Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 271: A Fantasy Dream in the Bamboo Forest
A sect dispute that had been brewing for a long time ended with a result that no one expected. Yun Che didn't know how Su Hengshan would deal with Su Hengyue and his son, as well as the elders and disciples who had always supported him, and he didn't care. After the people from Blackwood Castle left, he took Su Ling'er and left.
This incident also gave Yun Che a general understanding of Su Hengshan's character. Obviously, this is an upright and decent person, with dignity mixed with humility, and a loving heart, but he is not a very good sect leader... because he is not ruthless or decisive enough in his actions. Otherwise, an elder would not be so rampant. Although, at this stage, Su Hengyue is no different from rebelling against the sect, but Yun Che can predict that his handling method will still not be too decisive. After all, Su Hengyue is his elder brother, and he is not just a person. There are many elders behind him who support him.
From what happened today, Yun Che also saw the potential crisis in Taisu Clan.
"Brother Yun Che, you and dad said that I was already... your fiancée. What do you mean by fiancée?" Su Ling'er held Yun Che's hand and asked with dim eyes. She vaguely knew what the word fiancée meant, but she wanted to hear Yun Che's answer from his mouth.
Yun Che smiled and said: "That is to say, when Ling'er grows up, she will marry me as my wife...just like your beautiful sister."
Xia Qingyue glanced at him sideways, with a slightly strange look on her face.
"What do you mean, old lady?" Su Ling'er's lips parted slightly. She was even more confused by this title.
"It's just two words that only I can call Ling'er. After Ling'er becomes my wife, we will always be together, accompany each other, take care of each other, make each other happy, and do all the things we like together..." Yun Che said softly. These words were really simple to say, but at that time, Su Ling'er could not hear them from his mouth until her death.
Su Ling'er's pace suddenly slowed down a lot, as if she was confused by Yun Che's words.
Yun Che lowered his head and asked seriously: "Ling'er, when you grow up, are you willing to be my wife?"
Su Ling'er raised Xuenen's cheek, then nodded vigorously, and smiled sweetly: "Yeah! I like being with brother Yun Che!"
Yun Che held Su Ling'er's little hand tighter, his heart filled with warmth... and a mixture of sourness.
Xia Qingyue finally couldn't remain silent. She turned her beautiful eyes to look at the tender and tender Su Ling'er, guessed her age, frowned slightly and said, "Are you serious?"
Yun Che knew what Xia Qingyue was thinking. Anyone who saw that he was so serious and determined in wanting to take a ten-year-old girl as his wife would have the word "beast" pop up in their hearts. He raised the corner of his mouth and said helplessly: "I am serious...but, I have my reasons. Besides..." Yun Che's expression showed a slight bitterness: "This is just a dream, isn't it? ? Since it is just a dream, let it be... so beautiful that it is unreal. "
"..." Xia Qingyue didn't understand what he was thinking at all, but seeing the seriousness and melancholy in his eyes, she turned her cheek and stopped asking.
"Qingyue, my wife, today..." Yun Che asked cautiously, "Why are you so... um... obedient?"
Xia Qingyue lowered her eyes and said calmly: "The power I have now should originally belong to you. If you want to use it, I will not refuse."
Yun Che was stunned, pinched his nose with his hand, and stopped continuing the topic: "The progress of crossing from the Earth Profound Realm to the King Profound Realm is really scary. But if the span is too big, it may cause The realm is unstable. Qingyue, it would be better if I accompany you back to Qilong Pavilion for a while to avoid any further trouble."
Xia Qingyue nodded: "I can go back by myself. You can play with Ling'er."
Yun Che did not insist, and after telling her to be vigilant enough, he took Su Ling'er and left. After all, he had promised Ling'er before that he would always play with Xia Qingyue after she woke up.
After Yun Che walked away, Xia Qingyue turned around, looked at Yun Che's back, her mind was at a loss, and she said to herself in a daze: "Is it because... we are husband and wife..."
…………………………
"Ling'er, where do you want to go?"
"Hey, being with brother Yun Che will make you feel particularly good. You can go anywhere to play... um... let me think about it! By the way, let's go play in the bamboo forest behind, okay?"
"Bamboo... forest?" These two words touched a certain nerve in Yun Che.
"Yeah! At the foot of the mountain, there is a big bamboo forest. I like the wind in it the most. But dad said that there will be very dangerous mysterious beasts there, so he never lets me go alone, and dad always He is so busy and rarely takes me to play.”
"Bamboo forest... Bamboo forest... Okay, let's go play in the bamboo forest."
South of Taisumen, a large bamboo forest spreads to the foot of the distant mountain, and the rich emerald green fills the entire field of vision. The bamboo branches are dense, and as the bamboo leaves sway, the extremely fresh wind blows continuously, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"Wow! It feels so comfortable!" Standing in the bamboo forest, Su Ling'er closed her eyes, opened her arms, twitched her little nose, and sniffed the fresh smell from the bamboo forest.
The bamboo forest in front of you is not as dense as the one where Yun Che and Su Ling'er lived before, but it is just as green and fresh and pleasant. Just looking at it like this and feeling the wind blowing in your face makes your whole heart feel gentle. of washing. Looking at the bamboo forest and Su Ling'er, Yun Che was a little crazy for a moment... Back then, in such a beautiful bamboo forest, such a beautiful Ling'er, and such a beautiful world between the two of them, why did he see only hatred...
Su Ling'er was always so melancholy, and she kept urging him to let go of her hatred... Maybe, at that time, she had let go of all her past and just wanted to stay with him. Her subsequent depression did not come from her past, but from him...
"Brother Yun Che, this place is beautiful, isn't it?" Su Ling'er said with a smile: "This is my favorite place. Every time I come here, I feel like I have turned into an elf. All the unhappy things I will forget everything, I like everything here... I often think that when I grow up in the future, I must live in a green bamboo forest... Oh! Just thinking about it makes me feel so happy."
Yun Che's heart suddenly shook.
No wonder...no wonder after her master died, she dragged him, who was seriously injured and unconscious, and fled for several days before stopping in that bamboo forest. At that time, he thought that Su Ling'er just thought that the bamboo forest was suitable for hiding... It turned out that she really liked the bamboo forest. She had had a dream about the bamboo forest since she was a child.
In the bamboo forest, her heart can calm down, and she can think that she is an elf... Only in the bamboo forest can she overcome all loneliness, worry, fear, melancholy, and confusion... Day after day Day after day, year after year, forever waiting for his return.
Yun Che clenched his hands tightly, his heart hurt like needles, and guilt filled his soul like a tide. He knew more and more that what he owed Ling'er would take ten lifetimes to repay...
"Ling'er, can we build a home here?" Yun Che said softly.
"Huh? Build a home... here?" Su Ling'er looked surprised.
"Yes!" Yun Che smiled and nodded: "Ling'er has always wanted to live in a bamboo forest, hasn't she? Then we will use the bamboo here to build a small bamboo house. In this way, as long as Ling'er wants to, she can Stay here anytime.”
"Bamboo... house?" Su Ling'er was stunned for a while, and her starry eyes suddenly became extremely bright: "Is it really... okay? But, wouldn't it be a pity to hurt the bamboo here..."
"Haha!" Yun Che laughed. He gently stroked Ling'er's cheek and said lovingly: "There are so many bamboos here, but only a few of them can be lucky enough to become part of the hut. These bamboos If I know that I can build a bamboo house for the cutest Ling'er, I will definitely be very happy."
"Yeah!!" Su Ling'er put aside her worries and shouted extremely happily.
Yun Che stretched out his finger and turned the black matter into a blade. With a sweep of his finger, more than a dozen green bamboos were neatly cut off. Not long after, a large number of thick enough bamboo stems were piled up in front of them. There is also a sufficient open space in the bamboo forest.
With Yun Che's profound strength, this project is not too difficult, but it is not easy either. But with Su Ling'er cheering and cheering beside him, and wiping his sweat from time to time, although Yun Che was sweating profusely, he was not tired at all. Don't feel tired.
The sky gradually darkened, and a simple small bamboo house finally took shape. This small bamboo house was much smaller and rougher than the one he and Su Ling'er had lived in before. It couldn't even provide the most basic shelter from wind and rain, but it had an extraordinarily fresh feeling in its small size, and This is not just a small bamboo house, there is also a small bed and small table made of bamboo inside.
When the bamboo house was taking shape, Yun Che could hear Ling'er's cheering voice filling his ears. She was running happily around the small bamboo house. Her ethereal and sweet voice spread far and wide... It was really like a carefree bamboo forest. Elf-like.
"Brother Yun Che, can we live here today? This was my dream before... And with brother Yun Che accompanying me, I won't be afraid at all."
"Well, okay!"
In the bamboo forest, they played from afternoon until the bright moon hung high. On this day, there were more laughter coming from Ling'er than Yun Che had heard in all those years. This afternoon, the laughter and laughter from Ling'er constituted his entire world. Today, he belongs to Ling'er alone.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and Ling'er, who had been running all afternoon, was finally tired. She and Yun Che lay side by side on the bamboo bed they built together... The bamboo bed was very simple and hard. It would make a "squeak" sound when moved slightly, but lying on it, breathing clear air , smelling the breath of green bamboo, and feeling the wind that comes through the gaps from time to time, both of them are extremely comfortable. Of course, what is more important is the company of the people around them.
"Brother Yun Che, I really want to... be with you forever... Well, if I say this, will it make brother Yun Che feel weird... Obviously, we were only together today, but after seeing Yun Che The first time I saw Brother Che, I liked him so much... Am I a very strange girl? "
The small bed was very narrow. Su Ling'er leaned lightly on Yun Che and whispered.
“No.” Yun Che smiled: “Because it was the same when I saw Ling’er. In a person’s life, it is very rare to have someone that you inexplicably like the first time you see him. If two people have such feelings for each other, then they are either destined to be a couple, or... they have a love connection from a past life.”
