Peerless War God Returns

On the table, there was a half-eaten bowl of bird's nest porridge. Lightning flashed outside the window, and the rain fell on the window glass without restraint, making a loud 'Ta Ta' sound.    

    

However, these sounds were isolated outside the thick glass window of Zhuang Jiyue's room.    

    

The rain had come just in time. The storm did not bother her at all. On the contrary, it was more in line with Zhuang Jiyue's current state of mind. She could not help but walk towards a large French window.    

    

When people heard that they were in a bad mood, they would just stand in the middle of the heavy rain without any precautions, and walk in the pouring rain, it gave them a wonderful feeling.    

    

The kind of rain that should have been avoided, but let it pour on without any scruples, became a thing worth enjoying.    

    

It was just like Zhuang Jiyue, who was standing in the middle of the rain and wind without any intention of dodging. Standing in the rain, she felt like a brave and fearless warrior, disdainful of the rain.    

    

The rain was like the world's malice towards her. No matter how much it abused her, she faced it fearlessly.    

    

Thunder and lightning continued to flash in the sky, as if it was a free-for-all lighting show in nature. At the same time, a shocking symphony was being played.    

    

A man is as tiny as an ant in the performance of nature.    

    

The rain hit Zhuang Jiyue's forehead and hit her face. The dense rain almost made her unable to open her eyes. Her hair became wet and stuck together from a dry state.    

    

The rain soaked her clothes, causing them to stick to her skin without any cracks, highlighting Zhuang Jiyue's slim and gentle body, her celestial body, and her exquisite figure.    

    

The baptism of wind and rain made Zhuang Jiyue forget her worries for a moment and become free and at ease.    

    

This fierce wind, rain, and thunder was more like the embodiment of her inner world. Although it was sinister and terrifying, once she faced it directly, it actually made her feel less uncomfortable.    

    

The thing that really made her uncomfortable was not the terrifying thing that could be seen, but the power that could not be seen or felt, but that could subtly control her. That was the true terror.    

    

When Zhuang Jiyue saw such violent winds and torrential rain, she actually felt at ease.    

    

"What else can't be passed over? The worst case scenario is to jump down from here and then there will be nothing left to worry about. Compared to the pain and suffering from living on, that moment of pain and terror is nothing at all."    

    

After standing on the balcony for a while, the barefoot Zhuang Jiyue felt the cold rain water on the ground. She was drenched from head to toe, feeling the bone-chilling cold of the late autumn rain.    

    

This made her, who was originally low in blood sugar, even more delicate. She couldn't even stand properly.    

    

The energy of the half-filled bowl of porridge was only enough for her to come out of bed and out of the balcony, but it could not support her standing in the cold rain for that long.    

    

Zhuang Jiyue's body was swaying a little. She couldn't stand steadily. In the light that cut through the night sky, she saw a figure standing in front of her in the darkness.    

    

She thought it was the death that had come to take her away.    

    

"Jiyue?!"    

    

She heard a voice call her name, but her body fell back uncontrollably.    

    

"Who is it?"    

    

"It really is the god of death."    

    

She felt herself falling down, and just as she was about to touch the ground, she was caught by a pair of powerful arms.    

    

She knew that she was being held, that she had avoided a collision with the hard ground, but there were many black spots in her vision, just like in an old television set when there was no signal.    

    

This made her unable to see the person in front of her eyes clearly, making her look a little dazed.    

    

"Jiyue, why are you alone in the rain?"    

    

"I'm Chu Xihee."    

    

That's right, the person who appeared was Chu Xihee.    

    

Originally, sneaking into the manor was a very difficult thing to do, even Chu Xihee couldn't easily sneak in while being on guard. There were too many bodyguards patrolling the manor, so he couldn't attack them.    

    

Coincidentally, there was a heavy rain, which provided a good cover for him to sneak in.    

    

He didn't expect to see a figure standing on a balcony just as he was about to enter. Who would have thought that someone would be standing on a balcony under heavy rain?    

    

He had originally thought that he would be discovered and was going to knock the person out, but it turned out to be Zhuang Jiyue.    

    

At this moment, Zhuang Jiyue's face was as white as snow, and some hair that had been drenched by the rain stuck to her cheeks. This made her look more haggard than before, with a kind of sickly gentleness and beauty.    

    

Especially since she was only wearing a thin white gauze home nightgown, which had become somewhat transparent after being soaked by the rain. One could even vaguely see her exquisite and graceful figure.    

    

Zhuang Jiyue was probably going to scold Chu Xihee after she realized what was going on.    

    

Since he knew how Zhuang Jiyue would react according to her personality in the past, Chu Xihee could only avoid looking at her in the eye.    

    

Noticing that Zhuang Jiyue's consciousness seemed to be drifting about, in the blink of an eye, she seemed to have fallen asleep.    

    

After Chu Xihee put her on the sofa, he called her by her name and woke her up.    

    

When his hand touched her body, he found that she was very cold. He quickly grabbed a blanket in the room and helped her wipe the water off her body.    

    

Zhuang Jiyue seemed to have slept for a very short time. When she opened her eyes, she felt the cold air around her lessening and the temperature increasing. A warm cloth pulled away the chill from her body, giving her the feeling of being cared for by an elder when she was young.    

    

"Why am I asleep? Why am I here? "    

    

A figure was helping her wipe her body.    

    

When Chu Xihee touched his chest, he felt a pair of eyes looking at him. When he turned around, his beautiful eyes bumped into Zhuang Jiyue's.    

    

"Ah, this..." "Jiyue, listen to my explanation …"    

    

However, before Chu Xihee could react, Zhuang Jiyue had already hugged him.    

    

That feeling of suddenly opening his arms and hugging him made Chu Xihee feel overwhelmed and inexplicably warm.    

    

Especially the moment when Zhuang Jiyue hugged him, he noticed that Zhuang Jiyue's eyes had a sparkling and translucent lustre.    

    

At that moment, Chu Xihee could clearly see that she was on the verge of breaking out in emotions.    

    

"You're here."    

    

Zhuang Jiyue suddenly burst into tears as she spoke. All the depression and emotion she felt at that moment was like a dam had collapsed, and the raging flood had washed away thousands of miles in an instant.    

    

Her hand tightly wrapped around Chu Xihee's neck. She used all of her strength to grab onto his back. When there was despair, she saw the joy of hope, but she was also afraid that this person who brought hope would disappear at any time.    

    

Chu Xihee felt both surprised and happy as he felt her firm grip on him.    

    

He hadn't thought that the next time he would meet in the capital would be such a intimate scene. He didn't know how to put his hands together.    

    

Hearing Zhuang Jiyue sobbing on his shoulder, Chu Xihee still hugged Zhuang Jiyue's soft body.
