Qianye Ying'er slowly opened the door to the Temple of Eternal Night and stepped into it.
The moment she entered, she felt momentarily dazed, as if she had returned to the God Realm. This was Xia Qingyue's newly built Temple of Eternal Night. Its interior layout was remarkably similar to the palaces of the Moon God Realm back then, and its level of luxury was no less impressive.
As far as Qianye Ying'er's eyes could see, there was only a solitary figure sitting on an empty high seat, forming a sharp contrast with the vast space.
Their gazes met in mid-air, and the entire Temple of Eternal Night fell into a brief, solemn silence. The air around them seemed frozen in the silence, and time seemed to slow down at that moment. They stared at each other, their eyes swirling with complex emotions: past grudges, the current confrontation, and thoughts about the future. In this silence, one could almost hear the heavy beating of each other's hearts, beating again and again, pounding the oppressive atmosphere.
"Qianye Ying'er!" Xia Qingyue was the first to break the deathly silence. Her eyes flashed with two piercing rays of cold light, fixed fixedly on the all-too-familiar figure before her. The moment this golden light suddenly appeared, she felt for a moment as if she were in a dream. In her mind, this figure should never have appeared in the abyss.
“Xia Qingyue, being able to see you alive again is truly an incomparable feeling. You truly are worthy of being blessed by Heaven. Even though you were severely injured when you fell into the abyss, you still managed to survive.” Qianye Ying'er's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
The moment she actually saw Xia Qingyue, all her previous anxieties and nervousness vanished without a trace. At that moment, she felt only a flicker of joy from the depths of her heart. At least, she still had a chance to atone for her past sins.
This familiar Buddhist chant reached Xia Qingyue's ears, and her entire demeanor suddenly changed. Her heart, once calm as water, instantly began to boil. At this moment, she was finally convinced that the scene before her was not an illusion, but a solid reality.
“How dare you come to the Abyss and appear before me with such audacity!” Xia Qingyue’s voice was as cold as ice. The temperature of the entire Eternal Night Temple seemed to drop several degrees with these icy words.
"Why, can't I just come find you? Or is it that even though you've already died once, your hatred for me remains as deep as ever?" Qianye Ying'er said softly, smiling. She could clearly sense the endless murderous intent emanating from Xia Qingyue, but her expression remained unchanged, maintaining her composure.
"My hatred for you will never fade, no matter how time passes. As time passes, this hatred will only grow deeper and more solid." Xia Qingyue's eyes were like two sharp swords, piercing straight into Qianye Ying'er's chest, as if to pierce through her soul.
"That's consistent with what I thought. It's indeed how it should be, and it's what I, who made countless mistakes in the past, deserve." Qianye Ying'er still chuckled in response.
"Actually, like you, I've also experienced death. Back then, I was ruthlessly betrayed by Qianye Fantian, my profound veins were cruelly crippled, and I fell from being a high-ranking, proud daughter of heaven to a prisoner. Back then, I was filled with bitterness, constantly mocking my own pathetic life. I even contemplated death, hoping to atone for my past actions in this way. But I knew in my heart that the past was irreversible, and my guilt and desire for atonement seemed so ridiculous in the face of cruel reality." Qianye Ying'er smiled miserably, and her entire aura instantly weakened by three points.
"Haha, someone like you who uses all means to achieve his goals actually has a day when he 'comes to his senses'? Back then, when you and Yun Che returned from the Northern Divine Territory and stood side by side before me, you couldn't possibly imagine how much pain I felt. Back then, I had already made up my mind to die, so I didn't dwell on it too much. But now it's different."
“I once clearly told Yun Che that he could toy with you as he pleased, but he must never develop the slightest true affection for you. But it was obvious that he turned a deaf ear to my words and ultimately fell uncontrollably in love with you.” Xia Qingyue’s fingers tightly grasped the throne, her fingertips deeply embedded in it, as if only in this way could she vent a little of the emotions that were difficult to suppress within her heart.
"Then do you know why Yun Che fell in love with me?" Qianye Ying'er looked directly into Xia Qingyue's eyes and spoke slowly, "Because in the darkest and most desperate moments of his life, I was always by his side. Both my body and my true heart provided him with the warmest comfort and nourishment. It was with my company that his once hopeless and closed heart was able to step out of the abyss of darkness. It's no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for me, perhaps he wouldn't be who he is today."
Bang!
Without waiting for Xia Qingyue's response, the door of the Temple of Eternal Night was kicked open.
The scarred man and three other men appeared outside the door. Their faces and bodies were covered with scars. They all looked extremely miserable, as if they had just experienced a brutal and fierce battle.
When the scarred man's gaze fell upon the stunningly beautiful faces of Xia Qingyue and Qianye Ying'er, his pupils unconsciously widened rapidly, as if he felt that all his previous preparations and efforts had now made sense and been rewarded.
"I heard that the current Eternal Night God is a beauty of the nation, a thousand times more beautiful than that old witch Shen Wuyan Ye. Seeing her today, it's true that her reputation is well-deserved!" The scarred man laughed wildly and took a heavy step forward. "What's even more surprising is that there is more than one such beauty."
He had never seen women as fresh and refined as Xia Qingyue and Qianye Ying'er in his life. For a moment, an obscene and lewd look that was difficult to conceal appeared on his face.
"I've never tasted the power of a Divine Lord. Now that I've been fortunate enough to receive this opportunity, how can I let it go? If I could toy with a Divine Lord as I pleased, hey, I'd probably leave a lasting mark in the history of this abyss! Hahaha!" The scarred man laughed wildly, emanating the aura of the third level of the Divine Extreme Realm. At this moment, facing Xia Qingyue, who was only at the Divine Lord Realm, and Qianye Ying'er, who was at the first level of the Divine Annihilation Realm, his face showed no fear, his eyes filled with an eager, lustful urge.
“Who on earth gave you such courage? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of me!” Although her cultivation was only at the Divine Lord Realm, Xia Qingyue’s aura had not weakened in the slightest. There was no fear on her face as she continued to sit calmly on her high seat, her eyes coldly looking down at the ant-like crowd below.
“Hahaha! You still think you’re the high and mighty Lord of Eternal Night? Today, I’ll let you know how powerful I am! I didn’t have the chance to seek revenge on God Wuyan Ye back then, so getting some interest from you isn’t bad at all.” Facing Xia Qingyue’s threat, the scarred man remained calm and fearless.
