To be more exact, her heart dearly missed that pair of violet eyes.
She stared at the screen for a long while, her body not moving an inch and her face sombre. Her eyes were slightly narrowed and it was not known what was going through her mind at that moment.
Until a man’s voice sounded out softly from behind.
“Apologies. I have been negligent.”
The woman’s expressionless face then seemed to change slightly, before she opened her mouth to say slowly: “What are you apologizing for?”
The tone of her voice was indifferent, so calm that it was almost impossible to detect whether there was any change in emotion at all.
For the past million years, it seemed like she had always been like this. The innocent girl who was prone to smiles and laughter seemed to live only as a figment in memories of the long distant past.
Lian Shi’s hands clenched up slightly. “The little lass managed to run away. I have really underestimated her. The Mind Free Peak is filled with all kinds of danger everywhere and if she comes to meet with any mishap by accident, all your plans might…..”
“Oh? Is that so?” The woman suddenly opened her mouth to interject. “Wasn’t her escape something you would have expected?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“What do I mean?” The woman scoffed and then turned around, her gaze fixed right on the man as she said piercingly: “Do you dare to look into my eyes and tell me that you have absolutely nothing to do with this? That you knew absolutely nothing about the entire thing?”
Finding himself to be the target of that cold icy glare, Lian Shi felt his heart wince painfully and the corners of his lips stiffened. “I was the one who personally brought her back here and you are actually suspicious of me now?”
“Shouldn’t I be suspicious of you? Haven’t you always been against it all this time? You said that I was being too cold blooded and that I shouldn’t try to defy Heaven’s will and deny fate, delusionally trying to revive someone who has been dead for many millennia, a person whose flesh body no longer exists.”
The woman walked up to him menacingly, her eyes sharp and chilling.
“Even if I am seeking to change fate and defy Heaven’s will, so what? I owe him from all the way back as if it was not because of me, he would not have died. So, even if I have to sacrifice myself here, I must revive him, as he should never have been the person to die back on that day.”
“And I’ve told you before, that if you are unwilling to help me achieve that, I will not force you. You can very well just leave.”
The dull ache in Lian Shi’s heart grew heavier, and it felt so oppressive that he was finding it hard to breathe for a moment.
Those words caused his face to turn deathly pale, suddenly looking highly frail and sickly.
However, the woman did not seem to have noticed the ill and wanton look on his face, but went on to say: “Don’t forget, you owe your life to him as well when he saved you. These are things that you should do for him.”
