Jingyi felt his life force rapidly draining away, and the fear of death surged in. He had not yet accomplished his great cause and did not want to die.
With tears in his eyes, he turned to Qinglong and pleaded, "Wei Xun, we are brothers, bound by blood. You can't kill me like this. Please seal me away again and spare my life."
Faced with his pleas for mercy, Wei Xun's gaze was as cold as ice: "I should have killed you back in ancient times, otherwise, there would be no calamity today. This time, I will not spare your life."
Hearing these resolute words, Jingyi cursed angrily and could only turn his hope to Ning An, who had been watching from the sidelines. He pleaded with her with tears streaming down his face, "Ning An, whether now or in the past, you are the person I love most. Although we are not officially married, I am your fiancé and your partner. You can't just stand by and watch me die."
Seeing him begging for help like a drowning dog, Ning An's eyes flashed with deep disgust: "Shut up. The greatest shame of my life comes from you. I wish I could tear you to pieces. Besides, you have never loved me, but yourself. You have no right to talk about deep affection in front of me."
Exposed by her, Jingyi felt guilty and angry. He immediately changed his expression and said through gritted teeth, "Even if you hate me, I saved your life in this life. If it weren't for me, Chu Yu would have died long ago when we were walking the dragon."
Ning An thought about it carefully and then mocked, "When Chu Yu was attacked by the dragon, the divine sword that fell from the sky was Wei Xun's sword. It was Wei Xun who saved him. You are taking credit for Chu Yu's work and deceiving him, but you can't deceive me."
Jingyi hurriedly explained, "Although I did not kill the dragon, when Chu Yu was seriously injured and unconscious, it was I who used the dragon scales to protect her heart meridian."
Ning An carefully sensed it and indeed found a faint aura of dragon scales within her body.
It turns out this guy really did save Chu Yu's life.
Even so, she would not soften her heart: "Although you saved Chu Yu's life, you will not escape death. After all, your kindness is not enough to make up for the evil things you did to me when you imprisoned me in the Demon Suppression Tower in ancient times."
Thinking back on those things, Jingyi explained guiltily, "I did that only as a small punishment for your betrayal..."
"Shut up!"
Ning An was too lazy to listen to his sophistry anymore. She gave Qinglong a wink, and Qinglong understood. He unleashed his divine power and struck Jingyi with a palm, causing him to vomit blood and die, ending his sinful life.
The enormous dragon corpse quickly turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated with the wind.
At that moment, Ning An felt a sense of relief.
Jingyi is finally dead.
The nightmare that had been haunting her finally disappeared.
The Azure Dragon transformed back into human form and came to Ning An's side, comforting her with both strength and gentleness: "Ning An, the person who hurt you has disappeared, and the Demon Emperor's curse has been lifted. You are free. You can now choose to be An Ning or Chu Yu."
Ning An looked at him and said calmly, "Ning An and Chu Yu were originally one. However, Ning An is the past, while Chu Yu is the present. The current Chu Yu is very happy. She has a loving master and senior brothers, as well as a husband who loves her deeply."
Wei Xun understood, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips: "You're right, Fu Yunche is the same. Whether it's Wei Xun or Fu Yunche, they will do everything in their power to protect their loved ones."
He turned to look at the peach grove in the distance. The resurrection formation was destroyed, Jingyi was dead, the immortal energy of Penglai Immortal Island was exhausted, the island would soon collapse and fall into the sea, and the Heavenly Palace and the peach grove would soon cease to exist.
He gazed at the peach grove and said with nostalgia, "Do you still remember the time in ancient times when you played the flute in that peach grove?"
Ning An looked in the direction he pointed and nodded: "I remember, I was very lonely and depressed back then, and you were there for me and comforted me."
"Yes, I can't believe so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. That peach blossom grove will soon disappear. I'd like you to play a song for me one last time, would you please?"
Ning An nodded: "Okay."
They arrived at the peach grove.
Previously, Wei Xun had set up a barrier in the peach blossom forest to prevent it from being damaged by the war.
The peach blossom grove is still just like it was in ancient times, with flowers blooming beautifully. When a breeze blows, countless pink peach petals fall with the wind, creating an extremely romantic scene.
The two arrived at a peach tree and sat down on the ground.
Ning An took out the Demon-Subduing Flute and began to blow it.
It was a tune she often played; the flute's melody was melodious and pleasant to the ear.
The two gazed at each other tenderly as the flute music played.
Although they never confessed their feelings to each other, after being together for many years, they understood each other's feelings and loved each other deeply.
Standing to the side, the bystander, Daoist Changfeng, was moved to tears as he thought about how the two had waited for each other for tens of thousands of years.
This couple has had a really tough time. After so many years of ups and downs, they've finally tied the knot and are together.
After the song ended, Ning An gently took Wei Xun's hand, rested her head on his shoulder, and said tenderly, "Wei Xun, thank you for everything you've done for me over the years. It's so good to have you by my side."
Wei Xun held her hand tightly, tears welling up in his eyes.
At this moment, his years of hard work finally paid off.
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, finally saying what he had always wanted to say: "Ning An, my heart belongs to you, and I am happy to do everything for you."
Ning An smiled, her heart filled with emotion and sweetness. She raised her head, looked deeply into his eyes, and made a vow to him: "Wei Xun, I will never let you down."
She looked up and planted a kiss on his lips.
Wei Xun blushed, his heart filled with sweetness.
Although Chu Yu and Fu Yunche had kissed many times, this kiss was exclusively for Wei Xun and Ning An.
After staying in the peach grove for a while, the two left with Daoist Changfeng.
Not long after they left, Penglai Island collapsed and fell into the sea.
...
The three returned to the underworld, where Yama and his men had already cleaned up the battlefield and restored order to the underworld, with everything proceeding smoothly.
Seeing this, Wei Xun and Ning An breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the two of them, the eldest brother, Ye Zhiyuan, was somewhat worried. He sighed inwardly and said to his second brother, Lu Xianqing, "The Goddess Ning'an has recovered her true form and is now very powerful. I guess we won't have a junior sister anymore."
Lu Xianqing couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing their sighs, Ning An smiled and said, "My divine power was exhausted when I used the Yingyue Divine Bow. I can't maintain my physical form for long. I will soon revert to my physical form, which is to say, I will return to Chu Yu's state. Don't worry, Junior Sister will be back soon."
The two were overjoyed.
Although they respected the Goddess Ning'an, they still hoped that their junior sister could return.
