I was so scared that I lost two out of seven souls.
Now, after making sure that he was really fine, I felt relieved, smelled the pleasant smell of ambergris, and quickly fell asleep.
The moon moves westward, and the night watch stops. The eastern kingdom is the first to be bathed in sunlight. As the moon retreats below the horizon, the first rays of sunlight slowly rise from the east.
The pain all over his body was relieved a lot. After sweating profusely, Baili Yi slowly opened his eyes feeling relaxed.
When he saw the woman he had been thinking about day and night nestled in his arms, he revealed a lovesick smile.
How wonderful it would be if he could wake up every day with this woman in his arms...
He stretched out his right hand and couldn't help but gently touch the woman's cheek, which was so smooth that it was broken by the flick of his finger. The touch of her skin, as smooth as mutton-fat jade, made Baili Yi's heart tremble.
Ever since he'd said those hurtful words to her that day at the Crown Prince's residence, he'd spent nearly every day in self-blame and sadness. Father was right; the three of them had inherited his infatuation. Emotion would be their greatest barrier in this life. That was why, at the age of 23, they hadn't married yet, unwilling to let emotions hold them back. They had more important things to do.
But does it mean there is no emotion and bond without marriage?
The answer is obviously no.
If there were no ties without marriage, then why was he feeling so heartbroken now? What was the reason for the pain that had been lingering in his heart for so long?
At this moment, Baili Yi's heart was filled with regret. He regretted giving up the last chance Feng Wenzhuo had given him. He really shouldn't have hurt Luo Ran like that back then.
Especially when he saw Qian Yeming's sincerity towards Xiao'er and the bright smile Xiao'er showed to Qian Yeming, he felt very, very regretful.
He once asked Xiao'er if she would regret it if one day she would be implicated by Qian Yeming and not only could she not get the life they wanted but even lose her life because of him.
Xiao'er's answer to him was: I wish to find a devoted person who will stay with me till we are old. Even if it means going to the sky or the underworld, just holding his hand will be enough.
The moment he heard Xiao'er's answer, he regretted it immensely. He should have asked one more question that day.
Because Xiao Er told him: Relationships are a matter between two people. As long as there is love between each other, no decision should be made unilaterally. It is well known that sometimes, the thoughts you think are for the other person are the real culprits that hurt them.
Suddenly, heavy footsteps were heard outside, interrupting Baili Yi's thoughts.
"Baili Yi, get out here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was mercilessly kicked open from outside. Feng Luoran, who was sleeping soundly, was also startled by the kick and jumped up suddenly.
She forgot that she was in the arms of an injured person. This large movement instantly made the stunned Baili Yi curl up in pain.
"Yi, how are you? Did I hurt you? Let me see!"
Thinking about how Baili Yi was so badly injured but was hit by her like that, Feng Luoran felt her scalp tingling and her heart aching.
The intense pain instantly brought Baili Yi back to reality. Looking at Feng Luoran who was only wearing a bellyband, Baili Yi opened the corners of his lips slightly, and the feeling he had when he was in a daze last night instantly rushed into his mind like a flood.
Last night when he was very cold, he seemed to feel a woman crawling into his arms.
