Xuan Lung Confession 2

Xuan Lung was not surprised, this he had already guessed when he saw Phoenix, when she was standing behind the door of her room. He already knew that not only her memory restored but her power had also returned. But what he's still confused about. Why only this morning did he feel the vibration of her power. Not the time after she drank the dew, nor the time yesterday they had spent together in the backyard garden.

He smiled reassuringly, raised one hand and with a wave of his hand the illusory wall he had put up disappeared. "As you wish"

She inhaled and exhaled her breath then said "Listen, Hai Zian, I know how you feel about me, and I really, really love and care for you, you know that. but my love and concern for you is a feeling of affection for brother. I'm really sorry I couldn't return your feeling Hai Zian" she looked at Xuan Lung's face, hoping he would understand but all she saw was, his face was serious, his eyes were wiping, his jaw was hardened.

"You can't do this to me Qing Yang. I've done everything I can for you. I love you Qing Yang more than anything. Didn't you see that?" his voice was heavy and quivering every time he said those words.

Emotions overflowed hearing Phoenix's refusal. he stood up from his chair. his always silent and mysterious demeanour, lingered in the darkness of his now darker and in burning eyes.

"Hai Zian, I really like you" Phoenix replied carefully not wanting to add to the tense atmosphere and suffocate her with the aura that Xuan Lung emitted from his body.

"No, it's not that love I want Qing Yang" he shouted in front of Phoenix's face passionately "What I need is the love of between a man and a woman. I've been holding back my feeling too long. I hope you feel my concern and reciprocate it Qing Yang. I don't need your love that only limited to a brother."

"Like I said, I know how you feel about me Hai Zian, but I can't give you what you expect." Phoenix stood up, slowly trying approach him.

"Qing Yang, I have loved you since the first time we met on the riverbank of the Nan Ning valley. Since then, in my heart is fill only you" he told her.

How happy he was when he first met Phoenix by the river. she looks unpretentious, calm demeanour, concern for the environment. At that time, she and Yuen Fei wanted to cross over to the mainland on the other side. At that time, she succumbed to a grandmother and her granddaughter, who also wanted to cross. Though she should be the one to get a turn to cross the river. But instead, she gave it to the grandmother. as a result, she had to wait an hour to get her next turn. This moved Xuan Lung, so with his power he materialize up a boat and offered to give her a ride. And in the boat a while crossings the river they exchanged greetings and words. And since then, they were friends and Phoenix as a thank you, offered to drink tea to Xuan Lung at her residence. After that Xuan Lung would often come and spend time with her at the Phoenix residence.

At a glance Phoenix also recalled that time "I know Hai Zian, it's just—"

"Just what? Because of Xuan Ti, right?" Xuan Lung had run out of patience, so he immediately cut in and shot his words.

Hearing Xuan Lung mention Xuan Ti's name, she had nothing more to hide. In the first place she didn't want to bring up Xuan Ti's name, because that would trigger his emotions even more. "Yes, I met him first, before I met you Hai Zian, and the feelings between us had been going on before we even met. Please Hai Zian, I don't want to hurt you. I knew from the start that you had feelings for me, but seeing our friendship, I really love you and consider you as my brother. please…. understand my feelings" Phoenix pleaded helplessly, tears running down her reddened cheeks, and kept trying to convince Xuan Lung to accept her feelings as a sister.

For a moment there was no response from Xuan Lung, he still looked at Phoenix expectantly. moments later, his face softened. His eyes were no longer glistening with emotion. Phoenix was relieved to see Xuan lung's change.

Xuan Lung approached to her. Raising his right hand, cares her left cheek which was wet with tears. with the back of his long, slender fingers. He raised his left hand, cupping her cheeks, his thumbs wiping away the tears that flowed down.

Xuan Lung's heart softened at the sight of the tears rolling down her cheeks. He couldn't see Phoenix sad let alone she was crying. It made his heart feel like it was being sliced ​​by a sharp dagger. Making him unable to breathe, as if the breath had stopped in the middle of his respiratory tract.

"Qing Yang, please don't cry, you know I can't see you cry. I'm sorry if I made you sad." Phoenix thought her attempt was successful to make Xuan Lung understand, but the following words made her heart stop beating for a moment. "But, I can't lose you Qing Yang, I love you so much, come with me, please…" Xuan Lung pleaded with a pleading voice.

Phoenix raised her both hands, gripped Xuan Lung's wrists and lowered them. After that she said "Hai Zian, how can I make you understand my feelings" her voice sounded sad, making the hearts of those who heard it feel pity, unfortunately that feeling was not felt by Xuan Lung.

"You know, that won't happen Qing-qing" again Xuan Lung's change of behaviour made Phoenix confused "My heart is already filled with you, I treated indifferent to others but I don't do that to you. And you know very well how I have treated you all this time." He Say it with patience and gentleness which he has always done in front of Phoenix.

"Come with me, Qing-qing, I will leave everything, position, wealth, I will leave everything behind. We can find a place far away from everyone, if necessary a secluded place because I know you like quiet place, and so do I. See, we have something in common in this. We can live together forever and live happily" Xuan Lung cooed, something he had never done in his entire life. But he could do it for Phoenix.

"I can't Hai Zian, I have a responsibility here. Besides, I still have a mission---"

"That damn mission again!" Xuan Lung's shout suddenly cut off her words, causing Phoenix to gasp in surprise. "That mission almost cost your life, even your soul Qing Yang, what did you expect from the mission?" Xuan Lung said while shouting "You disappeared, you thought I wasn't looking for you? And you thought only Xuan Ti was looking for you? I even infiltrated to hell just to looking for you" he snapped and emphasized the word 'hell' as he spoke.

"Now come with me" Xuan Lung declared. No longer receiving rejection from the phoenix. he raised his right hand and was about to reach Phoenix's wrist.

"What are you doing Hai Zian?" Xuan Ti's voice boomed within the dining room. He just arrived from the yellow kingdom. And heard screams from inside the residence. He rushed inside only to see something he never imagined would happen. If he was just a second late maybe Phoenix would disappear from his life again. and he would never let it happen.

With a flick of his fingers, Phoenix was pulled back towards him, and he wrapped his arms around Phoenix's waist tightly but not too tightly, enough to keep her safe from all harm.

Seeing this, Xuan Lung's face was bright red, his eyes glistening darkly. He held back, because he knew he was no match for Xuan Ti. If he fought him now, it was certain that he would lose completely.

"Qing Yang waits for me" were the words he spoke before he disappeared in thin air from Xuan Ti and Phoenix's sight.
