Phoenix Cries Across the World: The Cold-Hearted Princess is Too Alluring

But being moved is just being moved.

Her feelings for him were too strong to bear Yu Yan's deep affection, so she avoided the topic and chose to back down.

She couldn't give Yu Yan the same deep affection, because she gave her deep affection to her A Yuan. They were destined to be apart, that's probably how it was.

……

Chu Yingge had only taken a few steps out of the Valley of Divine Physicians when she saw Mu Ziyuan and the others walking towards the Valley of Divine Physicians.

The first person to run over was not Mu Ziyuan, but Yun Nuo.

When Yunnuo saw the living Chu Yingge, she rushed over, her face beaming with joy.

"Master, are you really better? You didn't know we were so worried about you. Can you even walk now? Why didn't you wait for us to pick you up? The people from Divine Healer Valley are really something, couldn't they have kept you a little longer? What if something had happened to you on the way?"

"Yun Nuo!" Mu Zi was a little angry. Without thinking, she went up and pulled Yun Nuo away. Yun Nuo wanted to say something, but in the end, she held back.

Because she knew that her presence was somewhat in the way at that moment.

Although they were only ten steps apart, it seemed as if Chu Yingge and Mu Ziyuan were worlds apart.

Mu Ziyuan had been worried all along, but now that he saw Chu Yingge standing unharmed in front of him, even this tough man couldn't hold back his tears, though he ultimately didn't let them fall.

But it was this sight of her teary eyes that made Chu Yingge's heart clench.

"Why are you crying? Shouldn't I be the one crying? You were the one who abandoned me three years ago, but now I'm the one walking into your life. I love you so much, what else do you have to cry about?"

“Ge’er… come here.”

"Why don't you come to me? I walked all that distance between us, can't you just take the initiative and walk towards me when we're only ten steps apart?"

"Ge'er, be good, listen to me, come here." Mu Ziyuan remained standing still, waiting for Chu Yingge to walk towards him.

The distance of ten steps felt like an eternity to Chu Yingge. When she finally reached Mu Ziyuan's side, she realized that it wasn't that Mu Ziyuan wouldn't walk towards her, but that he couldn't.

Mu Ziyuan pulled Chu Yingge into his arms, his legs went weak, and he leaned against her. But the strength in his embrace didn't lessen at all; it felt as if he wanted to meld Chu Yingge into his body.

In that instant, Chu Yingge suddenly realized that the man in front of her was actually responding with a rare depth of affection.

Do you regret it?

"Every moment I leave you is filled with regret."

What would you do if I died?

"I'll die with you."

"A-Yuan, do you know? I've always known that you've never given up on me. What really makes me angry is that you never ask me anything and just make decisions for my own good on your own. You only think that it's for my own good, but why don't you ask me if I need it?"

Mu Ziyuan didn't hear what was said after that, because he was captivated by Chu Yingge's "A Yuan".

I have never thought the name A Yuan sounded so beautiful.

Hearing the tears he had just been holding back, he couldn't control them anymore.

Feeling the dampness on her shoulder, Chu Yingge reached out and poked Mu Ziyuan's waist: "You're such a grown man, yet you're still crying like this. You're so pathetic... Also, my injuries haven't fully healed yet. Have you thought about how I feel, leaning all your weight on me like this?"

"I also want to not rely on you, but I can't help it, my legs have no strength."

Mu Ziyuan was telling the truth; from the moment he saw Chu Yingge, he felt completely drained of strength.

During the seven days and seven nights that Chu Yinge was unconscious, he himself stayed up all day without changing his clothes. He was indeed haggard, but for Chu Yinge's sake, he held on to his last breath and did not collapse. But now that he saw Chu Yinge, all his strength was gone.

Chu Yingge rolled her eyes helplessly. Heavens above! What kind of world is this? What did she do wrong?

In the end, it was Mu Zi who helped her Emperor and Yun Nuo who helped her master, and the four of them returned to the Feather Clan.

Since Chu Yingge had agreed to go back with Mu Ziyuan, the Feather Clan naturally wouldn't stay any longer. After three days, the entire army returned, and the Feather Clan's territory was ultimately returned to Yu Yan.

……

Mu Ziyuan unified the Nine Provinces and established the capital in a neighboring country of Qingshui Kingdom. Therefore, after resting in the capital for a few days, Chu Yingge returned to Qingshui Kingdom.

The current emperor of the Qingshui Kingdom is Chu Yingge's older brother, Chu Yinnan. He has only one empress, Mu Xier, and a son and a daughter.

It had been a long time since they last met. Chu Yinnan had matured considerably, and Mu Xier was poised and elegant, exuding the air of an empress.

"Brother is living a very comfortable life, but the harem is empty. Shouldn't we take in some concubines? One empress is not enough!" Chu Yingge teased.

In the past, Mu Xi'er would have already fallen out with Chu Yingge, but because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, or because Mu Xi'er was no longer the little girl she used to be, she actually nodded slightly at Chu Yingge's suggestion.

“You’re right. I’ve been thinking about that too, but the Emperor just won’t take any more concubines. He says he only loves me in this lifetime, which really puts me in a difficult position.”

"Pfft!" Chu Yingge couldn't help but burst out laughing. She herself had forgotten when the last time she laughed was.

Mu Ziyuan held Chu Yingge in his arms, his eyes full of smiles.

"What a coincidence, I also only love the Empress and have no plans to take any concubines."

"Chu Yingge, you're so lucky!" Mu Xi'er joked.

She didn't like Chu Yingge, but she knew that Chu Yingge was her seventh brother's beloved and her husband's most cherished sister, so she was more tolerant of her.

Chu Yinnan stood silently to the side, her eyes constantly moist.

He had always thought he would never have the chance to see Chu Yingge again in his life, but at this moment, seeing this scene, he couldn't help but speak.

Knowing Chu Yinnan's thoughts, Mu Xi'er pulled Mu Ziyuan away.

"Seventh Brother, it's been so long since we last met. Come on, let's go over there, I have something to tell you."

"it is good."

Although Mu Ziyuan was unwilling, he knew that it was the right thing to do to give Chu Yingge and Chu Yinnan the time they had.

After Mu Ziyuan and Mu Xier left, Chu Yinnan walked up to Chu Yingge, her eyes shining.

"How have you been all these years?"

How have you been all these years?

Are you alright?

Okay?

Chu Yingge felt that no one else's words were as touching as Chu Yinnan's. She had not lived well all these years, but when Chu Yinnan asked her this question, she couldn't bring herself to say anything.

Chu Yingge did not answer, so Chu Yinnan began to answer his own question.

"I suppose you haven't been doing well either. If you were doing well, you wouldn't have stayed away for three years. Do you know how much I've missed you during these three years? If I had known that seeing you off three years ago was the last time I would see you, I would regret it for the rest of my life. Why couldn't I have kept you back then?"

"Yinge, do you know? My life is good now, but only I know that I want to wait for you to come back in my lifetime. You are my sister, Chu Yinnan's sister, the person I cherish in my heart. Although I know that the hope of your return is very slim, I am still waiting because I know you will not abandon me, right?"

"My sister, Chu Yinnan's sister, wouldn't be so heartless, would she?"

Chu Yinnan spoke a lot, and he had even more to say to Chu Yinge, but when Chu Yinge actually stood in front of him, he couldn't say anything he wanted to say. He just wanted to know how the person in front of him had been doing for the past three years.

He wanted to know what kind of torment he had endured and what experiences he had had during those three years.

Chu Yingge's cold heart was gradually warmed. Sure enough, this was her true home. Even though Yu Yan had given her unparalleled favor, she still liked to stay here. Her family, her friends, and her lover were all here.

"Brother, don't worry, I'm doing fine. For the past three years, I've wanted to come back, but a lot has happened, so things didn't go as planned. But you should know, brother, I've never forgotten that I'm Chu Yinnan's sister, or that I'm Chu Yingge."

As she spoke, Chu Yingge lowered her head and continued, "Brother, do you know? Seeing you safe and sound in this world now, I really feel that all the grievances I suffered before were nothing, because I have finally made it through the bitterness and come to the end of this journey."

"So my sister really came back, right?"

"Yes, your sister Chu Yingge, Chu Yinnan, has really returned."

Chu Yinnan could no longer hold back. He went over and hugged Chu Yingge tightly, cherishing her very much.

"You're finally back. I've finally waited for you."

"Yeah, I'm back."

In the following time, Chu Yinnan asked Chu Yingge in detail about what had happened in the past three years. Chu Yingge answered very carefully. Chu Yinnan was someone she trusted very much, so everything she said was true, without any concealment.

Mu Xi'er pulled Mu Ziyuan away, not just to make room for Chu Yingge and Chu Yinnan, but because she really had something to say to Mu Ziyuan.

"Seventh Brother, you've finally returned with Chu Yingge as you wished, but how much longer can your body hold on?"

"I don't know. Let's take a step and see."

Although Mu Ziyuan's health wasn't as bad as Mu Zi said, he certainly wouldn't live for more than a few years.

Mu Xi'er was aware of this matter, after all, she had personally witnessed how much effort her seventh brother had put in for Chu Yingge.

"Seventh Brother, if you were to die, have you ever thought about how Chu Yingge would feel? She finally got what she wanted, and you're really..."
