Chapter 42: Confession
--"Oh, it's really a good place to live, do you like it?" Tang Yin said and looked at Huang Feifei who was looking at the surroundings in awe.
She nodded firmly.
How could she not like it?
It was a beautiful house.
But she remained doubtful as to whether this was a good thing, so she stared at Tang Yin.
--"Young Master, don't you think it's a waste to exchange that great cultivation technique for this small house? A cultivation technique is a very valuable thing, after all..." From the way she spoke, it was obvious that it was a total waste for her to do that.
Tang Yin simply shrugged his shoulders.
--"No, I don't think it's a waste. Simply, I wanted to get rid of some cultivation techniques I have that are of no use to me. I found a good opportunity and decided to use it, so it's not a waste." He replied, and she was surprised.
Every day she was more and more amazed at the capabilities of this young master.
A 3-star earth-grade cultivation technique is something that is of no use to him?
Huang Feifei even felt a small pain in her chest when she heard that.
In her hometown, such a cultivation technique was only held by great families, like the Huang Family, and it was rumored that they only had one of those.
And this person says it is something that is of no use to him?
In the end, she found nothing to say, and he just smiled.
-- "More importantly, Miss Huang, do you plan to enter the Academy with that token Miss Jun gave you? Or will you take the tests?" he asked.
Huang Feifei thought for a moment and then stared at him.
--"Young Master, I want to take the tests. It will serve as my apprenticeship and training, but I will do what you want me to do. If I was able to get this far it is only because of you." She replied forcefully.
Tang Yin then nodded toward her and reached over to stroke her head a little.
--"Little Miss, even though I helped you, it doesn't mean that I should choose for you something so important to you. Still, I'm glad you have that determination. It seems your long-term vision has improved." He said with a smile, making Huang Feifei embarrassed for a moment.
But after hearing everything he had said, she shook her head.
--"No, you can choose whatever you want for me. As long as it doesn't get in the way of the vengeance I must fulfill, I promise that I will fulfill every single thing you want me to fulfill." She said and then hesitated for a moment but looked up and stared at Tang Yin.
Although he wore his usual mask, she felt that she was looking him in the eyes, so she spoke.
--"...My best friend was a special person. She could not cultivate; she had no strength whatsoever. Despite that, she was coveted by everyone because what was special about her lay in the fact that she was a visionary, many dubbed her a saint." She said, but despite noticing that Tang Yin's shoulders shook a little upon hearing this, she continued to speak firmly.
--"She could read the stars. The first time we met, she told me that someday I would fall in love with a great person, a very powerful man capable of covering the sky with one hand.
True, it's different from what she had told me, but she also told me that when that day came, I should hold on to that person, otherwise, I would regret it for the rest of my life." She said and paused for a moment, her cheeks flushed at this point, but she did not look away from Tang Yin's 'eyes'.
--"...That's why, Young Master Tang Yin. If you want to take me somewhere else, I will not refuse. If you want me to enter the back of the academy, I won't refuse either. I will obediently do what you want me to do, after all, I must hold on to the person who made me fall in love, right?" She said and smiled at the end.
That beautiful smile at the end was so beautiful that it overshadowed the beauty of her surroundings.
Even Tang Yin was stunned to hear this.
He had seen many beautiful women in his life. He had traveled for years with beautiful women. All his wives were even more beautiful than Huang Feifei and were always there for him.
But...
This is the first time someone has said something like this to him. Moreover, she is telling, even though she knows the state he is in.
He is no longer that Divine Son praised by billions of people.
He is no longer that Young Master heir of a Supreme Sect.
He is no longer the Tang Yin who once struck terror into the 11 Supreme Sects that attacked him.
He is no longer him.
Now, he is a weak person.
No cultivation whatsoever, no ability to defend himself.
Right now, even the beautiful girl in front of him could kill him if they fought head-on.
Right now...
He is a mortal.
His current life expectancy is so short that he could soon disappear from the face of the earth and be forgotten.
His pride and beauty had been tarnished.
This is something he had never experienced before and never expected to experience.
Despite that...
There was an incredibly beautiful person in front of him, telling him that she would do whatever he wanted to do because she had fallen in love with him.
At this moment...
He was in his lowest state of existence, a state he had never thought he would be in. Yet...
There is a person who is really willing to follow him and love him like this.
This is a feeling that cannot be easily replaced.
This is a feeling...
Very beautiful.
Which Tang Yin felt like huge ripples in his heart.
Tang Yin then lowered his gaze a little.
He didn't say anything for a whole minute, and after that, he brought a hand to his face to take off his mask.
He was wearing bandages under it to cover the wound that was now healing.
After that, he removed the bandage from his face and dropped it.
This action surprised Huang Feifei a little, but when his face was uncovered, she was stunned.
Tang Yin then looked up again and looked at Huang Feifei.
The huge scars that crossed his face were in full view.
They had not yet fully healed, moreover, although she could not see it, Tang Yin could feel the burning created by the energy of the abyss in these wounds.
Still, this time Tang Yin decided to show himself as he was right now, in front of Huang Feifei.
He wanted to see one thing.
He wanted to try one thing.
So, after doing so, he smiled at her.
--"...This is my face right now. My face right now is stained by these wounds. I am no longer the same as before. Now I'm a cripple who can't even cultivate. Everything about me is a total waste right now...." Tang Yin said and sighed a little at the end.
--"Do you still think so? Do you think I'm worthy to be with you? Do you think I'm worth it? If you see my face, do you feel I'm worth you being with me?" Tang Yin asked and then shrugged his shoulders at the end.
--"I'm not afraid to tell you that in this world I no longer have a family, I have no backup, I have no place to call home, let alone someone I can fully trust. All I have are powerful enemies." He said without looking away from Huang Feifei's beautiful eyes.
--"...With all that, do you still think I'm worth being with?" Tang Yin asked again and finished with all he had to say.
He only waited for Huang Feifei's reply, patiently...
