YILING PATRIACH'S PROTECTOR

24

Huatian was knock out of her consciousness and was delivered straight Wen Rouhan's bedroom. She was then cleaned, beautified, and dressed into a flimsy white silk see-through robe without any undergarments. Xiao She can feel a sense of distress from outside her space but as long as she was unconscious and called out she will remain inside.

Wen Rouhan went towards his bed and found the girl in those clothes. He immediately took it off and started to run his hands on her body, enjoying the soft velvety feeling of her smooth white skin. He leaves red marks and bruises on her skin before penetrating her. She groaned in unease and tried to move away only to be pinned harshly against the bed and was ruthlessly devoured by Wen Rouhan.

Zhen Huatian tried to wake up, to open her eyes and send Xiao She out and find Ah-Xian but she couldn't. She felt her consciousness trapped inside a barrier and her body felt uncomfortable.

In no time, the Sunshot campaign commenced and days bathed in blood and gore. Everyone was exhausted, tired. Some were scared and some doesn't waver and used their swords to kill their fallen comrades that Wen Rouhan used as his puppets. Everyone marched to Qishan, ready for the final battle.

The night before it happens, Wei Ying was approached by a familiar green snake. Lang Wangji who was sitting next to him, almost killed the poor animal if Wei Ying didn't stop him.

"Xaio She, you're here! Does this mean Jiejie is near?"- Wei Ying asked the snake, aside from his Shijie and other close friends, the second most important person to him is his Lianhua Jiejie.

Lan Xichen was approaching them and found the familiar-looking snake wrapped on Wei Ying's wrist.

The atmosphere around them feels wrong and he immediately walks towards them.

"Childe Wei, Is something wrong?"- Lan Xichen asked him and sat next to them.

".... Childe Lan..... J-Jiejie's d-dead...."- Wei Ying's voice was barely a whisper, his eyes red holding anger and grief for his sister.

"W-What? What do you m-mean? S-She can't be- N-No..."- Lan Xichen lost himself and stared at the snake on his wrist. It was weak, lying against his skin and stiff.

"H-How did the snake-"Lan Xichen asked but didn't further continue,

"She... gone undercover and went inside the sect, Wen Rouhan and her made a deal and g-gave her a demonic c-core *sniffles* Jiejie used her true face and W-Wen Rouhan v-violated her... when she became pregnant- she killed herself, setting Xiao She and ordering her to go to us,"- Wei Ying gritted his teeth and look at the snake.

'Childe... I am going to pass now...'

"N-No! Xiao She stays with us! Don't die!"- Wei Ying shouted aggrieved, carefully patting the snake's head.

"In this lifetime... It was fun knowing you all"- The snake smiled at the three of them, before slowly disappearing.

The three mourned, fueling the grief, resentment, and sadness inside their hearts to kill Wen Rouhan and his sect before retrieving Zhen Huatian's body.

The fight was bloody, many have died and they almost thought they were gonna lose, who would've thought that Three Yin Irons is not an opponent from Wei Wuxian's Tiger Seal. They won the battle...  with Jin Guanyao that has been inside Wen Rouhan's Sect and guiding everyone from the inside.

Nie Mingjue had mixed feelings seeing him there and killed the enemy, but he still couldn't forgive the man and brush him off like nothing. Amidst of everyone clearing the Qishan Wen Sect, Lan Xichen, Wei Ying and Lan Wangji searched the underground of the sect to look for Zhen Huatian's body.

They entered a large tomb chamber, the last one in the underground that they haven't gone into.

It was full of black roses, growing under the moonlight, they never thought that searching for her body will take them a whole day and night to find.

There was a dark rosewood coffin placed flat in the middle of the chamber. A lone path is made from dirt. They slowly made their way to the coffin and slowly opened the lid.

A lady in crimson robe with a black Phoenix embroidered on her skirt lays still inside. Her hair in an elegant loop and decorated with golden phoenix hairpins and pearls. Her skin translucent white, looking milky and soft like white jade. On her left hand was a black jade ring inserted at her ring finger. The three didn't like that ring, they saw it on Wen Rouhan, it was a disgusting wedding ring. Wei Ying pulls the ring off, looking at it and feeling an oppressive power encased inside the ring.

She still looks the same after waiting for them to come. Wei Ying gritted his teeth before kneeling beside the coffin and crying his eyes silently. Lan Xichen was silently crying too while Lan Wangji stared sadly at them, his heart aches to see them miserable.

"Shall we move her now?"- After an hour, Lan Xichen asked them. He is still the one who will represent their Cloud Recess and needs to go back before the meeting.

"Yes, let's move her... I... I know a place..."- Wei Ying said and the two brothers help transfer the coffin to another place.

Near the burial mounds, there was an untouched cave full of Qi, the inside is filled with glow worms that are hanging on the ceiling of the cave while the bottom is filled with patches of young grass and wildflowers.

They set her coffin in the middle of the wildflowers, the three men quietly stared at the close coffin, before uttering a silent prayer and leaving the place after they sealed it from the outside.

When someone you cherish pass, you could feel like your whole being was left with nothing else to live for. Like you have an empty hole existing inside your body and soul. The world is dim and quiet, gloomy, and uninteresting. 

Liquor became a friend, the guqin's and the flute's music travels into the air with no reply. In the time of a new revolution, there are two males with bright eyes and empty hearts. The war has passed and the is the existence of internal power struggle. They view the hero as the enemy, they tarnish the good with bad, spreading rumors and people to condemn the said person.

One of them became the head of the Sect, while the other was shun away by society. Years past, the world wasn't the same as it used to be.
