Many things that were unintentionally ignored and never taken seriously would become particularly heartbreaking when Chi Wuyao mentioned them.
Looking back at her memories, Xia Qingyue had actually never visited Xia Hongyi since she entered Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace at the age of sixteen.
It's not like she had never left Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. She had participated in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament and attended his wedding ceremony with Cang Yue... Because of her special status in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, she had a great deal of freedom.
In her memory, she couldn't even find any scene of her talking to Xia Hongyi, or any similar scenes.
She pursued the mysterious way for the lost family affection, so why was she so indifferent and heartless to her own biological father?
Could it be that she had been pretending from the very beginning? Even the reason why she devoted everything to pursuing the mysterious way was a lie?
“It seems that you also find it very strange, right?” Chi Wuyao watched the changes in Yun Che’s expression.
“It doesn’t matter. Perhaps, everything she showed was fake.” Yun Che forced himself not to think about it anymore, and suddenly asked, “Did you read Uncle Xia’s memory just now?”
Chi Wuyao raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Oh, you found out as expected."
With Chi Wuyao’s terrifying demon soul, it would be extremely easy for her to read the memory of a mortal from the lower realms. Not even a trace would be left behind.
The reason why she quietly read Xia Hongyi's memory was because of all the weirdness, which made her doubt whether Xia Qingyue was Xia Hongyi's biological daughter.
For example, when Xia Hongyi picked up Yue Wugou, she was actually pregnant... and all of this was concealed by Xia Hongyi, and later known by Xia Qingyue.
Only this can explain all this.
But the result disappointed her greatly.
In Xia Hongyi's memory, Yue Wugou, whom he named "Dongxue", was still a virgin when she gave herself to him.
Xia Qingyue was indeed his biological daughter with Yue Wugou.
This result undoubtedly made her even more confused.
There is another rather strange thing.
Although they have been separated for more than 30 years, Xia Hongyi's memories of Dongxue (Yue Wugou) are extremely clear and profound.
But the memories of his daughter Xia Qingyue were inexplicably simple, sparse and vague.
The same was true for Xia Yuanba, but it was not as serious as Xia Qingyue's.
At the same time, she clearly sensed a sense of disharmony from Xia Hongyi's memory.
Chi Wuyao was undoubtedly the person with the strongest soul power in the world. However, with her Nirvana Devil Soul, which was at a level that surpassed everything in the world, she was unable to detect what this sense of disharmony was.
“With your personality, you would not do such a thing unless it is absolutely necessary.” Yun Che looked helpless. Chi Wuyao was really amazingly persistent about this matter.
“Your Majesty, I know I was wrong.” Chi Wuyao lowered her charming eyes slightly, looking timid as if she had done something wrong, but her eyes were wandering and blurred. Her suddenly softened Mo Yin instantly melted her bones and marrow: “If Your Majesty blames me, then I… will serve you and Xuan Yin together later to make amends, okay?”
Yun Che’s eyes instantly widened, and he turned his head away with a “whoosh”. The blood that instantly surged up in his eyes directly reflected red in his pupils: “You said this, you are not allowed to regret it!!”
“Hehe!” Chi Wuyao smiled charmingly, exhaling a faint orchid scent: “To deal with Xiao Xuanyin, I have hundreds of ways, for example, her…”
The Black Moon Chamber of Commerce's teleportation array ahead suddenly flashed with white light, and two figures walked out side by side.
Chi Wuyao stopped talking immediately, smiling broadly.
“(╰_╯)#” Yun Che looked at the two uninvited people with a bad face… and they were two acquaintances.
The Lord of the Black Moon, Zi Ji, and the Sea Emperor of the former Supreme Ocean Palace - Qu Fengyi.
Seeing Yun Che, Zi Ji was startled for a moment, then he slowly bowed and said, “Zi Ji pays respect to Master Yun. Master Yun’s venerable presence brings endless glory to the Black Moon.”
After not seeing each other for many years, Zi Ji was still wearing the same purple robe, but he looked less old, and his eyes, which were full of wisdom, had lost their sharpness and depth, becoming exceptionally elegant and peaceful.
And Qu Fengyi beside her...
Qu Fengyi followed Zi Ji in bowing, but soon she raised her head slightly and quietly looked at Yun Che. There was awe and curiosity in her eyes, but there was no fear, and there was no trace of the dominance of the Supreme Sea Emperor in the past.
Sensing the strangeness in Yun Che’s gaze, Zi Ji said, “As Master Yun has seen, my wife is no longer the Sea Emperor of the past. After she recovered from her injuries, she sealed her own memories, and also sealed away all the glory, disgrace, sorrow, joy, gratitude, grudges, and right and wrong of the past.”
“I see.” Yun Che responded calmly.
Qu Fengyi bowed deeply and said, "Although I have no memory of the past, Master Yun's grace of forgiving and saving my life has been taught to me by my husband. I will never forget it for the rest of my life."
As she spoke, her body naturally leaned against Ziji, a kind of affinity and dependence that came from the heart and soul.
Zi Ji glanced at his wife beside him, his eyes were soft and gentle with almost overflowing doting: "But these years, it is actually the happiest and most peaceful time for us as a couple. I have never seen her so carefree, so happy and angry. Even I don't want to go back to the past. Whether it's the Supreme Ocean Palace or the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, their future and destination are not that important at all."
Zi Ji smiled faintly, and his smile was particularly relaxed and relieved: "Sometimes, I would secretly sigh that after working hard for half a lifetime, looking back, what I wanted turned out to be so simple."
Yun Che nodded: “This is naturally a blessing. However, if Mr. Zi and the Sea Emperor were gone, the Profound Sky Continent would lose two legends, which would be a pity.”
“Hahaha,” Zi Ji laughed lightly: “As long as Yun Che is in the world, there will be no more legends.”
Of the four sacred places in the past of Profound Sky Continent, the Sun Moon Palace and the Mighty Heavenly Sword Domain were destroyed, the Imperial Sacred Domain was controlled by Xia Yuanba, and the Supreme Ocean Palace entered semi-hiding.
Perhaps it won’t be long before the only holy places left in the Profound Sky Continent are the Royal Holy Land, Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, and Phoenix Divine Sect.
"It seems like a sad ending?"
After leaving the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, Chi Wuyao said softly.
“It’s not really a sigh, but it does make people feel a little emotional.” Yun Che said: “Some people… or it can be said that a considerable number of people, do not know what they really want until they die.”
“Then tell me, what does Xia Qingyue really want from all that she has done?” Chi Wuyao turned her eyes and asked.
"..." Yun Che gave her a dull look.
“How long do you plan to stay on Blue Pole Star?” Chi Wuyao stopped teasing him and asked with a smile.
Yun Che didn’t even think about it: “A long time. After a while, Xuanyin, Meiyin, Caizhi and the others will also come… Let Jiexin and Jieling come as well. They should meet my parents after all.”
Yun Che pressed his nose with his hand and said in a lower voice, “I don’t know what’s in Wuxin’s mood. He always wants to see them.”
Chi Wuyao smiled meaningfully, “What about the Azure Dragon Emperor and Cang Shu’ao? They were also made public by you and were crowned as imperial concubines. Aren’t you going to bring them to meet our father and mother?”
“They?” Yun Che saw that Chi Wuyao’s expression was not one of joking: “Forget it.”
Chi Wuyao said, “Even if it’s just a ‘false reputation’, it should be maintained to some extent. After all, the Azure Dragon Emperor is related to the stability of the Western Region, and Cang Shuyi is related to the balance of the Southern Region.”
"Especially Cang Shu'an. She is the only one who can turn Cang Shitian, a loyal dog, into a vicious dog."
“Evil dog?” Yun Che sneered, “Then just trample him to death.”
“It’s easy to step on him to death, but it’s not that easy to train another loyal dog as obedient and useful as him.” Chi Wuyao looked worried, otherwise she would have already begun to worry about this situation happening.
“Okay, okay,” Yun Che said in defeat: “Although I won’t bring them to see my parents, I will go to see them occasionally. Wu Xin just happened to want me to take her to the God Realm to have a look. When we pass through the Southern Region and the Western Region, I will stop by.”
“My Lord,” Chi Wuyao exhaled softly, “Do you want me to help you write the word ‘perfunctory’ on your face?”
“…I’ll go check on Caiyi.” Yun Che pretended to run away.
“Cai Yi? The petite little demon queen who looked like a white jade doll?” Chi Wuyao raised her eyebrows. “You just came back, and all your wives, concubines and beauties want to melt into your arms, but you want to favor only her?”
Yun Che said with a serious face: “Cai Yi looks cute and petite, but in fact, she has a violent and stubborn temper. Over the years... she must have been holding back a lot of anger. The elders Wu Xin and the others are here these days, so she can’t lose her temper. If I don’t rush over and let her beat her up, I’m afraid that Cai Yi will get hurt.”
“Beat him violently?” Chi Wuyao gave him a coquettish and angry look, “You really need to be careful. It would be such a shame if you broke the bed.”
“Ahem. I’ll go first.” Yun Che stretched out his hand and tore open the space, following the Little Demon Queen’s aura.
After Yun Che left for a long time, Chi Wuyao sighed faintly: “Alas, do you really think I am a woman who will not get jealous at all?”
The place where her spiritual consciousness was released and finally stopped was a place of ice and snow.
There was Xia Qingyue’s former master’s sect, and there was Xia Qingyue’s former master—Chu Yueli.
After the conversation with Chu Yuechan last night and the confrontation with Xia Hongyi today, she found it even more difficult to let go.
Even... I feel a little uneasy for some reason.
————
In the north of Cangfeng Nation, in the Ice Extreme Snow Region, in the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace.
"Thank you for letting me know."
The information she got from Chu Yueli was not much different from that from Chu Yuechan. Facing Chu Yueli, she asked another question:
“I want to go and see Xia Qingyue’s former residence and the place where she practiced.”
Chu Yueli shook her head and said, "This cannot be done."
"Why?"
Chu Yueli turned her body to face the Ice Cloud Palace carved out of ice and snow: “The Ice Cloud Palace you see now is not the original Ice Cloud Palace. The Ice Cloud Palace back then was completely destroyed in the battle between Xuanyuan Wentian and the Little Demon Queen, and there is almost no trace left.”①
“The current Ice Cloud Immortal Palace was rebuilt by us after Palace Master Yun defeated Xuanyuan Wentian. Therefore, the Ice Palace where Qingyue once lived is no longer in it.”
“No trace left…” Chi Wuyao muttered, “Not only the residence and the place of cultivation, but nothing at all left behind?”
Chu Yueli nodded somewhat dejectedly.
“That’s such a pity.” Chi Wuyao whispered.
Not long after, Chi Wuyao had returned to Floating Cloud City, but she did not land in the Xiao Clan, but in a courtyard that had been empty for a long time.
The Xia family of Liuyun City, where Xia Qingyue and Xia Yuanba were born and raised.
After Xia Hongyi left for the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, this place had been empty. All year round, there were only one or two middle-aged servants who had followed Xia Hongyi in his early years to look after the courtyard.
Suddenly seeing a shadow in the air, the idle servant was startled and shouted: "You..."
His voice suddenly stopped, and the expression on his face quickly slowed down until it became dull.
Chi Wuyao slowly approached, glanced around, and said, “Tell me, which boudoir was Xia Qingyue’s in the past?”
The servant raised his hand stupidly and pointed to the innermost bedroom.
Chi Wuyao’s figure flashed by, and without opening the door, she appeared directly in the room the servant pointed to.
The large bed was made of fine oak and hung with dark purple curtains.
There were tables and chairs made of the same material, a bronze mirror for dressing, and two cabinets placed tightly together, but the cabinets were empty.
That’s all.
There were no clothes, no washing utensils or tea sets, no jewelry, no cosmetics...there was not even a trace of anyone having ever lived there.
That servant was possessed by her evil spirit, so it was impossible for him to lie... This was the girl's boudoir where Xia Qingyue lived until she was sixteen years old.
When Xia Qingyue got married, did she take everything away... without leaving a single trace?
After leaving the Xia family courtyard, Chi Wuyao floated in the sky where no one could see her, and remained silent for a long, long time.
There was nothing left of her in the land of her birth.
The Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace where she had lived for a long time was destroyed in the battle between the Little Demon Queen and Xuanyuan Wentian, and nothing was left.
The Moon God Realm has been reduced to ashes.
There was no trace of the dead Xia Qingyue in this vast world.
If even her memory is erased, it would be as if she had never existed.
"That's all."
After a long while, Chi Wuyao uttered a weak voice.
"She's already dead. Everything now could not have been a better ending. Why should I continue to have these unnecessary obsessions?"
The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and the vague feeling of uneasiness was rising in my heart...
She gave up.
