As Hua Caili had predicted, Yun Che had immediately headed straight for the Zhetian Divine Kingdom after finishing his work on the Pure Land. The scenes leading up to the final battle in the Pure Land still lingered in Yun Che's mind like a haze. At that time, the trust between him and Hua Caili had almost completely dissipated, and their relationship had reached a freezing point.
Because of this, Yun Che was filled with anxiety and just wanted to find Hua Caili as soon as possible, to confess all the misunderstandings and hidden secrets to her, eager to repair the rift between them that should not have existed in the first place.
Yun Che once vowed that if the abyss difficulty could be successfully resolved, then no matter what the cost, he would find Hua Caili again and repair their broken relationship.
“Cai Li, now that everything in the abyss has been settled, I said I would find you and I won’t let you escape from me again. This time, I am willing to tell you everything without reservation, and I only hope that you can forgive my past mistakes.” Yun Che muttered softly to himself as he walked quickly towards the Zhetian Sword Pavilion.
The closer he got to this familiar place, the more nervous he became. Although he was not as extremely uneasy as last time, there was still a hint of fear deep in his heart.
He was afraid, afraid that Hua Caili still could not accept him, afraid that the past hurts had left such deep marks in her heart that she would never be able to forgive herself.
"Lord Yun... Oh, no, Emperor Wu... Eldest sister is... inside, go in by yourself." Hua Lianzhi was so nervous when she saw Yun Che again that she couldn't even speak clearly. In her eyes, Yun Che had become an untouchable god like Emperor Yuan, and talking to him seemed unreal.
"Lianzhi, please call me Young Master Yun next time." Yun Che said softly with a gentle smile on his face. Seeing Hua Lianzhi's amused expression, the tension in his heart dissipated a little.
“Ah, okay!” Yun Che’s figure flashed before Hua Lianzhi’s eyes. Although it was only a brief moment, it was enough to be remembered for the rest of his life.
"Young Master Yun really hasn't changed at all." Even after Yun Che walked away, Hua Lianzhi still stood there in a daze for a long time without moving.
“This time, you arrived even faster than I expected.” Just as Yun Che’s footsteps entered Hua Caili’s bedroom, Hua Caili’s cold voice came from afar. There was no trace of sadness or joy in her words.
"Cai Li, I completely understood your feelings back in the Pure Land, and you should be equally clear about mine." Yun Che smiled upon hearing Hua Cai Li speak up, and slowly exhaled. At the very least, this meant that Hua Cai Li didn't have much resistance to him. Perhaps this time, their frank conversation wouldn't be too fraught with difficulties.
“Oh, that was only to save the abyss. I stood on your side out of necessity. Now, I don’t need to pretend anymore. As I said that day, we will never meet again.” Hua Caili suddenly changed the subject, and her words stabbed straight at Yun Che like an ice knife, ruthlessly rejecting him.
But this time Yun Che did not leave, nor did he even move. A trace of pity glimmered in his eyes, and a deeper smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew that Hua Caili was still angry with him and was mad at him at the moment.
Yun Che slowly walked forward, without making any sound, and gently hugged Hua Caili from behind. He gently rested his head on Hua Caili's shoulder, his warm breath gently blowing against Hua Caili's cheek, and the distance between them instantly became infinitely closer.
“You…” Hua Caili’s brows furrowed tightly as she subconsciously struggled, trying to break free from Yun Che’s embrace.
But Yun Che held her tightly, with no intention of letting go.
"I won't let you leave my side again. No matter if you beat or scold me, or drive me away, I will never let go. What happened back then was indeed my fault. I wasn't able to be honest with you. At that time, I had too many difficulties, and even more heavy responsibilities on my shoulders. I couldn't confide in anyone." Yun Che's gentle words were like a warm current on a winter day, slowly flowing into the depths of Hua Caili's soul. "But now everything is different. All crises have been resolved, so I want to tell you the whole truth without reservation. From now on, I promise to never lie to you again, okay?"
Hua Caili didn't respond, but she stopped struggling, as if waiting for Yun Che's honesty.
"Actually, I come from what you call the 'Eternal Pure Land,' which is the Realm of the Gods where I originally came from. When I first came to the Abyss, my goal was to destroy everything here. The people of the Abyss posed a huge threat to the God Realm. As the Emperor of the God Realm, I had no choice but to eliminate this hidden danger in order to protect the peace of the God Realm."
"Not long after I fell into the abyss, I met you. Initially, my intentions were indeed not pure. I tried to use you to pry open the gate to the Abyssal Kingdom. However, as we spent more and more time together, I fell completely in love with you. I swear to God, this is absolutely true."
“…”
Yun Che slowly recounted his entire story from falling into the abyss to reaching the Pure Land.
"During the battle in the Sea of Mist, I took advantage of your feelings for me and deliberately provoked conflict between the three kingdoms of Zhimeng, Zhetian, and Senluo. I wanted to destroy the divine sources of each kingdom and prevent the Abyss Emperor from opening the passage to the Abyss. This is the most unforgivable sin I have committed against you. Seeing you heartbroken for me in the Sea of Mist, my heart ached as well, but at the time, I really had no other choice..."
“Alright, stop talking!” Hua Caili turned around abruptly, raised her fist, and hit Yun Che hard, her voice tinged with tears, “You’re truly hateful, so despicable!”
