They originally thought they would see each other again in seven days, but neither Mo Qianqiu nor Jin Li had expected that their goodbye would be like that.
On the Xuantian Continent, the sun and moon changed, and the sea and land changed dramatically. When the two left the space, what they saw was not the scene of the two races confronting each other, nor the scene of one side winning, but the ending of Xuan Lingzi's death and Luo Jianqing's disappearance.
Mo Qianqiu declared war in anger and sent all the forces of the Demon Palace to search for Luo Jianqing.
On the seventh day, he quietly went to the demon realm with a hint of regret, but when he arrived at Dragon Island, he found that Jin Li had also disappeared.
At that moment, Mo Qianqiu's eyes widened and his face turned pale.
He sat for a long time in a bamboo pavilion in the center of the island, surrounded by rippling blue lake water, green mountains and lush green grass. The world was filled with spiritual energy so rich that it could be touched with one's hands.
Just as Jin Li said, Dragon Island is a paradise on earth.
Mo Qianqiu waited on the island for another seven days, but Jin Li didn't show up. Later, he quietly heard rumors from the demon clan that the Demon Lord Cang Ruo, who had dominated Xuantian Continent 30,000 years ago, was actually Jin Li's father. With an idea in mind, he headed for the far north and soon spotted the azure-clad Demon Lord in the ruins of Kushan Mountain.
Mo Qianqiu flew down without a second thought. He thought everything was the same as before, but when Jin Li raised his eyes and looked at him, his throat suddenly tightened, and all the anxious words he had originally wanted to say were swallowed in his throat.
Mo Qianqiu was silent for a long time, then he hummed softly and said, "You didn't even tell me that you were here. I went to Dragon Island to look for you and waited for you for seven days."
In the center of his clear blue eyes was a tiny, snow-white pupil. Jin Li sat there quietly, looking up at Mo Qianqiu. He said nothing, not a single word, just staring at Mo Qianqiu with his eyes open, causing the latter to slowly stiffen and his face to lose expression.
After a long while, Mo Qianqiu asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"
Jin Li remained silent.
Seeing him like this, Mo Qianqiu became even more anxious, but pretended to be calm and asked, "What's wrong with you, Jin Li?"
Jin Li continued to just look at him, his eyes were calm but seemed to hide something terrifying and overwhelming, making it difficult for Mo Qianqiu to see clearly.
The two of them stared at each other for a full hour. Mo Qianqiu had never thought he had such great patience, but he actually waited. It was the first time he had waited so long for someone and not become so angry that he wanted to kill them.
What exactly happened?
It is obvious that when the two people separated, their relationship was still pretty good, at least they were not speechless to each other.
Why is it like this now?
Mo Qianqiu's heart moved, and he suddenly thought: "...Is it because you know your life experience and it is too painful for you?"
Born without a father or mother, Demon Lord Jin Li cultivated throughout the Demon Realm, only reaching the Ninth Stage was he qualified to enter Dragon Island and become its master. Divine beasts rarely bond with other demon beasts, so Jin Li was a recluse from a young age. The demon beasts dared not offend him, but his lack of strength meant he undoubtedly faced the cold shoulder of many higher-ranking demon beasts.
The young of a divine beast needs the protection of its elders, but Jin Li doesn't have any, so he can only grow up alone.
Thinking of this, Mo Qianqiu couldn't help but understand Jin Li's feelings a little. Everyone in the world thought Jin Li was a dragon egg that appeared out of nowhere, but now, he knew that his father and mother were actually like that. He also knew that his parents didn't really abandon him, but died before he was born.
This kind of gain is more painful than losing.
Mo Qianqiu raised the corners of his lips, revealing a rare gentle smile. He stretched out his hand to hug Jin Li, while still saying stubbornly: "Although they left you a long time ago, they must have loved you. If you are doing well, I think they will be happy too. I am merciful today and will hug you. With me around, you will at least not be lonely..."
“Snap—”
Jin Li suddenly reached out and opened Mo Qianqiu's hand.
The smile on his face froze instantly, and his enchanting peach blossom eyes slowly widened, with an incredible color shimmering in his blood-red and azure pupils. Mo Qianqiu's whole body stiffened as he heard Jin Li say in a cold and ruthless voice, "Leave here."
Mo Qianqiu's fingers trembled slightly, and he actually felt a burning pain where he was slapped.
He gritted his teeth and smiled: "What do you mean? Is our relationship..."
"Not a friend." Jin Li said without thinking, causing Mo Qianqiu to stop immediately.
Mo Qianqiu looked down at him. Under the bright sunlight, a transparent coldness shone on his elegant and noble face. In those azure eyes, he reflected himself, throwing himself into his arms. The owner of those eyes said to him expressionlessly, "Leave here."
Mo Qianqiu's expression darkened. He took a step forward, crushing the stones on the ground. He gritted his teeth and said word by word, "I'll give you one more chance. Tell me what happened, Jin Li!"
Jin Li lowered his eyes and stopped looking at him. This time he looked directly at the broken stones on the ground. Suddenly he stomped his feet, and a force pushed Mo Qianqiu back several steps.
Having lost his heart, Jin Li was only at the late Mahayana stage. However, Mo Qianqiu, having obtained the heart of the divine beast and returned to the aura-rich Xuantian Continent, was able to break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage in one fell swoop. Jin Li's attack did not harm Mo Qianqiu, but simply knocked him away without any defense.
If Mo Qianqiu wanted to, he could definitely defeat Jin Li here. But he stood there, gritting his teeth, and asked loudly again, "What do you mean? I came to you on my own initiative, and you just want to take your heart back, so go ahead and take it. Do you really take me seriously..."
