Heavenly Star Chapter 190 Nobody Have the Rights To Decide For Her Happiness! (Part II)

Ye Wuchen extended out his hand, shook the God of Sword’s ring, two pieces of fruits in the size of fingernails appeared in his palm, the fruits appeared to be crimson, their surface were still emitting flame light, at the same time the heat sensation transmitted outwards. These were naturally impossible to be the Heavenly Fire Dragon Fruits, but just some fruits with the same resemblance that he plucked from the roadside, and using the Wuchen power as their carrier, using a small amount of the element of fire to instill into them, enabling them to emit fire and heat in a short period of time. This was already schemed by him from the beginning.

On two pieces, exactly “saving two persons’ lives”. He believed that even if Long Yin suspected, he will not dare to sacrifice the lives of people to cut it open for inspection.

“This is the Heavenly Fire Dragon Fruit?” said Long Yin surprisingly.

“That’s right. The center of the Heavenly Fire Volcano just happened to have grown only two of these, exactly they could cure Your Majesty and Empress’ poison. I’ve heard my teacher said before, that the Heavenly Fire Dragon Fruit was the brightest and hottest thing in the world, although on their surface the heat was not that high, but inside them contained high and densely compacted elements of fire, when ordinary person consumed them, their internal organs will burn up until they die, but when Your Majesty and the Empress take this, they will interact with the darkest and coldest poison, then completely eliminating the Soul Snatching Cold Poison. The rumor that they can increase the power of fire, was absolutely non-existent.” explained Ye Wuchen, putting the two “Heavenly Fire Dragon Fruit” to Long Yin’s hand, then he solemnly said: “Your Majesty, when you take it, please do not chew it into pieces, moreover it cannot be cut into pieces.”

Long Yin evidently understood, he chuckled and said: “When you cut it open, the fire element will flow out, maybe it will burn up the entire imperial study room. But now one and a half months time had passed, the cold poison might flare up at any time, I will not delay much longer. General Ye, remember to bring Wuchen to claim his rewards, I shall heavily reward your Ye family in front of civil and military officials.”

“Yes.” responded Ye Wei.

“Oh right,” Long Yin who was just about to leave turned around, with a face full of smile he said: “Wuchen, my Huang-er has completely lost her appetite these days as she missed you too much, if you have free time you might need to accompany her for a few days, hahahaha.”

When he turned back, the smile on his face vanished, it became gloomy. Long Huang-er being too excessively attached to him, seemed like it’s not a good thing.

Behind him Ye Wuchen who had clearly saw the slight movement in his ear muscles knew the changes in his expression, secretly snorted coldly.

When Long Yin left, Wang WenShu said concerningly: “Chen-er, you were constantly on the move for such a long time, you must be tired, quickly go and take your rest, mother will immediately prepare you some snacks.”

Ye Wuchen shook his head: “No need, I’m not tired.” His voice paused, staring at her face expression he said: “How is Sister these days?”

Wang WenShu’s face suddenly got frozen, Ye Wei and Ye Nu were similarly with their stiff faces. Even Ye WuYun sadly lowered down his head.

Ye Wuchen’s heart sunk, he stood up with knitted brows and said: “Don’t tell me that something had happened to Sister?”

Ye ShuiYao had left for five days, it may be assumed that she had already arrived at the Gale Nation. During these few days Wang WenShu wasn’t able to sleep peacefully. Now that Ye Wuchen mentioned about it, her nose turned sour, unable to resist the tears that flowed out from her eyes again.

“What had really happened, quickly tell me!” Their facial expressions causing Ye Wuchen to feel uneasy, he knew that, the bad feeling he felt during his way home, had eventually came true. There must be something bad that had happened to Ye ShuiYao…… But this kind of feeling wasn’t something like being injured or life-threatening, what was it?

“You sister, she…… Ayy, will be married off.” Ye Wei heaved out a long sigh.

“Married off……” Ye Wuchen repeated these two words, aloud rumbled resonated in his mind. He rigidly turned his face around, baffled as he asked: “to whom?”

The ripping pain in his heart had told him that, he could not accept this fact.

“The Crown Prince Feng Lingp of the Gale Nation.” replied Ye Wei. Ye Wuchen’s expression right now didn’t make him feel astonished. Before he left home, Ye Wuchen will always go to Ye ShuiYao’s place everyday, everyone will be able to see that, their love for each other as siblings was great.

The Gale…...

Ye Wuchen’s confused mood became very clear all of a sudden, he heavily sit down. The Gale, these name had finally made him understood why.

“The Kui Shui Nation had became an ally of The Gale, the Gale Nation’s new emperor was planning to launch a surprise attack after he ascended to the throne, with us completely caught off guard, blocking off our escape route in the western border, then he assigned Crown Prince Feng to come here and give us the written letter of war…… Feng Ling was being in love at first sight when he saw Yao-er, using this as the condition in exchange for the retreat of their troops and five years of peace treaty, it was being done without any choice…… Ayyy.” Ye Wei briefly explained, yet he saw Ye Wuchen was just motionlessly sitting there. Even if Ye Wei didn’t explain, he had already guessed the general idea.

He was in remorse, regretting why he had unexpectedly left Tian Long City during that period. Or else, he will absolutely not allow such kind of thing to happen. He and the Southern Empire clan’s deal, was not just only for protecting the Ye family. If the Gale Nation would really start the war, in order to protect the Ye family the Southern Empire clan will certainly be involved, when the Gale Nation learned about this deal the most righteous thing that they would be to delay the war for three years. So, even if Ye ShuiYao did not become the bargaining chip, the Gale Nation will not simply attack the Tian Long Nation within three years.

But unexpectedly, aside from him, nobody knew about this deal. And quite unexpectedly, he was not in the Tian Long City during that time. He didn’t even expect that, the Gale Nation would impatiently launch their offending act during that period of time.

“How long was Sister being married off?” A pain spread through his chest, he narrowed his eyes, in a low voice he asked.

“She had already left for five days now, she must have already reached Gale Nation.” Ye Wei looked at Ye Wuchen for a moment, then continued: “Chen-er, we are also sad like you. But…… luckily that Feng Ling was genuine and sincere towards Yao-er, he ought not to make her unhappy. Moreover, this was also Yao-er’s own decision, she sacrificed her own happiness as the bargaining chip, in exchange for the safety of Tian Long City. Ye family will be proud of her, she will also be proud of her own choice.”

“Sister's own choice…… Sister’s own choice……”

Sister,  it this really what you want……

Ye Wuchen stood up, and left absent-mindedly.  Looking at his lonesome figure,  Ye Wei and Ye Nu simultaneously sighed.  But,  they didn't know the clear reason why Ye Wuchen felt sad. 

Ning Xue and Tong Xin were playing in the courtyard, Ye Wuchen went over to hold their hands, with a distracted expression he headed towards the direction of his own courtyard. The two young girls sensed his unusual mood, their mood also went gloomy. Ning Xue anxiously asked: “Brother, what happened to you? Is there anything that makes you unhappy?”

Ye Wuchen’s face was gloomy, upon hearing he shook his head. In the doorway of his small courtyard, he suddenly halted his steps, shifted his direction and went towards Ye ShuiYao’s courtyard.

The courtyard was still as quiet as the usual, the only difference was, during the silence there was also the presence of the cold and lonely atmosphere, because there was something missing. Pushing the room door open, the familiar arrangements appeared before his eyes. Everything here haven’t changed, spotless, somebody must have been cleaning it everyday. On the desk, a thick layer of painting papers were piled up, when she was here, most of her time was spent on painting. Only Ye Wuchen knew that, she was not painting for the sake of painting, but for the sake of her heart.

On the topmost painting paper, the painting was still the most number of lotus flower that she had painted for a period of time before. But, this lotus plant must be originally with twin flowers blooming, but only a single flower blossomed, sad and beautiful, proud and aloof. Ye Wuchen put his hand on this painting, unable to calm his mood for a long period of time.

Pushing the bedroom door open, a light and weak fragrance brushed through, it was the natural fragrance of a woman in Ye ShuiYao’s body which wasn’t completely dispersed yet, so faint, so familiar. Ning Xue was looking at the same empty and lonesome bedroom, she finally asked: “Brother, where is Sister?”

“She was gone.” replied Ye Wuchen.

“Gone? Where did she go?” Ning Xue was grabbing his hand, his expression made her heart seemed like being pressed down by something heavy.

“She had gone to the Gale Nation.” said Ye Wuchen absent-mindedly. Marrying off to that place, implied that she was already part of the Feng family, in this lifetime she will never be able to come back to Ye family.

“The Gale Nation?”

Ye Wuchen’s eyes carefully swept through every corner, on top of the bed that Ye ShuiYao had slept on for more than ten years, two scrolls of painting was silently sitting there. His heart trembled, went over the corner, holding up the two scrolls in his hands.

Spreading out the painting scrolls, these two paintings, were exactly the paintings that Ye Wuchen had made for Ye ShuiYao before. Facing these paintings, Ye ShuiYao’s figure emerged before his eyes, seemed like she was only beside him.

“Sister…… is this your choice?” facing the prettiest woman in the painting, Ye Wuchen softly mumbled.

That graceful glimpse had completely stirred up Feng Ling’s emotions, and the first he saw Ye ShuiYao, Ye Wuchen was also being greatly affected by her. So, during the first time they met he had already spoken so many words to her, afterwards, he grabbed every opportunity to get close to her, during their acquaintance he had used every method to open her sealed off heart. During the transformation of the way she looked at him, he already knew that her was being unconsciously touched by him.

And now, these two paintings that were left behind, implied that she had chosen to forget him.

Why would a short period of one and a half months have such huge transformation? She had chosen to go to the Gale Nation, and chosen to forget him…… only did not choose to wait for him to return home.

Ye Wuchen was depressed as he closed up the two paintings, feeling the agonizing pain in his heart. He had known Ye ShuiYao very well, if she was unwilling, even if the sky had collapsed she will never mind or ask anything. This was her choice, he has no rights to interfere.

“Brother……” Ning Xue’s heart turned sour, her eyes were filled up with thin layer of tears. She leaned on his body, transmitting her own comfort to him.

Beside his hand, was a light red pillow, producing a faint sweet scent, the front side was embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, this embroidery was not that good enough, the needleworks were evidently out of practice and disarrayed, and it looked like it was made not so long time ago. Ye Wuchen involuntarily held this pillow in his hands. He remembered that, when he was about to leave Tian Long City, Ye ShuiYao had just started the embroidery, that day when she was making it, she hurriedly hide it away when she saw him came in.

He carefully turned the pillow to the other side, at the back, was similarly embroidered, in the middle, there was the twin lotus flowers on one stalk, beside the lotus, two words were separately embroidered on it. When he saw those two words, Ye Wuchen was surprised, as if being suddenly waken up by a strike of a lightning.

Two characters, one was Yao, the other was Chen.

Ye Wuchen’s heart started to tremble…… That’s right, she was trying to escape, she was not escaping from her heart, not himself, but the “blood relationship” between them. Because in her heart, he was her own brother, she will consider her feelings as a kind of sin that could not be forgiven, it will destroy her, and also destroy the person who had already opened her heart. She must already became aware of his feelings for her due to his continuous teasing and hinting…… So, she had chosen to quit, forcing this affection between the two of them to be forgotten. She could ignore herself, but she could not afford to destroy her own “brother”.

During his own confusion, how could he forget this obvious reason! Was this the so-called concerned heart becoming easily confused……

His heart was filled with an intense feeling, he stood up from the bed, all at once he carried up Ning Xue in his arms, pulled Tong Xin’s hands, then firmly yelled out: “Let’s go!”

He impatiently walked out of the courtyard, dashing towards the direction of the main gate.

“Chen-er, where are you going, why don’t take some rest.” In the courtyard Wang WenShu saw him run out with a serious face, dragged him back and asked concerningly.

“To the Gale Nation!” he halted his steps, then harshly remarked.

“...... Ah? What are you going to do in the Gale Nation?” Wang WenShu opened her eyes widely, she suspected that she must have heard him wrong.

Ye Wuchen turned his face around, a gloomy and deep gaze swept through Wang WenShu, Ye Wei, and Ye Nu who was looking at his direction, using his voice as solid as the clang of metals, pausing at every word he said: “I will go and snatch Sister back…… nobody have the rights to decide for her happiness!!”
