Within the void, the eyes of the body called ng Xue opened.
It was as if sothing had purposefully stirred her. A wisp of intent that she shouldnt have felt, carried within a warning!
Her brilliant pink eyes searched the netherworld for the signs of her beloved. Though her current body was weak, her authority was absolute. Within seconds, she glimpsed at the silhouette of an insignificant eel.
She was about to ignore the unappetizing fish, but her intuition thought otherwise. She used the fundantal laws to transfer the body called ng Xue to the netherworld.
Instantly, the mutant eel started struggling, which resulted in ng Xue cutting off its tail.
{Behave, little fish.}
Through the currents of fate, a na suddenly appeared in her mind.
{So you are nad Sebastian. Behave, little Sebastian.}
Just as Sebastian was going to make a last stand while sending the remains of its young masters world, ng Xue spoke once more.
{My husband would be proud to see you like this, little Sebastian. His blood wasnt wasted on you. Hmm Where is it}
Sebastian rembered her!
Wasnt she present, wasnt she near its young master before Sebastians tamorphosis?! Husband? Was she the young masters husband?!
Unfortunately, the unknown being? had already obliterated nearly half of Sebastians body. What was happening? Why was she here? Why did she attack? All those questions completely eluded Sebastian. Simply staying alive was an arduous task at that mont! The pressure emanating from the beings body was almost unbearable!
anwhile, ng Xue scanned the remnants of the primitive array. And found out why her intuition? Yes, it should be her intuition that had warned her! She found out why her intuition warned her!
There was a woman, that smiled at her husband! And her husband smiled back!! At the woman!!!
Suddenly, all reason left her.
{ Mu Qingge?}
She wiped her existence off the universe. Completely. From past and the future.
Even though Sebastian was struggling to stay alive, it still shuddered at the scene.
{He was only confused. He is still sleeping. Yet to wake up. If he rembered he wouldnt have smiled. How dare she smile back at my darling!!!}
She who had freckles, had worked on a restaurant. ng Xue turned that place into dust.
{Once he wakes up, we will be together again. Yes, it is only a matter of ti. No one can stop it! No one can stop it!!!}
The restaurant was inside a city, where other insects were present. Did they play a role in this? ng Xue couldnt take any chances, otherwise her heart may experience an imbalance in the future!
The city and its past and future residents, she wiped their existence too.
{He will awaken this ti. Yes, he will. I will protect him. I will make sure. I will. Make. Sure!!!}
On the side, Sebastian gathered its last bit of energy, to send a ssage.
|This place important to young mast-|
ng Xue grasped the eels head with her hand.
{You dare call my darling that?!}
However, once she understood the contents of the ssage, she faltered.
{Important? Why would this wretched place be important? Is it because of her? No, he only smiled because she smiled. Maybe he didnt smile at all. Yes Yes! How could he forget ?}
Her husbands current body was born on this primitive array. ng Xue rembered. Her grasp over the disgusting fishs jaw weakened.
{}
If this place was important to her husband, then it was important to her!
She stared at the dying thing in her hands and spoke with sheer disgust.
{Weak!}
Her husband had given this fish his precious blood, and even elevated its existence. How would he react if she killed his pet? She couldnt make a mistake, not when she was this close!
Though the body her sliver was inhabiting was weak, it did have a netherworld bloodline. Therefore, she slashed the bodys heart and let a single drop of blood essence out.
Perhaps due to her body being young, she couldnt help but blush. She was doing the sa thing as her husband! Maybe this Sebastian wasnt just his pet now, but their pet instead!
{So romantic!}
* * *
While on her way back to the Wen family estate, Wen Jiayi was intently waiting for the 1903rd chapter of the I Got Betrayed by Celestials, Was Cast out From Heavens, but by Using My Peerless Blacksmith Skills I Will Get Everything Back. Celestials, Feel My Wrath! Heavens, Bow Before ! I Am the Peerless Divine Blacksmith God!.
With her brilliant pink eyes, she watched the tir like a hawk. Once it reached 00:00, she opened up the new chapter without delay.
Yu Xian, the serial scumbag, was forging a new weapon. Wen Jiayi paid special attention to the weapons materials. Because the last dozen chapters gave excruciatingly detailed history of those items!
Ashes of the first Phoenix, a strand from the 3rd petal of the True Rebirth Lotus, blood crystal of an interdinsional higher being, fresh essence from the sages ascendance, and
The final, hidden material, Yu Xian finally brought it out from his storage ring. He had a content smile on the next panel.
Spiritual Osmium will be the perfect base for this halberd!
Wen Jiayis eyes opened wide! From shock! Finally! That strangely nad tal!
Unfortunately, her enthusiasm was cut short. In the next panel, Yu Xian raised his head and looked towards the sky with a frown.
The night sky suddenly brightened as if a new sun was born!
Senior Yu Xian. It has been a while.
Yu Xian narrowed his eyes and seed to be contemplating on sothing. His answer ca on the next panel.
Little brother He. Why dont you co down here so we can properly speak.
The response from the little brother He was imdiate!
Clouds started to dissipate, illusory flowers blood, sacred cranes flew in the background, saints sighed, auspicious beams of light granted extended life and Dao understanding to all that it touched upon
anwhile, on the next panel, Yu Xian kept watching the descent of little brother He with large black glasses.
6 panels later, when the so-called little brother finally showed himself, the scene was filled with *Shalala* texts.
This was a new developnt. Wen Jiayi had no idea what *Shalala* ant. Was it a sound effect for spiritual waves? She thought that might be the case, since Yu Xians clothes were disheveled, and his spine was bent backward. He was clearly enduring a great deal of pressure.
Little brother pays respects to the senior.
You dont have to do that. Our ages are similar too, you dont need to call senior.
Yu Xian helped his little brother He up in a hurry. Only then the light surrounding the said brother subsided, and Wen Jiayi got a clear look at him in the next panel.
Because of the simple art style of the graphic novel, when a character with good looks appeared, they would end up displaying similar mannerisms. This little brother He was no exception.
So he is an evil character that will betray Yu Xian later? Hmmm. Not bad.
Aside from the handso-bad-guy smile, he had relatively sophisticated yellow robes. Perhaps there really was an insignia on the robe, but the art of the graphic novel showed it as random twisted lines.
After realizing the truth, Wen Jiayi started paying special attention to peoples clothes, just in case she could spot sothing. Due to the detail inconsistency within the novel, she couldnt find anything so far!
On the next panel, little brother He rejected Yu Xians courtesy.
How could I do that? My brother taught to always respect seniority!
The little brothers face turned serious as he gave yet another salute. Yu Xian removed his black glasses and subtly shook his head.
Little brother, you shouldve been handling the matters of your family. Has sothing happened that made you personally ca over?
Senior is correct. It is because of a family matter that I am here.
Yu Xian sighed. Then we shouldnt talk here.
Over the next few panels, Yu Xians palace ca to view. This was a first, usually the author relied on displaying the sa set of buildings over and over again, rather than showing a birds eye view.
Looks like he made it similar to the 4th primordial era designs.
If the graphic novel was truly accurate to this degree, then Wen Jiayi wasnt surprised. Though rare, this type of design was still in use. Even the Han family celestial ship had it. All of Han Des disciples abodes were like that.
Normal readers of this graphic novel wouldnt have noticed the origins of this design. Wen Jiayi found the situation rather amusing. Perhaps despite being a serial cheater, Yu Xian hadnt forgotten his roots!
They arrived at what she assud to be the private cultivation chambers of Yu Xian. She couldnt understand why the environntal art was suddenly so detailed, but since it wasnt a new developnt, her attention went back to the plot.
It seems I have underestimated this new characters importance
Normally, Wen Jiayi wouldve rolled her eyes, since she wouldve thought the author was introducing yet another random character! Of course, now that she knew the truth, these inconsistencies and pacing issues didnt phase her any longer. The life of a cultivator was long and unpredictable.
The Grand Separation Array is now active. Little brother, speak freely.
Little brother He bowed once again.
Senior. This matter is regarding my brother. I humbly request your assistance.
Though he was bowing, the little brother Hes eyes were narrowed, and there was a dangerous glint within them.
Yu Xian closed his eyes, sighed, then shook his head.
I dont know where he is. Why dont you try them instead?
Senior, do you really think I didnt?
Yu Xian thought Of course you did. How could a bro-con like you not look at every nook and cranny?
This was yet another new term for Wen Jiayi. What did bro-con an? Also, who did they ant with Them?
Two n sat down at the center of the array at equal levels. Wen Jiayi raised an eyebrow once again. The arrogant Yu Xian was giving a trendous amount of face towards his little brother He. Why was that little brother so insistent on showing so much deference to Yu Xian then? Instead of thinking about it, Wen Jiayi continued to read.
In the next panel, Yu Xian secretly sent a voice transmission to his 9th wife, though the contents werent shown, the 9th wife, Zhong Luli, imdiately grabbed her treasured whip and disappeared!
Inside the cultivation chambers, little brother He spoke.
Other seniors are also worried, but they said they promised my brother and could not look for him, no matter what.
Yu Xian frowned. Did they really followed that order? And what about your family?
I dare not to presu seniors thoughts. As for the family, at the mont they do not know. I thought Senior Yu Xian might be different, since you have left the Whispering Realms long ago.
Yet another secret voice transmission, this ti Yu Xian spoke to two protectors of his sect. Both reacted the sa way and imdiately vanished with fierce expressions.
Im afraid little brother travel ca all the way for naught. I, like others, have orders not to interfere.
Is that so, senior
The disciples, the soldiers, the artisans, have all vanished from the city, sect, and Yu Xians palace. The realm that was bustling with activity just a few pages ago, was now deserted.
I thought for sure my brother wouldve contacted senior Yu Xian. He always praised your deep understanding of Dao, and your relentless spirit.
Yu Xians frown grew deeper as his little brother continued.
Did you know he replaced his soul light?
What?
A thin, but violent looking spiritual energy covered the body of little brother He.
I know, it is unthinkable, isnt it? When did he do that? Why did he do that? Thankfully, mother hadnt found out about it, for now. Can you imagine how would she react?
Panel by panel, the spiritual energy covering the little brother expanded.
That soul light was her only way of knowing that my brother was safe. When she missed him she would look at it, when she had a bad dream, a bad feeling, when she was sad, when she was happy, she would look at it.
Obviously thats you, since she would never do that. Yu Xian thought. He sighed, then spoke with a slightly sad smile.
You were like this when you were little too. Always my brother this, my brother that.
A succession of flashback panels showed a child with big shining eyes, excitedly running to Yu Xian as he was forging a weapon. With his absurdly big yellow robes, the child had even tripped and fallen in the last panel, but even that couldnt deter him.
Shenior Yu Shian! Shenior Yu Shian! My browher said: A Cultivatrs greatest shtregnth, is patience!
Shenior Yu Shian! Shenior Yu Shian! My browher said: Remind yourshelf that overconfidnce is a shlow and inshidious killer.
Shenior Yu Shian! Shenior Yu Shian! My browher said: Hope is the first shtep on the road to dishappointnt!
Shenior Yu Shian! Ow! Ow! Shenior Yu Shian! My browher said: The rwight mann in the wrong place, can make all the diffference, in the world.
Wen Jiayi fell into deep thought. Was this little brother He a relative of a future disciple? Currently, Han Des only male disciple was Yu Xian. If so, then the Them should be other disciples.
Was he going to get a disciple from the primordial families? A soul light was in a completely different realm than a soul shard. Even in primordial families, only extrely important heirs would be given the privilege of having one. In the entire Wen family, only Wen Jiayi had a soul light. Not even her father had one in his youth!
Senior. Do you know where my brother is?
Yu Xian shook his head.
Your words do not match your actions, Senior. If you really dont know, why did you evacuate your people?
Now, Yu Xian had the sa cold glint in his eyes.
Sa reason as you, little brother. Sa reason why you brought countless experts at my doorstep.
Intense, red-colored spiritual waves started to co off from Yu Xian. Two n stared at each other, as if they were battling through their thoughts.
They werent the only ones in a standoff. In an unknown location, experts wearing Yu Xians tallic gray robes were shielding the disciples from nurous grim-faced silhouettes wearing yellow robes.
The next panel showed a collection of disciples and elders, in yet another unknown location.
Elder Shu! The hidden exit is about to open!
Grey bearded elder smiled confidently.
This passageway is not ordinary. It is said that the patriarch himself has opened it countless years ago! It doesnt have a pre-determined exit! We shall use this to our advantage to strike at our enemies at the first opportunity! Hmph!
Disciples and elders alike, nodded at his words as their eyes burned with determination.
The door opened, but unexpectedly, on the other side, there were thousands of yellow-robed experts waiting for them. Elder Shus face turned unsightly, and he started sweating from sheer cultivation pressure alone.
The next succession of panels showed 12 different groups, so in space, so inside subterranean chambers, so in the netherworld, all encountering impossible numbers of experts blocking them.
Back in Yu Xians private cultivation chambers, little brother He gave an ever so slight bow. Senior need not take offense. This little brother is only acting cautiously.
Wen Jiayi stopped reading. She went back and re-read the previous 4 pages. Then she read them again.
How cowardly could you be?!
What kind of self-respecting cultivator would completely evacuate their sect?! They didnt resist at all! Not even for a second! How could anyone leave at the first sign of trouble?!
Her desire to throw the jade slate into the wall rose significantly. Worse of all, neither the disciples nor the elders disapproved of the situation. It was the opposite! Which ant that this was a systematic problem!
Back in the graphic novel, Yu Xian kept his eyes closed as he spoke. The last news of him, I received through my howorld. A beacon of sorts, giving orders to the mortals, advising their developnts.
When?
Just over 200 years ago. The beacon itself is much, much older.
200 years ago? Wen Jiayi recalled the ti skips and calculated the chapter number.
That should be around Chapter 101. When Fan Cai and Yu Xian visited his howorld
Wen Jiayi re-read the last panel a few tis, because the implications were too great to ignore. The only news Yu Xian received on his howorld was about his master, Han De.
Long Xiu and Han Wei will have another child? Another son?
Conceiving Han De was nothing short of a miracle. A miracle that required untold thousands of years of preparations, and even required fate to be aligned! Quite literally!
Could it be sothing else, sothing the graphic novel didnt show?
Normally Wen Jiayi wouldve rolled her eyes and think that this was a new shoehorned developnt. Every hundred chapters or so a new one would appear, introduce a new throwaway character, and a throwaway problem. In the end, Yu Xian would solve everything and life would go on, for anyone but Yu Xians enemies, of course.
However, Long Xiu having another son was different. According to the Long family planning program, Han De was a unique offshoot, a near miss. If this new son fulfilled the Long familys requirents, the entire family could leave the Whispering Realms altogether!
As she stared at the graphic novel, Wen Jiayi thought maybe they already did in the future.
The Long family didnt explain their end goal to Wen Jiayi, but the contract they made was ironclad. Even if they fulfilled their purpose through unexpected circumstances, nothing could endanger the contract.
If this little brother He ets their criteria, they wont have a need for Han Des offspring
Wen Jiayi felt uncomfortable, and hurriedly turned her attention back to the graphic novel. Little brother He seed quite distraught in the next panel.
Why didnt you send a ssage? Arent you an elder? Did you ever think of your brother and sister disciples?!
To the frowning little brother He, Yu Xian calmly smiled. Little brother, Im not hiding my cultivation. This is my true cultivation base.
Little brother He looked surprised at first. As he inspected Yu Xians body though, his face darkened. Senior, what happened?
This matter, I will see to it myself.
Senior Yu Xian. You of all people should know, that isnt good enough.
Little brother He stood up, it was as if he wasnt the one that threatened Yu Xian just a second ago. The latter seed to have expected the forrs response and continued.
Sit down. I have my own considerations, and this matter is personal. Since it is you, I will tell you a small part of it. If you still insist on involving the Imperium, then I will not oppose.
Wen Jiayi was surprised. Little brother He was acting as if Yu Xian had lost his cultivation base. Suddenly, an idea ca to her mind!
?! Is he referring to the title of the graphic novel?!
Was she finally going to see the main plot unfold after 1903 chapters?!
This
But this wasnt a novel. Wen Jiayi found this feeling quite vexing at tis. She was, in the end, reading about the life of Yu Xian. A real person. A disciple of her husband. Future husband
However, after 1903 chapters, she was quite curious. The background of the novel also involved the future. Not only of the Whispering Realms but the person that she chose as her husband!
In the next panel, little brother He went back to his seat, and Yu Xian expressionlessly started explaining.
Long before master left, I felt doubts in my cultivation. Though now I see I couldnt admit this at the ti. As this doubt grew, master naturally noticed my hesitation, and gave advice. But I was headstrong, and didnt heed his words.
After he left, so did I. To places far away, where the influence of the Imperium hadnt reached. There I fancied myself a god reborn. Disposed of the unworthy, and beca the heavens. My cultivation advanced leaps and bounds. I was at the cusp of elevating my existence
But
Yu Xian chucked.
Just as master predicted, I was betrayed. Cast out from the heavens, I fell. But thanks to the masters teachings, I wasnt dead. I bided my ti, I still do.
This isnt even the first ti. Before I t master, I was betrayed and my soul was nearly extinguished.
Seeing his little brothers fierce expression, Yu Xian shook his head.
The ones that betrayed were my friends, confidants, even wives. This debt, I will naturally collect, just as I have done so in the past. And through it, I will polish the imperfections of my Dao.
You see why I didnt want to involve elder sisters?
Little brother He had a complicated look. Yes. Now that my brother is missing, nothing can stand in their way.
Yu Xian knowingly nodded.
The matter with the master Dont poke too deeply into it. Master has designs within designs. Everything is within his considerations. Even leaving a beacon on my howorld could be a sign for you. He would know that you would eventually find , and wont leave without an answer.
Now now. Dont frown. My howorld is being protected by that. If you get excited and wreaked havoc, how do you think your brother will respond?
Then what could he be doing all this ti?
It looks like he really is Han Des brother. To be distraught by separation This Han He seems to be quite fond of him
Wen Jiayi couldnt understand this so-called Han He, but she still appreciated his loyalty.
As a response to Han He, Yu Xian shrugged. Then, as if sothing ca to his mind, he smiled. Perhaps he is alternating between achieving his designs, and playing around.
Playing around?
Yu Xian had a reminiscent smile. Perhaps there was a tinge of guilt within as well. Yes. Master was always busy after establishing the Imperium of Light. Now that he is away, he could have as much fun as he desires with mortal girls.
Senior Yu Xian, do you think I wont do anything as you insult my brother?... With a mortal girl?
Han He wasnt having it. Spiritual energy started gathering around him once more. Wen Jiayi also approved his actions. Yu Xian was simply too much this ti!
Yu Xian showed surprise at first, but a mont later, a aningful smirk appeared on his face. To think that you would have no idea of your brothers preferences after all this ti Hahahaha
You!!!
Hahahahaha Calm down. Calm down! Why would I insult my master? I am only speaking the truth. Before you were born, master used to chase mortal girls. He especially liked freckled ones.
My brother would neve-
In front of his disciples? In front of his little brother? No. A man, a master, a brother has his pride. How could he show that side of himself to you? But, in the end, master is also a man. And every man has their own preferences. Ive seen him chase three different mortal girls in the sa day.
In the next panel, was a freckled girl in extrely simple clothes, holding the nonexistent arm of a ball made of light. Both the girl, and the light ball were blushing as they gazed at each other!
Wen Jiayi instantly recognized that the ball of light was supposed to represent Han De.
*crack* *crack*
*CRACK*
Han De liked freckles? Freckles?!
Wasnt that the disguise Wen Jiayi put on when she t him for the first ti? Didnt she adjust her cultivation to Qi Condensation with no talent? Back then, she was essentially a mortal girl with freckles!
No wonder No wonder he was so infatuated that day!!
And he went out to find mortal girls? Not one, but three on the sa day??
*CRACK* *CRACK*
Though Wen Jiayi was applying a considerable amount of pressure to the jade slate, the only thing she was achieving was cracking her knuckles.
She chose him. She. Even if their marriage was for an alliance, both of them had to act with a certain amount of decorum! This was simply throwing away her dignity!!
The chapter was almost over with only two panels remaining. Wen Jiayi controlled her senses and continued reading them.
I dont know why master likes mortal girls with moles or freckles. Maybe his white moonlight was like that, and he is trying to forget his regrets. Who knows
My brother grew up in the old Han family sect. How could he et a mortal girl, let alone fall in love with her?
To Han Hes furious and disdainful look, Yu Xian shook his head.
Before Imperium beca a powerhouse, master used to create special training illusions. Only the original six disciples know of their existence. One day, master scrapped them all without giving any reason.
My howorld is the only evidence that they existed.
You should ask of this to elder sister Yao Qing, and let her know. There may be a reason as to why master is so concerned with the lives of mortals.
I will not speak of this anymore, as our cultivations are too low these matters. Nothing good will co from interfering with masters affairs. This, I know from experience.
The chapter had ended in the classic fashion. Wen Jiayi now had more questions than she had answers.
What Han He said makes sense. Han De grew up in the Starfall Mountain Sect. He had no business with mortals, and the only woman he chased had flawless skin with not a blemish on sight.
Next, she rembered her own disguise. That day, Han De was clearly excited at the sight of her. But it wasnt just excitent he felt, there was also a fair amount of fear too.
After thinking things through, Wen Jiayi frowned.
Did he fell in love at first sight with my disguise?
Was that the reason for his objection to their engagent? He even ntioned talking to the grand elder of the Long family! Because he fell in love with her disguise?!
This made so sense! If that was his first independent encounter with the opposite sex, if he couldnt follow through with his intent, then that experience could beco a knot in his heart.
The chapter had ended, but Wen Jiayi kept blankly staring at the jade slate.
