Chapter 451 - 451 437 Heart Fluttering

Chapter 451: Chapter 437: Heart Fluttering Chapter 451: Chapter 437: Heart Fluttering She hadn’t noticed Ye Chen’s arrival at all and was the only one in the room. The rustling sound of turning pages was rhythmic in the air.

He asked with a smile, “Hehe, are you planning to stay here all night?”

Yu Yun looked up, surprised, but quickly lowered her head again and said, “I want to skim through it a bit more.”

Ye Chen sat directly on the floor.

“Why did you come here?” asked Yu Yun.

“Wanted to hide for a bit.”

While she continued flipping the pages, Yu Yun asked, “Who are you hiding from?”

“Hiding from myself.”

“Never heard of anyone hiding from themselves.”

Ye Chen laughed and asked, “Have you eaten?”

“Yes, I did.”

“You’re not lying to me, are you?”

“Not lying to you, they really did deliver the food on time.”

Ye Chen indeed saw a basket at a corner. He went over, opened the basket and saw the untouched food. He shouted, “Stop reading, come and eat.”

“I’m fine. I’m not hungry now.”

“Can you just listen to me? What time is it now, and you’re still not hungry. Stop lying, come and eat. I beg you.”

Yu Yun laughed.

“What are you laughing at?”

“Does this me sound reliable to you?”

“Really dependable, beyond my expectations, even more reliable than me. Come on, eat.”

“Alright, let’s eat.” Yu Yun finally got up.

Ye Chen opened the basket and took out the contents, a roast chicken that had become cold. He asked, “Do you want to heat it up first?”

“Just save it. Everyone has been busy for days.” Guo Yuyun had also come over. Knowing that the personnel of the Dragon Slaying Clan was already outside the city gate, he sat down opposite Ye Chen and said, “Keep me company and eat.”

“I’ve eaten.”

“I don’t think you have the appetite to eat much either. I can’t finish all this food by myself. Join me will you? It’s not like you just plan to watch me eat, I’ll lose my appetite too.”

“Sure.” Ye Chen was surprised and asked, “Is this prepared by He Xibai? Why is there also wine.”

Yu Yun chuckled and said, “She probably just got used to it.”

“She wants you to get drunk here.”

“It’s just a small bottle, I didn’t drink much.”

“We can’t drink this soup anymore, it’s congealed.” Ye Chen said.

“There’s tea over there, just bring the teapot over.”

Ye Chen touched the teapot, which was cold, and said, “The tea is cold.”

“It doesn’t matter, just two sips won’t hurt.” Yu Yun grabbed the teapot hungrily.

Ye Chen watched Yu Yun, who was clearly starving, and felt a mix of emotions.

Yu Yun seemed to have noticed his gaze and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Didn’t I tell you to stop looking?”

“Well, if I don’t look, what can I do? I can’t help with what’s going on outside. Like you said, it’s us who started this. If I don’t try my hardest, push myself to look again, I won’t find any peace in myself.”

Ye Chen gave a faint smile upon hearing this, patted her forehead, which she didn’t dodge, and asked, “So, are you really planning to stay here all night?”

“That is indeed the plan. If I really can’t keep myself awake, I assume there’s a chair to rest in for a while.”

“Well, tonight, I will stay here with you and help you look.”

“Absolutely not!” Yu Yun, biting into a stiff bun, knew that he had a big task tomorrow.

“Why not?”

“I’m not battling tomorrow, so staying awake all night is fine. But you can’t, you have to confront the Mutant Winged Dragon with my dad, and Elder Qiao tomorrow. If you also stay awake all night, how will you have the strength to fight the Mutant Winged Dragon tomorrow?”

Ye Chen gave a slight smile.

“Even though I really want you to stay with me, and I really hope this would happen, you have to be more rational. You must, prepare your utmost for tomorrow. Not just for your sake, but for the entire celestial and demon domain.”

“Now you’re the one steering our course.”

“Here, help me with this chicken drumstick.” Seeing Ye Chen turn up so late, Yu Yun probably had an idea about his worries. She said, “You didn’t expect me to still be in this Books and Records Hall, did you?”

Ye Chen took a bite of the chicken drumstick, shook his head and said, “I didn’t.”

“Must be really worried, huh?”

Ye Chen laughed.

“If you weren’t worried, why else would you appear here all alone in the dark of night? So, you must be somewhat at a loss.”

Ye Chen just laughed again.

“Got it right, didn’t I! There’s no need to overthink, we have done everything we could. If it is destined to be that way, it would mean the heavens are being unkind.” Said Yu Yun.

“I’m fine, just felt like taking a walk, that’s why I came.”

“Hehe, taking a walk is good too. Perhaps things aren’t as bad as they seem.”

“I hope so.”

“I’ll keep looking, maybe for a few more days. And you, you need to brace yourself for tomorrow too. Let’s both give our best and not trouble ourselves with the outcomes, okay?”

At that moment, for some unknown reason, Ye Chen felt a strange sensation, as if he had been inexplicably drawn towards her. He didn’t understand why, maybe it was due to her determination.

Which was quite unlike her usual self, his heart was deeply moved.

“What are you staring at me for?”

Ye Chen hastily poured himself a cup of tea, and smiled, “No, nothing. You’re right, let’s both give it our all.”

“I know it’s tough, perhaps you’ve never faced such a moment, a kind of helplessness and pressure you can’t express!” Yu Yun said.

“It feels like nothing was a big deal before, but now that the game has reached this point, it’s as if there’s only one round left, and if I lose, I’m left with nothing!”

“I understand, perhaps, you’ve never suffered such a heavy blow before.”

“That’s not entirely true, the hardest blow for me was in Wasteland City. When I saw Wasteland City engulfed in flames, my heart really ached. It was a kind of hatred, a kind of anger. But now it’s different, I’m scared.”

“You’re afraid that Demon Palace City will become Wasteland City.”

“Maybe so.”

“Don’t think about it anymore, let loose a little, come, let’s have a drink.”

“Alright, I’ll accompany you in drinking, but we can’t drink too much.”

“Just this one bottle of wine, how much can you drink?” Yu Yun said.

“The important thing is that there’s a lot of things to be done tomorrow.”

“Hmm, let’s both drink in moderation. If we have a chance in the future, we’ll have a good, proper drink.”

“Alright, I’ll follow your advice. After defeating the Dragon Slaying Clan, I’ll have a good drink with you, till we’re completely drunk!”

“Aren’t you afraid of losing yourself?”

“If you’re not afraid, why should I be.”

“How has your training been these past few days?”

Ye Chen shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”

“How can you not know.” Guo Yuyun asked in confusion.

“If you’re asking about my training, it feels alright. But what’s most important is whether or not I can face the Mutant Winged Dragon. No matter how well I talk about it, if I can’t do it, what’s the point? And right now, I really don’t know if I can.”

“Judging from what you said, your training seems to be going quite smoothly.”

“I don’t have that much confidence.”

“I believe in you.”

“What good does belief do?” Ye Chen said.

“Have some confidence!”

“Fine, hearing you say that, gives me some confidence.”

Yu Yun listened and smiled faintly.

That night, Ye Chen left the Books and Records Hall very late, but he didn’t ask Yu Yun to stay.

“Let’s go, staying up all night is useless. If you really want to find a solution, come by tomorrow morning, just come a little earlier.”

Yu Yun was pushed out the door by him.

Ye Chen continued, “Without your energy, your attention won’t be concentrated, it’s very hard to find anything, you might as well come over in the morning.”

Yu Yun, already pushed out by him, had no choice but to leave.

“Please be careful tomorrow.” Yu Yun didn’t know what else to say.

It was already midnight.

“Don’t worry, you know, I’m pretty good at escaping danger.”

Yu Yun gave a cold laugh upon hearing this.

“You don’t believe me?”

“I know, but don’t be too stubborn, disregarding everything at that time.”

“Rest assured, I’m not that kind of emotional person.”

“You say you’re calm now, but things could be different under the circumstances. Just like when you saved me, you were quite impulsive.”

“Still thinking about that, huh?”

“No, it’s just an example. That’s why I say, no matter how well you speak now, the situation could be different then, making it easy to make mistakes.”

“No way, there isn’t anyone else who can make me lose my rationality like that.”

“I found that a bit touching, what you just said.”

“Right? You should be touched.”

It was already midnight, and there were hardly anyone walking on the roads, the ones wandering were the night guards.

“If anything happens here tomorrow, leave immediately. Like if a big fire breaks out.” Ye Chen advised.

“Don’t worry, it’s not just me.”

“But fire is unseeing, it doesn’t discriminate when it burns. You need to protect yourself.”

“Hmm, I know.” Yu Yun said.

The night was very quiet, the bright night sky was filled with stars, but no one was in the mood to appreciate the night.

The chirping of the crickets, thin and sparse, thin and sparse…

It was as if they were afraid of the loneliness on the road.

The scent of the peach blossoms at night was even more fragrant than during the day.

“Do peach blossoms bloom at night? Why do I feel its fragrance is even stronger than during the day?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

“I don’t know, maybe…”

A gentle wind blew over, bringing waves after waves of Murraya Exotica scent.

“It seems I can smell the scent of Murraya Exotica.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Yun sniffed deeply, and indeed, she could smell it. She didn’t expect that the scent from the flowers by the artificial mountain could reach here, no wonder it was called Murraya Exotica. She said, “There is a Murraya Exotica tree by the artificial mountain.”

“It seems this flower releases its fragrance at night and blooms during the day.”

The rhythm of the footsteps was very distinct, in the night, exceptionally clear, gradually distancing, the tapping sounds gradually faded, human shadows stretched longer and longer, its clarity fading rapidly.

The wind continued to blow, sweeping past the Peach Grove, leaving a carpet of petals on the ground.
