Heavenly Star (Web Novel)
chapter-17

At this time he began to seriously observe the young man in front of him. he felt more surprised as he was observing him more. He was eye-catching wherever he was due to his excessively handsome appearance. And his body seemed vaguely to be born with aloof elegant temperament, even though he stood together with hundreds of people, he still looked aloof and still was the one who caught people’s attention! A faint smile on his face, but his eyes showed a kind of bland disregard all in the world, only when he looked at the girl in his arms, that pair of eyes completely turned soft.

His overly peaceful tone sounded like a superior who overlooked the living beings, even though not that obvious, smart people would be able to see through clearly.

Grandpa Long considered that the young man was definitely not ordinary, but a descendant of a certain big family. The superiority and tolerance was sensed, which meant it was absolutely impossible for him to be nurtured by a small family! Considering his courage, not even a big family could cultivate him into such a person.

Grandpa Long couldn’t help being more curious about this teenager’s background.

Grandpa Long eyes fell on Ye Wu Chen’s left hand that was holding Ye Ning Xue, a black finger ring came into grandpa Long’s sight. His pupil fiercely contract, but he immediately concealed this. Ye Wu Chen clearly saw grandpa Long’s gaze and instant changes, Ye Wu Chen smiled at grandpa Long then glanced at the black ring on his left hand as if absorbed in thought.

“Xue Er, stop crying please. People will laugh at you if you don’t stop.” Ye Wu Chen shook Ye Ning Xue’s body gently as if he was coaxing a newborn baby.

“I… I was not crying. I just feel very happy…” Ye Ning Xue tried to stop her crying and hugged Ye Wu Chen’s neck tightly with her two arms, and was not even willing to let go for a moment.

Long Zheng Yang finally asked. ”Brother, are you really fine now? Your inner organs injuries were really……”

If ordinary people were hurt like that, they would absolutely die. If they could survive, it would already be a miracle. But he stood here safe and sound now, it was…… unbelievable. The strong innate vital essence from the Tian Lie bird’s egg could only extend his life for some days, but there would never be such a magical effect.

Ye Wu Chen nodded his head with a smile. ”I didn’t get any serious damage as you have imagine, moreover, the martial arts I have been practicing helps me to automatically restore my injuries. I have been conscious these two days even though I can’t move my body, I can still hear all what you said.”

Ye Wu Chen was cured indeed, leaving no injury all over his body. But that dozens of strong breath hiding inside his body were just like a sleeping time bomb, no one would know when they would wake up and threaten his life.

Long Zheng Yang slightly frowned with a confused look.

“What you did for Xue Er and me, I will definitely keep in mind. Since we have troubled you a lot these two days, now we don’t want to bring more troubles to you, so we have decided to say goodbye to you.”

He was decisive and natural while he was communicating and doing thing, which made grandpa Long appreciated him more, so grandpa Long didn’t urge him to stay but said. ”Okay, then I won’t make you stay. Only thing is, your body is really okay? Make sure you do not waste Ning Xue’s great efforts.”

“Thank you for caring about me grandpa Long, but I am sure that I am really fine.” He looked down and patted on Ye Ning Xue’s soft back then gently said. ”Xue Er, it is time for us to leave, and say goodbye to your grandpa and Brother Long.”

Raising her head from Ye Wu Chen’s arm, Ye Ning Xue reluctantly had to wave her hands. Grandpa Long and Brother Long, my brother will bring me… I appreciate your help, and will think of you in this lifetime. We will come back to visit you again.”

Grandpa Long burst into laughter. ”I feel extremely happy when I hear you say this.”

“Goodbye.” Slightly nodding to them, Ye Wu Chen didn’t stay at all but walked out immediately. Soon, Ye Ning Xue’s shouting came from the outside. ”Grandpa Long, goodbye…” Then her voice went farther and farther.

“They left in such a hurry. Even if his body completely healed, Ye Ning Xue sister needs a rest…… But, his body is really all right? Till now, I am still confused at this.” Long Zheng said casually.

Grandpa Long dropped into silence then said to himself. ”No………… 15 years ago I saw his grandson, his grandson was around 5 years old at that time with strong bones. Their age and appearance doesn’t match, weird.”

“Grandpa, you saw him before?” Long Zheng Yang asked.

Grandpa Long shook his head and said meaningfully. ”Yang Er, try to build up friendship with him if possible, he should be helpful to you.”

Long Zheng Yang nodded his head then said in a low voice. ”It is weird why I always think I have ever met him somewhere.”

“Brother, you said that you will protect me forever.”

“Yes.”

“Then don’t leave me alone and walk away, okay?”

“Okay!”

Gurgling sound of water came into their ears, Ye Wu Chen stopped walking and put Ning Xue on a flat stone besides the river then gently wiped her tears on her face. After that, he gently stroke those light marks scratched by brambles then gently asked. ”Does it hurt?”

“No, not at all.”

Ye Wu Chen tapped on her small nose, his eyes swarming with sorrow and grief, then he smiled. ”Xue Er suffered so much pain all because of me, I know you won’t blame me……… I swear that I won’t leave you alone no matter where I go in the future.”

Ye Ning Xue heavily nodded her head then gave a shallow smile, bending her eyebrows. Her terribly scarred face at the moment was dazzling beautiful in the eyes of Ye Wu Chen.

Her scars were completely wiped away while he was touching every red scar on her face by using his fingers. No residual trail left at all, as if they were not cut, but some colors which could be easily wiped. He made use of Ye Wu Chen spell’s power to wipe away every cut on her face, hands then hugged her in his arms he to took off her snow white cute shoes carefully, but which made Ye Ning Xue cry out in pain.

The pair of white socks were less than half red, it was not hard to imagine that how much pain she had been enduring in this two-days walking. Ye Wu Chen was distressed as if needles were pricking his heart. He dared not to took off her socks but then gently held her small feet, then his power immediately went into Ye Ning Xue’s feet to fully heal her feet injuries.

“You are so amazing brother, I feel no pain any more.” Ye Ning Xue kept staring at him, her crystal-clear eyes that were even more glittering than crystals were filled with obsession and fascination.

Taking off her two small socks, Ye Wu Chen said in a low voice. ”Whoever hurts you in the future, I will definitely make him regret it all his life.”

He was speaking at such a low voice, Ye Ning Xue couldn’t even hear what he said, but just blinked her eyes watching him. Only people who lost something knew how terrible it is, regaining the thing that is lost makes people appreciate it more. and he was truly happy that he did not lose Ye Ning Xue.
