Chapter 1709 - Unrequited Love (1/2)

The icy branch melted into vapor and disappeared in the blink of an eye

Huo Poyun turned around and saw Mu Feixue i vapor and not at him at all

“Fairy Feixue…” Huo Poyun froze into withdraw even his own hand

Mu Feixue appeared in front of Huo Poyun and suers A ravings on the leaves were all gone

“Sorry” Panic flashed across Huo Poyun’s eyes “I was so entranced by the plant that I lost control…”

One breath… two breath… the silence lasted for a short moment before Mu Feixue turned to look at him with the icy, emotionless pupils he was all too familiar with “What business do you have with the Ice Phoenix Palace, Fla… I’h sense and withdrew his hand “I have business with Realh here before seeing her”

Although he had gained enough practice and confidence to face any higher real like a true equal, for so or heartbeat in front of Mu Feixue

“The sect ht now, and she is in no condition to welco,” Mu Feixue said

Huo Poyun gathered his breath and calmed himself When he recalled the names on the icy branch, his confusion slowly turned into unprecedented deterht into Mu Feixue’s eyes, he said, “Truth be told, I’m here to see you In fact, I’ve—”

“You may return now that you’ve seen me,” Mu Feixue’s ansas as indifferent as ever Her countenance was exquisite, and her eyes were crystal, but they were completely devoid of any eht for you to lower yourself and visit the disciple of a middle star realm”

She immediately walked past Huo Poyun and toward the exit after saying that

“Feixue!” Huo Poyun abruptly turned around and shouted her na to Yun Che!?”

“” The tranquility in her eyes was slightly disturbed, but she neither stopped walking nor replied to his accusation

“He never cared about you!” Huo Poyun raised his voice It was too late to take back his words, so he finally discarded all the hesitation in his heart “Real Xuanyin once tried to wed the two of you as cultivation couples, but he turned down the request, didn’t he… he’s the one who told me this himself!”

“” Mu Feixue finally stopped in her tracks, but her face remained as expressionless as ever She said quietly, “If he holds a place in my heart, what does it matter if I hold a place in his heart or not?”

It was her roundabout way to advise Huo Poyun to let go of her

But fire and ice ultimately weren’t the same element

“But he’s a devil person! A devil person! A devil person!” Huo Poyun growled three times in succession “Your sect’s own rule demands you to kill any devil person you meet!”

He dashed in front of Mu Feixue and stared into her eyes “Not only that, he’s recently hailed as the Devil Master of the Northern Divine Region! He’s now the worst kind of devil person you can possibly think of! All the God eions think of him as a threat, and there is no place for him in this world besides the dark lands of the Northern Divine Region! So why… do you still refuse to let go?”

“The Devil Master…” Mu Feixue whispered Her bluish eyes turned hazy for a moment “As expected of him He shi+nes like no other even when he is pushed into the darkest abyss”

Despite standing right in front of Mu Feixue, Huo Poyun still couldn’t see himself in her eyes at all

Not only that, he saw a look he had never seen in her before when he told her that Yun Che had become the Devil Master Instead of fear, her eyes were filled with ad… emotions that he kneould never be his for all eternity

Huo Poyun’s pupils widened soundlessly as a chaotic flame threatened to burn his whole heart to ash He couldn’t understand why he couldn’t win even a look froh he now stood as tall as the stars themselves

Moreover, she was completely obsessed over a man who had rejected her and had never loved her

“Do you kno many women he has!?” Mind thrown into a coht of his own values “I heard that he had multiple wives and concubines in the lower realms! I even heard that he has a child already! Shui Meiyin, the daughter of the Glazed Light Realed to hihter Star God is affiliated with him, and even your master is rumored to share an adulterous—”

He suddenly recalled how much Mu Feixue respected Mu Xuanyin and stopped hiain, Mu Feixue walked past hiain, Huo Poyun turned around and stared at her back He was an higher realhtest star in the history of the Fla so helpless and trapped? “Why!? I don’t understand! Why is he so important to you!?”

Why

Her footsteps were silent, her gaze was unfocused She whispered both to him and herself, “Because… he is Yun Che”

Huo Poyun froze He didn’t move a muscle even after Mu Feixue had coht and senses

He didn’t kno long he stayed that way until a cool voice entered his ears “The women of Ice Phoenix Sect noro until they die”

Mu Bingyun sloalked up to Huo Poyun “Fla, please put Feixue behind you It won’t result in anything no matter how hard you try Someone of your status should be able to find countless women who are a better fit with you, so why do you insist on chasing after a dreaained his senses and syun “I’htly appearance, Realyun I will takethat

“Fla, were you the one who quelled the unrest of the profound beasts at the southern city earlier?” Mu Bingyun asked

But Huo Poyun was too engrossed with his own eive her a reply
