“You… who are you?”
Mu Tianbei had never thought that one day he would be frightened by a little girl and his whole body would spasm. Jasmine was now only in a half-soul state, and her strength and momentum were not even one ten-thousandth of her normal state, but for Mu Tianbei, it was still a nightmare-like pressure. Although there was only a little girl in front of him who was so beautiful that it was indescribable, he felt as if he had seen the abyss of death, and every part of his body was trembling wildly and uncontrollably.
Jasmine tilted her lips slightly, and raised a cold smile: "This princess has given you the opportunity to choose your own death. Since you are unwilling to choose, then this princess will choose for you... disappear! ! "
Jasmine's little hand gently stroked the air...
Bang!
A slight explosion sounded, but before the sound could travel far, it was completely drowned out by the wind and snow. In this tiny sound, Mu Tianbei's body instantly exploded... or more accurately, it decomposed directly! Decomposed into countless tiny pieces, and then these pieces continued to decompose and decompose again... decomposed into even smaller pieces than sand and dust, until they completely disappeared there, leaving no trace... turned into the most primitive nothingness.
Watching Mu Tianbei disappear before her eyes, Jasmine's face was indifferent. She clasped her hands in front of her chest, and as her palms turned, a strange mysterious formation formed. This mysterious formation spun rapidly and disappeared in her chest, and Jasmine's figure disappeared there as well.
Being chased by Mu Tianbei, Xia Qingyue thought that there was no possibility of escape. She was about to forcefully open the Ice Cloud Domain, but she was shocked to feel that the pressure from Mu Tianbei suddenly disappeared. When she looked back, she could no longer see Mu Tianbei. Although she was surprised, she did not dare to stop for a moment, and she took Yun Che and went farther and farther at a very fast speed... Unknowingly, she had left behind many ice peaks.
Feeling Jasmine coming back, Yun Che immediately asked, “Is it resolved?”
"Do you still think he can escape from me alive?" Jasmine said unhappily.
"...What about Fen Jue City? Did they solve it together?"
"I only said I would help you kill one person. I'm not in the mood to deal with Fen Jue City!"
“Damn… If Fen Juecheng doesn’t die, then Fen Juebi would have been killed in vain! As long as he tells Fen Moli, the whole world will know that I killed Fen Juebi! Then I might as well have killed Fen Juebi myself before that!”
"That's your business, what does it have to do with me?"
“…” Yun Che’s face twitched for a while, and he could only take a deep breath and said helplessly: “Forget it! Where is Mu Tianbei’s body? Is it still in the place where he almost caught up with us before?”
"I've seen him completely disappear from the world. Not even a speck of dust is left, let alone a corpse. What do you want his body for?"
“Damn it!” Yun Che almost jumped up from Xia Qingyue’s body. “Mu Tianbei is the lord of the Sky Spear Thunder Fire Fort! The lord! His space ring must contain a large number of the sect’s treasures, and there might even be some earth-shattering secrets. You actually let him disappear like that! It would be better if you just cut him in half, which would save time and effort! You, you, you, you... you will definitely be a spendthrift woman when you grow up.”
Jasmine snorted coldly and said, "You don't have the ability to kill him yourself. Since you want me to take action, stop talking nonsense!"
“…” Yun Che was speechless.
Looking back, Yun Che could only swallow the idea of turning back and killing Fen Juecheng. In the vast snowy plain, it was impossible to tell the direction. Xia Qingyue had no trace when she ran. Even if there was, it would have been covered by the wind and snow. There was basically no possibility of finding the original way back.
"Now, I have sealed my own profound strength. For a long time to come, my strength will only be used to expel poison, and cannot be released. Even I cannot remove this seal. If you encounter any danger again, you will be on your own." Jasmine said, and her words were definitely not a joke. She sealed her profound strength very seriously. However, this seal does not mean that you cannot use your profound strength, but that you cannot release your profound strength out of your body.
"For the next long time? How long is that?"
"I just casually formed a mysterious sealing formation, and I don't know how long it will last. The shortest is one year, and the longest may be more than ten years!"
“…”
After walking for more than an hour and making sure that Mu Tianbei would not catch up, Xia Qingyue relaxed and fell into the snow with Yun Che.
Yun Che let out a startled “Ah!” and instantly lunged forward, falling on top of Xia Qingyue, hugging her tightly.
After running at full speed for such a long time, Xia Qingyue had consumed most of her profound energy. She stabilized her internal breath, then raised her hand gently and pushed Yun Che away from her body. Her body then stood up, and her breathing gradually became calmer. Her face was even calmer, showing no joy or sadness.
“Get up, don’t pretend. I know your internal injuries haven’t recurred at all.” Looking at Yun Che who was pushed into the snow pile by her, Xia Qingyue said expressionlessly.
Yun Che stood up from the snowdrifts, casually brushed off the snow on his body, and was about to speak when he suddenly froze for a moment... Xia Qingyue had just led him to flee at full speed, and the veil on her face had fallen off at some point, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face in front of him. Her snowy clothes fluttered, and she was bathed in the wind and snow. This kind of grace would probably eclipse even the legendary Snow Girl.
Seeing that he hadn’t spoken for a long time, and instead stared at her face in a daze, Xia Qingyue reached out and stroked her cheek, only then realizing that her veil was gone. She twitched her eyebrows slightly, turned her cheek to the side, and asked calmly, “Fen Juecheng and Fen Juebi wanted to kill you because of Princess Cang Yue, so why did Mu Tianbei want to kill you?”
Apparently, she had heard all the conversations between Yun Che and Fen Juecheng and Fen Juebi. Yun Che came back to his senses, curled his lips slightly, and said, “Mu Tianbei once invited me to join the Sky Spear Thunder Fire Fort, and also mocked the Blue Wind Profound Palace. Then I mocked him back and injured his core disciples, so he held a grudge against me… That’s all.”
Xia Qingyue said softly, “Mu Tianbei is the hegemon of Saibei, and no one dares to provoke him. This kind of person will never tolerate the slightest offense from others. I have also heard from Master that this person has always been arrogant and conceited... You’d better avoid provoking this kind of person in the future.”
“I never take the initiative to provoke anyone, it’s always others who provoke me. It’s just that I’ve never learned to be polite and forbearing to those who provoke me.” Yun Che said indifferently. Looking at Xia Qingyue’s perfect profile, he smiled: “Qingyue, my wife, I’m lucky to have you this time, otherwise I would definitely fall into Mu Tianbei’s hands. But you are my wife, so I won’t thank you... By the way, why were you nearby at that time? You couldn’t have seen that my injury had not healed and you were worried about my safety, so you followed me secretly.”
"I was just passing by."
Xia Qingyue was obviously not good at lying. Her tone and demeanor were very unnatural when she said this. She also looked away, not meeting Yun Che’s gaze. She half turned around and said coldly, “Mu Tianbei must have lost you. It is almost impossible to find you in this secret realm. Your injuries have healed, and your profound strength has recovered by at least 70%. It is enough to protect yourself here. Take care of yourself.”
After saying this, Xia Qingyue's snow-white clothes fluttered as she was about to leave.
“Hey, hey! Wait!” Yun Che hurriedly stepped forward and blocked her way. “You’re not really going to leave, are you? Actually… Actually, all those words I said before were just to scare Fen Juecheng. My injuries haven’t healed at all. At most, they’re only half healed, especially the internal injuries. Now… cough cough… cough cough cough cough… My profound strength has only recovered 30% at most. Really… If, by any chance, I’m found by Fen Juecheng or Mu Tianbei again, and you’re not around to protect me, then I’ll… It doesn’t matter if I die, but I’ll cause you to become a widow. How can I bear this…”
The corners of Xia Qingyue’s beautiful eyebrows twitched noticeably.
"Besides, we are an upright couple. Since we are husband and wife, we should live and die together, share happiness and misfortune together. Now I am plagued by all kinds of troubles. As my wife, shouldn't you fulfill your duties as a wife and take the responsibility of protecting me... Hey, don't go..."
Back when Yun Che’s profound veins were crippled, he often spoke badly to Xia Qingyue, who was totally out of his reach at that time, making her angry and helpless. Now, in terms of strength, Yun Che was not as good as Xia Qingyue, but if they fought desperately, Xia Qingyue would definitely not be able to beat Yun Che, so the two of them were basically evenly matched, and Yun Che naturally had no scruples when talking to Xia Qingyue.
Xia Qingyue didn’t bother to pay attention to what he was saying. She simply walked around him and walked towards the north on the ice and snow. Yun Che stood there and said with resentment, “You won’t…really leave me alone like this, right?”
Xia Qingyue did not answer. After walking a long way, she suddenly stopped and said in a very light voice: “What are you still standing there for? Why don’t you catch up?”
“As you command!” Yun Che’s eyes lit up with a smile, and he quickly caught up to Xia Qingyue’s side with a tap of his foot… He didn’t look like she was still seriously injured at all.
The two headed north and soon disappeared in the wind and snow.
It was impossible for him not to be grateful to Xia Qingyue for appearing to save him. Because the person he faced at that time was Mu Tianbei, a super strong man at the level of a sect leader. Xia Qingyue saved him, and undoubtedly took the risk of dying at the hands of Mu Tianbei with him. And he was also very confused... When he met Xia Qingyue again at Tianjian Villa, he only felt indifference from her, not closeness, not rejection, not indifference, but the kind of indifference that made him extremely uncomfortable.
In the days after the marriage, he tried hard to plant his shadow in Xia Qingyue's heart, but such a long separation was obviously enough to make that shallow shadow completely dissipate from Xia Qingyue's heart. He also thought that in Xia Qingyue's eyes now, he was an ordinary existence that could be there or not, at most tied by a marriage certificate. But Xia Qingyue's following, protecting and rescuing him today made him confused again... He couldn't figure out what position he was in her heart now.
For a man, if there is one thing in this world that he can never understand, it is undoubtedly a woman's heart.
