The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 125 Where You Should Be

“Huang Miaoling,” the soft voice was calling. “Huang Miaoling ...”

Amidst the darkness, the voice repeatedly called out his name. However, Huang Miaoling did not know the owner of the voice at all.

“Really you don't know?” ask that voice again, sounding sulky.

Huang Miaoling wanted to ask, but all the senses he had were dysfunctional, except for his hearing. He asked in his heart, hoping that his mouth would open and make a sound.

“Who?” Suddenly, Huang Miaoling heard his own voice. ‘I can talk!’ thought.

“You are outrageous,” grumbled the owner of the voice, making Huang Miaoling feel familiar.

“Lan’er?”

A soft laugh rang out, warming Huang Miaoling's previously cold heart. “You missed me?” tanya Lan’er.

“You said we would never meet before the rope of fate separated us,” replied Huang Miaoling, deliberately not answering. “I think your words are unreliable,” he said in a defiant tone, laughter coming out of his lips.

“I didn't lie about it,” said Lan’er. “Again, we really did not meet in person, this is just a dream,” he explained. Quickly, that carefree tone of speech disappeared, replaced with a serious and gloomy tone, “I'm sorry.”

For a moment, Huang Miaoling was shocked. “Why?” tanyakanya.

“I've tried, really,” replied Lan’er, not fully answer Huang Miaoling's question. “However, I was unable to save you from that torment.”

It didn't take long before Huang Miaoling understood the direction Lan’er spoke. “That's inevitable,” reply. “You have helped a lot, even by violating destiny. I'm not that greedy until I still blame you for such trivialities.” He was silent for a moment. “Am I dead?”

This time, Lan’er's laughter was so cheerful it sounded. That loud laughter made Huang Miaoling feel a little embarrassed. “Did you really ask if you were dead or not?” tanya Lan’er in a mocking tone.

“Can't you directly answer?” huang Miaoling replied, questioning why Lan’er sounded so childish here. ‘Wait, she always acts childish, only her strength that makes her look majestic,’ maki the woman in heart.

“I can hear your thoughts, you remember?” reprimand Lan’er, who if Huang Miaoling could see his face must be rolling his eyeballs. “Absponding to your question, no, you're alive.” He explained, “Liang Fenghong saved you in time.”

Recalling the figure of Liang Fenghong the last time he met, Huang Miaoling was slightly surprised. “Ah! You helped Liang Fenghong?” tanyakanya. “What's the reason she was able to appear in Shi so quickly?” He frowned, questioning Lan’er's ability. “Wait, really? You moved thousands of people with your power?! Is Wu really safe?”

Lan’er fell silent, feeling dizzy with everything Huang Miaoling asked. Then, he said, “Ask your husband when you wake up.”

Huang Miaoling clicked his tongue, feeling annoyed that Lan’er had never answered his question. “Did you come to my dream just to apologize to me?” tanyakanya. “I feel flattered,” he said in a cynical tone, deliberately wanting to challenge Lan’er.

Although unable to see his face, but Huang Miaoling could imagine a smile on the face Lan’er as he said, “Of course ..” Not a cheerful smile, but a sad smile full of bitterness like the last time he showed up before leaving. “Again, I don't know if this will be the last time we talk.”

For some reason, Lan’er's words made the woman's heart ache. “Lan’er,” call it. “Why did you help me?”

Silent.

“Lan’er?” Huang Miaoling felt that something was wrong.

“Because I am guilty of you,” reply Lan’er made Huang Miaoling feel very confused, “and I want to justify it.”

“Even if confirming it requires your life?” Huang Miaoling was unable to contain himself. “I don't understand.”

“Heh,” Huang Miaoling snorting laughing. “No need for you to tell me that,” reply. “Bracket is not part of my life plan.”

“Good.”

Huang Miaoling had no intention of asking further about the mistake Lan’er had made on him. Kentara Lan’er will not answer any questions regarding this matter.

Therefore, Huang Miaoling decided to discuss something else. “You know that Lu Si is looking for you, right?”

“From everything we can talk about, you should call that guy?” Lan’er laughed, feeling Huang Miaoling do such a ridiculous thing.

“He almost killed me because of you, of course I have to talk about it,” Huang Miaoling said. “So?” the woman referred to her first question.

“I know,” replied Lan’er, it was clear the girl's effort to be tough. Before Huang Miaoling said anything else, Lan’er added, “However, I will not meet him.”

Huang Miaoling was slightly surprised. “Why?”

“He tried to change the impossible.”

If Huang Miaoling could move his body, his forehead would have been wrinkled by now. “Are you not talking about yourself?” she said, clearly remembering that the magical flow that punished and tortured Lan’er at that time was caused by the girl's intention to open the veil of heaven to her. “What does he want to change?”

“Your destiny .. and my destiny,” replied Lan’er, making Huang Miaoling speechless, becoming increasingly dizzy. Then, the girl added, “Relax, Miaoling, all the questions in your mind ... one day will be answered.” The shadow Lan’er smiled formed clearly from her carefree tone when saying, “Now, go back to where you should be.”

***

The woman's eyes opened slowly, softly and calmly, not at all forced or surprised. The lentic eyelashes vibrated as the petals moved open and closed several times, adjusting the light that hit the vision.

‘We really talked in dreams?’ inner Huang Miaoling, feel funny. ‘That girl is truly a mystery.’

Huang Miaoling tried to move his body, nothing hurt. He slowly turned his gaze and moved his head to the left, towards the arrival of the light—window. Just then, Huang Miaoling was surprised to find a handsome face plastered before his eyes.

‘A Feng ...,’ whispered Huang Miaoling gently in heart. The woman's black bead traced her husband's face, finding dried tears. ‘She cried?’ His heart hurts.

Reflexively, Huang Miaoling stuck out his hand, wanting to touch the man's face. However, just as his fingertips touched Liang Fenghong's facial skin, something gripped his wrist.

“Ugh!” Huang Miaoling grimaced, feeling that his hand would be crushed. He cursed inwardly, feeling like this had happened just a moment ago.

“Ling’er!” Liang Fenghong who woke up in shock immediately released his grip. With a guilty face, the man said, “You okay?” His hand again grabbed Huang Miaoling's hand, this time rubbing it gently.

Seeing Liang Fenghong reveal an expression on his face made Huang Miaoling pensive, there was a warmth enveloping his heart. Then, the woman immediately threw herself into the man's arms.

Liang Fenghong was startled, and he froze in place. As his calm returned, the man glanced at the woman who was still hugging him tightly. “Ling’er ..”

“You survived ...” Huang Miaoling closed his eyes, enjoying the warmth the man gave. The fragrance of her soothing body made the woman feel .. she had returned to where she should have been. “I'll never let you go again.”
