Chapter 1
"Our master-servant relationship ends here. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. I'm leaving. You don't need to follow me.
Take care of yourself from now on." "I've recovered most of my strength and no longer need you. I don't want to carry such a burden with me. You... take care of yourself. Whether you stay in Liuyuan City or go back to Heluo County City is up to you..."
"Don't think about coming to find me. You should know that if I don't want to, you will never see me. I... I'm leaving."
Lan Kui's few words were like icicles piercing A Yi's heart. In his dazed state, his mind was filled with those despairing voices, that unshakable light screen, and that unwavering figure. He was half-asleep and half-awake. In his dream, he felt as if he had been thrown into an ice cave. He was surrounded by darkness, and the chill from the bottom of his heart made him shiver uncontrollably. He inexplicably recalled a winter when he was twelve years old. He had accidentally broken a set of rough pottery tea utensils belonging to the village chief, and was punished with two meals a day and forced to sleep in the courtyard for one night. That night was terribly long. The biting wind and frost of the dead of winter had frozen his hands and feet stiff and painful. Before midnight, he couldn't even shiver to keep warm; he could only curl up like a squirrel, desperately wrapping himself in his tattered cotton coat. In the latter half of the night, he couldn't bear the cold any longer and helplessly thought that since the village chief's house was so warm, he could probably warm up by leaning against the wall outside. So, he used both hands and feet to climb to the wall outside the village chief's house. Unfortunately, the cold stone wall couldn't warm him. But he still naively thought that some warmth from the fire inside the house shone through the stone wall, slightly alleviating the bone-chilling cold. From then on, every winter, while other servants worked, they huddled together... Hands were dragged along as much as possible, and people stayed on the kang (heated brick bed) and absolutely refused to leave the room. Only A-Yi diligently gathered firewood and carried water, seemingly impervious to the cold, simply because no night had ever been colder or more unbearable than that one. However, now he felt that the hunger and cold of that night were nothing, because although he was in great pain at the time, just thinking about enduring a few more hours until dawn, being able to return to his room, lie on the warm kang, drink hot porridge, and eat baked cakes, gave him hope. This small thought sustained him and kept him alive. But Lan Kui's words only brought him darkness, leaving no hope. He drifted in and out of various hazy dreams for a long time. When that white figure disappeared for the last time, he suddenly woke up, covered in cold sweat, and subconsciously cried out, "Master! Master! Don't go! Master..."
After opening his eyes, he saw the luxurious furnishings and rich aroma around him. The fragrance made him somewhat disoriented, but he quickly realized he was in Yui's palace and lying on Yui's bed. Upon waking, he felt an indescribable discomfort in his chest; he could clearly feel his heart pounding wildly, almost bursting out of his chest, followed by a tearing pain that wouldn't subside for a long time. He could only gasp for breath, barely easing the suffocating agony. The two maids beside the bed were overjoyed to see A-Yi awake. One quickly brought a wet wipe to clean his sweat, while the other gently stroked his chest with concern. After a short while, A-Yi gradually calmed his breathing, though tears streamed down his face. As his mind cleared slightly, he heard a familiar voice outside the bedroom, seemingly scolding someone: "What use are you to the palace? You can't even manage to wake him up! You're a bunch of useless trash!"
Yu Yi, furious, pointed at the three kneeling royal physicians, her eyebrows furrowed in anger. She gritted her teeth and shouted that last night she had waited until almost midnight for A Yi, but he hadn't returned. She had thrown a tantrum and sent a fully armed squad of guards to A Yi's house to "invite" him, intending to tie him up and bring him to the palace to give him a taste of his own medicine. However, when the guards brought in A Yi, unconscious and with blood in his mouth, she was struck dumb. Forgetting everything else, she held A Yi and called out to him incessantly. Seeing no response, she hurriedly sent for the royal physicians. Before they arrived, she was already crying uncontrollably. The physician diagnosed A Yi with a damaged heart and blocked blood vessels, the unconsciousness caused by intense emotional turmoil. After preparing the appropriate medicine, Yu Yi personally fed it to A Yi, then anxiously held him and slept through the night, hoping he would recover completely by the next morning. However, the next morning, A-Yi was still unresponsive no matter how much they called him, and his complexion grew increasingly pale. Yu-Yi was terrified and had no choice but to summon the physician again. "Your Highness… the medicine I prescribed last night should have taken effect. Perhaps it's just that everyone's constitution is different, so he hasn't woken up yet… Your Highness might as well wait another half a day…" an elderly physician with a white beard said fearfully. Upon hearing this, Yu-Yi's anger intensified. She grabbed a jade disc from a nearby shelf and smashed it in front of the old physician, shattering it into pieces. While venting her anger, she shouted again, "Last night you said he'd wake up in half a day, and now it's half a day again! I don't care, you go and find another way! Go and prescribe more medicine! I want to see him within an hour!" "Wake up, or you bunch of good-for-nothings will all be executed! Go now! Go!"
After saying this, Youyi picked up two jade plates and smashed them in front of them. The three physicians trembled with fear and were about to retreat to discuss treatment methods when the two maids in the bedroom finally reacted and hurriedly came out to report to Youyi. As soon as Youyi heard that Ayi had woken up, she rushed into the room, leaving the three physicians looking at each other, but none of them dared to leave, fearing that something might happen to the nobleman inside and the princess would take her anger out on them. They had no choice but to stay there and wait for orders. Youyi entered the bedroom and saw that Ayi had woken up. She was finally relieved, but when she saw that his face was covered in tears and his complexion was so pale that he had no color in his skin, she was heartbroken. She rushed to the bedside, tightly holding A-Yi's head, and said urgently in a tearful voice, "You...you damned...damned slave...you...you scared me to death..." As if afraid he would faint again, Youyi kept touching his face, "How are you? Is anything uncomfortable now? You look so pale, I'll go call the physician..." Youyi looked at her lover's face with concern, and was about to go to fetch the physician when A-Yi suddenly hugged her. As soon as A-Yi saw Youyi, the bitterness and sorrow in his heart seemed to find an outlet, and he hugged her and cried bitterly. He had just uttered the words "Master" when he cried and couldn't speak anymore. Youyi was flustered by A-Yi's grief and quickly stroked his back gently. A voice comforted him, "Ayi...it's okay, it's okay, don't cry...Master is here. Tell me what's wrong, and I'll help you with anything. Please stop crying..." Her lover's sorrow easily affected her, and Yu Yi couldn't help but sob softly along with him. They cried for a while before Ayi managed to stop crying, then hugged Yu Yi and said intermittently, "Master...Master...Master...she...she's gone...she doesn't want me anymore..." He then couldn't help but sob again. Yu Yi was puzzled and asked urgently, "What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't I here? I didn't abandon you." Yu Yi stroked his head gently and said, "Ayi, did you have a nightmare, dreaming that I didn't want you anymore?"
"No...no, my master...it's not...it's not you..." A-Yi sobbed, shaking her head. Yu-Yi's brows, which had just relaxed a little, furrowed again. She asked in a deep voice, "What...what are you saying? Your master isn't me? Then who could it be?" A-Yi's change gave Yu-Yi a bad feeling, and her tone turned cold. A-Yi answered blankly, "My master...is...is...no...my master doesn't allow me to say her name..."
Yu Yi felt increasingly uneasy as she listened, but she suppressed her suspicions. She first summoned a physician to examine A Yi, and after confirming that he was unharmed and his heart had fully recovered, requiring only rest, she dismissed the physician and maid. She then began to question A Yi about his "master." A Yi was never one to lie, and he answered whatever Yu Yi asked. In less than half an hour, Yu Yi's expression grew increasingly grim, and her gaze towards A Yi became more complex. She could accept that A Yi wasn't from a prominent family but was merely an orphan from a mountain village; she didn't care much about his identity. She was simply furious at his deception. As for A Yi's "master," she was more shocked. She knew that high-level cultivators, especially mages, could have their souls leave their bodies, but she never imagined that such a ghost-like entity would be attached to her lover's body. "You asked me for the Sacred Wood Spirit Fruit before, just to reshape that woman's body?" Yu Yi asked, frowning. "Yes..." "...Yes..." A-Yi nodded. "Didn't you say it was for your teacher?" Youyi asked doubtfully. She was wearing the Seal Stone at the time, so A-Yi couldn't lie. "At the time...Master...Master said that she had been teaching me cultivation and combat skills, so she was my teacher. That...it wasn't a lie..." A-Yi's face darkened considerably. Now, just mentioning Lan Kui made him feel a sharp pain in his heart, and he even began to regret it immensely. He kept thinking that if he hadn't taken the Sacred Wood Spirit Fruit, his master wouldn't have left him. "That woman...she's so cunning, playing such tricks..." Youyi said resentfully, then looked at A-Yi with a face full of resentment. "I thought...I thought you always...always told me the truth...but...you've been lying to me from the very beginning..." She always hated being deceived. She had thought A-Yi's words to her were always sincere, but now this truth made her feel physically and mentally exhausted. A-Yi looked at Youyi's tearful eyes and felt an indescribable guilt and sadness. He hugged Youyi and apologized, "I'm sorry..." "Um... Yui... I'm sorry... I... I can't disobey my master... I can't..."
Before he could finish, Yui struggled to push his hands away, slapped him, and questioned him with red eyes, "What can't you do? For that woman, you would..." She suddenly remembered something, grabbed A-Yi's shoulders urgently, and asked incredulously, "I'm asking you, that night... you said... you said your favorite person, actually... you were talking about your master, not... not me?"
A-Yi simply nodded naturally and said "Mmm." Yui's indescribably beautiful face instantly lost most of its radiance, her small lips trembled slightly, and she seemed frozen in a moment by magic. A-Yi, however, couldn't sense Yui's emotions, and only held her arms pleadingly, "Yui... can you help me find my master..." He didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with asking such a question, only feeling that he and Yui were so close that she would definitely help him. However, before he could finish speaking... He noticed two hot tears silently streaming down Yui's face. He quickly wiped them away, anxiously asking, "Yui? You... why are you crying?"
Yui barely managed to come to her senses, gritting her teeth and holding back her tears. As if unwilling to accept it, she asked in a trembling voice, "Ayi... I'm giving you two choices now. First, stay... with me, and don't go looking for your master anymore..." Yui's eyes were filled with urgent expectation as she spoke. Although she already knew that she wasn't the most important person in Ayi's heart, she still couldn't bring herself to abandon her lover. She believed that Ayi truly loved her; there was no doubt about it. Now that the woman had left him, she wanted to give Ayi one last chance to stay by her side. "The second choice is, you go... go find your master, and never come to see me again. I won't help you find her."
Ayi frowned, puzzled, "This... Yui... why? Why... won't you help me? We're not..."
"Why? Let me tell you, before... I tortured all the men who lied to me until they wished they were dead. It's only with you... that I've been so forgiving..." Yui stroked Ayi's face sadly, her deep blue eyes filled with helplessness and sorrow. "Choose quickly... stay with me... or... go find her?"
Ayi looked at Yui's distressed expression and felt a pang of heartache. He wanted to hug her and comfort her, but she pushed him away. However, after only a moment's thought, he made his choice. He held Yui's small hand, looking at her with a face full of guilt, and said, "Yui... before... I lied to you... it was my fault. I know I was wrong. I will never lie to you again..." Yui's expression softened slightly upon hearing this. "But... Yui, I still..." "Yes... I still have to go find my master. Without my master... I... I don't know... how can I live... I can't see her... I can't hear her... She's not by my side... I... I'm so sad..." A-Yi murmured, head bowed. You-Yi stood there, her eyes lowered. After a moment, she ignored A-Yi and got up, walking out of the bedroom. A-Yi sat blankly on the edge of the bed, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, four black-armored guards burst in. Two of them grabbed A-Yi and dragged him out. A-Yi had felt extremely weak since waking up and had no strength to resist. He could only let the guards drag him to the main hall of the palace. You-Yi sat on a fox fur and ivory seat in the main hall, her back to A-Yi and the four guards. She coldly ordered, "Throw him back to his house and let him rest for three days. After three days, take him..." "Drive him out of Liuyuan City. Then issue an ultimatum to the twelve gatekeepers, forbidding him from ever setting foot in Liuyuan City again. Go."
The four guards responded in unison, but Ayi cried out in panic, "Youyi! This... why... why..." Forbidding him from entering Liuyuan City meant he would never see Youyi again. Thinking of this, Ayi became increasingly anxious and struggled desperately, calling out to Youyi loudly. But Youyi remained unmoved, merely waving her hand. The four guards dragged Ayi out of her palace and headed straight for the main gate. After Ayi was taken away, Youyi gave an order, and all the maids in the palace left, closing the palace gates tightly. Only when she was alone in the vast palace did she suddenly stand up, taking off the platinum bracelet on her wrist. She ripped it off, leaving a bloody mark on her wrist from the tiny metal fragments, but she paid no attention. She slammed the pale gold stone to the ground. The stone wasn't much harder than ordinary jade, and it shattered instantly. Yui watched the pale gold fragments shimmer, then turn to a lifeless gray after a few breaths. She couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly. For no reason, she recalled some past events. When her mother gave her this strange bracelet, she was overjoyed. She was only twelve years old then, and even though her looks hadn't fully blossomed, she was already surrounded by all sorts of suitors. Her mother, fearing she would be deceived, gave her the stone. At the time, she had mischievously asked her mother if, with this stone, her father would never dare to lie to her.
Her mother just shook her head with a wry smile, patted her head and said, "No, your father also often lies to me. It's just that after he knew I had the Decisive Stone, he would hide many things from me or make up excuses..."
At the time, she didn't understand why her father would lie to her mother, who was his only woman and whom he doted on. With such loyalty and love, why would he lie to her?
Until one day, a new queen appeared in the palace, and she seemed to understand something. Watching her mother gradually fall out of favor, while the new queen spent every day with her father and even gave birth to a prince, Yui couldn't help but complain bitterly to her mother. She said she hated her father, who had once promised to only dote on her and her mother for life—now all those promises were empty words. Her mother simply smiled, took her small hand, touched the promise stone bracelet on her wrist, and said with a deep gaze, seemingly unrelated to the question: "Yui, men inevitably lie to women. However, I hope that in the future, you will meet someone who will not deceive you or hide anything from you, and who will always truly love you. That way, you will be much happier than I am..." She
clearly remembered that her mother's eyes were glistening with tears, but she didn't want her to see them clearly, turning away to wipe them. For no apparent reason, Youyi recalled her mother's words and ran distraught to a side hall of the palace. Inside, her mother's portrait was enshrined. The woman in the portrait was dressed in luxurious clothes, with delicate features, and like any mother looking at her child, a warm smile graced her lips. Youyi knelt before the portrait, pouring out her joys and sorrows of the past few days to her mother, telling her that she had met such a person, yet she was still unhappy… However, looking at that gentle face, as she spoke, she could no longer bear it, burying her face in her arms like a little girl, and sobbing loudly alone in the empty palace…
