Chapter 1101 ā Jasmine, Little Jasmine
In a black colored world, his consciousness was slow returning to him .
When Yun Che opened his eyes, he saw a small-statured red colored silhouette standing before him, silently gazing at him .
That matchless beautiful little face carried a tinge of pride and coldness . She was still wearing her favourite Smoky Red Fairy Dress . Her scarlet hair reached her hips, making her look both gentle and delicate .
āJas . . . mineā¦ā Yun Che whispered . He knew he was in a dream but his soul couldnāt stop trembling with excitement .
āYouāve gotten yourself badly injured again . Donāt tell me itās because of that woman?ā Jasmine stared at him, that familiar gaze and tone, and that forcefulness of posture, the demeanor of a master .
āHeheā¦ā Yun Che chuckled . āYes . Sheās called Little Jasmine . ā
āHmph!ā Jasmine was angered . āWhen will you learn to properly your life!? Over those years with you, Iāve made many misjudgements but one thing Iām certain of is that if one day you are absolutely and totally dead, the cause will be a woman!ā
āIf itās for youā¦ā Yun Che looked at her and replied resolutely, āI wonāt hesitate . ā
ā . . . Idiot!ā She scolded him once more and then turned around, her gaze also leaving him . āBefore we parted, I already said everything . Weāre no longer fated and have no more ties to one another . Our paths will no longer cross . ā
āLive well, donāt have any more senseless hopes . . . even if it is for me . ā
As her voice trailed off, that dreamlike figure of hers gradually turned blurry .
āJasmine⦠Jasmine! Donāt go, I have a lot more to talk with you about⦠Jasmine!!ā
Yun Che sat up, the pain all over his body jolting him completely awake, his vision also slowly started to clear up .
This place seemed like a naturally formed cave . There was a small campfire made of broken pieces of wood . A young girl dressed in a colorful dress was seated in front of him . Her cheeks and chin rested on both her palms as she stared at him without blinking .
āAwake so soon, I thought you would sleep longer . ā Little Jasmineās hands still stayed in their positions holding her cute face in the middle . She softly continued, āYour injuries are very serious . ā
āHow long was I asleep for?ā
He had a splitting headache, he put his hand on his head for quite a while before slowly easing his grip .
The loss of my mental energy is greater than the injuries Iāve suffered physically . Iāll probably only be able to recover after a long period of time .
Little Jasmine tilted her head, recalling, āProbably around two to three hours . Oh yeah, Brother-in-law, you were constantly shouting out Big Sister Jasmineās name just now . ā
ā . . . ā Yun Che paused a while to breathe and slowly sat up, his back leaning against the stone wall . The darkness outside had some faint light shining through it . It was probably way past midnight . āWhere is this place? Was it you who brought me here?ā
āOf course it was me . You think itās those bad guys?ā Little Jasmine pouted . āAnyways, I donāt know where this place is but itās very safe . Thereās nothing notable within the surroundings . You really really really need to thank me, Brother-in-law, if I hadnāt done such back breaking work dragging Brother-in-law to this safe place, youād most likely have been eaten by profound beasts by now . ā
ā . . . ā Yun Che didnāt speak further . He slowly and steadily tried to regain consciousness It was just that he couldnāt get rid of the floating red figure he saw in his dreams out of his vision .
āJasmineā¦ā his consciousness began to fade once more .
Little Jasmine opened her lips slightly, a little startled at his dazed like state and hurriedly asked, āBrother-in-law, are you very angry with me right now?ā
ā . . . ā Yun Che started to wake once more and glared at Little Jasmine . āWhat do you think!? Forget about the last time . This time I almost got killed because of you!ā
āHehehe . ā Little Jasmine stuck her tongue out cheekily, āActually⦠Actually be it this time or the last, I let those bad people discover me on purpose . Itās because I knew that brother-in-law was by my side, if not they would never have been able to find me . ā
āYou!ā Yun Che violently turned his head, staring daggers at her, āYou really are not as simple as you look . Who the hell are you⦠and why are you trying to harm me!?ā
āI donāt want to harm Brother-in-law . I justā¦ā both of Little Jasmineās eye brows started to curve as she giggled, āI just wanted to see if Brother-in-law was willing to brave every danger to come and save me . ā
āHmph!ā Yun Che scowled as he spat out the following words, āWe have no ties to each other . Where does your confidence that Iāll save you time and again come from!?ā
āItās definitely because Iām so pretty and so lovable . Brother-in-law would never bear to even let me suffer a hairās worth of harm . ā
āOh and thereās this other⦠very very little reason . ā Little Jasmine started to speak in a hushed tone, āI wanted to know if itās because I have the same name as Big Sister Jasmine that Brother-in-law didnāt abandon me⦠I never would have thought that Brother-in-law was actually this stupid!ā
It was as if every word of Little Jasmineās was piercing Yun Cheās fatal weakness .
The reason why he threw caution to the wind each and every time to risk his life to save this little girl whom he had no ties with⦠the biggest reason⦠no⦠the only reason was because her name was āLittle Jasmineā .
Perhaps it was a coincidence and perhaps she was spouting nonsense back then, but to Yun Che, who had come to the God Realm alone, whose entire being was preoccupied with Jasmine, āLittle Jasmineā was indeed a name that touched the depths of his heart . He wanted to reject her for having the same name . He was disgusted that she obstinately called Jasmine āBig Sister Jasmineā while also calling him Brother-in-law . . .
However⦠unknowingly, she had left her mark on his heart .
He couldnāt ignore those weighty feelings that kept coming to him whenever Little Jasmine seemed to be in danger .
ā . . . There wonāt be a next time . And donāt call me brother-in-law . Sssā¦ā .
His tone was grave and speaking opened some wounds . Yun Che winced in pain, his body slightly convulsing .
Unexpectedly, after this lecture from Yun Che, Little Jasmine didnāt behave in her usual obstinate and unruly manner . She slightly pouted, looking extremely guilty and hurt . āBrother-in-law, I already know Iām in the wrong . At that time, I thought it was fun, I didnāt know that you would suffer to this extent . ā
She reached out her hand, gently hovering close to Yun Cheās chest wound, seemingly wanting to touch it yet not daring to . āDoes it hurt a lot? I promise I wonāt do it again . I definitely wonāt . ā
Looking at her pitiful look and contrite manner, Yun Che could no longer vent his bellyful of indignance and anger . He casually and helplessly shook his head . āForget it, as long as you know you were in the wrongā¦ā
Before he had even finished speaking, Little Jasmineās eyes brightened as she replied cheerfully, āI knew Brother-in-law wouldnāt stay angry at me . Hehehehe! Brother-in-law, when you were sleeping, you shouted Big Sister Jasmineās name dozens of times . Risking danger to save me was also because of Big Sister Jasmine . You treat Big Sister Jasmine so well, no wonder she was willing to marry you!ā
ā . . . ā Yun Che gently took in a breath, āSince youāve been honest with me, Iāll also be honest with you about this . Jasmine⦠Sheās actually not my wife, sheās my teacher . ā
āEh?ā Little Jasmineās mouth went wide āTeacher? Ah⦠Eh⦠Then Brother-in-law should be extremely respectful of her am I right?ā
āRespectful?ā Yun Che lifted his head . āI donāt know . I donāt know what my feelings for her are . Sheās my teacher but sheās much more than just a teacher to me . ā
Little Jasmine didnāt interrupt and silently looked at him, not blinking .
āSheās taught me many things but Iāve never felt the sort of gratitude or respect that one has towards a benefactor . Sheās saved me countless times . If not for her, I would have been a dead body lying around somewhere but Iāve never had the sort of thankfulness one has towards a savior⦠Sheās the one in this world that has scolded me the most⦠sheās the fiercest⦠yet Iāve never been mad at her⦠in fact⦠When I dream⦠I hope to see and hear her scolding me again, a thousand times⦠no⦠ten thousand times . ā
Without realizing it, all these feelings started pouring out . Because of Jasmine, he came to the God Realm . He had met countless people, yet he was still constantly lonely . He had to bury his plans for Jasmine deep within his heart . Her name was the worst kind of taboo imaginable here . He couldnāt speak of her, he couldnāt talk about her to anyone .
Right now, he could not help but confide in this girl called āLittle Jasmineā who constantly shouted the term ābrother-in-law, brother-in-lawā at him . Without knowing why, he poured his heart out and confided in her .
āIāve always known that she and I were from different worlds but I never would have imagined that our parting would be so abrupt, so decisive . ā
āAfter she left, I felt as if half of me was suddenly missing . I initially thought that it was because I was used to relying on her strength and the sense of security that she gave me but later on I slowly realized that it was her that I was used to, everything about her . Without her, my life will always have an unfillable vacancy .
Little Jasmine opened her mouth . āThen are⦠you looking for her now?ā
āMn . ā Yun Che was so focused on his emotions that he didnāt realize the strangeness of Little Jasmineās question . He half murmured, āI was born in the lower realms . I came to the God Realm just to see her again⦠No matter what, I have to find her, even if itās just to properly say goodbye .
Yun Che closed his eyes⦠If I can find Jasmine⦠and if itās only just to say goodbye, will I really truly be satisfied?
āYou came to the God Realm, to look for Big Sister Jasmine⦠Is that the one and only reason?ā Little Jasmine continued .
āMn,ā Yun Che replied without hesitation .
ā . . . ā Little Jasmineās gaze started to turn restless . āThen where is she now and how are you going to look for her?ā
āI know where she is⦠itās just that itās a place that I can never reach . ā Yun Che gave a self-deprecating cold laugh . āBut, Iāve found a way to see her again . Itās just that I have to find two items . If I find them, I will definitely be able to see her in two years . ā
A small hand rested on Yun Cheās shoulder and started to gently shake him, āTell me, tell me! I might have heard of them before . ā
Yun Che chuckled, āOf these two items, one is called Divine Nine Star Buddha Jade, the other is called Immortal Emperor Grass . ā
āDivine Nine Star Buddha Jade⦠Immortal Emperor Grassā¦ā Little Jasmine started to repeat these names to herself, her eyes constantly blinking⦠I feel like Iāve heard of them before but it also feel like I havenāt?
āThey are exceedingly rare items, not knowing of them is normal . ā Yun Che wasnāt surprised at the puzzled look on Little Jasmineās face and slowly stopped speaking . Yun Cheā consciousness then became even heavier . He glanced at the weather outside and started concentrating . He began to channel the Great Way of The Buddha, āIām going to start my recovery, itās best you donāt disturb me again . Go have a nice rest, Iāll bring you out of here at dawn . ā
āOh,ā Little Jasmine replied looking somewhat distracted .
After activating the Great Way of the Buddha, Yun Che swiftly settled down, his physical body and mental state started to swiftly recover .
āSuch strange names . It feels like I donāt have those stuff at home . ā Little Jasmine was deep in thought . Finally, after much time and putting much effort into thinking about this matter, her eyes lit up .
āThatās right! I can ask those few grandpas from the Heavenly Mystery Realm!ā
After she felt certain, the little girl started to become lively again . She immediately started flying into the air and within the blink of an eye, she disappeared .
