Realms In The Firmament - Chapter 423

Chapter 423
"I was starving . Even if it was poisonous and I knew it, I would eat it . It was better to die full than die hungry . After eating that fruit, I felt full of energy . The wounds was cured . I got up and found that there was another fruit on the other side . That one was black . "


"I was cured and my cultivation capability was improved a great deal . I easily climbed up to get the other fruit and returned to my sect . I told my master about it, then my master told me that I got the Yin Yang Fruits . I ate the Yang Fruit and didn’t take the other one . That was my good luck…"
"In the three months after that, I digested all the energy from the Yang Fruit . I became invincible in my sect . Even my master and the elders in the sect couldn’t defeat me . I had digested all the energy from the Yang Fruit . I was level 8 of Earth Origin Stage . I became one of the top league…"
"I couldn’t wait, so I left the mountain . It was less than three years yet… I wanted to find Rou-Er and tell her that I was already a superior cultivator . I was a big figure in the martial world… The only thing I wanted was to tell her that I could give her safety, I could give her a bright future, but I wouldn’t marry her! She didn’t deserve me! I wanted to call her superficial woman…"
"But… The day when I went back…" Zhao Pingtian took in a deep breath . Tears in his eyes nearly dropped down .
"When I went back home… My father told me that Rou-Er was dead… Seven days before I was back . The day I went back home was the seventh day from Rou-Er’s death…"
He turned silent and lowered his head .
- Drip . - A drop of tear dripped into his jar!
"My father told me the everything about that day . I got to know the truth . I never had thought it would be like that… Before the wedding, Rou-Er had a strange disease . She started to lose hair, and then she became weaker and weaker… She had seen some famous doctors . It was Jing Mai Necrosis… It was incurable . The only thing she could do was to become weaker and weaker until… until she died… with extreme pain…"
"When Rou-Er knew she got such a disease, she came up with a plan to force me to leave… She didn’t want me to see her suffer . She knew if I knew the truth, I would never leave her… I would marry her… But she didn’t want to be my burden… She would rather kept be living in lies…"
"If I stayed at my hometown, I would definitely find out…"
"That was why she asked her cousin’s help, to put on a play… She wanted me to leave, to practice martial art… She made a three years term, because she knew that she would die in three years… As long as nobody told me the truth, I would just live well with hatred . She preferred I hated her my whole life, than I living in misery…"
"She didn’t know that I went back half a year earlier and got to know everything…"
"She thought that… As time passed by, even if I knew the truth, I would have forgotten her already… She hoped that I would marry a good girl… and have a good life… Rou-Er, my Rou-Er…"
Tears on his face .


"My father said… Before Rou-Er died, she had suffered so much that she barely looked like a human being . When she died, she was less than twenty kilogram weight… The last thing she said before she died…"

Zhao Pingtian choked with sobs . "She said… I miss my Brother Tian… I miss him so much… I miss him so bad… But… Please… Please don’t tell him about this…"
"She didn’t forget it even before she died . She didn’t want to hurt my feeling… Even though she had to let me hate her for my life…"
"If I could go back home seven days earlier, maybe I could see her for the last time… However, I was seven days late . What I could see was nothing but a pile of dirt… I lost the chance to see her again forever!"
"I ran out like a madman and ran to her tomb . I went to see her . I wanted to see her . I wanted to marry her . I don’t care what she becomes . I want her to be my wife… Even for one day! One day is enough!"
"When I got there… All I could see was a small grave mound . There was even no grass on it yet . I was just late for several days! What I could see was only a pile of dirt . My Rou-Er . My Rou-Er . She suffered so much . Now she lies in there, buried… She didn’t even see me when she died . She still worried that I would be sad if I knew the truth . She wanted me to live in lies to have a happy life…"
"I could feel… How she suffered for the two years… I could imagine how much she missed me, how much she wanted to see me, how much she wanted my comfort . But I… All I had for her was hatred . I never went home… Every time when I thought of her, I felt hate… When she died, she must be so lonely…"


"She was my beloved one! I am such an asshole . I don’t deserve her . I don’t! I don’t!" Zhao Pingtian weeped, but he looked wooden . It must be extremely painful for him .
Only when one felt excruciating pain would he feel like this .
His heart was broken!
Ye Xiao sighed deeply . He felt sour in the nose .
He was moved . He had always been calm and steady, yet he was touched!
He slowly looked up and looked at the grey fog . The gentle and soft girl was looking at Zhao Pingtian obsessively . She was so concentrated, like nothing else mattered in her eyes . All she could see was Zhao Pingtian . Only Zhao Pingtian…
She reached her hand, wanting to wipe the tears on Zhao Pingtian . Her pretty hand went through his face . He didn’t feel anything . She was heartbroken . She kept touching his hair, but he didn’t feel anything at all…
Two true lovers, thinking about each other, yet couldn’t communicate, on two sides of a partition!
The Yin World and the Yang World were exactly blocked by such a partition!
No matter what people did to break it, it never worked .
"What then?" Ye Xiao asked .
