Journey to the End of the Night-Chapter 1398 - 888: You Come

The wind brushes through the wild grass, chills the skin.

As Baili An opened his eyes, a meteor streaked across the azure Milky Way sky. Despite the long night, the horizon above the mountainous wilderness was dazzling. The stars were vast and boundless, clouds drifting in waves, rendering one’s heart exceptionally distant and tranquil.

Baili An felt disoriented for a moment, not knowing where he was, swept by the chill of the mountain wind, an indescribable dampness and coldness enveloped him.

Baili An remained dazed for quite a while, slowly propping himself up, he saw the charming face of a young girl, her pretty little face still bearing an enchanting blush.

Upon awakening, Baili An’s mind was somewhat heavy and dizzy, but as consciousness lingered, he recalled the various dreams of the past two days.

His body felt weak, as if his bones had been stewed softly in a delicate spring rain, utterly lazy to the extreme.

The fire poison absorbed in the Nine Burn Valley had been completely removed, thinking back to the previous days spent playing in the Mortal World with Yin Baishuang, they hadn’t realized how wildly they had played.

Now, fully awake, everything seemed absurdly dreamlike, making one cringe at the thought. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Under Baili An’s gaze, Yin Baishuang’s slender and thin shoulders slightly trembled, then she composed herself as if nothing happened, sitting upright and nodding as she gazed at the distant horizon where a line of morning light was slowly rising.

Watching her cheek stained red on the side, Baili An couldn’t help but blink.

Is this... being shy?

Seeing her in the twilight sky, quietly gazing at the distant peaks beyond, her skin reflecting snow white, her neck gracefully long.

In the golden glow of the sunset, the balmy wind brushed by, her black hair and red clothes, the clear ancient jade at her waist tinkling crisply, exceptionally melodic.

She was so clear and bright, eyes like apricot blossom rain, gentle and elegant, at this moment, she was beautiful as a painting, deeply engraved into the youth’s heart.

She suddenly said while looking at the setting sun’s sinking light: "Little An, I want you to never bump or hurt yourself in the future, with me, you should be well cared for."

How could a well-to-do Crown Prince end up living like a pitiable nobody, even Ying Xiu, that pretentious fake Crown Prince, could live a prosperous life, respected by all.

Yet little An, the rightful Crown Prince, lived in constant fear, already with a heart like a melting furnace, raising himself into a well-served cold object, unloved, uncared for.

To this day, Yin Baishuang couldn’t properly ponder the two hundred years of Baili An’s cold and lonely existence, how on the day he awakened from icy death, he faced a world that had long abandoned him, feeling such desolate loneliness.

Even whenever she thought of that year on Kongcang Mountain, his fear of sunlight, being heavily wounded by the Han Zhi Sword, turned into a hunted dark creature, Yin Baishuang deeply regretted not recognizing him sooner, finding him.

Three years ago, the Chaotic Netherworld Valley incident, how couldn’t it be a heavy blow to her too, the feeling of losing and regaining was immensely joyful and cherished.

No matter how others viewed Baili An, she didn’t care.

She only firmly believed, in her heart, whether now or in the future, Baili An should never live that impoverished life again.

Like a precious treasure, he should be cherished and raised well by her, never to be bullied again.

Baili An saw her little face extremely serious, couldn’t help but laugh, reached out and pinched her cheek, said: "Alright, I’ll have you raised well, but before that, shouldn’t I take you home first?"

Yin Baishuang’s eyes filled with humor, like a docile cat she lowered herself, raising her chin slightly for a caress: "What is this? Is little An feeling that since I’m now yours, you should whisk me away to your home?"

Before Baili An could speak, she tilted her head: "But I don’t quite like your Xijian Sect, a place without warmth.

I don’t want to see Baili Yu’s smelly face, ever since two hundred years ago, I haven’t liked your father.

Little An, let me warn you ahead, just because I like you, don’t think I’ll obediently call Baili Yu father in front of him.

He might be a competent Sword Master, but I’ve never felt he has the qualifications to be a father."

Baili An gently scratched her chin with his finger, chuckling: "The year you accepted the jade I gave, you became my little wife in the Central Netherworld, if I want to take you to Tianxi, then what I gifted was the Tianxi Sword Emblem."

Yin Baishuang immediately turned her face, her eyes suddenly grew bright: "So, you’re planning to introduce me to your mother?"

"She is your mother too."

His eyes, deep and clear, reflected her figure, he said: "As a compensation, the current position of Crown Princess Consort compared to what was promised to you back then is substantially different."

Yin Baishuang’s eyelashes trembled lightly, she raised them to look at him, softly asking: "What’s different?"

Baili An affectionately embraced her, lifting her horizontally, standing tall on the hillside, he looked at her against the light, the thinning clouds broke open, silver rays poured down, he seriously said: "This time, I want you to stand above ten thousand, no one will take you away."

Yin Baishuang was startled for a moment, then raised her brow with a smile, somewhat teasing, she kicked off her little red soft boots, with slender pink jade feet gently rubbing him: "What’s the point of standing above ten thousand? I just want to be able to go wild on little An, that Ning little devil can’t bully you into such a soft weak state, can she?"

Baili An was rubbed by her, his gaze revealed a hint of unusual color, he sat up straight, tugged her ankle, pulling her over, his moist dark eyes were clearly gentle yet exuded an extremely strong feeling.
