The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 127 Comprehension

The Elder gritted his teeth. He couldn’t accept those words, but he also knew when to give up. If he kept on pushing, he knew that the ending is not desirable not just for him but for their sect. "Since the new master wanted Princess Ariana to dig soil then it is only right that she followed her master’s words." Taking back this woman would surely make their sect master fumed. He might even kill him! To avoid this tragedy, he needed to leave the Princess here.

"Elder!" Two small tears immediately fell from Ariana’s eyes. How could she act like a servant? Her clan was known for their beauty, grace, and seduction. And yet, these people wanted her to dig a cave? Ariana was sure that she won’t be able to last a day. She lifted her head, eyeing the white-haired man in front of her. Earlier, she sent out her seduction arts towards Mo Li and yet he still sat there unaffected. Was it possible that he had become so powerful, not even her charms were enough to entice him?

But the Sect Master of the Frozen Wraith Sect said that Mo Li was not as powerful as him. "I— I can’t do it." She added.

"Ariana... they are your new masters now. Don’t worry, they will treat you well." The elder patted her shoulders and sigh before leaving.

Ariana lowered her head, she couldn’t stop herself from feeling angry at this situation.

"Alright... you walk towards the eight mountain." Mo Li’s words echoed. "We no longer need you here."

"W— Walk?" Ariana swallowed her saliva. The Eight Palms Sect sat in the Eight Mountains famous for its fog and size. Currently, the banquet was at the first mountain where the banquet hall is located. Next to this mountain was the place where the outer disciples stay. Then another mountain for the inner disciples.

"If you won’t walk then can you fly?" Mo Li sneered.

"I— But walking would take weeks." The Eight Mountain was very far from the first mountain. This was the reason why people chose to fly instead of walking. "And I can’t fly." Their clan had a different constitution than a normal human. Moreover, she was born and treated like a princess. How could she withstand the tiresome journey?

"Since you can’t fly. Then you walk." Mo Li motioned her to leave, his actions were nonchalant, without any intention of hiding the disgust in his eyes.

"Elder Mo... how could you treat a woman like that?" Unable to stop himself, one Elder from another Sect intervened.

"What woman?"

"..." The elder’s eyes darted towards the beautiful Ariana. "Elder Mo even if you dislike the gift, you can’t treat her as if she was not a human being."

"She is not human." Mo Li interrupted. "She came here knowing she would become a slave. She agreed to come here of her own volition. But since the Elder is showing interest in the Princess, it is only right that I, as an upright gentleman would give her to you. So you can treat her well." Mo Li waved his hands. Strong winds filled the area, lifting Ariana towards the Elder. "Here."

"..."

Everyone could only sigh. Honestly, no one could blame Elder Mo to act like this. He just got married to the talented Fang Yu and yet these people dared to provoke the man. It was only lucky that Mo Li didn’t kill the woman right then and there.

After the small commotion, the gift-giving continued as many sects gave their own gifts. Of course, none of them dared to give another concubine again. After the gift-giving, the Sect Master together with the other Sect Masters who were having a small private meeting joined them, and the environment turned livelier.

In the end, the night ended with everyone laughing and drinking.

"I didn’t realize that the summer was so hot." Fang Yu said as they walked towards the bamboo bridge at the back of the banquet hall. Both of them were wearing red wedding robes that looked dazzling under the moonlight.

"You stayed inside my ice cave for two hundred years." He reminded her as he brought his hand towards his lips, kissing the back of her palm. "Why don’t we cool you off?" He snapped his fingers and almost immediately the soft swirl of snow danced in the air, surrounding them. She let out a gasp of surprise as she raised her head, smiling. The delicate white crystals kissed her cheeks. She opened her eyes, watching as the intricate small little snowflakes fell, swirling and dancing until it touches the ground.

Coupled with the moon that hung above them, the scene was enough to warm one’s heart.

"Mo Li..." Lifting her gaze, she looked at him. She wasn’t surprised to see that he was already staring at her. "Thank you."

He chuckled. He rested his hand on her waist and lifted her up, putting her on one of the railings of the bamboo bridge. The action made her giggle. She was too small. If Mo Li would keep on staring at her like that, he would end up with a broken neck. She smiled, unknowingly showing a small dimple on her left cheek.

"Why are you thanking me?"

She only smiled in response. She knew she would forget this in the next world so she wanted to cherish the memories as much as she could. "For not accepting the concubine."

"Why would I accept another woman?" When I already have you? He wanted to add. A strand of her hair was blown by the wind, sticking out towards his nose, her familiar scent immediately lingered in the air. Their eyes met in the shadowed darkness, both orbs contained a secret. An endless abyss that called out to each other. With her in his arms, her scent surrounding them, Mo Li couldn’t stop himself from claiming her lips. Lowering his head, he kissed her.

There were no promises, no words that would be able to describe the desire that swept through them like a hurricane. No. This was more than a desire. This was more than the mind-boggling sex. Both knew that within the depths of them, an unknown force outside of their comprehension, beyond their understanding was tugging them, towards each other.

And they were not planning to resist- not anymore.
