I stood there, stunned. Had they really gone to the other end of the passage?
In the blink of an eye, a great deal of resentment rushed toward me.
Fortunately, there wasn't much resentment left, and with You protecting me, I was alright.
"Xin'er?" You called out to me, and when I didn't respond, she called me again.
It was only then that I realized what was happening, and I turned my head to look at You Junlang's face and grinned foolishly.
"What's wrong?" You asked, her voice showing concern as she saw me just grinning foolishly.
The passage has now been closed, and the resentment that had just filled the sky has vanished without a trace thanks to the efforts of the others.
With the resentment extinguished, You naturally disregarded the formation and familiarly took my hand, whispering to comfort me, "Were you frightened?"
I shook my head, silently looked at You for a long time, and then buried my face in You's chest.
I find it hard to describe the complex feelings I have right now.
I'm relieved that the God's departure has relieved me of one of the dangers of exposure, yet I'm also saddened by his passing, as I haven't yet avenged my great grudge against Liu Lieyu.
Seeing that I didn't speak, You didn't ask me why, but simply put one hand on my back and let me hug her.
"You two are really in love!"
I knew it was Liu Lieyu from the sarcastic, mocking voice without even looking.
I will never forget that voice, even if it kills me!
I abruptly lifted my head from You's embrace and glared at Liu Lieyu.
You's complexion was naturally not good, and his dark eyes held a strong warning.
Liu Lieyu didn't care about our attitude at all; he just smiled inexplicably with a sinister air.
I frowned slightly and exchanged a glance with You, having already made up my mind.
Has Liu Lieyu suddenly lost his mind?
Needless to say, his current appearance was quite different from what I expected. Back then, Liu Lieyu's sudden outburst in the Fourth Hall and his subsequent attempt to rush towards me despite the God's instructions had a hint of mutual destruction.
You unconsciously shielded me behind her; the God Venerable had given us three special instructions before his passing.
The deity has not truly perished, and we don't even know what the mysterious seed planted among the three of us is, but it's certainly not a good thing.
The deity may appear kind and benevolent, but if he were to truly become ruthless, there would be no chance of recovery; he would only cause your soul to be scattered.
Even if there is still resentment, I can only endure it this time.
Why should we, a perfect couple, waste our lives for Liu Lieyu, this single snake?
"It's only natural that Xin'er and I are a loving couple," You said calmly, turning her gaze away from Liu Lieyu.
With the deity gone and the resentment extinguished, You then pulled me away, saying we should not linger here any longer.
Liu Lieyu didn't see it, but I did see the slight upturn of his lips as he turned around.
Although You had her back to Liu Lieyu, she remained vigilant.
Not only did he carefully protect me, but he also had to be extremely vigilant in preventing Liu Lieyu from launching a sudden sneak attack.
Although it is inappropriate for the mighty Donghuang to resort to sneak attacks in front of powerful figures from all walks of life.
But that's Liu Lieyu. What bottom line do you have for him?
Youzhi pulled me away from Liu Lieyu completely, and only then did my tense body relax a little.
Liu Lieyu was not completely insane after all, and he knew that his opponent was also at a disadvantage.
Nobody knows what tricks the gods have played on us.
It could be a matter of life and death, and no one would take that risk without fully understanding the situation.
"You, where are we going?"
Perhaps because I had been floating in the sky for so long, and the surrounding air was quite cold, I actually sneezed loudly.
"Did you catch a cold?" You touched my forehead and pulled me into a tight embrace. "Why are you getting more and more delicate?"
I chuckled awkwardly and said, "No, it's just that my nose is itchy."
I shifted restlessly. "Put me down."
You glanced at me indifferently, "I won't let go."
I felt a little uneasy, and I would occasionally act spoiled and ask You to hold me.
But we're still outside, and there might be someone behind us, so I feel a little awkward being hugged by You like this.
"What? I can't even hug my woman?"
You's words sound rather pitiful.
"If you don't mind the weight, just keep carrying me." My heart softened instantly, and I gently kissed You's chin.
Although You didn't say anything, the upturned corners of his mouth betrayed his good mood.
"You, where are we going?" After walking for a while, I realized that You hadn't said where we were going.
Could it be the return to ruins?
But... I'm still a little worried about the situation in the mortal realm.
Although the mortal realm is not under my jurisdiction now, once the situation in the Heavenly Court improves, Luo will naturally not sit idly by and watch the mortal realm suffer disasters.
But who can know how much resentment the Heavenly Court still harbors? The time wasted in the mortal realm means the loss of several more precious lives.
I sighed heavily. I shouldn't have left in such a hurry; I should have asked Luo.
"The human world." You's voice wasn't loud; it was blown away by the wind as soon as it came out, but it still reached my ears before it was completely gone.
I couldn't help but smile; You has never been interested in the human world.
The deity commanded that the resentment be removed, but You was initially unenthusiastic and showed little interest.
Now that you've brought up the human world, I know You is worried that I won't forget what happened there.
"Do you still remember the way?" You teased me, covering my mouth as she held me in her arms.
You glanced at me with a dark look in her eyes, then suddenly leaned down and kissed my red lips. At first, it was a bit of a punishment as she bit my lips, but later it became a soft and gentle kiss.
You's memory is still excellent; she led me to Shalin's location in no time.
A Go board was laid out in front of Sha Lin. Sha Lin held the white pieces, while the one holding the black pieces was naturally the land deity of that day.
The two were so terrified that they didn't even notice us getting close.
I gently patted Shalin on the back, intending to scare him.
"Shalin!"
As expected, Sha Lin was startled by me, and the white piece he was hesitating to place clattered onto the chessboard.
Shalin quickly realized what was happening, turned to look at me, and exclaimed, "Heavenly Emperor!"
This cry of "Heavenly Emperor" was filled with extraordinary joy.
Before I met Luo, I didn't think there was anything wrong with this title, after all, it was the title that the original owner was used to hearing.
But when I saw Luo today, I lowered my eyes. Luo is the current leader of the Heavenly Court and the rightful Heavenly Emperor.
Hearing this title made me feel uneasy, not out of jealousy, but because the title was indeed inappropriate.
It needs to be changed.
"Shalin, don't call me that anymore." I patted Shalin on the shoulder. "Just call me Nvxin."
Sha Lin's eyes showed some fear. "Actually, I can call the Heavenly Emperor by his name at will."
I smiled helplessly. "I already said last time that I am not the Heavenly Emperor. The current Heavenly Emperor is the Goddess of the Luo River."
Shalin's eyes flickered as he said, "Then you are also a noble ancient god."
Just as I was about to say something, Sha Lin said again, "Then I'll just call you Immortal Venerable."
"Okay." I nodded slightly; at least it sounded much better than "Heavenly Emperor."
Shalin glanced at You beside me, but quickly looked away after just one look.
