Chapter 183 Lin Yi Arrives
"Lord Jiang Yu, do you really understand this monster beside you?" Keslan's clear yellow eyes were fixed on Jiang Yu. When he saw her lips begin to tremble uncontrollably, he sighed and said, "You agreed to become its mate. What about the husband who gave his life for you?"
Jiang Yu's heart was in turmoil. What sacrifice? Besides Lanny, who else would sacrifice for her? Her husband? Which husband? To give his life?
"What did you say? What... what is it?" Jiang Yu began to tremble all over. Shouldn't her husband, Lin Yi and Fan Qingyin, be waiting for her at home? What sacrifice? What kind of sacrifice is it?
Immediately, the painful experience of drowning when she was kidnapped by Molymbia flashed through her mind. Yes, she was clearly suffocating at that time. Was she on the verge of death then? Did one of them save her life?
She dared not think further, feeling as if she were in a cold a thousand times colder than seawater. How could this be? She had finally managed to come up from the seabed, and she hadn't even seen them yet...
Only then did Moya feel incredibly panicked and guilty. He swore he never imagined that hiding these things would cause such serious consequences. But these things were clearly not his intentions. His only attraction was Jiang Yu, and all he wanted was to be with her. How could this man push all the blame onto him? Who was the despicable and shameless one?
Moya tentatively tried to hug Jiang Yu to offer her some comfort and support, but she pushed him away.
Jiang Yu bit her tongue hard, tasting the blood, forcing herself to snap out of her daze and anxiety. She had no time to worry about Moya, whether it was to protect him or hold him accountable.
Her heart was now filled with thoughts of Fan Qingyin and Lin Yi. The faces of her two husbands kept switching back and forth in her mind. No matter who it was, she couldn't bear the consequences.
Jiang Yu slowly walked towards Keslan and asked, word by word, "Tell me everything, explain the cause and effect clearly. I want to know everything, please, Keslan."
Seeing that all her attention was finally on him, Keslan smiled with satisfaction.
“Of course, no problem.” He glanced at Moya, who stood there looking lost and dejected, and felt extremely smug.
This foolish monster, trying to fight itself? Dream on.
——?——?——
Lin Yi met Jiang Yu at a rest stop on the way to the Aurora Empire.
If Jiang Yu hadn't been so weak that Keslan dared not let Arthur go at full speed, Lin Yi probably wouldn't have been able to see his wife until he reached the Fan family.
As soon as Jiang Yu surfaced, the Dragon Eagle Knights dispatched by Lin Yi immediately returned to report the news. Lin Yi put aside all his affairs and set off immediately, wanting to see Jiang Yu as soon as possible.
I rushed and finally met my wife on the way.
Jiang Yu was still wearing Keslan's black cloak, which was lined with what looked like bird feathers, very fluffy and soft, providing excellent warmth and waterproofing. Although Jiang Yu was soaking wet, the cloak not only remained dry but also quickly dried her body.
Keslan then took her to the nearest town to buy her a simple and comfortable long dress, gave her some hot cocoa milk and dinner, before wrapping her up tightly and placing her on Arthur's back before leaving.
As for Moa, seeing Jiang Yu's heartbroken state after being deliberately ignored by Keslan, he knew he shouldn't add any more pressure to Jiang Yu. So, very sensibly, he transformed back into his sea monster form and went back into the sea, intending to quietly follow Jiang Yu.
Although he felt a pang of sadness, Jiang Yu had already acknowledged his identity, and she would never go back on her word. He would never leave her, not even in death.
Jiang Yu learned from Keslan everything Fan Qingyin had done and her current situation. She felt a sharp, intense pain in her heart, as if a dagger had been plunged into her chest and was being violently twisted inside. The intense pain made it almost impossible for her to stand up. She clutched her chest, squatted on the ground, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
She wept silently, frantically calling out Qingyin's name in her heart, longing for his voice and smile, every little moment they spent together flashing before her eyes.
She had almost forgotten him, so how could she accept losing him when she finally remembered him?
She wanted to see Qingyin; she wanted to see him as soon as possible.
This strong thought sustained her as she mechanically ate all the food that Keslan handed her, even though everything tasted like cardboard. The stomach pain caused by not eating hot food for a long time seemed insignificant compared to the pain in her heart.
She needs to eat well to have the strength and not get sick. She still needs to see Qingyin, and she must not collapse before seeing Qingyin.
So when Lin Yi pushed open the door to the lounge room, he saw Jiang Yu sitting blankly in a chair. She turned around somewhat absentmindedly when she heard the door being pushed open, and when she met Lin Yi's distressed and anxious gaze, she didn't react at first.
Suddenly, Lin Yi remembered the portrait of Jiang Yu, sitting alone by the window, that he had seen in her profile before choosing a partner. A wave of immense sorrow and heartache washed over him. But the next moment, he saw large tears falling from Jiang Yu's eyes.
Jiang Yu finally relaxed completely the moment she saw Lin Yi. The ecstasy of finally seeing her husband, the grievances of her constant anxiety and helplessness, and the grief of hearing the devastating news that Fan Qingyin's fate was unknown, all found an outlet when she saw Lin Yi, and poured out all of it at once.
"Xiao Yu..." Seeing his wife so distraught and heartbroken, Lin Yi felt a pang of heartache, and his eyes reddened. He opened his arms and walked quickly toward Jiang Yu, who jumped down and rushed into his arms.
"Yi!" They hugged each other tightly, and Jiang Yu couldn't help but cry out. Soon, her tears soaked Lin Yi's clothes.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault for being so useless." Lin Yi's tears also fell. "I'm sorry for leaving you alone at the bottom of the sea for so long, I couldn't do anything about it..." He almost melted Jiang Yu into his body, and said incoherently.
"No, it's not your fault, Yi, I've finally seen you." Jiang Yu hugged Lin Yi tightly around the waist, letting herself cry like a little girl for a long time before finally stopping. Then, she looked up in her lover's arms and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Her eyes, still brimming with tears, curved into crescent moons as she smiled in Lin Yi's arms: "Yi, look, I'm perfectly fine."
“During my time at sea, I know that you were the one who suffered the most.” Jiang Yu raised her hand and moved it from Lin Yi’s waist to his neck, hugging him tightly.
"Yi, I miss you so much."
Hearing Jiang Yu's undisguised feelings, Lin Yi finally couldn't hold back his overwhelming longing and love, and kissed her deeply.
When Jiang Yu disappeared, Lin Yi felt his heart had gone with her. Now that she was back in his arms, his heart finally returned and settled down.
As the kiss ended, Jiang Yu couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and she cried out, "Yi, Qingyin, Qingyin he..."
Lin Yi understood almost immediately that Jiang Yu knew about Fan Qingyin's situation. He could only hug her back and comfort her, saying, "It's okay, Xiao Yu, don't worry, we'll definitely find a way, we'll definitely find a way..."
