Chapter 84 The aura of a human emperor can only be acquired by those who possess great destiny.
Xiao Wanxing had been keeping her head down, but the moment she stepped into the hall, she seemed to sense something.
She suddenly looked up—
When her gaze swept over the kneeling figure on the ground, she froze.
She suddenly covered her mouth, "Yu...Yu Bai-gege?"
Her voice trembled and choked with sobs, "How could this be... How did you get here?! What... What happened to you?!"
Looking at Jiang Yubai's soul, which was even more on the verge of collapse than her own, her heart ached.
Shouldn't he be living a good life? How did he end up here?
"Evening Star!"
The moment Jiang Yubai saw Xiao Wanxing, his eyes lit up, but when he saw her haggard appearance, he was immediately overwhelmed with heartache.
He wanted to rush over and hug her, wipe away her tears, and tell her not to be afraid.
But he was held down firmly by the ghost guards, unable to move, and could only struggle in vain, shouting in a hoarse voice:
"Don't cry, I'm okay! Don't be afraid, I'm here with you! Didn't we promise to be together in the next life?"
This tragic scene filled the solemn temple with a profound sense of sorrow.
Even the ghost guards escorting them looked away, somewhat reluctant to do so.
Behind the barrier, Shen Yuepo watched this scene quietly.
Her cool face showed little expression, but her eyes clearly reflected the pain and deep affection between the two of them.
That unwavering determination, that resolute commitment to stay together no matter what, touched something deep within her heart.
Her gaze involuntarily turned to Feng Jin beside her.
He remained seated, his expression indifferent.
Shen Yuepo's fingertips twitched slightly.
The next moment, she did something that even surprised herself.
She reached out her right hand and, through that invisible barrier, gently tugged at the cuff of Feng Jin's wide imperial robe.
Feng Jin seemed to be slightly taken aback.
He slowly turned his head, his dark golden eyes lowered, and fell on the hand that was clutching his sleeve.
Then she looked up and met Shen Yuepo's eyes.
She didn't speak, but just looked at him, her eyes conveying a meaning that couldn't be clearer.
Feng Jin's gaze lingered on her face for a moment before he looked away and turned back down, raising his chin at the two ghost messengers who were holding Jiang Yubai down.
The two ghost messengers instantly understood, released their grip on Jiang Yubai, and even subconsciously took a step back, bowing their heads and standing respectfully.
Unburdened, Jiang Yubai practically scrambled forward and pulled Xiao Wanxing into his arms.
The moment their souls touched, a soft halo faintly appeared, as if even the coldness of the underworld could not erode the feelings between them.
Xiao Wanxing gripped Jiang Yubai's clothes tightly, tears soaking his shoulder: "You idiot... why did you come here..."
Jiang Yubai chuckled softly, his voice hoarse yet gentle: "Because I promised you that no matter where you are, I will find you."
Shen Yuepo watched the two embracing, and silently released the fingers that were gripping Feng Jin's sleeve.
At this moment, Feng Jin's deep and majestic voice drowned out the sobbing:
"Jiang Yubai".
The two trembled as they embraced. Jiang Yubai gently released Xiao Wanxing, but still held her hand tightly. The two turned towards Fengjin together.
Feng Jin's gaze fell on Jiang Yubai:
"You colluded with evil cultivators to murder people. Although there were reasons and circumstances that could be pitied, taking a life and disrupting the balance of Yin and Yang is punishable by the punishment of having your soul scattered."
Jiang Yubai's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he tightened his grip on Xiao Wanxing's hand.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wanxing suddenly looked up and stared incredulously at Jiang Yubai beside her.
Feng Jin lightly raised his fingertip, and the Book of Life and Death appeared and unfolded in the air. "However, Chen Yue Po gives you a soul-protecting talisman to ensure that your remnant soul is not destroyed and can enter the underworld. This is a predestined connection."
"Shen Yurou was bewitched by Mingye, and her actions ultimately harmed herself. She has only herself to blame. Although you went astray, you also managed to resolve the evil cause that Mingye had planted through her by chance. This is a case of merit and demerit balancing out."
Merits and demerits cancel each other out.
These four words were like heavenly music, and Jiang Yubai and Xiao Wanxing tightened their clasped hands.
Feng Jin continued:
"I, the Emperor, will grant you both the privilege of being reincarnated together and entering the cycle of reincarnation."
"However, in your next life, you are destined to suffer some hardships in order to atone for the karmic debts of this life. Do you have any objections to this?"
Jiang Yubai shook his head almost without hesitation and said, "No! Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!"
His voice was choked with emotion, but incredibly firm: "As long as I can be with Wanxing again, I'm willing to endure any hardship! I'll have no complaints!"
Only now did Xiao Wanxing fully understand why Jiang Yubai appeared in this Netherworld and why his soul was so damaged.
It turns out that he was willing to make such a huge mistake for her sake, and even almost lost his soul.
Overwhelmed by immense heartache and self-reproach, she could no longer hold back, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed and cried out in a broken voice:
"You idiot! You big idiot! How could you be so stupid! Didn't I tell you not to seek revenge?!"
She choked back tears and pounded on Jiang Yubai's chest, but he pulled her into his arms.
He patted Xiao Wanxing on the back reassuringly.
Then, he turned to Feng Jin again, his eyes filled with gratitude:
"Jiang Yubai will never forget the Emperor's great kindness! Please also convey our gratitude to Master Shen on our behalf!"
Shen Yuepo, behind the barrier, felt a slight stirring in her heart upon hearing Jiang Yubai mention her.
She looked down at the couple below who had finally achieved their wish after going through so much hardship, and a hint of relief flashed across her cool eyes.
Upon hearing this, Feng Jin's dark golden eyes shifted slightly, landing on Chen Yuepo.
A barely perceptible smile curved his lips, and his voice carried a hint of amusement:
"You really want to thank her?"
He gently pointed his long, slender fingers in Jiang Yubai's direction.
"If you really want to thank her, then give her the faint purple aura that remains on your body. It might be of some use to her cultivation."
Shen Yuepo was taken aback upon hearing this.
Purple Qi —
The aura of an emperor among men is something that only those with great destiny can possess even a trace of, the most precious treasures of heaven and earth.
This item can not only help cultivators break through bottlenecks, but also nourish their soul, making it extremely rare and sought-after in the Xuanmen (Taoist) world.
Because of Shen Yurou's matter, most of the purple aura on Jiang Yubai's body had already dissipated, and now only a thin wisp remained.
Even so, it is a treasure that countless cultivators dream of.
Feng Jin looked at Jiang Yubai, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "How is it?"
Jiang Yubai was taken aback at first, then nodded without hesitation:
"Although I don't know what purple aura is, take it!"
“Master Shen has helped Wanxing and me so much. My only regret is that I didn’t make a will before I died and bequeath all my assets to her. That would be a true thank you gift.”
