Black Bellied Belle: Demon Lord, Bite The Bait Please Chapter 31.3: Ninth Princess Xin Yan

Yue Xin Yan laughed, her eyes turned to slits with smile. “Something so funny can really happen! ?”

She continued chatting with Ah Jin outside about this and that while Qing Ye Li went into the Imperial Study.

“Everytime I come, I see you buried in a pile of memorials.”

Yue Mu Chen raised his head and saw the man coming in. He then stood up from his chair. “You’re here. Sit.”

Hearing that, Qing Ye Li sat on a chair at the side.

Yue Mu Chen poured out a cup of tea for the man and his gaze measured the man up. “You’ve become stronger indeed. Compared to seven years ago, I am unable to get a grasp of your aura at all now.”

“If not for your ill health which makes your body unable to withstand the pressure, you will not be doing any worse.” Qing Ye Li said indifferently.

Yue Mu Chen was, among all the people he had met, the man whose mind was the most resolute and surpassing intelligence.

The Water Edge Kingdom’s ruler was a weak bodied walking medicine bottle who did not possess a high level of cultivation, but no one dared to slight him in anyway. His brain was one that no normal person’s could ever compare to and if he had the ambition, ruling over the entire lands would just be a matter of time.

But alas, his heart was at peace and content with his life and from young, he had never held any especially deep yearning towards any particular matter or person, where even when he assumed the crown, it was just a matter of acceding to the people’s wishes.

All this while, he had been too tired.

“I only wish to be able to do something more for Water Edge while I am still alive.” Yue Mu Chen smiled gently, and then went on to say a little regretfully: “But with this tattered body I have, I do not know how many more years I will be able to last, and whether I will even be able to leave behind a heir is a tough task.”

Although his Imperial Harem was not filled with thousands of beauties like was the norm, but there was still quite a number of Imperial Concubines. It was just that he had never gone to their chambers before.

He knew his own situation very well and he did not want to give those woman hope and for it to finally turn to disappointment.

Qing Ye Li’s eyes darkened. “If Xin Yan is to hear that, she will be sad.”

“That is why I have never said it in front of her. That lass might seem heartlessly callous, but she cares for me the most.” Yue Mu Chen could hear the young lady’s joyous voice outside, and his face was filled with doting indulgence.

“Don’t be so pessimistic.” Qing Ye Li expression under his mask seemed to change, and the man who never showed any emotion on his face then parted his lips slightly to say: “I am looking for a person. If I can find her, then you will definitely be able to regain the health of your body.”

Yue Mu Chen was stunned for a moment. “What did….. you say?”

For his body, a countless number of famed alchemists across the lands have all almost deemed it to be condemned, and could only use elixirs to keep him hanging, with no way of curing him completely.

A weak and sickly body carried out from a mother’s womb was hard to treat.

But….. What has he just heard?

His body can be saved? !

Yue Mu Chen could almost not believe what he had just heard. “Ye Li, is what you said really true? My body….. really can be cured?”

“Mm.” Qing Ye Li nodded. “That person’s skills in Medicine is very good, and the alchemists throughout the lands are not even one tenth as good.”

Yue Mu Chen was rather surprised. Ye Li seldom had such high praise for anyone and a guess seemed to form up in his heart. “Could that person….. possibly be from the same world you were from?”

“Yes.” When Qing Ye Li thought of that person, his green eyes softened. He knew, that that girl was still alive, and no matter where she was, the day would come where he would find her.

He had so many words he had not been able to say in time to her, and he wanted to tell them all to her.

In the past, he had not dared to say them.

But after having been separated by death before, he thought that he should let her know.

That he had always….. cared for only one person….. Only for her.
