Chapter 97: The Childhood Sweethearts (2)
Elâphyllisâs kiss was more serious than at any time before. It wasnât a game. It was a declaration. Even though she knew that her rival was Hua Huo, she wouldnât give up. She was Yun Xiâs most intimate person other than Hua Huo.
She was about the same age as Hua Huo and had a more matured mind. Her appearance and temperament were also not inferior to Hua Huo. However, as a girl of the nobility, she didnât even have any betrothal with anyone. That was a pretty strange thing especially in White Lotus Sword Domain.
As far as Yun Xi knew, the suitors she had refused were ten times more than the people Hua Huo had refused.
âYun Xi, remember, donât give up. I will find some way to help you!â Elâphyllis held Yun Xiâs both hands tightly. She really didnât want to let him go.
Finally, as Yun Xi gazed at her with amazement, she ground her teeth, then determinedly turned around and ran away.
âAh... Gee... What did she mean... Has she known something?â Yun Xi stood beside the stream like a wood pile. He was confused and didnât know what had happened.
...
After leaving Yun Xiâs sight, Elâphyllis had a long walk. Finally, she stopped with an apathetic look. At the same time, her temperament suddenly changed. That was absolutely not some temperament that a daughter of gem store could have.
âPa! Pa! Pa!â One ruby after another dropped down from her dress and fell on the ground, turning into ashes.
âCurse you... Why did I fail?! Hua Huo, youâre really my enemy! Sky Flying Bloodline? Is that the reason that you can have everything wonderful in the world? Iâm the person who loves Yun Xi the best!â Elâphyllis showed undisguised hostility. She slightly showed her another face at this time.
âCalm down, my little girl. You shouldnât privately order Black Obsidian to assassinate Hua Huo. You knew that she was no match for Hua Huo,â An old voice suddenly came from the shadow behind Elâphyllis.
âThen what should I do? She is going to take Yun Xi away! Only Yun Xi, only he... I donât want to let him go!â Elâphyllis bit her handkerchief looking like she was going to break out into weeping.
At first, it was just a simple mission. She only needed to watch Hua Huo. The Sky Flying Bloodline legacy had a bearing on many peopleâs lives. However, as the aristocratic miss of Ten Leaves Alliance, the first time she used her privilege wasnât for the bloodline but for an irrelevant ordinary boy.
âSigh... I will keep this a secret from the alliance, but you should give up on that boy as soon as possible. After all, he is just an ordinary person and you have the Mist Bloodline. He canât hold a candle to you.â
âNo! I donât want it! This is the first time in my life that Iâm so eager for something. Even though my rival is Hua Huo, I wonât give up! Even though he is just an ordinary person, I want him to be my thing! Donât persuade me. Letâs go back to Western Godâs Domain and hold the Great Ritual of Mist Bloodline!â Elâphyllisâs eyes were so firm. She had made the decision, and no one could stop her.
âSigh...â Finally, the old figure in the shadow sighed.
âIf at that time Yun Xi had agreed to marry Elâphyllis, that would be the best solution and nothing would happen after,â the old figure thought in his heart.
As the first successor of the first leaf of Ten Leaves Alliance and the owner of Mist Bloodline, Elâphyllis was so weak at dealing with her love. Perhaps this would become Elâphyllisâs greatest regret in her life.
...
At 2âclock in the morning and on the meadow beside the town.
âYouâre late, brother,â Milei opened her mischievous eyes wide, seeing Yun Xi running to her in a hurry.
She was a twelve-year-old girl. She had golden hair and a pair of purple eyes. Her soft lips were as red as rubies, striking and eye-catching. Her smooth golden hair fell on her slender shoulders like a waterfall, making her look like a princess from a fairy tale.
Yun Xi remembered that her name âMileiâ, was also a goddessâs name in western mythology, and Milei herself was as graceful as her name, having a princess-like temperament.
âSorry, something happened,â Yun Xi was still confused about the last words had Elâphyllis said to him. After all, he had once considered her as his fiancee candidate. If he hadnât awakened his ability as the starchild, after Hua Huo left town he would probably have married her when he was eighteen years old.
âLet me guess. You went to see Elâphyllis, didnât you? Look, these are her jewel powders, let me help you get them off of your clothes. She always uses them to make a mark. If Huo Huo sees them, she will be angry.â
Mileiâs expression of âI have seen through everythingâ made Yun Xi feel pretty embarrassed. She was really a naughty girl, but she was also a considerate girl. This was her advantage and glamour. It was really fun to stay with Milei. She never lacked patience to listen your troubles and comfort you with a smile. Yun Xi often had a dissonant feeling that she didnât look like a twelve year old girl but was more matured.
âWell... in fact... Iâm going to...â Yun Xi said haltingly.
However, before he finished his words, Milei shrugged her shoulders and said what he was going to say, âYou will leave town with Hua Huo. Am I right?â
Why did you know it? Yun Xi was dumbfounded. Why had Milei and Elâphyllis both known about it?!
âHa ha, donât look at me like that. It isnât a surprise to guess that Hua Huo wonât just leave you here,â Milei climbed up the tree branch and gazed at the western horizon. âIn fact, I will also leave here. All these years, Iâve been really happy to have you staying with me. Itâs so fantastic and wonderful, just like a sweet dream. However, no fond dream doesnât have an end, and my dream is going to finish. For the last time, can I call you âbrotherâ again? This is my last hope as your childhood sweetheart.â
âOf course, Milei...â Yun Xi was touched. His childhood sweetheart was still so considerate.
âWell, brother!â Milei jumped down from the tree with a sweet and naughty smile.
Ah, so this was your plan!
Yun Xi softly hugged Mileiâs slender body in his arms. For the first time, Milei behaved so wilful. The girl in his arms was so light. Yun Xi could barely feel her weight.
âThis... really is a nice dream...â Milei whispered and leaned her head on Yun Xiâs chest.
