ETHEREUM
CHAPTER 9
"Hurry, pack it all up."
"Good, Sir."
One by one the servants brought the belongings of Wang Zheng and his wife. Yu Jie just sat looking at them passing by. Behind him Ping massaged his shoulder, painstakingly.
"For a month I was unconscious, Wang-Wang moved his belongings to the ice palace and stayed here?"
"Yes, Miss." Pouring the snow tea into Yu Jie's cup.
"Then now, does he intend to move to the Water Palace again? Isn't that tiring," Yu Jie said with a mouthful of cake. She did not even let someone hold her husband's cake.
A wisp-shaped spirit of blue mist came and then turned into Wang Zheng. "We're going to Kama Peak. Be prepared."
"Groan." Enthusiastic, Yu Jie ran over and immediately twitched spoiled in the burly arms of the man with the ponytail hair.
"Aww!" the groin of the ivory-white dress woman was made of long-tailed silk with that chinese collar. Holding a scar that feels pain.
Worried by his wife's state, Wang Zheng directly carried Yu Jie's slender body. Then put him to sleep in one of the long chairs in the gazebo. "Snake. Can't you just shut up for a second? Your wounds haven't even healed properly."
"You're worried about me, aren't you?" Yu Jie's smile grew wide. Even the pain is not cared for. The woman who was happy with the sour and spicy food actually pulled Wang Zheng and kissed his left cheek.
"Don't joke. Is your wound still hurting?"
Yu Jie shook his head with a crybaby laugh.
"Good then."
"You were a little concerned when I was exposed to the poison of the fire blue rose. Then it turned even sweeter when I regained consciousness from the coma." Yu Jie woke up and then leaned back into Wang Zheng's body. "Whether to make you fall in love I have to be tia--"
"Yes, you must be loyal if you want me to fall in love with you" Wang Zheng said.
"Don't interrupt. I mean, are you just gonna love me when I'm gone?"
Wang Zheng who was enjoying a glass of tea choked on Yu Jie's words. With a huffed face twitching his glass. "The "peak of Kama produces some energy, including ice energy. Although it is not as big as the energy in the Ice Palace, but you will gain calm there. It'll be good for your recovery."
Wang Zheng stood up, then twisted his body and disappeared. Yu Jie sighed, looking at her ex-husband's cup. "He didn't even answer my question."
"I didn't expect that my days with you would be so short. In 1,000 years, could it be that you will fall back in love with me, Wang-Wang? I'm afraid I must die, while the hatred in your heart is still burning."
***
White chrysanthemum flowers line up neatly along the way. Yu Jie jumped up occasionally spinning in excitement at the sight of the Kama Peak that was so captivating to the eyes. Not far away, stood a wooden house with a peach tree right in front of him. Around the house was filled with elegant yellow chrysanthemums.
"It's beautiful."
Wang Zheng smiled wryly looking at his female manner. Unknowingly the memories of the togetherness he and Yu Jie again repeated. It's just that the ice master wasn't this expressive. He came looking around, contemplating, taking a deep breath, and then left.
"In the meantime, we'll stay here." Holding Yu Jie's hand, friendly.
"It's fun. Oh, yeah, how do you know this amazing place?"
Silence, Wang Zheng realized that the distortion of fate was really happening. Yu Jie had no theatrics regarding the loss of memory while being a goddess.
"You gave it to me."
"Me?" Yu Jie shook his head in disbelief.
Wang Zheng was pinching Yu Jie's chin. "You're the only goddess capable of absorbing 3 energies at once in a large amount. Therefore, you used half your strength to build Kama Peak as my birthday present. You're hurt pretty badly, but with your strength, in a day you'll recover."
"Oh, huh?" Smiling awkwardly. As if they knew where they were going to talk.
"But why are you so weak now? Lost a third of your energy and you were unconscious for a month. Even your wounds haven't healed properly. In addition, Yen also says your inner core is intolerant to wind and water energy."
Yu Jie let go of Wang Zheng's hand. Then quickly diverted the conversation. "I didn't think it was this magnificent mountain that I made it."
"What happened to your inner core?"
The deg! Yu Jie let down a step and fell silent. "Everything's fine. Believe it."
"Emm." Nodding and then hugging Wang Zheng.
***
Wang Zheng arranged the peach cake, Yu Jie's favorite onto the plate. Then brew the snow tea he brought from the Ice Palace. Not wanting to be bothered, the man also had his two servants, Shen and Ping go to the forest looking for fresh fruits. They can't go home until he sends a meteor shower in the sky.
"What makes you so sad, Yu'er?" Sitting right next to his wife. Then let the woman's head rest on her shoulder.
Yu Jie looked at the chrysanthemum flower wounds that filled the courtyard of the house. "Yellow chrysanthemum flowers."
"What's wrong?"
"Wang-Wang, someone once said that yellow chrysanthemums are a sign of love clapping one hand, love that hurts."
"You believe?"
Yu Jie lowered his head, doubtful. "I'm afraid, this may be a sign that you'll never love me."
"Someone has also said that yellow chrysanthemum is the eternal symbol of love. You see, their colors are bright, very cheerful and beautiful. It can't be a sign of love clapping one hand. Someone who said it must be a lowly immortal who understood nothing."
Wang Zheng stuffed the peach cake into Yu Jie's mouth. "You look ugly when you're sad. Don't think. We're here to have fun, not to be sad."
"Groan." Hugged her husband tightly. "You're right, we're here for fun. Therefore, you should prepare wine, not snow tea."
Wang Zheng smiled at the snail, returning Yu Jie's embrace. "All right, I'll bring you the best wine."
***
"When do you think you're gonna send a sign for us?" Ping exhaled a tired breath. This day he and Shen had already circled around Kama Peak almost three times and there was no sign that they could return.
Shen transformed a large basket full of fruits into one as small as an ant. Put it in my pocket. "Why? You tired?"
"Little."
The man who had served the Water God since he was 20,000 smiled widely. "Well, for a while we'll rest here."
Shen and Ping sat next to each other. Both of them were busy immersed in their own thoughts.
"When you found out that Empress Rui used him. Mister often comes here, spends a full day staring at the empress' painting." Shen reminisced about Wang Zheng's difficult times. When the cold-looking man was drowning in sorrow for love. Even he dared to bet, the sadness of losing a war is not comparable to the sadness when the love of the master is avenged by betrayal.
"130,000 years ago, your nonunion killed my master's love and trust. Since then, it has been like a living corpse. Only his body exists, but not his soul.
Ping smiled, cynical. "Why bring it back?"
"This time, I hope that empress Rui won't let lord Rui down a second time." From his tone of speech, there was a loud warning there.
"My phone may have killed Mr. Rui's love and trust. Yet he has already paid for all your master's pain at a great price." Ping clenched his hands, strong. Honestly speaking, he wanted to shout out loud that to Wang Zheng, Yu Jie had done many things that risked his life. Wasn't that more than a fitting word to atone for all the sins and wrongs in his past?
***
"Sir, you're doing all this, just out of pity?" Ping suddenly came and startled Wang Zheng who was picking peach blossoms.
"Come?"
"He and also cover up the guilt, because the lady was hurt after saving the Master." Unwilling to mince words, Ping immediately strengthened his mind. Wang Zheng's sudden good attitude, made him wonder. She was afraid that the lady would get hurt if the man wasn't really sincere with her.
"Why? Do you think this looks like a feeling of pity?"
Inversely with Ping who looks serious. Wang Zheng was just acting a little unconcerned. He really loved Yu Jie. A iba? It was just the wild mind of his wife's servant for being too anxious.
"Master, answer me."
Wang Zheng sighed, long. "You know for sure the answer. Go."
Wang Zheng's reply was not at all relieved. Ping is increasingly assuming the no-no. Not wanting to be ignited by anger, Yu Jie's loyal servant left her non-husband.
Unknowingly, Yu Jie had been secretly eavesdropping on the conversation of the two. A bitter smile was painted on the face of the fly-tiered woman. "Prophe or love, at least we can be together without hurting each other. That's more than enough for me."
