Chapter 643: Chapter 646: So What If I Like You?
After leaving the cave, Luyu quickly headed in the direction of Yueying Lake.
She couldn’t describe how she was feeling, just a choke of pain in her chest and a sudden chill on her cheeks.
Touching her face, Luyu looked at the clear teardrop on her fingertip, slightly stunned.
Had she... been crying?
Why was she crying? Was she distressed? But why should she be?
Because she liked Chiyan?
It seemed so. Who wouldn’t like the Beastman with a passion as fiery as a flame?
Not only did their Clan Chief forbid mingling between Ming Deer Beastman and Sky Fox Beastman, but so did the Sky Fox Clan Chief.
But, why?
Being born as a Ming Deer Beastman, she had no choice, just like Chiyan had no choice to become a Sky Fox Beastman.
It’s... so unfair.
"Alu, Alu, wait for me!" Xi’en’s voice came from behind.
Luyu wiped her tear-streaked face emotionlessly. She stopped by Yueying Lake, turning her head to look at Xi’en.
"What are you doing here?"
Xi’en’s response was somewhat stuttered, "A-A-Alu, no, Miss Alu, are you okay?"
"It’s fine."
Xi’en let out a sigh of relief. He carefully studied Luyu’s face, plucked up the courage, and asked, "Miss Alu, do you like Chiyan?"
Luyu stiffened.
The beastman who had followed Xi’en stiffened too.
Having hid not too far behind a large tree, Chiyan watched Luyu with anticipation, desiring her answer.
"What does it matter if I like him or not? There’s no possibility for anything to happen between us. You just heard what the Sky Fox Clan Chief said. Some things can’t be decided by my own will."
Xi’en dropped his head in disappointment, "Miss Alu, I’m sorry ..." 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝘣.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Luyu said indifferently, "You don’t have to apologize to me. You’ve done nothing wrong. On the contrary, we’re too weak. Perhaps if we could become stronger, maybe we wouldn’t have these worries."
Luyu squatted down, gently cupping the lake water with her hand. Ripples splashed outwards from her fingertips across the water’s surface.
Suddenly she asked, "Xi’en, when are you planning to leave?"
"In a few days. Once Gaiyin’s matters are settled, I will leave with them."
Luyu fell silent once again. After a while, she managed to nod, "That sounds good. Go explore the outside continent, I bet it’s colorful."
Xi’en looked at Luyu with complex emotions. He opened his mouth, found his resolve, and proposed with courage, "Miss Alu, why don’t you come with me? We could leave this place. You could take Chiyan with you, and live your own lives out there. No Ming Deer Clan, no Sky Fox Clan, nobody will know you or stand in your way."
The proposal was very tempting. Chiyan, who was hiding behind the tree, was deeply moved, his emotions so stirred that he couldn’t conceal his Qi.
Luyu glanced coldly at the direction, "Who’s there!"
Xi’en was startled and swiftly turned his head toward the tree.
Chiyan walked out from behind the tree, his face somewhat flushed.
"You two are also here? What a coincidence..."
Xi’en looked at Chiyan with some annoyance, "Have you been eavesdropping on us all along?"
Chiyan frantically waved his hands, "No, no, no, I only heard the last part. I didn’t hear anything else!"
