2504 Side Story 8: Three Holy Forces

Yan Qing returned to his residence and went into the bathroom to take a shower without hesitation.

…

When Tuan Zi woke up, it was already the next morning.

She opened her swollen walnut-like eyes in a daze and realized that she seemed to be lying in a warm embrace.

Chu Liuyue was hugging her as she lay down.

Her unique faint fragrance made Tuan Zi feel much more at ease.

She wrinkled her nose and subconsciously grabbed Chu Liuyue’s thin clothes tightly with her two small hands, carefully leaning into the latter’s arms. Her movements were very light, afraid that she would disturb her.

But the next moment, Chu Liuyue’s hand wrapped around her small body.

“You’re awake?” Her voice was extremely soft and gentle.

Tuan Zi was stunned. She looked up and met those eyes that seemed to have ripples.

She pursed her lips and asked softly, “A’Yue, did I wake you up?”

Chu Liuyue shook her head and placed her forehead on Tuan Zi’s. She smiled and said, “No, I woke up 15 minutes ago.”

Only then did Tuan Zi feel a little more at ease. She raised her small hand and rubbed her eyes.

She felt so sore and painful.

Chu Liuyue grabbed her hand and kissed her eyes gently.

When she heard Cen Yi say that Tuan Zi had fainted from crying in front of Mu Qinghe and Hong Yao, she put down everything else and specially came over to take a look.

That night, Tuan Zi didn’t sleep well and almost cried the entire night.

At first, she sat by the bed and coaxed her gently. Later on, she realized that it wasn’t very useful, so she took off her shoes and socks and went to bed to hug Tuan Zi to sleep. Fortunately, in her arms, Tuan Zi finally calmed down and barely stopped sobbing in the latter half of the night.

The pillow was also wet from crying. Chu Liuyue even specially changed her pillow later.

She pinched Tuan Zi’s face. “Do you want to sleep a little longer?”

Tuan Zi shook her head and sat up.

She looked around and realized that this was the room she and Chu Liuyue lived in after entering the Fantasy Divine Hall.

In the Fantasy Divine Hall, many places had to be cleaned up and repaired, so Cen Yi still got them to send Tuan Zi back here.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, Tuan Zi felt a lump in her throat and was in a daze.

Chu Liuyue also sat up. Seeing her like this, her heart seemed to be twisted by something. Needless to say, Tuan Zi must’ve thought of Hong Yao.

The next moment, Tuan Zi indeed muttered in a low voice, “A’Yue, it was here where I had the last fight with Hong Yao.”

Chu Liuyue hugged her.

“…At that time, I asked Hong Yao why it insisted on following Mu Qinghe, but it refused to say anything. I asked other questions, but it refused to answer. Later on, I got angry and quarreled with it. I even chased it out.” As Tuan Zi spoke, she stretched out her two small arms and hugged Chu Liuyue’s neck, burying her face in her shoulder. Her voice was muffled and a little hoarse.

“If I had known… If I had known, I would never have been angry with it! In the end, I-I didn’t even have time to apologize to Hong Yao…” Her voice gradually faded, and only her small body trembled slightly.

Chu Liuyue’s shoulders felt hot.

She closed her eyes.

The deaths of Mu Qinghe and Hong Yao were also a huge blow to her. Of course, she had long wanted to kill Mu Qinghe, but in the end, she never expected that he had never thought of living at all.

Probably, from the moment he regained his memory and made up his mind, he had already expected the final outcome.

As for Hong Yao…

She placed her chin on the top of Tuan Zi’s head and said softly, “Hong Yao likes you so much, so it’ll definitely not be angry with you. If it sees you like this, it’ll definitely be unhappy, right?”

Tuan Zi hugged her. After a while, she whispered, “…A’Yue, my eyes hurt. My throat hurts too. However…”

She shook her head, her voice so low it was almost inaudible. “My heart hurts the most.”

She was tired of crying and really didn’t want to cry anymore, but she couldn’t control herself. Even when she chose to burn herself in the end, it didn’t seem to hurt as much.

Chu Liuyue sighed in her heart and touched her head. It isn’t good for Tuan Zi to remain so sad.

After a moment, she let go of Tuan Zi and gently held her face with both hands. She asked, “Tuan Zi, that’s the choice of Hong Yao. Neither you nor I can make any decisions for it, don’t you think so?”

How could she bear to let Mu Qinghe and Hong Yao, who had accompanied her for so many years, die? However, most of the things in this world weren’t to one’s liking.

If a person never regretted making a choice, then it wasn’t a pity.

Hearing her words, Tuan Zi didn’t speak for a long time.

Actually, it wasn’t that she didn’t understand these principles, but she was really unwilling to accept reality.

However, A’Yue was right. If there was another chance for Mu Qinghe and Hong Yao to choose again, their choices would definitely be the same.

Seeing that Tuan Zi’s brows finally relaxed a little, Chu Liuyue touched her head again. “Tuan Zi is the most obedient. You have to get better as soon as possible.”

Tuan Zi suddenly thought of something and pursed her lips. She clenched her fists tightly. “That’s right! I still have to help Clan Leader Grandpa reconstruct his body! Also, the clansmen of Godly Phoenix Mountain should wake up…”

She was the red-gold heavenly phoenix race’s young mistress and had already opened her ninth meridian. These responsibilities naturally fell on her.

“Ah, there’s also Zi Chen!” As Tuan Zi spoke, she took out a transparent, palm-sized, and reddish-gold ball.

One could vaguely see a purple-gold soul inside. It was Zi Chen, who had already fallen asleep.

“A’Yue, how long will it take for Zi Chen to wake up?”

Chu Liuyue glanced at it and tapped her nose. “Now that your bloodline power has been completely stimulated, it’s the best for Zi Chen. Letting Zi Chen stay with you is similar to letting him stay with me.”

“Then, then…” Tuan Zi scratched her head. “In that case, I’ll have to guard Zi Chen well for the time being?”

Chu Liuyue laughed. “That’s right. Speaking of which, you’ve taken care of him before, so you’re not unfamiliar with him. When he recovers some of his soul power, we can consider reconstructing his body.”

Hearing this, Tuan Zi nodded solemnly. “Yes! I’ll definitely take good care of him!”

Suddenly, she was stunned and looked at Chu Liuyue. “A’Yue, why do you have… three holy forces on you?”

Chu Liuyue was stunned. “What?”
