What is it? Brother Ye Chen, just say it."
Looking at her soft gaze and trusting smile, Ye Chen hesitated for a mont before finally saying,
"Xian'er… the truth is… before I ca to the Magical Beast Mountains, I had already been married once. Will you… mind?"
Even for soone as composed as Ye Chen, his voice trembled slightly at the end of his confession.
"So… before eting , Brother Ye Chen had already married another woman. Then what am I to him now?"
Hearing Ye Chen's confession, Xiao Yixian's delicate body trembled as if struck by lightning.
The bright smile on her face faded, replaced by a shadow of sorrow and confusion in her beautiful eyes.
Seeing her expression, Ye Chen's heart tightened painfully. "Xian'er… are you angry with ?" he asked softly.
Xiao Yixian shook her head after a brief silence, forcing a faint smile. "No, Brother Ye Chen, I'm not angry."
"Truly? You don't bla ?" Ye Chen pressed, his tone laced with hopeful tension.
"Really, I don't," she said gently. "And… I don't mind that you were already married."
Ye Chen exhaled in relief, a warm smile blooming on his face.
"Xian'er, you're the best! Let's prepare to leave tomorrow morning."
With joy in his heart, he cupped her face and kissed her tenderly.
That night, the two held each other close, sleeping in peaceful warmth.
At dawn, when Ye Chen's drowsy eyes opened, he reached out instinctively ..... but the space beside him was empty.
"Xian'er?" he called softly.
No reply.
He sat up, scanning the room with growing unease. "Where did she go so early?"
Then his gaze caught a folded piece of paper on the table.
Picking it up, he read:
Brother Ye Chen, I added a bit of sleeping dicine to your tea last night.
By the ti you read this, I'll already be sowhere you can't find ."
Ye Chen froze for a mont, realization dawning. So that's why I slept so deeply last night… she drugged the tea herself.
He continued reading
Brother Ye Chen, these days with you have been the happiest of my life.
I often dread of our future together. But since you're already married, please return to your wife and cherish her. Don't let her down.
As for us… let's call it a fleeting
dream ....sothing that once was, but will fade with ti.
Don't co looking for .
Xiao Yixian."
Ye Chen sighed deeply, the sound heavy with regret.
"Ah… I really was too naive. How could I think she wouldn't care about sothing like this?"
His chest tightened with guilt.
Thinking back, he could picture how she had forced that smile last night, hiding her hurt just to make him happy.
But wallowing in regret wouldn't help. He had to find her.
Fortunately, Ye Chen had long ago arranged for the Purple Lightning Mink, a six-tier magical beast, to secretly protect Xiao Yixian.
Even if she left, the mink would follow her ..... and through his spiritual link with it, Ye Chen could sense its location.
With that thought, a flash of silver erupted into the sky above the Myriad dicine Hall's courtyard.
A blazing silver light streaked across Qingshan Town, drawing astonished gazes from those below.
"Look! What's that in the sky? A silver glow.....like a divine bird!"
Before long, guided by his connection with the Purple Lightning Mink, Ye Chen arrived at a familiar basin ..... the place where he had first t Xiao Yixian, rich in herbs and dense with spiritual energy.
The mink's aura was there, deep within the basin.
"She must've asked that first-tier flying beast to bring her into that hidden valley."
Focusing his gaze toward the mist-covered depths, Ye Chen spread his wings and continued forward.
Monts later, he descended near the small mink, which imdiately leapt joyfully onto his hand, chittering excitedly.
"Master! Master!" it squeaked, rolling happily in his palm.
Ye Chen stroked its smooth violet fur and asked gently, "Little Zi, is your Sister Xiao Yixian down there?"
"Yes! She's in the valley below. A flying beast brought her here last night while you were asleep.
But don't worry, Master ..... I've been watching over her. No one could harm her while I'm around!"
Ye Chen smiled faintly. "You did well, Little Zi."
With that, he spread his silver wings again and pierced through the heavy mist
Below was a secluded valley, shrouded in thick fog that blocked it from the outside world.
Rare herbs grew in abundance, their fragrance mingling with the mist to create a serene, almost dreamlike atmosphere.
In one corner of the valley stood a small thatched hut.
