Las cosas malas suceden a menudo

Capítulo 72

With a thud, the bag in Yu Wuxia's arms fell to the snow, and the white, fluffy cloud cakes rolled out of it. Her face was as pale as paper.

Green Plum stared intently in the direction Jun Wuhen had left, her eyes filled with disbelief. She had never seen the Lord with such an expression before—that deep tenderness and maddening love!

Suddenly, she remembered the pear blossom fairy from before.

Green Plum exclaimed in surprise: "The essence of pear blossoms, the Lord's wife! That pear blossom fairy is the Lord's wife!"

Yu Wuxia's face was even paler, and her body swayed precariously in the wind. She stared intently at the floating cloud cake rolling on the snow, and a wave of pain surged in her heart.

The next moment, she collapsed to the ground.

A bronze mirror as tall as her.

The mirror reflected light and shadow.

Suddenly, with a loud crash, the bronze mirror shattered into pieces, which floated around her.

Each fragment reflects a different person.

She looked at one of them.

Within the fragments was a man dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, his thick eyebrows exuding an indescribable majesty. He smiled and said to her, "My daughter, fly with confidence. Fly to wherever you like!"

In another fragment is a woman wearing a phoenix crown. She has a kind face and looks at her gently, saying with a smile, "Xue'er, although your mother misses you very much, if you find someone who is willing to tie your hair up, then fly away!"

A slight pang of pain shot through her heart.

She looked at the other fragments.

In another fragment was a man, his eyes as deep as the sea, occasionally flashing with a metallic sharpness and coldness. When she looked at him, his eyes instantly filled with tenderness. "Xue'er, I will find you. Even if you are trapped in hell, I will fight Yama, the King of Hell, to take you away!"

She bit her lip, a feeling she couldn't quite describe spreading through her.

She turned and looked at another piece of debris.

Within the fragments was a woman dressed in magnificent robes, with a face as alluring as a peony and a pair of captivating silver eyes. She stared intently at her and said fiercely, "One day, I will reclaim everything that is rightfully mine!"

A nameless hatred welled up from the bottom of her heart, but she held back for the next moment and looked up at the fragments above.

Within the fragments was a woman in green, smiling sweetly, her delicate face radiating the joy of spring. "Princess," she said, "I, Qingyi, will serve you for the rest of my life and will never marry!"

She was startled, and felt a slight pang in her heart again.

Finally, her gaze fell on a large fragment.

Within the fragments was a woman of serene indifference, dressed in magnificent robes, her hair shimmering with gold, exuding a noble air. Yet, her eyes were filled with helplessness. Upon seeing her, she smiled faintly. For a fleeting moment, it was as if a hundred flowers bloomed in spring. Finally, the smile vanished, and her expression returned to indifference. She said softly to her, "Follow your heart."

She stared intently at the woman in the mirror who looked exactly like her, and suddenly realized that she was already in tears.

Her vision blurred, and gradually, the figures in the fragments became increasingly indistinct. When she wiped away her tears, the figures in the fragments had already vanished, and all the fragments had left her.

She was completely blank.

"Yun'er... Yun'er... Why are you covered in cold sweat?! Yun'er, wake up. Yun'er..."

Qingyun pouted and said with dissatisfaction, "It's so noisy! Who's bothering me?"

She rubbed her eyes and then slowly opened them.

What came into view was a pair of icy blue eyes, which flashed with joy and excitement upon seeing her awake.

Suddenly, Qingyun paused, biting her lower lip.

Deep within his eyes lay a profound love, a love that would never change even if the sky were to fall—a love so intense it was almost obsessive.

Who... is he? Why does he love her so intensely?

Jun Wuhen was somewhat panicked.

Her expression towards him was unfamiliar; her eyes were filled with confusion, as if she didn't recognize him. Her heart, which had never been flustered before, was now in such turmoil that she couldn't even feel it beating.

He held her hands tightly, so tightly that Qingyun frowned.

"pain."

Qingyun tried to break free from her hand, but she couldn't.

"Hey! Let go! It hurts!" Qingyun stopped struggling, pouted, and glared at Jun Wuhen with a dissatisfied expression.

Upon seeing her expression, Jun Wuhen suddenly burst out laughing. He released her hand, and his expression relaxed slightly.

"Yun'er, tell me. Who are you?" Jun Wuhen asked softly, calming himself down.

A fleeting mist appeared in Qingyun's eyes, but it vanished in an instant. She glanced at him curiously before replying, "I am Qingyun. You're so strange; you called me Yun'er, yet you asked who I am..."

Suddenly, Qingyun's eyes widened in surprise, her clear eyes flashing with disbelief.

"You, you, how do you know I'm Qingyun?" The only person who knows she is Qingyun is Li Ge, so there's no way he could know.
