Three years had passed since she arrived in the Abyss, and Qianye Ying'er's heart, which had been gradually calming, was once again in turmoil. This time, it wasn't because of jealousy with Yun Che's other female friends, but rather, as the day of returning to the God Realm drew near, the secrets hidden in her heart began to surge.
She had never mentioned the Evil Infant's return to Yun Che, because she didn't want Yun Che's heart, which had finally been put at ease, to be weighed down again.
"There are still two years left. When I return to the God Realm, it will be the day of her return. When should I tell him this news..." Qianye Ying'er sat alone by the lake, lost in thought.
After these years of settling down, she no longer felt as disgusted with the people of the abyss as before, but gradually began to accept everything here.
"Forget it. Instead of worrying alone, I might as well find someone to share my worries with." Qianye Ying'er's eyes turned and looked in the direction of the Eternal Night Temple.
In this world of the abyss, the only person Qianye Ying'er could truly trust, besides Yun Che, was Xia Qingyue. Xia Qingyue was incredibly intelligent, possessing a heart as pure as ice and snow. Discussing this matter with her was undoubtedly the best choice.
Qianye Ying'er stood up and walked slowly along the winding path towards the Temple of Eternal Night. Along the way, the breeze gently blew her hair and stirred her complicated emotions.
…
Stepping into the Temple of Eternal Night, Xia Qingyue's cold figure came into Qianye Ying'er's sight. She saw frost raging on Xia Qingyue's face, just as before.
The first time Xia Qingyue saw Qianye Ying'er, her eyebrows raised slightly, her eyes filled with wariness and alienation. She said in a cold tone, "I told you long ago that even if we were to settle our grievances, we would never be friends. How dare you still come to me?"
“Oh, do you think I’m happy to see you?” Qianye Ying’er refused to be outdone. She crossed her arms around her shoulders, twisted her head, and turned away proudly, deliberately avoiding Xia Qingyue’s gaze. Her face was filled with reluctance.
"I'll give you one chance to speak. If there's nothing else, you can leave." Xia Qingyue snorted coldly, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes. She turned slightly to the side, as if ready to order him to leave at any moment.
"Do you still remember the Evil Infant?" Qianye Ying'er knew that time was running out, so she stopped beating around the bush and her expression instantly became serious.
"Evil Infant?" Xia Qingyue frowned. The scene of the Evil Infant's emergence instantly brought back sad memories. Especially the scene where Yue Wuya was severely injured by Jasmine, who had transformed into the Evil Infant. It was still vivid in her mind, leaving a deep impression on her.
"That's right. The Evil Infant didn't perish after being driven out of the Primal Chaos. Now, her power is countless times greater than before. The last time she appeared, she actually broke through a small piece of the Primal Chaos Wall. The evil aura emanating from her body was so strong that it was frightening." Qianye Ying'er spoke seriously, emphasizing each word, her eyes revealing deep worry.
"The real reason I came to the Abyss is because Jasmine, the Heavenly Slaughter Star God incarnated as the Evil Infant, is hell-bent on taking my life. With my Divine Lord cultivation, I can't withstand a single blow from her. With no other choice, I had no choice but to risk entering this abyssal world," Qianye Ying'er said with lingering fear. "What's certain is that Jasmine's will still exists, though it's extremely weak. Perhaps when she truly returns, she'll completely transform into the terrifying Evil Infant that once ended the Age of Gods and Demons."
Xia Qingyue was silent for a long moment before she slowly spoke, "You mean, you haven't told Yun Che about this yet, and you want to ask for my opinion first?"
"That's right. Apart from Yun Che, the only person I can trust in this world is you." Qianye Ying'er said without hesitation.
"According to your perception, what realm is the Evil Infant currently in?" Xia Qingyue's expression grew increasingly serious, her gaze fixed on Qianye Ying'er.
"The power she exudes is definitely at the level of a True God, but I cannot discern her specific realm. I was once fortunate enough to be summoned by the Priest of Ten Thousand Paths, and I am certain that the Evil Infant today does not possess the same suffocating oppressive power as the Priest of Ten Thousand Paths," Qianye Ying'er answered truthfully.
The Priest Wan Dao was an ancestor of the Brahma God clan. The golden Brahma light on Qianye Ying'er touched him deeply. He had thought that there were no descendants of the Brahma God in this world, but he didn't expect to see them again.
"You just mentioned the Evil Infant's 'last appearance'. Does that mean she had appeared before this?" Xia Qingyue keenly grasped the key information.
"That's right. Shortly after Yun Che entered the Abyss, a terrifying wave of sound suddenly erupted from the spot where the Evil Infant had been knocked out of the Wall of Chaos by old dog Zhou Tian. It shook the surrounding space, sending ripples through it. I was nearby at the time, and that feeling of fear is still etched in my memory. Since then, the Evil Infant seems to be gathering strength, and every six months, this terrifying wave of sound appears."
"Until the third time, she actually managed to break through a small piece of the Chaos Wall, and that powerful dark force directly surged into the God Realm." Qianye Ying'er confessed everything she knew without reservation. Recalling the scene at that time, her face still had a solemn look.
"The Evil Infant is the only being in this world unconstrained by the laws of chaos. If we allow it to grow, it might indeed surpass the boundaries of a True God. However, according to what you said, next time she should at most reach the realm of a Higher True God." Xia Qingyue pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly, "Rather than telling Yun Che now and causing him unnecessary trouble, it would be better to wait until we return to the God Realm together. By then, the Evil Infant should have just appeared. However..."
Xia Qingyue's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a deep sense of helplessness and entanglement. She knew Yun Che too well, and knew that with his temperament, even if Jasmine truly became an evil infant that brought disaster to the world, he would never be so cruel as to personally kill his former love...
"If the Evil Infant truly wreaks havoc on the world, I believe he will make the right decision, even if it's a bit too cruel for him..." Qianye Ying'er lowered her head and whispered, "Returning with us are Abyssal Emperor Mo Su and several great priests, plus Yun Che. Their power is strong enough to shake the entire world. If Yun Che truly can't bring himself to take action, then Mo Su will have to take action."
“Perhaps, in the end, Yun Che will have to make this difficult decision himself. This is fate’s irresistible arrangement.” Xia Qingyue raised her head slightly, looked into the void, and murmured softly, her tone filled with emotion about the fickleness of fate.
As the topic progressed, Qianye Ying'er's originally solemn expression gradually began to dissipate, replaced by a hint of sly and playful expression.
She blinked, then looked at Xia Qingyue with a hint of teasing in her eyes. She slowly said, "Xia Qingyue, I have to say, coming to you to discuss this matter was an incredibly correct decision. You truly possess a unique charm. However—"
Qianye Ying'er deliberately dragged out her tone, "It's my turn now, Yun Che. For three whole years, he's been ruthlessly bound by you. Even seeing him has become a luxury for me. The punishment I promised you should have expired by now."
Xia Qingyue raised her chin slightly, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. With a condescending attitude, she looked down at Qianye Ying'er coldly, "That depends on your own ability. I never stopped Yun Che from looking for you."
Qianye Ying'er showed no sign of weakness. She snorted softly, her eyes filled with confidence and uninhibitedness. She looked back at Xia Qingyue calmly and said disapprovingly, "Hmph, even if you capture Yun Che's body, you can't imprison his heart. When it comes to controlling men, I have many more methods than you."
