With the Dragon Emperor's roar, his majestic divine sense was released instantly, covering the entire forbidden land of samsara. Instantly, the breeze stagnated, the space condensed, all the flowers and plants stopped swaying, even the flying birds, bees and butterflies, and even every drifting grain of sand were frozen in the air, motionless.
“…” Shen Xi lowered her eyes slightly, and in her heart she whispered, “How naughty!” But she couldn’t bear to blame him, and sighed, “There’s no one else here.”
“No, there is indeed someone else’s presence here.” The Dragon Emperor frowned and said, “How dare you to trespass into the forbidden land of samsara! For this crime alone, all nine clans must be executed!”
“You don’t have to look for it anymore.” Shen Xi said slowly, “There is indeed no one else here. What you noticed is the child in my belly.”
The Dragon Emperor is such a man that when he is in the forbidden land of samsara, his mind is always in the most relaxed and defenseless state, and he will never deliberately release his spiritual consciousness.
Once he fully releases his spiritual sense, nothing in the world can hide from his spiritual perception. Therefore, Shen Xi no longer needs to hide anything.
"..." It was as if a huge hammer had hit him directly on the head. The Dragon Emperor's brain buzzed. Then, for the first time in his life, he was absolutely sure that there must be an absurd deviation in his hearing: "What did you...just say?"
“The aura you sensed is the child in my belly.” Shen Xi repeated calmly. She glanced at the Dragon Emperor and said slowly, “With your ability, you should have sensed it just now. Why don’t you want to believe it?”
“…”
“………”
“…………”
The world was filled with an incomparably terrifying silence. The spiritual consciousness shrouding the Forbidden Land of Samsara seemed to be caught in a strong wind, shaking violently. The Dragon Emperor stood there motionless, his two pupils expanding and contracting at an incomparably terrifying rate, like balloons that were constantly being inflated and deflated.
His reaction made Shen Xi frown, and she shook her head in disappointment: “Dragon Emperor, I have taught you many times before. As the Emperor of the Dragon Clan and the Supreme Being of the world, you must not let your mind wander. No matter when, where, or under what circumstances, you must never forget your dignity as the ‘Dragon Emperor.’”
“…” The Dragon Emperor remained motionless, as if he had lost his soul. Perhaps he had heard Shen Xi’s words clearly. His shivering dragon eyes finally regained some focus, but they were filled with an extremely chaotic look that no one could believe would appear in the Dragon Emperor’s eyes. He took a step forward, his body shaking: “Who… who… who! Whose child is this!!”
His voice was hoarse like sandpaper, and every time he shouted a word, a deep crack would appear on the ground beneath his feet.
“…” Shen Xi said nothing, but sighed softly. She didn’t want the Dragon Emperor to know about this matter, and she was worried about this moment… and the Dragon Emperor’s performance was even worse than she had expected.
It's all my own fault... She shook her head secretly.
The Dragon Emperor’s brain was in chaos like the sky collapsing, but at least he still had the most basic ability to think. Shen Xi’s temperament was extremely indifferent, and he never wanted to interact with the world. Even when he came, he would only stay for a short while before leaving immediately... In recent years, or even in the past hundred years... a thousand years... ten thousand years... a hundred thousand years... In this reincarnation forbidden area, besides him, only one man had entered.
Yun Che!
“Yun…Che…Yun Che!?”
As he roared the name, his dragon eyes stopped shrinking and expanded to their maximum: “No… Impossible… Impossible… Absolutely impossible… No… It’s him… It’s him… No no… Not… No…”
Yun Che was the only man who had been here other than him, and he had stayed here for a whole year. He was the only possibility... But how could the Dragon Emperor believe it, how could he accept it! ?
When he first learned that Shen Xi had taken Yun Che in, although he was surprised, he soon felt relieved because Yun Che was indeed an extraordinary person, especially with the extremely special Dragon God aura on him, it was not incomprehensible that Shen Xi was willing to save him.
But no matter what… no matter what he could not imagine… She was Shen Xi, the only goddess in the world, the eternal benefactor of the Dragon God clan, the woman that all the gods didu dared not even dream of seeing, and the woman that even he, the Dragon Emperor, was not worthy of touching.
And Yun Che... is just a little kid who is a little bit special... How is it possible... How is it possible!!
“She is indeed the child of Yun Che and I.” Shen Xi turned away, no longer looking at his miserable look, and said bluntly, “Thirty months ago, Yun Che and I had her. However, my fate is bound, and I cannot leave her, and she cannot be born. In another seven years, I will be able to break free of the bondage and leave this place, and she can be born.”
Buzz...
The Dragon Emperor’s body shook violently… The words in his ear were acknowledged by Shen Xi herself.
His eyes were completely confused, his dragon eyes burst into countless scarlet bloodshot, and his face, which had been majestic for ages, twisted like a demon in an instant: "No... Impossible... It's fake... How could this happen... How could this happen..."
“Shen Xi…you are Shen Xi…how could Yun Che…how could it be possible!!”
“Dragon Emperor!” Shen Xi finally frowned: “You’ve lost your composure.”
In the past, Shen Xi’s light rebuke would always make the Dragon Emperor immediately cautious, but this time, he became even more frantic: “Fake… It’s all fake, how could you be with Yun Che…”
“Long Bai!” Shen Xi felt increasingly disappointed. She lightly rebuked him, a rare example of calling him by his name: “Is this your appearance as a Dragon Emperor? Is this the state of mind that has been accumulated over three hundred thousand years?”
“Listen,” Shen Xi’s voice was still gentle, but it was filled with deep indifference: “I am Shen Xi. What I want to do, where I want to go, who I want to commit myself to, who I want to have children with, it all depends on my will! It has nothing to do with anyone else, and even less with you!”
The Dragon Emperor froze for a moment.
"One hundred thousand years ago, two hundred thousand years ago, three hundred thousand years ago... From the first year you had false thoughts about me, I told you to give up these false thoughts forever! In my eyes, you, like all the other people in the Dragon God lineage, are descendants that I must take care of... I know that you have never been willing to give up these false thoughts over the years, so I didn't want you to know about this, but I didn't expect that you would lose your composure to this extent!"
“Remember this clearly. You are the emperor of the Dragon God lineage and the supreme ruler of the current Primal Chaos. You are not qualified to behave in such a way!” Shen Xi paused for a moment before sighing, “That’s fine. You can finally put aside the delusions that should have been abandoned long ago and find your true Dragon Queen to continue the Dragon God lineage.”
“No… No, no…” Shen Xi’s words did not bring the Dragon Emperor back to consciousness. The bloodshot in his dragon eyes continued to grow, and his aura became increasingly chaotic with every breath he took: “False thoughts… I no longer have false thoughts… Because I am not worthy of them… Even if I become the Dragon Emperor, I still am not worthy of them… I can be close to you and hear your voice every once in a while, which is already a unique gift from heaven to me…”
Shen Xi: “…”
“I never dared to hope… I never even dared to hope to touch the corner of your clothes… Because I am not worthy… No one in this world is worthy!!” The Dragon Emperor’s voice went from trembling to hoarseness: “He Yun Che… Why… Why… Why… No… It’s all fake… It’s all fake!!”
No one could imagine the Dragon Emperor being in such a state.
Indeed, just as he said, he never dared to have extravagant hopes for Shen Xi. Even after becoming the Dragon Emperor, Shen Xi was still the person in his dreams whom he could only look up to. He and Shen Xi had known each other for three hundred thousand years, he had been the Dragon Emperor for more than two hundred thousand years, and the title of Dragon Emperor and Dragon Queen had also existed for two hundred thousand years… but from beginning to end, he really had never even touched the ends of Shen Xi’s hair or the corners of her clothes.
And during these years, as the only person in the world who could enter the forbidden land of samsara and have a close conversation with Shen Xi, he was extremely satisfied.
He never expected to be favored by Shen Xi… He also knew that Shen Xi would never, ever fall in love with him, nor would she fall in love with anyone else in the world.
but why……
She was actually with Yun Che… a man she had just met, a man who was not even a ten-thousandth his age, whose cultivation, background, status, reputation… was not comparable to him in any way…
And I have a child...
Shen Xi turned her back to him and said calmly, “I have already said that whatever I want to do is up to me and has nothing to do with you. Whatever happens between Yun Che and me is my freedom. Whether he is qualified or not is also up to me and has nothing to do with you or anyone else.”
“No… How could it be unrelated…” The Dragon Emperor shook his head, staggered, and almost fell to the ground: “You… are the Dragon Queen… You are my Dragon Queen! The entire Western Divine Region, the entire world knows that you are my Dragon Queen!!”
Shen Xi closed her eyes slightly. The Dragon Emperor’s words undoubtedly showed that he had completely lost his mind. Shaking her head, Shen Xi said in disappointment and powerlessness, “Have you really forgotten where the name ‘Dragon Queen’ originated from? I didn’t object at the time, just for the sake of peace, and because, to me, it didn’t matter at all… You should be very clear about this in your heart, so why are you deceiving others and yourself?”
But, if she knew at that time that there would be someone like Yun Che in the world, perhaps she would not be so “indifferent”.
The Dragon Emperor knew better than anyone where the title of “Dragon Queen” came from. He knew even more clearly that the title of “Dragon Queen” was the highest honor a woman could receive in the world, but to Shen Xi it was just a meaningless title. And this title would prevent the world from disturbing the forbidden land of reincarnation where she lived, so she did not refuse.
But, that was only for Shen Xi.
However, the Dragon Emperor spread this title throughout the Western Divine Region and even the entire Divine Realm at the fastest speed, wishing that everyone in the world would know that Shen Xi was his Dragon Queen… He knew that it would never be possible, and he never had any extravagant hopes in his heart, but with this little bit of a benediction, he wove a humble fantasy for himself.
However, even this humble dream is about to be completely shattered.
It had been three hundred thousand years since Shen Xi had rescued him from the brink of death… For three hundred thousand years, he had known that there was no hope, but he had still not given up on this obsession. He didn’t know whether he should blame himself or the heavens…
Still blame Yun Che.
“I don’t want to say any more about this matter.” Shen Xi closed her beautiful eyes, her voice as quiet as clouds. “For the time being, you don’t have to go to the Eastern Divine Region, and you don’t have to come here. What you need most right now is to calm your mind. This may be a good opportunity for you.”
“Back then, if I had known that someone like Yun Che would appear in the world, I would never have agreed to the title of ‘Dragon Queen’. After I leave the Dragon God Realm, your reputation may be affected in the future. This is my fault, and I will compensate you, the Dragon God Clan, many times over.”
She never wanted to owe anyone anything.
The Dragon Emperor’s pupils were still shrinking, and his lips were still trembling. He looked at Shen Xi’s back, and her disappointment resounded in his heart and soul… a kind of disappointment that was completely indicative of the disappointment he felt towards his juniors. He could no longer utter a single word.
Although, even if Yun Che hadn’t been around, no matter how many years passed, until he died of old age, it would still be impossible for Shen Xi to even glance at him.
But, behind his unrealistic expectations was his firm belief that no one in the world was worthy of her.
Jealousy is like a poisonous snake that can devour no matter how strong one's reason and will are...even dignity and kindness.
Because that is the most terrifying devil in the world.
Especially... the jealousy that came from the obsession of three hundred thousand years.
The Dragon Emperor finally took a step, but did not fly. He walked away step by step. Every step made the ground tremble violently... This was undoubtedly the heaviest step the Dragon Emperor had ever taken in his life.
Dragon Emperor, the Supreme Lord of Chaos, was undoubtedly the strongest in the world in terms of mental strength, and no one could match him. But at this moment, in his soul, there was a devil struggling and raging, screaming and roaring... and in the roar, it was madly devouring all his thoughts...
In the end, even his pair of dragon eyes reflected two devilish shadows... until they drowned all his rationality.
He suddenly turned around, and a twisted and desperate dragon roar suddenly sounded in the world of the Samsara Forbidden Land... A hissing dragon shadow and a mysterious light seemed to come from a collapsing abyss, and it hit Shen Xi's lower abdomen directly.
