Chapter 15: Mysterious bindings broken

As Xu Liang got dressed, he left his room. He walked through the long hallway as he tried to get to Yue's room. Fortunately, his room wasn't too far away from Yue's room and he soon got there.

"Yue? Can I come inside?" Xu Liang asked as he knocked on the door. He waited there for over a minute but there was no response, he began wondering if Yue wasn't inside.

He was about to knock again when the door suddenly opened. He immediately stopped his hand that was about to strike Yue's forehead.

"Brother, please come inside," Yue said with a smile as she invited Xu Liang inside.

"Thank you." Xu Liang said as he took his first step inside her room.

He looked around her room and noticed that it looked the same as it looked years ago. Nothing had changed throughout the years.

Xu Liang noticed the plate placed on the bed.

"Did Mengchan leave after delivering the breakfast?" He asked Yue as he walked towards the bed.

"Yes... I told her to take the food back, but she said that it was your order." Yue followed behind Xu Liang as she said.

"Yea, I told her to bring my plate here. I wanted to eat with you like we used to do before." Xu Liang said as a smile appeared on his face.

"Th...a..." Yue was stunned as she found it hard to find words to respond.

"You don't hate me, do you?" She asked Xu Liang as she looked down. She found it difficult to look into his eyes.

"Why are you looking down? Is there a reason I'm supposed to hate you?" Xu Liang asked as he looked totally oblivious.

"Because... because of yesterday... You don't detest me, right?"  She asked with uncertainty as her eyes evaded Xu Liang's gaze.

"Are you talking about your proposal? No, I don't hate you, silly. You did nothing wrong. You just expressed what you were feeling. Although those feelings might make things complicated because of our relationship, it is not a reason that I would detest you for. " Xu Liang found it difficult to address such a topic but he tried his best.

"Hmm..." Yue softly nodded her head as she walked towards Xu Liang.

"You were not eating because you were worried?" Xu Liang asked as he saw Yue walking towards him.

"Hmmm..." Yue again nodded her head as she sat on the bed near Xu Liang.

"Here... Eat... and don't worry about stupid stuff." Xu Liang said as he picked up the plate.

There was a bowl of soup on the plate along with a single spoon. The soup looked like a normal soup that Xu Liang had seen on earth but it was said to contain heavenly vitality leaves that were only found in the heavenly realm. It was said to be really tasty and healthy.

Xu Liang used the spoon as he took some of the soup on it. He moved the spoon towards Yue's lips.

Yue slowly opened her mouth and allowed Xu Liang to feed her. Although she enjoyed being fed by Xu Liang, there was a part of her that felt embarrassed as well.

Xu Liang kept feeding her as he gazed at her. Half of the bowl was already empty by now

"You won't eat?" Yue asked as she realized that Xu Liang was only feeding her and not eating himself.

Without waiting for his response, she took the spoon off his hands. This time she immersed the spoon in the soup and tried to feed him.

Xu Liang hesitated for a moment before he opened his lips and allowed her to feed him. Although Xu Liang found it strange, the situation had somehow turned to them taking turns and feeding each other.

Yue couldn't help but think about how she was eating from the same spoon that had touched Xu Liang's lips, but she secretly relished this feeling.

Soon, the soup was finished and the spoon finally went back to its original position on the plate.

"Do you want more? I'll call Mengchan if you are still hungry." Xu Liang said as he looked at Yue, who for some unknown reason had somewhat of a crimson face by now.

"I'm fine." She said in a low voice as she shook her head.

"Alright. I should go now."Xu Liang said as he stood up.

"Can we talk for..."  Yue abruptly stood up as well and tried to tell him something.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!" A scream suddenly escaped from her mouth as she grabbed her head tightly. Her body was flaming hot right now as she weakly cried in pain and immediately went unconscious.

She began to fall down as she lost all her strength, but Xu Liang hurriedly reacted and grabbed onto her.

As soon as he grabbed onto her, Something changed inside his body.

Goddess of Medicine Wen Yin had previously said that Xu Liang's soul was inside a void that she couldn't gain access to. Thus she only saw his soul trapped inside that void, but what she couldn't see were the hundreds of chains that were binding the soul.

Each chain seemed to contain the power of the universal laws that held onto Xu Liang's soul tightly. 

The chains were binding his soul like it was a prisoner that was not allowed to move.

As soon as Xu Liang touched Yue, one of the chains began cracking. The chain that looked like it would be unbreakable even if God himself tried to break them, strangely cracked by itself.

As the chain broke, Xu Liang also went unconscious. They both fell on top of each other on the bed that was right behind them. While Yue was at the bottom, Xu Liang was lying on top of her.

Xu Liang opened his eyes as he found himself in a strange place. It was an empty space.

He found that he was floating in the empty space that spread out for infinity. There was a large mirror in front of him but it didn't show his reflection. It seemed to show a whole different place.

It was like a mystical treasure that could gaze into the farthest of worlds.

He saw a strange scene in the mirror.
