Chapter 2173: Chapter 2174: Dongfang Shu Fei’s Gratitude

Back when Kitamura Chiyuki was released from the dungeon by Yan Haohan, the king still knew about it. After all, the king is the head protector of the nation, and since Kitamura Chiyuki killed someone among the protectors, it’s impossible for him not to know.

Moreover, since Kitamura Chiyuki held great admiration for the Evil Monarch, it was not surprising that the king directly guessed it was Kitamura Chiyuki.

Ye Xunhuan nodded: "That’s right, it’s him!"

"This little rascal can be considered someone with emotions and principles." freёwebnoѵel.com

Although Kitamura Chiyuki wasn’t from Huaxia, the king had to admit that Kitamura Chiyuki indeed was a person with emotions and principles, because even after being imprisoned in the dungeon for years, he still thought about paying respects to the Evil Monarch.

If it were someone else, this might not have been possible.

"King, since you know about Kitamura Chiyuki, would you be willing to tell me where the grave of the Evil Monarch is located?" Ye Xunhuan asked again.

The king scanned Ye Xunhuan from head to toe and then slowly said, "The Evil Monarch died at the summit of Mount Tai, but he liked Changbai Mountain during his lifetime. I buried him beneath Changbai Mountain, and you should be able to find it when you go there."

After speaking, the king didn’t say anything more and directly turned around to leave, and this time, Ye Xunhuan didn’t stop him at all, letting the king go.

After the king left, Ye Xunhuan exhaled a deep breath. He finally knew where the Evil Monarch was buried, and although he didn’t know if the king was telling the truth, Ye Xunhuan would certainly go to Changbai Mountain!

Because the Evil Monarch was his father, he had to go.

Even if the king was deceiving him, he needed to make the journey.

After the king left, Dongfang Shu and Ye Xunhuan didn’t take long to depart from there.

However, Ye Xunhuan and Dongfang Shu didn’t leave the City of Hibiscus but stayed there, waiting to take Dongfang Shu’s mother’s ashes the next day.

Ye Xunhuan knew that Dongfang Shu was feeling very down, or in other words, not well, so he said a lot to comfort Dongfang Shu.

Fortunately, Dongfang Shu wasn’t the type of woman to cry over fallen flowers, and after some consolation, her mood improved considerably.

At least on the surface, she seemed much better.

Yet Ye Xunhuan also knew that Dongfang Shu might only seem fine on the surface; inside, she was still burdened, so he bought some alcohol and drank with Dongfang Shu, intending not to leave until they were thoroughly drunk.

Sure enough, Dongfang Shu did get drunk, and after drinking, she sometimes cried, sometimes laughed, her actions utterly frenzied.

Someone unaware might have thought Dongfang Shu had escaped from a mental hospital!

Dongfang Shu was utterly intoxicated, drunk beyond consciousness.

Fortunately, Ye Xunhuan and Dongfang Shu were drinking in a hotel. Seeing Dongfang Shu drunk, Ye Xunhuan placed her on the bed.

After putting Dongfang Shu on the bed and covering her with a blanket, Ye Xunhuan slowly exhaled a deep breath and then sat beside her, lighting a cigarette and quietly watching Dongfang Shu.

Time flew by like a fleeting shadow, passing swiftly, and before he knew it, it was already the next morning.

Yet Ye Xunhuan still sat beside her, quietly watching Dongfang Shu, as if he hadn’t moved all night.

After a while, Dongfang Shu’s eyelashes slightly trembled.

Ye Xunhuan noticed this subtle change in Dongfang Shu, clearly understanding that she was about to wake up.

The next moment, Dongfang Shu opened her eyes, but her head felt as if exploding, causing severe pain, making her involuntarily close her eyes again to adjust.

A hangover is undoubtedly something very uncomfortable; anyone who has experienced it knows the feeling, like having someone pounding on your head with a club.

Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan immediately said, "Rest a bit, don’t rush to move. It’s really uncomfortable waking up after being drunk!"

After adjusting for a while, Dongfang Shu opened her eyes again and slowly sat up from the bed.

"Did you sit here all night?" Dongfang Shu softly asked, looking at Ye Xunhuan.

Just now, when she opened her eyes, the words Ye Xunhuan said completely fell into her ears, making her instinctively believe Ye Xunhuan stayed with her all night.

And indeed, that was the case.

Ye Xunhuan had indeed stayed with her all night.

Ye Xunhuan nodded: "Yeah, I was worried you’d feel uncomfortable and thirsty, so I stayed."

Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Dongfang Shu immediately felt an unprecedented sense of gratitude in her heart.

At this moment, she felt the long-lost touch of being cared for.

Before, without Ye Xunhuan, the only person who cared for her was Meng Qi.

But Meng Qi had dug his own grave, playing himself to death. After Meng Qi, Dongfang Shu never felt anyone’s care again.

Now, Ye Xunhuan was essentially the first.

"Thank you!"

"It’s nothing!" Ye Xunhuan said softly, "Rest a while, then freshen up. I’ll check what we can eat!"

With that, Ye Xunhuan stood up and left.

And Dongfang Shu didn’t stop him at all, letting Ye Xunhuan leave freely.

After Ye Xunhuan left, in no time, Dongfang Shu got up from the bed and started getting ready.

As Dongfang Shu just finished freshening up, Ye Xunhuan came in with breakfast from outside.

Perhaps because of all the alcohol Dongfang Shu drank last night, Ye Xunhuan bought some porridge, something gentle on the stomach.

This subtle act from Ye Xunhuan moved Dongfang Shu immensely.

Sometimes, women seem complicated, but often they’re quite simple.

Like now, in Ye Xunhuan’s eyes, buying porridge was a trivial matter, but to Dongfang Shu, it was enough to deeply move her and see it as the most romantic gesture.

After having breakfast, Ye Xunhuan and Dongfang Shu left the hotel and found some people to relocate Dongfang Shu’s mother from Qingcheng Mountain.

After relocating Dongfang Shu’s mother from the grave, Ye Xunhuan and Dongfang Shu left the City of Hibiscus.

However, before leaving, Dongfang Shu visited the Dongfang family once more, as she said she wanted her mother’s name on the Dongfang family genealogy.

After all these were done, Dongfang Shu and Ye Xunhuan left.

But just as Dongfang Shu left, another piece of bad news came from the Dongfang family: Dongfang Jinbao had committed suicide.

But no one cared much about Dongfang Jinbao.

Nowadays, with Wu Lanqin’s fate unknown and Dongfang Mingkun killed by Ye Xunhuan, who would care about Dongfang Jinbao? Furthermore, to everyone in the Dongfang family, if not for their family of three, they wouldn’t have suffered.

Therefore, no one cared about Dongfang Jinbao’s death, and no one mourned.

Dongfang Shu was completely unaware of this, but even if she knew, she definitely wouldn’t care.
