The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 979
Chapter 979 The World Is Silent (2)
When Yin Qianyu heard Li Qing’s words, her face immediately turned pale. She knew that this was Li Qing’s answer, so she lowered her head and said, “It’s Qianyu Menglang. I don’t know what she was thinking, but I beg His Majesty to forgive me.”
“It doesn’t matter. We will still be friends in the future. You can go down.” Li Qing said.
Yin Qianyu quietly put on her clothes and left Myriad Devil Hall. Li Qing was the only one left, enjoying endless loneliness there.
“If I really wanted to find a second woman, I would have already gone to find her. How could I have waited until now?” Li Qing whispered to himself.
He raised his head and his gaze pierced through the void before landing on a small island in the East China Sea.
There was a woman who had been waiting for him for nearly five hundred years.
“Jing Xiang, why are you doing this? It’s been more than 400 years, and you still can’t let it go.” Li Qing sighed.
He took a step forward and disappeared into the hall. Not long after, he arrived at the East China Sea and looked at the lush island below.
Wuyou Island.
Back then, Patriarch Wuyou had long since died. Now, the island master of Wuyou Island was Su Jingxiang.
Just like its name, Wuyou Island was a paradise. She had been living in seclusion here for all these years, living a carefree life.
Li Qing walked into Worry-free Island and easily passed through the formations to stroll through the woods.
Su Jingxiang was very kind. She had adopted many small animals and planted many flowers and plants. Along the way, Li Qing could see cute little animals looming within the lush flowers. He didn’t panic at all when he saw someone coming. Instead, he stared at the stranger with his eyes wide open.
There was a small bamboo house in the forest, and there was a big tree in front of it. Su Jingxiang sat under the tree, holding a book in her hand, quietly reading it.
This was a tranquil scene, so tranquil, serene, and distant.
Su Jingxiang was also old, her head had white hair, and the corners of her eyes had wrinkles. It was also because she was an expert at the Void Realm, and she could still vaguely maintain her previous beauty.
Su Jingxiang suddenly raised her head and saw the figure standing in the distance as if she had sensed someone else’s gaze. Immediately, she was stunned on the spot.
Immediately after, tears flowed out of her eyes.
“You… finally came to see me!” Su Jingxiang said softly.
“Yes, long time no see, Jing Xiang.” Li Qing’s eyes were very complicated.
“You’re still so young and spirited, but I’m already old.” Su Jingxiang’s tears carried a smile.
“I’m sorry!” Li Qing sighed. He took out a Longevity Immortal Pill and said, “Eat this pill and you’ll be able to recover your youth.”
“Is this the legendary Longevity Immortal Pill?” Su Jingxiang said.
“That’s right! Your current cultivation is at the peak of the Void Realm. If you consume this Longevity Immortal Pill, you have a high chance of breaking through to the Dao Realm. Even if you fail, you can extend your lifespan and return to your childhood.” Li Qing said.
“So you only came here today to see that my lifespan is approaching. Did you send me the Longevity Immortal Pill?” Su Jingxiang said.
Li Qing was dumbfounded and didn’t know how to answer.
“If it wasn’t for this reason, would you still come to see me? Would you not have come to see me once before I died?” Su Jingxiang said.
“Don’t think too much. Hurry up and eat this pill.” Li Qing said.
Su Jingxiang slowly shook her head, “Even if I took this pill, so what? Didn’t I continue to endure loneliness and die in endless loneliness?”
“Jing Xiang, don’t get angry. Take this pill first.” Li Qing advised.
“No, I’m not angry. Why would I be angry with you? Brother Li, can you wait for me for a moment?” Su Jingxiang’s face revealed a trace of sadness. Without waiting for Li Qing to reply, she stood up and entered the bamboo house, closing the door.
Li Qing frowned. Looking at the situation, Su Jingxiang clearly had a grudge in her heart and refused to accept his Longevity Immortal Pill.
“Find an opportunity later. Even if it is forcefully stuffed into her mouth, it will still be stuffed into her mouth.” Li Qing thought to himself.
With a creak, the bamboo door opened and Su Jingxiang appeared in front of Li Qing again. Seeing Su Jingxiang’s current appearance, Li Qing’s entire body trembled.
The moment she entered, she had already changed her clothes and was dressed up, looking radiant.
If that’s all, then that’s all. However, the problem was that Su Jingxiang had regained her youthful appearance, her white hair had disappeared, and the wrinkles on her face had disappeared.
“Jing Xiang, you!” Li Qing’s eyes widened. “You stimulated your life potential and restored your state to a young age, but this will greatly shorten your life!”
“I know, but I don’t want to face you like an old man. I want to show my most beautiful side in front of Brother Li.” Su Jingxiang smiled and said, “In any case, I won’t be able to live for many years. Wouldn’t it be the same if I die early and die late?”
Li Qing said with a serious expression, “Jing Xiang, hurry up and take this Immortal Longevity Pill. This will make up for your deficit. Otherwise, there might be a big problem if you are too late.”
“Brother Li, let’s meet again today. Can we not talk about this for now?” Su Jingxiang’s expression was calm. “It’s been a long time since I’ve talked to you properly. Why don’t you accompany me around?”
Li Qing hesitated for a moment and nodded, “Alright! I’ll accompany you for a walk. You must consume the Longevity Immortal Pill later. Don’t refuse, understand?”
“Understood!” Su Jingxiang smiled and said, “Let’s get along just like when we were in Jiangyuan City, okay? You’re just my Brother Li, not some world-shaking Demon Emperor!”
Li Qing nodded his head, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He had owed her too much over the years!
In the following period of time, it was as if they had really returned to the past, forgetting everything that was happening now and wandering around Wuyou Island with a relaxed and joyful mood.
“I still remember that life in Jiangyuan City was the happiest time of my life. When I first met Brother Li, I felt that you were a unique person and attracted my attention all of a sudden.” Su Jingxiang had a happy smile on her face.
“Perhaps that’s fate arranged by the heavens. I just happened to fall into the Misty Forest, and you just happened to go inside to relax. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?” Li Qing said.
“That’s right, this is fate. Later on, you helped me treat the lunar meridians, which proved this point. It was as if you were the messenger sent by the heavens to save me.” Su Jingxiang smiled and said, “Think back to the time when you treated me with a terminal illness. That was our closest experience, wasn’t it?”
Li Qing was a little embarrassed. Back then, when healing her injuries, she needed to take off most of her clothes. It wasn’t just intimacy, she almost broke through the last line of defense.
It could be said that he was certain without any doubt that if he wanted to do something out of line back then, Su Jingxiang would definitely be willing in her heart.
Su Jingxiang said somewhat reproachfully, “Back then, I had specially prepared sexy underwear for this, but you weren’t fooled. Am I so unattractive?”
Li Qing’s expression turned serious, “I am an upright person, how could I do such a thing?”
“Sometimes, I wish you weren’t a righteous person. It would be nice to be a little more playful.” Su Jingxiang said quietly.
“Uh… Well, if I were to be careless, you probably wouldn’t like me anymore, right?” Li Qing said.
“How would you know if you haven’t tried it? Otherwise, why don’t you try it now?” Su Jingxiang said.
“Let’s not try anymore. Let’s talk about something else.” Li Qing laughed dryly.
“I knew you were still the same.” Su Jingxiang muttered. As they slowly communicated with each other, their hearts slowly opened. The atmosphere was no longer as stiff as it was at the beginning, and it became much more harmonious.
Along the way, the forest in front of them gradually became sparse. Soon, a huge garden appeared. Birds sang, flowers fragrant, and butterflies danced. It looked extremely beautiful.
A blurry expression appeared in Su Jingxiang’s eyes as she entered the flower bushes. She was like a flower fairy, carrying an aura of transcendence.
“If I knew that the East China Sea would never meet you again, then I would have followed you no matter what, instead of staying in the East China Sea.” Su Jingxiang walked among the gorgeous flowers with a sad expression on her face.
“Who can predict what will happen in the future?” Li Qing said.
‘”I know that you only love Liu Ke’er wholeheartedly and are unwilling to accept other women. But I don’t understand why you haven’t come back to see me for so many years. Are you afraid that I will affect your relationship with Liu Ke’er?” Su Jingxiang said.
“I just don’t want to miss your life. If I don’t see you for a long time, you might forget about me and find another better person.” Li Qing said.
“But unfortunately, I can’t forget you.” Su Jingxiang smiled bitterly, “Even though nothing happened between us, I don’t know why, but I just can’t forget you!”
Li Qing said, “I originally thought that time could make people forget everything. Only now did I understand that the power of time is not absolute. I underestimated your feelings for me.”
‘”The power of time” Su Jingxiang sighed, “No, the power of time can indeed change everything. When I die, won’t my feelings dissipate? Nothing can escape from time and time!”
“Don’t say such disheartening words. As long as you take the Longevity Immortal Pill…”
Su Jingxiang stopped him and said, “You promised me just now that you wouldn’t talk about this matter for the time being.”
“Alright.” Li Qing was helpless.
Su Jingxiang sat down. In the middle of the sea of flowers, she seemed to have become a part of this boundless and gorgeous scenery. She said, “Actually, did you know that Miss Liu Ke’er came to find me back then?”
“Oh? Have you met?” Li Qing was a little surprised. He didn’t know about this matter.
“That’s right. She came to see me. Miss Liu Ke’er is really beautiful. I’m ashamed of myself in front of her. No wonder you love her so much.” Su Jingxiang said.
“What did you guys talk about?”
“What do you think we’ll talk about?” Su Jingxiang smiled.
“How can I guess?”
“Actually, she didn’t say anything. She hopes to bring me back to Myriad Devil Palace and become your woman!” Su Jingxiang said.
“What? Did she really say that?” Li Qing was a little surprised.
“Yes, because she can see that you feel guilty about me, so she intends to set us up so as not to leave behind any regrets.” Su Jingxiang said.
“And then?”
“Then I refused.” Su Jingxiang said, “Because I can see that this is not your intention at all! Now, it seems that you really don’t know about this matter!”
“That’s right, I really don’t know about this.” Li Qing nodded.
“Do you think I’m really stupid? As long as I agree, I might have a chance to be with you, but I refused in the end.” Su Jingxiang smiled faintly, “Because I don’t want charity, nor do I want pity. I want you to personally accept me, not others.”
“Why are you doing this?” Li Qing sighed, “You must have been very unhappy these past few years, right?”
“No, feelings are not the only thing in life. Even without you, I still have my master and relatives to accompany me. In addition, Big Sister Bingyun has always been by my side.” Su Jingxiang stubbornly said, “Even if I really miss you very much, I still cultivate the Worry-free Secret Technique and can temporarily forget everything!”
“Wuyou Secret Technique … This is also good. Forget everything.”
“Unknowingly, another day has passed.” Su Jingxiang raised her head to look at the setting sun in the distance, bringing with her the last glow that was about to set.
“Yes, I’ve accompanied you for most of the day.” Li Qing said.
“Thank you, Brother Li.” “Can I ask you one last question?” Su Jingxiang revealed a sad expression.
“What’s the problem?”
“Did you really like me in your heart?”
Li Qing was silent and nodded, “Yes!”
Su Jingxiang smiled and said, “I am very happy to hear this answer, regardless of whether you are deceiving me or not! Finally, I have another request, can Brother Li agree to me?”
“What requirements?”
“Hug me!”
“Alright!” Li Qing nodded without hesitation.
Right in the middle of the sea of flowers, the two of them hugged each other tightly, and the afterglow of the setting sun gave them a layer of golden light.
There was no earth-shattering feeling, nor was there any love, hatred, and enmity between life and death. There was only a faint warmth, a pure feeling that had been precipitated over the years.
Su Jingxiang was buried in Li Qing’s embrace and whispered in his ear, “Let me tell you one last secret. Miss Liu Ke’er probably hasn’t died yet. This is what Big Sister Bingyun told me!”
Li Qing’s entire body trembled. Did he really not die? How did Dongfang Bingyun know?
However, before he could ask clearly, he heard Su Jingxiang continue to say, “Bless you and Miss Ke’er for a long time. Farewell, Brother Li!”
Su Jingxiang lightly kissed Li Qing’s lips, then tilted her head. She had actually lost her life aura.
