After seeing Su Nian off, Qian Shudie asked Qian Taotao curiously, "Mother, are human weddings... very troublesome?"
Qian Taotao said with a headache, "It's not that troublesome... but with the Hundred Races War imminent, all the major demon races will gather in the Demon Emperor City in the next few days. The fact that Su Nian has the soul of his ancestor hidden in his body will eventually become a secret. I'm sure it won't be long before the news spreads like wildfire throughout the city."
Qian Shudie instantly understood Qian Taotao's good intentions and said, "Then Mother is worried that another woman will steal Brother Su Nian away?"
"That's one point. As for the second..."
"What?" Qian Shudie tilted her head curiously.
Qian Taotao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "In the past hundred years, four of the nine major demon races have been secretly wiped out. All the demon races suspect that it was done by human experts. Now the relationship between our two races can be described as irreconcilable. Su Nian is, after all, a human, and he is bound to be hated by many demons. You must understand that there are more solutions than just procreation to restore the ancestor's physical body..."
Upon hearing this, Qian Shudie's expression turned grim. "So, does that mean Brother Su Nian is in a dangerous situation?"
Qian Taotao nodded. "That's right. That's why I specifically instructed his master not to let other demon women get close to him. Now, any demon who gets close to Su Nian could be an assassin who wants to kill him."
"So... his master did this to protect his safety... I thought... she didn't like us demons getting close to Brother Su Nian..." Qian Shudie murmured to herself.
Qian Taotao smiled and said, "When I made this suggestion, she readily agreed. I suppose there was a reason for it, after all... killing someone and taking their soul is extremely difficult. Moreover, Su Nian himself is quite strong. Although he is disguised as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, I know that even I would have a very low chance of winning against him!"
Qian Taotao still vividly remembered the scene of Su Nian fighting against the powerful lightning of the Heavenly Dao.
That tens of thousands of meters tall celestial Dharma image awes the entire universe! It is something that no ordinary Tribulation Transcending Realm expert could achieve.
She was just a little strange.
Logically speaking, someone like Su Nian should have a very famous reputation.
Why has it remained unknown for so long?
Qian Shudie had never witnessed Su Nian's Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, and thought her mother was just being modest.
Looking at the sky outside the window, Qian Taotao said to Qian Shudie, "It's about time. You should go back and rest. Get some rest so you can see your brother Su Nian tomorrow."
"Okay, Mother!" Qian Shudie nodded obediently.
After saying goodbye to Qian Taotao, Qian Shudie prepared to return to her own courtyard.
But she stopped halfway through her journey and looked up at the bright full moon.
She held her hand across her brow, gazing at the moon, and murmured to herself, "The moon is so round tonight... wouldn't it be a pity to go back like this?"
With a quick glance, Qian Shudie turned and followed the direction Su Nian had gone.
"You have to take control of your own happiness. Let's go play with Brother Su Nian for a while while he's still awake!"
...
After saying goodbye to Qian Taotao, Su Nian and Su Liuli walked back to their courtyard.
The two stood one behind the other, neither speaking a word. A somber atmosphere permeated the space between them, and neither dared to speak first.
Su Nian walked ahead with her chest out and head held high, gazing at the bright full moon in the sky, her vision blurring for a moment.
Incidentally, the night before each of his reincarnations is always a full moon night.
The power of reincarnation is one of the great powers of heaven and earth. It both violates the way of heaven and attempts to steal the power of the way of heaven.
In the endless cycle of reincarnation, he accumulated despair and lived in depression day after day. If it weren't for a lingering obsession in his heart, he would probably have already been buried in his grave.
No.
Perhaps there won't even be a grave; instead, the body will lie exposed in the wilderness, unnoticed by anyone.
He reached out his hand, spread his fingers, and tried to touch the moon.
Moonlight filtered through his fingers and fell on his handsome face.
A strong sense of déjà vu suddenly arose before his eyes. He vaguely remembered that in his previous life he had also walked on this street with his palms outstretched to touch the moon.
However, compared to then, his gloomy and lifeless eyes have become bright and radiant.
The battle at the Holy Glory Sect saved him from despair; not only did he survive, but he also weakened Ye Hua's luck.
This is all thanks to Qian Weiwei; she's the one who's keeping me alive.
Perhaps Qian Weiwei is right; she really is the messenger sent by heaven to help him defeat Ye Hua.
"Nian'er..."
Just as Su Nian was reflecting on life, Su Liuli's gentle voice sounded behind him.
He turned around, and the cold night wind blew, lifting the soft hem of Su Liuli's skirt.
She gripped her right arm with her left hand, looked down at Su Nian with a hurt expression, and asked, "Why...did you agree to marry Qian Shudie?"
Su Nian did not answer directly, but remained silent for a long time.
He didn't know how to look at his master now.
Are you smiling?
His former master was deceived by Ye Hua and drew his sword against him, but in the end, he was refined by Ye Hua and became one of the millions of souls he used to forge weapons.
Are you angry?
In this life, thanks to his own inaction, his master inadvertently cleared up his misunderstanding of him. She did not harm him; instead, she protected him.
He seemed not to hear Su Liuli's voice, and continued to gaze at the moon.
Su Liuli spoke softly behind him, saying slowly to herself, "Today, before you went to find Qian Taotao, I met Gong Lengxue."
Su Nian suddenly paused.
Gong Lengxue?
What does she want with Su Liuli?
“Gong Lengxue is the daughter of the Reincarnation Demon Clan. The reincarnation power of her clan is of the same origin as yours. She came to see me, so I talked to her.”
Su Nian listened quietly to Su Liuli's words, vaguely sensing that something was amiss.
"She said that her clan has a secret treasure that has been passed down for thousands of years, called the Three Lives Stone. The Three Lives Stone has the power to transcend past and present lives and enter the cycle of reincarnation. Unfortunately, no one in her clan has been able to control this power for thousands of years. Even the most outstanding Reincarnation Demon Clan can only glimpse a little bit of the cycle of reincarnation."
That's true.
Throughout the ninety-nine lifetimes of reincarnation, only Su Nian was able to control the Three Lives Stone.
Just because it didn't exist before doesn't mean it won't exist in the future.
As a titled emperor of reincarnation, Su Nian understood the terror of reincarnation better than anyone else.
Those who enter the cycle of reincarnation can alter the future of the world; with enough unwavering will, they can ultimately create the ending they desire.
But after reincarnating a hundred times, Su Nian had come to believe that no matter how many times she reincarnated, the fate of the chosen one was unchangeable.
The fate of the chosen one cannot be changed, but Su Nian's fate can.
If someone were to also enter the cycle of reincarnation and interfere with him, the consequences would be unimaginable for Su Nian.
"Nian'er..."
Su Liuli slowly said, "Did you... once obtain the Three Lives Stone?"
Su Nian: "..."
