Dragon King's Birthday

  His lips, slightly curled up, could be considered a smile. I gazed at him coldly, and by now the wound on his ear had healed, no longer showing the bloody appearance from that day. A circle of black silk thread was wrapped around his chest, with pearls hanging from his neck, suspended in front of his throat, with a faint color, set against the black dragon robe, adorned at the dragon's head, as if it were a pearl born with the dragon! At this point, the dragon energy within him had been brought to its extreme!

  Your value has never been pearls!

  He stepped across the stream, snatched the pale green chrysanthemum from my hand, frowned, "When did you have chrysanthemums here? Or was it brought by Yun Ya?" His eyes gloomily swept over Yun Ya. The latter looked up at the sky helplessly, ignoring him.

  "Bring it here!" He stretched out his hand and snatched the green chrysanthemum from his hand, bringing it to his lips for a light sniff. The scent of the creek water was crisp and refreshing, with a hint of chrysanthemum fragrance, which was so delightful that it made one's heart feel carefree and joyful.

  His eyes slightly raised, he said loudly, "So a person's hobby can also change! Before you only loved jasmine, but now how come you suddenly fell in love with chrysanthemum?" From his tone, it seemed like I had abandoned jasmine and fallen in love with chrysanthemum was a huge, unforgivable sin!

  "I loved Amelie before, it was because of her strong vitality and the fragrance of her flowers. That kind of fragrance is what I love the most!" I said lightly, not knowing if I was saying it to him or to Yun Ya.

  He was taken aback, "If you say that the fragrance of flowers is so deep, you won't like this chrysanthemum after all! If you take victory by fragrance, the Osmanthus in August is even more fragrant and rich!"

  Jin Gui? I and Long Yunya gazed at each other across the stream. That one glance contained too many meanings. He didn't remember that night's events, but I never forgot! In his soft, downy chest hair, a white cloud was hidden, matching his name General Mu Yun (Pastoral Cloud). Now thinking back, everything about him seems to be related to the word "white"! White Dragon King, white hair, white cloud, white clothes and white horse!

  When a person is obsessed with a color, it represents this person's persistence of mind, unparalleled. Falling in love with someone will also never change!

  Long Nuyue likes black as much as he likes white! Never changed! He repeatedly thinks of, repeatedly falls in love with, what kind of feeling is this? Seeing the two of us stunned, Long Nuyue's face turned iron blue with anger, silent for a long time, huffing and puffing while sitting on one side.

  Long Lieya rubbed his nose, cleared his throat and said loudly, "Since today is a fine autumn day with great weather, we brothers rarely get to stay together, why don't we have a barbecue?"

  His lips curled slightly, but his eyes shone brightly, staring at me with a hopeful gaze. I turned to Yun Ya and asked softly, "Barbecue? Can you do it?"

  Yun Ya laughed loudly, "Roasting meat is nothing! I roast it so deliciously!"

  Long Nu's body stood up, across the stream, coldly staring at him with his arms around his chest, gritting his teeth in anger, "Is that so? Half a month later, you will become a roasted white dragon, and I'll be delighted!"

  Yun Ya's face turned slightly pale, but he shouted loudly, "Isn't it too much to be an emperor? You can't even roast meat! Then don't force yourself! Han Mei! I'll roast some for you to eat!"

  "He burst into a furious roar, 'How dare you! She is my military wife! My queen! The mother of my child! How can you compete with me for the Dragon Mother? Are you crazy?! I'll kill you!' He said, and then he was about to draw out the Thunderbolt from his waist."

  I let out a light cough, "You like to fight, then go outside and fight! Otherwise, either be harmonious and eat barbecue together, or settle it with a fight! There are still fifteen days left, can't you get along well?" I shook my head in anger.

  His movements stopped, and he slowly put away his sword. In a loud and urgent tone, he said, "You really like roasted meat, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll roast some for you to eat every day!" After speaking, he let Tan Hua go out to pass on the message, asking someone to bring over some roasting tools. He alone moved my roasting pan, moving it away from the creek water a bit further, "Now that the weather is cold, if you were to fall into the water, it wouldn't be good!"

  He looks like an impatient child!

  He and several others acted together, quickly picking up branches. Yun Ya was about to step over, but was loudly stopped by Long Nu Ya. "I let you roast meat together, I didn't say you could cross that small stream!" he said loudly.

  "Otherwise, how are we going to roast it!" Yun Ya shouted loudly and helplessly, "Why don't you come over here instead!

  He shook his head, "I won't leave Hanmei alone in this place!"

  Yun Ya helplessly threw up his hands and loudly scolded, "What are you going to do then? How can we roast the meat like this?"

  "Then I'd rather not eat! Saves me the trouble!" I said indifferently.

  "He exclaimed loudly, 'What! Of course we'll eat! Why not just set up the fire on the brook? The two of us can roast meat across the stream, how's that?'"

  I didn't say a word, just curled up the corner of my lips, which was considered an agreement. Yun Ya and Long Lie Ya could only nod helplessly, and they set up the branches across the small stream, lit a fire on the water, at this time, Dan Ju brought many raw meat, and they strung the meat together, surrounding the creek to roast it.

  The scent of roasted meat wafted over, and I couldn't help but furrow my brow. Such a beautiful scene was ruined by those few people! Danju stood beside me, attending to me with a long sigh. "Your Majesty is probably the happiest empress in this cold palace! The emperor and the princes all revolve around you, and Danju has never seen the emperor get along so harmoniously with the fifth prince! Everything is because of Your Majesty!"

  I remain silent, gazing blankly at the sky. Thinking of that day when the bright crystal powder fell from the sky, my heart can't help but feel a slight pang of sourness. Because I no longer have his dragon energy to protect me, recently, I've been hearing some things I shouldn't be hearing. If it weren't for him having locked my soul with the lock on my ankle, I reckon I would have left long ago!

  The women of the Ye family never believed in ghosts and gods, but I was an exception. I'm a seer, able to see things that others can't. It's terrifying, and I often hide at home, afraid to go out. But I listened to what Old Man Tianji said!

  Morning star, have you gone far now?

  A piece of roasted chicken appeared in front of him, and Long Nu's hoarse voice hastily said, "Come on! It's just been roasted! Taste the flavor!"

  He cast a glance at me, but his eyes were on Yun Ya. Yun Ya's meat was already well-done too. Seeing me looking at him, he exclaimed loudly, "Look! I'm done too!" After that, he stood up and tried to jump over the stream.

  With a loud roar, he sprang to his feet and shouted, "Dare to come over and try! I'll cut off your dog legs!"

  Long Yunya, however, insisted on coming over. Seeing the two of them about to fight again, I let out a helpless sigh and calmly said, "Let's go back inside, Danju! Otherwise, we'll have to end things with another fight!"

  The two of them immediately stopped at the same time, Long Nuyue said, "Don't go! Yunyue! You stretch out your arm a bit longer, and Hanmei will naturally be able to eat it!"

  Long Yunya responded with a sound, and only then did he withdraw his leg. He really stretched out the roasted meat towards me, Long Nuyue's eyes narrowed slightly, and also followed suit by stretching out the roasted meat. In this push-and-pull manner, the two pieces of roasted meat suddenly fell off the branch and dropped to the ground. Long Nuyue's eyes were bright and his hands were quick, he stretched out his palm to grab them, but unexpectedly, he didn't catch the meat, instead, he slapped it into the creek!

  Long Lieya rubbed his nose and said loudly, "I didn't know you two had gotten so close! Even the roasted meat has eloped together! In that case, there's no need to fight over it, mine is better! Eat mine!" He said, then handed over the roasted meat in his hand, I reached out to take a bite.

  The two of them looked unwell and said in unison, "Who's close to him?!" Then they each turned their heads to one side and lowered their heads to focus on roasting meat.

  A mouthful of roasted meat between the lips, fragrant and tender. I couldn't help but exclaim, "So it turns out that Lie Yan Wang Ye's culinary skills are also this good! The meat is roasted to perfection, so fine and tender!"

  He laughed, "Really? In this case, there's no way out, I'll just have to accept it graciously, haha!"

  The two of them were silent, like a pair of children fighting over toys, but silently grilling meat, their eyes occasionally scanning each other.

  Dān jú jiàn zhe tā liǎng rén rúcǐ, biàn zhī hǎo yǎn le zuǐ tōu xiào. tiāo méi, chún jiǎo què lüè lüè diào xià, zhè bān de rìzi, bù huì cháng le! nà bān hái zi qì, nà bān měi hǎo de shī xiōng, biàn yào dà qù le!

  Sighing softly, gazing at the gently flowing stream, only a few fallen leaves and flower petals floated down. Tugging at the corners of my mouth, I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in my heart. These days, waiting for the falling flowers had become a habit!

  The roasted meat of Long Nü's dragon was done, and a full plate was served. It was placed in front of me, and I held it with both hands, eating mouthful by mouthful, but couldn't help thinking of what he had said: Roasted Dragon Meat!

  It turned out that it was going to be burned by fierce flames? His eyes involuntarily turned towards Long Yunjia, and his heart was filled with a faint sense of despair. Such beauty, such snow-white purity, would now be forever lost! He would be burned by the fierce flames for the Golden Dragon God!

  Why just burn him alone! I sighed faintly. The corners of my lips drooped slightly. It's actually so unbearable to eat now.

  Long Lie Yan said loudly, "Does the princess want to eat some fruit? Ah! Now is the time for plenty of fruit! You stay in the house every day and don't go out, so you can't eat anything hot. Dian Ju, bring out some pears that clear heat for the princess!"

  Dān jú yìng le shēng, màn màn de tuì le xià qù.

  Translation:

  Daiyu nodded and slowly backed away.

  He couldn't help but glance at Long Lieyao, his thoughts were strange, I didn't say anything, but he seemed to know what I was thinking, and always intentionally or unintentionally made use of Tan Hua, putting everything on her. Such a clever mind, it's no wonder that he can control the country's economy while also mastering such profound medical skills!

  He forced a faint smile on me, blinked slightly, and said loudly, "Ah! Today hasn't changed the medicine for Jun Fei's wife yet!"

  Long Nu Ya almost jumped up, loudly and urgently saying, "You're going to change her medicine again? What are you thinking!"

  He raised his hands high and laughed, "I'm just following someone's orders. If she ends up with a single scar on her body, I'll be in big trouble! It's an imperial decree, can't disobey!"

  His face suddenly turned bright red, and after a long while, he said loudly, "Let me come today!"

  I raised an eyebrow and said in a hoarse voice, "Then there's no need to change the medicine! The king is a doctor! Who are you!"

  "He loudly and angrily said, 'He is a doctor, he can examine your body, but I am your husband! Examining your body is even more natural!' After that, he picked me up along with the chair and carried me into the room."

  Through his shoulder, I saw Yun Ya's pale face. His eyes were gazing at the creek water with a hint of helplessness. Long Lie Ya silently patted his shoulder.

  He put me on the bed, unbuttoned my clothes, and gently wiped me with his large hands that seemed to be carrying flames, wherever he touched, it was as if they had caught fire. His hand pressed tightly against my chest, his lips came down, and sucked on my neck.

  I furrowed my brow, staring at him coldly and motionless. He seemed to sense my indifference, his lips curling up as he pressed against my slightly cold lips. He stirred inside my mouth, I opened my eyes, staring coldly at his enlarged face.

  After a while, he seemed to feel my icy gaze and suddenly pushed me away, shouting "You! You!" His eyes were filled with frustration and unexpectedly, so heartbroken.

  "I'm having you, Prince, apply medicine to me for this very reason!" I said extremely calmly.

  He panted heavily, "Has he ever been unfaithful to you?"

  "You have no idea how doctors treat patients! To doctors, patients are just patients! Which doctor would have such fantasies about a patient? And that patient, not long ago, was so badly injured that even gods would feel nauseous!"

  He didn't speak, remaining silent for a long time before finally saying in a hoarse and defeated tone, "You can have Tan Hua change the dressing for you!"

  I shook my head firmly, "No! When applying medicine, I won't even look! Even when taking a bath, I'll wash myself!"

  He furrowed his brow in puzzlement and said softly, "What's wrong? Is she not doing a good job? Do you want me to send another palace maid over?"

  I shook my head again, covered myself with clothes, and said in a hoarse voice, "She did a great job! Thank you for the emperor's kindness! Hanmei understands!"

  He stared at me suspiciously and said in a low voice, "With your body like this, you should have someone reliable by your side! I'm not at ease!"

  I didn't say a word, just staring blankly at the beam. He saw that I wasn't speaking and could only slowly back out, letting out a long sigh.

  Then Long Lie Yan walked in, "He's very disappointed!" He slowly spat out these four words.

  I furrowed my brow and said in a low voice, "What about me?!"

  "If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have become a doctor. At least, I wouldn't be stuck between you two!" He said, then took out the medicine and whispered, "This is an internal medicine, I made it into a pill, just swallow it as is! Anyway, you've been eating quite a bit during this time!"

  "How's the matter I entrusted to you, Prince Wang?" I had no objection and swallowed the medicine as instructed.

  He shook his head, "Qiu Moshi has already been sent out of the palace, and Yu Feng is also at my residence. He was originally the son of the Dragon Emperor, why do you insist on sending him to my residence? I don't think Nu Ya would really do anything to him!"

  "Coldly smiling, he said indifferently, 'No! Yufeng is just a foster child in your place, after four years, I will personally take him away! In the palace, he doesn't get along with people, so let me take him away!"

  He looked at me for a long time, then let out a long sigh and examined my leg injury. In a hoarse voice, he said, "Your leg has been treated, if you're lucky, in another month you can try practicing walking!" Which means I'm not lucky! My leg is hung with a hundred-pound lock, and the tendons are broken, how can I possibly practice walking again?

  He saw that I didn't speak, so he gently shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll tell Nu Jia to change the lock on your leg to a smaller one!"

  "Your Majesty manages the country's economy, Hanmei has nothing valuable on her body, but she has a box of night pearls. If Your Majesty doesn't reject it, I'll help Hanmei keep it safe! To use as living expenses for Xiaoyu's jade wind, is that okay?" I said in a low voice.

  He shook his head, then shook it again. After a while, he said, "Yufeng is my nephew and also the royal bloodline of the Shenlong tribe. How can I not take care of him? However, if you have the Night Pearl, I'll invest in your business, buying low and selling high. In four years, I believe it will be a considerable fortune!"

  I smiled faintly and handed him a pillow that I had kept for a long time. "Take a look, Your Highness will understand!"

  He smiled faintly, then tore open the pillow, and saw that it was emitting a radiant glow. He chuckled slightly, put the night pearl into the medicine box, "So, Lie Ya left!" After speaking, he turned around and left.

  Long Lieya was a man of his word, and on the second day, he sent someone to change the large lock on my leg. Since then, Danju's eyebrows had never relaxed!

  From that day on, Long Nuyue often appeared in front of me, arguing with Long Yunque across a small stream. The autumn frost grew heavier and heavier, and only chrysanthemums floated down the stream, as if all the other flowers had already bloomed and only these were left behind.

  The Dragon King's birthday is approaching, and my mood is getting worse. Every time I see him, from the initial cold ridicule to later turning my head away! At a time when I should be having a romantic conversation with Long Yunze, he is stubbornly standing in the way!

  I even saw Yun Ya's desperate eyes! I and these two people, this life, can only be like this, it seems.

  At this time, I couldn't help but resent Long Nuyue! As the days drew near, I became increasingly irritable, and at worst, my nosebleeds flowed freely. Gradually, I also lost my appetite and couldn't sleep well. In the end, I was so exhausted that I couldn't take it anymore.

  In Yun Ya's eyes, a sense of despair gradually emerged. Long Nu Ya, however, did not relax at all and kept staring at us two. I didn't even have the chance to talk to him!

  "Go ahead! Tomorrow is the birthday of the Dragon King! Let me talk to Shifu!" I said in a low voice.

  He shook his head firmly, holding me tightly in his arms. "I won't! I'm afraid that if I let go, it will be forever! Even if I die, I won't give you the chance to be with him!" His words were so resolute!

  I looked up, a faint smile spreading across my lips. "So, on the Dragon King's birthday, you can give me to him as a gift! This isn't working out anyway!"

  His face turned pale, he violently shook his head and said in a scorching tone of compromise, "You! No matter what, I'll stay outside the house, you two can't overstep!"

  I nodded and hoarsely promised, "With our legs locked like this, even if the two of us wanted to get off track, it would be extremely difficult!"

  He thought for a moment, seemingly accepting my explanation, and slowly backed out.

  Long Yunya finally walked over, standing in front of me. I stretched out my hands and wrapped them around his waist. He stiffened all over, his voice hoarse as he said, "How did you lose so much weight during this time? And I can only watch you get thinner, sorry! Hanmei!"

  I shook my head and said in a low voice, "How can this be blamed on you, Brother!"

  He knelt down and tightly hugged me, choking with sobs, "I don't want to leave you!"

  "My tears fall like this, softly saying, 'Then take me away! Escape from Jiang Guo!'"

  His shoulders were stained with warm moisture, and he whispered, "I can't! I won't leave! Sorry, Hanmei!" After that, he took off a pearl from his ear and put it between my lips. He said emotionally, "Do you know what I hate most in this life? It's why the pearl of Nujiang entered your belly instead of mine! Instead of mine!" At this point, his tears fell down.

  "My greatest regret in this life is that on that day, at the edge of the sky and the end of the earth, I let go of your hand! Letting go of you was letting go of everything!" His voice drifted over from afar. My tears could no longer be held back, like a string of pearls with a broken thread, falling down in succession!

  "Senior brother! I really want to leave with you!" I said sincerely.

  His whole body shook violently, and he said in a hoarse voice, "No! You can't die! Otherwise, wouldn't my death be worthless? Don't die! I want you to live!"

  Feeling his trembling, I whispered, "Yes! I understand, Shixiong!"

  Gently stroking my hair, "I thought your hair was like the Milky Way! It's said that husband and wife resemble each other, but it turns out we two look more alike now! Look, Cold Plum! Our hair, placed together, how can you still tell whose is whose?" He intertwined his white hair with mine, saying in a low voice.

  The white hair at the temples looks like a silver waterfall! A sense of despair slowly rises in my heart! "Husband and wife, how are you?"

  He nodded, took out a pair of scissors, cut off a bunch, tied it with a red string, and handed it to me.

  Tomorrow, when I'm engulfed in flames and my entire body is reduced to ashes, only this one thing will remain in this world, accompanying you!

  I held his silky white hair in my hand and couldn't help but burst into tears. "No! Yun Ya! You can't go!"

  "Go far, far away!"

  He curled up the corner of his lips and said calmly, "Hansheng, you probably want to know why I ended up hating Nuyue so much. Well, let me tell you, when we were young, our relationship was actually very good! One year, Binglan sent over a piece of sweet soft cake for Nuyue to eat. But the person delivering it ran into me, and I saw that the cake smelled really good, so I ate it! After that, I don't know what happened, but Nuyue started targeting me in everything! The resentment just got deeper and deeper! Looking back now, it's actually quite laughable - all because of a piece of soft cake, my brother and I ended up like this!"

  "Who said so! She obviously gave ten yuan! You alone swallowed it!" Long Nuyue shouted loudly.

  I furrowed my brow, was this the reason why these two had been sworn enemies? Could it be that simple?

  "Can't you keep quiet!" I exclaimed loudly.

  He stared blankly for a moment before saying in a low voice, "If you're not going to talk, then don't! You two hurry up!"

  A cruel smile spread across my lips as I said loudly, "Faster? Then Yun Ya will stay here tonight!"

  He was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't say anything else.

  "You two and your little affair, it's really laughable!" I couldn't help but say.

  He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, his lips pressed against mine! From this point on, it was impossible to stop. Passionate kisses, desperate kisses, the two of us, no longer had tomorrow!

  After a while, he whispered, "Let's make a promise, in our next life, we'll be husband and wife, okay?"

  I nodded slightly, a helpless smile spreading across my lips, "Alright! Big brother! Alright!"

  Long Nü was getting impatient, kicking the stones, flowers, grass and trees outside the door. The sound of crashing and banging was endless, reminding Yun Nü that it was time to leave!

  He slowly stood up, walked to the door, and bid farewell? Farewell? My heart was burning. Suddenly he stopped, spun around quickly, rushed towards me, and wrapped me in his arms, bursting into loud sobs! My tears burst forth at that moment!

  He just let me quietly, emotionally hold him. After a while, he slowly got up, pushed me away, and resolutely walked out the door!

  I stretched out my hand in the direction he left, and I cried until my heart was torn apart! It turned out that my heart still hurts! Still hurts!

  Long Nu Jia rushed in, embracing me tightly with one arm and patting me gently. I grasped his clothes and cried out loudly, "Let him go! Save him! You're the Emperor, you must have a way! Don't you? You must have a way!"

  He slowly and firmly shook his head, "But I can't!"

  I pounded his chest with all my might and shouted loudly, "So be it! He's gone, and I'll never speak another word to you again!"

  He slowly closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Then, there's no way!" After that, he slowly walked out!

  In one night, the scorching emotions almost knocked me down. By the second day, I sat in the courtyard, the sky was gloomy, and suddenly I felt a burning sensation in my chest. It was as if my abdomen was being scorched by fire! Danju's eyes were very red, and Longnuyue and Longlieyue didn't come either! Until late at night, a burst of flames suddenly erupted from the direction of Feilong Tower! For a moment, I was stunned on the spot!

  "White Dragon King, ascended to heaven!" Dan Ju said in a low voice. After speaking, she covered her face with both hands and knelt down on the ground, wailing!

  How is this possible?! Eldest brother! How is this possible?! I stared blankly at the flames. Slowly, I pulled out that strand of white hair from my bosom and gazed at it steadily. He said he would be incinerated by heavenly fire, and when that time came, everything he had would become a thing of the past! Everything would be destroyed! But he gave me a lock of his hair!

  Until loud wails echoed both inside and outside the palace, I suddenly realized that he had really passed away! He was gone just like that! I hadn't even had a chance to tell him, I hadn't even had a chance to say to him, "I love you", and yet he was gone just like that! I was shocked, my eyes wide open, gasping for breath.

  That soaring flame, is that what they call heavenly fire? Is it, is it! I couldn't catch my breath, and I tightly grasped the hair in my hand, shouting loudly, "How can this be possible! How can this be possible! Take me there! I want to see! How could he possibly be dead! He was still alive yesterday! Yesterday, he even kissed me! Even hugged me! And had a fierce argument with Long Nu Xia!"

  Pale chrysanthemum stood by, wiping away tears, but only lowered her head and remained silent. I shouted loudly, my heart aching as if being strangled. "Don't cry! He's clearly not dead, what are you crying about!"

  "His Highness Wang has really ascended to heaven! Your Ladyship!" she exclaimed loudly, and then cried even louder.

  "I don't believe it! It's impossible! Anyone can die! He can't be the one!" I shouted urgently.

  Danhua shook her head firmly, opened the palace gate and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty! Look! Listen. The crying sounds in this palace! The White Dragon King is really gone!"

  I didn't say a word, and with great effort, I moved my body, but it suddenly fell to the ground with a thud. Danju shouted loudly, "Your Majesty! What are you doing!"

  I glared at her fiercely, "I say, I don't believe it! Only when I see it with my own eyes will I believe!" After that, I used my ten fingers to claw the muddy ground and dragged the heavy iron chain, crawling slowly like this all the way.

  "Your Ladyship, how can this be! Your Ladyship!" exclaimed Dà Jú in a loud and urgent tone.

  I didn't speak, my fingertips had already started bleeding, but I still didn't give up, with a determined heart, I crawled out to see if the Flying Dragon Tower was really as she said, where the heavenly fire would burn the clouds and sky!

  Danhua saw me like this, and let out a long sigh. After a while, as if she had made up her mind, she picked me up from the ground with one hand. My face was pale, "Danhua! Put me down!"

  She shook her head firmly, "I won't let you go!"

  "Let me go! Release me, Danchun!" I struggled with all my might, but couldn't break free from her grasp. It turned out that after losing my skills, I had become so weak!

  "Although I know it will be painful if I go, Mother, don't make me go!" Danju said with a heartache.

  I stretched out my hand, turned it over and slapped her with a loud shout, "I said I want to go to Feilong Tower! Did you hear me?"

  The tears of the pale chrysanthemum flowed continuously, her voice hoarse, her eyes red, as she said faintly, "He is that important to you in your heart, so important that you can hit me for him?" Her voice was filled with sadness and despair! "Your Majesty, how could you treat me like this!"

  I clenched my face, suppressing the urge to vomit, and exclaimed loudly and anxiously, "Just one more look! I just need to take another look!"

  Danhua put me on the kang, knelt down and wailed loudly, "Danhua was just afraid that you would be heartbroken!"

  I burst out laughing, "Heartbroken? You say heartbroken? Who designed me to be so heartbroken?"

  Dān Jú? You designed the Jade Wind to dye the heavenly flowers, deceiving me into climbing the Flying Dragon Tower with Yún Jiāo to seek pearls. You took my Broken Sword Dragon Thunder to convey messages to Lóng Nù Jiāo, but he didn't know! The pearl-seeking was successful, but the Flying Dragon Tower collapsed! Thus, I and Yún Jiāo became the culprits of the Flying Dragon Tower! You harmed me like this, treated me like this, now you tell me that you were just afraid I'd be heartbroken? Haha! Hahaha! Dān Jú!

  Pale Chrysanthemum! You name yourself Pale as a Chrysanthemum, but in your heart you are made of ice, aren't you?

  She slowly stood up and coldly said, "So you already knew! But why didn't you say anything!"

  "Sneer, 'Why? I just want you to suffer! Standing by my side, yet unable to express your love for me. Standing by my side, yet only able to watch as I get intimate with Yun Ruo and Long Lie Yao. Even if Long Lie Yao were to change the dressing on my wound, I wouldn't want you to do it! These past few days, doesn't your heart ache, Bing Lan?'"
