After separating from Yun Xi, Yun Che and Shen Xi quietly arrived at the Forbidden Land of Samsara.
“After I personally killed Long Bai, no one has set foot here since. This is where the most beautiful memories that belong only to you and me remain.” Yun Che strolled through the area, his fingers lightly stroking the delicate flowers and plants, a faint smile on his lips, and he was completely immersed in the dreamlike and beautiful scenes of the past.
“I didn’t expect you to still remember this place.” Shen Xi’s tone seemed calm, but as her gaze swept over everything in the Samsara Forbidden Land, especially the bamboo house, a subtle hint of strangeness flashed across her face. “You only stayed here for a short six months back then.”
“‘Strange clouds and chaotic winds sweep the bright smoke, and I sleep with the sun amidst thousands of flowers.’ How could I possibly forget every little detail between you and me? I don’t know exactly how you feel about me, but in my heart, you will always have an irreplaceable place.” Yun Che stared at Shen Xi, his eyes woven with complex emotions.
To this day, he still couldn't guess Shen Xi's true thoughts. Back then, under Shen Xi's guidance, the two of them came together and even developed that kind of intimate relationship. Everything was initiated by Shen Xi, and Yun Che was just a passive accepter.
“I didn’t expect you’d remember this sentence until now…” A complicated expression crossed Shen Xi’s face. Yun Che’s casual words from those days, now heard again many years later, could not help but fill her with emotion.
Intense waves surged in her heart, and Shen Xi had to admit that she, too, had developed feelings for Yun Che. Although their union had initially been a mutually beneficial "transaction," their feelings gradually deepened over time, a true manifestation of the saying "love grows over time."
"It no longer matters how much I miss you. The past is the past. Now we have Xi'er, and she is the best proof of our love." After a long silence, Shen Xi finally revealed the voice from the depths of her heart.
A satisfied smile appeared on Yun Che's face. Shen Xi's words were enough for him. He stopped dwelling on the past and asked, "Shen Xi, how did you recover?"
He had been filled with confusion over Shen Xi's sudden awakening and manifestation. Back in the abyss, Shen Xi had unexpectedly awakened early, and looking back now, many details clearly didn't make sense.
In the present world, the most powerful healing power belonged to Li Suo, but even with Li Suo's divine power of creation, she couldn't awaken Shen Xi early. When even the miracle of life was powerless, there was no way a more powerful healing power could exist in this world. Therefore, Shen Xi's sudden awakening was completely beyond Yun Che's comprehension.
“I’m not entirely sure. I was in a deep sleep at the time, when a voice suddenly reached my mind and soul, forcibly waking me up. After I awoke, I immediately condensed my physical form. But strangely, all my profound energy, including the power of the True God, disappeared, seemingly remaining within the Zhutian Ancestral Sword. Perhaps this is the price I paid for this forced awakening.” Shen Xi shook his head and spoke slowly.
“A voice?” Yun Che frowned. His intuition told him that there must be some unknown secret behind this. However, he simply couldn’t figure out what kind of existence could possess such powerful energy.
"Yes, I'm very familiar with this voice. I've heard it more than once. Back in the Forbidden Land of Samsara, Long Bai learned of Xi'er's existence. Fuming with rage, he unleashed a dragon-like aura that struck me hard in the abdomen..."
Before Shen Xi could finish her words, she was instantly interrupted by Yun Che's sharp voice.
"What did you say!?"
Yun Che's face instantly twisted, and endless rage burned within him. He could never have imagined that Long Bai would actually do such a cruel and inhumane thing back then! He would actually attack Shen Xi!
"Back then, Xi'er's life hung by a thread. I was completely devastated, filled with helplessness. Pain and despair completely overwhelmed me. At that moment, I truly didn't know what to do..." Whenever Shen Xi recalled that nightmare-like scene, waves of unease and palpitations still welled up in her heart. It was the most painful memory of her life, like a deep scar that she simply didn't want to touch again, let alone recall.
"Just when I was filled with despair, feeling that everything was beyond redemption, a voice suddenly rang out in my ears. He merely uttered the three words 'Well of Samsara,' but to me at the time, it felt like grasping at a last straw. In this world, due to the constraints of the laws, I could not mobilize the power of a true god to save Xier. Only by stepping into the Well of Samsara and journeying into that unknown world could I perhaps have a glimmer of hope of saving Xier. So, without the slightest hesitation, I resolutely jumped into the Well of Samsara and arrived in the world of the Abyss." Shen Xi slowly recounted the events of the past, each word seeming to carry endless pain. Even now, recalling it, it still aches in my heart.
“Long!!! Bai!!!” Yun Che’s eyes instantly turned blood red, his entire aura completely disordered, and intense hatred stimulated every nerve in his body. “Back then, I let you, a beast, die too easily!!!”
-----------------
"Yun... Che... do you think... you really... won..."
“Hey… hey… actually… Shen Xi… she…”
-----------------
Yun Che's mind reverberated with the utterly mocking words Long Bai had spoken before his death... Could it be that the Demon Queen had already known something at that moment... That was why she chose to kill Long Bai instantly, preventing him from continuing...
