Chapter 2: Two Fates Intertwined
1291 Words
"Cough, cough..."
Yun Mo struggled with all her might to free herself from his iron grip, but to no avail.
No, I can't keep going like this. I'll die!
She was desperate and knew she couldn't keep going like this; she would die if she didn't act fast.
With no other choice, she activates her special technique, secretly activating her Star Eyes. Instantly, her black pupils transformed into a bewitching red shade that tingled with otherworldly power.
She grabbed the hand that was choking her and dug her sharp nails into his flesh, drawing out mysterious blood that seemed to flow straight into her very being.
Ye Hua sensed the danger and tried to break free, but found himself inexplicably trapped by an invisible force.
"Two fates intertwined, I live so you can survive! I die so you perish……" Yun Mo began, her voice cold and ruthless.
Ye Hua heard a cold and authoritative voice penetrate into his thoughts as he felt an inexplicable connection forming between himself and the mysterious girl, Yun Mo.
Her enchanting red eyes bore into his, luring him in despite her unstable condition.
The next moment, her hands slipped into the water with a hollow sound, and her head slumped to the side as she lost consciousness. Ye Hua's expression turned grim as he sensed his vitality being siphoned away.
This seemingly innocent girl had plotted against him with her beguiling techniques, capturing him within her grasp. Those mesmerizing, heterochromatic eyes of hers...
He couldn't let her die yet; not until she dispelled her technique.
Once undone, he would make her rue the day she ever crossed him.
“Your Highness!”
“We came too late! Please punish us!”
Suddenly, two men dressed in black robes materialized by the creek, prostrating themselves before him.
With a splash, a man donning an ink-colored robe emerged from the water carrying a fragile girl in his arms. He strode towards the shore.
"Rise," a deep and pleasing voice commanded gradually.
As they lifted their heads, the two black-robed men gazed at him in astonishment, gaping in awe.
Ye Hua cast a casual glance at the two black-robed men, sending chills down their spines. They quickly regained their composure on the surface.
Inwardly, they were in an uproar:
Holy s**t, is that truly His Highness?
How could he possibly be holding a woman? This was utterly jaw-dropping!
After all, it was commonly understood that His Highness adhered to strict hygiene standards and abstained from women, and now he was actually holding onto a female creature - injured, no less!
That woman is injured all over, her neck bruises especially prominent. Could His Highness have done that?! His highness is fierce! Seems I've discovered something huge.
Maybe I'll "advise" His Highness gently in the future: Be gentle with flowers, for too much ferocity...one can only last a day.
At that moment, Ye Hua placed Yun Mo on the ground. Frowning, a white Grade 8 elixir appeared in his long-fingered hand. Without mercy, he stuffed it into her mouth.
Fortunately, the pill dissolved upon contact.
The Grade 8 elixir worked wonders. Within moments, Yun Mo's wounds started healing and her pale face regained its rosy hue.
Only the prominent bruises on her delicate neck couldn't be healed by a mere Grade 8 elixir due to Ye Hua's strength.
At least her life aura gradually returned.
Once she awoke, she'd undo that mysterious technique.
Ye Hua's thoughts turned to her wanton smile and challenging eyes before fainting, and her words "Two fates intertwined, I live so you can survive! I die so you perish……". Suddenly, he felt restless.
Ye Hua glanced at her, then stood up and called "Qingfeng."
The sound of his voice echoed through the mist as his trusted subject knelt before him, answering firmly, "At your command!"
Without any hesitation, Ye Hua ordered him, "Inform Grand Ancestor Xuanyue that we need to push the scheduled time back."
"As you wish," Qingfeng replied before disappearing like a wisp of smoke.
Standing aside, Xiyun observed quietly in the background. He couldn't help but notice how the emperor seemed to be avoiding the disheveled woman, and he muttered under his breath, "His Highness seems to be giving that girl the cold shoulder."
A voice as cold as ice immediately retorted, "Xiyun, you're idle?"
Upon hearing these words, Xiyun assumed a battle stance in an instant, putting on a perfect smile and saying, "This lowly one just remembered that the barrier array at the bottom of this cliff seems to have loopholes. This lowly one will now go reinforce it!"
Having said that, he fled as if escaping.

As dusk settled in, the world became shrouded in darkness.
The edge of the cliff was silent, without even the slightest sound. Only a noble and aloof man in a black robe stood there with his hands behind his back, meditating with closed eyes.
After what seemed like an eternity, a faint whimper arose from the ground. The unconscious woman awoke slowly to pitch blackness.
She sat up, pain shooting from her neck as memories of moments before she fainted flashed across her mind.
Yun Mo couldn't help scolding, "I've never met such a violent psychopath! Does being handsome make you think you can do as you please?!"
"Hmm?" A deep voice filled with countless chills raised slightly.
Yun Mo was startled by the sudden change in tone and followed the sound, only to see a tall, slender figure standing several meters away.
Yun Mo: ...
There's no greater embarrassment than being caught badmouthing someone.
She closed her eyes, checked her star eyes, seeing an invisible red thread connecting them - visible only to her.
Quickly closing her eyes, Yun Mo checked her Star Eyes. She was the only one who could see the faint red thread connecting her and the man.
It was formed by their aura and others could not see it, including the man in front of her.
With their fates intertwined, she was no longer afraid that he would kill her.
In her previous life, she was a Star Eyes master well-versed in Metaphysics and Eye Spell. Lifebinding, a technique for soulmates, ensured lovers trusted each other implicitly. Betrayers were doomed forever. She'd used it only out of necessity...
Yun Mo approached him with a standard smile and said: "Big Brother..."
Ye Hua turned, coldly interrupting, "Undo the technique."
Yun Mo's eyes rolled slightly, her charming eyes flickering. Suddenly, she pounced on his thigh, hugging it tightly, and appeared to be wailing and making a big scene: "Wu wu wu...Big Brother, only I can't break it."
Disgust flashed in Ye Hua's profound eyes as he tried kicking her off to no avail.
In the darkness of the night, Ye Hua's temples throbbed with veins, wishing he could slap her dead with one hand.
"How do I undo it?"
Yun Mo sniffed. "Making s****l intercourse and the pleasure of close intimacy in a couple," she smiled wickedly.
"Shameless!"
Infuriated, Ye Hua couldn't take it anymore. After hearing this, he raised his hand and, with a wave, a high mountain was instantly bombed to pieces, dust rolled, and even the trees nearby were uprooted. In an instant, it looked like a ruin.
Yun Mo felt amazed in her heart, shocked by his incomprehensible strength. He seemed to be much stronger than just a billion billion...
It's estimated that even the royal ancestors of the imperial family of the Ling Emperor of Da Chu country were not as strong as he is! This man looks young, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, and yet he's already so strong.
Indeed, those who possess the Purple Heaven Fate are all proud sons of heaven.
