Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: Red and Dazzling

And the off-hand knife in your hand was reduced to just a hilt, as the blade shattered under the overwhelming energy.

"Wrarrr!" Once the Goblin Priest died, the goblins scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing at a speed more than tenfold faster than their arrival.

"Mu Yun!" Hua Jieyu threw herself into your arms without care, unable to suppress the grief in her heart any longer, she cried in your embrace, tears overflowing.

"There, there, don’t cry, they’ve all gone." You hugged Hua Jieyu gently, patting her jade back lightly with your right hand.

"Hold me tighter, please? I feel a bit cold."

Hua Jieyu’s face showed a sorrow you’ve never seen before, tightening your heart at the sight, you slowly nodded your head, tightening your embrace slightly, bringing both of you even closer. Little Fire Wolf felt stuffed and finally managed to wriggle out of your arms, looking puzzled at you and Hua Jieyu hugged tightly together.

"Do you want to know about my past?" After a long while, Hua Jieyu finally spoke up.

"If you don’t mind, I’m willing to share the pain of your past with you." You said softly, at this moment, Hua Jieyu was like a frail little girl, in need of your pity and care.

"I was originally a citizen of the Xuanqin Empire, dreaming since childhood of becoming a renowned heroine. When I was fifteen, I set out to Sad Plains with a few friends. Since we were all novices, many things were unclear to us. Rash and fearless, we did something we’d regret for life. We heard that a group of Forest Goblins had kidnapped many young ladies to offer to their Divine spirit, so we set out to rescue them. Sadly, all the males in our group were killed in battle. There were too many goblins; we could not kill them all, and eventually, my two female companions and I were also captured as sacrifices."

At the mention of her heartache, the tears cascaded down Hua Jieyu’s cheeks. You saw the pain in her eyes and felt it in your heart, gently patting her back.

"I saw with my own eyes as one of my companions was killed alive, then their belly slit open..." Hua Jieyu couldn’t speak anymore, only sobbing in your arms.

"No more, stop talking." You sighed somberly.

"No, I must say it, I have to!"

Hua Jieyu’s lips were tightly pursed, her eyes revealing a determination unsuited for a woman: "Actually, I should have died with them back then. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have endured nearly ten years of pain. After the goblins killed one of my companions, another group coveting their treasure entered their cave. This group was powerful; they wiped out the goblins quickly. However, they aren’t heroes from the stories. Instead, they were heinous robbers! They brutally killed my companion... She was the best sister I ever had! I swore at that moment, I couldn’t die, and one day I would wipe them all out!"

Towards the end, Hua Jieyu’s words were laced with a low growl of rage.

You sighed again, holding Hua Jieyu tightly, speaking warmly: "It’s all in the past now, such things will never happen again."

"Mu Yun, I approached you indeed with a purpose, knowing I could never take my revenge with my own power. How about a deal? If you help me with my revenge, I swear by the Father God that I’ll stay by your side for this life, at your beck and call!"

At that moment, Hua Jieyu completely opened up to you, and you felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from your heart. You gently pushed her away and kissed her forehead, smiling and saying, "I’ll help you avenge your wrongs, but I don’t want you to force yourself to do something you don’t want to with this vow. Actually, we don’t have to be in that kind of relationship."

"Are you rejecting me?" Hua Jieyu pushed you away suddenly, taking a couple of steps back.

"No, that’s not what I meant." You hurriedly responded.

"I understand." Hua Jieyu’s mood dimmed, but after a moment, her face resurrected its deadly enchanting smile, "Thank you so much for your help these past few days. I’ll respect your wishes, and from now on, we will not see each other again."

Hua Jieyu turned to leave, and you quickly grabbed her hand: "Don’t go, at least hear me out first."

Good heavens!

You never expected that in this Reincarnation World, Hua Jieyu’s life would be so fraught with hardship!

Even though she was an orphan abandoned by others in the real world, luckily she met Wu Qiyi, whose fate thus changed.

Even knowing this world is all not real, you still pity her past.

Hua Jieyu didn’t turn away, letting you grab her hand.

Seeing this, you quickly said: "You misunderstood me. I meant that our feelings for each other shouldn’t be bound by a word or a vow. I don’t care about your past; what matters to me is your feelings right now."

Hua Jieyu slowly turned around, giving you an inquisitive look.

You nodded at her with a smile, saying, "Let’s forget all about the past and start over. Would you like that?"

"I would!"

Reaching out, you embraced her soft, warm form tightly in your arms, allowing the warmth of your bodies to meld your hearts together.

"Woof." Little Fire Wolf tilted its head, watching you both, its bright eyes filled with confusion.

After you unraveled Hua Jieyu’s mental knots, the barriers between you two also shattered, and you sweetly headed toward Jugong City together.

"Come on, open your mouth wide, there you go." On the carriage, Hua Jieyu, holding Little Fire Wolf, sat next to you with a big bowl filled with fragrant slices of meat in her hands.

You steered the carriage while enjoying the affectionate and thoughtful service of Hua Jieyu.

"Woof." Little Fire Wolf, feeling neglected by Hua Jieyu and you, let out a pitiful whine.

"You little rascal, can’t you see Mommy and Daddy are being affectionate?"

Hua Jieyu stroked Little Fire Wolf’s head affectionately. The comfortable stroking made Little Fire Wolf squint with pleasure, its body trembling slightly, "Dear, what should we name our little guy?"

"Let’s call him Wang Cai."

"No, Wang Cai sounds so tacky. The little guy is the crystallization of our love," Hua Jieyu didn’t like the name Wang Cai, insistently urging you to pick a more appealing name.

Your eyes gleamed mischievously as you grinned, "Then how about ’Vibrant and Flustered’."

Hua Jieyu stared at you, not even bothering to roll her eyes at you.
