Chapter 1425 - 1425 1411 Not Sleepwalking

Chapter 1425: Chapter 1411: Not Sleepwalking Chapter 1425: Chapter 1411: Not Sleepwalking Qing’er couldn’t help it, although she wanted to restrain herself, the tears were unruly, as if on purpose to lament the world, the emotions hidden deep in her heart turned into tears in an instant. Besides her emotions, there was also moved, wasn’t she? That year when she turned thirteen, on that day, she fell in love with him, and since then, it hadn’t changed despite the passing years.

“Why does the crying get worse and worse?” Ye Chen didn’t understand.

“Can’t you just let me cry for a bit?” Qing’er complained. If it hadn’t been for what happened later that year, if she had been together with him, what would the situation have been like? Could the two of them have happily walked towards their future? Of course, thinking about it now was already meaningless.

Ye Chen’s heart was also surging. How could it not be? She was the first girl he had ever fallen for. True, there was Little Hua before, but she was just a playmate from an innocent time, not really someone he liked. Real affection started with her.

Tonight seemed to be a special arrangement by the heavens, putting the two of them together. Perhaps the heavens knew everything would eventually become a thing of the past, hence a session of remembrance, to avoid regrets.

All the stars in the sky were out.

“You won’t keep crying, will you? You’ll make me want to have a good cry too,” Ye Chen said.

“You want to cry? What about?” Qing’er couldn’t help asking.

“Crying over how I might soon lament a lifetime for a single misstep.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Marrying my sister, and you call it a misstep that would lead to eternal regret.”

Ye Chen hurriedly said, “No, your sister is wonderful, I’m afraid I’m not worthy of her.”

“Of course, you’re not worthy of her. She likes you so much, but do you have even a tenth of her feelings for you?” Qing’er wiped her tears again.

“Right, that’s why I say, if I didn’t agree to be with her, I’d really deserve a lightning strike. After someone has eloped for someone else, how can you doubt her love for you?” Ye Chen still hoped to keep the atmosphere a bit lighter.

This was perhaps the best gift from the heavens for her, surpassing everything, drawing a period to her fantasies.

“Do you think we could have been together if there hadn’t been Su Zhanze?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

“Without him, it wouldn’t even have been possible for us to meet,” Qing’er finally stopped crying, but her nasal voice grew heavier, which is typical after crying.

“Right, without him, we wouldn’t have known each other.”

Guo Yuqing had also thought about it, “We couldn’t end up together, the problem isn’t with others, but with us. I wasn’t as resolute as my sister, so I can’t blame others.”

That made a lot of sense, and Ye Chen said, “Right, if you had the will of your sister, who doesn’t turn back even when hitting the south wall, what couldn’t be achieved?” It seemed useless to mention all this now; he was just curious.

“Have you thought of a way to deal with Longhun?” Qing’er changed the subject.

“How could it be so fast? I just found out that you were surrounded, came here, and managed to rescue you, which was already tough. How could I have thought of a way to deal with Longhun?” Ye Chen said.

“Didn’t you face off against him today? Do you have a way to defeat him?”

“It’s not that easy. Su Zhanze’s martial arts, I don’t know how much he has recovered.”

“Right, you can join hands. That would make it more certain.”

“We’ll have to wait until his martial arts are recovered before we can discuss that.”

“So, does this mean we can only return to Immortal City and plan the final battle with Longhun there?”

“That’s their current plan. It’s safer that way. But whether the Dragon Slaying Clan will let us go back is another matter,” Ye Chen said.

“Right, Longhun also knows your situation today, he knows your level,” Ye Chen added.

“It’s not a secret anymore.”

They finally saw the end of the forest, and suddenly the view brightened. In a corner of a cliff, the moonlight wasn’t blocked; although it was still dark, they could finally see the surroundings clearly.

“It’s just up ahead.” It was past midnight when Ye Chen said, “It looks like we need to eat something and have a good rest before we continue on our way tomorrow.”

Just as expected, there was a cave ahead. They walked in, and Ye Chen put down his clothes and some food he had brought along. He quickly made a fire. Qing’er didn’t wait for the frozen meat to roast and started gobbling it up. It was clear she was famished, which made his heart ache again for her.

Ye Chen moved closer to see how her foot truly was—it was indeed a bit swollen. “Looks like I’ll need to apply some saliva,” he said.

“Hey, can you not be so disgusting?” she said.

“Didn’t I tell you before that saliva can reduce swelling?”

“Hurry up and get me some pine heart,” Guo Yuqing called out.

He hadn’t expected the girl to remember that pine heart could reduce swelling, something he had told her when she was thirteen.

“Alright, I’ll go get it quickly. Drink some water, I’ll be right back,” Ye Chen handed her the water.

“You should eat something before you go.”

“No, I ate on the way here. Eat slowly, no one is competing with you for food.” Ye Chen stood up and added, “Call if you need anything.”

“Got it.”

Ye Chen added more dried wood to the fire before leaving.

Suddenly, Guo Yuqing was left alone, but she wasn’t afraid. She knew Ye Chen was nearby and would be back soon.

Everything quieted down. It was just like six years ago when she fell off a cliff, and nobody knew she was below. In the end, it was he who came for her. She looked and saw a piece of clothing next to the food, likely the scent of the clothing had helped him find her.

It was all so familiar, only the person was not the child from six years ago.

If he hadn’t appeared tonight, she really might have been devoured by those monsters.

She took a couple of sips of water, and the entrance of the cave was quite spacious, with the moonlight slanting in, cold and icy.

It wasn’t long before Ye Chen returned, holding a pheasant in his hand. He said, “I’ll make you a stewed pheasant later.”

“I’m already full, can’t eat anymore, let’s save it for tomorrow morning.”

Ye Chen tossed the unplucked pheasant aside and said, “Alright.” In the corner, he found two rocks of different sizes, as he wanted to find a way to crush the pine nuts.

“I was really worried you’d get caught. It would be troublesome if you did,” Ye Chen said.

“Did you really eat something?”

“I did, how could I let myself go hungry?” Ye Chen said.

Qing’er took off her shoes, tore a palm-width long cloth, all these actions already memorized by heart.

“Quite nimble,” Ye Chen commented as he moved the crushed pine nuts over and deliberately poked her foot.

“Hey, what are you doing? Don’t know it hurts?”

“No, I just couldn’t see it, so I poked to make sure of the exact spot. Otherwise, if I apply it in the wrong place, it’ll be a waste.”

“It’s right there, stop poking,” Qing’er called out.

“Got it.” He was still very serious.

The day he fell down the mountain was when they truly got to know each other. If it weren’t for the incident that night, they would only have been casual friends. It was because of that night that she truly understood this fellow.

“Alright, country bumpkin, don’t tie it so tight, it’s uncomfortable.”

Ye Chen looked up. This girl, she even dared to call him a country bumpkin.

“Look at what? No matter how great you’ve become now, to me, you’ll always be a cowherd boy.” It seemed to cheer her up a bit to say that, and she liked teasing him.

“Fine, as long as you’re happy,” he said, a phrase that seemed to have also been said that night.

“What’s the matter? Think you’ve achieved a bit over the years and you’re high and mighty with me now? How could that be? To me, you’ll always be a cowherd boy.”

Ye Chen poked her fiercely in response.

A slap came his way, and Ye Chen quickly jumped aside.

“Serves you right for the pain.”

He still cared so much about being called a cowherd boy.

“What’s the matter? Can’t I call you that? To me, you are a cowherd boy, and that’s never changed.” But saying that made her shy.

“Fine, want to call me a cowherd boy, then do so.”

“Of course.” Qing’er checked to make sure it wasn’t too tight.

“Don’t provoke me, there’s no one here now to come for you. If you want to leave this place, you’ll have to rely on me. With your condition, it’ll be hard for you to walk out. The Demon Clan guys on Slaughter Island are short of pretty wives.”

“Heh, trying to scare me again.”

Ye Chen found a spot to finally breathe a sigh of relief, took up the water pouch, took a few sips, and said, “I’m not trying to scare you. I’ve been to Slaughter Island, and the women there, their skins are dark and shiny, as if coated with a layer of wax. Search the entire island, and you won’t find one with skin as soft and smooth as yours.”

“That mouth of yours is still the same, always spouting nonsense.”

“Hey, can’t I just try to compliment you and make you happy?”

“I don’t need you to tell me I’m pretty.”

“Right, a beautiful woman who has been married.”

“What did you say? Are you asking for death?”

“No, I said you are still very pretty.”

“Irritated by me being married, aren’t you?”

“How could I be? That just makes you more mature.”

Qing’er glared at him, her eyes nearly popping out.

“Hey, you shouldn’t take it to heart, right?”

“You better handle your own affairs well. I warn you, if my sister isn’t happy, I’m coming for you.”

“Coming for me? Her mood swings like the weather; it changes in an instant. You’ll have to find me often then.”

Still the same thick skin, as if he’s never changed at all.

“Go to sleep early. We have to get up early tomorrow. I don’t know if the Demon Clan will search the mountains, but we must catch up with them as quickly as possible,” Ye Chen said.

Being able to find her tonight was already lucky. If she really had been captured, he seriously wouldn’t have known what to do.

“If it’s cold, cover yourself with your clothes. Don’t worry, I don’t sleepwalk at night.”

Guo Yuqing gave a cold smile.
