Jasmine waved her little hand again, and set up a thick soundproof barrier around her.
Yuluo did not approach them, nor did she try to use her consciousness to penetrate the barrier to listen to what they had to say. She lowered her eyes, squinted her eyes, and leisurely played with her hair. Her hair was originally black, but under the sunlight, it faintly flowed with a strange dark green luster.
“Yun Che,” Jasmine’s voice was very calm and peaceful, even a little indifferent: “I originally wanted to stay here for another twenty-four years, and then return to that world, but… God doesn’t give me what I want, so I have to leave today.”
She didn't say going back "home", but returning to "that world". This casual remark seemed to indicate that in her subconscious, this was the place that belonged to her, and that place had become the outside world.
Yun Che stared at her steadily. Compared to Jasmine’s calmness, his eyes and voice were extremely bitter: “Are you sure… you want to leave?”
Jasmine was not from this world, but belonged to another completely different world, another dimension. After she got rid of the magic poison and rebuilt her body, he realized that he would lose her. However, this day came too suddenly.
Not long ago, she had just promised him that she would stay by his side for at least twenty-four years...
“If I force myself to stay, that person might come here in person, and he will most likely vent his anger on this world,” Jasmine said calmly, “Whether it’s the Profound Sky Continent or the Illusory Demon Realm, it would be easy for him to completely destroy them.”
“That person?” Yun Che muttered absentmindedly. Jasmine’s words and decision all indicated that the “that person” she was talking about, or the “my king” in Yuluo’s words, must be someone more powerful than her. Jasmine was only less than 10% of her state, but she was so powerful that it was incomprehensible. If the “that person” in Jasmine’s words wanted to destroy the entire Profound Sky Continent, it might really only take a snap of a finger.
Jasmine's eyes slightly tilted, and in an instant, a faint coldness condensed in her pupils: "He is my biological father, and the person I hate the most. One of the reasons why I don't want to go back is that I don't want to see his face that makes me hate and disgust him!"
Yun Che: “…”
“Hu…” Yun Che sighed helplessly, and said in a somewhat lost tone: “It’s better to go back. After all, that’s your home. You’ve been away from home for seven years, and it’s time to go back. Although I don’t want you to leave, but… I can’t use my selfishness to force you to stay in this world that doesn’t belong to you. I don’t know why there is such a big gap between you and your father, but he is your relative after all. From what that Yu Luo said, I can also hear that after he knew you were not dead, he has been asking people to look for you all these years, which means that he has at least been concerned about you all the time.”
Yun Che’s words did not reduce the coldness in Jasmine’s eyes in the slightest. She simply said coldly, “You won’t understand.”
Without arguing or explaining, Jasmine suddenly raised her right hand. The tip of her index finger flashed red light, and then she gently tapped the area between Yun Che’s eyebrows until she saw the red light disappear into the area between Yun Che’s eyebrows.
"This memory fragment contains some words that I cannot tell you face to face." Jasmine's tender face remained indifferent, but her eyes were slightly evasive: "After twelve hours, the seal of this memory fragment will be automatically unlocked. Then, you will know what I want to tell you."
“There’s more.” Without giving Yun Che a chance to ask, Jasmine immediately continued, “This morning, when I sensed the breath of the Prison Rose, I had the realization I had now. So, I gave something to Hong’er, and then Hong’er took it to the Sky Poison Pearl. After I left, you took it from Hong’er… Although it can’t increase your cultivation by much, it can at least extend your lifespan by several thousand years.”
"What you left for me is..."
“No need to ask, you will know when the time comes.” Jasmine raised her head slightly and looked into the distance. “Today, there are too many outsiders present…including the so-called Four Holy Lands. After I leave, without my presence, they will definitely change their attitude and deal with you. It’s not just because of the Samsara Mirror on you. They will also take revenge on you for the sanctions and humiliations I imposed on them that day—especially Mighty Heavenly Sword Region and Sun Moon Divine Hall. Without my deterrence, they will definitely not allow you, a future threat, to continue to stay in the world.”
"I know." Yun Che said softly. Compared to Jasmine's impending departure, all of this was nothing to him.
“I thought about taking direct action and killing them all, so that no one in this world can threaten you anymore.” Jasmine shook her head slightly: “But, they are known as holy places in the Profound Sky Continent after all. If I kill them, all the sins will be placed on you. And with your personality, you wouldn’t want me to do that.”
“That day in the Supreme Ocean Palace, you forgave Huangji Wuyu and Qu Fengyi. If they have any sense of shame, they will not attack me again.” Yun Che said softly: “As for Tianwei Sword Region and Sun Moon Divine Hall, I have promised you that I will seek revenge on them with my own strength, instead of relying on your power. Even without your protection, they can’t do anything to me.”
“Moreover, even if the Imperial Sacred Domain and the Supreme Ocean Palace target me again like they did twenty days ago, I am not afraid! At worst, I can use the Primordial Profound Ark to bring Grandpa and the others, as well as the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace back to the Illusory Demon Realm. One day, I will make them regret it to death! Therefore, they are not worthy of you taking action, and you don’t need to worry about me at all.”
“I’m not worried about you.” Jasmine said calmly, “Although your current strength is far from enough, if you were defeated so easily, you wouldn’t be alive now. I just hope that the Royal Holy Land and the Supreme Ocean Palace won’t repeat their stupidity again!”
"I will not kill these people. If they are sensible, that's the best. If not, I will leave it to you to punish them personally, so that you won't be lazy and lonely. However, if they choose not to appreciate my kindness... at least in the next few years after I leave, before you are absolutely sure, you should stay out of the spotlight and don't rush to seek death."
“I know.” Yun Che nodded heavily.
“Compared to the threats from the Four Sacred Grounds…” Jasmine’s eyes darkened slightly: “What I’m really worried about is the Devil Origin Pearl in your body.”
"Now that you have recovered your strength, you can barely seal it with your own profound strength, but the frequency is much higher than if I were to seal it. If it can remain as it is, it's fine, but I'm afraid it will mutate in the future... After all, it's something at the level of a demon god, and it's already connected to your profound veins."
“Don’t worry.” Yun Che forced a smile: “My luck has always been good.”
“If anything unexpected happens, we can go to the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley and look for the Golden Crow Spirit.” This was the only method Jasmine could think of. “After all, it carries a part of the Golden Crow Spirit’s will and memory, and has a wide range of knowledge. Perhaps it will be able to find a solution.”
“Yes, I know.” Yun Che nodded again, his eyes unable to control the bitterness. Every word and every sentence of Jasmine’s was a worry, warning, and arrangement for his future.
Between the two of them, many things have become habits without them realizing it.
"There are two more things you need to remember." Jasmine glanced at Yuluo and found that she was caressing her shoulders with her slender hands, seeming to be enjoying herself and not paying any attention to this side: "First, you must treat Hong'er well. Although she may sometimes act like a spoiled child, willful, and rebellious, she is a simple-minded person, especially you. After I leave, you will be the only one left in her world, so you must not bully her."
“Well, I will treat her well… and,” Yun Che tried to smile, “I don’t dare to bully her.”
"The second thing... is what you promised me before, never try to explore the bottom of Jueyun Cliff."
“Don’t worry, I will definitely not go near that place.” Yun Che nodded gently: “You said that the power in the Ancient Profound Ark is only enough for me to travel to and from Cang Yun Continent once. After I go there, I will bring Ling’er back. Apart from Ling’er, there is nothing else in Cang Yun Continent that I care about. After that, perhaps I will never go back there again.”
“Yes.” Jasmine responded softly, then turned around: “Yun Che…goodbye.”
Ping! !
The soundproof barrier was broken, and Jasmine slowly took off into the air, flying towards where Yuluo was.
“Jasmine!!” Yun Che took a step forward, but after only one step, he stopped firmly and shouted with a voice filled with endless emotion and determination: “Go back peacefully. One day… one day I will find you! In order to see you again, I will not slack off for even a single day! We will definitely meet again.”
Jasmine stopped in mid-air and remained motionless. After a long while, she turned around and faced Yun Che. However, her expression was not one of excitement, but one of icy coldness that almost froze Yun Che’s soul.
“Yun Che, you and I are a master and disciple after all.” Jasmine’s eyes were filled with a coldness that made Yun Che suffocate: “If you still respect me as your master, then agree to one last thing for me!”
“…” Jasmine’s look made Yun Che deeply confused and uneasy. He could only nod gently: “No matter what it is, as long as it’s your words, I will agree.”
“Okay!” Jasmine nodded slightly, her voice cold and heartless: “I want you to swear immediately that you will never step into the realm of the gods for the rest of your life!”
"Oh?" Yuluo glanced at her sideways, her fingers still gently stroking the long hair on her shoulders, looking very interested.
“Ah…” Yun Che was stunned and asked in a lost voice: “Why?”
“Because that’s not the place you should go!” Jasmine said coldly, “With your talent, understanding, and everything you have now, it won’t be long before you are invincible in this world. You can dominate your whole life and live in peace. Nothing can threaten you and the people you want to protect. This is also the reason why you pursued the profound way and chose the heavy sword. If you were to reach the realm of the gods, you would only be a lowly weakling! Anyone could easily kill you without a burial place!”
“I want to go there because I want to see you again, not to cultivate in a higher level world, and certainly not to take risks!” Yun Che said loudly.
"Looking for me? Why are you looking for me?" Jasmine turned her eyes to the side, her voice still cold and ruthless: "After I leave, you still have Hong'er by your side all the time, you still have family, friends, and so many women! What big difference does it make whether I am here or not?"
"It's different! Jasmine, you are..."
“No need to waste your words!” Jasmine turned around again and said, “It seems that you don’t want to agree. When we parted ways as master and disciple, you refused to listen to my last words. I am so disappointed. Well, forget it. It’s up to you. With your talent, maybe in a few hundred or a few thousand years, you may have the ability to go to the God Realm. But even if you can enter the God Realm, you will not be able to find me.”
"Let's take a step back. Even if you can find me... I will never see you!"
"After all, I am just an unexpected passer-by in your life, and you are the same to me. Our fate has ended here! Stop being so sentimental!"
After the merciless voice fell, Jasmine dodged and teleported to the side of Yuluo, and said coldly: “Yuluo, go!”
Chi! !
The space was torn apart, and Jasmine had completely disappeared.
“Oh my.” Looking at Yun Che who was standing there in a daze, as if he had lost his soul, Yu Luo’s hand finally slid down from her long hair.
As her fingers left, a strand of hair slowly fell from her fingertips and landed lightly on the ground below.
A breeze blew, and the dust drifted away, but the hair that fell on the ground did not move at all, and faintly flashed a strange green luster.
“Goodbye, little brother.” Yu Luo cast a charming look at Yun Che, and then said something extremely strange: “In order to thank you for taking care of Her Royal Highness the Princess for so many years, I specially prepared a small gift for you. Please enjoy it.”
“Chuck, chuck, chuck…”
Amidst the charming laughter, Yuluo's voice disappeared into the void like mist.
