"Accompany me to the Sea of Nothingness."
Leng Ye parted his thin lips slightly, his voice and tone were not as cold as before, but his attitude was still very firm.
Before Xuan Fengqian could express her opinion, he simply took action and dragged her away from Qingfeng Palace.
"Why would I go to the Sea of Nothingness? I don't want to go."
Xuan Feng frowned slightly, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pry open his large hand that was tightly gripping her waist.
"Qingming Festival has arrived, and the whole world mourns together. Going to Wuwang Sea at this time of year is a natural way to appreciate the heavens and earth weeping together and to witness the mountains and rivers grieving together."
"..."
Xuan Fengqian was surprised that Leng Ye had such a strange quirk, and was speechless for a moment.
"What's wrong? Not happy to keep me company?" Leng Ye sensed that Xuan Fengqian wasn't in a good mood and asked slowly.
"Does my happiness matter?"
“It’s important. But even if you’re unhappy, you have to stay with me.”
Leng Ye had long been accustomed to doing things his own way. Even though his feelings for Xuan Fengqian were genuine, he still couldn't get rid of his bad habits in a short time.
Even she had to go along with him in everything.
Xuan Fengqian had had enough of Leng Ye's domineering and autocratic ways, and if there was no need, she was too lazy to waste words with him.
Clearly, they are from two completely different worlds.
Even if all the grudges and entanglements were gone, she would never fall in love with such a self-righteous man.
Leng Ye silently observed her expression and, seeing that she remained sullen, he also engaged in deep self-reflection.
Could it be that he wasn't good enough to her?
He thought he had been tolerant enough towards her.
At the very least, after learning that Xuan Fengqian had personally agreed to marry Di Jun, he did not say a single harsh word to her.
But thinking about it more deeply, he really wasn't gentle or considerate enough; he was domineering and forceful, and would even occasionally say something harsh to her...
Leng Ye felt deeply helpless about this.
It wasn't that he was deliberately being mean to her; he was just used to being domineering and couldn't change it in a short time.
"You really like osmanthus cake?"
Leng Ye originally planned to cater to her tastes and bring the pastry shop to her while he was at it.
Unexpectedly, she simply shook her head indifferently.
"So what do you like to eat?"
"The warmth and comfort of osmanthus cake," Xuanfeng Qian replied.
What is the essence of everyday life?
On a small scale, it means tranquility, comfort, and a half-day of leisure in a busy life. On a larger scale, it means the safety of our country and the prosperity of our nation.
Leng Ye never expected that Xuan Fengqian longed for such a simple and ordinary life.
What puzzled him was how a carefree and virtuous fairy who had lived a secluded life in her boudoir could have such a deep concern for the country and its people.
Perhaps she was just trying to get his attention, which is why she was talking so eloquently, in order to show that she was different from others.
Thinking it over, Leng Ye repeatedly agreed, "A Qian is absolutely right. I will certainly live up to your expectations and do my utmost to protect this prosperous land."
"..."
The faint breeze seemed to silence him.
Isn't he always thinking of seeing the whole world weep and all things grieve?
Why have you changed your mind again?
Forget it, she couldn't be bothered to guess Leng Ye's thoughts.
Anyway, his words are like farts; you can't take them seriously.
What tormented her most was that even though they could fly to the Boundless Sea in the blink of an eye, he insisted on holding her hand and walking instead.
This departure lasted for several days.
Although she already possessed the Pure Yuan Immortal Body, she had been dragged along by him for several days without sleep or rest, and her physical strength was severely depleted.
When they reached the Boundless Sea, she suddenly lay down on the shallows with a "bang," panting heavily.
Leng Ye, as if nothing had happened, looked down at Xuan Fengqian, whose face was flushed and whose breathing was becoming increasingly rapid, and suddenly asked, "Are you implying that I should take the initiative?"
Xuan Fengqian was sore all over, not only too lazy to move, but even speaking was extremely difficult.
She sensed the teasing in Leng Ye's voice, so she simply closed her eyes and ignored him.
"I was just joking, are you angry?"
Leng Ye sat down beside her without making a sound and began to channel his inner energy into her.
If he had known she was so frail, he would never have dragged her through the streets and alleys.
They wouldn't be so carried away by a roadside vendor's words about a "perfect couple" that they wandered around the bustling streets for three days and three nights.
He did this simply to make Xuan Fengqian realize, through the words of others, how well-matched they were.
"Are you feeling better now?" After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Leng Ye saw that Xuan Fengqian's breathing had become more steady and asked her in a deep voice.
Xuan Fengqian slowly rose to his feet, staring intently at the boundless Sea of Nothingness.
For some reason, broken wails would occasionally echo from the Boundless Sea.
What's even more bizarre is that the hysterical crying was actually hers.
Could it be that she suffered inhuman torture in the Sea of No Return?
Thinking of this, she turned her head and asked Leng Ye with a puzzled look, "Did you hear the sound of shattering cries coming from the Boundless Sea?"
"Could you have misheard?"
Leng Ye blushed slightly and said awkwardly.
In fact, he also heard hysterical wails.
However, what he heard was not Xuan Fengqian's voice, but his own.
It is said that countless bones are buried in the Sea of No Return, but who could have imagined that he would be reborn from among the piles of bones?
Xuan Fengqian asked with a hint of disbelief, "You really didn't hear it?"
Leng Ye didn't want her to know that he had such a vulnerable side, so he subtly changed the subject, "A Qian, there's something I need to be honest with you about."
"What is it?"
"On the night you got drunk, it was I who carried you back to Qingfeng Palace from the edge of Yaochi."
"Then what?"
Xuan Fengqian had heard Di Jun mention this matter before, but she did not expect Leng Ye to bring it up on his own initiative.
"You cursed me to die a horrible death, so I thought I'd teach you a lesson. For some reason, you suddenly woke up and started crying incessantly. Seeing your ugly appearance, I didn't continue. To stop you from crying, I had no choice but to erase your memories for a short period of time."
Leng Ye knew exactly where Xuan Fengqian's bottom line was, and she also knew that if she found out about this, she would definitely regard him as a lustful lecher.
However, having made up his mind to be honest with her, he no longer wanted to deceive her.
After a moment of contemplation, seeing that Xuan Fengqian did not answer, Leng Ye, in order to ease the increasingly heavy atmosphere, jokingly said, "Are you regretting that I didn't continue?"
Xuan Fengqian's face was cold and stern as he coldly questioned, "Leng Ye, do you even know what respect is?"
"Only the weak talk about respect."
"What distinguishes humans from animals is that humans understand respect and do not act solely on the most primal desires and impulses in their bodies."
Leng Ye frowned, raised his hand and gently pinched Xuan Fengqian's cheek, "I consider you my beloved, but you regard me as a beast?"
Xuan Fengqian slapped Leng Ye's hand away forcefully. "Don't you think you're worse than a beast?"
"Xuan Fengqian, you'd better know when to stop. If you dare to argue with me again, I'll show you what it means to be worse than a beast."
Leng Ye was furious at her indifferent attitude.
He gripped her neck tightly with one hand, not with force, but the threat in his words was enough to make one tremble.
Xuan Feng pursed his thin lips, daring not to say another word.
For some reason, whenever he was in a gentle and pleasant mood, she would always forget his ruthless nature and seize every opportunity to argue and bicker with him.
After a short while, in an attempt to ease the tense atmosphere between them, Leng Ye pointed to the raging, boundless sea before them and said slowly, "Do you want to know about my past?"
Xuan Fengqian replied without hesitation, "I don't want to."
Leng Ye ignored him, staring blankly at the crashing waves, and said in a low voice, "Many years ago, there was a fairy as beautiful as you in the Nine Heavens. She loved to pester me and would always try to strike up a conversation with me. I was proud and aloof by nature and rarely paid her any attention. But year after year, day after day, I eventually got used to her pestering."
Xuanfeng knew that the beautiful fairy Leng Ye was referring to was himself.
However, at this moment, her heart was calm and still, no longer filled with the excitement she once felt.
"Years later, she finally became my wife. But she seemed to have become a different person, her temperament becoming increasingly cold, and she would never even let me into the house. Although I was angry at times, I let her do as she pleased because a great calamity was approaching."
"Are you referring to the Nine Heavens Tribulation?"
Xuan Fengqian was secretly alarmed. How could her memories differ so greatly from his?
In her memory, she had never married him.
Leng Ye nodded slightly, then said, "I barely survived the Nine Heavens Tribulation, but those old fogies from the Immortal Realm took advantage of my serious injuries to repeatedly issue challenges, demanding that I fight them to the death. On the day of the decisive battle, in order to protect her, I handed the Xuanyuan Demon Sword to her. Unexpectedly, she took the Xuanyuan Demon Sword and slashed it fiercely down on my back."
"Wait, are you sure that person is her?"
Xuan Fengqian had seen the sword wound that ran through Leng Ye's back, so she believed him without a doubt.
However, what puzzled her most was why she had inexplicably lost all her memories of their marriage.
"No one but her can harm the true self."
Leng Ye slowly turned his head, his thin lips slightly parted, "Do you know that my remains were once buried in the Boundless Sea? However, I was lucky enough to be reborn from the ashes and return to before the tragedy occurred."
Xuan Fengqian then understood why Leng Ye hated her so much.
It turns out that, like Xuan Qianning, he too had been reborn and returned.
"Ah Qian, tell me, what should I do if I were to encounter that woman here?"
Leng Ye didn't want to dwell on who was right or wrong; he just wanted to have things cleared up. Now, he had completely let go of the past and only wanted a chance to start over.
"As you said, seeing is not necessarily believing. Could there be a misunderstanding?"
Xuanfeng pondered that, in Leng Ye's memories of her previous life, the reason she drew her sword against him was most likely because of her "foreseeing disasters" ability.
After a long silence, Leng Ye finally got to the point, asking her softly, "For revenge, I specially hired a group of men to humiliate her. But now, I've softened and regret it. Do you think it's possible for her to let go of everything and reconcile with me?"
"There's no need to reconcile. You're not a woman, so you have no idea how cruel this kind of behavior is."
Xuan Fengqian understood his desire for peace, but after experiencing a series of calamities, she was no longer willing to seek peace with him.
Even though she believed he had no ill intentions at the moment, she still didn't want to have too much contact with someone who had once tried to drag her into an endless abyss.
Leng Ye was clearly dissatisfied with her answer and pressed her further, "Even if she hadn't been violated by those men, it still wouldn't have been averted?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Fengqian looked at him with a slightly guilty expression, but seeing that he was not angry, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"I ask you, is there any way to salvage this?"
"Don't you still remember the way she drew her sword? How can the knot in your heart be untied so easily? The grudge has been formed, and the best outcome is to become strangers and never see each other again."
After learning that she had once caused his death, Xuan Fengqian could indeed understand the deep-seated hatred he felt after his rebirth.
However, she also remembered the fierce way he slapped her to avenge Xuan Qianning.
A hint of melancholy flashed in Leng Yeyao's dark eyes.
He originally thought that as long as he was open and honest about everything, she would change her mind.
But now it seems that winning her back won't be so easy.
"I'll ask you one last time, can you forgive me?"
Is this important?
"Important. Your attitude is especially important to me."
Xuan Fengqian retorted sarcastically, "Stop deceiving yourself. In your heart, profit is the most important thing, isn't it?"
In her view, both he and Di Jun were extremely rational people.
To hold such a high position, one must possess exceptional abilities in addition to absolute strength.
People in positions of power like them have never always placed their own interests at the top of their priorities.
"Whether you believe it or not, in my heart, you are the most important."
Leng Ye finally mustered up the courage to speak her mind.
Xuan Fengqian stared at his flushed cheeks, unable to discern for a moment whether what he said was true or false.
Judging from his current appearance, he does seem somewhat simple-minded.
However, she never forgot the fact that Leng Ye had been with countless women.
It's conceivable that a man as filthy as him must have some skill in seducing women.
The reason he put on such a precarious and affectionate act was definitely to lure her into a trap.
Thinking of this, Xuanfeng Qianleng suddenly moved to the side, feeling that Leng Ye, who looked well-dressed, was dirtier than the stubborn rocks in the cesspool.
Leng Ye looked at Xuan Fengqian, who was filled with disgust, with a puzzled expression. He sighed helplessly and said with a hint of dejection, "It's getting late. I'll send you back to the Immortal Realm."
"That's excellent."
The sea breeze, which had been blowing gently for a long time, has now become a bit more energetic.
She was still thinking about rushing back to Qingfeng Palace to forge that incomparably hard black iron, so she casually picked up a wisp of cloud and hurriedly took off on a cloud.
"stop!"
Leng Ye wanted to take the opportunity to ask her about her marriage to Di Jun, but unexpectedly, she dashed up to the South Heavenly Gate in the blink of an eye.
Xuanfeng Qian pretended not to hear Leng Ye's call and continued walking towards Qingfeng Palace.
"Is your skin itchy?"
Leng Ye frowned slightly, and then, in front of the guards of the South Heavenly Gate, he took off the belt that was transformed from the Nine-Section Demon Whip.
The guards mistakenly believed that Leng Ye was about to commit adultery in broad daylight, and they anxiously discussed whether or not they should leave him to die.
Xuan Fengqian, pretending that Leng Ye was about to whip her with the Nine-Section Demon Whip again, finally stopped in her tracks. "I've been with you for several days now, are you still not satisfied?"
