The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 852 - 469: Dream Come True (Part 2)

Just after completing these few movements, the thick triple-layered curtain of the carriage was lifted from the outside. The chilling wind immediately invaded this small warm space, and storming in with the snow was the infuriated Tantai Yi. He slammed the table with a "bang." If he hadn’t consciously restrained his strength, this poor table would have been shattered to pieces.

"Ning Xiaoxian!" he said through clenched teeth, "Is this the trap you set for me?"

Ning Xiaoxian put down the book in her hand, glanced him up and down several times before frowning, "What trap?"

Tantai Yi emerged hurriedly dressed, with a flush that hadn’t faded from his face and a large expanse of solid chest revealed at the neckline, making him appear both untamed and carefree, exuding the charm of a mature man. Truly a seasoned handsome uncle, Ning Xiaoxian thought, no wonder Hu Huoer is fond of him. But such thoughts dare not show on her face, for not only is Tantai Yi on the verge of an outburst, but if the big jealous jar in the God Demon Prison were to perceive her thoughts, it would be truly terrifying.

Tantai Yi, with a grim face, said each word slowly, "From beginning to end, it’s you who set the trap! The carriage, the carriage, the drug on Huo’er, is also you!"

She replied discontentedly, "Brother Tantai, in the middle of the night, you storm into a girl’s carriage just to say this nonsensical gibberish?"

Tantai Yi placed the gourd on the table, opened the cork, and the scent of osmanthus wafted out. "This wine, you gave it. This aroma, has an aphrodisiac effect!" He’s not foolish; after regaining his senses earlier, he felt that something was amiss, so he asked a few questions while Hu Huoer was in a stupor, and indeed heard the name of the mastermind. "Just now, Huo’er clearly told me, it’s you who laid the trap!"

Sister, I planned and worked so you could bed the man you desire, yet you couldn’t keep your mouth shut; is it true that best friends are meant to be betrayed? She secretly grumbled in her heart but leaned back with a smile, "Ah, she sold me out. Fine, I admit, it was me. What do you plan to do?"

Her confession was abrupt and without denial, leaving Tantai Yi momentarily stunned; he only tightened his iron fist and said, "You..." Having rushed out, he only thought of settling scores with Ning Xiaoxian, but as for how to settle them, this normally composed man hadn’t actually thought it through and was now unluckily stuck.

Ning Xiaoxian looked at his fist, sneering, "What do you mean ’you’? You’re squeezing that fist so tight, planning to hit me? Hit your future wife’s good friend?"

This last sentence made Tantai Yi freeze. Indeed, even though this little girl set a trap that brought them together, ultimately in matters of male and female intimacy, he gained the advantage. Besides, the rice has already been cooked; what can he do with her now, punch her to death? Not to mention this girl’s combat skills are no less than his; moreover, Hu Huoer would never allow him to do such a thing.

He only felt his mind was in chaos, knowing this matter was highly inappropriate, but how to deal with the woman before him, he had no solution.

Ning Xiaoxian spoke before him, "Tonight’s setup was initially a test. When Xu Liangyu took Sister Huo’er away, if you hadn’t followed, I would have known you intended to live out your life lonely and wouldn’t meddle anymore, instead advising Huo’er to give up; but you chased after her, evidently your heart is already deeply rooted in affection for her, unable to sever, unable to let go, yet still pretending to be indifferent, causing her heartbreak every day, unbearable pain."

"Tantai Yi, people like you are truly detestable!"

Tantai Yi lowered his gaze, somewhat bewildered.

"Now Sister Huo’er has fulfilled her wish, you’ve obtained the person of your dreams; isn’t this a cause for celebration? What grievances do you have to express to me?" Ning Xiaoxian looked at him sympathetically, shook her head, "At this moment, shouldn’t you be by her side, speaking gently? Or do you want to return to that former distant and cold relationship, one chasing, one fleeing? She’s pursued you unconditionally for how many years, and in that same duration, how many years has she been the subject of mockery by outsiders; do you never consider her feelings?"

Tantai Yi angrily said, "What do you, an outsider, know? I and her, I and her cannot be together!" Finally unable to hold back, he slammed the table with his palm.

The wooden table shattered with a snap into powder.

"Impossible?" Ning Xiaoxian looked at him as if he were a scoundrel, "Possible or impossible, that’s your business. As long as you both care nothing for her purity, her feelings are what matter. Haha, possible or impossible, why not tell her yourself?" With that, she raised her hand, and the heavy carriage curtain automatically rolled up, revealing the figure standing outside in flaming red.

When Tantai Yi turned to look, he was suddenly rendered speechless. Earlier, in his fury, he hadn’t noticed her arrival.

How long had she been standing here, what had she heard?

He doesn’t want her. Hu Huoer gazed at him dazedly, the scorching tears in her eyes had yet to fall down her cheeks before they froze into ice. All her tender emotions and affections transformed into icy desolation. It turns out this man’s heart is just like those frozen tears; she could never warm it.

She clearly heard the sound of her heart breaking.

"Tantai Yi, from now on, we have no relation." She lowered her head, not looking at him, and softly spoke, "You are free." Silently she turned her back, summoned a magic artifact, and left the ground.

Tantai Yi looked as if struck by lightning, unable to utter a word.

Such a melodramatic late-night soap opera plot. Ning Xiaoxian silently scoffed in her heart, couldn’t help but lightly cough, "Aren’t you going to chase after her?"

He was still in a daze, showing no reaction. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

She picked up the book from the ground again, calmly said, "When we made this plan, Sister Huo’er said, if in the end you are truly heartless. Then, she asks only for one night."

Tantai Yi’s eyes finally shifted to her, slowly reddening, "What did you say?" (To be continued.
