Chapter 228: A Familiar Figure (4)
Upon hearing Luo Li’s words, the youth walking in front of her paused and turned his head. His clear pupils were calm as he gazed at the person following behind him.
Luo Li was a little stunned silly. She stared at the youth’s handsome face, and a tender and loving expression appeared on her own small, delicate face in an instant. However, she pouted as she said, “Yu-gege, I’m only worrying about Uncle Xia’s illness. Uncle Xia is the young master of the Xia Family; if anything happens to him, the Xia Family will surely descend into chaos. The matter of finding the Godly Doctor for Uncle Xia is more important.”
This youth looked to be about fifteen years old or so, and his appearance was extremely delicate. His features were as exquisite and flawless as fine porcelain, his eyes were clear and limpid, so bright that anyone who gazed upon them would surely feel their heart skip a beat.
“I’m going to Azure Dragon Country to look for someone. No one else, other than this person, will be able to cure Father. If you want to follow me, then don’t talk too much. Otherwise, I’ll send you back to the Luo Family immediately.”
When he recalled the words he had heard on the street just now, he got excited for some reason.
He slowly took in a deep breath and calmed his turbulent emotions.
Azure Dragon Country, Hundred Herb Hall, Gu Ruoyun…
Jiejie, is that you?
The personality of that girl called Gu Ruoyun changed so much after she woke up and she started showing off her abilities. I changed in the same way and at the same time. I can’t think of any reason that would happen if it wasn’t you in there.
I really can’t think of anyone else who would have such exceptional abilities, who could grow so powerful in just four short years…
Jiejie, in our past lives, you suffered so much for my sake. This time, if I can find you in my current life, then let me protect you for the rest of your life!
If anyone dares to hurt a single hair on you, I’ll make sure they won’t have any peace!
……
On the streets, Gu Ruoyun had just been happily chatting with Pang Ran when her eyes were drawn to something. There was a slender figure in front of her, and for some reason, she couldn’t take her eyes off of him. She stared intensely at him for a moment more, and in that instant, it felt like her heart leaped into her throat as an uncertain hope filled her chest in its place.
“Goddess, what happened?”
When Pang Ran noticed Gu Ruoyun’s sudden change, he found it strange and scratched his head in puzzlement. However, Gu Ruoyun didn’t answer him and simply sprinted towards the front with haste. Right then and there, even the normally oblivious Pang Ran behind her could sense the tension in her body… and excitement?
What had she seen to make her display such a change, when she had always been so calm and unflappable?
“Hyaa!”
Just as Gu Ruoyun was about to catch up to that figure, a luxurious carriage sped past on the street; the dust that was blown up blanketed Gu Ruoyun’s line of sight.
……
“Luo Li, I’m leaving.”
The youth hadn’t detected the movement behind him at all. A smile grew in his limpid eyes as he said: “If you can keep up, then follow me.”
After he finished speaking, the youth leaped into the air and his slender body turned into a rush of wind, speeding towards the city gates.
At that moment, the only thought in his mind was to get to Azure Dragon Country as fast as he could, to see that person he was longing for just a moment sooner… To tell her that he was still living, and had even gathered the power to protect her.
However, he couldn’t have imagined that the person he had been missing in his heart would actually be just a few meters behind him, and that they were separated by just a single carriage…
……
The carriage charged across right in front of Gu Ruoyun, separating the two. When Gu Ruoyun finally leaped over it, the youth’s figure had already disappeared from the crowd of people. However, she could never mistake that figure! That was Yu’er!
“He’s still alive, he’s really still alive…”
Xia Linyu, her only brother. He had been completely disregarded by that bastard Xia Ming since he was young, because his body was too weak to cultivate. Finally, he had been sentenced to death by that cold man! The scene that day was still fresh in her mind’s eye, and just thinking about it made her feel like her heart was being torn apart! She hadn’t expected that she wasn’t the only one to have transmigrated… and this meant that her brother was still alive!
While thinking, Gu Ruoyun’s stirred up emotions manifested in streaks of tears down her face.
She hadn’t cried when facing Xia Ming’s heartlessness. She had never shown any sign of weakness when facing Lu Chen’s betrayal. Even if she had died in the end, she had chosen to die magnificently.
Thus, this was the third time she had ever cried.
The first time had been when her mother and maternal grandfather’s entire family had died!
The second time had been when her brother had been dismembered alive in front of her!
The third time was right now, when she realised her brother was still living in this world.
“Yu’er, don’t worry. Now that I know you’re still alive, I’ll find you, even if I have to dig into the furthest corners of this world…”
TL Note: This is the last translated chapter of EEWC.
Thank you once again for reading Evil Emperor’s Wild Consort! >w<
I’ll be taking a short break and working on summaries before I start posting them. EEWC is complete at ~1800 chapters, including some extra side stories. I’ll be summarising it all the way to the end.
Unfortunately, it’s going to take a while to finish these summaries. I have to read 50 chapters in Chinese and pick out the important points to summarise, which takes much longer than translating 1 chapter. There’ll be about 32 summaries posted, and I’ll try to post at least 1 or 2 summaries every week! I’ll also make an announcement post as usual when I post summaries, so you can check the volare home page for updates~
I hope to have the first summary out by next week! In the meantime, try reading some of the new short stories I just translated!
I’ll be focusing on writing the summaries while searching for a new novel. When I do find one, it’ll be launched here on volare, hopefully in late June or at the start of July! :3
