Otherworldly Evil Monarch

This was the only part that Jun Mo Xie couldn’t understand at all. From the way he saw it, her revealing herself would not do anything other than stir up more trouble and increase the danger to herself.

“You think that I wanted to come out? It’s just that I still owe you something, so if I didn’t come out at that time, I would no longer have that opportunity…” Miao Xiao Miao turned around and said in a light voice.

“Owe me something?” Jun Mo Xie raised his brows with confusion.

This time, Young Master Jun was not acting. He truly didn’t know what this Young Lady Miao meant.

“I’ve said before, that if you won the competition today, I would let you see my true appearance. You might have taken it to be a joke, but I meant it seriously…” Miao Xiao Miao’s voice sounded very soft and gentle, carrying a dreamy sense.

However, Jun Mo Xie still felt his mind shaken violently!

“At that time, I decided that even if both of us would die, I would honor my promise, to show you my true appearance before you died.” Miao Xiao Miao’s voice trembled slightly, as if she were repressing some kind of emotion. “That way, even if there was no saviour and the two of us died, I hoped that if there’s a next life, you will still be able to remember… my face…”

“Just so that if there’s a next life, you will not miss me and we will not pass each other by!” Miao Xiao Miao’s body shook, and she lifted her head to look at Jun Mo Xie with her eyes filled with tears.

If there’s a next life, we must not pass each other by!

Jun Mo Xie felt a violent bang in his heart…

Looking at the painful expression in Miao Xiao Miao’s eyes, he suddenly felt his heart softening…

In that instant, he seemed to recall a song playing in his ears… a melody from his past life.

I think that I should meet you in a different way… Even if we can’t be together in this life… I’m willing to wait until my next life… to be with you… You will develop renewed feelings for me… and I will silently pray to the heavens to be careful with you… not letting your looks change… Whether you are in a bustling city or a remote village… I will recognize you at a glance… ¹

Such a deep love; how can I bear it!

At this time, Jun Mo Xie’s heart was heavy, as if it were filled with lead…

Jun Mo Xie raised his head towards the sky and sighed heavily. In that moment, his throat felt dry and parched, and his heart was incredibly complicated. Looking at the deep emotions in Miao Xiao Miao’s eyes, facing this girl that had not hesitated to jump out to face life and death with him… these feelings that refused to pass on even though she had to confront certain death…

Jun Mo Xie’s heart was currently in a mess!

“But your veil… is not something I can lift.” Jun Mo Xie turned his head and said bitterly. “Your true appearance… is also not something that I can see…”

“Since when did the confident number one genius of the world suddenly become so humble and lacking in self confidence? Do you really look down on yourself so much, Great Prodigy Mo?” Hearing the rejection in his voice, Miao Xiao Miao smiled lightly. In the wispy coldness of the night, she seemed like a sad elf, standing still as the winds tugged at the corners of her dress.

Her dress fluttering lightly, Miao Xiao Miao stepped forward lightly, as if she were treading upon the moonlight, slowly approaching Jun Mo Xie. There was basically no distance between them, and the two’s bodies were almost sticking tightly together. Both sides could feel the warmth from the other’s breath…

“Look at me! Look at me!” Indescribable passion flashed in Miao Xiao Miao’s eyes.

Jun Mo Xie leaned back with great effort, barely extending the distance between the two of them. Finally, he lifted his head and looked at those pair of beautiful eyes in front of him.

“You said that you couldn’t lift my veil, and you cannot see my true appearance… but do you know?” Miao Xiao Miao’s eyes trembled bitterly. “You’ve already lifted the veil of my heart long ago. Apart from you, no one else can see the real me…”

Jun Mo Xie couldn’t say anything, and a sour feeling rose in his heart…

“Us girls of the Misty Illusory Manor can only lift our veils for one person in our entire lives.” Miao Xiao Miao’s words had become more heated as her tone steeled with reckless abandon. “Mo Jun Ye, lift the veil!”

Jun Mo Xie’s body shook visibly.

Jun Mo Xie could easily face tens of thousands of enemies without a change of expression, even when he was facing the relentless hatred of the three Holy Lands back then with just his strength of Sky Xuan or Spirit Xuan. He could kill tens of millions of people mercilessly without so much as a tiny bit of tremble in his hands!

But in this moment, facing this clear and bright pair of eyes, he was somewhat at a loss of what to do as he looked at the veil which seemed as if it would fly off by itself with a stronger gust of wind!

For the first time, his eyes grew uncertain.

He didn’t dare to. He truly didn’t dare to take the next step forward. What was standing in front of him was a debt of blood and a debt on his conscience! Jun Mo Xie had come here only for the Seven Colored Holy Fruit. One could say that his intentions were not good. Even the face he was wearing right now was not his real identity.

Without a doubt, Miao Xiao Miao had been thoroughly deceived of her feelings!

Everything that Jun Mo Xie did, he only sought to have a clear conscience. But could he really say that his conscience was clear right now?

Perhaps one day, he might even become enemies with the Misty Illusory Manor because of the Rainbow Holy Tree…

At that time, whose side would Miao Xiao Miao stand on?

These feelings were not something that Jun Mo Xie could accept!

However… Miao Xiao Miao’s persistence and boldness to love and hate had truly vastly exceeded his expectations!

“Remove it!!” Miao Xiao Miao bit her lip lightly and stared unblinkingly at Jun Mo Xie, without any intention of retreating. Instead, she took yet another step forward!

Jun Mo Xie could not help but take a step backwards!

“You refuse to remove it?” Miao Xiao Miao’s eyes hardened. “Fine! Since you will not remove my veil, I will do it myself! Mo Jun Ye, you’d better remember this; ever since I, Miao Xiao Miao, have grown up, you are the first man that has ever seen my true appearance! In this life… I’m following you no matter what! A human in life, and a ghost in death… I’ve decided to be yours!”

Jun Mo Xie opened and closed his mouth, his mind whirring with shock. He subconsciously raised his hand to stop her, but Miao Xiao Miao’s hands shot up with great speed, and with a shua sound, the veil fluttered down gently. Before he could react, the veil was already in her hands.

Although Miao Xiao Miao’s face appeared calm, but her fingers had already turned white from gripping the veil too hard.

Jun Mo Xie felt his mind spinning, and he shut his eyes uncontrollably!

Because, the face in front of him was actually so peerlessly beautiful and exquisite!

Her brows was like a pair of beautiful mountains enveloped by the darkness of night; her eyes, as clear and bright as spring water. That pointy little nose, and long eyelashes, skin as fair as jade, lips of cherry and a sharp chin…

If Mei Xue Yan’s beauty could be considered elegant, poised and classy; Guan Qing Han was like an ice princess, cold and untouchable; Dugu Xiao Yi cute and girly, then Miao Xiao Miao was simply exquisite! Refined and exquisite without the slightest flaw!

Even an artist who sought perfection would never be able to find a hint of flaw on that face! Because that face was the epitome of perfection! The coordination of the five features were just right to an extremely accurate level…

Miao Xiao Miao’s face slowly reddened, as if someone had suddenly applied a layer of rouge on her cheeks… Her gaze had become misty, carrying a strange shyness. Her long lashes fluttered in an anxious manner, and after a long pause, she mumbled. “Idiot… have you looked enough? How long do you want to stare at me for…”

“I… I didn’t see anything!” Jun Mo Xie hurriedly shut his eyes and shook his head repeatedly. “I didn’t see anything! Really didn’t see anything!”

“But you did! And you know best yourself whether you’ve seen it.” At this time, Miao Xiao Miao no longer cared about her image as a girl as she stomped her feet, not knowing if she should laugh or be angry. “Mo Jun Ye, you’re trying to be deliberately shameless! Even if you want to back out, you’ve still seen my face! In this lifetime, I’m sticking to you! I’m a person of your Mo Family in life, and a ghost of your Mo Family in death!”

Jun Mo Xie made a strange sobbing sound in his throat, and he stuttered in a panicked voice as though he was about to start crying. “I… I’ll be beaten to death, I’ll definitely be beaten to death! I’m finished… truly finished…”

“Who dares!” Miao Xiao Miao snorted with rage. “Whoever dares to beat you, I’ll beat that person up!”

After saying that, she smiled shyly and looked at Jun Mo Xie. “Husband, don’t worry, my Grandpa and Father dote on me the most. If there’s nobody whom my heart desires, they might still marry me off for the sake of the family… But if I already… I already… they will most likely consent to the two of us. Moreover, you have the support of the Misty Illusory Manor. I’m sure Grandpa and Father will be happy to see us together…”

“What? I’m not worried about your grandfather or your father…” Jun Mo Xie said in an anxious voice, nearly bursting into tears. “I’m worried about my… mom…” Only when the words came out of his mouth did he remember: the person whom he had the least need to worry about was probably his mother…

Dongfang Wen Xin only wished that Jun Mo Xie could marry a few more back home for her… with regards to a matter like this, she would be more than glad to fan the flames. The ones he was truly worried about was Mei Xue Yan and Guan Qing Han…

With just a mere thought, he could already imagine the wrath of the icy cold mountain-like beauty and the dominating anger of a queen… Jun Mo Xie felt as if he had been caught in bed with a mistress. In that moment, all the hairs on his skin stood up on their ends and he shivered in spite of the warmth.

“Give me a bit of time, alright?” Jun Mo Xie sighed and said in a defeated manner.

“Of course.” Only now, did Miao Xiao Miao feel her face burning up. Lowering her head, she did not dare look at Jun Mo Xie anymore. Her voice had become as soft as a mosquito’s as she mumbled, “Husband… as long as you… I will definitely wait for you…”

Jun Mo Xie sighed heavily in his heart, and he felt his heart growing sour again with pain…

The night’s wind was cold and gentle, blowing lightly across the land.

The two stood across from each other, both with their heads lowered, neither speaking a single word.

At this time, Jun Mo Xie’s heart was in chaos, while Miao Xiao Miao’s heart was bursting with joy and shyness. It felt like the relaxation of finishing a whole day of work, her whole body bereft of strength… a strange feeling that she could collapse at any time…
