oves, he doesn’t understand passionate love.” She continued, “Father was planted in Ye Mountain by the imperial court precisely to reclaim it one day. That day, when Father was hunting in the forbidden mountain, he saw a blue-haired you, and those sixteen characters made Father think you might have some value, so he pretended to save you. It was I who asked Father to set up a trap to kill you. Father loves me so much that he would rather betray the imperial court for me. But I did not want to kill you because of the King’s prophecy; I was afraid of what you might have said in your dream that night, afraid you would use the King and destroy Ye Mountain… How heartbroken he would have been then.”
“So afterwards, why did you keep targeting me, even wanting to kill me?”
“That was the emotion in your eyes. I love the King so much, and I clearly saw the love for the King in your eyes…” Langmoon said with difficulty, coughing up more blood.
“I cannot love him, cannot…” Although I do not hate him, I absolutely cannot love Ye Suo, the King of Ye Mountain! Yet, sometimes I would be lost in his misty white eyes, and then, as if remembering something, I asked, “Langmoon, what exactly was that sixteen-character prophecy?”
“The world’s fate, the Emperor’s star descends; Three thousand blue threads, a hero’s tomb!”
“What did you say?!” I could understand the first part, which was about Ye Suo being the Emperor’s star descending to the world, but what did the latter part about three thousand blue silk threads mean? What hero’s tomb?!
Images of my first meeting with Ye Suo flashed in my mind, how he wanted to kill me upon seeing my blue hair. Does this prophecy mean I am his nemesis?
p unease, recalling the inexplicable conflicts since our first meeting, how he repeatedly tried to kill me yet always stopped, and would carefully care for me… So this was the answer. I am his nemesis.
“Jiao Long, I don’t have much time. I only ask you one thing: do you still want to destroy Ye Mountain now?” She ignored my speculations and desperately grabbed my skirt.
