Chapter 220 - Understanding Bai Rouyun
As soon as Li Moyun had made his decision to leave the continent, he had wanted to rush to Bai Rouyun’s side to speak with her. He had not taken any unnecessary breaks, and all he had in his mind was to see his little wife.
By the time he stood outside their manor, he finally felt uncomfortable. His speed had slowed what he slowly came to a halt. His heart was beating rapidly, and he could not help but admit that he was scared.
He had made his decision without speaking with her about it. He was going to leave her for an extended amount of time. She was naturally going to be unhappy.
His mind knew that this was important. That he needed to do this, but his heart was aching. He could not bear to see his wife suffer even the slightest injustice, and now he was going to leave her behind while moving ahead on his own.
Would she feel abandoned again? The fear was taking root in his heart, and his hand trembled as he slowly pushed open the front door.
Taking a deep breath, the young man gathered his worries and threw them at the back of his head. As soon as the door was opened, he heard the cheerful laughter of Bai Rouyun, followed by some low voices of Mo Chu and Qin Huiling.
It was clear that Mo Chu had asked Qin Huiling to entertain Bai Rouyun in an attempt at making her less tense while waiting for her husband’s return.
Li Moyun felt his heart tighten when he heard the soft and bell-like laughter. He moved as if he was in a trance, and soon he found himself right next to Bai Rouyun.
The experts from the Golden Dragon Clan had not entered the man alongside Li Moyun. They understood that this was a matter between a husband and wife and that they were not suitable to participate.
Bai Rouyun had noticed Li Moyun as soon as he got into view, but she could not help but feel somewhat worried as she noticed the vacant expression in his eyes.
"Are you okay?" The soft voice of Bai Rouyun dragged Li Moyun from his thoughts, and a helpless smile surfaced on his face.
"I am okay," he said gently. He glanced at Mo Chu, who instantly understood his thoughts and led Qin Huiling out of the room.
Bai Rouyun could sense that he had something to discuss with her, and she patiently stayed in her seat as she looked at the handsome man move to her side and sit down beside her.
"I met Xiao Long’s Dao Protectors." Li Moyun was not sure of how to explain his decision to her, but he knew that it had to be said, so he slowly began explaining what had happened.
"The Dao Protectors are from the Golden Dragon Clan. They belong to the Wushi Continent, and their King happens to be that tiny dragon you picked up.
"They want him to return to the Wushi Continent to inherit his position and inheritance. Xiao Long and I have a contract. While it is possible for him to leave on his own, he will become much weaker. It will not help him when digesting his new power, and it might lead to his death if he gets involved in some internal power struggles.
"Xiao Long offered to stay here alongside us, but he would lose much if he does."
Bai Rouyun looked deeply at Li Moyun. She understood this man. If he had decided to stay within the Prison Continent, he would never have told her the sacrifices made by him and Xiao Long, so this could only mean that they had decided to leave.
The sudden realization made her lose her breath, but she quickly adjusted her breathing before allowing Li Moyun to notice anything.
It would, at any other time, have been impossible to hide such emotional turmoil from Li Moyun, but right now, he was not completely sober. The fear was overwelming him, holding a tight grip on his heart.
After being silent for some time, the words he did not want to say finally spilled from his lips.
"Dear, I am taking Xiao Long to the Wushi Continent together with these experts from the Golden Dragon Clan. I know that you will enter the Wushi Continent at some point. When that happens, I do not want you to put all your hope on the Bai family. I am going to build a second Eternal Shadow Palace in the Wushi Continent. I will wait for my beloved wife to reunite with me up there."
Bai Rouyun could not help but feel the tears well up in her eyes. She knew that the final decision was made for her sake. Although she was reluctant to separate, she was not unreasonable.
Also, Bai Rouyun was no longer the insecure young expert who had no one to depend on. As she looked at Li Moyun, her eyes displayed her sincere and deep-rooted love for the other party.
"I will come and find you." She looked into those black eyes that always gave her a sense of security, and the determination and power in her eyes made Li Moyun feel relieved.
She was truly different from any other woman he had ever met. She was willing to fight hard for the future, but she was also willing to accept the pampering and care that Li Moyun wished to give her.
Although she felt somewhat uncomfortable, she understood that this was merely temporary. She did not worry about their feelings cooling during the separation, but she still felt sad that they would have to part.
