The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Chapter 1068: Speechless (2)

The coldness in Ji Fengyan’s tone made Liu Huo’s heart stop for a moment. He instinctively wanted to tell her everything but before he opened his mouth, he forced himself to swallow the words.

Seeing Liu Huo not reacting, Ji Fengyan felt frustrated. She pulled off the crown on her head and threw it at the side.

The exquisite crown landed on the ground with the jewels on them broken, just like tonight that was meant to be beautiful, yet was spoiled.

“I am tired. You should go next door.” Ji Fengyan turned her head and tried hard to control her emotions.

Liu Huo’s eyes were lowered and he looked at that broken jewel that had rolled to his foot. It was as if his heart was weighed down by a 500 kilograms huge rock. He bent down silently and picked up the broken pieces of the crown carefully before leaving quietly from Ji Fengyan’s room.

When Ji Fengyan heard the door close after him, she completely flew into a fit of rage.

“Stupid fellow! You can dream on about consummating our marriage!” Ji Fengyan was really fuming. She did not hide anything from Liu Huo and had never pressed him about his identity.

But now…

They were married and had been lifetime partners. Even though Ji Fengyan admitted that she often bullied Liu Huo, most of the time she had been quite reliable.

However, Liu Huo obviously did not want to open his heart to her.

With such an outcome, Ji Fengyan was very frustrated. Why would such a gorgeous young boy that she had raised wholeheartedly be so stubborn?

On the other hand, Liu Huo returned to the room that Ji Fengyan had arranged for him alone—this room that he originally did not have to return to.

In the night, he did not light the candle. He only sat silently and lifelessly on the side of the bed while holding onto the broken crown. His slender and good-looking hands touched every part of the crown thoroughly in the dark, and each time his fingers touched the crown, memories would flash back into his mind. It was as if he had seen Ji Fengyan wearing this gorgeous crown and walking towards him again.

He shut his eyes painfully in the dark and held tightly to the broken jewels, allowing the sharp edges of the jewel to pierce his palm.

Fresh blood dripped from his hand, but he did not feel any pain. Only his heart felt like it was being torn into shreds.

“I have been asking for too much.”

That night, the Kingdom of Hua Xia was celebrating. That night, the both of them who were supposed to be the most blissful were bound to be unable to sleep.

After experiencing the “embarrassment” from the day before, Linghe was excited to check on the fruits that he had sacrificed himself for. But when he carried his food and stood in front of Ji Fengyan’s door full of anticipation after knocking for a long time, he saw Ji Fengyan open the door silently with a grim face.

That expression was definitely the most unpleasant one that Linghe had ever witnessed.

Instinctively, Linghe’s eyes widened.

Oh my!

Could it be that Liu Huo that brat was good-looking but good-for-nothing?

Just as Linghe’s mind was drifting away, Ji Fengyan instinctively looked at the room next door.

The room door was tightly shut and there was no sound at all.

“Bring him the food, I will go out and eat myself,” Ji Fengyan pursed her lips and finally said with much reluctance.

Then, before Linghe could respond, she walked out with large strides.

Linghe was really clueless about the situation. As he was confused about whom to bring the food to, the door to the room next door opened suddenly.
