Chapter 59 - For Her Sake

Wen Sihan was not too bothered about Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun's relationship.

Bai Rouyun was still quite weak and posed no threat to Li Moyun. Even if she said some things she should not say, the one who would suffer the most would be herself, so he was sure that she had a sense of propriety.

Bai Rouyun was relaxing in Li Moyun's arms, leaning against his chest, and feeling quite pleased with herself. Wen Sihan had sworn a Heavenly Oath, so while it was not Bai Rouyun's place to actually decide that he had to swear such an oath, she felt more secure now that he had.

Not for her sake, but for Li Moyun's. If someone found out that he had this book, then he would be chased by the entire world of cultivators, and she could not afford this.

Li Moyun was the man who was slowly etching his way into her heart, but more importantly, he was her safe haven. If something happened to the Eternal Shadow Palace, she would be left without a calm environment to grow up in. But the main reason was that this book was provided by her. If something happened, she would be full of guilt.

"Well then, My Lord, My Lady, I need to go and examine these formulas and recipes," Wen Sihan finally said after a bit of silence. He did not regret taking the oath, as he was quite happy with what he had gotten from it. These formulas and recipes could keep him busy for many years in the future.

He did not need to think twice to know that these pills would change the future for the Eternal Shadow Palace. Together with these pills, their advance would be much faster than any other force.

Li Moyun was also aware of this. He felt that although he was keeping Bai Rouyun's secret for her, this did not warrant such an amazing amount of recipes and formulas, but he also knew about the Primal Chaos Pagoda, and he felt that it was maybe not such a big treasure to her as it was to everyone else.

Even so, when he saw her take out this book for his sake, he decided to coerce his friend into taking a Heavenly Oath, he knew that she was truly worried about him.

He could not help but feel sweet at heart, but he also swore that he would be by her side through her hard times and support her during her troubles. He was never going to let Bai Rouyun leave him; he was going to make it his life's purpose to protect her and accompany her to what she wanted to do.

Originally the Eternal Shadow Palace was built by Li Moyun because he had saved a few orphan children and taken them home to raise them. Slowly it had expanded to what it was now, but they had no purpose in life.

Now, Li Moyun finally found a purpose other than pursuing the highest peak of cultivation.

He was also happy that he had created the Eternal Shadow Palace, as they were going to use it to get revenge for Bai Rouyun.

Before Li Moyun had been feeling slightly uncomfortable thinking about how Bai Rouyun was giving him so many treasures, but now, after thinking that the Eternal Shadow Palace was hers, he was no longer so troubled.

All he did before was kill and cultivate, now that he had a purpose in his life, he was much happier. It was as if a ray of sunshine shone onto his clouded life, and this ray of sunshine was Bai Rouyun. She brought color to his dark world.

Wen Sihan had left when he saw that Li Moyun and Bai Rouyun were busy gazing into each other's eyes, each deep in thought. He could not help but smile and feel quite happy for his friend.

He had grown up together with Li Moyun. Seeing him become a killing machine that, although not hostile towards his subordinates and friends, was never warm.

But now he had found the ray of sunshine in his heart, the person who brought happiness to his life, and Wen Sihan was happy for him.

After the study descended into silence, Li Moyun and Bai Rouyun continued to look at one another. Li Moyun thought about how to tell her that the Eternal Shadow Palace could be a force she could use, and Bai Rouyun was simply lost in the splendor of Li Moyun's eyes.

Even the starry sky lost out to the sparkle and fascination of Li Moyun's eyes, and Bai Rouyun found herself completely enthralled.

Seeing her disorientated expression, Li Moyun could not help but chuckle. He lifted his hand and caressed Bai Rouyun's cheek. The smooth skin underneath his hand was addictive, and he had to use all his restraint to not dive in for a kiss.

However, he still understood that while they were married, their wedding was nothing but a sham. He had to be patient and never do anything that Bai Rouyun would dislike.

Sighing to himself, he shook his head, and Bai Rouyun slowly awoke from her stupor.

A flash of crimson appeared on her cheeks, and she looked away from his face, too ashamed to look him in the eyes. To think that this evildoer's appearance had enthralled her!

Without wasting more time, she jumped from his lap, looked at Li Moyun, stuck out her tongue, and ran away.

Seeing her childish behavior, Li Moyun could not help but chuckle lowly, but his mood had lifted tremendously. Spending time with Bai Rouyun was always such a joy.
