“How is it?” Xia Qingyue asked as Xuanzhou returned.
“It’s done.” Yun Che breathed a sigh of relief. “In three hours, the poison will completely take effect. Qianye Fantian himself doesn’t dare to touch the evil infant’s devil energy easily, so before that, if there is no major accident, he should not be able to discover the natural poison hidden in the devil energy.”
"That's good."
“But…” Although there was no danger, Yun Che still had a lingering feeling of fear: “That was Qianye Brahma. We are really brave enough.”
“If you didn’t have the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor as your backer, I would never dare to do this.” Xia Qingyue said calmly: “By this time tomorrow, there will probably be a result. If it succeeds, that would be great. If it fails… I will bear the consequences myself.”
“I was the one who poisoned you. If I fail, I will share the consequences with you.” Yun Che said casually.
“You should just mind your own business.” Xia Qingyue completely ignored his words: “Have you figured out a solution for the return of the Devil God?”
Yun Che shook his head: “Absolutely not.”
Xia Qingyue: “…”
The greatest hope is undoubtedly Hong'er and You'er, but...
“Faced with beings at the level of the Devil Emperor and Devil God, the mortal spirits of this world are too humble and powerless.” Xia Qingyue lowered her voice: “You don’t need to put too much pressure on yourself, and you don’t need to force yourself to succeed. You are not the appointed savior, and you have no obligation to become the savior.”
Yun Che smiled: "Well, I understand, thank you."
Yun Che's words of thanks made Xia Qingyue's eyes turn around with a complicated expression.
“By the way, after you returned, you probably haven’t gone to the Dragon God Realm to visit Senior Shen Xi yet, right?” Xia Qingyue said in a calm tone, “She is your lifesaver and gave you the profound power of light. If it weren’t for Senior Shen Xi, today’s situation would not have been possible.”
“Well, I haven’t been there.” Yun Che leaned against the wall with a slightly strange look on his face, “I won’t be going there in the short term.”
“Why? Is it because she is in seclusion?” Xia Qingyue turned her eyes back.
Yun Che shook his head, his expression somewhat unnatural: “Although I don’t know what happened to her, she is definitely not in seclusion.”
“Oh?” Xia Qingyue seemed to be interested: “The Dragon Queen Shen Xi’s seclusion was said by the Dragon Emperor himself, and it is not a secret in the Dragon God Realm. Why do you think so?”
“Because I know her better than anyone else… ahem, what I mean is that Shen Xi’s profound strength is very special, and she doesn’t need to go into seclusion in an ordinary way. In addition, being in the largest forbidden area in the Dragon God Realm, the only one who can ‘disturb’ her at any time is the Dragon Emperor. And if she wants to not be disturbed for a long time, she will directly seal off the reincarnation forbidden area and basically won’t inform the Dragon Emperor in advance. The Dragon Emperor will leave on his own initiative if he sees this. Even if she did inform the Dragon Emperor, given her extremely indifferent nature and her unwillingness to have anything to do with the secular world, she would not allow him to let the entire Dragon God Realm and the outside world know about this.”
Xia Qingyue: “…”
"In addition, she and the Dragon King have always maintained a special boundary that outsiders would never believe. In addition, there is an even more special reason. Unless it is absolutely necessary, she will never want to borrow or owe the Dragon King anything, even a little bit. So... even if she really wants to retreat for a long time, she will never use the power of the Dragon King to cast another sealing barrier."
Xia Qingyue glanced at Yun Che deeply.
“So that day in the Snow Song Realm, when the Eternal Heaven God Emperor told me about Shen Xi’s seclusion, I was very confused. Later, when I arrived in the Eternal Heaven Realm and met the Dragon Emperor, the way he looked at me and the words he said to me were all quite… uh, nothing special.” Yun Che stopped talking.
“You have been in the Forbidden Land of Samsara for only a short year. How could you understand Senior Shen Xi so well?” Xia Qingyue said meaningfully.
“It’s not that easy to understand a woman.” Yun Che curled his lips, hinting, “These are just some of her basic habits and principles.”
"I can only focus on Senior Jie Yuan now and cannot be distracted for the time being. Before going to the Dragon God Realm to find her, I think it is necessary to know more about some things, otherwise I might... um..."
“Why are you so cautious and hesitant? It seems like you are still trying to hide something?” Xia Qingyue’s beautiful eyes flickered with a strange light: “Could it be that you have some difficulties in the Dragon God Realm that are not well known to others?”
“No, no, no!” Yun Che shook his head quickly: “It’s just some of my own affairs. I will handle it myself.”
The matter between him and Shen Xi was too taboo. Even Xia Qingyue and Mu Xuanyin would never dare to let them know even a little bit.
Xia Qingyue’s thoughts were frighteningly meticulous. Yun Che was afraid that if he continued talking, she would suddenly notice something, so he forcibly changed the subject: “By the way, I’ve always wanted to ask… what is that thing you’re wearing around your neck?”
“…” Xia Qingyue’s eyes were fixed, but she did not answer.
Yun Che had only asked casually to change the subject, but Xia Qingyue’s reaction immediately piqued his interest. He leaned forward and said, “What on earth is this? I’ve never seen you wear anything like this before, but you actually wore it right next to your body. You didn’t even take it off when you were having sex with Qianye Fantian… Could it be that some man gave it to you?”
“Childish!” Xia Qingyue snorted, brushing her fingers across her snow-white neck and directly taking off the round mirror that had been hanging around her neck: “Look if you want.”
Yun Che reached out and took it, took a look, and asked in confusion: “It looks like it’s just an ordinary bronze mirror, why are you wearing this?”
“This is a relic my mother left me.” Xia Qingyue said, “It contains images of my father, Yuanba and my childhood. It is also the only thing my mother secretly took away when she left my father.”
Yun Che had already learned about the ending of Yue Wuya and Yue Wugou from Mu Xuanyin. Xia Qingyue’s words made his expression stiffen slightly. The bronze mirror in his hand also became heavier, and even his movements became cautious: “I see… Then can I open it and take a look?”
“Whatever you want.” Xia Qingyue said.
Yun Che stretched out his hand and moved the bronze mirror slightly. Under the mirror, a shadow about three inches long was engraved. In the shadow was a man about thirty years old and a young boy and girl who were only three or four years old.
Yun Che saw at a glance that the man was Xia Hongyi when he was young. Compared to his current calm and elegant appearance, the man in the mysterious shadow had a bright smile and was full of vigor and vitality.
The girl is delicate and pretty, and although she is young, she has already developed beauty.
The boy was slightly smaller than the girl, but his body was not in line with his age. Although he was only three years old, he could almost be described as "robust".
“Qingyue, you were so cute when you were little.” Yun Che said with a smile. His childhood memories had long been blurred, and after that, until he got married at the age of sixteen, he rarely saw Xia Qingyue. Therefore, even though they lived in the same city and had been engaged since childhood, Yun Che did not have a very clear impression of Xia Qingyue before the age of sixteen.
"As for Yuanba...it seems that not only when you grow up, but even when you were so young, you two didn't look like a pair of siblings when standing together."
Xia Qingyue: “…”
Yun Che raised his head and said, “Your mother has been secretly keeping this bronze mirror, which means…”
“Alright, stop talking.” Xia Qingyue interrupted what he was about to say: “I don’t want to hear it.”
Yun Che stopped talking and lowered his eyes. Just as he was about to close the bronze mirror, his brows suddenly jumped.
The mysterious shadow in the bronze mirror... Xia Hongyi remained unchanged. Next to him was a skinny, childish boy.
Only these two figures were left. There was no Xia Yuanba, who had been unusually strong since childhood, and there was no trace of Xia Qingyue.
His brows suddenly darkened and he shook his head violently. As his eyes became slightly blurred, his gaze focused again and the shadows in his sight had returned to normal. They were Xia Hongyi as a young man, Xia Yuanba and Xia Qingyue as children.
It must have been an illusion just now.
“What’s wrong?” Yun Che’s expression changed, and he suddenly shook his head. Xia Qingyue asked in doubt.
"Uh, it's okay. It's probably because I consumed too much my profound energy, so I was a little dazed just now."
As Yun Che spoke, he carefully closed the bronze mirror and handed it back to Xia Qingyue: “Your mother is my mother-in-law, but I have never been able to meet her. This is also a big regret of mine. I hope she can be free from worries and injuries in the other world.”
Xia Qingyue took the bronze mirror and put it on her snow-white neck again... She had never taken it off in the past few years.
…………
Brahma God Realm.
The words Xia Qingyue said before she left were obviously meaningful, but they really planted a poisonous thorn in Qianye Fantian's heart, and he couldn't ignore or forget it.
If one is infected with the God-killing Absolute Death Poison after being entangled with the evil infant's demonic energy... will there really be some kind of abnormal change that is enough to kill the God Emperor? No one knows, because it has never happened in the world, and this unknown is also the most frightening.
Moreover, the "eternal calamity" caused by the poison of the Sky Poison Pearl and the abnormal transformation of the Evil Infant's magic power are the four most terrifying words in the history of Chaos.
Therefore, even though Qianye Fantian knew that Xia Qingyue's actions were likely to have ulterior motives, he still remembered every word she said and was uneasy for a long time... However, he didn't know that a terrible demon had been planted in his body.
When the poison bead regained its poison spirit that day, it not only meant that its toxicity recovered quickly, but the special natural poison derived from it also had life and consciousness.
The controllers of life and consciousness are naturally He Ling and Yun Che.
All the Heavenly Poisons were silently hidden in the evil infant's demonic energy in Qianye Fantian's body, and were to take effect after three hours... If it was three hours, then it would be three hours!
Three hours later, Yun Che and Xia Qingyue had not yet arrived at the Moon God Realm. Qianye Fantian, who was sitting in meditation in the temple, suddenly trembled all over, opened his eyes abruptly, and his aura was in chaos.
In front of the temple, the Ninth Brahma King who was guarding there suddenly turned around, his heart beating suddenly. He hadn't felt such a drastic change in Qianye Brahma's aura for many years, and quickly asked: "God Emperor, what's wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qianye Fantian's body shook again and he lunged forward fiercely. A cloud of dark smoke burst out from his body, and in the blink of an eye, a layer of dark evil covered his face. A soul-piercing coldness spread throughout the hall at an extremely fast speed.
“This is…” The Ninth Brahma King’s expression suddenly changed: “Demonic energy erupting? Didn’t Yun Che purify it just a few hours ago? How could this happen…”
Not only was the demonic energy erupting, but it also seemed to be more violent than any previous one!
Before he finished speaking, his pupils suddenly contracted... After the black air, a ball of strange green light suddenly exploded from Qianye Fantian's body.
Qianye Fantian's expression also became extremely painful and ferocious at this time.
All the power of the natural poison erupted in his body. At that moment, it was as if a dark green demon suddenly awakened, causing the dormant dark demon to wake up in an extremely frenzied manner.
"Poison...it's poison! Ugh!"
At the level of a God Emperor, one should be immune to all evil and fearless of all poisons. However, Qianye Fantian's face was twisted like a demon. He screamed in great pain and suddenly fell to his knees. His whole body trembled and he couldn't stand up for a long time.
The aura on his body was so chaotic that it was unbelievable to the Ninth Brahma King... The madly running power of the God Emperor could not suppress the black light running wild on his body, let alone the strange, yet soul-chilling green light.
