“…” Shen Xi turned her eyes away, stunned for a moment. With her life experience, she couldn’t understand why Yun Che was so resolute.
He knew clearly that he couldn't save her, and that he would die in vain if he went. No matter how important the person was to him, he shouldn't be so unreasonable.
“I won’t let you go.” Shen Xi sighed softly, “You’ve already gone insane. Calm yourself down for a while.”
“I am very calm. I am calmer than I have ever been in my life!” Yun Che’s voice became hoarser and hoarser, blood seeping from between his teeth: “I understand everything you said, every word! But you don’t understand what she means to me… You will never understand!”
Shen Xi: “…”
"Let go... of me... please... let me go... let me go!!!"
Snap! !
An extremely terrifying tearing sound was heard, and two shocking blood marks appeared on Yun Che’s arms at the same time.
His body was completely suppressed, yet it was bursting with such astonishing and resolute power of struggle… Shen Xi’s beautiful eyes were trembling violently. The Yun Che in front of her was like a desperate beast locked in a dark cage, roaring and struggling with its own blood and life.
Without Jasmine, Yun Che would just be the useless person who was kicked out of his home, looked down upon, and even his own family was unable to protect him. Was he grateful to Jasmine? No... definitely not. His feelings for Jasmine were very strange, and they were different from any other woman who had walked into his life. He couldn't tell what those feelings were. However, it was this inexplicable spiritual entanglement that made him chase her to the God Realm, and made him never enter the God Path, and become the first in the Conferred God of the Eastern God Territory in just three years... just to see her again.
Now, he heard that she was about to be sacrificed and disappear from this world forever... At that moment, he felt that his whole world was falling apart.
He had to be by her side, no matter what...even if it meant death, even if he lost everything. He knew very well that this thought of his was hopelessly stupid in the eyes of anyone. But, in his life, in these two lives, he had never been so determined as he was now.
“Master,” He Ling stepped forward, then knelt gently in front of Shen Xi: “Please… let him go.”
Shen Xi frowned slightly, “Ling’er, how could you be so foolish too?”
"Because Ling'er understands his feelings." He Ling's eyes were hazy and her voice was sad: "If it was Lin'er, I would definitely go... Even if I knew I couldn't save him, and I knew I would just die in vain... I would definitely go."
“…” Shen Xi looked at He Ling, and looked at Yun Che. “I don’t know what to do”… This feeling, which had been gone for who knows how many years, lingered in her heart.
What exactly is he doing this for?
Wanhu...if it were you...
“Let… me…let me go!!”
"Owner……"
In her ears, Yun Che’s hoarse roar overlapped with He Ling’s request. She turned around, facing away from the two of them, and slowly closed her eyes.
"Do you know how to get to the Star God Realm?"
She asked softly, her voice as faint as the wind and as light as cotton wool.
“…” Yun Che’s struggle froze slightly. He had been to the Star God Realm before, but that time, he was transported there from the Eternal Sky God Realm’s teleportation formation. He did not know where the Star God Realm was located.
Shen Xi stretched out her hand and lightly tapped. A dot of white light flew out and tapped into the center of Yun Che’s brow. Instantly, the location of the Star God Realm was clearly engraved in Yun Che’s mind and soul.
"I saved your life, but... your destiny is ultimately your own. If you want to do so, it is your freedom. I can persuade you, but I have no right to stop you... Since you have chosen this, then go ahead."
Bang!
With a slight sound, the white light that was wrapped around Yun Che dissipated.
The suppression disappeared, and Yun Che staggered violently, almost falling to the ground. After he stood still, he did not leave immediately, but stood there, staring blankly at Shen Xi's back... for a long, long time.
He walked forward slowly and gently hugged Shen Xi from behind.
Shen Xi: “…”
“Shen Xi…” Yun Che breathed calmly and whispered in her ear: “Although, I still don’t know why you are so good to me, but… you saved my life, you gave me my light profound strength, and you also tried hard to reshape my state of mind and guide my originally unpromising pursuits… I know all of this and can feel it.”
“When I broke through to the Divine King realm, I even thought that my state of mind had undergone a major transformation.”
"But...when I heard her name, I realized that I have always been a useless mortal!"
“…” Shen Xi said nothing, nor did she push him away.
"Although, you will definitely find it childish and ridiculous. But...she is the one who can make me give everything for her, regardless of the consequences."
"I am destined to disappoint your kindness and expectations in this life. If there is an afterlife... I will try my best to find you and listen to you carefully..."
Yun Che suddenly let go of Shen Xi, and soared into the sky, flying into the Vanishing Moon Celestial Palace. A strong moonlight exploded in the air, and the Vanishing Moon Celestial Palace turned into a flashing star mark, disappearing into the distant sky.
“Master…” He Ling called out softly. Before she could say goodbye, she had already transformed into a beam of emerald green light and disappeared behind Shen Xi, returning to the Sky Poison Pearl.
After a long while, Shen Xi finally turned around. She stretched out her jade finger and lightly drew a line in front of her body, establishing an advanced sound transmission array.
“Do me a favor… Yun Che is on his way to the Star God Realm right now. No matter what, please protect him…”
Shen Xi’s words were interrupted. After a few breaths of silence, she slowly lowered her palm, and the profound sound transmission formation also disintegrated in mid-air.
“Forget it…” Shen Xi raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with endless disappointment. What she had originally thought was a gift from heaven was going to die so quickly.
“Is this also destiny?”
The Vanishing Moon Celestial Palace remained at a very high speed, flying straight towards the distant Eastern Divine Region. As the world's top-level profound warship, its speed was difficult for even Qianye to catch up with, but Yun Che still felt it was too slow.
“Yun Che, you and I are a master and disciple after all… If you still respect me as your master, then promise me one last thing… I want you to swear right now that you will never step into the Realm of the Gods for the rest of your life!”
…………
"Even if you can enter the Realm of the Gods, you won't be able to find me... Even if you can find me... I will never see you!"
…………
"From today on, I am no longer your master. We are no longer in a relationship and we owe each other nothing!"
…………
"What did I, the Star God of Heaven, do? When did I have to explain to a mortal like you? I am a Star God, but I took the initiative to come to you today. I have given you a huge honor! Not only are you not grateful, but you are even taking advantage of me!?"
"Back then on Blue Pole Star, I had no choice but to rely on you... But now, who are you in front of me? What qualifications do you have to ask to see me? What qualifications do you have for me to explain anything to you!?"
"Hurry... hurry... get out!!"
…………
"You...you...an idiot...a big idiot...wuwu...wuwa..."
“Yun Che, Cai Zhi, I want the two of you to become husband and wife here today!”
“There has always been an abyss in Caizhi’s heart. You are now Caizhi’s husband, and you have the responsibility… to prevent her from ever falling into this abyss!”
“Yun Che, three years from now, you must not only protect me, but also Caizhi… protect her for the rest of her life.”
"Yun Che, remember every word I said to you. Don't forget a single word."
…………
Countless words, countless situations replayed chaotically in his mind: her heartlessness, her determination, her crying, her soft words, her entrustment… everything pointed to the most ruthless reality.
He sat on the ground, his whole body was getting colder and his teeth were clenched tightly, almost never loosening for a moment.
"If you don't see her within five years, you will never see her again in your life."
This was what the Golden Crow Spirit had said to him back then, and it was also the direct reason why he rushed to the God Realm... Obviously, the Golden Crow Spirit had long known about today's fruit, either because Jasmine had told it, or because it came from its ancient memories.
The words of the Golden Crow Spirit, Jasmine's strange words, her abnormally strong hatred for her father, and her actions towards Caizhi that seemed like she was entrusting someone with something...
I should have noticed it earlier, I should have noticed it earlier! Why am I so naive that I don't want to think in this direction...
Jasmine... you said you killed countless people, and you always claimed to be bloodthirsty and ruthless, but I know better than anyone that as a star god with the power of killing, you never kill indiscriminately, and you even never like blood on your hands. You even strictly ordered Caizhi not to take people's lives at will. When was the blood on your hands for yourself...
You are not treated kindly by the world, but you always treat the world around you kindly... for your brother, for your mother, for me... and for Caizhi...
Why didn’t you take Caizhi with you when you escaped? Caizhi was so dependent on you. Compared to losing you, she would definitely prefer to rebel against the Star God Realm with you, even if she had to live in the shadows and be hunted down for the rest of her life... You were obviously so smart, why were you so foolish in such a matter?
You have scolded me so many times because of my impulsiveness and disobedience, and you are the same...
Yun Che slowly clenched his hands. In the palm of his right hand was the Void Illusion Stone that Caizhi had given him.
If he could make it in time, if he could get close to Jasmine, he might be able to take Jasmine away with him… But he knew even more clearly how slim this hope was. For this ceremony, the Star God Realm had opened up the Absolute Star Soul Barrier, and it was impossible for them to allow any accidents to happen.
He Ling walked over silently, and then leaned lightly on Yun Che's side.
Yun Che turned his eyes and said, “He Ling, I…”
Before he could even say it, He Ling had already gently shook her head: "No need to say it, let alone say sorry. I said it the day I became your poison spirit, no matter what the outcome will be in the future, I will not regret it."
Yun Che: “…”
“Lin’er is dead. I didn’t protect him well, I couldn’t save him, and I didn’t even get to see him for the last time. I understand how painful it is.” He Ling said softly, “Don’t leave the same regrets as I did. No matter what the outcome is, I will be with you.”
“He Ling…” Yun Che whispered softly, and was speechless for a long time. He Ling’s existence and words were undoubtedly the best companionship and comfort in the world for him at this moment. However, he knew that he could never repay his debt to her in this life.
