Chapter 1190: Chapter 1190: Let Me Take a Good Look at You

"I knew I couldn’t survive in this cruel world on my own. Fortunately, they didn’t kill my substitute. After they took my substitute away, I slowly followed them and then joined their team. Over the years, in front of everyone, I’ve always appeared as my substitute."

You suddenly feel a jolt in your heart and say to Hua Jieyu in your arms, "Could it be..."

"Yes, even now, the one you’re holding is also a substitute," Hua Jieyu looks up at you with a somewhat tragic expression.

"Why?"

"Can I finish everything I have to say first? I don’t want to live with burdens anymore, I need to be free, I want to tell you everything about the past. Only by doing this will I feel that I truly belong to you."

You nod your head, staying silent.

"During my time in the Eight Flags Alliance, I’ve always been searching for the place where my mother is, and at the same time, trying to find information about the Shui Clan. But over these years, I’ve almost searched every corner of Sad Plains to no avail, and I also started to think about leaving the Eight Flags Alliance. Some time ago, a group of people suddenly arrived at the Eight Flags Alliance, claiming that by finding the legendary Veins of Elements, the long-lost Alien Clan tribes could be located, including the Shui Clan, so I endured and continued to search."

"That’s why we met under the Vein of the Fire Element."

"Yes, but I later found out that these were just absurd lies. The group’s aim in searching for the Veins of Elements was only to achieve some goal of their leader."

"What goal?" You suddenly feel, as if the goal of this leader and your own are similar.

"I’ve never seen their leader, but I’ve heard that their leader masters and is cultivating a peculiar magic technique, which seems to be related to the Veins of Elements."

Hearing this, you are moved, and immediately ask Hua Jieyu: "Have you seen the leader of the Eight Flags Alliance?"

"I have of course seen the leader of the Eight Flags Alliance who appears in public; he’s a man who appears rough but is actually meticulous, and to be precise, a very dangerous man." Hua Jieyu pauses, then continues, "However, the leader behind the scenes of the Eight Flags Alliance, none of us have ever seen him. He appeared only once."

"Did you see his appearance clearly?"

"No, but his eyes were very strange. His pupils were blood-red, and it seemed like there was some kind of symbol spinning in those pupils; just one look at him would make you feel ice-cold, as if your soul was shivering."

This could be said to be, so far, the most important piece of information you’ve come to know.

Because you can be certain that the man behind the Eight Flags Alliance is none other than Li Zichen!

"Jieyu, reveal your True Body to me, so I can take a good look at you," you suddenly say to Hua Jieyu.

"Mu Yun..."

The Hua Jieyu in your arms slowly disappears into nothingness, while her voice rises from behind you. The moment you turn around, you see a body as white as jade. Stunned by her beauty, you are somewhat entranced. Before you can react, Hua Jieyu has already spread out her Jade Arm and hurled herself into your embrace with the fragrance of a gust of wind.

This is the first time you are seeing the real Hua Jieyu.

You can really feel it, the Hua Jieyu in your arms is indeed different from the substitute. While the substitute exuded a feminine charm all over, the real Hua Jieyu is permeated with a faint virgin fragrance. Although the real person and the substitute have exactly the same appearance, the real person’s eyes reveal the undeveloped charm of a lovelorn maiden and a hint of timidity.

"Jieyu, you... are truly beautiful," after quite some time, you manage to utter such a sentence.

"Mu Yun, I have a question you must answer me, you must answer honestly," Hua Jieyu suddenly says seriously.

"Ask your question. I’ll answer truthfully."

"Do you actually like my body, or me as a person?"

Without any contemplation, you continued after Hua Jieyu, saying: "I like neither of those."

Hearing you say this, Hua Jieyu’s heart felt like it had plummeted into an ice cellar, her seductive body immediately becoming very stiff. Without waiting for Hua Jieyu to react, you lowered your head and captured her tender red lips in a kiss. This kiss instantly dispersed the shadows and doubts in Hua Jieyu’s heart, replacing them with deep love.

This was such a blissful feeling that Hua Jieyu was almost lost in your passionate kiss.

When lips parted, you and Hua Jieyu gazed into each other’s eyes, a dense love filling the entire tent.

You took a moment before speaking, "I love you; I love your body, your heart, your soul. You belong to me, under the heavens, besides me, no one else is allowed to touch your body, to defile your soul!!"

Although these are not vows pledged on mountains or by the seas, nor are they honeyed words, what you said was thoroughly branded into Hua Jieyu’s heart and merged into her soul.

Hua Jieyu, holding onto you, shed tears of happiness...

The next morning, you, holding Hua Jieyu, appeared in front of a gloomy-faced Ling Yifeng. When Ling Yifeng saw Hua Jieyu, his expression instantly changed, and he said sharply: "You gave him your true body!?"

"Nonsense." You glanced at Ling Yifeng with disdain. Meanwhile, Hua Jieyu, looking blissfully happy, nestled softly like a docile little lamb in your embrace, having given everything to you last night, including her virginity that had been preserved for over twenty years.

"That’s unacceptable! How could your noble true body be given to such an ordinary fellow!"

Those unaware of the details might think Ling Yifeng was jealous of you. Since this was a private affair between the three, others didn’t pay much attention to it, each preoccupied with their own matters. Everyone knew that the upcoming battle wouldn’t be easy and that they might have to sacrifice their lives at any moment.

"Brother-in-law, you don’t need to be so nervous. After all, she will be my person sooner or later." You smiled slyly, radiantly.

"You bastard, she already has a fiancé!"

Hearing the word "fiancé," your expression visibly changed, but you soon showed a confident smile again.

"Oh? Do tell, who is this pitiful person?"

"Hmph, his name is Ma Xiu, Aspi; he is the Crown Prince of the Frank Empire, the future Emperor of Frank."

"Pfft!" You couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the name, "Why didn’t that guy go by the name Aspirin, instead?"

Ling Yifeng clearly did not understand your unjustified ridicule.

"Don’t think that my elder sister will stay on the Sad Plains forever. After we find my brother, she must return with me. It is my second mission to come to the Sad Plains, and I am guaranteeing it with my life."

No wonder Ling Yifeng so strongly opposed your relationship with Hua Jieyu.

"About this, Jieyu already told me last night. It seems your old man is about to pass away, and the country also appears to be in a period of turmoil. Although Jieyu has zero fondness for him, as one of the heirs to the Crown Prince, if she doesn’t return, the Xuanqin Empire might well be annexed by other nations. I also promised to let her go back with you, but I shall remain here. In a year’s time, I will bring the betrothal gifts to the Imperial City and marry Jieyu openly and honorably."

"A year? Do you think that in just a short year, you will have the power and wealth to marry the Empress of the Empire?" Ling Yifeng was getting angry, thinking that you were joking about his sister’s happiness.

You didn’t say anything, just looked at Ling Yifeng.

At this moment, the Overwhelming Pressure of the Seal of Truesky poured out like a flood of fierce beasts!
