Free Web NovelChapter 270: Chapter 270: In His Vision, She Was Gone
Xing Luoye walked into the room carrying the three cubs carefully in his arms. The two griffin cubs were awake and moving around, while little Xiao Bai stayed quietly perched on his shoulder.
The moment he stepped inside, his eyes widened.
Feng Yanshen was standing there with Yue Yue.
The atmosphere in the room felt strange...heavy, warm, and somehow different. It was as if the oxygen has disappeared from the air.
"High Priest..." Xing Luoye said, his voice a little surprised.
Feng Yanshen lifted his eyes and met his gaze.
Xing Luoye almost stepped back. The look in the High Priest’s eyes was strange. There was pity in them and strange tenderness. Something he had never seen before from this cold man.
Xing Luoye felt confused. He had always remembered the High Priest as ruthless and distant. The man looked down on everyone, especially on him and the others. He tolerated them only because of Yue Yue. He never hid his dislike.
But now the emotions in Feng Yanshen’s eyes had completely changed. What had happened? Had the man lost his mind after staying away for a month from Yue Yue?
Xing Luoye shuddered slightly. But suddenly Feng Yanshen looked at him with chilling eyes.
Xing Luoye coughed awkwardly and looked away.
Feng Yanshen patted Yue Yue’s head gently. She left his embrace with a slightly embarrassed smile and turned toward Xing Luoye and the cubs.
Feng Yanshen also walked forward. He took the three cubs into his arms with careful hands. He looked at them with a kind and loving gaze.
How could he not love them? Even though they were not his own blood, they were Yue Yue’s children. That made them his to protect more than his own life.
He thought silently as he held them. He had also seen them in his vision. The cubs were crying for their mother, but she was nowhere to be found.
His finger tenderly brushed over the two griffin cubs. Then his hand paused on little Xiao Bai.
Now the snake cub was only palm-sized. But in his vision, Xiao Bai had grown so big...almost fighting fiercely with polluted beasts by himself.
Looking at the small Xiao Bai now, Feng Yanshen felt a strange tightness in his chest.
Was the vision set far in the future? Or was it coming soon?
According to Xiao Bai’s current size, he had grown so much in the vision. That meant it was a future scene.
But why did he have this very strange feeling inside him?
Like his heart refused to calm down.
Like someone was telling him the vision was going to happen soon.
If it really happened soon, would they be separated for so long that Xiao Bai would grow big enough to fight polluted beasts alone?
His heart clenched even more.
But looking at Yue Yue beside him, who was also looking at the cubs with a small smile, he forced down every heavy thought and tried to smile gently.
He really did not want to worry her. He had already told her too much, even though he had not wanted to. He did not want her to carry this burden.
Suddenly Xing Luoye stared him hard, like he was trying to see past his soul.
Feng Yanshen’s expression stiffened. A fake scowl appeared on his face as he said, "Why don’t you go and bring me some food? I have been hungry for almost a month. I have not eaten anything proper."
Xing Luoye scowled back. "You want to eat? Go and cook yourself. Why bother me? I will play here with Yue Yue."
Feng Yanshen’s expression stiffened even more. He glared at him and whispered, "I don’t know how to cook."
Xing Luoye’s expression immediately turned smug. "Oh, so the High Priest really does not know how to do something. I thought the High Priest was good at everything."
He waved his hand like he was waving at some insignificant person and said, "Let this young prince give you some good food then."
Xing Luoye turned and left to fetch the food he had prepared earlier.
Feng Yanshen tried to act as normal as possible. But inside, he was filled with turmoil. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
He had seen visions of Xing Luoye too. But strangely, he had not seen any vision of Xing Luoguang. Why? If he had seen visions of all the other husbands of Yue Yue, why not him?
That was what bugged him the most.
Suddenly he zoned out.
The little griffin cub immediately cried and tried to climb onto his shoulder. They had grown quite big. Holding all three together was quite handful now. They always tried to move around.
Only Xiao Bai stayed silently perched on the shoulder. He would wrap himself around something, while the two griffin cubs were naughty, trying to climb or peck until their heads were bald.
Now the little griffin cub’s eyes lit up as they looked at the beautiful long jewelry around Feng Yanshen’s neck. The cub immediately pecked at it, thinking it was something good to swallow.
Yue Yue immediately chided her baby gently, "Don’t, don’t eat it. It is not something to eat."
Feng Yanshen only laughed softly. Suddenly a very dazzling bracelet appeared in his hand. It slid gently onto the little griffin cub’s neck. The pink gemstone on it shone brightly.
The little griffin cub chirped with happiness. She was dazzled by the brightness of the beautiful gem.
Feng Yanshen continued looking down at the cubs with a gentle expression. But inside his mind, the heavy thoughts kept swirling.
He had seen too much in that vision.
Everyone separated.
Everyone searching.
Yue Yue was gone.
The cubs were crying. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
And the worst part, he could not find her. His heart refused to calm down.
He forced a small smile again and looked at Yue Yue.
She was watching the cubs with soft eyes, completely unaware of the storm inside him.
Feng Yanshen felt a sharp pain in his chest.
How could he tell her everything?
How could he tell her that in his vision they would all be torn apart?
How could he tell her that even he, the powerful High Priest, would be left desperate and broken, searching endlessly for her?
He could not. So he stayed silent. He held the cubs a little tighter and tried to enjoy this peaceful moment.
But deep down, the fear and confusion kept growing.
And the strange absence of Xing Luoguang in that vision made everything even more unsettling.
