Yue Qi Awakens
"Yue Qi, don’t get the wrong idea about me. Since you can’t ride a horse, for now you’ll have to sit behind me," Ho Chen said.Yue Qi stared at Ho Chen intently. She was hesitant to accept this arrangement. She had never been this close to any man before, and now Ho Chen was the first one. But what choice did she have? Walking the entire journey wasn’t an option."You don’t need to worry. I’m not the pervert you always accuse me of being. I’ll teach you how to ride. Once you’ve learned, you can ride Fang Yun’s horse," Ho Chen added."Fine. But if you try anything funny, I’ll beat you up!"Ho Chen chuckled softly, then leaped onto the back of his black horse. "Do what I do!"Though Yue Qi was nearly equal in martial skill to Ho Chen, she wasn’t used to riding and nearly fell off the horse. She managed to stay on by instinctively wrapping her arms around Ho Chen’s waist.Ho Chen’s heartbeat quickened. He swallowed hard as
Continuing the Journey
Ho Chen chose to rest after the Medicine God also excused himself to sleep.The next morning, Yue Qi, who had fallen asleep earlier, woke up before Ho Chen. Before sitting up, the beautiful girl glanced over and saw Ho Chen curled up not far from her. From the way he was sleeping, she guessed he had been cold from the damp air of the cave.Seeing him like that made her feel oddly pleased. Even though she should have been trying to rid herself of the hatred she felt toward Ho Chen, whom she still thought of as a shameless man.Yue Qi sat up. It was only then that she noticed a cloth had slipped down from her shoulders. Shocked, she looked at the cloth and realized she had been covered with it throughout the night.“Why am I using a blanket? Last night...” she whispered in confusion. Her eyes turned toward Ho Chen, who was still sleeping. “Did he cover me?”A pang of guilt tugged at her chest. Ho Chen had given up his own warmth j
Guidance from the Medicine God
The Medicine God let out a long sigh. It turned out that his suspicion about the punishment Queen Qiang Hui would face was completely accurate. "I will answer your question, Ho Chen. But I hope you won’t blame yourself—this was all written by fate." Ho Chen furrowed his brow, curiosity growing stronger in his chest. But he didn’t interrupt and allowed the Medicine God to finish his words. "The real reason Her Majesty was punished," he continued, "is because she directly intervened in your affairs. Just like me, she is forbidden from interfering, no matter how severe the problem you face may be. But... I believe she acted because she had other intentions, though I do not know exactly what they were." Ho Chen held his breath for a moment. He now understood why Queen Qiang Hui hadn’t told him—she didn’t want him to feel guilty. But it also became clear to him that his adoptive mother had used the moment to draw him
Return to the Heavenly Palace
Queen Qiang Hui smiled warmly at Ho Chen. But before she spoke of her request, the beautiful woman stood up and walked out of the chamber where the two had been talking.Ho Chen frowned in confusion. But there was nothing he could do except wait for his adoptive mother to return. He suspected this had something to do with arranging a marriage between him and Yue Qi.Not long after, Queen Qiang Hui reentered the room—this time bringing Yue Qi along. The usual stern look that Yue Qi often wore when facing Ho Chen was nowhere to be seen, which made the young man feel somewhat puzzled."Ho Chen, regarding my request—this has nothing to do with matchmaking. I will no longer force the two of you into an arranged union," said Queen Qiang Hui.Ho Chen and Yue Qi exchanged glances and smiled. Both looked relieved by the decision the Queen had made."So then, what is it that you’re asking of me, Mother?" Ho Chen asked."I’ve alre
Queen Qiang Hui's Request
Queen Qiang Hui turned her gaze once more to King Qiang Zu. With a soft voice—so that Ho Chen wouldn’t hear her—she spoke again, “If my son wanted you dead, I would have done it. And not just that, I would have flattened your kingdom once more, just as I did in the past. You better hope he doesn’t hold a grudge against you!”King Qiang Zu swallowed hard. He knew full well that Queen Qiang Hui’s words were no idle threats. Now all he could do was hope the young man would forgive him.Clutching his aching chest, Ho Chen stood beside his adoptive mother and looked at King Qiang Zu, who remained kneeling before them. His brow furrowed deeply in confusion at the strange sight.“You know him, Mother?” Ho Chen asked innocently.Before Queen Qiang Hui could answer, King Qiang Zu interrupted, “Forgive me for all I’ve done, Ho Chen. I should have known who you truly were.”“Ho Chen… Ho Chen…! He is my adopted son and also the son of the Sun Go
The Great Consequence
Ho Chen then closed his eyes. In just a fleeting moment, he saw his mother’s smiling face. From the movement of her lips, Ho Chen could read that the woman who had given birth to him was offering him encouragement.Aside from his mother, Ho Chen also saw a handsome man wearing a crown on his head. A strong aura of authority radiated from the man’s face. Like his mother, the crowned man also smiled, as if to say he should always remain strong. Curiosity stirred in him—who was that regal, handsome man?Blaaaar!A deafening explosion shattered the serene and beautiful vision Ho Chen had just experienced. Strangely, however, he didn’t feel the expected surge of pain. Ho Chen assumed he had died. Perhaps the visions of his mother and the crowned man were signs that they were ready to welcome him.“Am I dead already?”Still with his eyes closed, Ho Chen tried to convince himself by touching his own body. But what he felt contradicted
