583: Chapter 183: Sura Equals Black Phoenix (Middle) _1 583: Chapter 183: Sura Equals Black Phoenix (Middle) _1 “You already know, I am a princess of the Landias Empire, but do you know how much I did not want to bee this princess?

This identity not only brought me endless pain but also humiliation instead of glory.” Her eyes shimmered, a faint sadness flashing in them, as if the dead, indifferent cold that once was in the Black Phoenix had returned somewhat.

Embracing Sura tightly, as though fearing she might run away, Ye Yinzhu pressed his face to the top of her head and listened quietly.

“Do you remember?

Before our final battle in the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons war, I told you that my mother was a maid in the Landias Palace.

According to the rules of the palace, maids could leave and find someone they love to marry in the outside world once they reached the age of twenty-two.

My mother was living a tranquil life on that trajectory, but the night before she turned twenty-two and was about to leave the palace, she was defiled by my father, and with that, her life of pain just began.

Back then, neither identity I told you about; Sura or the Black Phoenix, was a lie, I just concealed part of it, merging everything I told you about those two identities, that is my true heritage.”

“Sura,” Ye Yinzhu’s heart hurt.

He had a good memory, he always vividly remembered the story Sura had told him about a silver coin, and now, thinking of what the Black Phoenix had been through, he absolutely couldn’t imagine that such a tragic fate had befallen Sura alone.

“After my mother was raped by my beastly father, she still left the palace, but unfortunately, she was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl.

Nine months later, she gave birth to me and my brother.

However, my brother died young because we had no money for medical treatment.

To purchase some fruit to pay respects to my brother, my mother became disabled, and our daily lives were worse than that of slaves.

By the time my beastly father found me, my mother had already died due to overwork, and all she left me was that single silver coin.

Even when we were close to starving, I never used it.

What does it matter if I’m a princess?

Probably not a single princess in the whole world has ever felt the kind of life I lived.

Do you still remember my biological brother Samoye, whom I killed?

My half-brother from the same father?

The Royal Family is the filthiest place.

It was not until the Master of the Dark Tower, Sloane, took me away and until I personally castrated Samoye, that my painful life found some relief.

Yin Zhu, do you know who the mentor that took me was, the one who personally helped me castrate Samoye?”

“It was Master of the Dark Tower, Sloane,” Ye Yinzhu said with a somewhat hoarse voice.

Sura was slightly startled, “So you’ve guessed it already.

Yes, that’s right, my teacher is Sloane.

One of the Seven Tower Lords of Faran’s Seventh Tower, a powerful Sub-God rank Holy Sorcerer.

It was because of the resentment and hatred in my heart that the teacher saved me and took me as his apprentice.

From that moment, I began to live a life more like a human being.

Although the cultivation was extremely tough every day, I didn’t care, I wanted revenge, revenge against all those who had hurt my mother and me.

So I practiced cultivation desperately; on this point, how could my junior sister from the Light Saint Tower understand?

She was nurtured in brightness, but I have always been in darkness.”

Pausing for a moment, Sura’s voice weakened, and a faint grayness covered her pretty face.

The poison of the Demon Jade Dragon within her had begun to take effect, yet she endured the pain inside her without showing it.

“After pleting my studies in the Dark Tower, I returned to Landias, and thanks to my birth, my father stopped ignoring me and instead valued me highly.

My teacher told me that no matter what, I was not allowed to seek revenge on my father.

After all, he is my father, and a part of the blood in my veins belongs to him.

To break ties with him forever, I promised him that I would do three things for him.

The first thing he asked for was to infiltrate the Milan Empire and discover the secret of the number of the Milan Mage population.”

Getting to this part, Sura’s expression gradually softened, and she nestled closer into Ye Yinzhu’s embrace, “It was then that I cast a disguise spell on myself and became a little beggar.

That was when I met you, the only person in this life who gave me a sense of happiness.”

A faint silver light twinkled, and Li Sha’s figure slowly faded away in the glow.

In fact, the time for her summoning had not yet e, but Li Sha knew very well that staying any longer was pointless.

For whatever reason, she felt it was better to leave this last bit of time just for the two of them.

Ye Yinzhu naturally noticed Li Sha’s departure, but his heart was already entirely focused on Sura.

A faint smile appeared on Sura’s face, despite the spreading poison wound on her arm, she smiled happily, “Do you remember what I said to you when you gave me that gold coin?”

Ye Yinzhu softly said, “You said, I am a good person.”

Sura nodded and said, “You still remember.

What I said was the truth.

I’ve met all sorts of people, but it was the first time I saw someone as naive as you.

Some have given me money out of pity, but no one has ever given as much as you did.

I stole your ring, and even I don’t know whether it was to keep as a memento or to sell for money.”

Ye Yinzhu also remembered the situation back then.

He had lost his ring and felt extremely embarrassed, but it was that incident which led him to meet Anya.

“Later, when I arrived at the academy, I was truly shocked when you walked into the dormitory.

I thought you had found me.

But you, in your silly way, didn’t notice the change in my expression and even became my roommate.

Do you know when I really started to like you?”

Ye Yinzhu gently shook his head.

He didn’t even know Sura was a girl, how could he possibly know these things.

Sura smiled and said, “It was when you gave me all the money you had on you for the first time.

You hadn’t even considered that I might deceive you.

You know, from childhood to adulthood, you were the first person besides my mother to trust me that much.

Maybe it was your trust and your silly demeanor that made me fall for you.”

Ye Yinzhu paused for a moment, “Is it that simple?

I thought it’s because I’m handsome.”

Sura burst into laughter, “Vain.

Aren’t there plenty of handsome men?

I’ve seen many.

I like you because you have a pure heart.

I never thought I could use the word ‘pure’ to describe a man, but after meeting you, I realized, there are still good people in the world.

Maybe it’s because of my troubled childhood, but I really like you for such a simple reason, not for your handsome appearance or your amazing Zither Magic.”

Pausing for a moment, a heavier shade of gray appeared on Sura’s face as she continued, “As time spent with you grew longer, I found my affection for you only deepening.

When I saw you with Haiyang and Xiang Luan, my heart would inexplicably ache, and it was then I understood I had fallen for you.

You had already bee an indispensable part of my life.

But because of that, the happiness of being with you gradually decreased.”

“Why?” Ye Yinzhu asked, puzzled.

Sura lifted her unpoisoned right hand and grasped Ye Yinzhu’s four-fingered hand, “Because I’m afraid of losing you.

I fear that once you have a woman, you will no longer care for me.

Even though I know you see me as just a good brother, I still can’t help but think that way.

I’m afraid you’ll drift further away from me, and that feeling is something I can’t extricate myself from.

I don’t know why, but there was a time when I fell into extreme conflict and pain.”

“Then why didn’t you tell me you were a girl?

Do you think I would care about your identity?

Sura, I wouldn’t.

Truly, I wouldn’t.

Whether you’re from Milan or Landias Empire, how could I possibly care about any of that?”

Sura sighed, “Because I knew I couldn’t be with you, that’s why I never revealed my real gender.

My tough upbringing made me a very rational person.

Being with you was just unrequited love on my part.

While I wasn’t sure how you would react upon finding out I’m a girl, at least there was a chance you might like me.

Think about it, if you knew I was a girl, could we still live in the same dorm?

If you didn’t like me after knowing, wouldn’t I be in even more pain?

Conversely, even if you fell for me, when the day es that I have to leave you, neither you nor I could bear the feeling of such a parting.

You’re naive by nature, and I didn’t want to hurt you in any way, so, …”

At this point, Sura’s voice choked up a little.

Ye Yinzhu’s eyes brimmed with tears as he held Sura’s hand to his face, “So you chose to bear all this by yourself in silence.

Sura, you’re so foolish, truly so foolish.”

Sura let out a light sigh, “What else could I do?

Even if there was just a one in ten thousand chance to be with you, I wouldn’t give up.

But the truth is, we are impossible.

There are too many barriers between us.

Even now, as I’m telling you these things, it’s because I’m about to leave this world, and my heart can no longer keep these things buried.

Yinzhu, promise me, if you have any feelings for me, even if it’s just brotherly affection, then please forget me after I die.”
