Yu Ye Lan struggled to open her eyes, her vision blurry. She tried to raise her hand to touch Yue Xi Ye’s cheek, her lips moving without sound, but Yue Xi Ye knew what she said!
“Ye… leave this place… start over… and… forget me…”
“No! Little rabbit, I won’t let you leave me, do you hear me, won’t… won’t… won’t…” Yue Xi Ye held Yu Ye Lan tightly, pain and fear driving him mad.
Yu Ye Lan’s arm raised halfway, then fell weakly. She looked at Yue Xi Ye with a lingering gaze, slowly closing her eyes. The blood-red blooming rose ring slipped from her finger into the grass.
“No—Little rabbit, I absolutely won’t let you leave me—won’t—” Yue Xi Ye held Yu Ye Lan’s increasingly cold body, using all his strength, his teeth nearly shattering, unable to believe, unwilling to accept.
His howl echoed through the yellow grass, endless, without conclusion.
Legend of Destiny (12)
Yu Ye Lan stood before an elegant palace. A long scroll unfolded on the water curtain of a fountain.
Fourteen years ago, the Li family’s Night Princess was three years old and needed to choose a future consort. All boys aged three to ten from the Li family were brought to the palace.
The Li family’s holy medical woman, married abroad, returned with her five-year-old son to attend this grand event. Over three days, the Night Princess played with a five-year-old blue-eyed boy. The Li family’s clan leader decided their marriage.
The Li family members all possessed different magical powers, and the princess played a hereditary role. Before marriage, the princess’s magical power was sealed in the Li family’s magical container—the rose ring. The princess could only receive the ring and unlock her spiritual power after marriage.
The Night Princess’s rose ring was given to the blue-eyed boy as an engagement token.
The next day, the largest rebellion in Li family history erupted. The most powerful sword witch betrayed the family. Caught off guard by a spirit-locking drug, the Li family faced a catastrophic disaster.
