Miss Fairy, Please Hear Me Out

Tian Yan fell silent.

Xu Yuan had absolutely no intention of coddling her temper.

At the same time, a vast wave of soul intent began to spread from around Xu Yuan’s body.

Seeing this, Tian Yan gave him a cool reminder. “I suggest you calm down. The current you doesn’t have the cultivation you possessed in the illusion.”

Xu Yuan nodded and said in a low voice, “I have no intention of fighting you. I only want to tell you one thing.”

He raised his hand, and in the blink of an eye, a cherry blossom petal, radiating the aura of the Beguiling Divine Sakura, formed in his palm. “You should know very well what this is.”

At the sight of it, Tian Yan’s golden pupils contracted slightly. It was the Beguiling Sakura Dao Essence. Biting her lip, she stared at Xu Yuan, each word forced out one by one. “You... why do you know this?”

Xu Yuan shook his head. “I don’t know. After waking from the illusion, I just did. I probably comprehended it there.”

Tian Yan’s small nose twitched, and she sniffed lightly. “You’re telling me this because you want to prove what?”

Xu Yuan shook his head again. “I’m not trying to threaten you. I only want to tell you one thing, Tian Yan. The two of us can actually speak as equals. At least until the Beguiling Sakura Flower aphrodisiac in your body has completely dissipated, I have the right to speak to you on equal footing.”

If the Beguiling Sakura Dao Essence detonated the Beguiling Sakura Flower aphrodisiac and Heavenly Desire soul poison inside Tian Yan’s body, and with Ran Qingmo and Luo Daofan on his side, Xu Yuan had more than enough capital to go toe-to-toe with her.

Tian Yan was silent for a moment. A glimmer of moisture flashed through her beautiful eyes, and she quickly turned her gaze aside, sniffling again. “What... what are you trying to say?”

Xu Yuan looked at her, his gaze very serious. “You can remember everything from the illusion?”

Tian Yan did not look at him. Her eyes lowered, and she answered softly, “I remember most of it.”

“Why?” Xu Yuan truly did not understand. “Didn’t Wang Yuchu say at the end that the memories from the illusion would fade away like a dream?”

Tian Yan lifted her eyes and glanced at him. “You’re asking when you already know the answer. Because of my Heaven Deriving Soul.”

“Huh?” Xu Yuan blinked. His eyes flickered for a moment before he asked in a low voice, “What’s the Heaven Deriving Soul?”

Tian Yan stared at him.

Seeing the stunned expression on her small face, Xu Yuan instantly understood, more or less. “I remember asking you about that at the end of the illusion, but didn’t you say you didn’t know?”

Tian Yan gritted her teeth. “At that time, I really didn’t know.”

The wind swept through the blooming peach blossoms, stirring Wang Yuchu’s long hair.

After hearing her words, both Xu Yuan and Tian Yan fell into a brief silence.

“Is there any way not to forget?” The young woman clenched her fist slightly.

Wang Yuchu looked at Tian Yan and shook her head with a smile. “No.”

The girl bit the corner of her lip with her small, sharp canine tooth, then reached over and hooked her finger around the man’s hand beside her.

Feeling the touch against his fingertips, Xu Yuan glanced at her and smiled. “What, already reluctant to part? Didn’t you say even if you died, you would never... OUCH!”

Before he could finish, a smooth, pink jade foot had already kicked him hard in the shin.

The girl’s small face flushed faintly, and her golden eyes fixed on him. “Xu Changtian, do you want to die?!”

Xu Yuan grimaced from the pain, but he did not say anything. Instead, he raised his hand and patted the young woman on the head, then gave her a gentle smile. After doing all that, he took a deep breath and turned his eyes toward Wang Yuchu.

“Wang Yuchu... will we really forget?”

“You really will.” Wang Yuchu’s tone was both helpless and serious. “This is a life-and-death illusion. Strictly speaking, all of you should have died here.”

“All of it?” Xu Yuan asked.

“Not all of it. You can think of it as a dream. Once you wake up, you’ll forget the vast majority of it. Only a few things that left an especially deep impression on you will remain.”

After two seconds of silence, Xu Yuan glanced sideways at Tian Yan and asked softly, “Hey, can your Heaven Deriving Soul keep you from forgetting what happened in this illusion?”

Tian Yan was silent for a moment, then gently shook her head. “I don’t know.”

“I see...” With a quiet murmur, Xu Yuan lowered his eyes.

And this time, he stayed silent for a very long while. It seemed like an instant, and yet like eternity. When he raised his eyes again, his expression carried an unreadable smile. It looked almost self-mocking, but beneath it was something firm.

“Hey...” The young woman in the palace dress seemed to realize something, and tightened her grip on his hand.

Xu Yuan did not respond to her. He looked at Wang Yuchu, his voice very calm. “Wang Yuchu, can you promise me one thing? It concerns Tian Yan.”

Wang Yuchu was quiet for a breath, then smiled faintly. “I’m about to dissipate. If it’s something I can do, I will.”

“Good.” Xu Yuan nodded.

Under the gazes of the two women, he spoke in a calm, gentle voice. “Wang Yuchu... let me leave first.”

“What?”

“Let me out first. Keep Tian Yan trapped here in the illusion.”

A trace of surprise flashed through Wang Yuchu’s eyes.

Tian Yan’s beautiful eyes widened at once, filled with utter confusion.

“Xu... Xu Changtian?” For an instant, she could not believe what she had heard. But then realization struck. She flung his hand away and glared at him through gritted teeth. “What do you mean by that?”

Xu Yuan did not look at her. His fist clenched slightly, but his eyes remained calmly fixed on Wang Yuchu. “Can you do it?”

“Tian Yan helped me too.”

“I don’t need you to trap her until she dies. I just need enough time to escape.”

The young woman’s fists were clenched very tightly. Her teeth were gritted, and her breathing had grown a little unsteady. “Xu Changtian, you want to leave me trapped here to die? What... what do you mean? You don’t trust me?”

Xu Yuan glanced sideways at her. “I trust you. But the one I trust is the you inside the illusion. Besides, once we leave, the relationship between us will return to the way it was at the beginning.”

Tian Yan clenched her fists, and a faint mist gradually gathered in her beautiful eyes. “Xu... Xu Changtian... you really are a bastard.”

Xu Yuan did not look at her again. His gaze remained on Wang Yuchu.

After a long silence, Wang Yuchu gently nodded. “I can. But if you attack Tian Yan, I will wake her immediately. She helped me too.”

“Thank you.” Xu Yuan smiled faintly.

Wang Yuchu was silent for a moment. She glanced at the angry Tian Yan beside him, then hesitated before asking, “Do you need me to leave you two some... mhm, some time to say your goodbyes?”

“I do.” She gritted out the words.

“No.” His voice was calm.

...

...

ᯓ➤

At this point, Xu Yuan more or less understood everything. He looked at the young woman before him, his tone somewhat complicated. “Tian Yan, I don’t regret the choice I made back then. Even if I had remembered everything like you do, I still wouldn’t regret it.”

The cold wind blew into the cave, forming a draft with the huge hole blasted through the inner wall, and stirred the girl’s smooth, long, straight black hair.

She stared at him. Her lips moved slightly, then she bit them. “You... you really are a bastard.”

“A bastard?” Xu Yuan murmured the word. Looking at her, he shook his head. “Tian Yan, let me ask you something.”

“What?”

“Even if I did trust you, what could we possibly do?”

Tian Yan said nothing.

Xu Yuan stared at her, each word deliberate. “Can you betray the Heavenwatch Pavilion? Or... do you want me to betray my father?”
