We followed You closely, traveling swiftly until we arrived at the familiar Sun and Moon City. Before we could even take a closer look, You vanished with a flash, and when we opened our eyes again, we found ourselves in a dark and secluded hall.
The hall was unusually empty except for a dark, old metal throne on the high platform. I looked around but couldn't find anything else.
"You, why is this place so empty?" I asked You, who was standing in front of the throne and fiddling with the backrest of the throne.
You glanced around and said, "I hadn't paid attention to these things before." You then sat down on the throne and pulled me into her arms, holding me tightly.
"Did you spend endless years here all by yourself?" I looked up at You, and her delicate chin appeared before me.
You lowered her head and gently rested her chin on the top of my head.
I silently sensed the emotions emanating from You, and I could imagine what it was like for You to live alone in this great hall.
I reached out and hugged You tightly, leaning against her chest.
You put one arm around my waist and silently brushed my bangs aside with the other. "Xin'er, I don't know how to tell you."
I didn't say anything, but I tightened my grip on You's arm as a silent response.
However, this silence did not last long before it was broken by Feng Su.
"You Yuan, you are actually the master of the Abyss, Lord Sun and Moon!" Feng Su seemed to only just realize what was happening, blinking her bright, sparkling eyes with excitement.
I got up from You's embrace, and after exchanging a knowing glance with her, I said, "You're only just finding out, Feng Su?"
Feng Su scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "I heard it too, but I just couldn't believe it. After all, it's a mysterious person who has been operating in the Abyss for many years."
Feng Su suddenly stepped forward and said with even more excitement than before, "You Yuan, since you are the Lord of the Abyss, we have the ability to retaliate against Liu Lieyu."
My instinct was to refuse. I only hoped that Liu Lieyu wouldn't find out about us, but I never thought of confronting him.
After all, Liu Lieyu, who possesses the Eastern Emperor Bell, is an extremely troublesome character. Both Di Jun and Nv Xin suffered a lot at Liu Lieyu's hands. I am somewhat afraid of Liu Lieyu, and I never want to suffer the pain of losing You again.
You's eyes were very deep, as if she was thinking about something. I naturally knew that You and Liu Lieyu had a long-standing grudge, a feud spanning two lifetimes. With Liu Lieyu relentlessly pursuing her, how could You possibly let it go?
After a moment of contemplation, You looked up again, his expression now firm. "This revenge is a must, but we need to think carefully about how to do it."
"What are you thinking about? Just rush out and beat them up." Feng Su looked indignant, her clenched fists making it seem as if she was about to rush out and hit them at any moment.
I wanted to speak up and stop Feng Su, but then I remembered that when I learned that You had been seriously injured and died by Liu Lieyu, I was much more emotional than Feng Su. I touched my nose and felt embarrassed to say anything to Feng Su.
You glanced at Feng Su briefly and said indifferently, "Have you forgotten the consequences for those from the Abyss who venture out?"
Feng Su's face paled, and she immediately thought of Jin Yu. Jin Yu was the successor of the Four Heavenly Spirits, but because she grew up in the abyss, she could never see the light. If Jin Yu was like this, then the others in the abyss were even worse off.
Feng Su's face was pale, and her lips moved slightly, trembling as if she wanted to say something. After a long while, Feng Su said in a deep voice, "Can't the people of the Abyss go out?"
You nodded gently.
I felt a little relieved. Fortunately, no one in the abyss could leave, otherwise, if You and Liu Lieyu were to fight, chaos would surely ensue. Most importantly, I was afraid that You would get hurt.
Feng Su lowered her head. "Then we'll be in a very passive position. If Liu Lieyu and his men discover this place, they will definitely launch a major attack."
You smiled coldly, showing no fear on her face. "If he dares to come, I will make sure he never returns."
"You, why are you so sure?" I could tell from You's confident expression.
"Xin'er, do you still remember my Hetu Luoshu?"
The River Chart and the Luo River Book? Of course I remember. This is You's companion artifact, just like the Eastern Emperor Bell is to Liu Lieyu.
“I buried him in the entire abyss.” A strange smile suddenly appeared on You’s face. “I can’t guarantee anything about other places, but in the abyss, he is definitely no match for me.”
I am naturally aware of the power of the Hetu Luoshu; its power is no less than that of the Donghuang Bell, only differing in function.
If the Eastern Emperor Bell is a deadly weapon, then the River Chart and Luo Book are versatile and unfathomable defensive artifacts; they can even predict the future.
I think You must have modified the Hetu Luoshu over these ten thousand years, giving him mysterious attack power as well.
"Xin'er, don't worry, I will definitely protect you this time." You suddenly called my name, and I looked up blankly at You who was so close to me.
You's eyes were fixed on me, and the corners of her mouth were raised. Even in this dark abyss, the dazzling aura emanating from You could not be concealed.
I held You's hand tightly and whispered, "I'm fine. You must take good care of yourself and don't get hurt again."
You patted my head. "Don't worry."
You looked around and said to me in a low voice, "It is indeed a bit deserted here. Xin'er, Feng Su, come with me."
You led us away from the main hall from the left side of the throne, saying, "I have built a palace specifically for you behind it."
"You knew I was coming?" I asked casually.
“Hmm, I don’t know.” You said calmly, “It’s just that I’m alone in this abyss, and I often miss you. So I imagined that you would come one day, and that’s why I built a palace for you in the backyard.”
I took You's hand and we walked side by side, tilting my head to listen to what You was saying.
"I often add whatever comes to mind to your palace, and it has taken nearly ten thousand years of repairs and modifications to make it look the way it is today."
I looked at the red lips under You's chin and suddenly remembered something. I spoke up, "The day I first came to Sun and Moon City, did you sneak into my room and kiss me?" I touched my lips, as if the cold touch from that time was still there.
You turned her head to the side, revealing half of her stunningly beautiful face in the dim air. "That's right, it's me."
I said, lowering my head, I could probably understand why I inexplicably believed in Sun Moon when I first saw him.
However, I'm a little confused. If You and Sun and Moon Lord are the same person, then naturally I like You. But now that he has merged with Sun and Moon Lord, is he still You?
I kept thinking to myself as I walked, glancing at You's face from time to time, but You's figure hadn't changed much.
