Tan You raised his eyes and it was only then that he reached out to pick up the hair tie on the table, carefully took off the shining pearl and played with it, then stood up and walked to Liu Guang.
”Did you see? What I want… will become mine no matter the cost.” He leaned down and gently hooked Liu Guang’s chin with his fingers. There was a faint smile on his lips and his black eyes were as dark as deep night.
”Yes,” Liu Guang looked at him expressionlessly and responded coldly, “Congratulations to Second Highness for getting his wish.”
”I gave Bai Qimeng a chance to choose, but it’s a pity that he didn’t choose you after all. Now you should have let go of him, right?”
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Liu Guang.
But Liu Guang’s expression was neither sad nor happy, taciturn as always. He put his hands on the ground and slowly stood up. After the initial pain passed, his heart gradually turned cold, numb to the point of almost losing consciousness.
The pain was overwhelming, but now only fatigue remains.
He felt extremely tired, there was deep weariness in my bones, making him not want to move anymore.
Liu Guang clenched his fist hard and after a lot of effort, he forced himself to take steps forward, one step, two steps… Involuntarily, he still wanted to catch up with Bai Qimeng’s back.
Tan You who was next to you immediately grabbed his arm and asked, “Where are you going?”
”It has nothing to do with Second Highness.”
”Going to find Bai Qimeng?” Tan You narrowed his eyes, twirled the pearl in his palm, and said, “Don’t forget, you are mine now.”
Liu Guang was indifferent and responded calmly: “It’s just an ordinary pearl. If Second Highness doesn’t like it, he can destroy it.”
”Destroy it? This is your true body.”
”Mm, at most my soul will shatter and I will never be reincarnated again, nothing remarkable.” As he was saying that, Liu Guang actually turned around and smiled.
His delicate facial features were as ordinary as before and his brows were indifferent, but the light in his eyes was more dazzling than any pearl.
Tan You’s heart moved and he almost wanted to embrace him into his arms right there.
But when he almost started to move, he took back his hand and smiled slightly: “How can I let go of you?”
”Forget it, since you are still thinking about Bai Qimeng, then go after him.” Tan You sighed nonchalantly, suddenly lowered his voice and said word by word, “After all, he may not survive today. “
Liu Guang froze immediately.
Although his eyes were looking forward, he was still unable to take a single step forward.
After a long time, he asked quietly: “Is this the only way Second Highness knows to scare people?”
”It’s quite effective, isn’t it?”
Liu Guang didn’t respond, he pressed the hilt of the sword with his right hand out of habit, but he finally endured it and glared at Tan You, gritting his teeth.
Tan You laughed.
”What? Do you think I’m shameless?” He leaned forward, holding Liu Guang in his arms with one hand and continued to play with the pearl with his other hand. He brought it to his lips and kissed it, with a hint of evil in his smile, “You haven’t seen me actually obscene then.”
Liu Guang’s face turned pale and his body trembled slightly.
Tan You made no further moves, but slowly ruffled his black hair and said softly: “Follow me back to Illusionary Island.”
This was just a calm sentence, but it left no space for rejection.
If he had threatened Liu Guang with Bai Qimeng’s life, Liu Guang would have given in long ago, but he did not.
He had to destroy Liu Guang’s heart first.
How could his Second Highness think of others when he wanted something?
Liu Guang understood everything, he felt another wave of tiredness, as he simply closed his eyes and let himself be manipulated.
Only at this moment did he understand Bai Qimeng’s previous state of mind.
When your loved one’s life hangs by a thread, you have no choice. If he wanted to blame someone, he could only blame himself for not being lucky enough and never being able to enter Bai Qimeng’s heart.
That night, Liu Guang set foot on the legendary Illusory Island.
Although this island was in the Heavenly Realm, it was very different from other places and couldn’t be reached easily. There was a vast mist all around and of all the pavilions and palaces were built on the water, with beautiful carved beams and painted roof tiles.
It was more like a water palace than an island.
As Liu Guang moved forward along the winding corridor, there was a faint sound of sweet singing in the distance. The melody was filled with sadness, lingering, weeping and sorrowful, extremely beautiful in itself.
Strange.
Why would there be singing in this place?
Liu Guang was distracted after hearing this and his steps slowed down a little.
Tan You turned around and smiled at him, saying, “Maybe that little phoenix is singing again.”
It turned out to be a pet bird.
Liu Guang cleared up his doubts and said calmly: “Second Highness’s island indeed has many exotic animals.”
”Yes, when it comes to appearance, that little phoenix can be considered stunning.” Tan You smiled and said nonchalantly, “It’s a pity that he had been too wild and untamed, so I ordered his wings to be broken.”
Liu Guang was shocked and a chill immediately spread down his back.
Tan You seemed to have said this on purpose. He immediately shook Liu Guang’s hand and said softly, “Don’t be afraid, I won’t treat you like this.”
Liu Guang sneered in his heart.
Indeed, he would only be more cruel to him.
But he couldn’t even hate him.
He only felt numb and hopeless.
He really wanted to close his eyes and forget Bai Qimeng, forget himself and forget everything.
As Liu Guang was thinking, he unknowingly stopped and stared at the sparkling water outside the corridor, his reflection reflected in the water.
So ordinary, no wonder Bai Qimeng didn’t like it.
Liu Guang couldn’t help but stretch out his hand, wanting to touch the water, but Tan You immediately hugged him from behind and whispered: “Don’t move. The water around Illusionary Island is different from other places, carrying cold yin breath that you can’t bear.”
”So?” Liu Guang’s mouth twitched, feeling laughable, “Will I be trapped here for the rest of my life?”
”Always stay with me, won’t you?” Tan You caught a glimpse of his snow-white neck from behind and finally couldn’t bear it anymore. He opened his mouth and took a bite, his voice suddenly became hoarse as he muttered softly, “Liu Guang, Liu Guang, will you know my suffering of missing loved ones?”
