Chenglei saw the arrow that seemed to be translucent and made of water coming straight at him and he just stood there wondering what Xing might be thinking and he realised that Prince Kang was right behind him and that arrow is for him.Xing even in her wrath knew that Chenglei would move from the path of the arrow and as she expected Chenglei prepared to move and the arrow just went on it"s trajectory for the Prince.
But the unexpected happened when the Princess Consort got in the way seeing the arrow coming towards him and hugged her husband in the way of the arrow...
There he goes! Another sc.u.m using his wife as a s.h.i.+eld!
Xing sneered but what happened next made Xing perplexed.
The arrow pa.s.sed Chenglei and with only a few feet away, the Prince swirled hugging his wife with his back facing the arrow.
" Su Yunxi!", he cried as he held her close to him and covering her from the oncoming arrow with his back facing the arrow.
Xing who had now calmed down with all the thunderclouds dissipated could hear the painful cry of that man for his wife.
Yunxi! Is that her name? Xing"s heart clenched as the arrow that was inches away from Prince Kang"s back just fell on the wooden floor of the s.h.i.+p as a splotch of water.
Chenglei who had observed those two in the past days while travelling together had a pretty good idea of the weird relations.h.i.+p between the couple. That woman cared for her husband a lot and is under the impression that he has no care for her but the man is hiding his deep love for her for some unknown reasons. This was the first time Chenglei had seen him losing his composure and this is the first time he is calling his wife by her name even. They even slept in different rooms. He had no idea why a married couple had such relations.h.i.+p and he had no interest in knowing that either. In his opinion, it is rather foolish to keep your love in your heart as a secret without letting it known to the person concerned. What kind of man conceals his love for his lawfully wedded wife? Chenglei was a bit angry at him.
What a foolish man! I would give anything to be married to my Xing and tell her "I love you" each day.
Chenglei looked at Xing who abandoned her plan to kill the man! Surely she is too soft-hearted against a pair of lovers and won"t separate them.
My adorable kitten!
But he felt something is deeply disturbing her as he could feel the chill was in the air and the sky started to darken again.
Xing who heard the heartfelt cry of the man got reminded of the dream where Chenglei called for her with the same despair. She looked at Chenglei looking at her.
Is he really here? Is this a dream I am living or is this really happening...?
Xing was extremely confused and her head started to hurt and the gloomy clouds started to form above her once again. She looked around to see the destruction she caused. Pieces of wood were floating around and there were some dead bodies floating and the entire sea looked like... a storm had pa.s.sed. Even the colour of the sea water had a reddish hue to it in a particular area.
Did I cause all this? This should be a dream, right? Xing felt sick and wanted to go somewhere...
This must be a dream! Otherwise, how many children did I make fatherless? And how many women who are expecting their husband, their lover or their son back will be devastated? How many families did I destroy? Most won"t even be able to get the bodies of their loved ones, to greive and bury!
WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!
Xing felt excruciating pain in her chest and her emotions were echoed in the sky by the formation of a gigantic thundercloud. She held her head that hurt like its being hammered.
It is a dream! I have to wake up from this nightmare, Xing thought. How do I wake up? How? Someone help me!
Xing was screaming inside her head holding it and she hugged her knees and curled herself into a ball midair trying to figure out what is going around.
Chenglei who was watching her realised she is in extreme distress and wondered what might have caused it and his heart hurt seeing her like that.
He forgot where he was or the person near him and the possibility that he might tattle everything to s.h.i.+hong. His eyes were only at his Xing who is hurting right now.
"Xing!", he cried cupping his hands over his mouth, "Xing! Look at me!"
Xing who was burying her head in her knees, looked in the direction of the familiar voice.
Is that really Chenglei? Is that him? Can I trust my eyes, my ears, my senses? I was wrong before! Could I be wrong now too?
But as she was looking at him, Chenglei just got over the taffrail and stretched his hand towards her
"My moon! Come to me!"
Xing looked at him and her heart was filled with joy but there was a little doubt too.
It is him! It is my Prince! Or I"m dreaming this too...! Whatever! If this is a dream, let it be! He is here!
The dark clouds dissipated as she started to believe Chenglei is near, spilling the gentle rays of the morning sun and the chilly wind was replaced by a gentle breeze.
The next moment Xing found herself inside a very familiar room with the familiar bed now decorated with... All red? There was an incense burning that gave the calming and peaceful vibe in the room.
Why am I in Chenglei"s secret place again?
Xing got out of the bedroom and walked towards the entrance to see the way out is locked.
Why am I trapped here again?

Fei Lian put a spell around that place he had disturbed them previously, so that no one could detect them there. He had to interfere because he knew Xing"s life is in danger and so he brought her out to relax. She is too stressed and had used a lot of power that will make her implode and she would have destroyed herself if she was left alone.
