Chapter 331.1: Soul Returns
That person’s smiley disposition, seemed to cast a warm sun into her cold lonely soul, catching the young girl off guard.
Unexpectedly….. she was not repulsed by it.
The love her strict grandfather showed her was always accompanied with endless blood and tears. Although he was her closest blood kin, the young and puerile little girl could not help but feel sad and dejected around him.
And the man’s appearance had undoubtedly quickly made up for the longing for affection from kin that she had envisioned.
It was always so easy to start to rely on a person and to like them.
She started to let down her wariness and her heart’s defences that she had put up for so many years, and came to truly see this man as her real elder brother, to treat him as an important and treasured kin.
Till the day she turned sixteen, the day she was to undergo her coming of age ceremony.
From being just a clean good looking youth, that person had grown to become a man. No matter in terms of looks or the way he carried himself, he had changed dramatically.
It was probably because they had been close for such a long time and were too familiar with each other that she did not notice it at all. Even the youth that she had brought back was seemingly trying to hint to her about it.
She might very well have noticed something before, but she was still unwilling to admit it, not wanting to face up to it.
Till one fine day, where the man told her that he had a surprise for her.
He had said, from them onwards, she would not have to suffer so much anymore, as he would help her shoulder everything.
She had been mystified at that time, not understanding the meaning behind those words when she then found herself slumping limply onto the table before her, unable to summon up the slightest bit of strength at all.
The man in front of her with his handsome and genteel face then gently carried her up before putting her down on the bed. It was only at that moment that she finally came to realize something as she fought to keep her increasingly blurry sight open, and her heart filled up with pure and utter disbelief.
He laughed softly and said: “Do not be afraid. From today onwards, Qing Qing will come to belong to me. We will be together forever, as we walk on the path towards great power.”
A light soft kiss then fell on her forehead, earnest and sincere.
But even though she was unable to move her body at all, unable to gather up any strength at that moment, she was still able to feel the immense surge of unease rising up inside.
She had never ever thought that the relationship between the two of them would become like that.
A person that she had seen as an elder brother for so many years, was now doing things that someone with that identity should never do to her.
In that instant, she felt as if she had fallen right into a glacial pit, her body turned icy cold, losing all temperature.
However, his voice still came to sound in her ears.
