Chapter 222 Parents' Love (Part 5)
Kunyi had never encountered such a dissolute person before.
She has lived for over ten thousand years, and no one would dare to do such a despicable thing to her without her consent!
She couldn't really kill Qingming, but when he wrapped himself around her like a wet, snake-like creature, she actually got bitten.
Qingming came on strong, but when he actually got close, he wasn't very skilled. He just held Kunyi's cheeks tightly while gently touching her lips.
Like a ferocious wolfhound, it pins its prey to the ground, but only uses its wet nose to poke and sniff around aimlessly.
Kunyi was driven almost crazy by the wet, gentle touches.
Coming to her senses, she raised her hand and stretched towards the shore. With a "hum," the long sword was pulled out of the soil and returned to her palm.
The next instant, it was placed on Qingming's neck.
"Back off!"
The cold, sharp blade pressed against his vital point, and the "madman" Qingming finally stopped moving, his palm sliding down.
Kunyi's face was covered in black energy that seemed to solidify into a tangible form. She glared at him and said, "If you dare to do it again, I'll send you into reincarnation!"
Her lips felt like they weren't her own anymore, and underwater she could feel the hands that were tightly gripping her waist, never letting go.
The two remained close together, a posture that Kunyi herself found awkward. Despite her fierce demeanor, she was actually quite timid, and her tone inevitably betrayed a hint of panic.
Qingming seemed to have suddenly evolved into a lecherous demon. His lips stopped, but he still clung to Kunyi, using his bright eyes to scorch the wet, rarely seen Kunyi in his arms, who was showing a hint of dishevelment.
"You like me."
With a knife held to his neck, Qingming uttered wild words and stared intently at the goddess who had fallen into the water in his arms, repeating, "You like me."
Kunyi: "..."
Qingming was afraid that he might be possessed by something.
That's right, Qingming has been acting strangely these past few days, Kunyi never expected it!
Kunyi's expression was solemn. She raised her hand and instantly sent her spiritual energy into Qingming's mind platform. Her divine sense condensed in his mind platform and sea of consciousness. She drew her sword, intending to kill the lewd and depraved demon that had driven Qingming to act so wantonly, but she looked around in confusion.
They withdrew after a short while, both with slightly flushed cheeks and unsteady breathing.
The mountains and rivers flow gently, and the sunlight shines brightly.
The stream water was cool, but the two people in the water were embracing each other, their bodies burning hot.
Qingming lowered his eyes and stared intently at Kunyi, saying, "How can you be so domineering? You never even ask me before forcing me to communicate with you spiritually?"
Qingming stared intently at Kunyi's damp brows and eyes, pressing her aggressively: "Spiritual communion is something only Daoist partners can do. Don't tell me you didn't know that; I don't believe you."
Kunyi frowned, her expression slightly pausing.
She knew.
She did it with ease because it was the fastest way to check the other person's mental state, and besides, she and Qingming were husband and wife.
However, she forgot about Qingming in this life, and had no memories of the two of them.
This is their first meeting in this lifetime.
Come to think of it, it seems that she was the one who was forcing things.
Kunyi hesitated for a moment, and Qingming immediately seized the opportunity.
"From birth until now, I'm still a naive young man, completely ignorant of love, yet you've forced me to merge my soul with yours several times. Don't try to get away with it!"
Qingming's face lit up with joy, and he lowered his head to gently brush the bridge of his nose against Kunyi's furrowed brow.
“You won’t tell me your age, so you must be older than me. Anyway, you have to take responsibility for me. Don’t try to fool me just because I’m young!” he said again.
His heart was pounding, and his joyful voice was deafening.
He refused to give Kunyi any chance to back down or argue, and added, "Besides, your teleportation jade tablet is right on the shore. It's not that you can't leave, it's that you stayed in this dangerous place for my sake, right?"
Kunyi felt her hair stand on end from Qingming's rubbing against her.
Upon hearing this, he instinctively looked towards the riverbank.
Beneath the long robe scattered on the shore, a corner of gleaming white peeked out—it was the communication jade token used to exit this secret realm.
Kunyi had no intention of hiding it, since no one could get close to her.
She did stay in this dangerous place for Qingming's sake.
She was born for Qingming.
"We've never met before... You've fallen for me at first sight, haven't you?"
Qingming recalled that many days ago, when she first met Kunyi, she stood atop a spirit beast with her sword horizontally across her body. With a light flick of her blood-stained sword, droplets of blood turned into lava and burned into Qingming's eyes.
He also fell in love with her at first sight.
“Me too…” Qingming chuckled softly, pausing for a moment with a touch of embarrassment.
The young man wandered the world, experiencing all its dangers, yet he never truly fell in love.
He said, somewhat awkwardly and bluntly, yet with a mixture of unrestrained and subtlety, "I was also captivated by you at first sight."
Kunyi: "..." She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
The worry between her brows was wiped away, and a look of bewilderment that should never have appeared in her eyes filled her gaze.
She is also a lightning spirit in this life, but because her immortal veins were suppressed during her tribulation, she has never fully awakened.
At this moment, tiny currents of lightning seemed to surge through her heart, her veins, her hair, and her skin.
This gave her the illusion that she still held the Five Thunders in her hands, connected with the Thunder Spirit, and could sweep across the heavens and earth.
Her longsword was still held against Qingming's neck, but it no longer had the strength to deflect it.
No matter what she becomes, she will always be Qingming.
He was neither possessed by anything nor corrupted by possession. Although he was frivolous and dissolute in this life, he could still be considered to have the mind of a young man.
Qingming looked at Kunyi and saw that her eyes were no longer fierce. He knew that he had guessed correctly this time and won the bet.
Fellow Daoist Kunyi, I do not intend to kill and plunder.
She wants him.
Very good.
He is too.
Heaven finally smiled upon him.
He was willing to exchange all the hardships and dangers of his past life for the goddess in his arms at this moment.
He lowered his head, pressing down on the sword's edge, and caressed Kunyi's soft, smooth cheeks with his fingers, closing his eyes and reverently pressing them against hers once more.
He gently parted his teeth and slowly entered the secret realm he had never set foot in before.
In an instant, the mountains collapsed, and the soul was scattered and lost.
Kunyi tightened her grip on the long sword, and a moment later she fell into the water.
She gripped Qingming's shoulder with her fingers, her eyes filled with complex emotions, but despite her efforts, she couldn't push him away.
Kunyi sighed one last time, and slowly closed her eyes as her breath mingled with Qingming's.
That's all.
When he ascends to heaven and regains his memories of the past, he will naturally return to his former appearance.
Kunyi recalled their first meeting in the Heavenly Realm.
At that time, she joined the Thunder Department and became a Thunder General. She traveled throughout the myriad realms, acting swiftly and decisively, punishing the wicked and upholding justice.
After returning from her official duties, she heard that the Thunder God wanted her to marry Qingming, the then-Crown Prince of Heaven.
She had heard of Qingming, but because she had traveled through countless worlds over the years, she had only seen him once from afar at a celestial banquet a thousand years ago. She had never looked closely at him and had long forgotten his appearance.
Kunyi was naturally unwilling.
Although she belongs to the orthodox ancient immortal clan, she has never accepted the tradition in her heart. She feels that the ancient immortal clan's inheritance has many drawbacks and should be overthrown.
Moreover, she has been tirelessly cultivating immortal arts day and night, traversing countless realms, and has ascended to the position of Thunder General. No one can force her to do anything she doesn't want to do.
Fortunately, she had asked Da Ju, a kind-hearted man with countless friends in the Six Departments, to inquire about the matter. He learned that Qing Ming, as the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Realm, was a man of his word and disdained the idea of consolidating his position through marriage with the Thunder Department.
Kunyi had exchanged official positions with someone, and while performing official duties in the Qingming mortal realm, she gained the opportunity to travel to the mortal realm with him.
Kunyi wanted to talk to him about how to jointly resist the arranged marriage.
But they didn't discuss anything that time.
They didn't exchange a single word from beginning to end, only a few brief glances.
That official post was to rectify the celestial orbit. Several other people descended to the mortal realm with him, most of them to gain experience and seniority by following this celestial prince. They descended into the desolate mountains of the mortal realm in the dead of night, using a miniature star-rotating yin-yang sundial to adjust the star chart. Kunyi, as the thunder spirit position guarding the array's core, was even far away from Qingming.
After her brief mission together ended, her marriage to Qingming was arranged.
It wasn't because of the orders of the immortals.
It's not because they've resigned themselves to their fate.
It wasn't because of their friends' dissuasion, who said they were a match made in heaven and would surely have a child with boundless divine power.
Rather, it was because they fell in love with each other at first sight the moment they saw each other in the mortal realm.
When ordinary people talk about love at first sight, they are nothing more than lusting after a mere three inches of skin on a skeleton.
However, the love at first sight of immortals can penetrate the skin and see the true form and soul.
Souls that resonate with each other in this world are like the two poles of Yin and Yang. Even if one of them loses a part, even if they lose their memories in reincarnation, even if they are separated by countless worlds by some twist of fate, they will be able to fit together perfectly the moment they see each other, like mortise and tenon joints, with the sky and the earth supporting and complementing each other.
Just as a single encounter between the golden wind and jade dew surpasses countless encounters in the mortal world.
The flowing water washes over the souls that have reunited across countless worlds, their lips entwined in joyful embrace, like a pair of mandarin ducks with their necks intertwined. No matter how the world changes or how time flows, their love remains eternal, unwavering until death.
This beautiful scene was shrunk infinitely, eventually settling on a tiny spy camera.
It is held by a hand with fingers like bamboo and smooth veins, and is rotated in real time in a palace on the celestial steps.
However, a magical spell quickly descended, blocking the artifact from probing.
Within that slender hand, another pair of delicate, jade-like fingers were perfectly clasped together.
"Stop looking, or you'll be doing something indecent."
The story of our parents' love ends here. [Laughing]
There are other side stories, but I'm taking care of my health and will update them as I feel like it.
