Forsaken Immortals Chapter 66 - Time To Part

Chapter 66 - Time To Part

The following days went by fast. Although Bai Rouyun had every intention of staying within the Primal Chaos Dimension and cultivating through the herbal baths, she did not enter the dimension too much, as she knew that Li Moyun would be leaving shortly.
Bai Rouyun was not entirely sure about her emotions when it came to Li Moyun, but she could see the longing in his eyes, and it was enough to make her heart beat erratically.
She was eager to deal with her own things, but she put her cultivation on standby for a few days to keep him company until he had to leave.
Li Moyun would take Bai Rouyun out from the Yun Palace and through the streets, he would take her shopping, and eat at the fine restaurants, both of them wearing their own faces, and letting the world see that they had completely healed Bai Rouyun.
Although their original plan was to make it take a bit longer, this imperial edict sending him to the frontlines had caused their plans to go awry, and they could only adjust their schedule.
As a result of Li Moyun bringing Bai Rouyun out to town, the two of them became the hottest subject of gossip.
Many were envious towards Bai Rouyun that she had found such a good husband who treated her wholeheartedly and even helped her heal her disabilities, others envied Li Moyun for having such a devoted and alluring wife.
But one thing was certain; they had become a very famous couple in the Imperial Capital; however, the palace soon released news about a new Imperial Edict. Prince Yun was to go to the frontlines and fight for the country once again.
When hearing that the one who had to take over the battle was Prince Yun, many young men and veterans hurried to sign up for the army. They all idolized Prince Yun, who had never lost a battle, and wished to fight under him.
The original army of a million soldiers ended up being doubled by the time three days had passed, and it was time for them to set off.
Li Moyun woke up early that day, the sun had not yet risen, but he knew that the army was to set up with the first rays of sunshine, and he could not be late.
Since he had decided to keep his identity as Prince Yun, he was forced to keep up with the rules. A sigh escaped his lips as he looked at the bed. Originally Bai Rouyun had been very against sharing a bed with him, but after his numerous efforts, they could now sleep on the same bed. However, there was a safe distance between them; she made sure that they did not touch.
Even so, he was reluctant to leave when he saw her sweetly sleeping expression.
The truth was that a cultivator of Li Moyun's strength did not need to sleep much. Only if his mind was strained would sleep help, but after marrying Bai Rouyun and getting close to her, he found that sleeping by her side was so relaxing and enjoyable that he did not want to lose this luxury.
Now that he had to go to the army, he knew that this was the last sleep he would have in all the time he would be away, and it felt even more precious.
He leaned forward, his lips gently brushing past Bai Royun's forehead. She frowned slightly in her sleep upon feeling the soft touch, but she quickly fell into deep sleep again.
Seeing that he had not woken her up, Li Moyun felt both relieved and regretful. Sighing again, he slowly climbed out of bed, washed up, changed his clothes, and with a last glance at his wife, he left the bed chambers.
By the time Bai Rouyun woke up, Li Moyun had been gone for a few hours, his place in the bed had gone cold, and she could not help but stare at the empty bed with a bit of mixed feelings.
There was a strange sense of loss in her heart, but she quickly hid it away, and her innocent and sweet smile appeared on her lips once more.
She washed up, got dressed, and exited the bed chambers, only to find that Mo Chu was waiting for her outside. Looking at the stoic youth, she could not help but slap her forehead. How could she have forgotten about him?
"What does Madam wish to do today?" Mo Chu asked politely, and Bai Rouyun shrugged her shoulders. "I need some herbs," she said.
This time she was not going to buy expensive herbs, she was just going for herbs aged ten years or above, and the ones she needed were of normal rarity. She was going to craft two of her Marrow-Cleansing Pills and then head to the Xiaolong Empire. Did she really have to bring Mo Chu along with her?
Frowning, she decided to think about that later. Now, her trip was to the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, so it was not too big of an issue to bring him.
In fact, she did not mind bringing a friend, but the problem was that she knew that Mo Chu did not fully trust her. He was only following her for the sake of returning to Li Moyun's side and telling him everything she did, and Bai Rouyun did not enjoy being monitored.
Her mind was free like a bird, not a canary in a cage. She could not help but feel slightly apprehensive whenever she thought about having to take a spy with her everywhere she went.
