The Spirit World

Chapter 275 Heartburning
[I hate fate, mountains and seas can deceive me. ]

What’s going on with this guy…why did he follow me?
The hot wind blew her sweat drop by drop onto her snow-white skin. She exuded a strange and rich fragrance from her whole body, floating among the crowd she walked through.

This guy! What on earth is going on? Why...

His eyes were still moving back and forth between her and the soldier. This woman gave him a very strange feeling, as if she was searching for something in him, and while he was not paying attention, she was going to hook his soul with her pitiful appearance.

Her overly pitiful look made him ignore the fact that she was a potential murderer at the first moment.

"You two!"

Soldiers saw them fleeing against the crowd, although they were not the only ones.

The crowd surged, the wind blew the moonlight, and the heat wave almost knocked people over.

"Hey! Ma'am! Wait!" Jack turned around and looked at the soldier who was watching. It was the soldier who shouted. He looked at Jack and raised his wand in confusion.

He looked at Colin again, but Colin was already jogging away from the crowd. It was obvious that the soldiers could not block all the intersections so quickly or they simply could not let everyone wait quietly for inspection.

"Everyone, be quiet! Stay where you are!" The commander roared loudly and fired a fireball into the sky. The fireball rose into the sky and instantly disappeared under the moonlight, which meant that this fireball could evaporate a person in an instant.

The fireball was very effective. Those who wanted to bypass the inspection became quiet very quickly, and the very few who did were intercepted by the soldiers and could not leave.

Colin grabbed her "clothes" and was once again forced to stop in the middle of the crowd, but this time the crowd was looser and much farther away from the inspecting soldiers. She stopped and looked up, and saw Jack who was still slowly moving towards her.

As she thought, she didn't know why she noticed Jack, maybe because he happened to be talking about "a certain viscount's 22nd concubine" who was herself.

Or perhaps it was that the curse that Jack shouted out loudly that struck her heart gently, causing her heart to surge and turn.

Or was she pitifully expecting something, as the crowd surrounding her, accompanied by the heat wave, crashed into her cold body.

Now, the tall man noticed her. She had nowhere to hide. She frantically dodged the gazes of the people around her, lowered the "brim" of her "hood", and exposed her shame among the indifferent crowd.

Her feet were red and hot, and the pain made her stagger. She swayed from side to side on the cobblestone pavement of the boulevard in Mont-Franklin. She had to grit her teeth and purse her lips, slowly changing her feet to support herself.

She was extremely anxious and couldn't help but grab her arms, as if to hug herself, and scratched them through her "clothes" until they turned red.

The voices of the soldiers checking and scolding became louder and louder, while the whispers in the crowd became quieter and quieter. Jack noticed the soldiers' stern looks at him, and turned his head every few steps to look at the "poor little thing" standing uncomfortably.

He might know why he chose to chase after it, but the ambiguity prevented him from delving into why he became interested in this "poor cat".

Perhaps it was because her pitiful eyes exuded a compassion that he could not refuse, perhaps it was because of the pleading in her eyes that showed she was in dire straits, or perhaps it was because of her elusive "mystery" that forced him to have this "suspicion" from the bottom of his heart.

"Hey you!"

Jack suddenly stood in front of Colin. Colin turned her head away, trying to pretend that she didn't know who Jack was calling.

But Jack was obviously facing Colin. He saw the "weird hood" - with a few straw buttons like those on a small sheet, and her snow-white skin that was almost exposed.

She smelled the extremely sweet scent of grass on him. As far as her eyes could see, the iris brooch was facing her eyes, and his strong chest seemed to support an entire space to protect her.

No! He caught me!
Colin looked downwards. His neatly-fitted clothes were a little wrinkled due to the squeezing. The neat school uniform made his broad figure stand out very handsomely.

But he was too aggressive and rushed to her, wanting to eat her.

She was so petite that she shivered unconsciously and clutched herself.

The moonlight made her profile look snow-white, and her lifelessness made her tear marks seem even darker, yet her beauty was as intoxicating as a gem that had been carved and polished.

She was sobbing as if she was crying, with tears dripping from the corners of her eyes.

Jack could only see her profile, and he was stunned by this beautiful moment, his mind going blank.

He began to believe that he chased after the cat because he felt that "this poor little cat" needed help, rather than because he was attracted by its beauty.

How lovely she was, she was like a pearl in his palm, he was afraid she would melt if he held her in his hand, which caused the violent collision of the excitement in his heart, making him feel so thrilling that he could hardly recover.

The heart-pounding feeling of this encounter is engraved into my bones and reaches the scars of time in my heart.

"Hey...sorry...I...that..."

Jack stammered and wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time. He could only let the heat wave of the crowd make him more dizzy.

But just when he didn't know how to start, Colin slowly raised her head. Her panicked look was gone, her eyelashes lightly brushed the moonlight in front of her eyes, and her golden hair flowed slowly down her cheeks to her shoulders.

He looked down, his star-like eyes shining, as if he had encountered the most beautiful light in life, flashing and reflecting her.

For a moment, she believed that this was destiny! And the only one!

Her eyes were bright and radiant, and the tears that had just gathered in the corners of her eyes were sparkling, full of pity and touching.

"sorry, I……"

Jack seemed to have forgotten what he was going to do, and then he almost said the stupidest thing in his life.

"Where have I seen you before?"

He smiled foolishly: "Haha, do you remember?"

She did not think that this sentence was inappropriate, and even seemed to really feel that he had seen her somewhere. If this was true, the handsome boy in front of her would not be so scary anymore, at least he was not here to catch her.

But if you think about it carefully, how is this possible?
He could not have seen her, nor could he recognize her. She had never left the manor since her father died when she was a child. It was a cage where one could see the sun, but such a shining star as him could not be seen all day long.

There was a dead atmosphere there, without any trace of tenderness from him.

"I'm sorry... I don't... don't know you."

Her face was rosy in the hot crowd, which made her look like an attractive apple, making people unable to help but get closer and go forward to enjoy the sweet breath she exhaled.

She dodged those burning eyes, as if they were burning her soul, making her hands and feet sweat and her feel dazed.

He noticed that she was not wearing shoes and that she was evading his gaze. He couldn't help but feel that the way he had just spoken was stupid. If it were someone else, he would have been punched.

The girl, who looked somewhat downcast, was still in shock. She felt that what she had done was really wrong, which made her feel embarrassed. She pulled her hand away and scratched her head unconsciously.

"Ah...it's okay...I...I misread it, I misread it...I'm sorry."

He laughed awkwardly and his whole body shook.

"that……"

But he wanted to say something, but he swallowed his saliva as if it was difficult to swallow, and his lips were dry and he couldn't speak.

This is terrible. I hope I will be considered a pervert who is attracted by women. What should I do...

He began to sweat all over, but he had no choice but to turn around and leave, so he could only stand there awkwardly.

In this situation, he didn't dare to move forward for fear of breathing in the wonderful fragrance on her body, but he couldn't retreat either. He finally caught up with her, but was squeezed in the crowd and stumbled, and he couldn't help blushing.

This special dress made him unable to stop thinking wildly, but he thought quickly, and finally seemed to have thought of something, and he suddenly realized and wanted to look her in the eye again.

However, a voice made him turn around in shock. "You! Come here!!"

Jack felt a pat on the shoulder and was suddenly glad that he didn't have to sway left and right in such an awkward manner. However, he looked back with a serious expression and saw that a soldier had already squeezed in behind him and asked him to turn around.

His eyes lingered again between the soldier's and hers.

Colin was so frightened that he turned around immediately and didn't face the soldier directly. However, as far as he could see, the people around him had already noticed the two of them, not to mention the soldiers who were checking.

She was thin, lonely and timid.

"And you! And you!"

The soldier tapped Colin's shoulder with his wand, signaling her to follow him. Apparently, he was specially chosen to "catch" the two retrogrades and check them first.

"Why are you running?! Come here for a checkup. After the checkup, there's nothing wrong."

The soldier glared at Jack impatiently, but Colin didn't dare to turn around. He just stood there, trembling.

"Hey! Hurry up! If you cooperate with us, we can let you go quickly!"

"Now that you guys are uncooperative, everyone will have to wait for you guys, hurry up."

The soldier reminded Jack and Colin again, but only Jack nodded in cooperation and wanted to follow the soldier forward. Colin remained unmoved and searched for a gap to escape, but the crowd was surging, and wherever they looked, they all searched her with surprise, unraveling the mystery, and they could no longer bear the gaze on her.

She, once again, rushed into the crowd, squeezed her way through the crowd, and tried to get through the thorns that were in the crowd.

"Hey! Hey! Stop!"

When the soldier saw Colin suddenly rushing into the crowd, he fumbled with the whistle hanging on his chest. The whistle blew loudly, making the whole crowd cheer hotly.

The sounds came one after another passing through Colin's ears. She could feel her breathing becoming more and more rapid. Everything in front of her eyes was white and she could not see anything.

She thought to herself that she should not be blind, but at this moment, no matter how hard she blinked, she could not see anyone or any object. There was only a ray of light guiding her to escape step by step in the crowd.

Her expression suddenly stopped being frightened. She gritted her teeth and ran hard, as if everyone was making way for her, the person who was trying to escape.

What kind of person will you be?
My dear Miss Kletcher.

Father……

Her father's voice suddenly echoed behind her, but she clearly realized that the man named father should, perhaps, probably, never appear again in the near future.

Her snow-like skin was gleaming in the crowd. The torn bed sheet, this "unruly long skirt" was wrapping her, lifting her life as she ran, heading towards the dimly lit night.

"There she is! Catch her!"

The commander saw the commotion here and the crowd that had cleared the road. He waved his wand, raised his horse's head loudly, and shouted fiercely!

The soldiers swarmed out, bumping into the crowd and causing screams. If it were not for the fact that horses could not trample on the crowd, the officer would probably have walked through the crowd long ago.

He raised his wand to the sky and shouted angrily, "Catch her alive, don't hurt her! Bastard!"

The soldiers responded one after another, and in the hot wind, their shouts of "Stop!" covered the entire sky.

Jack turned around again almost instantly and saw that the thin figure had already started running away.

People couldn't help but wonder what had happened. Looking around, they found that there was a "path" that was large enough for the thin girl to pass through.

This path was so long, with the dim light and the snowy moonlight interweaving together, forming a narrow and bright path between Jack and her.

help me……

Father……

That pale and weak call seemed to drown out the soldiers' shouting.

He seemed to hear her cry for help deep in her heart, he seemed to hear her helpless desire for her father.

So forceful, so clear, so hot.

He began to feel that his heart had softened, and bright red blood was flowing out deeply, thread by thread, wrapping up the emptiness and loneliness in his heart.

His feet unconsciously moved forward and stood still timidly. Between the narrow beam of light between him and her, his feet unconsciously moved forward, struggling and running.

你 叫 什么 名字？
what do you like?
What is your wish?
Who do you love...?

He ran, ran wildly, like a surging rain curtain, his footsteps fell on the beam of light again and again, his pupils were twinkling with bright stars. In this white beam of light, her escape became more and more helpless.

In this increasingly broad starlight, he was getting closer and closer to her.

It didn't matter what he was thinking now.

Nothing matters anymore.

He chased the escape, the escape from this earthly light.

Hey, sometimes I wonder what kind of person I will be.

He seemed to have really seen her, met and got to know her in his dreams, and fled in confusion in this destiny.

"I do not know."

This must have been what she wanted to say at the time.

"I don't know what I'm going to be, Jack."

"I already have no other choice."

"It's up to me to decide..."

She cried, and her crying made it difficult for him to bear the sorrow.

He ran, ran too fast, and suddenly grabbed her hand and carried her, preventing her from falling into others.

His heart surged and surged so violently, the fire in his heart rose and burned, carrying her and running in front of her.

She looked up in surprise, but could only see his broad arms.

She saw the beam of light gathered from his body, and the iris brooch fell from his chest. Her brows brightened and she grabbed it and held it tightly in her hand.

The light in her eyes allowed him to lead her towards a future that she could not see clearly.

A very serious issue is involved here, and that is the official pairing - that is, whether the author thinks the male and female protagonists will be together.

Writing this chapter did not shake Fenglin, but made me feel a little regretful. Because this is fate, whoever comes to whose world first may become the only one. It is precisely because of the ten reincarnations [mountain vows] that all kinds of "self-doubts and deviations" will appear in the eleventh life, and all this will happen.

There is one more chapter in this article. But I think this little ending is already very good, so I don’t necessarily need to release it.
