Chapter 551 - 551: Reunion
” Hmm, you aren’t going to say anything?”
Zi Yanrou sat beside Jun Tianyun in the garden. The cloth was still covering her eyes. However, she acted as if everything was fine.
” Mm, just came home and this much anger? You haven’t learned anything even after all these time.”
Raising her palm, she held Jun Tianyun’s palm.
Instantly, the cloud in the sky rumbled, lightning flashing like a blue serpent. With muffled thunders, drops of water soon began to fall.
” I am… Sorry.”
Jun Tianyun rubbed Zi Yanrou’s palm as he only managed to muster a few words.
” Geez, don’t be like that.” Zi Yanrou gently shoved Jun Tianyun’s shoulder. ” You were busy in something important. Even I didn’t expect such an incident to happen though.”
Looking at Zi Yanrou with complicated emotions, Jun Tianyun slowly raised her hands to remove her blindfold. However, Zi Yanrou suddenly grabbed his palm.
” I… I am a bit of afraid?”
” Afraid? Of what?” Jun Tianyun asked softly.
” I am afraid that you won’t like it.” Zi Yanrou uttered. ” I mean… What if I am looking ugly.”
” Yanrou…” Jun Tianyun mustered his strength, raising his voice. ” You think I care about that?”
” No matter what, I love you. I love you the most!”
Zi Yanrou slowly let go of Jun Tianyun’s hand. A light pout appeared on her face, ” Hmph, you better do.”
With mild tremble, Jun Tianyun removed the blindfold. As the cloth fell, Jun Tianyun saw the eyes of Zi Yanrou.
A soft relief appeared in his heart, as it wasn’t the worst case scene. Her eyes were still there…However, her iris turned grey. Jun Tianyun could understand that she was unable to see anything anymore.
[ Yin Yang Divine Eyes (Damaged)]
When Jun Tianyun touched her face, he could scan Zi Yanrou’s eyes with his divine sense.
” Who…Who did it?”
Jun Tianyun’s lips trembled as he kept caressing Zi Yanrou’s face. However, the murderous edge in his tone only turned colder.
” It started a month ago.” Zi Yanrou sighed as she leaned on Jun Tianyun’s shoulder.
” As we expanded the influence of Jun Family and Sky Fire Group’s influence, it attracted a lot of attention.” Zi Yanrou recounted.
” You know, we don’t really fear anyone within the Xia Nation. However, it turned out to be different. They came from the Azure Cloud Domain.”
” It’s a secret domain which resides in a spatial dimension, in extreme east of Xia Nation. It was the homeground of ancient sects and noble families.”
” We got the news that the hidden sects were sending their disciples and proxies to the mortal world, to collect both talent and secure resources.”
” Naturally, we didn’t comply with any of them.” Zi Yanrou chuckled. ” And then began threats.”
” With Evangeline and Ashley with me, they alone killed anyone who dared to harbour negative thoughts about us. Not to mention, the guards of Heaven’s Calamity group was enough to strike fear in any kind of nation.”
” However, an accident happened. Due to a troublesome incident, I took Ashley and went there. It turned out to be a spatial gate filled with unknown creatures.”
” As our guards cleaned up, a group of masked men made a sneak attack.”
” They used some kind of gas, that reduced everyone’s internal energy to almost zero. Ashley managed to overpower them with her ability.
A cold smile appeared on Zi Yanrou’s lips. ” They really tried to kill us. But our strength and technology gave them a big surprise. We killed more than a half of them.”
” Unfortunately, one of them got me.”
” They came for me, didn’t they?” Jun Tianyun closed his eyes and asked.
” Not entirely. It seems like they knew they wouldn’t be able to approach you.” Zi Yanrou spoke with some thought. ” Therefore, they wanted to kill us all. Everyone, who is related to you, was their target.”
” Also, there was a strange thing.” Zi Yanrou mumbled. ” It seems like they knew I have special eyes. They didn’t know what kind of eyes I had, but they knew they were special.”
Jun Tianyun’s face turned cold when he heard that.
Along with X-Ray Vision, the Yin Ynag Divine Eyes also had function of mind reading. So, Zi Yanrou used that chance to read what the assassins were thinking.
” Netherworld Cult. They were from the Netherworld Cult.”
” However, it looks like they got some sort of tip from Tianzhong Clan.”
” Hahahaha! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
Jun Tianyun let go of Zi Yanrou as he laughed out loud.
” Good! Good! I let go of you once, only for you to barge into the gates of hell.”
” People really don’t shed tears till they see coffin, huh?”
” Jun Tianyun, calm down.” Zi Yanrou urged. ” You must not rush recklessly. The Netherworld Cult in Azure Cloud Domain is much powerful than you think.”
” I… I don’t want you to face danger because of me.”
Turning towards Zi Yanrou, Jun Tianyun suddenly pulled her to his embrace. Holding her waist dearly, he leaned forward, sealing Zi Yanrou’s soft lips with his.
Zi Yanrou felt like her body was melting into Jun Tianyun’s embrace. She hugged back tightly, reciprocating his kiss with equal favor.
‘ Ah…How much I missed this taste. It’s truly him.’
” Don’t worry about me, Yanrou.” Jun Tianyun smiled lightly. ” Nothing will happen to me.”
” Now, close your eyes.”
” Huh?”
Zi Yanrou felt Jun Tianyun’s palm on her eyes. Confused, she still obeyed him.
” Won’t you see your husband’s handsome face, Yanrou?”
The moment Zi Yanrou heard Jun Tianyun, she couldn’t help but give a self depreciating laugh.
She merelost her eyes, not the treasure of Yin Yang Divine Eyes. Given time, her eyes would have restored. However, Zi Yanrou didn’t only lost her eyes, but she was actually poisoned by the Netherworld Cult’s assassins!
Therefore, the treasure saved Zi Yanrou’s life from the death’s door. But it lost all its energy in that process, rendering Zi Yanrou blind.
Despite being blind, Zi Yanrou used her senses to navigate her life easily. She could feel outline of everyone and everything, making her live as usual.
However, when Zi Yanrou heard Jun Tianyun, she still opened her eyes.
A burst of light made her flinch, a response of someone seeing light after staying long in darkness.
” Th-This…”
Tears streamed from Zi Yanrou’s eyes as she stared at Jun Tianyun, her eyes regaining their luster once more.
She cupped Jun Tianyun’s face, staring at him intently. As if she was trying to digest that she was seeing Jun Tianyun with her eyes, not with only her senses.
” What? Looking more mature and handsome, I presume?” Jun Tianyun grinned.
” You silly bastard!”
Zi Yanrou hugged him tightly, kissing him deep.
The droplets of rain stopped, with a beam of sunlight cracking through the dark clouds.
Somehow, people around felt the sunlight felt very mellow and nourishing. A sense of peace and hope washed when they saw the cloud dissipating with golden rays of sun shine.

” Hahaha, finished your lovey dovey moment?” Jun Ronghua grinned when she saw Jun Tianyun and Zi Yanrou returning from the garden.
” My, my sister in law looks more beautiful than photo.” Jun Ronghua clicked her tongue as she looked around, eyeing at other women.
” Or should I say, sister in laws?”
” Ahem, Greetings, Sister in Law. I am Zi Yanrou.” Zi Yanrou bowed lightly.
” I did heard from Grandpa Jun that Jun Tianyun has a sister. I never expected to see you so suddenly though.”
” Ara~ It’s fine. Me and Xiao Yun just reunited recently.” Jun Ronghua stood before Zi Yanrou.
” And lets say, the reunion was very…intense.”
” Ooh la la.” Cai Ningxue was almost trying to look for melon seeds when she saw the scene.
” Is it me, or there are sparks flying before them?” Luo Bingyu chuckled.
Zi Yanrou and Jun Ronghua stared at each other, but Jun Ronghua made the first move.
She leaned forward and hugged Zi Yanrou tightly.
” Thank you for being with Xiao Yun when he needed the most. Rest assured, those who tried to harm you…” Jun Ronghua’s tone turned cold.
” I will make them regret of coming to this world.”
