The deity slammed his fist on the table, “You dare to lie! I will make you vanish into thin air and never be reincarnated!”
"I wouldn't dare!"
Everyone pointed to Xiao Ning, and the God Lord was extremely anxious.
Even though Xiao Ning had an eccentric, aloof, cold, and troublesome personality, she was still her niece. She couldn't believe that Xiao Ning would be so foolish as to dare to release a ferocious beast.
"That brat, why did he run away at such a crucial moment! If he had run away, wouldn't that have confirmed his guilt, leaving him with no way to defend himself?"
The god's face turned bluish-purple with anger.
"Move all heavenly soldiers to capture Qiongqi immediately, quick!!!"
"Bring Si Xing Huan Ning back to me! Even if she escapes to the ends of the earth, you must find her!!!"
The next scene—
The fleeing Qiongqi, drooling, leaped out of the divine realm and rampaged through the mortal world, killing countless mortals.
An unknown continent was shrouded in a deathly stillness and a blood-red cacophony.
Scene interruption —
Consciousness returning to its source —
Someone was calling my name.
"Water God, wake up!"
When Leng Qingning opened her eyes, she saw an old woman with gray hair and a kind face.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw layers upon layers of green mountains, a babbling brook, and clouds and mist swirling around me, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene. The sun and moon shone together in the sky, a truly wondrous sight!
"Who are you?" Leng Qingning asked in confusion.
The old woman replied, "I am the Heavenly Dao Lord of the Hidden World Continent."
"The Way of Heaven?"
"I have cured you of the poison. You owe me a favor and must help me fulfill my wish."
"What is your wish?"
The old woman replied calmly, "The time is not right, it cannot be said."
Leng Qingning nodded. Since she began to awaken her memories of her past life, it seemed that she could quickly accept many things without them needing to be explained.
"Am I in reality or in a dream?" The question seemed to be directed at both the other person and himself.
The old woman laughed loudly, "Hahaha, none of that. You are now in the illusory space constructed by this god. The next time you come here, it will be the time to fulfill your promise to this god."
His hearty laughter seemed to be filled with hope for the future!
Leng Qingning nodded as if possessed, "Okay."
"If you are in mortal danger, I will come to your rescue."
Leng Qingning asked, puzzled, "Why?"
The old woman didn't answer again, but simply waved her hand gently.
"You should go now."
The next instant, Leng Qingning felt her body being quickly dragged away from its original position, and a wave of drowsiness washed over her, causing her to close her heavy eyelids.
"Mmm, that feels so good."
"Sister, you're awake?"
"Wife/A-Ning/Ning-Ning?"
Under the questioning gazes of the others, Leng Qingning sat up abruptly from her deathbed, startling them so much that their mouths dropped open slightly.
The doctor said the poison had already penetrated into their lungs and internal organs, and they still thought...
Only Xiao Ning could tell that the Ten Thousand Insects Gu poison in her body had been cured just a moment ago.
It's strange. This kind of mother Gu poison is clearly not enough to be completely eliminated by magic, so why did my sister suddenly heal herself?
"Sister, your poison?"
"You are... Xiao Ning? What brings you here?" Leng Qingning was both delighted and surprised.
"I want to help you," Xiao Ning said succinctly, thinking she would elaborate later.
Leng Qingning remained silent for a long time before finally snapping out of her excited thoughts, her eyes involuntarily becoming slightly moist.
This was the first time the sisters had met in nearly two thousand years, and Xiao Ning was equally excited.
His usual indifferent expression softened, revealing a hint of longing.
Tears fell without her noticing.
Cangyuan Jiheng was shocked: Xiao Ning can cry?
"Sister, after two thousand years, I have finally met you."
Xiao Ning's voice trembled as she slowly knelt down, her tone utterly sincere: "Sister, I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this! This time, it's my turn to protect you!"
"I will never let you get hurt again."
Xiao Ning broke down in tears.
Leng Qingning opened her mouth, and a tear rolled down her cheek.
Although he didn't know why Xiao Ning would say something like "implicate," he guessed that it might be related to his descent to the mortal realm and his fight with Xiao Ning over the inner core.
At this moment, Leng Qingning's vocal cords seemed to have been removed. She smiled through her tears, holding Xiao Ning's hands tightly, everything understood without words.
The three men wisely kept quiet and wiped away their tears.
Xiao Ning knelt before Leng Qingning, pressing her face against the latter's arms and weeping bitterly.
It took a long time before the crying stopped.
She remembered how her older sister used to hope that she wouldn't feel inferior, always telling her, "You have what your older sister has too. You should be as confident as your older sister and not be afraid of what others think!"
Then, her older sister certainly wouldn't want to see her in such pain and self-blame.
Thinking of this, half of the regret disappeared from his eyes, leaving only sadness.
Xiao Ning straightened up and asked, choking back tears, "Sister, your poison is cured, how did this happen?"
"We'll talk about it later," Leng Qingning replied in a hoarse voice.
"Okay." Xiao Ning nodded obediently.
Upon hearing that the poison had been neutralized, the men's expressions relaxed.
Jin Yan: "A Ning, are you really alright?"
Leng Qingning looked up and said affirmatively, "Brother Yan, I'm fine, don't worry."
Her gaze shifted to the extra man. Leng Qingning was slightly surprised, and after a moment's thought, she asked him gently, "Ji Heng, why did you come along?"
Seeing her look at him, Ji Heng immediately squatted down to meet her gaze, his eyes reddening as he said, "Ningning, I love you, I can't let you go. That's why I came."
“But this place is different from China, you shouldn’t have come.”
Ji Heng explained, "I know, Sister Ning has already told me." He then glanced at Jin Yan and Cang Yuan, his expression remaining relatively calm: "I know you have many husbands here, and I am willing to accept them."
With utmost sincerity, she said, "I... just want to be with you, Ningning. For the past five years, I have thought of you every moment. Rather than losing you forever, I choose to stay by your side, even if it's just being one of the choices."
Leng Qingning was shocked to hear him say that. He was a man from modern society who could accept polyandry.
"you………"
Ji Heng smiled slightly at her with red eyes, her beautiful face reflected in his eyes. His smile was meaningful yet incredibly sincere and affectionate.
"Ningning, I love you." He confessed to her again.
With just one glance, Leng Qingning understood his feelings through his expression, and some words got stuck in her throat but she swallowed them deeply.
Leng Qingning originally thought she had forgotten Ji Heng, but when she returned to the modern world, she knew clearly that she had not completely let go of him in her heart.
However, at that time, she still harbored some resentment towards him, so she cruelly turned him away and chose Wen Yanche over him.
When I think about it carefully, I realize that I also abandoned him once.
I never expected him to come here...
Five years have passed in the modern era, and Ji Heng still loves himself.
At this moment, Leng Qingning was deeply moved by him. All her past resentment had long since vanished.
She immediately smiled and opened her heart to him, saying, "You are willing to cross time and space to find me, so I will certainly not betray your feelings. Besides, I have resented you and even hated you, but I have never let you go."
Though fickle, she is deeply devoted.
