Chapter 1912: Chapter 1908: Alone and Helpless (First Update)
Seeing the hope in her eyes, Xue An gave a faint smile and gently shook his head.
The flas in Gong Yunjun’s eyes were instantly extinguished, and then she lowered her head, staying silent for a long ti.
Xue An also did not speak, simply sitting quietly by her side, waiting.
After a mont, Gong Yunjun spoke in a very somber tone, “I’m sorry, I was being rude!”
Xue An slightly raised an eyebrow, “Why do you say that?”
Gong Yunjun looked up, her eyes already red, then gave a bitter smile, “Because your appearance and deanor are so much like a lord I once knew, I presumptuously ca to ask, but in the end…”
“It seems I’ve mistaken you for soone else, I’m truly sorry.”
As she spoke these final words, her voice choked up, and she forcefully sniffed, as tears fell like broken pearls.
Xue An watched her quietly, his gaze gradually becoming gentle, but in the end he still didn’t speak, waiting until Gong Yunjun gradually cald down before he spoke softly.
“Was that person very important to you?”
Gong Yunjun wiped away her tears and nodded emphatically, her expression serious, “Very important, even more so than my own life, because it was he who gave my life.”
A glimr of light flashed in Xue An’s eyes.
Gong Yunjun, as if finding a window to vent her emotions, continued speaking to herself.
“I was just a naive young girl back then. My father died amid a gang fight, and my mother silently left one morning. I was left alone to struggle to survive.”
At this point, her tone beca bewildered.
“Can you imagine that feeling? I couldn’t even dare to fall fully asleep, because gang fights happened every day where I lived, and a helpless little girl like was their best trophy.”
“So I sared the dirtiest, foul-slling mud all over myself, did everything I could to conceal my gender, and slept clutching a small knife.”
Even after so many years, speaking of it again, her eyes showed deep fear as if the scenes from those years had played out once more before her eyes.
“Luckily, I survived in the end. But do you know what is even more terrifying than death?”
“Hunger.” After a long silence, Xue An spoke softly.
“Yes, hunger.” Gong Yunjun glanced at Xue An, then continued with a bitter smile, “It’s hard to imagine, isn’t it? Behind the seemingly flourishing surface of The Purple Microcosm City lies a bottomless abyss, where so die in endless gang fights, others freeze and starve to death. And just a wall away may be the lavish dens of the wealthy throwing away fortunes.”
Xue An shook his head, “It’s not surprising, because many places are like that.”
“Yes, it’s like that almost everywhere.” Gong Yunjun laughed at herself.
“I was so afraid to go out looking for food that I fainted several tis from starvation, eventually lying in bed unable to move, on the brink of death. I thought then that dying this way might be better, at least the suffering would end.”
“But just when I was in a daze, soone ca to my side, lifted my emaciated body, and took away from that place of chaos.”
Happiness and nostalgia appeared on Gong Yunjun’s face, “I still rember the warmth and scent in that person’s embrace; it was an intoxicating warmth. At the sa ti, I heard soone screaming and begging for rcy.”
“Though without the strength to open my eyes, I recognized the voice as belonging to the nearby gang leader who had cruelly killed my father. Such a fierce and notorious person, crying and begging.”
“You can’t imagine how I felt hearing that. It was like hearing heavenly music, so much so that I trembled with excitent.”
“He seed to sense it, smiling down at , and then the gang leader’s wailing stopped abruptly, followed by an overwhelming scent of blood, mingling with his scent, a mixture I could never forget in this lifeti.”
“Finally, I passed out, but at that mont right before I did, I thought if there truly is a heaven, this must be it.”
Gong Yunjun finished speaking, her low voice still echoing in the carriage, as she looked at Xue An with shining eyes.
But in the end, she was disappointed because she could not see any expression on Xue An’s face.
It was as if the entire story was like a fleeting illusion, Xue An didn’t even blink; it was only after she finished speaking that he gave a gentle laugh.
“And then?”
“Then he took away from that place, found famous doctors to treat , and even taught a cultivation technique.”
At this, happiness and radiant light shone in Gong Yunjun’s eyes.
“That was the happiest ti of my life because soone cared every day whether I was fed and clothed warmly, and he taught a cultivation technique suited to my talents. Only then did I know that he was, indeed, the widely renowned Red Lotus Immortal Venerable.”
Pride filled Gong Yunjun’s eyes, “I wasn’t surprised at all at the ti, because only a hero like him deserves to be called Immortal Venerable, and he ca to The Purple Microcosm City to handle so trivial matters, only to encounter those gangs committing cris in broad daylight, upon which he, in a fit of rage, wiped them out completely.”
“After staying for ten days, he left in a hurry, leaving with a weapon for self-protection and a substantial amount of money before he did.”
Then, Gong Yunjun carefully took out an exquisitely embroidered pouch from inside her clothes, opening it cautiously to reveal a small Talisman Spell inside.
“He told that this Talisman Spell could keep safe and the money would allow to live comfortably and securely. But what he didn’t know was that I didn’t need any of it, truly!”
Tears welled up in her eyes once again, “When he left, I didn’t even ask if he would return, because how could a hero like him rember an ordinary and lowly girl like ? But I still held on to a sliver of hope.”
“So over the years, I’ve been cultivating like crazy, wanting to beco powerful enough to be qualified to follow him. But in the end…”
Gong Yunjun’s face turned paper-pale, “He fell! I really don’t know how I survived upon hearing that news.”
“I thought of suicide countless tis, but in the end, I endured because I wanted to know why he fell, I wanted to know if soone had hard him, and if they did, I would avenge him.”
