As the Universe Turns - Chapter 870
Chapter 870 Sunset in the Mortal World
“Ah … Brother Guisi, when did you come?”
Ruoshui covered his mouth with a surprised expression, but Guisi shook his head and smiled, “What? Miss Ruoshui doesn’t call me Little Chelsea anymore?”
‘”Oh” Ruoshui rubbed his chin and thought for a moment before giggling, “Then it’s better to call you Little Chelsea, hahahaha!”
Guisi shook his head and smiled. He then looked at Fu Ling and smiled, “Fu Ling, long time no see.”
“Si … Big Brother Si Que.”
Fu Ling stared at him for a moment before he reacted. He looked in the direction where Xiao Chen had left and muttered, “Big Brother Si Que, just now you said … that Junior Brother Xiao still cares about us in his heart, is … is that true?”
At the end of her sentence, even she herself couldn’t believe it, especially when she recalled his icy cold appearance, she would even feel scared.
Was he really … the same Junior Brother Xiao from before? But these past few years, I’ve heard people say that he is decisive and his killing intent is getting heavier and heavier. Even the characters in Diabolism are afraid of him …
Guisi looked in Lustless Heaven’s direction, took a deep breath, and slowly said, “After all, today is different from the past. Even if he cares, he can’t say it out loud, because now he is the master of Lustless Heaven …”
Hearing this, Qianyu Nichang’s gaze flickered slightly. However, Guisi looked at her and smiled softly, “Nichang Fairy, what do you think?”
Very quickly, Qianyu Nichang returned to his usual icy coldness. “He is the master of Lustless Heaven, and I am a disciple of Xuanqing Sect. What do you think?”
“But do you really think so? Ten years from now, a hundred years from now, a thousand years from now, even thousands of years from now, there will be changes in personnel.” Said Guisi with a smile on his face. “But in your heart, do you really think so? Ten years from now, a hundred years from now, even thousands of years from now, the vicissitudes of life.”
Qianyu Nichang remained silent. Seeing that the atmosphere was originally good, it suddenly froze. Ruoshui smiled and said, “Ah! But Guisi, it’s been three years. Where did you go to play this time? Did you bring any gifts for Senior Sister Fu Ling?”
Guisi smiled and said, “You’re right, I almost forgot about this …”
“Hehe! Have you forgotten or are you embarrassed to speak?” Ruoshui chuckled from the side. Fu Ling immediately winked at her and whispered, “Ruoshui …”
“Ah … I know, I know. Senior Sister Nichang, let’s go over there and find Martial Uncle Uncle Mei and Feng Xiaoyin! Don’t disturb … cough cough cough!”
Ruoshui had a lively and innocent nature, and as he giggled, he held Qianyu Nichang’s hand and went to Mei Jianyi and the others.
Fu Ling remained where he was, his face red like clouds. He lowered his head and said, “Well … Big Brother Sique, Ruoshui has always been very naughty. Don’t listen to her nonsense …”
Guisi smiled and said, “Miss Ruoshui is innocent and cute. How can she be naughty and foolish …”
As he spoke, he took out a small red brocade box from his sleeve. Once the box was opened, a surge of Spiritual Qi immediately overflowed and transformed into white smoke. Within the white smoke, there was a shining pearl. The Spiritual Qi was dense and extraordinary.
“This, this is” Fu Ling’s face couldn’t help but be stunned. She had never seen such a natural pearl with spiritual energy.
‘”This is the East China Sea Dragon Pearl that I accidentally found the year before yesterday. It has extraordinary spiritual energy and can dispel summer heat. It must be very beneficial for you to cultivate with Sister Guisi.” Fu Ling smiled and said, “This is the East China Sea Dragon Pearl that I accidentally found the year before yesterday. I’ll give it to you.”
“This …”
Fu Ling was still a little stunned. He thought to himself that this pearl was so extraordinary. Big Brother Si Que must have spent a lot of effort to obtain it. Was it just to give it to him … Eh, no, what was Big Brother Si Que doing in the East China Sea? Could it be that he was just looking for the East China Sea Dragon Pearl for himself?
Suddenly, she remembered that the other party had mentioned that the East China Sea was actually a fragment left behind after the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World had been shattered …
“What? Sister Fu Ling … don’t you like it?” Seeing that she was silent, Guisi asked.
“Ah, ah …”
Only then did Fu Ling regain his senses. He raised his head and hurriedly shook his hand. “No, no, no, it’s just …”
“Then you can accept it.”
The smile on Guisi’s face was like the warm sunshine in winter. Fu Ling took the pearl from him and lowered his head. “Big Brother Si Que gave me such a precious gift, but I didn’t prepare anything for Big Brother Si Que” he whispered.
Guisi smiled gently and looked at the cliff not far away. He smiled and said, “What do you think of that bunch of dogwood over there?”
Hearing this, Fu Ling raised his head and looked where he was looking. He saw a cornus growing on the edge of the cliff. It was red and stood in the wind. He smiled and said, “So beautiful.”
Guisi smiled and said, “Then why don’t you break one for me?”
“Mm-hmm!”
Fu Ling immediately launched his qinggong and flew to the edge of the cliff. He carefully plucked a dogwood. At this time, Guisi had already arrived beside her. Fu Ling turned around and handed the dogwood over with a smile, “Big Brother Sique, how about this one?”
“Very good …”
Guisi took the cornus from her hand and looked at the red fruits on it. “This is for lunch, the gift from Fu Ling girl …” she said.
“Ah?” Fu Ling was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect that this was his intention. He said eagerly, “But, this, this …”
‘”I can’t keep the autumn light. Full-grade Red Leaf Twilight. It’s past Chongyang again. Where Taichet is coming from, the Cornus Fragrance Pendant. Purple Chrysanthemum Qi, Soaring Court House, Late Smoke Cage Faint Rain. Yong Yong, Xin Yan swallows coldly, her age is similar …”
Guisi, however, stood at the edge of the cliff, holding a dogwood in his hand. He looked at the distant green mountains and muttered softly.
“Big Brother Si Que …”
Fu Ling stood at the side and looked at him, thinking that although Big Brother’s poem had a good artistic conception, why did he always feel an indescribable sorrow hidden in it …
…
“Hehe, Big Brother Si Que, the day after tomorrow will be Chongyang. Shall we go up the mountain to pick the dogwood?”
“Alright, whatever Qing’er likes to do, we’ll go.”
“Wow! Big Brother Siche, look, there are so many over there …”
“Hehe, pick a dogwood and give it to Big Brother Si Que. When Qing’er grows up in the future, she will marry Big Brother Si Que …”
“Silly Qing’er, when you grow up, Big Brother Si Que, won’t you be old …”
…
Xiao Chen and the others had already returned to Lustless Heaven two days later. In the next few days, Xiao Chen was alone in Lustless palace. The entire hall was guarded by 24 people from Night Shade. No one was allowed to approach.
Speaking of which, on that day, his injuries weren’t light. After a long battle with the two elders of Taiyin Palace, the Three Corpse Demon in his body finally awoke again. If he hadn’t awakened at the last moment and forcefully suppressed Three Corpse Demon, the consequences would have been extremely bad.
On the fourth day, Xiao Chen finally walked out of Lustless palace. It seemed that he was fine. Bai Luan and Zi Yuan immediately walked up and cupped their hands. “Excellency.”
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and looked at another mountain in the distance. “Have Wei Yang been here in seclusion for the past few days?” He asked.
“Back to Excellency, Palace Master Wei Yang, I haven’t been here these past few days …”
“Yes, I know.”
Xiao Chen nodded. Then, he took a step and went up to another mountain peak. When he arrived in Wei Yang Palace, he saw flowers blooming like brocades. The ground was full of brilliance, but it was completely different from his Lonely Cold in Lustless palace.
“Your Excellency, you’re here.”
Master of Moon Valley walked out of Wei Yang’s courtyard and smiled softly, “Palace Master is inside. I’m going to Madam Xian Shu’s!”
“Wait …”
Xiao Chen stopped her and asked, “Has Yang Xiaoran sent back news these past few days?”
‘”Mm” Master of Moon Valley thought as he whispered, “It seems like he heard from Madam Xian Shu yesterday that they entered the secret realm, but the secret realm was very big. In the end, the two sects fought inside, and then a few more powerful people came from the Heavenly Gate.”
“Is Daoist Feng Yin among them?”
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s eyes suddenly turned cold. Even Master of Moon Valley couldn’t help but tremble. He nodded lightly and whispered, “From the news that Yang Xiaoran sent back, it seems … it seems like there is Daoist Feng Yin among those people …”
“Yes, I know. You go.”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly. The coldness in his eyes slowly disappeared. Finally, he walked into the courtyard. Inside, he saw that Wei Yang was pruning flower branches. Seeing him enter, Hua Weiyang immediately put down the scissors in his hand and asked, “What were you and Moon talking about just now?”
“No,” said Xiao Chen, “I’m just asking about the situation in Zhongyue Peak.”
“But just now, I clearly felt … a murderous aura.” Hua Weiyang looked at him and said as he slowly walked over.
Xiao Chen didn’t want her to know about Daoist Feng Yin. Over the years, the killing intent on his body had become heavier and heavier. Even though more than ten years had passed, every time he thought about what had happened in the Heavenly Gate, the hatred and hostility in his heart would instantly increase by a lot.
Especially when he thought of Daoist Feng Yin’s last attack on the Blood Restoration Finger, which failed to hit him, but caused Wei Yang to suffer heavy injuries. After all these years, Wei Yang had been tortured by the Blood Restoration Finger, the hatred and malice in his heart would become even heavier.
“Three Corpse Demon, has it been suppressed?”
Hua Weiyang slowly walked over. Xiao Chen nodded his head and said, “The day Three Corpse Demon woke up was not supposed to be that day. It should have been the day when I used up too much energy. That was why Three Corpse Demon woke up early.”
“It’s good that you’re fine now …”
Hua Weiyang’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. A moment later, he opened his eyebrows again and smiled softly, “Oh right, I picked some dogwood on the way back that day. I’ll go get it for you.”
As she spoke, she ran to the inner courtyard and carefully took out the few dogwood branches with a smile on her face. “You see, Lustless Heaven is full of spiritual energy. These dogwood branches haven’t withered yet …”
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen took the cornus from her hand. He suddenly remembered that when he was still in Ning Village, every year during the Double Sun Festival, Ah Niang would also insert some cornus on the door, but now … he couldn’t see it anymore.
“Are you feeling better?”
Hua Weiyang looked at him. Actually, just now, how could she not understand? And over the years, she could clearly feel that the killing intent on his body was getting heavier and heavier. Perhaps it was because of the killing intent in Di Gu Sword, or perhaps it was because of those things back then, but no matter what, the heavier the killing intent in his heart and the heavier the hatred, the faster Three Corpse Demon would take shape …
Therefore, she had always hoped that he could recall more of the happiness and beauty of the past, and not harbor hatred all day long … Don’t end up like Shen Cangming. Even if he took revenge, so what? Even if he obtained everything, he had already lost his soul. In the end, living was just a walking corpse puppet.
How could Xiao Chen not understand all of this? Seeing the dogwood that she had personally picked for him, his mood suddenly became much broader.
Hua Weiyang smiled and said, “This trip to the mortal world actually feels pretty good. Every time I see those flowers and grass on the roadside, I feel happy … The heavens will pity the Secluded Grass, and the mortal world will be sunset.”
Xiao Chen said, “Your favorite thing is the mortal world.”
Hua Weiyang smiled mischievously, “That’s right, but since I met a fool many years ago, it’s not like this. My favorite thing is, there are more …”
“One more thing … what is that?”
“Guess what? Haha!”
Hua Weiyang smiled like the spring breeze and walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back. “That must be the moon in the sky,” Xiao Chen said from behind.
“Idiot! It’s the stars in the sky … What a fool.”
Wei Yang’s loud laughter came from outside the courtyard. Xiao Chen slowly walked out, thinking that she was still as strange as before. Sometimes she liked the stars in the sky, and sometimes she liked the moon in the water.
…
A moment later, the two of them unknowingly arrived at the Secret Devil Cliff. Hua Weiyang suddenly said, “Oh right, there’s something … I want to tell you about that day in Zhongyue Peak.”
“Huh?”
Xiao Chen looked at her and saw her serious expression. He no longer laughed and asked, “What is it?”
“It’s Senior Ku Lingzi …”
Hua Weiyang slowly knitted his brows and said, “That day, Tai Yinsi attacked you. In a hurry, Ku Lingzi sent a soul force towards him and shook him back. But not long after that, I vaguely noticed a trace of weak Spiritual Energy. It seems that someone … noticed Ku Lingzi.”
“Mm …”
After hearing this, Xiao Chen’s expression gradually became serious. He nodded and said, “On that day, I also vaguely noticed that other than Senior Feng Moyao, there must have been someone else who discovered Ku Lingzi. However, that person did not appear in the shadows at that time. He must be an extraordinary person.”
Hua Weiyang said, “Ku Lingzi is from the Four Seas and Eight Desolates. I’m worried that one day … someone from the Four Seas and Eight Desolates will already discover him.”
“People from the Four Seas and the Eight Desolates … If that’s the case, then we’ll have to be even more careful in the future.”
As Xiao Chen spoke, he looked towards Lonely Peak. Although Ku Lingzi’s soul power had broken through, he did not have a physical body. If his soul was captured by someone, it would be extremely dangerous.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the black pond below the Secret Devil Cliff. The pond water surged, and with a “crash” sound, hostility emerged from the water. They rolled their enormous blood-red eyes and looked at the two of them.
Actually, there was an illusion below the black pond. Xiao Chen locked Taiyin Palace in the secret realm. No matter how powerful he was, he would never be able to leave with Hostile guarding this place.
“Wei Yang, you can stay up there. I’ll go down and take a look.”
“Mm …”
Hua Weiyang nodded his head gently. Xiao Chen did not hesitate anymore. He waved his hand and the pool of water immediately surged to both sides, revealing a path in the middle.
Xiao Chen followed this path and arrived at the illusion at the bottom of the pond. Gloomy light floated and there was a faint sound of water dripping. Not long after, he arrived at a stone room.
There was a stone pillar in the middle of the stone room. The restriction on it was quite heavy. At this moment, Taiyin Palace Old man Qingyi was imprisoned on it. All of his acupoints and meridians were sealed. Even if he wanted to escape, it was impossible for him to escape.
Xiao Chen slowly arrived in front of him and said indifferently, “How is it? Have you thought it through …”
“What do you want to know from me? So what if you do?” Old man Qingyi slowly raised his head, his face extremely pale and powerless.
“Back then, why did Heavenless Palace chase after Xiao Zhufeng and Su Rou …”
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s eyes turned cold again. Old man Qingyi’s face turned pale and he smiled, “Do you want to know? Even if you do … so what? Do you want to avenge them? Don’t be delusional. You will never be able to avenge the person who killed your parents in this lifetime …”
