When Leon Huang learned that Snow Yue had been sealed away and locked up, he wasn’t surprised at all.
The Heavenly Melody Sect had finally gotten the chance to latch onto Elder Nian’s big tree—there was no way they’d let go so easily. As for whether Snow Yue would be happy after marrying William Nangong, that was none of their concern.
Rescuing Snow Yue would actually be easy, but once he did, he’d have to face Elder Nian’s wrath.
Just dealing with Elder Chu had already taken all his effort—if he had to add Elder Nian to the mix, the pressure would be enormous.
Besides, now that he’d founded the South Domain Martial Alliance, Elder Nian could easily cause trouble for him. So, if he wanted to rescue Snow, it had to be kept secret—no one could know. That way, even if Elder Nian wanted to make things difficult, he’d have no excuse.
Of course, even without an excuse, Elder Nian could still make trouble for him easily—he just wouldn’t be able to do it openly.
“Leon, are you really going to rescue my senior‑sister?” Emily Fu asked.
“Sorry, I’m about to get married, so I really can’t leave.” Leon Huang shook his head.
“What? You’re really not going?” Emily Fu was shocked and a little angry. She might be simple, but she wasn’t stupid—Snow Yue had begged her to deliver the jade pendant to Leon Huang as a cry for help, but now Leon refused to go. How could she not be upset?
“Since Miss Fu came all this way, why not take a look around Pristine Way Sect before heading back?” Leon Huang said with a smile.
"You're really not going?" Emily Fu glared angrily at Leon Huang.
Snow Yue's eyes, which had held a glimmer of hope, instantly dimmed when she heard Leon Huang wouldn't come.
"Senior-sister, don't be sad. If it comes to it, I'll go beg Master." Emily Fu comforted her.
Snow Yue gently waved her hand, forcing a smile: "Junior-sister, you should go. I want to be alone for a while."
"Senior-sister, don't be sad anymore, okay? He's not worth it!"
"Don't say any more, Junior-sister. I just want some quiet time alone. You should head back." Snow Yue insisted on solitude.
"Oh." Emily Fu nodded helplessly. "Senior-sister, I'll come visit you again."
For the next few days, Faye Mei kept watch over Snow Yue at Hundred Blades Peak, and Leon Huang never appeared. This made her doubt again—could it be that he really wasn't coming to rescue Snow Yue?
Ever since returning to Heavenly Melody Sect, she had been deliberately gathering information about Leon Huang.
Sect Master of Pristine Way, Alliance Leader of the South Domain Martial Alliance, and a bearer of an Emperor-Rank Martial Soul.
With someone like him, his future was limitless. No one with any sense would offend Elder Nian over a woman.
After analyzing everything, Faye Mei was almost certain Leon Huang wouldn't come to rescue anyone. She couldn't help feeling deeply disappointed—she'd thought she could finally get her revenge this time, but never expected that guy wouldn't even give her a chance.
"Damn it!" she couldn't help cursing venomously.
Even though she was convinced Leon Huang wouldn't come, she still kept watch at Hundred Blades Peak for another seven or eight days.
"Forget it, if I can't get revenge this time, I'll just have to wait for another chance!"
Feeling frustrated, Faye Mei left Hundred Blades Peak.
Not long after she left, a figure appeared not far from where she'd been hiding. Who else could it be but Leon Huang?
In the next instant, the figure flickered and Leon Huang vanished.
Moments later, he appeared directly inside Snow Yue's room.
At that moment, Snow Yue looked haggard, staring blankly out the window. She didn't even notice Leon Huang appear behind her.
"Snow-sis," Leon Huang called softly.
"Ah!"
Hearing that familiar voice, Snow Yue couldn't help but cry out in surprise. She spun around and saw Leon Huang standing there with a smile. Her eyes grew wet with emotion as she exclaimed:
"You... Why did you come?"
"Of course I came to rescue you, Snow-sis," Leon Huang replied.
"You liar! I was already disappointed, and then you just had to show up!"
A fragrant breeze swept by, and Leon Huang found a delicate figure in his arms. Instinctively, he wrapped his arm around her waist and said softly, "Snow-sis, you've lost weight."
"You rascal, have you been coveting me for a long time? Is that why you know my body so well?" Snow Yue lifted her head, her eyes blazing with passion.
"Yes."
Leon Huang didn't shy away from her gaze. Before, there might have only been a hint of affection between them, but now, he realized Snow Yue's feelings had grown into love.
Two lines of tears slid down Snow Yue's cheeks, but soon her face blossomed into a radiant smile.
"Kiss me."
"Okay."
Instead of kissing Snow Yue's lips, Leon Huang first kissed away the tears on her face. The bittersweet taste made him feel her deep love.
Leon Huang kissed her gently and carefully, soon kissing away all the tears from Snow Yue's face. Then he whispered in her ear, "Snow-sis, I'll never let you cry again. I swear!"
"Mm. I believe you." Snow Yue nodded and gently closed her eyes.
Leon Huang lowered his head again, this time kissing her dry lips. Snow Yue responded, but her movements were awkward and forceful, so their teeth bumped together several times.
"Easy, let me lead."
