Love Above All Chapter 185

Bu Qiao didn’t expect Lan Xi to be so angry.

Xiao Gu quickly tried to mediate, saying: "Brother, I told you, Sister Lan Xi doesn’t care about these things. Take back the gift quickly, let’s just drink a few glasses with Sister Lan Xi to thank her for saving our lives."

Lan Xi pinched Xiao Gu’s chubby face and laughed, "You’re indeed the sensible one, my dear."

Bu Qiao had no choice but to take back the gift.

Lan Xi then introduced her apprentice to Bu Qiao and Xiao Gu.

Afterwards, everyone sat under the Starlight Tree and began to drink fine wine.

Until night fell, and the sunset glow faded from the sky.

Stars filled the sky above, and the Starlight Tree shimmered with silvery light.

Bu Qiao and Xiao Gu were both drunk, and Rong Feng and Nie Shu were also tipsy.

Only Lan Xi sat there, gazing into the horizon.

Year after year, the scenery of Caixia Pavilion never grew old.

Palace attendants escorted the drunken guests to their rooms to rest.

Lan Xi held her head; she drank a bit too much tonight and was truly a bit tipsy.

As she got up, she saw a shadow not far ahead of her.

The man’s beauty was unparalleled, his figure cold and lofty, his black robes melding into the night, with three thousand strands of black hair swirling in the night breeze.

"Ah Qing!" Lan Xi rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things again.

Ah Qing had already left her.

He had quietly slipped away, never to return.

She called out, then turned around and walked inside.

Quan Shaoqing stood not far away, watching her forlorn figure, a wave of bitterness rising in his heart.

Had she lost hope in him?

Because her Ah Qing loved her dearly.

And yet he had continually broken her heart.

Had she completely lost faith in him?

"Lan Xi!"

As she was about to enter, he called out to her.

Lan Xi stopped in her tracks, her body trembling at the familiar voice.

"Ah Qing!" She turned around, her gaze meeting his gentle eyes.

Lan Xi rubbed her eyes again, but the person still stood there.

Like in a dream, she rushed forward and embraced the person she had longed for day and night.

Quan Shaoqing no longer hid his feelings, embracing her and burying his head in her neck, greedily breathing in her scent.

"Lan Xi!" He wanted to tell her that he liked her too.

From their first meeting, she had taken root in his memory, unable to be erased.

But when he was about to speak, no words came out.

He had not forgotten his ancestral teachings.

But he also couldn’t control his own heart.

Soon, he heard the shallow breathing of the woman in his arms.

Quan Shaoqing paused for a moment, then carried her into the room of Caixia Pavilion.

He laid her on the bed.

But she clung to his neck, refusing to let go.

He looked at her troubled brows, feeling an indescribable sadness.

He had heard the story of Lan Xi and Shaoqing, and it had deeply moved him.

If what Lan Xi said was true, then Shaoqing must have loved him dearly.

For her, he was willing to give everything.

...

The next day when Lan Xi awoke, she smelled a scent in the room that wasn’t hers.

Though it was faint, she traced the source of the fragrance.

She vaguely remembered dreaming of Ah Qing again last night.

Could it be that Quan Shaoqing had been here?

Lan Xi stealthily went to the Imperial Authority Realm.

She searched everywhere but did not see Quan Shaoqing.

She could only return regretfully, planning to visit him again in a few days.

And so, the days passed peacefully for about a thousand years.

Lan Xi suddenly received news that the Imperial Authority Realm was planning a wedding for Quan Shaoqing.

The news was so sudden that Lan Xi could hardly believe it.

After all, over the past thousand years, her relationship with him had improved significantly.

Although Quan Shaoqing never said it outright, she could sense that he liked her.

Why the sudden marriage, then?

Lan Xi felt impulsive.

She barged into Quan Shaoqing’s room, sealing the door, and asked him in a cool tone as he stood not far from her, "Are you really going to get married?"

"Yes!" Quan Shaoqing appeared very calm.

Lan Xi felt that his indifference was like a hammer pounding on her chest.

She stood there for a long time, unable to utter a single word.

Obviously, this place was no longer suitable for her to stay.

This time, she didn’t return to the Immortal Realm.

Instead, she went to the Mortal World.

She felt that time in the Mortal World passed slowly; she wanted to wait a little longer, perhaps hoping Quan Shaoqing would change his mind.

She was proud, proud in the belief that Ah Qing belonged to her alone.

Even if he were to reincarnate and marry someone else, she would be heartbroken.

But even after living in the Mortal World for a year, Ah Qing did not come searching for her.

When Mi Xi found Lan Xi, she looked at her disheveled state, living in a thatched cottage, her eyes filled with pity.

"Sister, he is just one of Ah Qing’s reincarnations. Perhaps in the next life, he might remember you," Mi Xi comforted.

Lan Xi shook her head, "If in this life he doesn’t love me, then in the next life, he’ll only drift further away."

She didn’t know what to do next.

Should she ruin their wedding?

But she was no longer a child, she couldn’t bring herself to do such petty and futile things.

Furthermore, no one was forcing Quan Shaoqing to marry.

He did it of his own will, so what good would ruining the wedding do?

"To think that Cui Luo, to whom you granted life, would dare to steal your betrothed," Mi Xi said with indignation.

Lan Xi felt that it wasn’t right to blame her casually for this.

Even if she wanted to snatch him away, it depended on whether he wanted to be taken.

Mi Xi stayed with Lan Xi for two days, feeling that the courtyard was too rudimentary.

She had no intention of leaving anytime soon.

Mi Xi said to Lan Xi, "You stay here, I’ll go buy some life necessities. By your looks, it seems you wouldn’t leave until his wedding day."

If they were to calculate time between the heaven and mortal world,

then there were only half a month left until Quan Shaoqing’s wedding, but Lan Xi would have to stay fifteen years in the Mortal World.

As Quan Shaoqing’s wedding day approached, Lan Xi still clung to the Mortal World, showing no intention of moving.

Mi Xi was anxious, not knowing what Lan Xi was thinking.

"Sister, I’ll prepare a wedding dress for you, then you can directly snatch Quan Shaoqing away and marry him in the Goddess Palace," Mi Xi said hurriedly, and left.

Lan Xi curled her lips, thinking Mi Xi’s idea might not be too bad.

After Mi Xi left.

She sat at the courtyard’s entrance, resting her chin on her hand.

While she was lost in thought, Quan Shaoqing’s figure suddenly appeared before her.

Lan Xi immediately walked forward happily, facing Quan Shaoqing, "Ah Qing, did you come to find me because you’ve changed your mind and won’t marry Cui Luo?"

But at that moment, the man standing opposite Lan Xi said nothing, suddenly raising the Heavenly Sword and piercing it through Lan Xi’s chest.

Afterwards, Lan Xi looked up in shock at Quan Shaoqing.

All she saw was his emotionless face as he said, "I’m here to tell you, I will never marry you in this lifetime. Remember this strike, so you can give up."

Quan Shaoqing cruelly withdrew the sword, and blood spurted out.
