Chapter 1630 - Five Years
The ribbon around Fei Yue’s right leg was the same one Jiang Chen had used before. He didn’t know why she still had it.
Fei Yue was standing motionless. She didn’t seem to be aware of her visitor’s presence at all.
Jiang Chen started to walk closer to her and saw her head move slightly.
Then Fei Yue raised her head abruptly. The demonic energy inside her body focused in her face, looking ferocious.
Jiang Chen recognized the face. It was the old Emperor of the Xia Dynasty.
“Jiang Chen! How dare you come to see my daughter again? Do you really want Fei Yue to be obsessed with the enemy who killed her own father?” The Xia Emperor roared at Jiang Chen.
Fei Yue’s body shook violently. Her pretty face was pale and bloodless.
“You don’t exist. You’re only formed by Fei Yue’s guilt and negative feelings.”
Just as Fei Yue was calming herself down, she was distracted.
The person she held dearest in her memory liked to wear clothes in such a fashion.
The style was always simple, yet the fabric had to be made from cotton of the best quality.
“Could it be him coming back?”
While she was still thinking, the door was pushed open. A tall figure walked in.
With the sun shining brightly behind him, his face was cast in shadow, obscured.
Nonetheless, Fei Yue recognized the person immediately. She pulled the blanket up to her chest out of instinct.
“You’re awake.”
Holding a tray full of savory dishes, Jiang Chen said, “You need to eat like an ordinary person in the following days. To make sure you won’t be poisoned by elixirs again, you can’t use spiritual energy or elixirs as supplements anymore.”
Fei Yue had been so severely poisoned from elixirs that her body still had remnants of them, even though the toxins were already almost completely cleansed by Jiang Chen.
Fei Yue was now even more susceptible to being poisoned again because her body had been weakened.
“Oh.” Fei Yue felt an indescribable emotion. She had too many questions to ask, yet didn’t know how to start.
“For example, why was she wearing his clothes?”
“Or, how had she become normal again?”
“When did you come back?” Fei Yue took the food and asked Jiang Chen, her eyes looking down.
“Yesterday.”
“How long was I confined?”
“Almost five years.”
“Five years?”
Fei Yue raised her head with shock on her face and tears in her eyes. She said, “I’ve been possessed and tortured, living like a half-human half-demon for five full years, yet you only came back yesterday?”
Her voice was filled with sorrow and disappointment.
“It’s my fault.” Jiang Chen apologized and said, “I faced some hardships as well.”
He then told his story briefly.
He had made plenty of enemies after he’d left the Three Lower Realms and began his conquests. The gravest peril had come from the Wizard Race. Unable to deal with him directly, the Wizard Race had threatened to go to kill his friends and family living in the Realm of Nine Heavens.
After that, Jiang Chen couldn’t risk coming back to the Flying Dragon Dynasty. He had to act as if he disparaged it since he had already achieved more than enough fame and success here.
“Then, what about my clothes?” Fei Yue asked after listening to Jiang Chen’s stories.
