THE LIGHTNING EMPEROR

The wounded heart

***

Ever since the Wind Wing Balloons set off towards Chang Lan City, all they could do was chat, pacing from front to back.

If their journey passed through a large village as well as a city, they would pause to buy everything that was needed.

Fortunately they were quite a lot so that the trip did not feel saturated, moreover the balloon was equipped with a simple bed covered by woven bamboo, and in it there was already a place to cook, especially, bathroom and other simple necessities.

That's why the balloon also needs to come down to replenish clean water and all kinds of things needed by the balloon so that the flight can run smoothly.

Without feeling after passing a few months of travel, they had started to get close to arriving in Chang Lan City, although the distance was still quite far, but at least they had started to enter the Chang Lan City region.

"The territory of the Green Land Continent is really very fertile, this is in accordance with its name. Since the beginning of the journey, the color of the leaves stretches throughout the course of these few months, unlike in the white Fortress which sometimes has arid and hot land!" said Cia Ling.

"Do you feel at home seeing this green scene?" asked Yan Hang.

"of course! If I could stay in this Continent, maybe I would always go to the highest peak to see the fertility of this region!" answer Cia Ling.

"Then get married to Yan Hang, you will definitely be able to enjoy the scenery here every day" said Xang Wuhai who teased Cia Ling.

"There is no other man in this region but the wind-bodied man? Hmp!" answer Cia Ling.

"Who would want to be the husband of a rude woman like you?" said Yan Hang who made them all laugh except for the two girls namely Bing Xuyue and Fu Lie Wei.

"Chairman! Looks like we're close to Chang Lan City!" tang Chin said.

"Yes, but my Klan settlement is now in Lianxai Village, not so far away from the city!" fang An said.

Fang An looked towards Bing Xuyue and moved to Fu Lie Wei, on the journey that took almost four months, the two girls did not want to talk to each other and did not say hello.

On the one hand, Fu Lie Wei's attitude was slightly different from before toward Fang An, he was like angry, yet Fang An did not understand Fu Lie Wei's reason for acting that way.

"It looks like you guys are close to your destination! Miss Zang Mei and all! I'm sorry, since I can't come with you, we're separated here" Fu Lie Wei said

"Miss Lie Wei, why don't you come with us? I want to know your house too!" said Qiao Yi.

"Later to meet again, after that you will find out who I am! Goodbye bye!" fu Lie Wei.

"Lie Wei's! What's the matter with you, why is your attitude so strange to me?" ask Fang An.

Fu Lie Wei looked at Fang An with a slightly teary gaze, yet he immediately turned his face away, and without answering Fang An's question, he turned around and spoke to the two flying Balloon drivers.

"If you're back, say my regards to Mr Li!" fu Lie Wei.

"We'll tell you Miss!" answer one of the drivers.

"Thank you!" fu Lie Wei said and then without looking back at Fang An, Fu Lie Wei immediately jumped away from the balloon and flew away at high speed leaving the air balloon.

Fang An thoughtlessly came out of the hot air balloon and then he used his lightning speed to chase Fu Lie Wei to ask for an explanation for Fu Lie Wei's change in attitude towards him.

"Fang An is back..!" bing Xuyue exclaimed then he intended to go after Fang An, but his friends forbade him.

"Miss Bing, relax! Fang An must have realized that Miss Lie Wei had been acting strangely towards him since the beginning of our departure, I'm sure it's all because Lie Wei felt deceived on behalf of the Fake Fang An who claimed to be named Huang An to Miss Lie Wei! So let them resolve their misunderstanding" Zang Mei said.

The rest of the friends also tried to calm Bing Xuyue who was still intending to chase after Fang An, and by all means, Bing Xuyue was finally able to calm down.

"Keep out of my way!" fu Lie Wei.

"I won't let you go without giving an answer to your changing attitude towards me!" fang An said.

"You gonna step aside or not? Don't let me use rude means so you don't bother me anymore!" fu Lie Wei.

"What's wrong with you?" said Fang An who felt disbelief yet if Fu Lie Wei really changed.

Fu Lie Wei who felt he had no other choice finally pulled out his sword then pointed his sword tip towards Fang An while saying, "Don't you think I don't have the heart to hurt you!" fu Lie Wei said but with a feeling of doubt and his sword grip slightly wavered.

"If you hurt me, would you answer my question?" ask Fang An.

Fu Lie Wei bit her lips holding back her raging feelings, she once again tried to stay firm, but upon seeing Fang An, her firmness instantly turned weak, and she finally lowered her Sword while saying, "Why didn't you be honest from the start if your name was Fang An and not Huang An? Did you want to play me from the beginning?" fu Lie Wei said in a slightly quiet voice but there was a sense of emotional content in it.

"So you know my name? Then I'm sorry, but to be honest, I didn't mean to play you at all! Back then I was forced to not introduce my real name because I was afraid that after you found out if I came from a clan that was on the verge of being destroyed, you would hate me because of my current status as a descendant of the Fang Clan!" fang An said.

Fu Lie Wei was silent, actually he had also heard that his Sect had a conflict with the Fang Clan, although Fu Lie Wei was not fully aware of what was going on, but the matter was already widespread, and Fu Lie Wei only found out about it while traveling to the Border of the Green Land Continent to hunt into the Black Forest.

"Fang An! Now that you have your future maiden companion, I beg you to forget everything we have experienced in the Perverted Forest, I hope you can understand the feelings of women!" fu Lie Wei.

"I know that, that's why I'm trying to keep up the attitude for the sake of you and Yue Yue, I've also forgotten what happened in the past, and I hope we can still be friends!" fang An said.

Once again Fu Lie Wei felt the pain in his heart, now he already knew that Fang An preferred Bing Xuyue over him. But he was ready for everything, though, and Fu Lie Wei will try to accept the harsh reality even though she realizes that her age with Fang An is very different where she is much older than Fang An, and according to Fu Lie Wei, Fang An indeed deserved to be together with Bing Xuyue who was still a generation.

Fu Lie Wei tried to force herself to smile, she tried to cover up the pain in her heart with a warm smile for Fang An to believe if he was also willing to let go of the young man to be with his chosen girl.

"Alright Fang An, I accept this friendship!" fu Lie Wei.

Fang An took out the Spirit Core Anim Beast he had gathered to give to Fu Lie Wei. "This is the Spirit Core I deliberately collected for you, please accept this as my apology for not being so forthright with you!" fang An said.

"I'll definitely take it! Thank you very much, and regarding massalu, we should not need to discuss it anymore," Fu Lie Wei said.

Fang An nodded then Fu Lie Wei turned to the hot air balloon and said, "Go back to your friends!" fu Lie Wei.

"Then you're alone?"

Fu Lie Wei shook his head as he replied, "I have to return soon, since it's been almost three years since I didn't come home!" fu Lie Wei.

Fang An immediately understood, he himself also had to go home because at his house his father and mother were already waiting for him.

"All right then! Since you already know who I am, if you have time to visit my place!" fang An said.

"Yes!" replied Fu Lie Wei.

"Then I'll come back!" fang An said and answered with the most warm nods and smiles to Fang An.

Fang An also smiled, but he also felt pain from having to hurt Fu Lie Wei's feelings, Fang An also knew that Fu Lie Wei's warm smile was actually a fake smile where it was actually a smile of sadness.

"Lie Wei, I'm sorry! I'm forced to hurt your feelings, hopefully you can find a better man than me!" inner Fang An and then he immediately darted away leaving Fu Lie Wei.

After Fang An had gone far away, Fu Lie Wei who was trying to hold back his tears finally had no power anymore, she immediately closed her mouth and cried out all her pain with tears and tears that were no longer contained.

Fu Lie Wei turned around then she flew towards her Sect with tears that could not stop, no matter how strong she was at the moment, Fu Lie Wei was still a woman who would also be unable to endure the pain with a wounded heart, her pain exceeding the pain pierced by a sword.
