Chapter 90

Xie Fuzhi looked at Yun Chuyou in confusion and defended himself, saying, "Chuyou, what secrets could I possibly have? I have nothing to hide from you!"

The secret he had kept from Yun Chuyou before was his true identity. Now that Yun Chuyou knew he was a phoenix, they had been together every day since the Grand Competition of the Hundred Clans, and had hardly been apart. What secrets could he have?

Seeing Yun Chuyou silent, Xie Fuzhi smiled and said, "Chuyou, are you trying to trick me? Are you trying to scare me?"

Yun Chuyou said, "I saw your past in the Fate Mirror, and I also saw your future."

As she spoke, the sky flashed with lightning and thunder, as if the heavens were blocking something. However, the thunder only looked frightening and showed no sign of coming down.

Since I have already been struck by the crueler Transmigration lightning, as long as I can speak, Yun Chuyou doesn’t want to keep it all inside.

"I see you have gone through many of those futures, once, twice… a hundred times…" She closed her eyes briefly, her voice rough like a rusty gear. "I saw it, there were exactly nine hundred and ninety-nine times, and each time, you felt so much pain…"

Xie Fuzhi’s smile suddenly froze. He did not expect the secret Yun Chuyou spoke of to be this.

This was indeed his greatest secret, and it was a secret he planned to bury in his heart forever. Who could he share such a thing with? Even if someone believed him, they would never truly understand. Speaking it out loud would only bring him more troubles, like suffering all over again.

But Yun Chuyou would never lie about such things. Xie Fuzhi’s voice trembled, "Chuyou… so many times… did you see all of them?"

His expression also turned anxious, his fingertips trembling from being too tense.

The phoenix’s feathers all showed signs of fear, looking as if it might break into pieces, "Chuyou, I am not what you think… Please, don’t hate me!"

No one wants to show their ugly side in front of someone they love. Xie Fuzhi knew that he was twisted and ugly in the rebirth, mad and insane.

He feared seeing the fear and disgust on Yun Chuyou’s face. He also feared that in a moment of panic, his internal demon would take over and he might accidentally hurt his beloved.

Xie Fuzhi did not want to hurt her, but he also did not want to face the scene of being rejected. When a person does not want to confront something, they will instinctively choose to escape.

But before he could run away, Yun Chuyou quickly grabbed Xie Fuzhi and pulled the fragile phoenix into her arms.

She had many things she wanted to say, but at that moment, actions spoke louder than words. She only held Xie Fuzhi tightly, squeezing him with all her strength to share her feelings.

Breathing in the familiar scent, Xie Fuzhi was soon comforted, but his fingers still clutched Yun Chuyou’s sleeve tightly, afraid that all of this was just a dream.

After a while, Xie Fuzhi finally calmed down from that awful state, "Chuyou, you don’t dislike me, right?"

Yun Chuyou retorted, "Xie Fuzhi, why would I ever dislike you? Knowing this, I only feel heartbroken."

Seeing his emotions settle down, she said playfully, "What do you really think of me? Did you really just run away in fright? Do you think I am a fierce tiger that would eat you up?"

After saying that, she playfully opened her mouth and playfully nipped Xie Fuzhi’s cheek, leaving a clear teeth mark on his soft face.

This was because Xie Fuzhi had let down his guard; otherwise, with his true phoenix form, Yun Chuyou wouldn’t have left any trace on him, even if she had bitten down hard.

Xie Fuzhi is a phoenix, the king of all birds, and he isn’t really afraid of tigers, but he is afraid of making Yun Chuyou angry.

He was ready for a piece of his flesh to be bitten off, but Yun Chuyou only gave him a gentle nibble. Feeling her care, he smiled foolishly.

Yun Chuyou flicked his forehead, "How dare you laugh! Who are you laughing at? Where do you think you can run to? Even if you run for ten or twenty years, it will still be a hundred years!"

"I wouldn’t run that far!" Xie Fuzhi’s cheeks turned red. "I was just too scared, afraid that you wouldn’t want me, and I got confused for a moment."

Unable to hold back, Yun Chuyou reached out and pinched the beautiful phoenix’s beak, making it look like a chick’s, "Stop overthinking. Just say whatever is bothering you. If you keep guessing and worrying, it will only lead to misunderstandings and make you unhappy for no reason."

"Did you hear what I said?"

The latter nodded seriously, "I heard!"

With his beak pinched, he used his spirit to communicate with Yun Chuyou, afraid she might misunderstand and not see his sincerity.

She truly cared for Xie Fuzhi, so she only pinched him for a moment before letting go, "It’s okay, I’m always here."

Xie Fuzhi knew she liked his gentle and weak side, so he openly showed his sadness, "Chuyou, it really hurts when I die…"

Though he was a man, in front of his lover, the proud phoenix could completely throw away all his pride, and a single tear fell from his beautiful eyes.

When Xie Fuzhi cried, he looked extremely beautiful; it wasn’t just tears streaming down his cheeks, but large drops of tears fell like sparkling crystals, hitting Yun Chuyou’s hand like precious raindrops, making him look very touching and lovely.

As Xie Fuzhi thought of painful memories, he was truly heartbroken. Seeing him about to cry out of breath, Yun Chuyou decided to use an unconventional method to pull this silly phoenix out of such a terrible state.

She kissed away his tears, kissed his high and straight nose, his thin lips, and his moving Adam’s apple…

After having a meal of phoenix meat, quickly cooked and stir-fried, the moist phoenix was dried by the steam, and its wilted feathers spread out.

Luckily, Yun Chuyou’s skills had improved, or else with Xie Fuzhi’s excitement and nonstop wild energy, she would have been drained completely.

"Do you still think I dislike you?"

Xie Fuzhi happily shook his head, "Not at all."

"Don’t do those silly things anymore; killing them won’t help at all."

Although the heroine is the darling of this world, she is not a selfish or cold-hearted bad child. Her character truly deserves to be the main character; she just hasn’t grown strong enough, so she can’t change anything.

Xie Fuzhi nodded, "I won’t."

He used to be so reckless, just wanting to end this cycle, but he no longer feels that way. With Chuyou in this life, he would never do such a thing.

The current script has changed a lot because of Yun Chuyou’s presence.

And it is different from before; previously, when he changed many things, that unseen force would push everything back to how it was.

But with Yun Chuyou here, what’s changed is truly changed.

But thinking of that outcome, Xie Fuzhi became nervous again, "Chuyou, I’ve waited nine hundred ninety-nine times; I finally waited for you. What will I do if you die?"

He has gone through the cycle a thousand times, but only this time did he meet Yun Chuyou. If those thousand times were all parallel versions of himself, only this world’s version is lucky.

But this luck does not mean forever. Xie Fuzhi wanted to blend Yun Chuyou into his very being; he was already deeply enchanted, and Yun Chuyou was his remedy that made him appear somewhat normal.

Without Chuyou, he would surely wish he were dead.
