn't tell her the pathetic means he had used to obtain the spirit beast's inner elixir. The spirit beast had already cultivated for centuries, so how could it so easily give its inner elixir to a weak mortal as he claimed? She was the only one who would believe such a naive statement.
By then, he had reached the end of his rope, and the spirit beast had also suffered a devastating blow from an unknown source, severely injured and likely nearing death. He couldn't truly recount to her the despicable means he had used to obtain the spirit beast's inner elixir, nor how it had died with hatred. Perhaps this spirit beast, after centuries of cultivation, could never have imagined that it would ultimately die at the hands of a human, a mere ant in its eyes.
Heh. Luo Wen sneered coldly, and the icy feeling gradually crept up his face again. Suddenly, he felt the warmth coming from his neck, but Luo Wen lowered his head again.
It doesn’t matter anymore. None of it matters anymore.
Looking at Su Yin, who had long since fallen asleep on his shoulder, her face was filled with childish innocence, as pure as a child who had just experienced the world. Although he had been curious about her origins, her true purpose for staying, and her intentions, he no longer wanted to know anything and only wanted to quietly protect her innocence.
I will protect you and will not let any of the evil in this world hurt you.
You just need to stay by my side.
That's all that's needed.
With a slight curl of his lips, Luo Wen turned his head and saw the full pool of water and fallen leaves all over the sky. He slowly leaned his head against Su Yin's shoulder, her slightly heavy breathing still echoing in his ears, surrounding him non-stop.
Where the weather is beautiful and the scenery is picturesque.
