Chapter 1104: Chapter 860: Vermilion Bird VS Jiuyou_2
Regrets aside, there’s no lack of n needed for survival here. The recent battle left everyone with insights to digest. San Niang has already curled up on the side, whether to sleep or to reflect; Yue Hongling remained seated with legs crossed, eyes closed, composed like a sword. Xia Chichi had plenty of things herself to digest, and therefore didn’t plan to cling to Zhao Changhe, leaving his embrace to sit alone.
However, as soon as she left, Zhao Changhe pulled her back, holding her as they stepped into the Heavenly River.
“Eh eh? What are you doing?” Xia Chichi nervously grabbed his collar, glancing at her sisters: “Didn’t you say you were going into seclusion? It feels like flipping my card would be laughed at.”
“Are you still afraid of being laughed at?” Zhao Changhe bit her ear and whispered: “The Qi Veins and Life Force of mountains and rivers I’ve recently realized with Piaomiao are all related to you. Your cultivation started later than others, so if I don’t seize this chance to give you special guidance, who do you plan to let break the formation from your side next ti?”
Xia Chichi’s eyes flowed with charm: “How do you open a special guidance?”
“Of course, it’s the way you’re thinking…”
As they vanished into the river, Xia Chichi gave Piaomiao a aningful look.
Piaomiao crossed her arms in dissatisfaction. The empire seeking heirs is a matter bound up with the stability of the nation; how is it so infuriating… You’ve brought the sacrificial ceremony, haven’t you? Why ask for help?
She pulled Huangfu Qing’s hand in annoyance and couldn’t be bothered to look more: “Let’s go find Jiuyou.”
…
Upon seeing Ye Jiuyou again, she was not in her abyss but standing alone on the mountaintop, silently gazing at the distant sky.
Her back remained desolate, yet Piaomiao no longer felt the dead silence she used to perceive when she saw Ye Jiuyou. Instead, it seed like a frost flower blossod on the Snow Mountain.
“What has he poured into your soup these days?” Piaomiao stopped behind Ye Jiuyou, asked incredulously: “Your imagery has changed, theoretically speaking, saying you’re not Jiuyou anymore wouldn’t be a stretch.”
“Whether it’s Jiuyou or not isn’t that important; being myself is enough.” Ye Jiuyou didn’t turn around, still watching the distant sky, speaking softly: “When did you beco Piaomiao?”
“My body was reshaped together with him, so saying I’ve beco soone else wouldn’t be incorrect.”
“So can it be considered that both Piaomiao and Jiuyou have died?”
“Pretty much.”
Ye Jiuyou was silent for a mont, slowly said: “Then the current you, do you still hate Ye Wuming?”
Piaomiao replied: “This hatred is slightly faint, yet hasn’t been eliminated. What she did to is unforgivable.”
Ye Jiuyou nodded: “Good, you haven’t turned into a fool by your kindness.”
Piaomiao smiled, not saying much.
Ye Jiuyou said: “When the Innate Demon God perishes completely, the Heavenly Dao’s influence on this world will reach its weakest level. Ye Wuming must be waiting for this mont. Currently, the issue we need to consider is whether in this matter, we should seek revenge on Ye Wuming or sothing else.”
Piaomiao remained silent.
Ye Jiuyou remarked indifferently: “There are many ways to take revenge; killing her is one, stopping her from achieving her goals and turning her plans for two epochs into empty words is another. Which do you think would harm her more?”
Piaomiao finally said: “The latter. If her plans are ruined, it would certainly be more agonizing for her than dying.”
“So, are you planning to do that?” Ye Jiuyou asked softly: “Yet stopping her might benefit another enemy instead.”
Piaomiao had already read the translation Zhao Changhe gave, fully aware of what Ye Jiuyou was saying, yet could only fall silent.
Considering herself once a clay puppet set by others, Piaomiao was indeed very displeased, but she had already reshaped her body and soul before knowing this, so the shock wasn’t as great.
Nonetheless, she completely understood Ye Jiuyou’s feelings, genuinely wishing to tear the at and skin apart.
If Ye Wuming opposes the Heavenly Dao, should they still ruin Ye Wuming’s plans?
Should they instead collaborate with Ye Wuming, then turn around to settle accounts later? However, Ye Wuming’s grand ambition spanning two epochs, once achieved, would boost her cultivation to an unreachable level for anyone. Who would settle whose accounts then?
Piaomiao couldn’t answer.
Huangfu Qing’s voice was heard nearby: “Although I don’t quite understand what you’re discussing… but if you’re tangled, why not leave it to Changhe to decide? Is it still a matter of not trusting Changhe?”
Ye Jiuyou finally turned to look at her: “I trust Changhe enough to draw a blade against Ye Wuming for . But wanting to draw a blade, and wanting to kill her are two different things. Changhe may not even have made up his mind inside; I don’t want to force him into an extre choice.”
Huangfu Qing was sowhat shocked.
Not wanting to coerce Changhe into an extre decision… this is a mindset only deep love would yield.
It’s understandable for Piaomiao to think this way, but the fact that this statent cos from Ye Jiuyou is astounding!
It truly shattered preconceived notions.
Huangfu Qing hesitated a mont and tentatively asked: “So you discuss in private, without ntioning it to Changhe? What if the result of your discussion is sothing Changhe wouldn’t want to see?”
Ye Jiuyou shook her head and said: “Primarily, I feel a bit apprehensive about ntioning Ye Wuming’s matter to Changhe.”
“Why?”
“Because Changhe can perceive things even in my dark abyss and can traverse it freely; I believe Piaomiao may not be as adept as him here.” Ye Jiuyou said calmly: “Ye Wuming cannot enter my territory at will; yet what has happened before… other than Changhe visiting, there were no other factors. I do not doubt Changhe, but suspect Ye Wuming has done sothing to him, unbeknownst to himself. When he is present, our conversations can’t escape Ye Wuming’s hearing. This is troubling, as I can’t even alert Changhe without essentially speaking in front of Ye Wuming.”
