Chapter 282: This Farewell Is A Reunion
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Guanfeng was flustered and his voice was trembling. One could imagine how terrified he was. His heart seemed to have stopped beating until he heard a small voice calling out to him. “Brother Li.”
Only then did Li Guanfeng slowly come back to his senses. He lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms in disbelief. The shadow that he had been looking at for ten years had turned into a corporeal body at this moment.
Li Guanfeng choked and hugged Xiaowu tightly. He was muttering madly. “Xiaowu, Xiaowu.”
Tears welled up in his eyes as he greedily breathed in the scent of the girl in his arms. Though he couldn’t smell anything, to him, it was the best scent in this world.
Xiaowu was also overjoyed. She reached out and touched Li Guanfeng’s face, the stubble on his chin, and pulled his hair. “I can touch Brother Li! I can touch Brother Li!”
Li Guanfeng was wild with joy as he stroked her face continuously.
He did not know why this happened, but he knew that it must be Liu Sanniang’s doing.
Li Guanfeng looked around and said, “Miss Liu, is that you?”
Liu Sanniang walked in. “It’s me.”
She came three days later as she had promised. No one stopped her from coming in because the constables had received Li Guanfeng’s instructions. She went straight to the backyard and had been waiting by the side, listening to Li Guanfeng.
Li Guanfeng had a crazy desire to keep Xiaowu, but he resisted the desire and let her go. He couldn’t possibly let his beloved girl be stained with blood.
Therefore, no matter how painful and reluctant he was, he decided to release her after Liu Sanniang told him that after reincarnation, Xiaowu would have a happy life and marriage.
Li Guanfeng looked at Liu Sanniang and asked with a puzzled look. “Miss Liu, what do you mean by doing this?”
The real Xiaowu in his arms made Li Guanfeng want to keep her more. Liu Sanniang had a way to make it happen. Not only did she have a way to make Xiaowu stay, but she could also make Xiaowu’s body corporeal. Perhaps she could even make Xiaowu grow up. As long as he threatened Liu Sanniang with her brother’s life, all of this could happen.
Liu Sanniang seemed to see through Li Guanfeng’s thoughts and said with a smile, “Magistrate Li, are you going to change your mind?”
Xiaowu tugged at Li Guanfeng’s shirt. “Brother Li, I’m already very happy. This is the happiest moment I’ve felt in the past ten years. Brother Li, I like you when you are good and kind. Don’t do anything rash, okay?”
Li Guanfeng looked down at Xiaowu with a gentle expression. “Okay.”
He almost used up all his strength on that one word.
Xiaowu was born with extreme sensitivity for emotions. What she liked the most was when Li Guanfeng gave her undiluted love. By the same token, she would also give him her complete love.
If not for that monk, Li Guanfeng and Xiaowu would have been a happy couple. Even if Li Guanfeng wouldn’t become smart later on, at least, his life would have been happy.
Li Guanfeng hated that monk as well as psychics.
He hugged Xiaowu tightly in his arms. He didn’t want to miss a second of this precious moment. He’d just gotten his hands on Xiaowu and now, he was about to lose her again.
Li Guanfeng’s voice was choked. “Xiaowu, Xiaowu…”
‘How can I live without you?’
Xiaowu was also extremely sad. “Brother Li, you have to take care of yourself. I will be angry if you ruin your body. You have to eat and sleep properly, okay?”
When the woman who could heal the scars in your heart appeared, you would live a long life and have children and grandchildren with her.
Liu Sanniang looked at Li Guanfeng whose face had become easier to read. The sign of his marriage was gradually becoming clearer. However, there was also a sign that his health would start to deteriorate after this.
Other than that, nothing would change.
Xiaowu’s departure would leave a deep scar in his heart, but it would heal eventually. He would be married and live a happy life.
Liu Sanniang just couldn’t understand why Li Guanfeng, who was so obsessed with Xiaowu, would fall in love with another woman.
She felt like she was very close to the answer, but she just could not figure out what it was, no matter how hard she racked her brain.
Xiaowu walked to Liu Sanniang’s side and bowed. She smiled. “Miss Liu, thank you.”
After thanking her, Xiaowu returned to Li Guanfeng’s side. He held her hand and looked at Liu Sanniang. He opened his mouth several times before finally managing to speak. “I’m ready.”
Liu Sanniang closed her eyes and began to chant the scriptures. These scriptures contained thousands and thousands of words. Even though she was not familiar with many of them, she was still able to chant them naturally like they were etched in her mind.
Liu Sanniang opened her eyes to see that Xiaowu’s figure had started to disperse bit by bit. At this moment, she saw a red line flashing through Li Guanfeng and lit up his face.
As a golden light flew into her body, Liu Sanniang finally figured out the answer.
It turned out that this farewell was a reunion.
Li Guanfeng felt lost. After Xiaowu was gone, the bell on his wrist shattered into pieces, like his heart.
His face was devoid of any expressions as he said coldly, “Leave me alone.”
Liu Sanniang did not leave. She looked at Li Guanfeng and said, “Magistrate Li, your separation with Xiaowu is only temporary. You will meet again one day.”
Li Guanfeng looked up at Liu Sanniang fiercely. “Are you saying that for the sake of making me happy so that I will not punish your brother?”
He had already lost his beloved girl. How could they possibly meet again?
Liu Sanniang smiled. “You and Xiaowu were originally fated to be a couple, but someone forcefully cut off your marriage with her. But now, your marriage line has been connected again. I was not joking when I said that you will live a long life and have children and grandchildren.”
Li Guanfeng snorted coldly. “Enough. Leave. Don’t say such things again.”
Without waiting for Liu Sanniang to speak, Li Guanfeng went away.
Liu Sanniang was a little helpless. Why wouldn’t he listen to her?
When Liu Sanniang left the government office, she, as expected, saw Chu Yan. She was no longer surprised to see him anymore. He held her hand and they went home together.
Liu Sanniang said, “Chu Yan, Magistrate Li and Xiaowu’s marriage is reconnected. He will meet Xiaowu one day who has reincarnated. He won’t fall in love with someone else. From the beginning to the end, it has always been Xiaowu.”
Li Guanfeng was left with a deep scar in his heart after Xiaowu left. However, that scar would be healed by a woman, because the woman who came to heal him was none other than Xiaowu.
