Dong Hua wanted to hold her but could not move. He tried to speak, but nothing came out, he only watched as Feng Jiu stood swaying at the entrance of the barrier.

He always believed Feng Jiu to be beautiful, warm and pure but watching her fragile body moving the way it was.

The sadness etched on her lovely face as if the years of endless heartache weaved through every fibre of her being caused Dong Hua to anger at himself.

He was the source of pain that she felt, despite his many attempts to shield her from everything, it would seem fate wanted them to have nothing to do with each other.

Dong Hua heard his name but couldn't detach himself from his thoughts until Mo Yuan nudged him in the arm, forcing his attention.

Her words were short, and to the point, he had broken her heart many times, however, finally, she would be the one to walk away from him.

It took a few minutes for him to comprehend what she had said, but when he did, he felt his chest tighten, while, his stomach felt hollow as if everything in his body dried up, and intense throbbing began vibrating from his shoulders to the tips of his fingers.

The wind picked up until it began to swirl around them. Branches and dust slowly lifted from the ground as Dong Hua's emotions forced the current to react.

Mo Yuan recognised what was going on having seen it at Tai Chen Palace. Dong Hua had to face emotions; he believed he was incapable of having.

What Mo Yuan witnessed of Dong Hua in Tai Chen Palace were regret and sorrow, while the emotions Mo Yuan could discern amongst the chaos surrounding Dong Hua at this moment, was pain and unworthiness.

He knew that Dong Hua would not hear him if he spoke out loud because he could see Dong Hua trying desperately to understand what was going on.

'Dong Hua.' He spoke softly telepathically

Dong Hua did not respond.

'Dong Hua.' Mo Yuan spoke with more force.

He turned his gaze to Mo Yuan, but his body remained unmoving.

'You need to calm down.'

Mo Yuan could feel Dong Hua trying to disperse the power building, but with so much intensity, Dong Hua needed to be taken away or put to sleep, which was equally impossible. Instead, he urged Dong Hua again.

'Dong Hua, for her safety, please calm down.'

Dong Hua shut his eyes and breathed in a long breath; within minutes, he drew all the chaos into himself, which instantly made their surroundings calm.

Mo Yuan's jaw dropped in amazement. "What the hell was that Dong Hua? You just sucked up my force field, debris and even the atmosphere."

Dong Hua still needed to calm his heart rate so turned his back on the fox barrier and began walking towards the infirmary.

Knowing he was still trying to tranquillise the remainder of the chaos that raged only seconds ago, Mo Yuan waited for Dong Hua to answer and followed quietly.
