Apocalyptic Disaster: The King of Soldiers' Ultimate Pampering

287: Chapter 287 I’m WillingBut she never expected that Yun Chi, whom she dreamed of day and night, whom she waited for every single day and night,

Would return in such a state.

Ye Qingqing had finally waited for her young man.

Even though after that brief meeting, they would be faced with a life-and-death separation.

Yun Chi desperately wanted to hold Ye Qingqing one more time, but he was no longer able to.

Yun Chi, having reverted to his true form, seemed as if all the strength in his entire body had been drained.

He couldn’t even lift his head.

At the very end, Yun Chi sent a mental message to Ye Qingqing.

”Qingqing, don’t be sad. Forgive my selfishness for making you wait so long.”

”I’m sorry, I cannot accompany you on the next part of the journey.”

”Qingqing...”

Seeing Yun Chi in this state, Ye Qingqing instantly broke down into a sobbing mess.

She cradled Yun Chi’s head.

”No!”

”Yun Chi!”

”You can’t leave me!”

”I just found you!”

”Why!”

”Why is this happening!”

But Yun Chi could no longer answer Ye Qingqing.

At this moment, Yun Chi, from head to toe, had completely lost all signs of life.

Ye Qingqing couldn’t believe what she was seeing before her eyes.

She knelt on the cloud layer, her eyes bloodshot as she looked up at the sky.

”Heavenly Dao!”

”Show yourself!”

”Heavenly Dao!”

But no matter how much Ye Qingqing shouted, the Heavenly Dao did not appear.

Yet, Ye Qingqing refused to give up and continued to cry out.

If the Heavenly Dao did not appear for one day, she would persist for one day.

If the Heavenly Dao did not appear for two days, she would persist for two days.

She believed that one day, her sincere heart would move the Heavenly Dao.

She was just a mere human and could not find the Heavenly Dao as easily as Yun Chi could.

However, even a mere human had her own methods.

She still couldn’t understand. She just wanted to be with the one she loved.

Why couldn’t it be accepted?

Thus, Ye Qingqing’s longing and stubbornness transformed into an obsession.

Day after day, she guarded Yun Chi’s body, day after day, she waited for the Heavenly Dao.

Because her obsession was so deep, even if other dragons from the Dragon Clan came, they could do nothing about Ye Qingqing.

Even in death, Yun Chi had to use his own method to protect Ye Qingqing.

Outside the cloud layer he left for her, he had long ago cast a protective barrier.

Dragons of ordinary strength or others simply could not enter.

As long as Ye Qingqing did not leave that cloud layer for one day, the mortal realm would be without sunlight for one day.

She was forcing the issue, she was forcing the Heavenly Dao to appear.

The mortal realm suffered greatly without sunlight. Everyone believed that humans themselves had committed some wrong, thus angering the gods.

Who had sent a dragon to block the sun.

Therefore, more and more people offered sacrifices and worshiped, and more and more people sought atonement.

This collective will formed energy that directly pressured the Heavenly Dao.

Finally, the Heavenly Dao had no choice left and appeared before Ye Qingqing.

”Ye Qingqing, Yun Chi is dead. There is no possibility for you two.”

”Love that crosses species is doomed to have no good outcome. Can you still not understand this principle?”

But how could Ye Qingqing possibly listen to the Heavenly Dao’s words?

She only wanted to save Yun Chi. As long as Yun Chi could be revived, she was willing to pay any price.

If she couldn’t wait in this lifetime, then she would wait in the next.

If she couldn’t wait in the next lifetime, then she would wait in the one after that.

She had lifetimes upon lifetimes.

As long as Yun Chi could be revived, even if she had to descend to the 18 Layers of Purgatory and become a slave of the underworld, she would do so willingly.

The Heavenly Dao looked at Ye Qingqing, deeply understanding that her obsession had reached its peak intensity.

If not intervened, this would bring great trouble to the mortal realm.

After pondering for a moment, the Heavenly Dao finally relented.

”Ye Qingqing, love that crosses species has no result, but if it were the same species, it would be acceptable.”

Ye Qingqing looked at the Heavenly Dao, not understanding what it meant.

Then, the Heavenly Dao slowly spoke: ”The will of heaven and earth has seen your sincere and pure heart, a heart of rare genuineness in this world. Therefore, it has decided to give you and Yun Chi a chance.”

”Yun Chi is dead. This is an indisputable fact. Beyond this world, there is a small world that is disintegrating. If you can save that small world, then you and Yun Chi will still have a chance to be together.”

”However, that small world is already in ruins. If you wish to save it, you must personally enter its situation. Are you willing?”

Ye Qingqing couldn’t care less about the many conditions the Heavenly Dao mentioned. As long as she heard Yun Chi could be saved, she was willing to pay any price.

”I am willing.”

The Heavenly Dao was actually somewhat surprised and spoke up again to dissuade her: ”Do you know the situation of that small world? If you personally enter and still fail to save it, you yourself will die there, trapped forever until you complete the salvation.”

”Moreover, once you arrive there, you will forget all your memories. You will merely be a person within that small world. The probability of altering the fate of that small world is minuscule. Are you still willing under such circumstances?”

After the Heavenly Dao finished speaking, Ye Qingqing’s expression didn’t change at all: ”I am willing.”

”That would mean being trapped there for life after life. Have you truly thought... clearly?”

But before the Heavenly Dao could finish, Ye Qingqing interrupted.

”I am willing.”

Seeing this, the Heavenly Dao couldn’t help but shake its head.

This thing called love truly blinds people.

Could it really reduce infatuated souls to such a state?

Even the Heavenly Dao itself, witnessing the love between Yun Chi and Ye Qingqing, couldn’t help but begin to ponder: what exactly is this thing called love?

Why do so many beings rush forward one after another, just to be with the one in their heart?

Regardless of the cost.

But the Heavenly Dao could not figure out this question.

After all, the Heavenly Dao was destined to be the Heavenly Dao from birth.

And the Heavenly Dao was also a single entity. Even if it spent its entire existence, it could never fathom the mystery known as love.

In the end, the Heavenly Dao sighed deeply: ”Very well.”

”But for this journey, I must tell you: only you can go. And during this process, to prevent the will of that small world from detecting you, you will not remember anything about here. You will forget Yun Chi, forget everything here.”

”I am willing.” Ye Qingqing looked at the Heavenly Dao and repeated those three words once more.

Her gaze was extremely resolute.

”Enough, enough. You may go.”

After speaking, the Heavenly Dao immediately sent Ye Qingqing into that small world.

However, not long after Ye Qingqing entered,

The originally dead Yun Chi suddenly opened his eyes.

But if one looked carefully, it was not Yun Chi’s true body opening its eyes. Instead, a faint, residual shadow appeared above the body.

That was the last wisp of Yun Chi’s consciousness. For a deity like Yun Chi, unless encountering an emergency like the destruction of a world, such a residual shadow would not awaken.
