Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

362 Ye Jiu’s End

With the aid of pregnancy medicine and healthy food, Jun Hua's condition soon turned to be better. She didn't need to rest for a long time in the bed anymore, though Soujin would not allow her to step outside their room and would come to deliver her food every day.

From the shadows, Lou was basically stupefied when he, for the first time, saw his master served Jun Hua food. After a couple of times, he's already immune to it as though it's the usual thing. Still, he would wonder what the people would say if they know that the famous general was this attentive when facing with his wife.

Jun Hua looked towards the food on the tray Soujin brought with a helpless expression, "I'm not that weak to the point that I'm unable to move, you know?"

Soujin put the bowl on the side, "When you're healthier, we will see the head of Jun Tribe."

Jun Hua nodded her head agreeing to his demand. She took the bowl from the side table and started eating with Soujin accompanying her. In the midst of her eating, she looked towards the side suspiciously.

"Stay here," Soujin said before he moved and disappeared from her view.

Jun Hua can faintly hear the sound of people battling not far from the inn. Nevertheless, she didn't bother to go as she focused on the bowl of food in front of her and ate calmly.

Soujin appeared in front of the intruder and attacked heavily. With his power, the intruder immediately sent back to the wall. The intruder, named Ye Jiu, stared at Soujin with a surprised face as he didn't expect that Soujin would grow this much after their last battle.

What he didn't know was the rage of a man who nearly lost his wife and child was bigger than an ordinary general.

"You have lost your touch, Ye Jiu," Soujin said icily.

Ye Jiu rose to his feet again. He looked towards Soujin with a heated gaze, "I will take that girl and get the power to see the future again."

"Do you think I would let you?"

The two clashed heavily and it was painfully clear that Ye Jiu was no match for Soujin. On the side, Ming Hui was watching their fight from quite a distance. He knew that the two of them wouldn't engage in the fight for a long time since their differences were clear.

"Do you want to join in the fray?" Yan asked.

Ming Hui shook his head, "There is no way we could enter unless you're willing to meet with your creator."

"No thank you," Yan politely refused. From what he had seen, he knew that the ability from a person who was fighting for those they care about would rise exponentially. Jun Hua was more daring and powerful when she was facing Ye Jiu in Soujin's behalf, and Soujin was more ruthless and powerful when he was fighting someone who aimed to harm his wife.

The fight soon ended and Ye Jiu was trashed terribly by Soujin. The man cannot even lift his hand anymore as Soujin pushed him back to the wall.

Ye Jiu stared to the side and noticed that his subordinates were annihilated by Shu, Lou, Yasha, and Yamin completely. They were highly proficient in their movement as they quickly finished off the elites Ye Jiu brought here. With their emotion still raging at this man for hurting Jun Hua, neither one of them slacked off the in the slightest.

"There will be no one who came to save you anymore," Soujin said coldly.

Ye Jiu looked back to Soujin. He knew that he had already lost the moment he let her go off his grasp on that road just a few days before. Waiting for him to recover and attack again had turned into a big mistake. He silently waited for the sword to slash at him and end his life, but it never came.

"Why are you so fixated in earning the power to see the future?" Jun Hua's voice trailed to his ear.

Ye Jiu opened his eyes again and looked towards the girl in front of him. The girl was standing silently, and she looked at him with a pair of cold eyes. Soujin frowned the moment she appeared, but he didn't say anything and merely stood to block Ye Jiu's eyes from her.

"Why?" Ye Jiu murmured the question as he looked to the floor. In the first place, he never wanted the power to see the future as he believed that he was already strong enough. But, the girl gave him the power thus allowing him to see his 'real' fate of getting killed in the hand of Soujin in the war between the Pan Kingdom and Ming Kingdom.

He didn't ask for it, but she was the one sacrificing her own life for him. For him, it was an utterly foolish decision, but it also allowed him to prepare for the battle. Using the chances she had given to him, he built his army and grew them to become powerful in order to contend against Soujin.

And yet, the future that previously wasn't shown to him appeared. He was instead defeated by a little girl because of a much deeper plot they have prepared. Should he die in Soujin's hand, she would never step forward, which was why the future he had seen was different from the one he experienced.

"I want to conquer the world," Ye Jiu answered.

Jun Hua's eyes flickered for a moment. She noticed something in Ye Jiu's eyes that told her that he was different previously. He was not someone who would think that just by knowing the future, he would be invincible.

She remembered that Soujin had once told her that there is one peculiar gaze Ye Jiu had shown on the battlefield once. They were not sure what the meaning of that gaze previously, but now she can faintly guess what that was.

"You didn't kill her, but she killed herself for you, isn't it?"

Ye Jiu didn't answer. He looked towards Soujin once again, "Don't you already know the answer?"

The way Ye Jiu looked at him right now was something Soujin never expected to see. In the ancient era, where a man can have many women inside their harem, the number of people who were willing to stay loyal to one person can be counted with fingers.

Soujin chose to have one because he had seen for himself how his parents conducted themselves and his mother was always telling him about how low the role of a woman itself. Besides, when he saw Jun Hua and how she attracted him in several areas, he knew that he won't be able to look at any other women aside from her.

Ming Hui chose to stay with one because he had experienced the life of a woman and he knew how hard it was for them to share their husband. He also knew that the man would have harder times to face with women who have a deadly tongue. To spare himself from the trouble, he picked a sharp tongued lady and in the process fell in love with her deeper and deeper.

As for Yan… the others were pretty sure that he might not stay loyal to one girl. That was unless he fell head over heels to a certain outstanding lady.

Soujin looked at the man's eyes as he thought to himself; if Jun Hua were to sacrifice herself for him, can he stay calm and live his life like nothing happened? That was impossible.

"Do you want me to send you to him or let you fulfill her wish?" before Soujin said anything, Jun Hua's voice can be heard.

Ye Jiu snorted silently, "What do you know about her wish?"

Jun Hua shook her head, "I don't know about her wish, but if I'm in her stead and knew that someone I love is going to die soon, I would do anything I can to allow him to live longer and be happy in this life."

Ye Jiu stayed silent. For a moment, he could see his fiancée silhouette on Jun Hua's figure. His fiancée knew that she didn't have long to live, so she used her life to grant him a chance to live longer and not rushed headfirst towards his own death. He had long known about it, but he always denied it as he wanted to prove to her that he can change the vision she saw.

Soujin actually wanted to chop this prince to his death right now. However, he didn't wish for Jun Hua to see what he wanted to do to this prince.

Seeing Soujin's slight movement, Jun Hua knew that he was barely restraining himself. "Even if I want to help you and forgive you for what you did, I don't think I can. Goodbye, Prince Ye Jiu."

Ye Jiu's eyes were looking towards Jun Hua's departing back. The sight made him recalled his deceased fiancée that had died years ago for him; a foolish woman whom he loved so much. His gaze returned back to Soujin.

Soujin was still looking towards the man with a gaze filled with rage. Even though he understood a bit of this man's feeling, he could never forgive him. "Even if my wife forgives you, I will never let you go. You have almost killed both my wife and child."

Ye Jiu's gaze flickered for a moment before turning into a hardened gaze. Whatever came to him, he was ready. At the very least, he could meet with her again.

On the side, Yan and Ming Hui quietly watched what happened to Ye Jiu. The man didn't utter any sound, but Yan almost vomited because of what he saw. At this moment, he knew that making Soujin angry was clearly the foolish thing to do in this world.
