Chapter 1215 "Casting the Bait (6)"

Meanwhile not far away in a mountainous forest, Chu Yi Feng was partially leaning down against a tree due to his body being so weak and pale.

“Thank you…” Half a moment later, these words of grat.i.tude were what broke the silence in the forest.

Despite this, the man standing there and looking down didn't respond right away, only continuing to make his expressionless face.

Seeing the man won't talk, Chu Yi Feng dons a faint smile and continued to speak on his own accord: "Me being injured, I hope you can keep it a secret from Yan'er…."

That finally drew a reaction from Di Cang who came to his aid after diverting partway to meet his wife. "Don't worry, I'm not so stupid to do that. You are injured because of her. If she finds out then she will certainly come to your side to care for you. I am a man, naturally I won't want my woman to tend to others."

Chu Yi Feng’s body went stiff over that hurtful statement, making him look all the more frail under the slight breeze.

“But you… helped me in the end."

“I saved you for Yan'er's sake so don't mistake me. If anything happens to you then she will undoubtedly be saddened knowing her character. I do not want to see a drop of tear from her."

He only wants her to smile all her life, never to shed a drop of tear. That means even if the other person was Chu Yi Feng, his one-time love rival, Di Cang would still help him and not turn a blind eye.

“Besides, you saved Yan'er many times, as her husband, it's only right I repay her debt so no need to thank me."

The faint smile finally disappeared from Chu Yi Feng's face following that, replaced only by a bittersweet flavor because those words were like knives, piercing into his heart at every turn.

“I am not worried with Yan'er marrying you and I hope in the future you can always treat her like you are doing now." Suppressing the sadness in his heart, the young handsome man then got sharp when confronting the demon king's gaze: "But if I know you are to ever make her sad, I will use all my means to steal her back from you!"

Because of her happiness, he was willing to let go. Now and into the future, for her happiness as well, he's willing to steal her back if she's ever saddened….

“I can give you that promise. In this life I will love her with me all, never to allow a trace of sadness to plague her!" Di Cang's voice was firm and strong, leaving no room for doubt in his vow.

Perhaps he was pleased to hear that oath, or he's finally regained enough strength, but Chu Yi Feng gradually and sloppily got up from the ground. Due to how unstable he was, the young man had to lean against the trunk still in order to keep his posture: "Also, you have to be careful of a certain person…."

“Who?” Di Cang asks with alarm in his voice.

“Yan'er should've met him already, he's a man that looks very much like me. You have to be careful with him and not let Yan'er get hurt."

That brought the demon king's voice down to a frosty chill: "Do you know something that I don't?"

“I only came across the information not long ago but can't confirm it yet." Chu Yi Feng smile's wryly as he looked the man dead in the eye: "Di Cang, I gave Yan'er to you so you must protect her at all cost. There are some things I can't tell you now, but you and her will naturally find out on your own."

Gradually leaving the tree behind himself, the young lord of the Holy Land didn't give another glance backwards, only slowly trudging forwards into the inner depths of the mountain.

…………..

"Sire," an old figure eventually descends from the sky after Di Cang was left alone again, his voice respectful and compliant.
