Chapter 490 Junior Brother, your soul has just stabilized; it is not advisable for you to move aroun
"Bai Yuan!"
He finally spoke, his voice hoarse and weary.
"I will go and fetch some calming and tranquilizing dew. You... take good care of Jinglian."
Before the words were finished…
The person had already transformed into a golden streak of light and flown out of the pavilion.
Inside the pavilion, only the crackling sound of the flickering candlelight remained.
Bai Yuan felt the trembling of the person in his arms gradually subside, leaving only occasional sobs.
He loosened his embrace slightly, but still held her cold wrist.
"Junior brother!"
Bai Yuan's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing something!
"Don't be afraid, your senior brother is here."
Xu Wan raised her tear-filled face.
Those cat-like eyes, which always held a hint of cunning and stubbornness, were now red and swollen.
She looked at Bai Yuan's pale face and the beads of sweat still wet on his forehead, and felt a pang of heartache.
"Senior Brother Baiyuan..."
She murmured, her voice still hoarse.
"Your spiritual power..."
"It doesn't matter."
Bai Yuan interrupted her, forcing a smile.
"As long as you're alright, I'm fine, Senior Brother."
Upon hearing this, Xu Wan's delicate body trembled slightly.
"Cold?"
Bai Yuan immediately took off his purple outer robe and gently draped it over her shoulders.
It has a strong sandalwood and herbal scent.
Xu Wan's eyes lit up when she saw the purple Taoist robe, and she quickly wrapped it tightly around herself.
Next breath...
Her gaze then shifted to the handsome face so close to hers.
Those ever-smiling peach blossom eyes... were now bloodshot, filled with unyielding worry and tenderness.
"Senior Brother Baiyuan, I..."
She opened her mouth, as if to explain something.
But when the words reached his lips, they turned into nothing but confusion.
Suddenly, Xu Wan smiled slyly:
"Hehe, Senior Brother Bai Yuan! I'm wearing a purple Taoist robe too!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan nodded slightly and reassured him:
"Take good care of yourself. Whatever color clothes you want to wear in the future, your senior brother can buy them for you!"
Xu Wan heard this.
He lowered his head silently and began to think about the scene he would see when he returned to the capital.
Was that really a dream?
Why does it feel so real?
That bone-chilling cold!
That desperate cry!
And the excruciating pain of having one's soul torn apart...
"Forget it."
"Whatever was in the dream, I'm awake now."
Xu Wan's tears welled up again.
She grabbed Bai Yuan's hand and pressed her cheek against his palm.
"Senior Brother Bai Yuan, it hurts so much..."
She choked back tears, not only from physical pain, but also from the inexplicable emptiness and throbbing in her heart.
"It hurts so much here..."
Bai Yuan's heart sank.
Of course he knew she was in pain.
Damage to the soul is a hundred times more painful than being slowly sliced to death.
He tightened his arms around her, pulling her back into his embrace, his chin gently resting on the top of her head, his voice as tender as water:
"If it hurts, just cry. Your senior brother will hold you."
"When it gets light, Master's Soul-Soothing Dew will be ready. Drinking it will relieve the pain."
He gently patted her back.
One after another, as if soothing a baby.
Inside the alchemy pavilion, the flickering candlelight elongated the two figures, making them overlap.
I do not know how long it has been.
Xu Wan's crying gradually subsided!
Her breathing became long and even, and she finally fell into a deep sleep in Bai Yuan's arms.
However, her brows were still slightly furrowed, and she was not sleeping soundly.
Bai Yuan didn't move, maintaining the same posture, carefully holding her.
He looked down at her peaceful sleeping face.
Her long eyelashes were still adorned with glistening tears, her face was as pale as paper, and her lips were devoid of any color.
He reached out and gently traced her eyebrows and eyes with his fingertips, his movements as soft as if he were touching fragile glass.
The love and sorrow in his eyes were so intense they almost overflowed.
"Junior brother..."
A flicker of pain flashed in Bai Yuan's eyes.
He knew perfectly well what he was doing!
He's like a ridiculous scavenger!
Picking up the remnants of the love she gave to others!
When she was in pain, he was there for her in pain!
He wiped away her tears when she cried!
When she calls someone's name!
He could only silently stay by her side!
How he wished!
The first person she saw when she opened her eyes was him!
The name she called out was his, and the person she relied on was also him!
But no!
Never!!
Bai Yuan slowly closed his eyes, buried his face in her hair, and took a deep breath.
The delicate fragrance of lotus mixed with the strong smell of blood was his only solace at that moment.
Xu Wan...
He called her name in his heart!
Even if you have the Emperor in your heart!
As long as you're alive!
As long as you're by my side...
I'll be perfectly content.
not to mention……
The Emperor has already promised to entrust you to me!
The night wind slipped in through the cracks in the window frame, causing the candlelight to flicker.
Bai Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze clear and resolute.
He carefully picked Xu Wan up and carried her to the bed in the pavilion, which was covered with a soft brocade quilt.
He gently laid her down, took off his boots, and tucked her in...
then.
He sat cross-legged on the futon beside the bed.
He didn't leave; he just quietly stayed by her side.
The purple robes appeared somewhat dull in the dim light.
His figure was tall and solitary, like a guardian deity, silently protecting his treasures.
The following day, at 5:00 AM to 7:00 AM.
As dawn broke through the window, dappled light and shadow fell on Xu Wan's pale face.
Her eyelashes fluttered slightly as she slowly opened her eyes. A faint herbal scent lingered around her nose, mixed with a hint of elegant sandalwood.
She moved her fingers and found that her hand was being held tightly by a warm, large hand.
Xu Wan turned her head and saw Bai Yuan sitting on the futon by the bed with his eyes closed, seemingly regulating his breathing.
His face was pale, and his purple Taoist robe was wrinkled, clearly indicating that he had not slept all night.
Upon hearing the noise, Bai Yuan immediately opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them:
"Junior brother, are you awake?"
His voice was filled with undisguised concern.
Xu Wan opened her mouth, her throat terribly dry:
"Senior Brother Baiyuan..."
"Don't talk, drink some water first."
Bai Yuan helped her sit up, brought over a cup of warm tea, and carefully fed it to her.
The warm tea slid down her throat, and Xu Wan felt much better.
As she watched Bai Yuan's busy figure, a warm feeling welled up in her heart, but it was also mixed with a strange sense of sadness.
"Senior Brother Baiyuan, where is Master?"
Is he still angry with me?
She looked around but didn't see the Nine Yang Master.
Bai Yuan paused, his eyes flickering:
"Master... has gone to prepare for the morning prayers."
"How could Master be angry with you!"
He didn't tell her.
Last night, Master Jiuyang exhausted a great deal of his vital energy to save her, and he is currently in seclusion to recuperate.
Xu Wan nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
She lifted the quilt to get out of bed, but found her legs were weak and she almost fell.
Bai Yuan reacted quickly and caught her!
"Junior brother, your soul has just stabilized, so it is not advisable for you to move around."
"I am fine."
Xu Wan shook her head and stood firm.
"Senior Brother Baiyuan, I would like to go and pay my respects to Master."
Looking at her stubborn eyes, Bai Yuan knew he couldn't persuade her, so he could only help her and slowly walk out of the alchemy pavilion.
The mountain breeze in the early morning carried a slight chill, and when it brushed against my face, it made me feel much more awake.
The scenery of the Nine Yang Divine Sect remains beautiful, shrouded in morning mist, with birds singing and flowers blooming.
But Xu Wan's heart felt heavy.
"Junior brother, what are you thinking about?"
Bai Yuan noticed her unusual behavior and asked softly.
Xu Wan snapped out of her daze and shook her head:
"It's nothing, Senior Brother Baiyuan, I just feel... a little confused."
Bai Yuan stopped, turned to face her, and looked intently into her eyes:
"Junior brother, no matter what happens, remember that your senior brother will always be on your side."
"How about we take a walk in the plant garden?"
Bai Yuan suddenly suggested.
His eyes were clear and firm, carrying a reassuring power.
Xu Wan looked at him, her heart warmed, and she nodded heavily:
"Okay, Senior Brother Baiyuan."
