Chapter: 16

Done with the Black Demon Mercenary Group, everyone within the Phoenix Clan were happy.

But their happiness doubled to the point they started to cry when Yun Che lifted the Phoenix Suppression from them.

It was quite easy for him and all it took him was to mark everyone within the map and use it on them. Anyways, all of them were registered as allies by the system so it was quite easy removing Phoenix Suppression at once.

Yun Che wanted to spend some time alone to learn more about Menu but Baichuan said that there was a banquet held for Yun Che by the villagers. In the end, he decided to attend it.

Just like that, some days passed.

Standing in front of the bed on which Cang Yue laid, Yun Che had a worried expression on his face.

He was wondering why she hasn't woken up yet even though some days have passed.

He wondered if he had entered a coma or something. That would be a new headache to deal with.

Thankfully, he knew there was no such case and she should be awakened soon. He could only lament at his genius for being such a medical genius.

{Can you not be a narcissist for a second? It is repulsive to this princess!}

{Says who.} Yun Che rolled his eyes. {Embrace it already, Jasmine. We both are narcissists. We both are feathers of the same bird!}

{Humph! This princess only states the truth. It's not this princess's fault that you people can't comprehend it other than calling it narcissism.}

{Never let water reach your feet, Jasmine. You're doing great.}

"Ugh…"

Just then, a soft groan resounded within the room. Both Jasmine and Yun Che looked towards Cang Yue whose eyes fluttered open.

Two beautifully stunning black orbs revealed themselves to the world.

She pushed her body upward and looked around the room in confusion before a look of realization appeared over her face. She seemed to remember what happened before she lost consciousness.

A panicked expression appeared over her face as she hurriedly looked right and left, examining her body as if checking something.

"Don't worry. No one touched you while you were asleep."

The sudden male voice startled her.

Cang Yue hurriedly looked from where it came from and saw a handsome man standing some distance away from her bed. With his hands crossed in front of his chest and his long hair tied in a ponytail, he was amusingly staring at her.

Seeing that face, Cang Yue remembered why she was in this place in the first place! It was this man! She had been following this man nonstop for days only to lose her consciousness when she finally found him. She thought she finally achieved her goal but her hopes shattered when she didn't find him the first time when she woke up.

She almost started crying when Baichuan appeared and explained to her the situation. Knowing he was in this village, she also decided to stay until she finally met him.

Who knew that the village would be attacked by vicious mercenaries during her stay.

She remembered that she lost her consciousness while trying to defeat the leader of the mercenary group.

But now seeing that she was perfectly fine without any damage done to her body, she knew that this man must have saved them. After all, except for her and him, there was no one strong enough to even fight with the people from the mercenary group.

"What the—!?" As if the damned had broken, Cang Yue suddenly started to cry, stunning Yun Che.

Cang Yue had led her whole life like a princess; pampered and safe. One could imagine the amount of stress she had accumulated in these past days. Searching for Yun Che for days nonstop and then losing her consciousness just to wake up to fight another group of people before losing her consciousness again.

The stress had slowly accumulated in her mind.

Now seeing Yun Che, the main reason for her suffering yet the man who saved her, all her stress was released in the form of tears.

{Congratulations! You just made a girl cry by just existing. This princess can not be more proud of you, Yun Che.}

Hearing the sound of clapping in his mind, Yun Che's face twitched.

'What do you mean I made her cry? It's fate-chan, okay! I have no say in this!'

"Ugh… Calm down, miss. You are ruining your face." Yun Che smiled and tried his best to console her, which he sucked by the way. "Your crying face looks ugly…"

{...}

Cang Yue, who heard Yun Che calling her ugly, had her tears intensified.

'Goddammit! I just couldn't! I couldn't complete the sentence. It's too cheeky! Your crying face looks ugly, so why don't smile more—ugghhhhhh! Just thinking makes me physically cringe!'

"Come on. You're an adult! Why are you even crying in the first place!?"

In the end, Yun Che could only resort to the famous technique he had read about in the past—headpatting!

'It works magic on fictional people—or so I have read.'

"I-I'm not… sob… crying…" Cang Yue tried her best to clear tears from her eyes while saying between her sobbing.

"Yeah, right…" Yun Che rolled his eyes. As if he was believing her.

Finally, after patting her head and holding her hand for some time, she finally calmed down.

But now she had her whole face dyed in crimson. She couldn't believe she showed such childish behavior in front of an unknown man.

Yes, unknown man. She knows nothing about him! The only reason she even followed him was because of his fate and luck.

Yun Che could also see that she was too embarrassed right now to even say anything. Not only she cried like a fucking child in front of him, she was even cosoled by an unknown man who "touched" her.

Yun Che knew that it was quite a big thing in Chinese novels. He could smell drama in the air!

'I hope not. I'm not good with such genres.'

In the end, he decided to leave the room and wait for Cang Yue to fully calm down before talking.
