Realms In The Firmament

As Jun Yinglian looked at him, her eyes became softer.

[He must be recollecting the memory of ours.]

[Only the memory of ours can make him lost. Only by being lost in those memories can he show the expression.]

As she thought about it, her lips curled up.

[Is it too late?]

She asked herself.

[No, not at all!]

In fact, she was grateful to the heavens for what was happening!

If Ye Xiao didn’t get through the renascence from that death, even after ten thousand years, he still wouldn’t accept her.

Before death, Xiao Monarch was never able to marry her!

The death of Xiao Monarch, which had broken her heart, actually brought an opportunity for her!

Wasn’t it a good fortune… that Ye Xiao was reborn from death?

At least it was a good fortune for her and her love for Ye Xiao!

She half closed her eyes, trying to pretend her eyes were closed. She didn’t want Ye Xiao to find out she was awake. She just looked below her eyelids to see Ye Xiao’s face.

She had a strange feeling about it.

She felt strange, but not because Ye Xiao had a different face. When she looked at him in the eyes and found the real emotions, the guilt, the coldness... she was sure this man was Ye Xiao, Xiao Monarch!

No matter how his face changed, his eyes never lied. At least it couldn’t lie to her.

Nobody else had such a pair of eyes.

It contained everything in the world and showed a king descending the world.

It cared for people’s suffering, but it disdained the entire universe!

It had fear, but it was afraid of nothing at the same time!

It showed mercy, but it killed decisively!

[It is a much more handsome face though.] Jun Yinglian giggled in her mind.

That was true and even conservative. Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue were two beautiful people. Their genes must be excellent. Ye Xiao, as their son, must be outstanding in appearance. Even though one looked notably better in their lover’s eyes, and even though Xiao Monarch was also a handsome man, Jun Yinglian still couldn’t deny the fact that the new Ye Xiao was much more handsome than Xiao Monarch!

There was a reason why Jun Yinglian could accept Ye Xiao’s new look so readily!

Back in the old days, Jun Yinglian and Ye Xiao seldom had time to stay together. Most of the time when they were together, they were in disguise. These two people together made a team of ultimate troublemakers! As long as the two of them stayed together, there would be a big trouble. They always pissed off some influential people, who then started to hunt them on a massive scale.

Disguise was always the best solution to survive the hunt.

For Jun Yinglian, who barely had much time to stay with him, it didn’t matter what Xiao Monarch looked like.

The only thing she cared about was that Xiao Monarch stayed by her side.

As long as he was Ye Xiao, even if he was uglier, disfigured, disabled, crippled… she would always love him!

She would never dislike him because of the change of his appearance!

For Dao Origin Stage cultivators, to change appearance was the easiest trick.

Feng Zhiling was an example.

Ye Xiao was good at playing a role to disguise himself. Nobody caught his flaws. He was apparently an expert disguiser!

It was never a problem for Jun Yinglian what Ye Xiao looked like!

For her, the most important thing was to be hugged in his arms.

Now, he had finally accepted her!

[He said it clearly! He accepts me! Nothing is standing between us anymore!]

After thinking for a while, Jun Yinglian rolled her eyes and pretended to cough in pain. Blood immediately came out from the corner of her mouth. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Ye Xiao powerlessly.

Ye Xiao was terrified. He hurriedly asked, ”Lian Lian… What… What happened to you?”

[It doesn’t make sense! I have checked her with my spiritual power. She did pass out, and her physical condition isn’t so well, but there should be no severe problem. She was such a dominant cultivator after all. She wouldn’t even feel weak. She passed out only because she was too excited. As long as she calms down and takes a good rest, she will be totally fine… But... What is this? How is she so weak? The blood… She even spat blood… A superior cultivator like her should never have such a problem! Did I miss something? Was I careless when checking on her?]

Jun Yinglian made a weak smile and said, ”I… I am… fine.”

She coughed again and spoke in an even weaker voice, ”Ye Xiao, is this really you?”

”Of course! I am here!” Ye Xiao nodded, ”I am here for real!”

Jun Yinglian gasped as her eyes lit up. ”It is… It is you… Cough, cough…”

”What is happening to you…”

Ye Xiao had no idea what was going on. He was anxious and worried. He didn’t understand why the lady, who was so vigorous and had beaten him up into a pig head earlier, had suddenly become so weak! She was barely breathing!

He hurriedly held her wrist to check her pulse. As he checked on her again, he was so scared that he nearly lost his soul.

What he sensed was that the spiritual qi in Jun Yinglian’s body was in a chaotic status. The spiritual qi couldn’t gather or run. It seemed the qi was disappearing…

It seemed there was nothing that could be done to save her.

[What is going on?]

[Did what happen suddenly break Lian Lian’s heart of cultivation because it all happened too fast and abruptly? She also kept attacking me in full power just now. That consumed lots of her energy. She was so well before the fight. Because of what happened, did her spiritual qi go into disorder? So it was broken?]

Ye Xiao was also an expert in cultivation. He quickly came up with a conclusion. It was the only explanation that was reasonable!

[Holy hell! Heavens and hell… Isn’t this too cruel to me?]
